I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but a few things annoyed me during my visit. First, I had arrived well after 11:00 am, their adverised opening time, and the chairs were still inverted on the tables. Second, when I did approach the tables with my food many of the items that accompany my meal werent there - no egg roll, soup, rice, and chopsticks. Third, when I asked for an additional napkin, the waitress - who was just on the other side of a parition doing preparations said, "Sure, Ill get you one in a minute." When I had to remind her later, she went back to where she was standing when I had asked her originally - within an arms distance away - and picked up a napkin that was there all-along, handing it to me. Fourth, when I asked for the red sauce that normally comes with the egg-roll, the waitress responded, "It normally doesnt come with it, but Ill check to see if we have some." I found that strange, since I always have seen that at other places. Lastly, and this is personal, but I would rather not have to see someone walking around with his or her pants falling behind their backside enough to show the top of their undies - especially my server. Just saying.

The selection of ingredients is average, certainly not premium as some others Ive been to. The food is fresh, aside from the thin sliced frozen meat, which is standard at most Mongolian BBQs. Sauce selection and combination suggestions are likewise average while adequate. Good value at $10.50 for AYCE dinner while lunch is a single shot deal. Service is friendly and helpful but they always seem short handed and is a management issue IMHO. The reason for deducting 1 star is this might be the messiest Mongolian Ive been to, with a near constant trail of vegetables, noodles and sauces scattered around the counters and floors in the food areas. Now it is not uncommon in this style of restaurant where you allow patrons to pile as much loose ingredients in a small bowl to have many spills, but its either the locals are particularly messy or more likely is the short staffing issue which hinders the staff cleaning more regularly. It doesnt so much bother me, but if you are kinda new to this concept then the vegetables all commingled and occasional noodles dropped in the sauce tubs might put you off.

BEST. MONGOLIAN BBQ. EVER! Yes, you cant expect the cooks to treat you extra special because of food allergies. If they did that to every person that has them, the prices would SKYROCKET. Also, why would you expect 5-star service at a place where you build your own meal/bowl? At least they offer their customers with small bowls of soup and rice and an egg roll. Other Mongolian BBQ places Ive been to either charge extra for that or they dont offer it. I love that you can get unlimited trips for $2 extra during their lunch hours. If I could be a silent partner with the owners, I would propose they expand towards the Bay Area and even nationwide. Its worth the trip coming from the Tri-Valley Area for all-you-can-eat Mongolian BBQ at $10/person without soda/beer.

The food was good but I left hungry and unsatisfied. The hostess/waitress in the dining area only acknowledged me long enough to tell me that I could start with my bowl and asked for my drink order. After that, I became nonexistent to her. I never got a refill, never got any of the additional items that are supposed come with the dinner other than rice and soup. She almost tried to avoid eye contact with me and seemingly did the same to other customers. I would have had a second bowl, but I decided Id rather go home hungry than have to deal with the poor service any longer. I may come back and try again at some point, but I dont see that happening for a long time.

The food here is pretty good and supper is even better because its all you can eat for the price you pay at lunch! I like being able to select what you want to add in your bowl and watching the cook throw your food all over the hot wheel shaped cooking top they have! I must say to add more of what you want because when the guy gets through tossing your order all over the place, youll be lucky if you get some of what you put in the bowl. But with supper, who cares, just go back up for more!

My family loves going to GK. The all-you-can-eat is wasted on me but my son and husband definitely get our moneys worth. I love that you customize the bowls to your liking with a variety of different meat option and a good variety of fresh veggies. We usually get shrimp but at $2 extra it can add up quickly. The staff is friendly. And they also offer a to-go option, of course no where near the amount of food offered as when you dine in.

My favorite Mongolian BBQ place in the entire extended SF Bay area. Price of dinner is just slightly more than lunch, partly because shrimp is an add-on. Other places add shrimp to the dinner line-up, but they tend to ration it by only occasionally putting out a small amount, so I always pay for it but seldom get it. I prefer the GK Mongolian method where I pay a small addition for shrimp during lunch or dinner.

It wasnt the 1st time I went there hoping for good service. I explained my allergy and what they had to do. Twice now, I sat there with my family watching them eat while hunger ravished my body. Not to mention how it bothered my family. They refused to follow simple directions to wash the sticks as well as the stove. The manager, well... who knows... they didnt handle it before. I will NOT go back.

For the love that all is holy, please if you can, open up shop in Tucson, AZ.... Theres only one Mongolian BBQ place in Tucson and it SUCKS big time. Ive always ate here each week when I lived in Tracy, and loved every time I came in.

Id say this place is better than Ghengis Grill by a long shot. You have a bigger bowl to start with and better options. The staff help you out with making sure your food is well seasoned in case you left out a few key ingredients.

The food is yummy! its the place my kids always choose when asked where they want to go. only drawback is it gets crowded during dinner hours waiting in line for the food to be cooked because there is only one grill.

Typical mongolian place with more rules posted than food info. Nice and clean veggies seemed fresh. No all you can eat for lunch but a second trip is only 2 bucks. Would definitely go again.

Love love Mongolian BBQ, has local veggies and lots of sauce options... But, missing the spicy hot oil option I always get at other places. Was very good and filling though.

The food here is always so amazing! Dinner is all you can eat for about 10.50 so its a great deal and its just amazing and so flavorful! Definitely highly recommended
