I am really like this food, i get the combo D with shrimp and its including the bowl with meat, veggies and noodle too, they mix it together and we can choose the sauce, i ask what recommended sauce, they said all the sauces is good. Also, i put teriyaki sauce on the top my food after they cooked ,add Siracha its make me full, and if you guys like eat rice, they have on the side white rice, they cooked the rice is really good. I recommended this place!!! I will come back again. read more

Like all the other reviews say, this place skimps out on pretty much everything. I ordered at the front, and you tell them what meat you want. No more packing the bowls yourself; they give you a set amount, and if you want more noodles or meat, it's extra. The portion size is definitely lacking for the $17 I paid, and that's with getting every vegetable possible to increase the value. No free water cups either, so you'll need to buy or bring your own drink. The noodle quantity is actually quite hilarious, as it's a tiny bowl. Taste-wise, it's good and what you'd expect from a Mongolian BBQ, but I've never seen a place so stingy with every little thing. read more

Ordered my daughter a kids' noodle bowl ($4) and asked to add a few pieces of carrot and broccoli from the sides -- not a full portion, just a small topping. Staff refused unless we paid for the full $15 adult meal to access any vegetables at all. No à la carte or small-add option exists. Charging a 275% markup to add a handful of vegetables to a kids' dish is not a portioning issue; it's a policy designed to upsell parents with picky-eating kids who just want some produce on the plate. Asked to speak with a manager; got the same answer, no flexibility offered. Food quality aside, this pricing structure makes the kids' menu functionally unusable for anyone who wants a balanced meal without paying adult prices. Won't be back. read more

Not like how it used to be. I remember coming here often. I feel like the portions are alot smaller now. I asked for tofu and they gave me 4 pieces and when i asked if they could give me a little more she just added 2. The one who gave us meat seemed to give us a decent amount though. She seemed nicer. Noodle sizes seem to have shrunk but i guesd that was why they asked if we wanted extra meat or noodles Im just glad the noodles are back to their orangeyness. read more

Red Iron - Combo c - Mongolian Near Me - Arcadia, California

OK, so you've been to these types of spots before, right? These places were huge in the 90s and early 2000s, back when you could load and pile up your bowl with as much "Mongolian" bits as you could. It was like an acquired skill to see how much food you could stuff into one bowl. Those days are over now, unfortunately. They won't let you near their bowls. Thanks a lot, Bin Laden. Well, Red Iron at the food court in the Arcadia Mall still keeps it real, though. Sort of. Prices for their stir-fried noodle entrees are still reasonable, and they load your bowl up big time. Not 2004 big time, but in this economy, it's big. This is a large meal and you won't be getting cheated. Proteins are turkey, beef, chicken and pork. I usally stick with the chicken and pork as those cuts are not as tough and chewy like the beef. Sure, this isn't exactly authentic Mongolian cuisine and nothing is barbecued here, but if you're hungry, this will hit the spot. read more

Pricing is on the pricier end and so less meat and vegetable. The taste is good though and the two young woman that was helping out was nice. The cooker not so nice, seems like he don't want to work. Food is tasty but i guess the ratio of meat, vegetable, and noodle is the same as ordering a chow mien at a restaurant... i'd eat again but probably not a frequent choice. read more

Red Iron - Noodles with meat and vegetables $14.85 before tax - Mongolian Near Me - Arcadia, California

BLAND & STINGY PORTIONS Dont waste your money here. They don't let you grab your own veggies meat! I usually share a plate with my kids when I get Mongolian bbq at the Brea Mall but here it's not enough. Meat tastes like freezer. No flavor in the stir fry my son didn't eat his. They don't have siracha hot sauce just the chili oil one. They don't even give you free cups of water. She said you have to buy it! Never eating here again. read more

I was really disappointed with my experience at Red Iron Mongolian BBQ. The staff was inattentive and the portions were extremely skimpy compared to what you would expect for the price. They were literally pulling the meat apart into tiny pieces to make the portions look bigger while giving very little actual food. The vegetable portions were also very small, and instead of providing a reasonable amount, they kept pushing customers to pay extra for additional vegetables. It felt more focused on upselling than providing good service or value. Unfortunately, the overall experience left me feeling unsatisfied and not eager to return. Don't waste your time coming here! read more

Red Iron - Unattentive staff who are more concerned with their mobile devices than assisting customers. - Mongolian Near Me - Arcadia, California

This place tries to scam your money. For extra noodles it literally says 3.50 and the lady charges me 4.00 as a side noodle instead. When I pointed to the menu she just ignored me and said that's just how it is. On top of that they put the extra noodles in a small bowl and the guy after who orders extra noodles gets his extra noodles put in a bigger full bowl. What an extremely shady place. read more

Very horrible, stingy location. They automaticallt charged 10 cents for bag, no matter you eat there or take it to go. If you ordered one order and asked for two utensils and one chopstick, they said "we limit" even this food will be for three people. And they only give two forks because there are only two people visible in front of them. I guess..my other baby will just have to use her hands to eat when I pick her up from school. I understand the economic hardship but this is too much. The amount of food given is way less and not generous like before. There are signs said amount of noodle depending on the items in the bowl. So, if you get a bunch of stuff in the bowl, you will get little to no noodle. I need to remember to go elsewhere. They used to be good, but not anymore. read more

I ordered this for dinner through uber eats. The noodles did not have a lot of chicken, they were mostly just noodles with a few vegetables and small amounts of chicken. The flavor was just okay, not the greatest. I did need to add more soy sauce for more flavor. I don't think the price is worth it because of the amount of protein you get. The food did come very fast, probably in about 30 minutes. I cannot comment about the ambiance since I ordered online. read more

My youngest son's fav place to eat. Love the simple menu for ordering purposes. Brought his friend a here for lunch and it was so easy. Good portions and fresh ingredients. Much better than panda. Nice friendly staff with big smiles. Love that service too is included. For growing men his is a good option. Quick and convenient in the food court. Will definitely be a future option too when we're here at the mall. read more

I was craving Mongolian BBQ and the place I usually order from on Door Dash was closed. Gave Red Iron a shot despite the mixed reviews. Overall...I was satisfied however, it was not as flavorful as I had expected. Food was hot. I got about the amount of beef I expected when you order delivery. What they DID make good on was my request for extra water chestnuts. They were plentiful! Would give 3.5 stars, but can't give it 4. read more

Red Iron - Entree - beef, broccoli, zucchini, celery and lots of water chestnuts. Selected medium heat...and it was not spicy (which is good). - Mongolian Near Me - Arcadia, California

The main downside to this place is how little meat they give you. This place used to allow you to self serve and add as much stuff as you can fit into your bowl, but after COVID, they switched to the employees adding it to the bowl for you. Today we asked for beef and chicken and they gave us literally four pieces of beef and a small handful of broken pieces of chicken... they were slightly more generous with the vegetables and noodles but if they are going to charge $14.50 for a bowl, at least give more meat. read more

They've doubled their prices for the same entree. It's was good but HARD PASS now. At least pretend to offer more for DOUBLE THE PRICE!!

Pretty tasty Mongolian styled food. I appreciate the wide selection of meats and vegetables you can add to your dish. The noodles were al dente and had a lot of flavor. I ordered the beef which was not entirely fresh but just average. Overall, I'd come here when I'm craving for some quick Asian food at the mall. read more

Decided to venture out and try out other places in the food court since we always stick to the same ones. However, the food at Red Iron has been disappointing...You order at the counter and choose your meat and veggies, which will be taken to the grill (noodles will be added). First off, the meat (beef in this case) looks like it was frozen and then defrosted (and it's in slices) all and all to say don't think it's quality meat at all but given the price point, it is somewhat expected. On to the rest of the dish, it just doesn't taste that great...not to say it's not flavorful but the flavor is really not appetizing. At similar price points, you can really get much better quality meat at other spots... The service was good though! read more

So delicious and savory! Would totally recommend! I love that they cook it right in front of you with whatever your heart desires! :)

I thought it was tasty and filling. I even had some leftovers. Only complaint was it was a bit too salty. I guess they could ask if you want a little or a lot of broth (assuming that's what made it salty), or next time I'll make sure to ask for less broth. They seem to have solved the issue of the food burning the styrofoam someone had mentioned before, because they had tin foil lining the container now. read more

Red Iron has quickly become one of my favorite spots at the mall. The food here is honestly great! everything tastes fresh, flavorful, and you can tell they put care into what they're serving. The portions are generous, and I always leave full and satisfied. The workers are super nice and welcoming every time I come in. They're attentive without being pushy, which I really appreciate. Even when it's busy, they move fast and keep everything running smoothly, so you never feel like you're waiting forever for your order. What I like most is the consistency. each visit feels just as good as the last. It's the kind of place you can rely on when you're craving a solid meal without worrying about the quality slipping. Overall, great food, great people, and great service. Definitely a spot worth coming back to again and again. read more

Now they have the option to pay for extra and they're still tight with their servings. They have an attitude if you ask for more. Why charge more if you're still going to act rude about it? Last time I checked veggies and tofu don't cost a lot at the market. Same price for a plate at a decent restaurant when this is fast food. read more

I'm honestly never really complained about the food portion sizes but recently I had went to the mall and the lady's were so disrespectful and they were cracking down bad over the food sizes.. i chose my two meat options that and I asked if I can get more pork, she then proceeded to take out more meat from my bowl then grab 1 PIECE OF PORK and rip it into 3 pieces calling that extra. I let it go and I pick the rest of my options then when I go ahead and pick out tofu she again grabs one piece. I asked her three separate times to get more and she gives me one piece of tofu every time. So in total I got 4 then one lady yells at me telling me to get an extra bowl since I want so much. It was insanely disrespectful, and this is the first time I've ever been spoken to like this . We proceed to go back-and-forth and I try to explain that four pieces is not extra. And I just want a decent amount. The food is good but the service is not. I'm not eating here again read more

No a got spot a Nah, not worth it anymore. You fight mall traffic, hunt for parking, walk all the way in there, do all the work yourself putting the bowl together, and then they still act stingy with the chicken and beef. Come on, people are already making the effort to eat there. Definitely not the same as it used to be. read more

Pleasantly surprised! I usually avoid mall Mongolian and I hated trying to cram whatever I could into a single dish, so the new format where they fill the bowls for you was a game changer. Not quite the same as the AYCE places where you can serve yourself and customize, but in a pinch, this Red Iron hit the spot. Service was really great. Served up whatever I asked for and kept asking if I wanted more. I also mentioned that I didn't want noodles and would love extra veggies, which they accommodated with a full extra bowl in place of the bowl of noodles. Flavor wise, it was just ok. Would have loved adding my own sauces, but it was as much me not being familiar with the flavors, so not solely on Red Iron here. Quality wise, the beef was a bit chewy, but pork was good. Overall, I would definitely return when at the mall and craving Mongolian. Especially for the service and how they accommodated our orders. Would I pick them over a stand alone AYCE Mongolian favorite? Probably not, but definitely would go again after some shopping at the mall. read more

If I can give a 0 star I would... portions were skimped, sauces even more. The cooks threw more water on the food to dilute the 7 seas. No broth till they throw the noodles in with your toppings. Tried to get a refund only to say it's my fault for ordering. Customer service is despicable... it never used to be this way... now I hope they go out of business. read more

Place has been getting stingier by the day. Workers are rude with no emotion. They put less ingredients and noodles each time I go. When asking for more mushroom, the worker said, "Mushroom is too expensive." The price has gone up more for less food, no longer worth it. read more

Red Iron has always been my secret food spot located in the Arcadia Mall. It's a Mongolian style barbecued plate, with option to choose between beef, pork, turkey meats etc. I've noticed that the price has steadily increased, from its original $9 to 11 to now the $14 ranges pre tax With tax you'll be expecting to pay about $16 per plate. Extra noodles, rice and soup are allowed, but paying for extra meat isn't. Red Iron used to thrive through its AYCE style precocial, but I understand their changes post-COVID, and how they're trying to cut costs by having the employees portion out the sizes for you. My recommendation is to choose beef and pork, with a side of broccoli, celery, tofu, and mushrooms. My ALWAYS ALWAYS sauces include adding garlic and soy sauce, to really enhance the flavor of the noodles and the meat. What I also enjoy is the ability to watch your food being cooked in front of you! Overall, it's started to decrease in portion sizing over the years. I know you are a business, but as a college student, this barely is enough to fill my stomach. read more

Red Iron - A classic combination of all 4 meats, with vegetables and tofu - Mongolian Near Me - Arcadia, California

I honestly love this place. Yes, it's mall food court food but I feel like I get a good amount of food for the price I pay and I actually enjoy the food too. They truly fill up your bowl with all of your toppings and have never said no to my request for a little more of something. The employees are always quick with their service and nice along the way and it's nice to have something that feels a little fresher than typical mall food. Of course you have to deal with the mall surrounding ambiance but for a quick bite when exploring the mall or before a movie, it's perfect! read more

I love this place! I usually take it to go & still warm by the time I get home or wherever I go. Before covid you were able to serve yourself, but now they do it. I don't mind it....I actually think it's a little better. It's so tasty!! If you want soy sauce and hot sauce make sure you ask because they won't just give it to you. I gave it 4 stars because food is great, but customer service isn't. It's not too bad, but it could be better. read more

No mall is complete without a mongolian bbq restaurant inside the food court, and for the Westfield Santa Anita, Red Iron is the bbq spot to check out if you have a Mongolian bbq craving. My husband ordered a mongolian bbq bowl. With COVID-19 still at large, the business had pivoted to the way they make their bbq noodles. For example, when ordering noodles and all the fixings, you can no longer fill the bowl yourself, the staff does it for you. I remember back in the day, I used to stuff by bowls and squeeze as much meat down as I could to maximize how much I spent on these noodles. Mongolian noodles are a great junk food remedy in my opinion. So if you're looking for a greasy dish, look no further than this place. read more
