Mongolian Grill

Went there for dinner while we were on vacation in SD. Not the cleanest, and not as good as Hu-​hot down the street.

Not the worst Mongolian that I’ve tasted, still very decent. I would recommend the cooks to leave the food on the stove a few more minutes overall it was ok.
Good service!

Price is good and food is good. A lot of vegetable options. Not many sauce options. Food comes off the grill very, very hot. Wait staff seemed friendly enough; the cooks, not as much but not rude. Compared to HuHot, I would say Mongolian has a few more vegetable options but very lacking in sauces. Not a large variety of things you can do for flavor.

Pretty great! We are frequent visitors here and our experience is always great. The staff is super friendly and quick at getting everyone through the grille. I always try something different every time we go and it’s nice that they have so many selections and things to choose from. Mmmm so good!

This is a typical Mongolian Grill. The food was fantastic and the staff was nice. They were very friendly to our son. The restaurant was very clean and they even offer take out. The only reason this didn’t get 5 stars from me is because they were only seating people in one half of the restaurant and so it was very loud and crowded with children running all over the place (not the fault of the restaurant… people out here are horrible parents). Fantastic food and will definitely return.

We arrived at the not-​terribly-​creatively-​named Mongolian Grill after a long day of travel (both air and land), and frankly, we were just hungry. Not wanting to drive too far from our hotel, which was essentially across the street, we were just looking for something that sounded decent, and most of the other places nearby didn’t really fit the bill. Mongolian Grill, however? Definitely.
Be warned that there are not a lot of options on the menu (see picture), though the bar itself has plenty of options for filling your bowl. Once in line, you pile a bunch of goodies into your bowl, and then as many — or as few — sauces as you like, and then watch as the magic happens on the grill, as they cook your dinner before your very eyes. Once everything is done, you sit down and eat. There really isn’t much too it.
One of the fun things is watching some of the young ‘uns cram as as much as they can into the bowls — this seems to have to do with the fact that the smaller bowls are single trips and the larger bowls are multiple trips, or something along those lines — so if you get a small bowl, you only get a single trip, even though you can take as much in that bowl as you like. Still, the food is good, and definitely filling.

The waitress and the old man owner were very sweet. A decent all-​you-​can eat joint. Huge dining areas, two separate rooms. We opted for all you can eat though we couldn’t do no more than two bowls before we felt like floating belly up.
Healthy choices, all sorts of veggies, tofu, shrimp, imitation crab, pork, chicken, beef, two types of noodles or you can order steamed rice.
Tip: decline the teriyaki sauce when the stir-​fryers/​chefs ask, especially if you already sauced up your dish… For me it’s too sweet anyway. If you want, say easy on the sauce. Easy!

I have been to multiple mongolian grill type of restaurants and this one is by far the best tasting. They really know how to cook it here. Very friendly staff. We have been here many many times. We will continue to visit here!
The only criticism I have of this place is the booth setting could be updated. They are all very old and worn down. Some of them you feel like you will fall through. Request a table when you visit.

This place was right down the street from our hotel and my wife and I wanted something quick and not too pricey. There was nothing special about this mongolian grill compared to other ones I’ve tried The prices were what you expect (Dinner: small bowl $ 9, medium bowl $ 10, large bow $ 11, and all you can eat $ 12). The waitress was super friendly, the cooks weren’t very talkative but they had all the ingredients there to choose from. The place was clean and the food cooked right.

I have been going to this Mongolian grill for years. When anyone asks where I want to go eat, I always say Mongolian Grill. I have worked in the restaurant industry and I know what goes on in the «back of the house» so it’s nice to be able to see your food be cooked.
One of the best things about Mongolian Grill is that you get to take home your left overs. You can’t do that at HuHot. This is why, to the disgust of a previous reviewer, customers jam food into those bowls. On a good day you can get two more meals out of your large bowl. it is because you can’t take your food home that I have not been to HuHot, but instead go to Mongolian grill.
I would suggest you use the baby corns with caution. I don’t know what’s up with them, but they can be funky.

LOVED!!! I’ve actually never been to one besides what we had during my first deployment to Iraq.
They were incredibly nice and easy to get along with and watching to cook do his magic was awesome! It was quiet and clean and within walking distance from the hotel. I would recommend this place to others!

This place is a typical Mongolian grill and had many of the same things that a lot of them have. I had a couple of small bowls, but my husband really enjoyed it and tried a bunch of different items with different sauces. The only thing I didn’t like was that I felt like they used too much water while cooking which took away a little bit of the sauce flavor. I did add a little extra the second bowl which made it much better. It is definitely worth checking out when in Rapid City. Happy Travels!

love this place always good food and i love i can make it custom to exactly what i like !! plus a large bowl makes about five meals for me and i love it left over !!! great price !!

Very good!!! Amazing!!! It was funny because when me and my dad walked I’m we thought it was a typical buffet. You basically pick up a plate and choose whatever you want to put with the noodles. What I suggest to everybody that go there, just pick up the small plate and refill as much as you can! Because the price will stay the same and the medium and large plates are too big!
Very good experience and food

I was not a huge fan of this place, especially having first tried HuHot just a few streets over. It’s interesting seeing a promising place on the outside to then walk into an outdated restaurant. My service was phenomenal though. My water was refilled before I could get anywhere near finishing it. And she brought a to go container without me even asking. Pricing was good. The ingredient buffet is filled with frozen raw meats which you place in the same bowl and hand to the cook that he then hands back to you when your food is ready. This I found odd and must be against the health code. The sauce varieties were very disappointing, mostly very watery or oily. HuHot has them way beat in this department. I was pleased they had real Thai noodles and the bowl were very large, I’ll have more than enough for another meal with what I took home, I wouldn’t even bother paying for all you can eat with how much food fits in the bowl and you can’t take anything home with you should you goose that option. White rice was free. I probably would not return since HuHot is the same price, just as close, with better options in most categories.

Do not eat here! Gave me the worst stomach ache ever! The food does not look fresh as far as veggies go and of course the meat is froEn but everything looks like it’s been sitting out all day. Even though HuHot is a chain at least the food is fresh!

Maybe I don’t know enough about Mongolian grills to be reviewing this one, since the only one I had been to before was the HuHot in my hometown, but this restaurant left my wife and I much to be desired. The service was not good, the portions were good, but the items offered were iffy at best. My wife had some shrimp in her bowl, and so far she hasn’t gotten sick, but the evening is early yet. I didn’t even fill my bowl, and had plenty. What amazed me was watching others fill their bowls to get their money’s worth. And when I say fill, I mean they overfill their bowls and smash it down, then I saw one person use that same hand to reach in and grab more noodles to put on top, then smash it down again.
If you’re a poor college student, I guess it’s worth the money, but if you actually earn your money, I’d say spend it elsewhere.

This place has good buffet style food. You choose your own ingredients and sauces, and the chefs cook it up before your eyes. The food is good, and the restaurant is clean. It’s not too pricey for the amount of food you get, and you will probably have left overs. The bathrooms are clean and there is plenty of family seating.

If you’ve been to one Mongolian Grill you’ve been to them all.
This one is no different from the many grill restaurants around the country: Mongolian BBQ, Flat Top Grill to name a few.
The only stand out about this Grill is the staff. Friendly, attentive. I heard my server give multiple people stir fry suggestions.
This place is huge. And there’s plenty of booths for everyone. Nice place.

You definitely get a lot of food! You’ll leave with leftovers for sure!
Food was good, not fantastic, I would’ve liked udon noodles better.
Front counter lady was so sweet and helpful.
Overall, I left full, satisfied, and will be back.
