Mongolie's Grill

What an awesome restaurant!!!!

My fiance and I went there for the first time Friday night. I had never been to that type of restaurant before and I thought it was just fantastic.

Essentially you make your own meal, you in the end determine the price by how big your eyes are, and the timing on everything was great. From the way the food was cooked, the waitressing, and the comfortable setting; it was perfect.

You are given a stainless steel bowl to fill up with whatever you want. Everything is raw right down to the meat. I didn't think it was very healthy when it was described to me but when I saw how everything is done. I thought it was a great idea. It's set up buffet style and when you get everything you want they weigh your bowl which tells you your cost. The average is usually between $9 and $15. Lol. My fiance's cost for $15, mine was $18. It's not a bad price and despite the fact that his had more meat, mine had lots of vegetables which took up more room. We had edamame for appetizers, which I think are my favorite now and they go awesome with beer due to the taste of salt, and dessert. You are taken a container of white rice and mouchoo wraps. (I''m not sure if I spelled that right). They are just a thin doughy wrap to put your food into if you choose to do so. There is no flavor to them and they do soak up your sauce in a hurry.

Dessert wasn't really needed. We definitely had our share of food but because we were more or less tasting everything...yeah, we endulged ourselves. My fiance had a cookies and cream chocolate fudge cake filled with mousse. I had cheesecake drizzled with chocolate and caramel and whipped cream ........yum. We sampled each other's and each was equally as good.

Based on prices of other restaurants and considering the amount of food (again, up to you how much) I think it was well worth it. The fact that it was a three course meal as opposed to only two, and two glasses of beer rather than one and a glass of water at other restaurants; the price worked out to be cheaper for us. Mind you next time we go it won't cost as much as this time.($82.00 including tip and taxes) Now we know how it works and there will definitely be a next time.

I'd definitely refer this restaurant to anyone. It is a setting that anyone can enjoy. Go dressed up or in jeans. Either way it is definitely my favorite spot to go.

For anyone reading this you should check out the site or google "Mongolie's." There are alternate locations.
