Genghis Khan Mongolian Grill

Decent, won't call it great. Though it has the word"Mongolian" in its name, it's more of a typical "fake" Chinese food restaurant. The price is acceptable. The food is, well fake Chinese food that are made to fit most western people's taste buds. It's too sweet and too simple to become Chinese food. The "Mongolian Grill" they serve is just meat cooked on a hot huge metal sheet, really nothing special unless you enjoy eating a piece of the scrub comes from this iron board that aged for days. The environment is clean, service is all right, good place to hang out with your friends if you just want to sit down, talk and eat, they also got unlimited refillable drinks. But if you just want to explore with your taste buds, oh hell no, take your stuffs and run as fast as you can.

As I brought my finished bowl back to my seat to try it, I was impressed with how thoroughly cooked the noodles and chosen toppings were. It was incredibly hot and grilled thoroughly too — that fire grill is something else! I thought that my noodle creation was delicious and I would have gone back for a second round right away if not for wanting to try out the rest of the buffet selections.

This place is a family favourite. For those who haven't been, it is an all you can eat Chinese food stir fry, where you select all your protein, veg, noodles and a variety of sauces from a long buffet table, and then watch one of their cooks heat all you ingredients on a giant, round, flattop grill. There are also several tables with more conventional Chinese buffet offerings, if you are not interested in the stir fry. <br/ <br/ There were a dozen of us there in Sunday, celebrating two birthdays. There were carnivores, vegetarians, and omnivores in our group, and the format allowed everyone to meet their specific needs.

It’s probably been at least 6 years since I’ve visited a Mongolian Grill – Genghis Khan (Facebook Instagram: @mongolianbbqTO  (This visit being my second time ever! The concept of “all you can eat” slightly frustrates me in the sense that I  feel I never eat enough. Another reason being I’m a very indecisive person (It would probably be hours before I finally decide on what I want to eat . Nonetheless, 2 weeks ago, I decided to put all my reasons aside and just go indulge in an epic feast!

Genghis Khan Mongolian Grill is a Mongolian inspired DIY stir fry and Northern Chinese buffet on Don Mills Road in North York, ON. The restaurant is separated into two sections the Mongolian grill and the buffet area that serves Chinese hot foods. It should be noted that they do not serve Mongolian food here at Genghis Khan Mongolian Grill. Rather, it's a borrowed concept from the legend of the great warrior, Genghis Khan, from the 13th century. Back then, Genghis Khan and his soldiers would prepare and cook their meals on their upturned shields over a hot fire, and would use their swords to cook the ingredients. This is pretty much where the concept originated from, and it has been popularized throughout the world.<br/ <br/ The concept is pretty simple, as diners would choose various ingredients from the displays to combine together to make their desired bowls. Genghis Khan Mongolian Grill offers an array of meats, ingredients, vegetables, and sauces to mix and match, so there's definitely something for everyone. First up was the meat station where you have the option to choose from lamb, pork, chicken, and beef. I recommend taking more than 4 5 slice of meat, as they do shrink in size on the grill. I was impressed with the variety of sauces that they offer, as there were plenty of pre made sauces, and oils/seasonings (chili oil, sesame oil, fish sauce, cooking wine, etc ...   available. After choosing your meat, you would then add whatever vegetables, type of noodle, and sauces you want, and then take it to the grill to be cooked. The griddle operator/chef would then take your raw bowl, and cook it on the large, and round iron grill  (with the addition of oil and water . The grill is rather hot, so it cooks quite fast within 5 minutes time (heats up to 300 °C .
