Hi Ho Mongolian Grill

What happened to this place? Dirty sloppy food bar while the staff is just lounging around the place watching TV. One was actually laying down in a booth. It’s Mongolian grill, so if you screw it up its your problem, but the food is typical fare which isn’t bad. Just kind of a scary presentation. I shutter to think what is in the back outside of customer’s eyes.

If you enjoy good Asian food prepared in front of you and you like many choices, Hi Ho is the place for you. I come here often.

Of the types of Mongolian places like this, I love it. It’s one of my favorite places to go, and I’ve been coming here for almost 10 years. It’s a buffet line where you choose your ingredients and then add your sauces, then they cook it down. I’ve been to create-​your-​own stir fry places and it’s not the same.
I am taking off one star because another reviewer commented about being overcharged for take out, because I think I’ve experienced the same (although… if I get the Barbarian, and it fits into one container, then that’s a problem, because it’s twice as the small bowl). Also, I think my upcharge was like $ 1. But still, principle.
Here’s what I do for the sauces, just as a fwiw — I start with their «recommendation» for the size I’m using, and then add to it. Depending on what I add to it, affects how it tastes, and I’ve never been unhappy with how my food has come out. Also, an important consideration for me is food that still tastes good reheated — in some cases I think Mongolian Grill tastes better reheated!
Because of the nature of the restaurant, it cross-​contamination would be a problem due to allergies, or dietary restrictions, then you’d probably want to avoid places like this in general (in my opinion).

This place has severely gone down hill since it opened. The prices have nearly doubled, and the food has gotten worse. On top of that they will up charge you 100% of the time if you get food to go. They claim that you «overstuff» your bowl if it doesn’t fit in one to-​go container. It has happened to me the last 5 times I’ve been there even though I make sure to only get the amount designated for the bowl size I’m choosing.
The food itself it’s not terrible… But the sauces constantly get cross-​contaminated and so does the food. This is especially unfortunate when I get home and have food too spicy for me to eat and I put no spicy sauce on mine.
Overall, if you haven’t eaten here… I would pass. There is a much better Mongolian Wok style restaurant in Davenport now that I would rate as 5-​stars.

I didn’t like this place the first time I went there, but I decided to try it again. So far, I have been there twice and there’s a nice selection of foods. You get a lot for the price and everything is delicious!
One of the best deals is to get the Barbarian because it’s an all you can eat! If you can only eat one, which is likely, then they charge you the same amount as a Mighty Khan, so you don’t spend more money if you are hungry for two bowls!

If you like Asian food, this is a restaurant you must visit. The place is set up like a buffet in which you choose one of four bowl sizes and fill it with ingredients to be grilled. You can choose from multiple meats, vegetables and noodles. You finish off the selection with a wide variety of sauces. I highly recommended this restaurant.

Was not impressed at all. Coming from a place where Mongolian is done right, this place was very disappointing. Back home BD Mongolian has better quality and selection of ingredients and the cooks are more upbeat and entertaining.

I live in Chicago and my best friend lives in Rock Island. Every time I visit her, we go here. Never any disappointment, we always wish our stomachs were bigger!

This is one of my favorite places to go for some cheap eats. You can pick your price based on your bowl size (remember that the food cooks down, so fill your bowl high!). They have lots of veggies/​meats/​mix-​ins to choose from. I have tried a bunch of combinations and they were all good. The food cooks up fast and the service isn’t bad — it’s mostly self serve so they don’t do much. I would definitely go back, I’ve never had a bad experience!

One star off for ambience, but otherwise, great quality and amount of food for the price. Their sauce combinations are genius! I always add more of the BBQ sauce though. Buffets usually gross me out, and I guess this should too, but contrary to actual buffets, Mongolian grill is delicious!

You get in line, choose your bowl size, and begin crafting yourself a meal that will be freshly cooked right in front of you. What can go wrong? Well, lots of things…
It doesn’t really compare to other «Mongolian» –type restaurants I’ve been to. The meat cuts seem really low quality, I mean the beef, chicken, and pork looked exactly the same; they were flat slices, basically shaped and textured like large, frozen, potato chips. The (imitation) crab meat tasted nothing like crab meat and I ended up picking all of it out of my meal since I could feel it making me sick after just a few bites.
The vegetable selection was lacking, at best. Your choices came down to nothing more than green peppers, mushrooms, bamboo shoots, onions, and broccoli. There were a couple of other things, but I couldn’t even tell what some of that stuff was. But the vegetables I did choose definitely tasted fresh.
At the end of the line you must choose sauces to top your creation. Unfortunately your only choices are bland and description-​less, you have no way of knowing what you’re getting yourself into, unless you’ve been there before, since there is no way to try the sauces before adding them to your bowl. And that section of the line was just a complete mess, sauces where strewn about everywhere and I could clearly see people cross-​contaminating everything in sight since they don’t know how to use simple tools such as a ladle.
Yeah, it’s cool to watch your food being cooked right in front of you, but that novelty of that wears off quickly when you sit down and actually start eating the food. You taste the low-​quality of the ingredients involved. The only redeeming qualities of this place were that you get to choose from a few different size bowls and the prices are very cheap for the amount of food you get. The largest size bowl is only like $ 10 and you’ll have enough food to feed you for a few days.
I wish my friends would’ve listened to me and we would’ve gone to Chuck E. Cheese’s next door instead.

One of my favorite places to eat. Fresh food prepared by the experts on the grill made the way you want it. Spice it up or keep it plain, and there’s always enough … you’ll never go away hungry.

Great place if you like Chinese food, but want something different. You pick the ingredients you want in your dish and they cook it on a grill in front of you. Great service, and prices. You often have much to take home afterwards! Eat in or Take Out
