The food is good because you picked what goes in it. The food is Great because of the guys cooking it up! They are talented and deserve big respect and big tips. I am so grateful that we have had Hi Ho Mongolian Grill for all these years. The price is so reasonable and the variety of ingredients is plentiful. Also the ambiance is casual top forty hits from 80's and 90's and clean tables and chairs. read more

Hi Ho Mongolian Grill - Build your own Bowl - Chinese Near Me - Davenport, Iowa

Area around food dirty & extremely sticky. Place was turned into health department. Management not helpful.

I've come here twice now, and both times have always been consistent. If you don't know what mongolian barbecue is, it's when you get a bowl and put whatever you want in it (noodles, meat, veggies, sauces) and they grill it on a large surface. In a way, it's kind of like hibachi, but not really. There is also an option for an AYCE, but also just a single bowl too. A small one costs around $10.50 and the larger one costs around $11ish (might be wrong). You can also order a side of rice and/or soup which is now extra. In all honesty, I think the bowl itself is enough, but the rice and also help lessen the saltiness. The reason I gave this place a 4 star is because the ingredient bar could be more stocked up. There wasn't a lot of beef, and I was stuck with crumbs, and even though I could've waited I had come with 10 other people and didn't want to hold up the line. Other than that, it's an amazing experience and a nice meal especially for the cold. read more

Hi Ho Mongolian Grill - two bowls of noodles with meat and vegetables - Chinese Near Me - Davenport, Iowa

See all

This place was okay. It was a HuHot wannabe or HuHot Lite. Drab interior and tables. Tuesday menu did not include any fish, shrimp, or even artificial crab (surimi). read more

Hu Hots equivalent to McDowel's. Sort of a weird place to be. The food was sort of bland and not wonderful..:but that might've been my own fault. I probably won't come back. Not because it was bad, but because there are so many better restaurants for the price read more

This place rocks great place to stop in for a quick meal! The egg noddles are the best in town too! I get alot of mandarin oranges and stock up on meat with a bowl called "The Barbarian". It's the largest one. ;) read more

Hi Ho Mongolian Grill - a bowl of food - Chinese Near Me - Davenport, Iowa

Watch out or they will overcharge you, first off they tried charging my child for an adult price. She said she fixed it so ran my credit card but then she undercharged me so I ran my credit card again. I tried talking to her asking if both charges were correct and she told me yes 2 adults and one child. After leaving and adding up both tickets she overcharged me 8 dollars. Beware they don't speak much English so I guess they play dumb. Will be reporting to my credit card company. read more

All I can say is take some enzymes and pray before you eat! extremely extremely dirty from the front door to the bathroom to the tables. Lord help us. read more

So I've been going to this restaurant for a while now and it's been getting worse with this girl she's a cook and I just got her name last week. Her name is Meta she will not stop cussing in front of customers like that's a normal thing to do, but I let them know, but I don't think it's gained the ears of the big bosses. My son went to the bathroom and right next to it, is where they get the drinks from the pop machine and she was shaking her butt, and this black gentleman was smacking it. That is so inappropriate doing work hours. I now know his name is David. My son witnessed that, so if anybody can help me get information who I can contact to get to the big bosses ears, cause I don't think they're doing anything about it. read more

Best food in the QC!! I am absolutely obsessed!! The food and service are great and somehow the food is even better as left overs!

This was a unique experience. The first time I had tried Mongolian cuisine was here. For those of you who do not know, Mongolian cuisine operates in its own unique way. You select all the ingredients that you want in your food in their raw form, and they'll cook it for you on an absolutely huge 6 foot-diameter hot plate while you wait! I went here about five times while I lived in the Quad Cities, and once took my lovely girlfriend on a date there. P.S.: This is a place where your eyes can easily be bigger than your stomach, but they'll let you take the leftovers home. read more

BEST PLACE. Born and raised in the Quad Cities, I can confidently say this place has been a culinary staple of my youth and early adulthood. Every time I venture back home I find myself squeezing in a much needed bowl of nostalgia and unparalleled cuisine. Hi Ho Mongolian Grill is the neighborhood hotspot for reasonably priced, unique stir fry, in a comfortable casual setting. My recommendation is to always get the "barbarian" sized bowl, its more than enough for that sitting, and you'll find that the leftovers you acquire are actually more delicious reheated the next day. Best place in the Quad Cities, hands down. read more

Hi Ho Mongolian Grill - a bowl of noodles - Chinese Near Me - Davenport, Iowa

Of the types of Mongolian places like this, I love it. It's one of my favorite places to go, and I've been coming here for almost 10 years. It's a buffet line where you choose your ingredients and then add your sauces, then they cook it down. I've been to create-your-own stir fry places and it's not the same. I am taking off one star because another reviewer commented about being overcharged for take out, because I think I've experienced the same (although... if I get the Barbarian, and it fits into one container, then that's a problem, because it's twice as the small bowl). Also, I think my upcharge was like $1. But still, principle. Here's what I do for the sauces, just as a fwiw - I start with their "recommendation" for the size I'm using, and then add to it. Depending on what I add to it, affects how it tastes, and I've never been unhappy with how my food has come out. Also, an important consideration for me is food that still tastes good reheated - in some cases I think Mongolian Grill tastes better reheated! Because of the nature of the restaurant, it cross-contamination would be a problem due to allergies, or dietary restrictions, then you'd probably want to avoid places like this in general (in my opinion). read more

We used to love this place. We tried to go last night, on a Saturday night, early at 5:15 pm. There were 3 tables sat. We walked in, the server was checking someone out at the register. She saw us, told us she'd be with us in a minute and went to go clear a table. Then went and refilled drinks for another table. My husband and I discussed just leaving, but I really wanted the food. After standing for about 5 minutes, she finally came back over and with a very rude tone in her voice said "we're only doing take out orders for the next half hour". Like I said, only 3 tables were sat in the entire restaurant, and if that was too much for her to handle, why couldn't she have told us that right when we walked in rather than making us stand there for 5 minutes? We will not be back. read more

We love the food here. To us it's tastier than its counterparts in the area. The only issue is they have carpet in the restaurant and it's GROSS! It needs to be removed and tile or laminate installed for ease of cleaning. So, great food, but they need to clean more. read more

My family has complicated food allergies that make eating out near impossible. We stopped in and asked a couple of questions of the owner and he was amazing! Cleaned grill off and only allowed our food to be cooked. He had everyone else wait so we would not have cross contamination. He was awesome about ingredient labels on sauces and told us to come back so he could create a sauce just for us. It was an AMAZING experience! read more

This place has severely gone down hill since it opened. The prices have nearly doubled, and the food has gotten worse. On top of that they will up charge you 100% of the time if you get food to go. They claim that you "overstuff" your bowl if it doesn't fit in one to-go container. It has happened to me the last 5 times I've been there even though I make sure to only get the amount designated for the bowl size I'm choosing. The food itself it's not terrible... But the sauces constantly get cross-contaminated and so does the food. This is especially unfortunate when I get home and have food too spicy for me to eat and I put no spicy sauce on mine. Overall, if you haven't eaten here.....I would pass. There is a much better Mongolian Wok style restaurant in Davenport now that I would rate as 5-stars. read more

If you like Asian food, this is a restaurant you must visit. The place is set up like a buffet in which you choose one of four bowl sizes and fill it with ingredients to be grilled. You can choose from multiple meats, vegetables and noodles. You finish off the selection with a wide variety of sauces. I highly recommended this restaurant. read more

Absolutely disgusting dirty dining room, frozen and spoiled meat & vegetables. Just could not finish more than a couple bites. I could go on for quite awhile about how awful it was. I will never go back again so nauseous just thinking about the place worst $40 ever spent. read more

You get in line, choose your bowl size, and begin crafting yourself a meal that will be freshly cooked right in front of you. What can go wrong? Well, lots of things... It doesn't really compare to other "Mongolian" -type restaurants I've been to. The meat cuts seem really low quality, I mean the beef, chicken, and pork looked exactly the same; they were flat slices, basically shaped and textured like large, frozen, potato chips. The (imitation) crab meat tasted nothing like crab meat and I ended up picking all of it out of my meal since I could feel it making me sick after just a few bites. The vegetable selection was lacking, at best. Your choices came down to nothing more than green peppers, mushrooms, bamboo shoots, onions, and broccoli. There were a couple of other things, but I couldn't even tell what some of that stuff was. But the vegetables I did choose definitely tasted fresh. At the end of the line you must choose sauces to top your creation. Unfortunately your only choices are bland and description-less, you have no way of knowing what you're getting yourself into, unless you've been there before, since there is no way to try the sauces before adding them to your bowl. And that section of the line was just a complete mess, sauces where strewn about everywhere and I could clearly see people cross-contaminating everything in sight since they don't know how to use simple tools such as a ladle. Yeah, it's cool to watch your food being cooked right in front of you, but that novelty of that wears off quickly when you sit down and actually start eating the food. You taste the low-quality of the ingredients involved. The only redeeming qualities of this place were that you get to choose from a few different size bowls and the prices are very cheap for the amount of food you get. The largest size bowl is only like $10 and you'll have enough food to feed you for a few days. I wish my friends would've listened to me and we would've gone to Chuck E. Cheese's next door instead. read more

I didn't like this place the first time I went there, but I decided to try it again. So far, I have been there twice and there's a nice selection of foods. You get a lot for the price and everything is delicious! One of the best deals is to get the Barbarian because it's an all you can eat! If you can only eat one, which is likely, then they charge you the same amount as a Mighty Khan, so you don't spend more money if you are hungry for two bowls! read more

This place is delicious, sooooo much better than the Hu-Hot place on 53rd. Little family owned restaurant. We went here when the whole shopping center was getting a face lift. The setting (inside) isn't superb but the seats are comfy and the food is fresh- minus the frozen meats which I think is pretty standard for this type of restaurant. Prices are good, lots of veggie options to choose from. Only thing is I wish the sauce they cooked your food on the grill in wasn't as sugary/ sweet. Next time I'll see if they can cook it without that... it was still really good though! The service was also excellent. Waitress was super nice and didn't bug us too much which is perfect. read more

Garbage customer service, unjustifiable prices. This place used to be very good, but I would steer clear of it now! Instead I would recommend HuHot Mongolian Grill nearby as it is MUCH better. read more

Food is good as always but even after being closed down for covid 19 they didnt take any time to clean. It is getting so bad, not sure we will go back. read more

I called out to the restaurant to ask about food selection. I was rudely told that what I wanted was on the dinner menu and I would have to pay dinner prices then she hung up on me. When I called back to speak to the manager about this employee's rudeness this same person just laid the phone down on the counter and proceeded to ignore me. No matter how good the food is I am not going back just to be treated this way. read more

If you enjoy good Asian food prepared in front of you and you like many choices, Hi Ho is the place for you. I come here often.

One of my favorite places to eat. Fresh food prepared by the experts on the grill made the way you want it. Spice it up or keep it plain, and there's always enough ... you'll never go away hungry. read more

I live in Chicago and my best friend lives in Rock Island. Every time I visit her, we go here. Never any disappointment, we always wish our stomachs were bigger! read more

Great place if you like Chinese food, but want something different. You pick the ingredients you want in your dish and they cook it on a grill in front of you. Great service, and prices. You often have much to take home afterwards! Eat in or Take Out read more

Mediocre food but as we were waiting to leave we found a COCKROACH crawling on the floor!!! Showed the guy at the front of house and he didn't seem surprised. Just threw it away and still had us pay full price for our food. Won't be going back read more

So delicious and very inexpensive! Basically, they give you a bowl and you fill it with wonderful things that you'd like them to cook for you. It's similar to stir crazy but much cheaper. The servings are huge and I always had leftovers to take home. Dessert is included! read more

One star off for ambience, but otherwise, great quality and amount of food for the price. Their sauce combinations are genius! I always add more of the BBQ sauce though. Buffets usually gross me out, and I guess this should too, but contrary to actual buffets, Mongolian grill is delicious! read more

Love this place and go here a lot. Quick in and out and good food. Portions are huge and you truly can choose whatever you want to go on your bowl. Priced very fair! I can never finish my portion and neither can my husband. read more

If you've never tried Mongolian before, you should definitely try it out. Bring the kids - they'll have fun too! It's set up in a buffet style, only you pick up all the ingredients - meats, vegetables, and so on - and then give it to the cooks to prepare before your eyes. They throw your food on a large circular grill and then cook it for two to three minutes, which is all it takes to cook everything through. It's fun, it's delicious, AND it's good for you to boot! The decor leaves a little something to be desired, but there's nothing else like it in the Quad Cities. read more

Was not impressed at all. Coming from a place where Mongolian is done right, this place was very disappointing. Back home BD Mongolian has better quality and selection of ingredients and the cooks are more upbeat and entertaining. read more

Been here several times but wasn't impressed by any means today. They ran out of broccoli! The only veggie my daughter will eat and they ran out. The place is a mess. Floor needs vacuumed. The area around the buffet is disgusting. Doubt I will be back any time soon. How hard is it to just clean up a bit? read more

I love being able to choose exactly what is going into making my dish. I never have to pick something out because I don't like it. It is always amazing. Every dish is new when you go there. I make sure I get the big bowl so I have plenty of left overs for later. My only regret is that my husband doesn't like pasta or veggies so I don't get it very often! read more

My husband and I love it here! Great people. Awesome food. And a great price. Best Mongolian grill in town.

Delicious food, nice staff, good prices. Eating in, you are seated at a table, asked for your drink order then immeadiately sent through the line to make your dish. While you are preparing your food, the waitstaff is quick to bring your drink, soup, and bowl of white rice to your table. The soup is eggdrop soup, I believe, but it's a little different than other eggdrop soups I've had, and I personally like it better than others I've tried. Eating in also allows you to go back up to the buffet for a few dessert choices such as pudding and usually some different dessert rolls or cakes. For take out, you just go straight to the line to begin preparing your bowl. When you give your bowl to the cook, be sure to tell them it is to go so they will put your food in a to go container and write you up a ticket to take to the cashier counter. Lunch prices are a little cheaper than dinner, but at dinner, there are several more choices for protein and a few more choices of vegetables in addition to the lunch selection. Lunch has chicken, beef, and pork, and I believe tofu; and dinner also offers shrimp, crab, and sausage. I have tried all the protein selections except the pork, beef, and tofu. I love all the choices I have tried except I was not thrilled with the crab (imitation, I believe) I felt the crab's taste overpowered the rest of the dish. I highly recommend puting egg into your dish. For the medium or large bowl, I use two eggs. You simply pick up the eggs from the buffet line and carry them seperate from your bowl, placing them on a towel provided on the counter at the grill. The cooks will add these to your dish during cooking. In addition to selecting your personal choices of vegetables, protiens, and noodles you also add your own mixture of sauces. They have a guide listed for a common mix of sauces, but you can add to that with other available sauces or completely create your own mix. When you create your bowl, usually you will fill the bowl level to the top with your vegetable and protien selections, and then pile on your noodles on top. Your bowl will likely be overflowing because this will all cook down. Be careful overflowing your bowl too high, however, because they may charge you for the next bowl size up. This has never happened to me though, and I usually have a very full bowl, but I have seen others who really seem to overdo it and I believe this rule applies to those people. On top of the noodles is where you pour on your mix of sauces. At this point, you give your bowl to the waiting cook and you stand there while they cook it in front of you. This usually takes just a couple minutes to complete your dish. It's fun to watch them cook your food and once in awhile the cooks get fancy in how they cook your food and put it all into your bowl. Even if they don't do any fancy tricks, it is still very impressive how they get all of your food off the grill and into your bowl without making a big mess. I often get the biggest bowl, which is a TON of food, eat just a little while at the restaurant (it's very filling), and then have a lot of leftovers to eat on a few times over the next couple of days. The only reason I didn't give all the stars in my rating is because they recently increased the price. The price was always very reasonable, and truthfully for the amount you get it probably still is, but it was a little disappointing to see the price increase (although understandable). read more

Buddy took me to dinner tonight for Mongolian. Been a while and they have updated and remodeled. It needed it big time. New chairs, booths, tables, carpet and paint. The ceiling tiles are painted brown now which is a good idea from all the smoke off the grill. And they have new hanging, interesting lights over the veggie buffet now. The selection of veggies, meats, noodles, etc. are the same. I see they brought back snow peas. YEAH! I usually get baby corn, mushrooms, bamboo shoots, water chestnuts, green pepper, green onion, snow peas, shrimp and lots of noodles. They are what hold all the flavor from your sauces. I love to put curry sauce and garlic sauce over my noodles and a bit of Mongolian fire oil. The guys cooking are very good and I still watch in amazement how they scoop it off into a bowl in one fell swoop without making a mess. When we returned to our table, there were cups of very good and hot egg drop soup and bowls of white sticky rice. You need to toss and toss and stir up from the bottom to get your bowl of food to cool off so you can eat it. The top of the grill is 1200 degrees. So in the meantime I ate my soup and blew on my food. I enjoy how I can flavor my dinner how I want and experiment with flavors and ingredients. Only down side is, even though the furnishings are new and carpet is new, doesn't mean the place is really clean. There were straw wrappers, noodles, a carrot, and things on the carpet in our area. The buffet line had all kinds of food that had been dropped on the tile floor and I guess you just try to step around it as you fill your bowl. The grill area needs a cleaning party with everybody getting down on their hands and knees with some grease cutter, soap, scrub brushes and buckets of hot water. It is really nasty back there. There were veggies and noodles all over the buffet area that a man did finally come with a bowl and picked up the food. He was the only one I saw do anything about picking up the mess. Our waitress walked over the straw wrappers and noodles on the floor I bet 6 times and never bothered with picking it up. But the sauce area was really a mess with spilled, dribbled, sauces from people using ladles all over the counter. There was an old man sitting in the rear on the other side from us and just watched everything and stared. Maybe he is an owner. If so, he should get up off his butt and tend to his messy, dirty restaurant. I like the food here so much I just tend to try and ignore the mess. And the place only had 8 tables tonight, not like it was packed. read more
