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.
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.
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).
I love picking my own meats, vegetables, noodles and sauces, then watching them cook your noodles into a tasty dish on the big round mongolian grill. I recommend getting 1 bowl for your noodle and sauces and one bowl for your meats and vegetables. The buffet section isn't anything special so i usually just stick with the noodles. The chocolate fondu and shaved ice is also a nice way to end the meal.
Good buffet for stir fry lovers. You grab your noodles or rice. Meats and veggies, choose a sauce and then they make it for you on a hot table. Not much variety after the stir fry.
I had a unique experience at this place! The buffet offered a large selection including dessert which included a chocolate fountain.
You pick your own meats, veggies, noodles and sauces in a bowl. Cooks there then cook the food for you in front of your eyes on a giant hot stove.
Its wide range of food is perfect for vegetarians and meat-eaters.
Amazing!! come here!!. This place is amazingly clean, huge variety, wonderful service, great value for money. They have a chocolate fonude fountain for dessert...there's something wrong with you if you're not here in the next 10 minutes. Unless you live really far away.
Ģreat food and fun as well. The was fresh and lot of selection. Watching the food being grilled was interesting. We recognized a few people from the now closed markham location.
The food was good. It is always entertaining to watch your food being prepared. Clean and well ordered. Clean washrooms, which are not always the case with Chinese buffets.
Awesome buffet & Mongolian grill. Lots of choice, fresh & clean. Dessert was fabulous with good quality chocolate fondue & shaved ice! Aka Snow Cones!! Just a delight to eat here. :)
Amazing food with a lot of choice and so fresh
Healthy and delicious. Make your own healthy stir fry with tons of different things to add. Chocolate fountain too!
My own design would be a pile of beef and pork, with calamari, shrimp and squid balls, a generous heap of spinach, mushrooms, thin egg noodles, onions, cilantro, carrots, sesame seeds and garlic. The sauces, I always had soy sauce, hoisin, sugar water, seafood water, sesame oil and chili oil. Whew! Now that I see that I had way too much ingredients, I recommend that you start it easy with ready-made sauces which were available too.
I only had my eye on the chocolate fountain. The strawberries were sweet and once the chocolate hardened it was even better.
Being the unofficial social coordinator of my team at work, I usually get to choose the restaurant where we eat our team lunches! I try to accomodate everyone, as there are vegetarians and people that don't like ethnic food on my team. I figured Mono
