  NO NOODLES!!!. I’ve been to several Mongolian BBQ restaurants, and I will never go back go Ghenghis Khan. I’ve never heard of a Mongolian BBQ restaurant that doesn’t have noodles. Their variety of vegetables is minimal and low grade (the cheap stuff).The soup was served cold and tasted like chicken broth with corn starch mixed with egg whites. The egg roll was the size of my pinky finger.

  The food is all that matters. I seem to remember Mongolian BBQ joints popping up around the same time as fondue places (the first time). THe fondue places all died off, were forgotten and now have made a retro revival. Time will only tell about them.But a lot of the Mongolian BBQ places quietly kept going for the last 35-40 years. This place is one of those. I was last here almost 30 years ago and upon walking in a rush of memories came back to me. It was exactly the same place. Nothing has been changed or as noted below painted in all that time. It is freakin time warp. So as the other review says, do not bring your snotty friends here. The place is worn and drab and a little underlit. Do not ask for advice on the 4 bottles of wine and just hope they remembered to put one of the whites in the cooler. Do not be overly needy in your requests to the overworked waitresses. This is DIY dining and they will barely have time to take your order when the place is busy. If this just sounds unappealing to you then move along.The place remains popular for one and only reason – it offers a lot of fresh food cheap. You know the food is fresh because you put it in its uncooked form right in your bowl and then watch it cooked up for you. Then you take your stir fried concoction (and that’s what it is – an inverted shallow wok and nothing to do with BBQ) and have it over rice or stuffed into the sesame dotted pocket breads that are served up warm to your table. The menu is pretty basic – do you want all you can eat or just one time through the line and what appetizers if any do you want with it. That’s it. Simple and satisfying and all in room that looks like a set piece from a Cohen Bros. movie

  Well-worn Mongolian BBQ, value, taste can’t be beat. Super casual, fun, cheap, tasty. Of course, it’s called Genghis Khan, like so many other Mongolian BBQ places, but this one has been around for years. I’ve gone there for at least 20. They have an all-you-can-eat selection for around $10 if you can believe it! I find the flavors here to be the best…try the sherry for that special touch when you spoon up ; ) It’s dearly in need of a paint job inside but the place is a classic and the food’s great. Don’t bring your truly snooty friends here, you’ll never hear the end…but go and enjoy and have a plum wine or tall Sapporo to top it off.
