  This is a pretty good Mongolian BBQ place with prices that a very reasonable compared to other BBQ places in the Bay Area.
  
  Food (4/5): The food is pretty typical for a Mongolian BBQ, although their noodles are egg noodles, which I really like for Mongolian BBQ. Some BBQ places offer noodles that are almost like spaghetti noodles. They only offer tea eggs and egg rolls as the sides, so there definitely aren't as many side options as the El Camino Mongolian BBQ location, but the tea eggs taste great here! The only complaint I have about the food, is that the soft serve choclate ice cream dessert option is pretty bad. It's very watered down and tastes like crushed ice mixed with cheap chocolate powder.
  
  Setting (3/5): The interior is very large with sparse decorations. However, there are a lot of tables and having to wait to eat is never an issue here, which I value. The parking lot is very large so it's very easy to find parking.
  
  Overall, this is a great place to eat if you're looking for something quick, easy, affordable, and where you can get a large amount of food.

  This would be a one star but their food is like, edible I guess.
  
  First, beware the soft serve ice cream machine. This is probably not edible. The chocolate soft serve tasted like straight up gas. It didn't even taste like chocolate. I felt like it could kill someone who ate too much. Even if the machine was fine, both the vanilla and chocolate flavors were watered down and mostly ice. Not a good soft serve even if it didn't taste like gas.
  
  The mongolian bbq is below average, you get in line for the raw ingredient buffet and grab what you want and they cook it for you. Some vegetables are not that fresh and their sauces are not as good as other places but they have rice and tea eggs as free sides.
  
  Service is really weird. You can only pay with card if you are paying for two or more people. It was also complicated to get tables for our group and we basically had to argue in Chinese.
  
  Will not be returning. And will definitely be warning people about the soft serve machine.

  What do you do when you haven't been to a restaurant in years, and the employee recognizes you?
  
  We stopped by for dinner here at this hole in the wall on a Saturday night.  Young guy at the register looks up, ponders a moment, and says he's seen me before.  A light goes on upstairs, and he remembers my face, as being on the very first Yelp review of this place!
  
  Not much has changed, as the walls are still bare of pictures or paintings, and there is no Asian décor anywhere, just very simple furniture on a tile floor.  Gone are the girls in short shorts beckoning people inside, or maybe it's a seasonal occurrence.  Austere place, not romantic, and not for a first date.  Bring a hot date on a first date here, and it will be your last date!      
  
  Hole in the wall restaurant, but very open and airy with floor to ceiling windows, off white freshly painted walls, and sparkling clean flat black floor tiles.  
  
  11 tables each with 4 chairs, with cash register right by the door -no walk outs in this place!
  
  Sign on the wall lists the prices: $12 weekday lunch, $14 dinner or weekend lunch, $7 children under 12, and $1.85 for sodas without refill.  All prices before tax.  
  
  Usual Mongolian buffet: fill one bowl with uncooked meat, and another bowl with vegetables and noodles.  Add sauce at the end.  
  
  Frozen rolled slices of chicken, pork, beef and lamb meats, with the lamb meats having a heavy dose of fat.  No shrimp to be seen, as people would be busting down the doors.  The lamb goes the fastest, as people know value.  
  
  I load up on the Mongolian noodles, tofu, mushrooms and green bell peppers, the most expensive out of a choice of 16 vegetables.  Several sauces, but I stick to teriyaki, and yellow curry.  
  
  The cook takes the meat and vegetable bowls pan fries it on an enormous pan.  Not sure if he cleans the top of the pan after each cooking, so that might be a problem for you vegetarians or gluten free folks!  
  
  While waiting for your food to cook, there is a separate station for egg-corn soup, tea soaked fresh hard boiled eggs Chinese style, and egg rolls.  Eggs just like my late mother made them 50 years ago!  
  
  We are assigned table 3, next to the wall.  Waiter is quick to bring water, and I get a sprite, on the house, courtesy of the owner's son manning the register.    
  
  The meat and vegetables are fresh, and cooked thoroughly, so that even my wife, with a fussy stomach, has a peaceful post dinner -it's been 1 hour, and no stomach congestion, or signs of food poisoning -not yet!  
  
  I make sure I leave extra room to eat the leftovers on my wife's plate, as there is a sign that says "Food Waste, Cost Extra".  That's why they don't collect the money at the start of the buffet, but at the end, so that they can charge you for uneaten food, even if you don't like it!
  
  I see one man after another man go into the women's bathroom.  Men's bathroom out of order.  Get my cell phone, and get a first Yelp picture of the women's bathroom, complete with a pink drawing of a lady above  the toilet seat!  No puddles in front of toilet, but lots of crumpled paper towels in front of the waste bin.  Men have good aim in front of the toilet but not in front of the trash can!
  
  We get out of there for $30.40 after tax.  Wife of owner is manning the register, and notes that her son, now gone, recognized me, and gave me a soda on the house.  She smiles and gives me a hard time, playfully scolds me for not visiting them since August, 2016!
  
  Flat screen monitor at the register has surveillance ceiling camera view of the register.  And I don't even know how to say "This is a holdup" in Cantonese!

  Great customer service, they take care of you and make sure you're satisfied. The bowls you get may seem small but the end result is a giant plate. The food is delicious. And I got a giant handful of candy
