The food was fresh and delicious. I love the freebies that come with the meal. And it was pretty clean inside so thats always a plus.

My meal was pretty good. I was ready write a more positive review, then asked for a box to take home what remained of my dinner. Was told I had to pay $.50 for a box. Seriously! That kind of ticky-tack stuff just makes me angry. For that reason, I will likely not return. read more

The house special was delicious! I got the dark chicken with extra spice and it was perfect. Unfortunately the chicken egg roll had an overpowering taste that just didn't fit.(seemed like nutmeg) I think I'll eat here again and just skip the egg roll read more

Had a great meal. Yelp is complaining it's too short so here's a pasted poem. O Ancient One, your web hangs down from the pines. I am of the Owl clan. I have been to water, my dress is of red clay. He moves at the edge of you, binds us with your threads. The center of his soul shall be my soul's center. Our paths shall be white forever. Where we move the paths from every direction shall recognize each other. We are one never to be parted. read more

Great place for Mongolian BBQ, you can pack your bowl with whatever you want from an assortment of fresh veggies and frozen strips of meat. There are a bunch of different sauces and toppings you can add before and after they cook it for you! Nice and fresh! Reasonably priced. Get the regular bowl, pack it down, and pay fifty cents for a to go box. You can get two meals out of it! Yummy! read more

For the most part, if you've been to one Mongolian grill you've been to them all - but there are a few little things that separate this one from the pack. The ingredient selection was nice and service was quick... they have one of those fancy beverage stations that allow you to create thousands of flavor combinations and the floors / bathrooms were clean which is something in this area. We needed a place for our team to eat before going to Castles n' Coasters for our team builder and this place ended up being perfect. If I'm ever in this area again needing a lunch I'll totally come back! read more

This Mongolian bbq was really good. They had a good choice of meat and vegetables for your bowl and they cooked it really fast. The only thing I didn't like was their sweet and spicy soup, it had a weird taste. My husband didn't like it either. Other than that, the bbq was just the way I like it and they had good unsweetened tea :) read more

Full disclosure, I've been going to this place (now on at least the third owner) off and on for the better part of the last decade, so I've seen more or less the full spectrum. With that in mind, you can imagine that I was elated to see they'd opened up again, after the previous iteration folded some months back. Mongolian BBQ places are one of those things where you don't always have the craving, but when you do, there's really no substitute that will fill the void and you've just gotta have it. That said, tonight we decided to give in to withdrawal cravings and the wife and I made the drive down to try out the latest incarnation of an old favorite. First things first, from the outside at least, there's virtually no change. I don't even think they've (perhaps I should say 'yet') changed the signage at all on the building. I suppose big fat letters that say "Mongolian BBQ" leave little to the imagination so perhaps it doesn't need to change, and it at least gave me some hope that what I would find inside still echoed part of what I liked about the last incarnation. To put it lightly, I was not disappointed. Yes, there's a fancy new menu board above the cash register, as opposed to paper signage, and yes, they have a fancy new Square terminal rather than yesteryear's point of sale system, along with hand sanitizer dispensers in at least three places, but the heart and soul is still there. You still have ye old buffet line, trays, then bowls, then meats, followed by all the usual add on suspects as well as a few new additions, followed by the noodles (again, old favorites and new choices here). So far so good, this was pretty much the same place I remembered and I was happy to see that while changes were made, it was much of the same at its core. As far as difference, one thing that stands out as being notably absent is the mural along the back wall and some of the tackier wall art. The mural was cool, but to be fair, I think I like it better with a clean slate, now that I've seen it. Also, to borrow a phrase I've become fond of, there is a significant increase in the hipster quotient at this place vs. its previous incarnations. I am not speaking of the staff so much as the patrons. Never in all my years visiting have I seen so many douches with snow caps and jackets on indoors, sporting the now ubiquitous millennial beard, skinny jeans and wide rimmed glasses. For some reason, most of them were staring at everyone else coming in too, and watching the rest of us put our bowls together. Based on the tofu content they had going on, I'm hoping they were judging us for our omnivorous ways and not undressing us with their eyes, but who can say anymore? I'll leave that one up to the imagination of the reader, but if the hipster scene turns you off, consider yourself warned. A couple interesting things to note, which you encounter once the food is cooked up, would be that they've added a new array of soups to the lineup, apparently alternating daily. I was never a huge soup fan, but this time my wife and I tried both the chicken and the spicy soup. Both were good, and I'd likely get them both again in the future, but no real preference between them. If you like spicy soup that packs a punch, you may be disappointed, but flavor wise it was pretty good. I'm not a spicy food person, so I was actually happy that it had very little punch. Additionally, the drink station that follows has been completely redone. There's a new, massive, touch screen operated soda machine now. Yes, that's right, touch screen, so you are by now probably starting to appreciate the copious amounts of hand sanitizer available in this place. It's not too awkward to figure out how to use the machine, and you have some pretty cool choices (Coke with orange? That's a first for me, but it was good!). Last but not least, as a few have noted, yes, the prices have gone up markedly from the prior incarnation of this place. By markedly I mean several dollars, and given that it was under $10 before, though it is little in absolute terms, relatively speaking, it's a notable increase. Yes, drinks are included as part of that, but at the end of the day, the same two people ordering the same two large bowls and same two drinks they always had are paying closer to $30 than $20 like they used to, including the tip and taxes in both instances. On a personal note, I couldn't care less about the cost, because it's a drop in the bucket for most of us and, seriously, if you can't afford to drop extra first full of dollars, you shouldn't be eating out in the first place. That said, to those who to whom it matters, yeah, it'll cost you more if you want to relive last year's Mongolian experience, but for me, it was totally worth it. I would gladly pay a premium to have this place back in the rotation, especially given that they've made some pretty decent improvements. Would I go back? Absolutely. Thrilled to have an old favorite back! read more

I honestly did not think I would like the food, but I was wrong. The food was delicious and the employees were super friendly and helpful with creating my first plate. I will definitely be back! read more

All you can eat $12.75 drinks and ice cream included. Not luxurious but certainly practical. Rust time here and will come back! Great price and food was wonderful read more

This place is amazing! Tons of food for the price. Definitely worth it. Similar to YC's but closer. Definitely going to eat here again and again. read more

I didn't ask before adding sauce to my bowl but learned it had fish sauce in it before I ate it. I'm allergic to fish! They let me get a brand new bowl at no additional cost. I'm thankful for missing that close call and for the excellent service I received. read more

I took my Son and His wife and there children there for lunch on August 4th. It was very clean and the food was fresh, cooked hot. There was a large assortment of toppings available. The soups, rice were fresh and the yogurt was a great hit for the end of the meal. I highly recommend this establishment for fresh, safe, hot food at a reasonable price. Ed, the owner (he is indeed a working owner... always great to see his smile) was his usual pleasant self. I bought a to-go box for my leftovers and he said "the only place in town that has a 50cent lunch". Thanks again Ed. I will be back. read more

Wasn't very good. And here's what I mean, flavor wasn't good, the cook uses a lot of water, not a huge variety of sauces, and afterwards my stomach felt horrible and bloated. Never again for me. read more

Hidden Mongolian spot near the metro mall. First time customer (ordered take out, using the restaurants website) We thought it was delicious! Everything was perfectly packaged for a safe travel home - no spills! Really hope more people keep this great place going all through Covid. 10/10 recommend!! Thanks for the good eats! read more

I would give No Star if I could. We ordered take for $40 and had it delivered for DoorDash. This is the WORST GARBAGE food I have ever had in my life. We couldn't eat it after two bites it went in the trash. I don't consider myself to be a picky eater at all. Stay away from this place. read more

Food was good. All in our group would return here. The all you can eat option allows you to choose smaller portions so multiple flavor varieties can be tried. Mainly self serve. read more

100% celiac safe, while still being delicious. My husband is not a fan of veggies, and he can die happy having been able to make his bowl with only noodles and beef. Lots of fresh veggies for me to choose from and the rice noodles were perfect. The owner was kind enough to walk us through the process and made sure we had a great experience. I loved having the freedom to create my own meal, right down to the sauces used. We are looking forward to going back. read more

Been coming to this place for a little over 18 years the past owners we're always very friendly prices were always good went there today because I was craving it and the prices are insane almost $13 a bowl the gentleman at the register was the owner I asked him and he said because minimum wage went up his prices went up and they'll go up again next year way too pricey for the area it seems like portion sizes or smaller the new owner was rude after I had question why the prices had come up so much when I had been a frequent customer he began to slam things around very unprofessional will not get my business ever again good luck read more

Great food. Friendly service. The staff is REALLY happy to be back to work. super clean. Great value! I'm happy they are still here!

I'm a bad Yelper today. Hunger got the best of me and I didn't take pics. Next time I promise. New ownership, inside facelift, menu tweaking, new awesome Coke Freestyle machine. Great prices for small and large bowls alike. Chicken, beef, dark and white meat chicken and pork. A huge veggie selection. Yellow, red and green peppers, water chestnuts, onion, baby corn, noodles. Just to mention a few. Great selection of sauces and spices. If your new to this, go with the directions on the sign for sauce creations. Very tasty, highly recommend. read more

I saw new ownership and knowing that it was formerly AJ's - I and the family decided to stop on in. The layout is pretty similar, however the pricing on the electronic board includes soft drink and ice cream. The owner was prrsent and he allowed my daughters (age 7 and 5) to split as they hardly eat and mainly just pick at the food and crunch on the fried won ton strips dunked in sweet and sour sauce. The food was fresh, and the restaurant was clean with friendly staff. The owner is very personable and professional as well as taking a lot of pride in his new establishment. I wish for the best and successfulness of this business - whenever we crave Mongollian I will not hesitate to go here as W.valley Mongollian establishments are more rare than antyhing and don't get me started on the over priced and wannabe hipster locale such as Ghengis. read more

Yum yum yum yum! I didn't want to stop eating it was so good. The House Sauce was delicious. I got the small bowl and I had lots of leftovers. I can imagine the big bowls will satisfy the biggest of appetites. For me, this is the ultimate comfort food. Hit the spot! I just wish we had this place in Utah. We will definitely come back when we visit Phoenix again. read more

Good place in an almost desolate shopping mall. Great if you like all you can eat. Choices appeared fresh

One of my favorite foods to take home. Fresh,good quality & you can load as much as you can to your bowl. Reasonable price.My advice: please, sell soups to take home :) read more

Everything you need and dim sum haha. Unlimited for $12 which includes unlimited fried rice and soup. The rice and soup are just edible meh, stir fry is decent. Every sauce and condiment you would need. Would go back. read more

Great find, super clean and friendly. Lots of fresh vegetables, fresh pork,chicken white/dark/beef and tofu. Love the sauce selections. They have their suggested recipes on a board. There are two fresh soups and wonton strips. End your meal with a cone or bowl of soft-serve ice cream. You know it's good as we have seen both the police and firemen dining there. Not a chain, owner usually present, nice and friendly. Give them a try and support a local business. SUPER Clean and fresh ingredients. Delicious! read more

Very limited stuff for a Mongolian place.. n they charge for everything as extra. Even for eggs ‍

This place is awesome! Best Mongolian BBQ in town. We drive here from the NW valley just to eat here once a week!!

My family has been visiting this restaurant for almost 20 years, through all of the management changes and little differences that come with each new company. Blazin has really made this place special again! I like how they include the drink, rice, soup and ice cream in the price. The ingredients seem more fresh and of better quality than before. I love the new sauce choices! This is quickly becoming my new place to eat (again!). Keep up the great work! read more

Our family loves coming here. They are very accommodating for celiac and gluten free needs. It's always kept clean and have great improvements happening every time we go in. read more

It has been a hot minute since we came here however I remember I started the review and why. We have eaten Mongolian food all over. Well Mongolian stir fry as I highly doubt this is an accurate representation of Mongolian food. Anyway. We have kinda become picky Mongolian stir fry/ bbq (also confusing as the is no bbq) snobs. This one was great. The sauces stayed flavorful, unlike several of them that water them down which I get, but I don't get. There was an ample selection of items for your plate. The price was good. And you get ice cream... what's not to love. Also this was the first time I saw the paper smash method. You know when you go to these places it's like trying to play tetris with your bowls. Squeeze the chicken between the noodles cuz the noodles will fill the space that the frozen curled meat has around it. So... here they have sheets of paper so you can Just squash your food with your hand instead if trying to gingerly do it. It looks hilarious and if you are new to Mongolian whatever... it appears a little disconcerting. But it is a great idea. Me? I just prefer to come back floor a second round if I need to. read more

Good spot with friendly service, good prices, and some unique perks (soft-serve!). My only feedback would be to serve the food on large plates instead of bowls. In bowls all of the sauces sit at the bottom of the bowl and the food in the top half is bland. If it was all served on plates the sauces are more equally distributed and the meal would be more flavorful. read more

Honestly not impressed at ALL, the noodles were way to hard, and I think it's way overpriced for the quality of veggies they're putting out. Definitely not coming back. read more

The best Mongolian BBQ place in town. Used to be YCs. New items on the line like snow peas and kale, New tasty sauces like Blazin Thai and great service from the entire staff. There are also two choices for soup - chicken veggie every day and hot and sour or egg drop. They also have a mix your own drinks Coke machine. You won't be disappointed. read more

Don't eat for the entire day, then go here and get the all you can eat goodness for under 15 bucks. Place is at least as good as yc's, I would eat here more often if it was closer. Got a beef bowl, then a pork bowl. So very good! The soup was luke warm and the drink machine was gross and tasted liked all the sodas were mixed together. I would ditch the modern drink machine and get one of the classic ones. Overall the fresh cooked bbq is totally worth it! read more

outstanding business model, great value and very authentic. service and food is off the chain

They changed ownership again, this would be the fourth if I'm correct. They added new sauces which I really like, white meat chicken, no turkey however, they raised the price from $9:01 to $12.22 and try to justify it by including the drinks but I only drink water with my food, it's the healthy way and I put a very small amount of meat if any since I am a plant based eater. I guess they don't cater to healthy eating. So I unless they change their fee structure, adios amigos, sayonara, arrivederci, au revoir! read more

Delicious. Lots of veggie options. SOS, Vegetarian & Vegan friendly. Bike rack out front. Free wifi. Pokémon pokestop.

No to go boxes, for someone who does not ever eat all their food in one sitting this is just ridiculous. My food was spicy despite me putting nothing spicy on it. My food was cooked after my husband's which his was spicy. You should clean the grill between orders. The people were not rude but were not welcoming or host like at all. Will never return. On another note, the restroom was clean! **update** The Owner reached out and as i previously stated there was nothing wrong with the service of the employees, other than if you are going to do a customer service job you should focus more on your customers. I am a supervisor for customer service that is owned by a multi billion dollar drug company and I would fire my employees if they did not try to connect with people, greet them, offer any assistance graciously and most of all make sure there is nothing more that the customer needs prior to ending their experience with the company. Your sign needs to be updated if you charge for a box as it clearly states "no to go boxes". Suggestion: create a policy where a customer would have to show their receipt to purchase a to go box, to ensure they did in fact purchase one of the bowl sizes. As for my food I understand that your employees " have no problem cleaning the grill" it should be standard practice it does not take very long to throw water and a grill rag on there to wash away the last person's meal. A customer should not have to address this concern as i remember seeing a sign requesting if a person has food allergies to let the staff know, if it is standard practice to clean the grill after every order you would not run the risk of a person having an allergic reaction and your any added liability would cease to exist. I am not interested in returning as once I have a perception of a person, place or thing any follow up experience would be tainted and would be unfair to try as I would not want to add negativity towards your restaurant. I have added an additional star as you have graciously reached out to me. I hope feedback helps you improve your customer interactions and make your business more successful. read more
