I've tried all the different "bbq grill" type restaurants across this nation and Mongolian in Stillwater is the best. Always very fresh ingredients, especially up at the grill. It is "do it yourself" style so there isn't any predetermined recipes or other people mixing your plate. It is all up to you. The buffet is loaded up with several good options as well. Big salad bar and fruit/dessert options. The owner/manager regularly stop by the tables to chat with customers and is such a great guy, has great stories too.

This is one of my family's favorite places to go. Of all the Mongolian BBQ places available, I would say they are the most consistent. The sauces, meats and other ingredients are always good. The rest of the buffet checks the typical Chinese buffet items, cheese wontons, sweet and sour soup, fried fish, dumplings, etc. The chicken wings are pretty good for a buffet. The service is always good, they usually remember our drink orders and are on top of filling the drinks while taking the used plates. The space is large, so you're not feeling too crushed in. I also love the music, as it has a good variety of Asian music that I usually listen to.

The price isn't bad for a buffet and they stress on the least amount of food waste to help costs, which is completely valid. They had pretty good options for different foods to pick and a grill areas to make your own bowl to be cooked right in front of you. Definitely good for a chill quick eats while in town. Our server was really good about keeping drinks filled and getting empty plates cleared.

Each year we go out to eat at an Asian restaurant to celebrate New Year's Day. This year, we chose the Mongolian BBQ. There is an extensive buffet with multiple stations - so many choices! The custom-cooked section had a great variety of meats, vegetables, and seasonings. The chef perfectly cooked the items I selected. The only thing that was challenging was that we picked a booth near the door and the cold breeze was a bit jarring every time someone left. We should have moved after the first time the door opened.

This was my first trip for lunch to the Mongolian grill. As I entered the establishment I was greated by aromas of meat with a hint of peanuts and garlic. The place was packed so that's a good sign the food was good. I started off with the buffet that had something for everyone then after a few items I went to the grill and loaded up my bowl. The cook was extremely good and the food came out just right. It was a an event just watching the grill chef work and the seasoning was good that was added and he made sure to add enough sauce so the meat was not dry. This was a pleasant experience and I will be making sure to go back again.

Nice buffet selection. Large variety of fresh fruits, salads, sushi, appetizers, main dishes, sides and they have the build your own dish they cook right in front of you. Quality of food is pretty good. Large variety. On this visit the dumplings were cold and the sushi was dried out so I gave it 4 stars. I actually didn't even eat my sushi because it had a strong fish odor that was not appetizing. The fruit was perfect. I would defiantly go back. It may have been an off night for some of the dishes. It's incredibly muggy and hot so it may be throwing off some dishes. The ice cream machine is always a must! And it always works! Grabbing a twist cone for the drive home is a must.

Fresh stir fry, large buffet, cheap prices - 4 stars! FRESH STIR FRY If you're into fresh and healthy, the stir fry area in the back corner is a mandatory stop. They have beef, pork, 2 chicken meats (light and dark), in addition to tons of fresh veggies and ladles with sauces and oils. Yum! BUFFET They have a big buffet area in back. The food is about what you expect from a standard Chinese buffet...lots of overcooked mediocre stuff. But...there's a HUGE variety of it. They have a soft serve ice cream area too. You're sure to find something you like. There's so much of it, so much variety, and so cheap - it's really hard to complain about anything. DISLIKE The only thing I really disliked was the sushi. They only had a few varieties and it's was pretty bad. I'd say they should either upgrade this area or just skip it altogether. As it stands, it's subpar. PRICE Even though the food isn't 5 stars, you can't beat the prices. The lunch buffet was a mere $11.48 including beverages and tax. That's less than a McDonald's #1 Big Mac Meal. And you get unlimited food! SERVICE Last but not least, the service was excellent. Thumbs up! - Maxx
