BD’s Mongolian Grill

Cool place. You are likely not getting the choicest ingredients, but everything looked fresh. The staff was very engaging and attentive.

LOVE the vegetarian options! When I saw they had the meatless chicken and beef … I knew it was the place for our family! Everyone was so HAPPY and friendly! The hostess, the server, the cooks! The cook was so fun!!! She was the best! She made the experience fun. Our server was friendly and she smiled … That’s rare these days. It was a great place to be!

Not Impressed, waiter seemed really preoccupied, went to fill my Bowl, all the food slots where almost empty, and the food, looked like it had been out for a while, the shrimp was really slimy and gross looking, and the noodles, or what was left of the noodles, was all Clumped up.
Decided to just drink my Watered Down 3.00 Ice tea and leave.

Love this place! Clean place. Previous visits the salad bar was nasty but they have cleaned up their act! Friendly servers and very nice cooks.

Fresh food. Also offers appetizers that are pretty good. I typically sit at the bar and get excellent service. Deserts and drinks are to die for and a good price all around. The ONLY thing this place lacks is more interactive grillers. But I wouldn’t mark this place down for that. Overall, consistently great place to eat.

I go here like every week. The food is amazing. The staff are always really kind and joke around a lot. I love them it’s my favorite place to eat plus they have amazing vegan options. You make the bowls yourself so the food taste will depend on want you put in. But if you mess up your first time they offer to let you make a whole new bowl for free.

As a first-​time diner, I was pleasantly surprised.
I was shocked that they had plenty of vegetarian options for the non-​carnivorous types, like myself. Plus, they grilled my food in a separate wok because I’m both a vegetarian and allergic to shellfish. That’s a bonus that one doesn’t often find. It appreciated that immensely. I’d come back again just for that.
The food was really good, very savory and fresh. I was impressed. There were so many combinations and options for me, which, as a vegetarian, I’m not accustomed to getting when dining out. It wasn’t too pricey, pretty mid-​range for the area. The portions were pretty generous you could hit the toppings bar for refills.
Our server was very attentive and didn’t mind going through how the menu worked and all with us since we’d never dined at BD’s before.
As for the hibachi chefs-​they really put on a show at the grill for the patrons. It was a fun time all around. I will definitely give it another go.

We’ve been to this location of BD’s several times. Today we stopped in for lunch, around 12:30 PM on a Sunday afternoon. At the door we were greeted by the hostess and manager. They gave us choice of seating, the space is divided between booth and table seating. We had the one bowl with soup and salad bar. The salad bar had two soups and various fixings with your choice of dressings and toppings. The best part about this establishment is that you control what goes into your meal from the protein, veg, carbs and seasoning. We created our meals and took them over to the grillerz. They were cooked and served up to our specs. It was tasty, yummo! The cost is $ 8.99 each plus tip/​tax for lunch, we had some coupons that greatly reduced the bill. We will return!

seated promptly, smelled delicious, nice ambiance, but didn’t eat here, because when we looked at the menu, the standard «one bowl» meal without any extras (which start at $ 4!!) like fried rice, etc, was $ 14. not sure who wants to pay that much for a bowl of rice and veggies and meat. might as well get the refillable bowl for $ 16, but was not in our budget. expect to spend at least $ 40 per couple!

First timers. After vowing never to return to the Auburn Hills location, we gave this one a try. The basics are the same, of course. For a set price, you get to fill your bowl with all the veggies, starches, fruit, herbs and meats you want, fill a cup with sauce, spices and seasonings, take it to the grill and watch them cook your masterpiece.
If you don’t like it, you can pay more for the unlimited meal, which is also great for hearty appetites, newcomers and ravenous teen boys who may or may not like the combination of meatballs, pork and duck covered in spaghetti sauce. (No, no he didn’t.) Gross.
A sad salad bar sits forgotten in the back and isn’t worth filling your belly. No chopped egg. Little of interest. Disgusting tomatoes that dissolved when I cut them for my toddler. I didn’t try the soup, but my husband’s beef and mushroom looked like gross black bits in Heinz gravy. It formed a skin within 10 minutes of sitting on the table. Ew.
The trick here is to layer herbs (cilantro) and flat items (noodles, potatoes) first. You can line the bowl with snow peas. Bulky items like peppers and baby corn next. Then carefully add meat on top. The sirloin comes in sheets, and it’s like stacking bath towels. No spillage. I’m not as talented with slimier bits like chicken or pork. Sirloin? I stacked it about 8 inches high. Had enough for three meals. Bam!
Since they only want to give takeout boxes on your first bowl, plan ahead and stack, layer, line the bowl, mash down and hold your food together. You can always wash your hands while they cook it all, right? ;)
Service was good though standoffish. A nearby table had a great server who engaged them and kept them laughing. Ours was just efficient. Not bad, just not fun.
The grillers had a great time belting out songs and flipping their doohickies. (The metal grilling stick things.) They were friendly but not conversant with customers. Cleanup of the grill was rushed and sloppy, and my son had burnt ash in his food from the hasty job they did clearing away burnt food. Not cool. They needed to use the water bottles for the job. Also, oil. They don’t use enough, and they don’t spray it where the food goes. They spray a small area close to the edge but spread the food over the middle. Makes no sense.
The bathroom was run down, the toilet seat was freezing, the toilet paper dispenser was broken, and the toilet seat was too small for the rim. It was odd. The sinks were pretty and modern, but the toilets looked 30 years old. And why have restaurants stopped heating their bathrooms?!
Our two youngest ate for free. My husband and I both only went up once. My son had the only unlimited. My daughter’s cost $ 6. No alcohol. It still cost us $ 60.
Overall, it was a positive experience. If I want to get my free birthday meal, this will be my go-​to location. However, they need to work on the items above. They are still overpriced. And they really need to put the entry next to the parking lot.

What’s not to love about a place where you pick your own crazy choices and see it cooked by even crazier chefs with long sword like devices. My kids love this place so much that they beg us to come here if we’re with 50 miles. If your looking for out of the ordinary, Mongo is for you.

Surprisingly good. Restaurant has a lot of seating. Service is great. Salad bar is okay. They have 2 soups on there too. We ordered the potstickers for an app. It comes with 4 pieces which I didn’t think was very much. If you make your own meal it comes with white rice, brown rice and tortillas. Lots of options and the sauces are great.

This place is a embarrassing joke. Extremely over priced, the food is nasty and manufactured, my service was crap and I wanted to punch that little cocky weasel of a waiter. When bringing up that my food was not the greatest he said «what? Are you too good for the food? «. I will tell everyone I meet to not go to this place. Worst experience ever. The cooks don’t know how to properly stir fry, everything comes out wrong and they slop it on your plate with Zero respect. They focus more on throwing the cooking sticks around than the food, join the circus you amateur clowns.

There are a variety of meats, seafood, vegetables, and sauces to choose from. Mix and match as you desire, fill up your bowl and you can definitely get quite a lot from it.

BD’s can be hit or miss lately but this one rocked! Everything was full or being refilled at all times. Only two people on the grill (probably normal for a week night) but they cooked everything perfectly. They even allowed the sauces to «blend» for a little while which most don’t lately. Great job Flint, MI!

Very Good Food except the Fried Rice was really disgusting. Service was good. Make sure you pile the meat on last… they refunded the money for the fried rice!

I’m not very good at creating my own stir fries so I don’t like to have to do this myself so this isn’t my kind of place. Also, they cook the food in front of you and the cook we had was sleeved all the way up on both arms with tattoos. I don’t know, something about it kind of grossed me out.

The restaurant is clean and the service was good. But for 25 $ a person after a drink and tip… I can make stir fry at home!

Saturday night at 6:45pm the 25 minute wait ended up only being 10 minutes. Our table server greeted us right away, kept our drinks full, and did a great job making sure we had everything we needed. The buffet of fresh and raw ingredients looked great and was fully stocked. The grill was already full when we walked up, but the staff was quick to let us know where to stand so we could be in the right spot when the next spot at the grill opened up. The grill was just the right temperature and the grill cooks were fun, doing tricks here and there (better than some lunch times when the grill is so hot that the food burns while cooking). I went for a chicken fajita plate and the hubby went for a beef and broccoli stir fry. If you’re watching carbs– ask your server for lettuce wraps instead of tortillas. No complaints and the service was top notch– a great BD experience!

Yummy food, great service, good drink specials, great birthday perks if you’re signed up with email club. :)
