Awesome Mongolian restaurant! Our first time here, I wish there was one back home like this. Small restaurant, but they pack it in with fresh ingredients and many options. We were immediately greeted, seated, and informed about the menu. They had a great deal before 7 pm- all you can eat buffet, drink, and dessert for 25 euros each! Boom, that's what we went for. Great fresh selection of meats, veggies, and seafood. Items were constantly getting replenished while waiting in line for food to be cooked. What I loved, that I have never seen at other Mongolian restaurants, is that they have a select your own spice(es) area. Thereafter, add your sauces to your dish. Many options to choose from. Even after your dish is cooked, there were sauces, peanuts, or spicy sauce to top with. For dessert we were offered the warm chocolate cake and the banoffee. Both deelish! Fresh ingredients, great service! I think we rolled outta there, tummys happy : D read more

Good selections, sauces were limited compared to other places but still good Service was great- they filled drinks and gave us more rice as needed read more

This is an alll you can eat restaurant, the atmosphere is not bad, it's actually a little nice and calm place. The service is good. The food is good too, you pick the items you like and want cooked by filling up a bowl of raw foods, then you give it to the check to cook for you. It's a bit pricy for dinner (~€30 pp). But still a good experience. I recommend it read more

Not Mongolian food at all! Mongolians eat lamb and beef many different ways... The utencils looked really dirty, place is busy, not sure why. The food is just dirty,sorry, just being honest... Please stop giving wrong impression about Mongolian food! read more

Meat options were just pork or chicken. However, vegetarians will love all the non-meat options. Pile two bowls full of ingredients, load up on sauce and give it to the chef. Food was delicious and filling. The service staff here were the friendliest we encountered during our entire stay in Ireland. 1 trip to the buffet costs 10 euros Unlimited trips costs 16 euros read more

Great food here! To some extent you choose what you want so it is on you to enjoy the food, but they offer suggestions to create a more cohesive dish with the best flavors. There are many spices, meats, sauces, and veggies to choose from. The servers and cooks were very kind and knowledgeable. Prices were very reasonable and it was a great experience to have in Dublin- especially if you are unfamiliar with Mongolian BBQ. read more

The Mongolian Barbeque - Mongolian Near Me - Dublin, D

Lunch Review: Great establishment around Trinity College neighborhood. This place serves either one bowl of stir fry or unlimited. The concept is simple: you just pick the ingredients (noodles, veggies, sauce and spices) and place them in the bowl from the food bar. Then you pick your meat from one of the bowls and hand it to the grill person. They will mix everything and cook your fish for you as you like it. You probably just need one bowl because when you get back to your table you will find a bowl of plain steamed rice which you can add to your now prepped bowl for more food. Customer service: spectacular and helpful. My creation tastes good and the whole experience was wonderful. read more

I found his place on Yelp after doing a walking tour and the Irish whiskey museum. This was in walking distance of the Irish Whiskey museum so we decided to go there. I already knew what to expect when we got here based on the pictures on Yelp. Its a place where you go to the buffet bar and you fill your bowl with starch, veggies, protein, then sauces and seasonings. Then you take it to the big open wok where they cook it in front of you and when its done cooking, they plate it for you. The choices for noodles, veggies, and protein was more than adequate and what you would get in the states. Where this place gets it pretty good is the sauces and seasonings you can mix in with it. I went back at least 4 times and made four different flavor bowls. All tasted amazing each time. Pricing is really the best part honestly. Depends what time you go during the day, it's cheaper. It was honestly the best value amazing tasting food I got during my whole trip in Ireland. I'll be back here here for sure. read more

Im a pretty big fan of this place. Very cheap and pretty decent grub thats all you can eat. Lots of good stuff to choose, from meat to veggies to spices to sauce. i do wish their bowls were a little bigger i usually have to use two. The food tastes super fresh because its cooked right in front of you but at the same time you do have to wait around for it to be cooked. The rice they give you with your meal is very bland, i love the little sweets they give you with your receipt. read more

The Mongolian Barbeque - meat and noodles - Mongolian Near Me - Dublin, D

Cheep grub, I'm definitely a fan! So, for 5 Euro you get a trip to the bar, and a bowl of steamed rice. I cheekily asked for a second bowl and I got one for free which was cool. Here's a tip - get two bowls, and use the second one to push down food into your first one so you can hold more food. I'd be really interested to see how much money they make, it's a interesting business model. read more

Like all barbeques this is a great place to get all your mates out for a big happy meal together. You choose the ingredients and hand them to cooks who mash it all up together on the grill. It's lovely and a bit of craic as the all-you-can-eat cycle of queing, chewing and queueing again force people to mingle a bit more. You find yourself changing seats and moving around the table in a very natural way, which is great because you get talking to everyone. A word of advice, ration the rice. This is for two reasons. Firstly; you only get one bowl, and as you become a bit more adventurous with the spices you'll need something to take the edge off. Secondly; it's alliteration, you can't argue with alliteration. read more

The Monglian BBQ describes itself as a 'interactive eating experience.' which sounds a bit well, arsey, but the place is actually a lovely spot. Although the Mongolian barbecue concept is big in North America and I'm guessing Mongloia also?It's relatively newish to Ireland. It's a grab a bowl and create your own dish kinda place. Basically you pick your food , meat, tofu and veggies before hand and then hand it over to one of their 'grillers' who cook it up on a giant circular barbque which forms part of the restaurant. The staff are really friendly and let us 'cook' our food for a bit when we were there. Don't worry if your veggie as they can cook tofu on the barbie and vegetarians get a free starter. Besides being in a bit of a quiet part of Temple Bar its a great night out and makes a change from just sitting waiting for you food. Very popular with groups, which they are happy to accommodate even on Mon/Tue when normally closed, booking required for this. They also have an early bird: Wednesday - Friday 6pm - 7pm, Saturday and Sunday 4.30pm-6.30pm read more

The Mongolian Barbeque - from website - Mongolian Near Me - Dublin, D

Cheap and simple, this sums up the Mongolian Bbq. There's a buffet with an assortment of vegetables, noodles, some sauces and spices and some meats and shrimps. And then it's up to you to fill your little bowl up as much as you like or you phisically can - you only have one go, so you need to get it right the first time. I've been instructed that the best way to get value for your money is starting with the vegetables on the bottom of the bowl, press them a bit, add some more until it's filed to the top, press a bit more, add the sauces and spices and only at the end throw the noodles on top. You can then pick one of the small bowls with protein and add some more sauce and spices to it. Present your mighty creations to the cook manning the bbq and watch while they're prepared for you. On your table you'll have plenty of rice - yes, noodles and rice - and water. That's a filling and inexpensive lunch right there for 5.90€. It won't be your best experience ever with "asian" food - notice the inverted commas there - but it's also not too shabby. At least you get to choose what you want going into your plate and you can only blame yourself if the flavour combination is disastrous. That being said, the sauces are probably the lowest point of the whole experience, super watery. The room is not very well lit and the staff has that nice-enough attitude that, while it won't make you want to never go back, doesn't really warm your heart either. read more

This place was the perfect quick stop for lunch. They have a great lunch special if oyu want to enjoy Mongolian BBQ but not eat a whole bunch. You can get one bowl for around €9. They have a few diferent noodles to choose from and plenty of toppign ingredients. The besdt part is you can customize your spices and sauces from the food bar area. The staff was very friendly and explained the procedures in their place very well. The server (I beleive was the manager) was very communicative the enitre time and made our visit very plesaent. Definite reccomendation in Dublin. read more

If you love meat, this place is for you! for a dinner deal at 16.99 for all you can eat, it was actually not bad at all. They also have different types of sauces and spices to go with your food as well! read more

Mongolian Barbecue is a restaurant that's neither Mongolian nor barbecue. It's all-you-can-eat whose price depends on the time of day (we were there at 6:30 and btw 4-7 it's €13,90 for the buffet. You grab some noodles, vegetables, protein, marinades, and spices and put them all in a bowl and hand them over to the guys at the flattop grill. They pour it out and cook it by moving down the line as they remove previous orders that are ready to be eaten. I recommend starting small that way you can adjust your seasonings to build something better in round 2. I made the mistake of getting too much and didn't get up for more food but luckily my first batch wasn't bad. The only mistake I made was to just get noodles; they bring a bowl of rice to your table and if you just make the veg and protein with lots of marinade, you can dump it over your rice. They definitely get special points for creativity (if the food is bad, it's all YOUR fault) and price because a potentially massive meal at under €14 isn't bad. The only problem I can foresee is that people with food allergies and cross-contamination issues definitely can't eat here as everyone's food (meat, seafood, spices, etc) is cooked on the same grill and slid over so you're getting everyone else's flavors. read more

Lovely place. We noticed it while walking past. It appears small and quaint but it's actually rather spacious and fun! Enough to support a buffet station to the right side. There's plenty of tables in the back as well as the front and the staff here is so friendly. We have Mongolian BBQ back home but we immensely appreciated the fresh meat as opposed to frozen slices. It makes a huge difference in the quality. They also have many options for flavor. We're not used to that much in options. An awesome find! So glad we came! read more

We ended up here by chance - our airbnb was upstairs from it and we had a slight miscommunication with our host. The owner and the staff were incredibly kind to us during our time of frustration. We ended up eating dinner here and were not disappointed. An all you can eat noodle joint? We fell in LOVE. I won't tell you how many times I went back for seconds because it's embarrassing but honestly, how could I not? The noodles were jam packed with flavor. We will definitely return when we go back to Dublin. o read more

Based on the solid yelp reviews and the affordable price point, DH and I decided to stop in for lunch on our first day in Dublin - and we made it a point to return prior to leaving Ireland - it was THAT good! Seriously though, 6.90 for a lunch bowl that you can fill until its overflowing, is an amazing deal for a delicious and filling lunch! We had to laugh at ourselves though because during our first visit, we barely filled our bowls half way - then realized our mistake after looking around and seeing other patrons piling their bowls miles high with noodles, veggies, meat, spices and sauce - we definitely made up for our rookie mistake on our 2nd visit! It's a small little restaurant (I wouldn't recommend coming with any more than 4 in a group) but I would highly recommend this place if you're looking for a wallet and tummy friendly lunch option while in Dublin! read more

Really good Asian Food and beautiful Cheese Cake!!! Very nice really worth it!! Possibility to combine your main course with any kind of sauce, spice and choosing ingredients (kind of noodle, meat and fish)!! Very gentle staff!!! read more

"10% Service Charge will be added to tables of 6 or more." That's a joke, right? You expect me to get up, queue, prepare my own meal, stand around while it heats up and ferry it back to my table, all the while demanding me to pay an extra ten percent for the privilege of you sitting on your ass and ignoring me? Sure thing, buster. read more

If you're a student looking for a good deal on food, dine at Mongolian BBQ. This review is for everyone else! This is a really hard place to recommend. I'd never been to a Mongolian buffet style restaurant before. The closest comparison would be Jimmy Chungs, in so much as its a buffet and its greasy. But i went along because a mate was having a birthday gathering there. Most people will go for the unlimited food and the cheap price, but prepare yourself for cramped seating that's hard to get into and out of, and long, slow queues for the food. It's like dining on an airplane! Now, i'm not the best person to review the food, because it's not the kind of food for which i'm willing to crawl across hot coals, but bearing in mind how ignorant i am of this type of cuisine, it was sup-par. Check Chef Nomad's review for the best summary of the options available...it maybe a buffet and good value, but the food is far from spectacular. It's a place that you leave burping and feeling guilty, and your arse becomes very friendly with the toilet bowl the next morning. I want to leave a restaurant feeling satisfied, not wanting more, with a pleasant aftertaste, and an hour later, i'm ready for some coffee and pie or summut. This is the type of place that you leave pledging that you shant be eating again for another 2 days, but you do anyway..so it's double the guilt. No ta!!! read more

Before I write anything else, I want to say that The Mongolian Barbeque is great value for money! The way it works: you grab a bowl and go up to the buffet area, select the various vegetables, noodles, meat etc that you want for your meal, season the meat with spices of your choice (and there really is a lot of choice), then choose a sauce for your bowl (there's even more choice here), and off you go to the barbeque man who wields two huge sticks with which he cooks your food on a large barbeque as you wait. Ultimately, because you are responsible for choosing ingredients, and most importantly the spice and sauce combination you want, there's some cause for stating that it's only your own fault if it tastes bad. But really, even the meat tasted fresh and there's a kind of novelty in seeing your food cooked there and then. One criticism would be that it's not very clear at first how the system works when you get there... Maybe there should be a member of table staff who explains how the system works before you go up to create your meal! Otherwise, great value for money, and a good quick way of grabbing lunch in Dublin. I'll be back. read more

A good bargain for a whole lot of food if you can manage to come in for lunch or the early bird hours. I missed both of these deals and ended up paying the full fare for the dinner buffet. Still a pretty good deal considering the amount of food that you can get--which is as much as you can stuff yourself with, but the overall experience was nothing to shout about. As much of a glutton as I might be, I couldn't eat more than two bowls from here. There's something wonky about how the food cooks on the giant flat top. The noodles and meat become extremely dry while the veggies hardy even cook. My onions and some of the other veggies still had a crunch to them while my meats turned into jerky! I thought that this was because I didn't sauce my first bowl up enough, but even after drenching my second bowl in ladles of sauce, no bueno. Perhaps it's just my experience, but I also didn't like how the chef ended up cutting the noodles in my bowl into 1 inch lengths while cooking. The staff is pretty meh too, not unfriendly but I wouldn't go so far as to say that the service here is good. We came in early to a relatively empty restaurant and were still between two groups which made for very cramped tables! I could barely squeeze back into my seat without making a spectacle, and this is coming from a small girl! On this plus side, there's a whole lot of variety to choose from on the food line. Lots of selections of veggies and meats to mix and match and customize your meal to your favorite tastes. The sauce and seasoning bar is especially impressive, with over a dozen offerings and tons of possible unique and tasty combinations. For €15 for dinner, 3 stars. At lunch prices, I'd give it a 4. read more

Friendly staff, cheap as hell, full control over your meal's taste, what more could you possibly ask for? As a student, this is the kind of eating establishment that I LIVE for. I go here almost three times a week for the lunch special, and I've zero regrets. Go here now if you haven't already, you'll have a great time. read more

This place is the stuff foodie dreams are made of. You come in and choose all the toppings you can think of. I choose noodles, mushrooms, onions and a few others. Then you move on to choose your meat- the chicken and pork was seasoned and cooked well. Last you add spice and sauces before handing you creation to the chef. The chef then stir fries the ingredients. Everything was crispy without being overdone. I could eat here everyday. The best part is the price!! It was €6.90 for one bowl. €13 for all you can eat. It's safe to say I was full AF from the lunch bowl and couldn't make it to the buffet. It was the cheapest, quality lunch ever. read more

If you're looking for something that is not super heavy Irish food, give mongolian BBQ a try! On a trip around Ireland last summer, my roommate and I decided it was time to put the beef stew and Shepherd's Pie to the side, and find something more like what we eat at home. Enter the Mongolian Barbecue! They have a happy hour which is SUPER reasonably priced and then their regular fare is alright priced. If you've never had MBBQ before, you choose your meal by adding veggies and other accouterments to your choice of meat--then go for the spices and sauces and hand your culinary creation to the chef to be cooked up the Mongolian way! Enjoy and head back for round two if you're having the "all you can eat" style! Enjoy! read more

Fresh ingredients and a large variety of sauces and spices for a make your own Mongolian BBQ You literally pick what you want and have the cook prepare it for you right in front of you. The guest can either load up in one bowl for I think 6,90€ or can enjoy an all you can eat buffet for 13,90€ both prices include water and steamed rice! I loved it here and thought I really got my money's worth read more

My first time, so I didn't know what to expect. You'll be greeted with a smile at the door, grab a seat and order drinks. Walk up to the buffet bar and lob meat, veg, spices and sauce into a bowl and the chef fries it all up while you wait. Excellent for kids too, you can really get creative! Toilets downstairs could have done with a working handdryer and some air freshner. Friendly staff, fresh ingredients, clean and truly enjoyable and deffo not overpriced like many other Temple Bar restaurants. read more

I really like the concept, and the food was good, but I have to say it's not really my sort of thing. You have a buffet of uncooked meats and lots of vegetables and sauces. You put it all in a bowl, and then they cook it for you in front of you. The food is cheap, and it is cooked quickly and you will likely eat a lot. However, I must say that while watching them make the food, I also got to see that 1) They use the same big knives for everything. Meaning if you have allergies or don't eat a certain type of meat or are vegetarian, your food is definitely contaminated. 2) You can see around the grill and quite honestly, there's a place where they drop all the waste around it and it looks really gross. So, nice experience, but not coming back. read more

Was ok. Missing flavour. Hard to get enough vegetables in the small bowls. Meet was a medium quality. The best part of my meal was the taffy that came with the check. read more

Cheap and tasty! If you go between 11:30 and 4pm the lunch is 5.90€. You have to pick a bowl and put a lot of stuff on it with noodles and pick some type of meat. They cook it and serve it with rice. An excellent price-amount-taste ratio! read more

LOVE THIS PLACE! Been to Mongolian Barbeque on numerous occasions. If you are a broke student like myself you will appreciate good, relatively healthy inexpensive food in the city centre area! For those who haven't been you have a buffet of ingredients ranging from sauces, meats, veg and spices to choose from and upon deciding you hand these to someone who cooks it in a few minutes while you wait and there are also a number of sauces available afterwards. Furthermore the added complimentary rice and water makes the meal more cost efficient for those who are looking for an affordable bit of grub! For the price of €5.90 for lunch you can't go wrong!! Added to this are the lovely staff and nice atmosphere along with the easy to get to location (temple bar). read more

For Lunch it's a must at €5 a bowl with rice...boom. The best thing is you can't complain about it because you made it from scratch, veg, meat, spices, sauces...you have done it all. It's awesome. Also it is a great spot for hitting up food with friends. All you can eat really is the best choice at Dinner, beers food and banter. This place has it all for me read more

What a pleasant surprise. After eating pub food for 8 days, we wanted something fresh and more in the "vegetable" category. We happened upon this place across from our hotel. It wasn't crowded, the staff was nice, and the food was pretty good. Lots of fresh food to grill up on their flat-top. You pick your ingredients and sauces and they grill them for you. We hit it about 6:00 which entitled us to the early bird special (~12 Euro per person) which I thought was a very good price (considering it was only 1-2 Euro more than a burger somewhere). read more

This restaurant is a backpackers dream (located near a load of hostels) and overall a local gem. For 5 Euro, you get a full lunch, a smile and easy self serve. Also can grab an early bird dinner, for all of 12 Euro. I have always found this restaurant to be clean, have friendly staff and overall be a hit. The prices are reasonable, especially for the Temple Bar area. Plus, it's a great alternative to Pub food. How's the food? Given you basically put it all together yourself, it's pretty much up to you. You pick the meat/protein, veg, sauce, spice combo and they grill it up for you. Pretty cut and dry. I'm a huge fan of this establishment, as are my friends...swing by and grab a meal soon! read more

If you are looking for a cheap bowl of noodles and you are not too critical about Asian food, by all means, go. If you want a good taste of Asia, skip it. The formula could be good, but they have compromised way too much on taste. The herbs and sauces make the dish. The available herbs they put out for you to add to your dish are very artificial. The sauces, green curry, peanut sauce, red curry, sweet chilly and a bunch of others, are so watered down, that they lost all taste. Don't bother to pick because they all taste the same. The staff is not unfriendly, but that's where the buck stops. They lack friendliness and personality, just like their food lacks taste. I'm sorry I couldn't give it a better review, because I do believe in the formula they put out there. It just needs a bit of work, to make it work. read more

This place is fantastic and affordable. For approx 13Eur, you can get a fully-customizable all you can eat buffet. After you are seated, you're directed to grab a bowl from the buffet and fill it with noodles, vegetables, sauces, seasonings, and meat. Once you're satisfied with your bowl, you take it over to the chefs who cook it on a giant grill while you wait. This was an excellent date night - you can make the bowls salty/sweet/spicy/savory etc and change it up every time you return! The husband and I had 2 bowls each and I honestly don't think I could have had another bite. We recommend this spot to all of our friends! read more

The Mongolian Barbque is a great place to head for a party. Grab your bowl, pick your raw meat, veggies, spices, fish, herbs, beans, nuts, sauces etc, present them to chef and watch as he sizzles it all up in front of you. The experience is interactive, fun and encourages much diner to diner consultation, "what are you going for? Hmmm... maybe I'll add that too". Vegetarians can opt for tofu rather than meat and they're even offered a free starter! Woohoo. Although it's 'all you can eat' buffet style, it doesn't feel like a tacky food court lunch but an enjoyable evening meal. Dim lighting and simple yet classy furniture add to the ambience. It's lively and atmospheric. At €23.99 for the dinner menu, it's pricey enough but worth it for a special occasion. The only reason not to go is if you harbour a fundamental hatred of Mongolian food! read more
