About Mongos

Mongos is a popular stop in Merritt, known for its delightful dining experience. The restaurant's build-your-own stir fry remains a highlight, offering a large number of very healthy looking options, including beef, large frozen shrimp, chicken, and tofu, along with many fresh vegetables, cashews, and three types of noodles. Guests can choose what they want by weight and select a seasoning, with rice provided for free on the side. This flexibility allows vegetarians, vegans, and those with dietary restrictions, such as gluten-free, to customize their meals. The meals are quickly prepared and served, and the chefs do a great job of cooking the food, ensuring that everything is delicious. However, some reviews note that the grill may not be hot enough, leading to slightly overcooked meat and veggies without the desired char of a proper stir fry. Still, the veggies are cooked to a perfect al-dente with a bit of caramelization, and the thin meat soaks up the sauce nicely.

The atmosphere is warm and inviting, featuring a good dark wood aesthetic that adds to the experience. Although the noise level can be a bit higher due to the cooks being in the small dining area, it creates a lively noodle house feel. There are two tables outside with umbrellas for those who prefer to enjoy their meals in the mountain air and scenery. The restaurant is very clean and well laid out, and the staff is super friendly and always willing to help with any questions, making it a welcoming place for newcomers. There is also a great selection of drinks, including beers. Overall, Mongos offers delicious high-quality food, made-in-house sauces, and fresh produce, all at reasonable prices, making it a good choice for a meal in Merritt.
