Genghis Khan Mongolian BBQ

this place would be good if they didn’t cook your noodles on a single hot stone cooking surface or kept it clear of the sticky brown sauces that everyone seems to choose.
everyone it seems chooses heavy brown sauces for their bowl of noodles. consequently, your dish will have a hint of whatever sauce choices the previous diners made.
the buffet selections ate minimal and not anything special. the noodles are the only reason to go here, but the preparation ruins it, at least for me.

The grill masters are great. Fresh veggies and the sauces are delicious. Very reasonable price considering you also get soup and buffet along with a single trip to the grill. It’s next to medical complex so nice choice that doesn’t involve hospital food. Will come back frequently. It is not for the high brow but it is delicious.

We chose stir-​fry bowls to go. The chefs cooked them on the grill with two sticks right in front of us. The hostess then packaged them up in to-​go containers and let us go to the buffet to fill the rest of our box. The sweet and sour chicken was great. The chicken meat was actually white meat instead of the questionable meat sometimes found in other restaurants. We were quite pleased with our food. Tasted great and we could customize it however we wanted. We will come back when in the area.

This is easily by far one of the worst restaurants I’ve been to. Not only the food was tasteless, the food in the Buffett stations were so dry it was not possible to chew it. The garlic bread and the Mongolian bread could have used a wood cutting hacksaw. It was so dry. the vegetables in the BBQ section were stale, white mushrooms were black and spinach was droopy.
We told the waiter that we needed to speak to the manager. she mentioned talking to her was as good as talking to the manager. We asked her why the food quality was so bad and the buffet station was so dry. she got defensive saying that we were late coming at 7:30 p.m. She also told if you don’t like the food don’t come back. we’re going to take her advice on the face value and honor it. Amen to her attitude, amen to the food, bye bye to the restaurant.
Spend your money somewhere else and try not to ruin your lunch or dinner.

I’ve driven by this place so many times in the years we’ve lived here and finally decided to try it. It was a weeknight and my wife, daughter and I stopped in. They were not busy. The BBQ make-​your-​own was fun and mine turned out well. The staff were helpful and gave us pointers.
I should have stopped there. I tried some items from the buffet and they were greasy, soggy and salty.
Overall the place could use a major facelift. After eating the bad food at the buffet, the worn carpet, the old posters on the wall, the rusty vents in the bathroom, etc., just creeped us out.
I had a beer, so with tip, we ended up paying $ 50 for a meal we regretted.

I went here for a friend’s birthday and I have to say that it was one of the best service experiences I’ve ever had.
Lately, I have been torturing myself with this elimination diet, which pretty much makes dining out impossible. Needless to say, I wasn’t ecstatic to go to a Mongolian buffet where the food is delicious, but prepared in a way that I wouldn’t be able to actually eat it.
I told the waitress right away what my dietary restrictions are and she said that it wasn’t a problem at all! She told me to pick out my veggies and that she would steam them in the kitchen for me rather than having them sautéed. They also had a hot bar area where they served steamed rice.
The other people that I was with all enjoyed their meals and everything smelled delicious. They had frozen meats that you could choose to have fried up, fresh veggies, and different sauces to choose from. Think HuHot, except more authentic.
It was such an easy and pleasant experience. I will definitely come back when visiting Milwaukee.

I have been driving by this place for years and never stopped in, today would be the day. The building just doesn’t look like an asian place and I wonder what it started life as. I walked in and I was surprised that it was not your typical cheesy Chinese décor but actually nice looking with tall windows and white table cloths. The place is small with a bar like area where the cash register is and can someone explain the millions of pennies on top of it for some reason. The inside looked clean and had a buffet going which would explain the guy in the booth with monstrous plates of food on the table for one person, I thought before I saw the buffet that they have huge portions here and how could one man eat all that food on the table. I thought the dim lighting, white table cloths and high windows was kind of a cool setting. I was only in for take out but I did get some pictures. First off what happened to egg rolls since I was a kid, I got the tiny version with no protein in it and this seems like the norm now of days from everyone. The egg roll was mediocre like most and for once I would like to be blown away by a good egg roll. I opted for the Mongolian beef which is a personal fav of mine. I would have liked it to be hotter or spicier but it was good. The meat was that thin and tender, not dry or chewy Chinese style. I like that it was not over loader with onions so as to skimp on the meat in the dish. Overall the food was average, not bad but not spectacular. Will it replace my fav, no. Will I go back, yes because I drive by it all the time and out of convenience I would sample the menu. I like the place overall and it has a charm to it. I don’t do buffets because I get stuffed quick and never eat a whole meal from a restaurant but I might fast and check out that buffet, it’s been about 14 years since my last. Yes I will be back.

I don’t know what these reviewers are talking about with service. Mine was great. I came in only for the boba tea but was asked if I wanted to check out the buffet. It looked good so I grabbed some chinese food to go. The sesame chicken wasn’t as crispy as I’d like (was a little soggy) but it tasted pretty good. The boba tea was great. It was a little shady and a little dirty but I didn’t get sick… I’ll test my luck again. If they cleaned up, I’d be back sooner!

Descriptive phrase: unassumingly-​delicious Mongolian bowls.
A large group of coworkers stopped in to Gengis Khan Mongolian BBQ for lunch for a colleague who was leaving. You’ve probably passed this place a million times on Highway 100 and never noticed it; what looks like a former fast food joint — turned Asian sit-​down appears quite dated. The inside isn’t much better décor-​wise, but the food delivers.
When you walk in from the private parking lot the first room features a small bar and some sparse seating. Most of the seats are in the second room, which is larger and houses the bowl-​bar, the grill window, and the buffet. The lunch special gets you a Mongolian BBQ bowl and full access to the buffet for around $ 10. You’ll get your fill, don’t worry.
You start by grabbing a ceramic bowl and filling it with meat. There are multiple choices, and you can have as much as you want. The only catch is you get one bowl and that’s it. The meat itself looks like frozen, dried pork-​rinds. It ends up grilling nicely and you’d never notice the difference. Follow up the meat with an assortment of veggies and sauces, as well as noodles or rice. Hand the bowl to the grill-​masters and watch them work around the hot circular griddle.
The buffet itself is pretty standard Americanized-​Asian food, but the Mongolian bowl is a nice change of pace for lunch in the area. And the price isn’t too bad. It’s not top of my lunch list, but it’s a solid addition to any rotation.

It’s very consistent in its quality. They seem to always be on the edge of being dirty but have found a way to always just being clean enough. However, that’s the charm of this place. I don’t disagree with the previous remarks about the lack of courtesy from the staff and owners.
The biggest negative is that you are held hostage to whatever was cooked on the flat top previous to you. I use the same «formula» every time and depending on what was cooked before me it can be medium to eye watering hot.

This place is great! The service isn’t always the best. But it is literally the best chinese/​mongolian buffet I can find in the whole city. I have been going here for years and I have enjoyed it every time. They could use a good cleaning though!

The place is pretty solid. I appreciate their meat selection, I wish they still had lamb.
My gripe is the fact that the staff (owners) are extraordinarily rude. They park their SUV and BMW in the first spots and would lead you to believe they are doing you a favor by bringing you a coke.
The food is good, but the owners are terrible.

Used to love it here… it’s really gone down hill. too many buffet rules and food that has sat for quite some time :(

I had the lunch buffet. Made to order it was cooked in front of me and came out delicious.

I go here off and on because I really have to be in the mood for this place in order for me to go.
The Mongolian BBQ is okay although my only complaint is that they have a limited selection of stuff compared to other places like Flattop Grill or BD Mongolian Grill.
The other prepared Chinese food can be hit or miss but I tend to stay away from it.
Today, I went around 1:30 or so and there is probably only 2 people there. After I was done eating and was sitting there reading my book, one of the guys asked if I was done (to which I said yes) and he then hovered like he wanted me to pay. Seriously dude? There are 2 people in the restaurant and it’s not busy! leave me alone!!!

It’s my nephew’s birthday, July 31^st he turned 12. He wanted to eat Mongolian BBQ. Thanks to the handy Unilocal app, we were able to find one nearby.
I spoke with the host/​waitress about his allergies to peanuts. She assured us that they don’t use peanut oil, all we need to do is request that the cooks clean the grill. each time. We went for the dinner buffet. It was little over $ 10.00 a person, $ 8 for those under 9. They don’t split tips, so we divided the tips for the cooks jar and waitress.
I made 3 small bowls. The first two were great, the last one I did the same meat and vegetable combination as the first, but added garlic mixed with oil. It was too much for my taste, so live and learn.
Overall it was fun to watch the food, and fun to pick your favorite foods. Next time I’m looking forward to testing my luck with mixing my favorite sauces. I think I overdid the garlic, *sniff-​sniff*. Yup, I did.

Ambiance 2 The vaulted ceiling is nice but could use a remodel or update. the AC could be out or under powered. due to the hot griddle. The booths could be reupholstered. and scrubbed down. overall.

If the dude who runs this place ran flattop, there’d be no waiting 25 minutes for your food. He is keeping things moving – for better or worse.
I’m one of the only people who likes the China buffet they offer better than the actual Mongolian bbq. It always has the same odd items. These odd little sesame buns. Sweet and sour chicken (read: chicken nuggets and sauce). Some sort of tofu dish. Shrimp vermicilli.
Randomly, I’m offered a cup of hot and sour or egg drop soup.
**most exciting thing: real tea drinks. Bubble, milk teas with all sorts of authentic add ins like coffee and grass jelly, boba, «pudding» (goggle it, kids) etc.
The actual bbq is aight but to me its a bit salty. Still, this remains a popular lunch spot around mayfair for me. It’s always busy so I’d say others feel the same

I haven’t been to this place in years. Not because I don’t like it, but because of the same reason I haven’t been to a lot of restaurants… not enough time and not enough money to dine out for every meal every day of my life.
Over the years, there have been new players like Stir Crazy, FlaTop Grill, and BD’s, but Genghis Khan was doing this style of dining first in the Milwaukee area. They are still going strong. The only thing that prevents me from giving them a higher rating is the lack of options for building your own stir fry and the fact that the meats are frozen, but what they do provide gets the job done. Chicken, beef, pork, and sometimes lamb along with noodles lettuce, tomatoes, onions, green peppers, sprouts and a large selection of sauces is typically all I need. They also have a separate buffet set up with Chinese items including delicious Mongolian wings! Lunch is $ 8.50 and dinner is $ 10.50, so I think the value is there.
In a world of so many chain restaurants, it’s nice to see «the little guy» hold his own.

We started off shooting for Mexican at one of our old stomping grounds, but it was packed to the gills. So, we wound up back here. This always seems to be our stand by place.
It was pretty slow. For awhile we were the only table in the restaurant.
We both liked that we could customize our dishes. However, the frozen meat slices kind of freak me out. Chicken, pork or beef to vhoose from.
Like the fresh vegetables: mushrooms, zucchini, sprouts, carrots, cabbage and onions.
The sauces are good too. And they give suggestions. I liked the lemon and garlic.
Cooks are a bit surly.
Won ton soup was not very good at all. I didn’t even eat it.
The rest of the buffett= meh… Bourbon chicken was ok. The fried rice was kind of dull. Nothing too great and it didn’t seem overly fresh.
The fresh vegetables and meat were the best.
It’s a nice option for some freshly cooked mongolian BBQ.
Service was good and our patronage seemed to be appreciated.

I like this place. The Chinese buffet is greasy — just like you would expect and is a good option as an appetizer when waiting for your bowl. The mongolian bread and green beans are my two favorite items of any chinese buffet ever.
They don’t have a ton of BBQ items, but they are generally pretty fresh and tasty. Their sauces are pretty solid also — above average for Mongolian BBQ IMO.
The people who work here are assholes — but for the price and the yummy mongolian-​ness, I’ll let it slide.
The lunch deal is pretty cheap if I remember ($ 8?) but expect to get any work done after.
