I am usually hesitant with Mongolian grills after Hu Hot ruined me, but this place blew it out of the water! I enjoyed picking my own ingredients and seeing the gentleman do their dance. I was very impressed at their skill of cooking in such a short period. My only regret was one of the ingredients I put in wasn't the tastiest after cooking, but that was my bad! I will come back again! Reasonably priced for the amount of food you get and you will have leftovers! read more

Food was not that great, a little disappointed. The service was good, she kept my glass full. This restaurant did not have some of the ingredients I'm use to. The sauces in my opinion lacked flavor. The restaurant was quiet although there were only a couple of other patrons there. read more

The cooking area was disgustingly dirty. Oil and food all over the floor and I don't think the cook knew what was doing. There were lots of noodles overcooked and stuck to the cooking surface. The finished product wasn't even very tasty. It'll be a long time if I ever go back. read more

We needed to eat after a full day at Devil's Tower and Mt Rushmore. The staff was very friendly and the food was good. What's nice is you can load up a large bowl with tons of veggies that cook down they will put it into a smaller bowl do you pay less. Since it's not AYCE they offer you Togo boxes for leftovers. read more

This Place is my 2nd home ! :)Everyone is always so so sweet, food is always a hit, veggies and meat are fresh! someone is always cleaning the area. Love this place i definitely recommend read more

This was my first time ever venturing into a Mongolian restaurant and I wasn't aware that you fixed your own bowl and they ended up cooking it right in front of you. I tried to add as much food as I can, but maybe getting large items wasn't the way to go because my bowl was already full. What I fixed came out looking and tasting good, but it funny how food shrinks once you started cooking and I probably should have went with a larger bowl lol. read more

These guys took our party in at the last minute. We were coming back from a sightseeing excursion (Needles highway - AMAZING!! Must see!!) and the Mongolian Grill had only one Chef left! They took us nonetheless. Very accommodating and not only is the food DELISH, but great for large finicky parties as there's something for everyone! Remember to tip your grillers. Perks: Friendly staff Accommodating Patient Grill is so cool Women's restroom is a sight to behold. The configuration of toilets is perfect for girlfriends , moms and daughters or close womenfolk want to share photos while they answer the call of nature! Waiting in line for the bathroom? Have a gander at the book collection and compare notes w others in line! read more

Mongolian Grill - a bowl of noodles and a glass of water - Mongolian Near Me - Rapid City, South Dakota

The people here are very nice and they have a good food selection. And it is good looking besides the bathroom it dose not have stalls.it is clean. They really water down the food compared to huhut . read more

Servers where very friendly. However we where the only people in the restaurant. The place was messy and there was plenty of time to get things cleaned up and hygienic. You basically get vm lots of noodles and rice, tiny vegetables and weird shaved hunks of frozen meat. An array of sauces labeled to not make sense. I don't believe dinner for $50 was worth it. read more

The food selection is good. I love Mongolian BBQ. The sauce will be bland if you choose medium so add more flavors and a bit of her for a true medium flavor. read more

We loved this place! The service is wonderful! The ladies were so helpful and explained to us everything because that was our first time there, as well as in the city. In two words if you are going there for the first time, you will find a buffet with a variety of veggies, meat, two types of noddles and lots of different sources. You will be offered to choose between three bowl sizes (s, m and l). You pick a bowl you want and choose whatever you want from the buffet to be mixed and cooked for you on the huge round grill by a chef. As for the sources, if you don't know what to choose they have a menu above the sources how to combine them to get a tasty dish at the end. Also, a chef will ask you if you want to add Teriyaki source while grilling. We all agreed and didn't regret. Also, I liked the moment that if you chose a large bowl but while being cooked the food changed in its size (it will anyway), the chef will put it in a proper size bowl at the end and you will be charged not for the bowl size you chose at the beginning but for the bowl size you have gotten when the food was ready! In other words, I chose a big bowl, put lots of veggies which decreased in size while being cooked and the chef put my food in a medium bowl at the end and I paid for a medium bowl. I think this is so fair! If we are back in that city one day, we will go to Mongolian Grill again for sure! read more

Mongolian Grill - Mongolian restaurant - Mongolian Near Me - Rapid City, South Dakota

You have a choice!!! Amazing establishment and the waitress was very kind. You are able to watch your very own stir fry get made in front of you!! Only two choices of noodles but you can get a free cup of rice as a side!!! A handful and a half of choices for meat and all the veggies you would need for your very own stir fry!!! Absolutely adored the atmosphere. Also their recommendations for sauce choices are small but very tasty!! Wish there was more seasoning or more of a trial run! read more

Most placed I've been to that feature a Mongolian grill also have a buffet to go with it. Not here. You choose what you want to be in the dish you're constructing, and that's it. Nothing else. Food was good, but we left unsatisfied. Warning, they serve Pepsi. read more

Excellent food. Good service. Decent prices. Definitely glad we stopped here for dinner tonight.

The staff is wonderful! The food is fresh and the place is kept clean! You always have left overs too!

Great food and service! I highly recommend if you enjoy Mongolian stirfry. Lots of options for your own unique dish.

The service was prompt and our waitress always made sure we had drink refills. The food was cooked to perfection right in front of us on a huge grill. So much different food to choose and every sauce you can imagine was offered. The concoction I made was delicious and so filling I brought a full to-go box home...all at a very reasonable price. LOVE this place!! read more

Mongolian Grill - My creation was delicious! - Mongolian Near Me - Rapid City, South Dakota

Didn't like the food at all. This is by far the worst meal I've had from California to South Dakota. I've been to a lot of Mongolian bbqs and this one certainly does not meet the standard. This place does not have the variety like others. There's no lamb or any other kind of seafood besides shrimp. For an AYCE place, I was surprised there's no appetizer (usually an egg roll or something) or dessert (like sesame balls and ice cream). I cannot justify paying almost $20/person for this kind of food. Also, I followed the recommended sauce mix and it was very salty. The cook added more teriyaki sauce as he cooked which made the food even more salty. I would cut the sauce recommendation by at least half or even more. People commented on how clean this place is, but there were a ton of flies around the restaurant and around the food. I'm not confident that this place is all that clean. Also, being there at 8:00pm at night, the restaurant is very dark. I don't understand why this place can't just turn on the lights. People also commented on how nice the staff is here, and they are nice except they gave us the wrong information on the price of the AYCE. We were told $18.xx per person when we called but when we walked in, the cost went up to $19.xx . Not sure what caused the price to jump by $1 within 30 minutes. For a business that's been around for almost 20 years and with great Yelp reviews, I was really shocked by the quality and taste of food. read more

Between this and HuHot, this place wins everyday for us. Lots of choices in veggies and proteins. They do have less sauces, but I just feel the quality is so much better. We have always had fast and courteous service. My entire family loves to come here. I usually get a medium bowl and I have left overs. read more

Food: I had never been to a Mongolian place before. If this is what you are supposed to do then it was pretty good. You choose your own toppings, sauces and veggies, mix them together and then the cooks fry it up. I don't remember what I got, but it turned out okay. The thing I don't like about places where you "make your own" is that REAL chefs know how to mix and match flavors to get your taste buds going. When you go to a place like this, it is left up to the customer and I don't know how to mix the flavors correctly. So although mine came out good, I tried a few other peoples and the flavor was completely different. Service: Probably the worst part, unfortunately, because during a dinner rush, you are standing there for 15 minutes with a bowl of uncooked food waiting for an open chef. I felt that this was a little odd that they didn't have more people to account for the huge rush at dinner. Our waitress was a "no-frills" person... drinks, bill and see ya later. Lastly, the chefs looked tired and were not like the chefs you would see at Benihana's (it's in San Diego...) even though we tipped them. Overall just "meh" on the service rating. Price: Cheap. A medium bowl for 9$ will fill up a grown man (:: cough cough ::) like me. I saw people getting large bowls with HEAPING scoops of noodles, which would be enough for two meals easily. They have a good selection of veggies and toppings too, it's a cheap dinner or lunch. Atmosphere: It's a little dark inside and a little cramped. It is like a buffet seating arrangement. Just a few decorations inside, kind of uncomfortable seats. It reminds me a lot of the Chinese buffet here in San Diego. Overall: It's cheap and they give you a ton of food, but don't go with a huge party, you will be waiting a while. And by the time the last person eats, the first person is done with their plate. It wasn't bad and if I was in the area, I would stop here again, but I would prefer to try other places. read more

1 star is me being generous! Food, service and ambiance was all don't waste ur money here instead buy some frozen dinners from Walmart!

This place never fails! Small bowl is plenty to fill you with leftovers. Great flavors with fresh ingredients.

The food is delicious, but the prices aren't posted anywhere in the store. The website's prices are drastically lower than what they actually charge. We thought we were paying about $60, but we payed $108. We asked why it's not the same and she said its just not updated. We had no idea the prices or that they charged for the rice when they just offered it to us. Overall the food is really good, but the service could be better. read more

I love Mongolian Grill and would recommend any friend to go. The food is in a buffet style, where you get to go and pick what veggies, meats, noodles and sauces that you want in your bowl. Than, on a giant rounded grill, they cook it right in front of you! I do not know how authentic it is, but whatever it is, it still taste amazing! The staff is very friendly, especially since I have been going there for years. They are fixing up the place but I wish it was a little cleaner and that they would redo the bathrooms whenever they have enough money. read more

This was my 1st time trying Mongolian food it was OK. The way they cooked it was amazing I just did not realize that you could fill up your bowl also they really were not very strong about everybody wearing gloves before they touch the tongs to pick up the food and it was almost as if the food needed to be fresher read more

Not the worst Mongolian that I've tasted, still very decent. I would recommend the cooks to leave the food on the stove a few more minutes overall it was ok. Good service!! read more

Mongolian Grill - Magnolia food all you can eat! - Mongolian Near Me - Rapid City, South Dakota

Debated on writing this review but thought we should warn other tourists. Went there last month with a big party. The food was so bad we all ended up wasting our food. It was that bad. Somehow they must have added vinegar to our food by the grill cook. We couldn't 9figure out how our food became so sour to make it inedible. On hindsight we should of complained as we ended up hungry and going out to fast food after. read more

I have been going to this Mongolian grill for years. When anyone asks where I want to go eat, I always say Mongolian Grill. I have worked in the restaurant industry and I know what goes on in the "back of the house" so it's nice to be able to see your food be cooked. One of the best things about Mongolian Grill is that you get to take home your left overs. You can't do that at HuHot. This is why, to the disgust of a previous reviewer, customers jam food into those bowls. On a good day you can get two more meals out of your large bowl. it is because you can't take your food home that I have not been to HuHot, but instead go to Mongolian grill. I would suggest you use the baby corns with caution. I don't know what's up with them, but they can be funky. read more

Mongolian Grill - Mongolian Near Me - Rapid City, South Dakota

This place was just outside our hotel. So, without much thinking, we went there for a dinner after a long day of travel. The dining area was huge and clean. There were lots of vegetable options, two types of noodles and tons of sauces to choose from. My husband and I took a medium size bowl. On our request chef cleaned the WOK for us, as we are vegetarians. The food was amazingly delicious!! The only suggestion I have for this place is they don't allow sharing. They should put a note about sharing policy so that people can choose the right size of the bowl. read more

I didn't expect to find a decent Mongolian place in Rapid City, but I was proven wrong. We were on our way elsewhere, but decided to stop here as it would be fast and have vegetables. The food was filling, and the service was pretty good. Unlike other Mongolian places I've seen, you can choose to either get the all you can eat, or pay a set amount for a small, medium, or large bowl. If we were going to be in Rapid City longer, I'd consider going back. read more

Only one kind of noodle, tired looking mushrooms, and sauces that do nothing to add flavor. Tofu ladle was at the bottom of the container, which gave me pause. Nice staff. Please add some kick and flavor to the sauces or there is no point. read more

I only have half a clue when it comes to Mongolian food. I just glob a bunch of stuff that looks tasty into a bowl and trust the restaurant to 1) have put out good tasting stuff and 2) cook it correctly. Mongolian Grill isn't the best I've ever had but it's decent. One thing I do like about this restaurant is its choice of portion sizes. You can choose small, medium, large, or all you can eat. The large bowl should be plenty for most guys. At other restaurants there's only 1 size bowl and it's often not quite enough. read more

This place is amazing. Food is great and staff will always keep your drinks filled. Cost is good. Highly recommend we come every chance we can. read more

If you've been to one Mongolian Grill you've been to them all. This one is no different from the many grill restaurants around the country: Mongolian BBQ, Flat Top Grill to name a few. The only stand out about this Grill is the staff. Friendly, attentive. I heard my server give multiple people stir fry suggestions. This place is huge. And there's plenty of booths for everyone. Nice place. read more

Staying in Rapid City for Sturgis, stopped by for dinner. I was not disappointed. I have eaten at many Mongolian grills, this one is authentic and super tasty. Highly recommend. read more

Maybe I don't know enough about Mongolian grills to be reviewing this one, since the only one I had been to before was the HuHot in my hometown, but this restaurant left my wife and I much to be desired. The service was not good, the portions were good, but the items offered were iffy at best. My wife had some shrimp in her bowl, and so far she hasn't gotten sick, but the evening is early yet. I didn't even fill my bowl, and had plenty. What amazed me was watching others fill their bowls to get their money's worth. And when I say fill, I mean they overfill their bowls and smash it down, then I saw one person use that same hand to reach in and grab more noodles to put on top, then smash it down again. If you're a poor college student, I guess it's worth the money, but if you actually earn your money, I'd say spend it elsewhere. read more

This is my Husbands and my favorite place to eat when we visit Rapid City. The food is always fresh and the wait staff are so friendly.

You definitely get a lot of food! You'll leave with leftovers for sure! Food was good, not fantastic, I would've liked udon noodles better. Front counter lady was so sweet and helpful. Overall, I left full, satisfied, and will be back. read more

Very good!!!! Amazing!!!!! It was funny because when me and my dad walked I'm we thought it was a typical buffet. You basically pick up a plate and choose whatever you want to put with the noodles. What I suggest to everybody that go there, just pick up the small plate and refill as much as you can! Because the price will stay the same and the medium and large plates are too big! Very good experience and food read more
