It came up on my Instagram and it looked really good. So when I made the California trip I decided to go down and try it. The options were limited for what seasoning you wanted to out in it, it was more on the sweet side. It was cash only and almost no seating available. Over all I’ve had so much better in other places and it was disappointing. They give a lot of food but overpriced. It was the same price as some Mongolian buffets

Subpar service trying to order. You order and then the person running the register goes to a side room and comes back with your meat. Very suspicious where the meats are plated.

The area where the veggies and sauces are is where this whole thing breaks down. There’s ONE COMMUNAL PAIR OF TONGS. Everyone touches and use that to load up on all veggies. And I mean EVERYONE. Just one pair.

That’s just not sanitary at all.

Bypassing that, the whole thing is just dirty and lacking refills.

The sauces is the only area that has allocated ladles for each one.

Standing here waiting for my food to be cooked. I’m seeing that it looks like they’re cooking with a piece of wood from an old table leg or something.

I hope I don’t regret following this “rec” from instagram.

Place doesn't open until 3 pm and closes at 8 pm and is cash only. Don't waste your time trying to come during lunch hours.

An honest review based on being led on by social influencers and the restaurant's Instagram itself, on a nice bright September. Unfortunately even their Google and Yelp hours aren't updated so if you came before 3pm you're greeted to locked doors as only finding out about their new hours by digging through their Instagram.

If you came here based on a few local influencers and their Instagram Reels and TikToks, don't be fooled while the portions are a good size, quantity isn't quality no matter how good they say it is and it definitely not bang for your buck. The cashier, sad. The one and only grill cook doing his best to deal with the long line, bottle necked at the topping stations. The atmosphere is sadder than your average hole-in-the-wall joint.

We all know how the drill works for Mongolian style grills, you pick your protein and tower as many vegetables till you can, how you prepare it is how it'll taste. In this case all ingredients are quite bland and stale, even the vegetables don't seem as well kept with a sad single serving tong, everyone in line seems to forget returning it for no one to use. And when I mean a single tong, I mean it. One entire tong for everything at the topping station leaving such a bottle neck of line flow, you'll be standing, waiting your turn for the one sad tong.

Food, because that's what everyone's here for. For the most out of your dollar in today's economy and don't get me wrong, We are all out here hustling to keep our tummys full. No matter how much toppings to try and bring out flavor, mixture, combination of topping to sauces. Each time it just comes out bland, so bland you're eating for fill but for satisfaction this ain't it no matter how many social influncers praise it for pay, It leaves the mouth for more to be desired. You'll get better tasting ingredients from your local Ghengis Khan mall chain for around the similar price they charge here if you need comparison.

Service; irrelevant in this case. You're here to grab and go. Nice or not, it's not relevant for this review.

Overall; there are better places with the same style for around the same cost or even just a little bit more nearby. Don't fall for this place's Instagram and it's bought followers and views, and don't fall for the paid Influencers saying how amazing this place is. If it can't can't take the minimal effort to update its online hours or even provide a 2nd tong at the topping stations, it won't make the effort to make you feeling satisfied with flavor for your buck.
