    They give quite a bit of food for the large bowls!
    James R.

    I think I'm just not a huge fan of Mongolian bbq spots. I don't ever get the sauces right and it turns out to be a bit too bland for me. This spot was nice and close to my hotel, food and prices were good and the service was solid. I just didn't find it too tasty overall.

    Mongolian BBQ on Overland is my go-to--super fresh veggies and meats, a friendly crew that says hi like they know you, and flavor that honestly beats any other spot; the line's clean, sauces are easy to pick from, the grill adds that perfect smoky sear, portions are generous, and it's fast and customizable--highlights: **fresh**, **welcoming**, **killer flavor**, **clean**, **quick**, **big portions**, **great value**.

    I really like this place. The staff are happy and always make me feel welcome. The owner is especially friendly and talks with people coming in to eat. The sauces are full of flavor, much more than some of the other Mongolian BBQ places around town. I like it well enough that I normally eat here once a week. I also like the discounts offered to seniors and military service men and women. Oh, they have some good specials too. The Wednesday special is the one I like the best. Pay for a small bowl and get a medium. If you pay for a medium, you get a large.

    Not all Mongolian BBQ restaurants are the same. 1 Mongolian steps it up a bit. Yes, the ingredients are pretty much the same as other M-BBQ places in town, but perhaps they are a bit fresher here. Yes, the wok gets just as hot as other M-BBQ places, and here the whole cooking area is kept super clean and organized. Yes, they have lots of sauces, but here they keep the sauce area really clean. It's really nice. One thing that they do here (or allow you to do here) is to include more sauce with your food-stuff. Allow me to explain the proper procedure for a delicious M-BBQ meal... First, place our meat in the biggest bowl that they have. Don't skimp. Second, add your favorite veggies, and don't forget the peanuts. Third, add the noodles on top. You always end up with more noodles that what you expect, so don't worry about trying to pile up as high as you can. You'll have plenty. Fourth, fill up the bowl with sauce. I like the mongolian sauce, and the bbq sauce at this step. Keep adding sauce until you can see it rising up in your bowl. Fifth, add two scoops of hot oil. Add more if you want it spicier (duh). Sixth...and here is the special secret part... Get a small bowl, and fill it up with more sauce. For this step, I like to get the curry sauce. The chef will add this sauce to your meal after it cooks for a bit. I noticed that other M-BBQ places will squirt water on the meal about half way through when the original sauce cooks off, but here they let you get more sauce to add to the meal (instead of water), and I think that makes it cook up better and the end result is a better tasting meal. For us, this place is a bit out of the way, but we end up going here fairly often, just because we like it best! ========== My mood ring is missing, and I don't know how I feel about that.

    The place is not as clean as it used to be. The server hits on my daughter when we go. Creeps us out. We no longer go here.

    Food is okay, I think the veggies could be fresher. Also this place really needs a good cleaning. Server was very nice though.

Located in the quiet shops off Entertainment, CK Hawaiian BBQ touts they have the best Hawaiian food in Boise. I think there is potential but they need an entire makeover, from the space to the recipes. For one, the restaurant was not clean. The tables were grimy and the floor was oddly sticky. It felt like the place hadn't been properly cleaned in a long time. I ordered the Kalua Park Plate (savory pork with (or without) cabbage) with a side of macaroni and gravy ($8.45 for small), my husband the Chicken Katso also with a side of macaroni and gravy (panko breaded chicken breast, $9.55). We decided to take our food home. The second I opened the boxes, I was unimpressed. I'll spare you my very descriptive and unappetizing statement (something about the remarkable resemblance to wet cat food), but to be blunt, I was appalled. It was soggy mess of a few pieces of pork with way to much cabbage. I took one small bite and couldn't stomach anymore. Even my husband exclaimed "what the actual f***." The rest of the food wasn't the worst. The chicken katsu was breaded good but I was like where tf is the katsu sauce?! It wasn't anything special at all. At least it was edible. The macaroni salad was okay. It didn't taste very fresh, probably an old batch. I'm no Hawaiian food expert and based off their menu I got the impression that they're not aimed at providing traditional Hawaiian fare, but more so "inspired" fare. However, regardless of the origin of the food the fact remained that what I received tonight was terrible. Two stars, because the employees were very nice. And were very accommodating when we changed from dine-in to take-out.

What I didn't like: The Citrus Chicken was a bit of a miss for me, which is why I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5. It just didn't taste as fresh as I was expecting.

Either way, it won't stop me from coming back to try some of the other protein options, dressings, and toppings. If you haven't checked this place out yet, give it a try! There's plenty to choose from, and I'm looking forward to finding my perfect combination on my next visit.

We arrived around 5pm on a Thursday night to find the place empty. I was happy it was empty since it was my first time ordering; I wanted time to ask questions and linger at the all my choices through the buffet window. The person who served up our bowls was extremely knowledgeable and eager to offer his opinion on the food options. I decided on getting a side of pot stickers and a bowl with 1/2 brown rice, 1/2 noodles with chicken, cilantro, carrots, corn, broccoli, crunchy toppings with teriyaki sauce. Everyone was very friendly and our bowls looked visibly stunning. I used the app for points and apply pay but never received points through the app or a receipt to get points (huge bummer). Potstickers: 1/5 stars - The filling was tender but was actually cold inside. The wrappers were soggy, flavorless and the edges tasted stale. The dipping sauce was thin and barely coated the potstickers. Bowl: 2.5/5 stars - Brown rice and noodles were cooked well and nicely flavored. Really enjoyed the overall combo of flavors with a nice amount of teriyaki sauce. Chicken was nicely diced and tender. Very off-putting that the food was barely lukewarm. I was hoping for some warm food that didn't make me think it was mixed with bacteria in an incorrectly heated warmer. Service: 5/5 stars just for the guy who made my bowl like it was art. Cashiers were friendly but not happy about the points missing and no receipt offered. I don't know if we'll go again, but may give it another try if I know the food will be properly heated.
