Price: $
Customer Service: I've been here a few times with my mom and every time we come, our servers are always so friendly and nice. They deliver a quick service regardless of how busy they are and are always welcoming us with a smile.
Food: It's worth it to come here when you have a big appetite. Their AYCE Mongolian bbq is really good and cheap.
Overall: This is my favorite Mongolian bbq place when I'm back home. It's so much more worth it to eat here than buy a small bowl of Mongolian bbq elsewhere for the same price. -

After all these years (read 22 since I first learned about the place) on terms of meat choice, vegetable selection and sauce varieties, this place is still the definition of Mongolian BBQ in my book.
Go here. You'll understand. -

I came here to eat Mongolian stir fry noodles with some coworkers during lunch time. I was hoping my experience will be better here because I usually get my Mongolian noodles at the Westfield Mall, so I was hoping this could be a new go-to spot for me since it's a lot closer to me. However, the experience here was disappointing.
Ambiance: the place is pretty dingy, not to say there's no AC in this hot little spot since the giant grill is constantly cooking noodles.
Food: Overall the food was just okay. I guess I expected the noodles to be just as tasty as the other spot I normally go for Mongolian noodles in Arcadia. One perk about this restaurant is that they gave you free sides (such as flat bread and rice for go-to orders).
It was a self-serve style where you get to pick out your own meat from a selection of 5 different kinds of meat (beef, pork, chicken, turkey and lamb), then there were about five different kinds of veggies (broccoli, lettuce, spinach, and carrots). I have seen more veggie selections at other Mongolian noodle places.
Anyhow, the reason why I gave this place 2 stars is because there was a CRICKET in the noodles. As I was waiting for my food to be stir fried, a patron in line behind me pointed out the DEAD CRICKET in the noodles. When he pointed to this particular unwelcome foreign object to the waiter, the waiter just quietly and seamlessly removed the whole pot of noodles as if nothing really happened. Although insects like crickets would be considered as a delicacy in some parts of world, but I am pretty sure that's just borderline gross negligence on the part of the restaurant to maintain a basic standard of food safety and clean kitchen in the U.S.
I checked their food safety and health score on Yelp later that day, and as of now, the grade is still A. I am willing to give this restaurant the benefit of doubts that what I saw was just a one-off incident. But even with that said, I probably would not go back there to eat again since the food was just okay and not worth risking a potential food poison. -

Think of the Mongolian stir fry noodles you get at the mall but all you can eat at the price of one entree at the mall! You can put as much meat, vegetables, noodles, and sauce combinations as you want and they'll stir fry everything up for you! The meal also comes with complimentary rice and bread if you want to eat your meat/vegetables with that instead of noodles.
The workers are kind. They encourage you to get more! Parking is very easy in a little plaza. -

.We came here because my daughter wanted to eat Pepper Lunch. However, the portions are always so small at Pepper Lunch and I'm always hungry afterwards, so I suggested to come here instead.
I give 3 for the food and 5 for the service
Food was alright given the price. We came here for lunch for $10.95 per person. Some of the beef and lamb was hard to chew. Also, taste was not the same as Pepper Lunch. Although they do have a teriyaki water that you can add to your dish, it's not the same. When it's time to cook, ask them not to add soy sauce otherwise your whole dish tastes like soy sauce. I would suggest that they offer warm teriyaki sauce to be added to your dish at the end to add more taste and flavor. Also, Sriracha sauce to keep up with the changing tastes of their customers.
Service was great. We got extra soup, sesame pockets and rice very quickly.
