Genghis Khan is great for groups. If you have a birthday or family dinner, it's suitable for…read moreeveryone. You can be as fussy or adventurous as you like, picking you meat, vegetables, noodles, sauce and oil, then the chefs cook it on the round barbecue for you. They also have a buffet with hot chips, fried rice, salads, sushi and bread etc. For dessert they have pancakes and icecream. Be sure to book for large groups or on weekend nights, it can get really busy and you can queue for a while to get your food barbecued.

I probably would never have come here had it not been for a soccer team dinner where someone else…read morechose the venue. What a pleasant surprise. Buffet eating is not really my thing but the kids LOVE IT. So much so that I found myself making a booking for 22 people on a Friday night for my son's 10th birthday. Unfortunately we were seated outside in the covered courtyard which is so loud you can't hear yourself think. Add 14 kids and get yourself several large alcoholic beverages. The pricing here is amazing value (those other buffet restaurants could learn a thing or two), with adults costing $25 and kids $5 plus $1 for every year i.e. a 10 year old costs $15. The food on offer here is actually really good and as a semi-vegetarian, I never imagined I would be saying that about a Mongolian BBQ restaurant. There's always two soups, usually meat-free and really tasty. Garlic bread to go with. Mmmmm. The salad bar is fresh and includes everything I would want - boiled eggs, beetroot, pickles, olives, red onions etc and a good choice of dressings. There's also pasta and potato salads plus a few other as well. Then there's the hot selection: fried noodles, a really oily but delicious fettucine, various veggies, tortilla chips, mini spring rolls, pastries..... see what I mean? A LOT of choice here. Oh yeah, and that Mongolian BBQ thing. True, you have to select your ingredients and wait in the line but this is all part of the fun (Jesus it's a FIIIIIRE! Somebody IS barbecuing). There's everything you could want for your barbecued meal and it's all really fresh looking and again, serious value - shrimps, chicken, beef, pretty much every kind of animal you might want to get cooked and put on your plate. You can also wait in line for fresh pancakes for dessert and my only gripe is the manky water the ice cream scoops sit in. There's probably no way to avoid this as I know they do replace it regularly and being able to scoop their own ice cream and add their own assortment of toppings is another reason to bring your children here. It's noisy, busy and there will absolutely be kids underfoot that are perhaps a little over-excited, but just look at their little faces - they are having the best time! You can't be grumpy about that. Just go, it's reeeeeeally good for what it is.

From meat, vegetables, sauces, salads, breads and soups, to pancakes and ice cream, the buffet…read morespread at Gengis Khan has got to be one of the most extensive I have seen! As the name suggests, it's named after the Mongolian warrior, Genghis Khan. The food itself isn't Mongolian, but apparently this is how Genghis Khan fed his army after a brutal battle. Fun fact, huh? The basic concept of the Mongolian BBQ is simple. First, you fill a bowl up with raw meats (namely chicken, beef, lamb, and seafood), vegetables, sauces, oils and noodles. I'm not too much of a meat expert but I thought their meats were of fairly good quality. Then, you take it up to the chefs manning the huge hotplate in the middle of the restaurant, and watch them cook your selection to perfection (hey, that rhymed)! There is also fried rice and white rice available, as well as garlic bread, baked root vegetables and soups. For the vegetarians out there, not only do they have a wide range of vegetables that can be cooked by the chefs, there are plenty of fresh selections at the salad bar. To round your meal off, you can get the chefs to dish you up a pancake. If you ask nicely, they might even be able to make you one in the shape of Mickey Mouse. The pancakes are probably my highlight of the dining experience - super fluffy and they also have a variety of toppings and ice cream which you can put on them. The downside of this place is that it is quite small and it does get very busy. There will be times where you have to wait a while for the chef to cook your meal - my longest wait was nearly 30 minutes! Overall, the atmosphere of Gengis Khan is exciting, although a little noisy at times. Considering that you can eat all to your heart's content, the price is quite reasonable. It is a casual, family-friendly restaurant, so it's definitely more suited for family gatherings. I frequented this place quite often during my high school years, but I feel like I've 'grown out of it'... mainly because most of their patrons are either families or large groups of teenagers. Just make sure that you go hungry!
