Pretty good concept for a DIY-choose-it-yourself-then-have-them-cook-it-for-you deal. You're charged per bowl of food, so stuff it as high and dense as you so wish. All the sauces are on the side. There is also soup, rice, kimchi, pineapples, and some sort of dessert given with the meal. Beer prices are pretty stellar at $3.95 compared to most other restaurants going from $4.50-$7.00 a bottle. Would recommend and revisit.

After visiting their Downtown counterpart a couple of times, and being thrilled by the create-your-own-food experience, I decided to introduce my friends to Mongolian BBQ as well. We chose the Kits restaurant due to its proximity to UBC (we are all students there).
The concept is simple: You take a bowl, fill it up with a combination of vegetables, noodles and meat, spice it with some flavored oils and sauces, and have it fried on a large wok. You choose what to eat, how much, and in what ratio. They have a chart of a few sauce combinations to help you along, but really, you just have to taste your way through it.
They also serve accompaniments of rice, bread, soup and a small cream-filled "puff" for dessert.
And the best part is, for $16-17, you can eat as much as you want! It's a tad pricier than the branch in Downtown, but it's also in a bigger and better location, and the interiors don't look as much hole-in-the-wall-y. They also seemed better prepared to handle large groups.
The place looks roomy but can get enormously crowded, and you may find yourself waiting in the line for ever! Weekend evenings would not be the best time to go if you dislike waiting while hungry.
Pro tip #1: Add the noodles last. They take up a lot of space in the bowl, and fills you up really fast.
Pro tip #2: Pile up your bowl. Once the veggies and meats are cooked, they shrink in size, so you're really not going to eat as much as it looks like when it's raw.
Pro tip #3: It gets very crowded, and the single guy at the grill is often unable to keep up with the orders. A simple thing you can do, is to line up 2 bowls. That way, by the time you have eaten the first one, the second one is ready as well!
Pro tip #4: Lunch AYCE is a little cheaper. But if you had planned to go for the AYCE, and you couldn't eat more than one bowl, you can just indicate that when you pay your bill at the end of the meal - you will be charged for just the one bowl!
Yummy Mongolian BBQ. I've been going to this place for over 10 years and I'm still quite happy with it. Originally it was called the Great Wall Mongolian BBQ it changed to Mongo's a couple years back and now its called just Mongolian BBQ I think? I've been to the mongoli grill and a couple other Mongolian BBQ places and the food is basically the same. The only difference is mongo's has the lowest prices. Of course this comes at the cost of decor and service. But the food is just as good tasting as Mongolie grill.
I'm not surprised at the comments of bad service, as it has gone through troubles and changed hands a few times over the years. But all in all I find the service good enough just don't expect your food immediately when they are busy. Try to come when they aren't too busy and you'll be eating a hot cooked meal within 3 mins of walking in with a good large portion of quality food.
This has been one of my tried, tested, and true favorite places for lunch and dinner over the last 10 years! You add meat and veggies to make your own stirfry creation. It's fun, very reasonable price for the amount of food you will eat, and always great friendly staff. Awesome!!
Favourite!. I really like Mongo's. Whenever I have gone in the staff was really friendly, talkative, and helpful. Water and Rice were brought out promptly. They get to know the regulars and always ask how I am and my family. I've been going there for the last 5 or 6 years or so and it has only improved in style, decor, and service. The only complaint might be that if it is busy, it can take a while for your food to come..... but if there are 12 bowls in front of yours and you are in a rush - maybe you shouldn't eat there. Overall the place is great value ($10 for veggie bowl) and enough food for two days. My suggestion - put your noodles on the top to allow more room! and if you get meat, flatten it with the tongs, it will shrink during cooking!
