BD’s Mongolian Grill

DO NOT GO HERE IF YOU HAVE DIETARY RESTRICTIONS! If you order a create your own stir fry bowl, they cook your bowl on the same heat surface without cleaning. Also, the salad bar and veggie bar are filthy. Never coming back.

Always a good time, always good food and fun.
If you have never been here do yourself a favor and
GO NOW!
What it is is a buffet of raw fresh foods.
1 get a bowl.
2 fill it with whatever you want to.
3 fill a different bowl with sauce.
4 bring it to the grill.
5 enjoy the show.
6 eat that delicious food.
Grea soup and salad bar too.
My suggestion is to interact, that’s how the fun happens. Interact with the server, interact with the cooks, interact with the person next to you at the grill, hell even interact with the table next to you. Just have fun. If you’re not having fun, I’m thinking you mighy just be the problem.
Great atmosphere!!!
Every time we go we have a ball. Tonight Chris and Chistian were manning the swords and they were very entertaining.
Tip them! Don’t be cheap.
I love it. Go tonight.

I think the star description sums it up perfectly. When they need to use a Coke freestyle machine as a highlight it’s trouble. I was there a year ago and it was better.
The ribeye was so tough and others eating with us said the meats all were tough. Others have commented how things get mixed with others but I take mine to the allergy zone as I have a seafood allergy so I avoid the cross contanimation.
I’d give the food 1 star, fried oreos 4 stars and service 3 stars and average out at 2 stars.

The food was really good and I really like that they Grill the vegetarian stuff on a different Skillet which was really nice of them. And our waitress I think was new because we were 4 people and that she only really brought three spoons or two spoons and then we had to go look for like some other silverware somewhere else but it’s okay she is really nice and of course we left a good tip because she’s trying so that was good. The food was really good I don’t know what we made because we make so many different sauces together but there has to be garlic in the food otherwise I don’t see much of it tasting that good. Luckily my cousin knew what he was doing.

I love this place. All of the food is fresh and its always a fun experience. Have been coming here for years.

Usually, this place is pretty good. Admittedly, I haven’t been here in a while. I tried a Thai peanut sauce, with peanuts on top and my food came back completely burnt. My food is usually on the browner side, because I don’t get much meat, but tonight, it was just gross. Also, prices have jumped! $ 17 for an unlimited bowl! Sheesh! Normally, I’d pay it, ugh tonight no. I’ll update again when I have something good to say.

We met some friends here and 1^st issue was after they checked out at the bar the bartender said to charge another drink that she forgot to charge (they never told us this). She had the receipt that she already paid– who just adds a drink on your tab and not tell them? 2^nd one of the menu items were disgusting. Sent it back to be remade, came out worse so we just dealt with it. The drink had 0 liquor! Was so sick of it at this point decided to leave Flattop grill was so much better and the servers are better trained.

Our family loves eating here. They are always friendly and all of the employees have a positive energy about them which makes for a Great atmosphere! Exceptional employee (our family favorite) JACKIE! She always checks on our table even if she isn’t waiting on us. I always ask for her to make my food because it’s perfect every time. She is an awesome Manager. The food is always delicious. We dine here at least once a month and would recommend this restaurant to all.

I like it but the place is really tiny and the way the tables are lined up to one another is a bit illogical in my opinion. Booths are very limited so you either sit in a walk way or a table 2 inches from another table with screaming children. Also on my last visit I felt the people on the grill were getting carried away with flipping the skewers around. One cook burned himself flipping the long skewer and on another pieces of food were flying off into the area where people are waiting with their bowls.
I try to go at off peak hours otherwise it just gets too crowded.

I ordered something off the regular menu (I didn’t put the dish together myself), and it was very bland and unimpressive. I’ll definitely never go back.

While I still stand by my original review that is now two years old, with changes at the restaurant in organization and service it requires noting.
Mongolian Grill has created a fairly full menu. Mostly their intention is to raise the average check by pushing appetizers and desserts. And when you pay for an appetizer and eat it before you hit the grill, then you eat less at the grill saving the restaurant money while you just spent more. Genius for BD’s. I can’t fault them for a wise business move so no deduction of stars.
Beer and drink selections have expanded to include more local and seasonal offerings. This seems par for mid level restaurants.
The soup and salad bar is often problematic. Out of soup bowls, soups or chili with thick dried skin on top, watered down soups with more spices tossed in to try and compensate, salad ingredient crossover that makes it unappetizing, or a messy station with spilled soups or salad ingredients and dressings all over.
The selection of grill ingredients has increased over the last couple years to include pastas, seasonal meats (like lamb for Easter), marinated meats, and fake «meats» for vegetarians. While veggies were once limited to seven or eight they now offer at least fourteen on most days. Sauces and spices haven’t changed much and the offering is adequate. What bothers me is that the sauce ladles are always sticky. I’d rather not need the wet naps before I even start eating.
The grilling has changed a bit. They now squeeze 12 customers in to the grill at once. This pretty much guarantees some grill crossover. I almost always end up with scallops in my beef bowl. While I can pick out baby corn or tofu it’s hard to locate the scallops. I often use the «Allergy Station» to avoid the grill crossover and have by bowl made in an individual fry pan.
I do have to admit that the desserts are pretty damn good. The deep fried Oreo’s are to die for but they’re very rich and an order should really be split with your friends. The dessert shooters (shot glass sized tastings) are a good idea for just $ 1.00 to cap off your meal.
For the poor soup and salad bar showing, sticky ladles in the sauce section, and grill crossover, I need to deduct one star at this time. Some more attention to quality will get them back to five stars.

worth 3.5 stars…
I usually only end up going there for Lunch (when there are pricing discounts during the summer or other times during different seasons)
The wait staff is usually friendly though generally VERY absent minded. They just seem to be walking around in a cloud. They either forget you entirely or bring you wrongly ordered beverages or sides.
I had MUCH higher hopes as I usually like cook top buffets and it is really close to home.

I don’t come here often but when I come back I always wonder to myself why I haven’t been back sooner. The quality of the food is good. If you get a bad dish it’s your fault because you choice the ingredients. The variety of choices to make your stir fry is relatively great. I also like the different sides such as lettuce wraps, white or brown rice and tortillas. This is a great place to go if your looking to throw down for eating and it won’t break the bank.

We went to support my daughter’s school. Next time we will just make a donation, the food and service was horrible! We did not order the create your own, but rather something off the menu. My husband had Pad Tai and I had sweet and sour chicken, they came out at different times. My dish had zero flavor, even the pineapple was bland! The kids meals came out decently quick, but we’re not very edible looking.
Our server was so unattentive, when we asked for kids menus she mentioned they were out. The table next to us had them and they say AFTER we did. She never went to check or offered to get some, finally my husband went up front and grabbed a couple. Getting extra napkins took 5 min, getting anything took ridiculously long.
Bottom line, the food was not good and the service was worse.
I will definitely not be back.

My mother in law loves this place. I love hitting the gong LOL! The service is pretty good it’s just a fast paced environment. The food is always fresh and it’s great to pick your own food and toppings. The salad bar is ok. I wish they had more toppings

The concept here is o.k., but if my 11 and 13 year old son’s didn’t like the ability to create their own stir fry, I wouldn’t go here. It’s not cheap either-​they do have deals on line if you join their frequent diner club, so those can help.
The meat/​seafood is frozen, so can be chewy from time-​to-​time, and the produce is o.k. Spices and sauces are fine. Salad bar is alright, they have one good soup-​tomato parmesan-​which I seem to miss on most visits.
The stir fry itself is o.k., but cooking everything on top of each other results in losing some of the flavor you expect from what your bowl contained and adding others from the neighboring customer-​eggs and random meats/​seafood that I didn’t put in my bowl.

Staff was friendly. Service was quick. Everything was sticky and it was like it had been sticky for awhile. The highchair. The table. The floor by our table was like some terrifying germaphobe obstacle course– one misstep and you risk your sandal sticking, causing your toes to slide and dangle precariously over the edge.
Back in the day I was a pro at stacking that little bowl like it was a tasty Jenga. I’m out of practice so my plate was small but it was satisfying. I’ll be back. I’ll probably wear sturdier shoes.

One of the cooks (young caucasian) working the grill turned his back while cooking and sneezed then turned back around and continued cooking. I asked him, you aren’t going to wash your hands? He said I turned around. He was offended. Sir you are cooking food and there is a sink in your area. Nasty.

Went here the first time about a week ago. I had no idea what it entailed but my friends had recommended it and said it was a pretty decent place to get some noodle dishes (that you could customize yourself!).
The basic layout is buffet-​style selection of the items that you want to have grilled. You pick a bowlful of whatever you would like with noodles or just veggies or meat and bring it to the cooks, they grill it, throw on a sauce if you have one, and that is it. I got the unlimited bowls and was only able to eat two, but for $ 17 it was a more food than I needed.
The quality of all of the ingredients they have available is very good. There is a wide variety of vegetables to choose from, most of which you’d expect in a stir fry or thai noodle dish. There are also a good amount of different meats available (steak, different marinated chicken, fish, shrimp, etc.). The meat was good as well, so no complaints there.
Overall, would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a good noodle dish that they can completely customize. It’s fun to figure out the right combinations of veggies and meat to get the best tasting dish. If I go back (which I most likely will), I will definitely be more smaller bowls so I can try more combinations.

BD’s exceeded my expectations. They’ve got a cool concept going here, like Chipotle, a buffet, and a hot grill had a baby.
I filled my bowl twice. The options are endless: rice, various types of noodles; chicken, two types of steak, scallops, shrimp, crab, tofu; veggies like water chestnuts, bean sprouts, pea pods, broccoli, carrots, and red and green peppers; other toppings like eggs which they will fry for you. It doesn’t stop there — add sauce like Buffalo, Thai Peanut, Kung Pao, Szechuan — I think there were about 10 sauces that ranged from sweet & mild, medium, and hot. If you still have room in your creative mind, there are seasonings and spices to be added as well.
Pile food into your bowl, and they cook it right in front of you.
You can fill your bowl as many times as you want, with as much or as little ingredients added. The scallops and steak were, surprisingly, cooked well. I expected the proteins to be overdone.
When you include the soup & salad bar with the bowl buffet, it’s about $ 16/​person. I only had the tomato soup and later some candied pecans from the soup & salad bar, so I probably wouldn’t do the «add-​on» part again. I think the unlimited bowl option only is around $ 11.
I washed it all down with a fabulous $ 6 cocktail from their menu called the «Orange Dragon,» a super sweet concoction of blood orange and Dragon Berry rum.
