Mongolian BBQ on Truxel is a decent spot if you're in the mood for a quick, customizable meal. The atmosphere is casual and relaxed, with enough seating for a simple, laid back meal. The service is okay. It is not especially good or bad, but the staff keeps things moving without making you feel rushed. You get to choose your own ingredients, vegetables, choice of meat and sauces, which is probably the best part of the experience. The key is picking the right combination of sauces and condiments so your bowl has plenty of flavor. They also include rice and a spring roll, which is a nice addition. The food is decent, the portions are reasonable, and it is nice being able to build your bowl based on what you like. It is not necessarily a place I would go out of my way to visit, but it works when you want something casual and filling without spending too much time deciding what to order. Overall, it is an average Mongolian BBQ experience. Nothing extraordinary, but worth trying if you enjoy choosing your own ingredients and watching your meal get cooked fresh on the grill. read more

I was so happy when I realized this place existed one day after shopping at Wal-Mart. Though I must admit, the All You Can Eat option is a lot of food. For the price though it's a hard bargain to beat. If you're a light eater the lunch might be a better value. The employees are very efficient, not overly friendly but efficient. The restaurant is super casual. Food is so fresh and delicious though. One of my favorite casual dining spots in Natomas. read more

This spot in Natomas for Mongolian BBQ is old-school as it gets and I love them for it. Sizzling Fresh Mongolian BBQ on Truxel Road in Natomas is that spot. They are truly a no-frills type of spot where someone walks in hungry and walks out full and quite satisfied. They don't have any fancy interior,no fancy tables or dishes-they are all about the freshly made hot delicious food they serve you. This location is located in a very busy parking lot right next door to Regal Cinemas-so plenty of parking. But also plenty of traffic. When you walk in you go to the register and either get the dine-in all you can eat bowl for $18.75 or the one bowl take-out for $17.55 .There is a slight discount for children under 10 years old. Drinks are $3.49 each and are self-serve. This is your typical Mongolian BBQ spot where you get an empty bowl and walk down the line filling it with ingredients of choice meats and veggies and sauces and then at the end you hand your bowl to an employee who cooks your ingredients on a Mongolian BBQ griddle, then hands your bowl back to you with all your ingredients fully cooked. You can go back and make as many bowls as you can finish-the most I've ever eaten is 3-I've never tried to go past that. This location also brings an egg roll and fried rice to your table for you to eat with your bowl. I do like this place quite a bit and have been going here since they opened around 2016. I find their vegetables are pretty fresh and well stocked and they keep the assembly line pretty clean as people tend to get pretty messy with their sauces as they are building their bowls. Overall I would highly recommend this spot if you're looking for a good meal with lots of flavor and it helps if you come with a hearty appetite as it's a pretty filling place when all is said and done. read more

The staff is very rude. No personality. The man on the grill was yelling and was mean mugging the customers. The veggies were picked over. The sauces were watered down. $18.95 per person. Save your money and go somewhere else. This place is a hard no. read more

Probably the worst Mongolian bbq I've had, I hate to say it. I got a to go order and topped my bowl and chose to go with the spicy options for flavors. The recipe is the same as another spot I go to, however this came out flavorless and not one bit spicy. I do believe it's because the cook threw a tons of water on my food as it was cooking and I think it watered it down. He then threw it inside the container all on top of the rice and other food inside. Usually at these sorts of places, they bag it up for you with utensils and napkins. Nope. Food thrown on the container and that's it. It was basically sitting in a pool of water in the container. read more

Time for an update! I had not been here in years because my last trip was not good. We came for dinner on a weekday. It was $17.75 for all you can eat. You order at the counter, they give you a bowl and assign you a table. I thought that was odd but discovered later that is how you get a new bowl for your next round. I liked the selection. They had Tofu. A lot of places don't anymore. The sauces are still a bit weak so I put a little more. They didn't have lobster sauce. Wait time was good. It isn't the best but it isn't the worst I have had. I would go again especially since it is close to home. Fair prices. Yes, not the friendliest but also Asian owned it appears. Its just how it is. read more

Not very friendly. This business has so much patients to be great but first you need to be kind and friendly to the people you are serving.

Great spot to take a large group- something for everyone. Casual dining, order at the counter, dingy plastic beverage cups but the food was very fresh. read more

This place is just as rude and dirty as their other place in Elk Grove. Rude staff, bad food, dirty tables and floor. The meat tasted off. They watch you like a buzzard . Keep coming by the table acting nosy, but never said squat. We still had to ask for drink refills and they acted all put out. I'm caucasian, but my friend is not . They were eye balling her like a hooker getting ready to steal a bottle of soy sauce . read more

Rude service They're watching your every move! Prices are ridiculous. You can choose take out for a dollar less but they tell you can eat it here. Then they serve you in foam to go boxes which wasn't mentioned Not worth it. The services it self not worth going back. read more

I've been coming to this place since I was a little kid and it's still one of my absolute favorite comfort meals. I love that you get to choose everything that goes into your noodles, and the all-you-can-eat option makes it a good value if you dine in. However, their prices have risen steeply in the last couple of years. Today I got one to-go bowl and it was over $18 (in 2019 this was around $12, for reference). Even though it's a lot of food, dining here is starting to get pretty overpriced for what it is. read more

I went her because years ago we would go for lunch at work. But that was before "COVID". That was and is awful!! Anyway when i went for dinner it was all you could eat. You make your own food and its cooked for you. The restaurant is extremely clean and pleasant. I was assigned a table and given a bowl to make my selection of meat etc. it was just as tasty as I remembered! Will have to go once a month just to have a nice warm meal. read more

A Golden bowl of Happiness! When you get one bowl you can't help it but to get ANOTHER one, and ANOTHER one and ANOTHER one.

I was craving Mongolian BBQ. As my husband and I came in through the door, we were greeted by a staff member mopping the floor. I nearly fell but thankfully my husband kept me upright. The staff member apologized, but I think she needed something to dry the wet floor. I held on to my husband as we navigated the ingredient buffet. The selection was good with the standard items. I do wish they could have given us a plate of sweet and sour wontons. We were given one a piece. I miss the sesame biscuits from other Mongolian BBQs, so I always add a bunch of sesame seeds in my bowl. The instructions/rules for All You Can Eat were confusing. I can never finish a whole bowl so I prefer takeout. Two signs said All You Can Eat dinner doesn't qualify for takeout. Yet, I saw three customers carrying takeout packages... My husband ordered AYCE for us. The receipt said take out. I was confused even more but didn't want to chase down a staff member and risk slipping on the wet floor. I ate about 80% of it as I was hungry. We weren't offered packaging for to go, so I'm still confused. Besides, the mix of top 40 radio and the ventilation system made communication a bit difficult. Overall, I enjoyed my food. Good stuff. I joke about the little things that happened that night, but the most important part was a clean restaurant, pleasant staff, and good food. In fact, I'm craving it again... read more

This is my second time coming and the food was mid.. my bowl was watered down once they grilled it. I think its overpriced for what it is.

It says it's open til 9pm. Staff was cleaned up by 8:30pm and out the door by 8:45pm. Walked in and everything was put away. I don't know where there were all going, leaving work early. No emergency just all cutting out because maybe they were slow. But if you say you're open til a certain time, you must stay open even if it's a slow night. Unprofessional. Change your advertised hours if business is bad and slow. read more

A popular dinner place The customer service is good the vegetables/meats are always fresh and the price fair my family and I come often

Sizzling Mongolian bbq has been a part of my childhood since middle school, and for a reason. This place serves delicious and fresh Mongolian bbq items that are affordable for the family ($15 lunch). The only bad thing is that the bowls are so small you can't even fit sauces in it sometimes. I wish they would let us put sauce in after ! They're pretty nice when it comes to it but to ask every time and get that look... I'd rather not. Good place to eat ! Recommend read more

Typical strip mall location. Friendly service, plentiful and fresh food, interior is nothing to take photos over. The disconcerting part is they tell you where to sit. Table service is just the rice and eggrolls, you get your own drinks and refills. read more

Having been to Sizzling Fresh Mongolian BBQ several times over the years, my family and I decided to go again after hearing there was new ownership. There is plenty of parking in the large shopping area with several stores and other food options nearby. The inside of the restaurant is relatively small, but has plenty of seating for everyone. The ambiance of the restaurant is similar to most restaurants, with some talking and background music in the background. With the new ownership they added a little stamp that you have to show to get a new bowl which was fine. The staff quickly rung us up and gave us the bowls to get started. Similar to most Mongolian BBQ locations you load up your own food to your liking and hand it to someone to cook. They have a fair amount of topping options. The noodles are yummy, especially if you prepare them well. The secret to flavorful noodles is to double everything on their recommended sauces and add extra to your preference. You also get a side of rice and a spring roll with every order, which is a nice cherry on the top. The pricing is a bit on the expensive side, but for all you can eat you can definitely get your moneys worth. Overall Sizzling Fresh Mongolian BBQ is a solid spot to eat to your hearts desire! read more

The service was terrible all the way around. The lady working the counter was rude, the cooks were ride and nobody ever came to check on us. The Rice and egg rolls were served cold. The environment is not welcoming. I would recommend finding somewhere else to eat!! read more

The ingredients are fresh and are of a wide variety. They don't overcook the bowl as other places do. All that is added during cooking is water. No crab Rangoon. Rice , wanton cracker and spring roll. Not the best layout for the soda fountain. But all in all, very good. You will be happy read more

I'm not sure why this place isn't rated higher. I remember back in the day it would always be packed. We went on a weeknight and it was kind of slow. It was sad because their food is really good and fresh. People complaining that it's too expensive? It's all you can eat. A burger meal will cost you about this much now. I made a bowl with beef, a ton of noodles and their spicy sauce. It was super flavorful. My husband had two bowls and our one year old son absolutely loved the noodles. Everyone was super friendly too. read more

I ordered 3 bowls to go and asked for 6 to go cups for the teriyaki and spicy sauce since we weren't staying at the restaurant. That was a huge mistake as the lady was rude and said we can only have 3. She appeared as if I asked for the most egregious thing possible. Me asking for 6 tiny size to go cups was apparently just asking for too much. Now when I approach the lady I was polite with a please and thank you. She told me no and that I would have to add the 2nd sauce to the food. Now that made no sense as I would be adding more sauce to the food than if I would have just used the to go cup as I asked for. Now I just paid almost 50 dollars there and I couldn't get 3 extra cups. I mean I would have went to Walmart and bought extra cups if they needed them that bad. As I was leaving I did ask if the policy was posted anywhere and she said no very abruptly. So is it a restaurant policy or did she not want to get up to get me cups or she just didn't want to give me the cups personally. I would have paid for the extra cups if it was a posted restaurant policy. May that rude lady have the day she deserves. I will not be going back there. I rather travel to Roseville and get my Mongolian next time. It's too bad that they have rude people working there as they are already pricey read more

They got new management or cooks but they flood your food with water and then don't cook it high enough to where the food actually cooks with the sauces you put in the bowl. Just as hot inside as outside on 90 degree day. read more

Food Is Always Superb. I have never had a bad experience in this place. I'm simple & typically stick with the noodles, Beef and a bunch of sauces that make my bowl deliciously spicy with a handful of peanuts for the extra protein the vibes the place are chill, vibey with a dash of diversity. The service was Great. Simple. How it should be. read more

I mean it's not bad, just a run of the mill place. Decent quality, decent cleanness. (Minus the bug in the sugar water) But why are the cooks always so pissed off? Never acknowledging you, toss plates on the counter. Part of the coolness is them cooking it, I think it should be part of the fun. Super expensive 17.75 for dinner and $4 for a soda. Steep in my book especially for just basic no frills Mongolian read more

It's my first time to dine here. It's a make your own bowl and the taste will depend on how good you make your sauce. They have a suggested amount of scoops per sauce to blend but mine still turned out a little bitter for my taste. I'm not sure if it's the cooking wine. They also only have one type of noodles which are thick noodles so your bowl will fill up fast. The service was fast though. The place was clean, quiet and not packed on a weekday lunch time. read more

An average Mongolian BBQ place The price is a little high. I don't like the fact that even though it's all-you-can-eat, every time you want more food, you have to go back to the cash register to ask them for a new bowl. It feels awkward, like you have to ask them for permission to get more food, even though you paid full-price for all-you-can-eat They give you an egg roll and some rice to begin with. Those taste pretty good. The kinds of food you can choose for BBQ is ok. Mostly beef, sheep, chicken, and various veggies. I kind of wish they served soup, like egg-drop soup. There is a cinema next door. In the evening, folks with families would usually eat a meal here before going next door to the movies. So around night-time, they get a lot of customers. The inside renovation is nice. Clean. Staff is friendly. Overall, an OK place for mongolian BBQ read more

It's been a few years since I've been back here. The ayce food was fresh and good...the place was clean and staff was pleasant!

Food was good, great selection of veggies and sauces. Each of us was brought an additional little bowl of rice and an egg roll, which was a yummy surprise. The staff was very attentive and polite. Reasonably priced. Brought a 2 year old and staff brought an extra order of rice and egg roll voluntarily, which was really appreciated. read more

Sizzle sizzle goes the food on the hot surface. The process is easy, walk in go to register decide on eat in or togo. Then walk over and choose your goodies. From many veggies to 4 proteins(beef, Turkey, chicken or pork) all are sliced thin on proteins. But at the end of the line before you get to the people manning the hot top they do have some tofu for a 5th protein. After the proteins you goto the veggie section. So many to choose from. If your on the all you can eat, dont worry about filling the bowl, get what you want and go again. Unless your on the lunch 1x bowl then break out your tetris skills and stack it up. Then once done stacking and packing now comes the liquids. They have a bunch of them, from house sauce, hot sauce, teriyaki, ginger water, sugar water, wine and I think a few others. Then top it off with cilantro, garlic, chestnuts, pinepalle, or tofu. Then it goes to the the chef. He does it walk around a few times with the food as he turns the food over and over with these huge chopsticks as my kids call it. If you didn't add enough liquids to your bowl they add on water to help steam and move the cooking process along. Then he slides the bowl to you and then you can give it the final toppings, peanuts, sriracha, and/or sesame seeds. Now for a few pro tips. If you go with noodles kinda look at the grill real quick. If there is a huge line and it looks a bit cooked on from all the other food the noodles will come out a bit darker with that cooked flavor. Not to yummy personally. But when the lines is gone they do a quick clean, turn the heat up, toss water on and scrape it off. If you happen to go after this the food tastes so good and noodles are lightly colored. My 1st bowl was before the cleaning, But my 2nd bowl was on that fresh cleaned one and made a huge difference. 2nd tip, they watch everyone and will call you on stuff. Seen people take a water cup which they give you clear and get soda and talked to quickly.(soda cups are the red ones) Or if you bought a lunch 1x bowl and didnt order AYCE but yet somehow get back in line for another round. They now handout the bowls to you at the table once your done eating it, if you don't wait for them you can go up to them but they will ask what table and then bring it to you, so they can make sure also. They have changed things since many people tried to get buy on a few items. read more

This establishment is no longer letting people go back for seconds after paying for a bowl (14.25, plus tax). I witnessed some patrons "piling" up the food in the bowl like they haven't eaten in a month. All I'm going to say is, be thoughtful people. Just because it's one trip through the line, if you were that hungry and could actually finish all the food you piled in your bowl in the first place, you should've gone to an all you can eat place instead. I'm no skinny Minnie but, one average size filled bowl filled me up! The restaurant has cut down on the various topping that they offered before the pandemic. They have basic ingredients only. This place is only "ok" in my opinion if you are getting hangry and need food right away so you don't turn into a beast. Haha!! read more
