If there were a restaurant that I could and would eat at everyday a Mongolian grill would be it. Fresh ingredients in a sauce made my me and cooked right in front of me. Hot and fresh ingredients the quality that I choose and best of all, if I want more all I have to do is get up, get a fresh plate and cook up more. The only bummer is that I can't box up my left overs and take it home. The service, well, I have no complaints. She was attentive and friendly while we were eating, BUT I did have to go find her when it was time to go. [[HIGHLIGHT]]And the ambiance, it wasn't anything special. Just suitable for any size group, like me and my daughter. Or the family group of 10+ just across the room. Everyone had plenty of room.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] All was good and well, so here's my beef... [[HIGHLIGHT]]Cleanliness!! We were escorted to a not so clean table that the hostess brushed food off the table then laid down own menus. But that wasn't the worse of it. These was noodles in the cracks of the seat. And not just one or two. Kind of creeped me out. Love the food but cleanliness matters...or I may not be back.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Great place in town around La Canterra / UTSA. Mongolian style that is serve yourself and prepared in front of in a circular flat top. Fresh vegetables and protein choices. Dozens of sauces. Reasonable prices and friendly service make a great lunch or dinner stop. read more

I don't know how I feel about this place. I used to frequent it in the past as a younger person who eats a lot! I visited recently and I could say the experience is still fun! The service is very friendly. You can eat until you drop! But... the quality of ingredients is not good! I had to sit and fish the good bits and pieces of carrots. It looks old! Almost black! Same for all the other veggies. The meat is frozen and for some reason I was expecting to see at least baby shrimp? Oh well... it was a fun one last experience. I don't think I will be back again read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]I went with friends and our kids for lunch right at opening and in my opinion lunch is better than dinner.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It's less busy and a lot quicker. The service was also better, our waitress stayed on top of our refills and getting used plates out of the way. As mentioned previously HuHot is one of my favorite restaurants however I would stick to going when it's less busy. read more

Revisited for lunch but was disappointed with the proteins this time around. After my meal was fully cooked, I found the beef and pork to be very tough, dry, and chewy. Even went back again for the second time and found it to be the same. Too many of the sauces were soy based, which ends up being too salty for me. Pls add sambal or chili paste as a selection. read more

If you've eaten at Gengis Grill, this place is exactly like it but its buffet style food. Service is okay. It wasnt a busy day so the server was just trying to keep busy by coming over to my table and making sure everything was going good. They do offer appetizers and desserts. Which is a whole separate menu. And not including with all you can eat buffet. read more

This experience was a lot of chill fun! I haven't been to a Mongolian grill in a little over a decade and forgotten how exactly these restaurants work, but our server was great and explained the process to our group and checked in on us often throughout our meal. The restaurant was pretty big and smelled delicious since the food is prepped in front of you and the grill is constantly full, and the Mongolian style murals on the wall were super dynamic and neat. Hu Hot is all you can eat and has a TON of protein, veggie, spice, and sauce options to choose from to make the dish or dishes that are best for you. I ended up stuffing a whole bunch of ingredients into my bowl (I'll list everything at the end of this review so you can get an idea of everything they have) and added about five scoops total of different sauces to my dish. The server recommend six to eight scoops, but I was a little skeptical and added one less because it just seemed like a lot. Five scoops was actually perfect for me, and the funny and unique names for all of the sauces had my group laughing. The line for this self-serve, buffet style process was pretty fast despite the amount of people there, and the cooks were super fast grilling up all of our meals. I noticed that a few customers had two bowls that they had cooked together, a really nice option if there are too many choices to choose from or you're just wanting something more substantial, but my group each ended up cooking a single bowl each and were stuffed full as the bowls are all pretty big. I will be honest, I'm not sure how bad cross contamination for those with allergies is since everything is prepared on the same round grill. They sprayed some solution on and quickly washed each cooking space off after each dish was prepped, but I am not sure what that solution was and felt I might mention this in case anyone with a food allergy reads this. I also ended up with a couple of ingredients that I did not add from neighboring cooking meals. This didn't really bother me, again, just adding this on the off chance this helps someone. I'd definitely love to go back to try another crazy combination. I'd give Hu Hot a 4.5, my fiancé gives it a 5 for nostalgia and experience, and the two people we dined with give it a 4 and 5. What was in my dish: Grilled Ingredients: Asian meatballs, Pad Thai noodles, Tofu, Cabbage, Broccoli, Water chestnuts, Cabbages, Crab, Mussels, Pineapple, Zucchini, Egg, Bean sprouts, Mushrooms Sauces: 2 scoops teriyaki, 2 scoops Thai peanut, 1 scoop Shoyu Black Pepper (Sauce of the Season) Toppings: Peanuts, Sesame seeds, Coconut read more

We went at a pretty busy time but the line moved quickly. The food was great and we liked all of our options for making our bowls.

Huhot is a rare franchise that I wished people knew more about. Although San Antonio used to have two, the og remains as the 2nd one was quickly shut down. It seems they have decided to put all there eggs in the one location on Dezavala. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They have updated in inside and feels more open.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Throughout the years this place has had ups and downs with its quality. Watering down the sauce to not putting out some because it wasn't used as much. After the updates and closer of the 2nd location they have got their act together here as it reminds to be the only Huhot in Texas. The only thing is that it's really up to you to make a good dish. I guess I'm just that good at making my dish that I think this is a 5 star place I am only giving it a 4 because I can no longer take advantage of all you can eat which makes it a bit pricey now a days. read more

Finger nail in my food tonight. This is my 3rd time coming here, and the last 2 were good but now has me worried. I was half way through my meal and found an entire finger nail in my food. The manager came out and offered a discount which is crazy. We weren't causing a scene and didn't want to be disrespectful but told them that is absolutely disgusting and they agreed we can leave with out paying. Said that the nail wasn't one of their staff members but you guys still have the responsibility of going through the food tonight make sure there's no contaminants or foreign objects.

I remember coming here years ago and really thought it was excellent. The sauce bar used to have recipes so you could make a certain recipe by adding labels of different sauces whether hot, spicy etc. today the name plaques are worn that you can't read the name of the sauce so you have to wing it. The rice was hard and crunchy, I can tell it's not old because I can see the huge rice cooker from where I sit. I let the waitress know and she told me she checked another cooker and it was the same.. crunchy. Maybe it was an off day for them. But despite this they are a good place especially for lunch. read more

This particular restaurant was one of the four runners of Mongolian grill cooking. They have the best selection of vegetables and meat. With all of the sauces that they have to offer, you could go hundreds of visits before getting the same exact combination. The servers are very diligent on making sure that you have all the things that you need and keeping your table clear of dirty dishes. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The seating is very comfortable and open now since they remodeled it over a year ago.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] You can adjust tables to have four people to a table, and you have the ability toput together tables to have a big mob. read more

Relatively cheap entry price with a nice range of options.

The service is great and the "grill warriors" are always willing to accommodate to your preferences. I would highly recommend it to anyone who is ready to feast read more

We went for some Asian food and found them. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Clean place with good, speedy service.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Great food selection for your bowl with an equally good selection of sauces.

My husband and I went there today at 1:14pm and we paid for (2) Grill Meals, Unsweet Ice Tea, Lemonade, and we were to receive a military discount. But, the bad part came after we couldn't finish our food and we were told by "Giselle M" that this restaurant didn't have to-go containers for the unfinished food we wanted to take home. Giselle M indicated that we had to pay for another plate or two to take them to-go. So, we were charged $34.06 for the first meal and drinks, and then were charged again at $15.14 for us to take them to go. We didn't want to waste our food and I see now that they give us a bowl of rice on the side so that we would have to leave our food there. This is a wrong type of business with throwing away food after someone who can't eat so much and would love to take their food home and maybe have it later during the day. Also, the two cooks who grills and cooks the food after it's composed by the customer, do NOT speak English at all. We had to get Giselle M to translate it to them as my husband is allergic to "ONIONS", and my mix had onions on it and my husbands' didn't have any onions. We had to tell Giselle M that my husband is allergic to onions and that it needed to be cooked separately so my husband wouldn't get an allergic reaction. It's not good to not have at least one or two english speaking cooks also during the cook time. We even asked a cleaner or the person cleaning the restaurant to translate and he didn't speak spanish so, they called Giselle M to translate it to the cooks. They looked at me funny when I needed my husbands' needs to be done correctly to avoid an allergic reaction. So, we're not happy and will not be going back to this restaurant again as we had to pay for a plastic container (which we were told they didn't have to begin with) and we had to pay can extra "$6.99" per plastic to-go container just to take our foods homes. This is wrong as people have to pay money to get their mongolian foods made and when someone makes them to their perfect mix, and if they can't take it home after they are full from part of the meal, they should be able to take it home without being charged again for an extra plate and/or container. If this is the case with these restaurants, then they shouldn't give out rice to mix with the perfect mixture that we as customers make and maybe to take it home for a night-time dinner. We shouldn't have to pay for an extra plate just to take our leftover foods home. We loved our mixtures and we wanted to take them home but, we had to pay for two other plates to take them home. That was an expensive "TO-GO" container. A BAD experience from a restaurant isn't a good way to go back to a restaurant and hopefully the experience changes. This came to a wrong way of having your customers not be able to take their food home when they can't finish their food. This is so NOT PROFESSIONAL!!! We've gone to other Mongolian Grills in texas and when we wanted to take our remaining foods home, we didn't have this ordeal with purchasing another plate just to take it home. We wanted to try this restaurant as we've seen it from the "Frontage Road" on the I-10 Freeway and I think we won't be going back to this location again. First experiences with restaurants should great and a customer shouldn't have to pay for another plate or two to just take their food home. If they told us this when we first arrived, then maybe we would have changed our mind or made a little less food. There should also be atleast 1 english speaking cook so if there is a customer that doesn't speak spanish, like us can have our foods cooked correctly. I even gave the cooks a tip as they did make our foods taste good and fully cooked. But, we don't have to find a few waitresses to just to translate it to the cooks with a husband and/or customer who has a food allergy to have it cooked separately to avoid a food allergy. Sorry, but, we are not going back to this restaurant again. A BAD EXPERIENCE isn't a GOOD EXPERIENCE with a restaurant. read more

A little on the pricey side but worth the splurge when able. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Very good variety and nice family environment[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

HuHot is a great place to go for dinner. I like the wide selection of meats, noodles, vegetables, and sauce options. I followed the Kung Pao...Yow! recipe for my sauce and it was yummy, but definitely spicy. They were out of a couple vegetables when I went and I also noticed that they weren't serving shrimp and calamari like they were last time I was here. This was a bit disappointing as shrimp is my favorite ingredient to add to my bowl. read more

Love this place!!!!!We drive all the way across town just to dine here. Food is good, at a reasonable price.

I used to love this place, but in the last couple of years it's gone downhill. However, I was in the area today and decided to stop by anyway and found that they are renovating! Hopefully this means that they are going to do everything better again. Looking forward to going once it reopens. read more

HuHot Mongolian Grill - From the website Fall 2024 - Asian Fusion Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

I came here for a work lunch and my lunch partner suggested here for lunch. He hadn't been there either but he passed it on his way to the office and I hadn't had Mongolian grill in a while so, why not. We walked in a little before noon so it wasn't busy at all. Savannah was our server and she asked if it was our first time here, it was but we did let her know we weren't new to the concept. Their layout is pretty intuitive anyway without the need of instruction, fill up on the veggies first, then proteins/starches and finally sauces. They have a few sauce recipes on boards if you're in need of more guidance. I agree that if you don't like the taste of the food it's really on you. However, I will say that the sauce ratios need to be increased-particularly if you're going to follow their recipes. My first time I used their ratios/recipes to the letter but didn't taste much. I went back and added a lot more than they called for, then added more and I got some flavor. Our first bowl came pretty quickly but after a couple more tables came in and their one cook was pretty overwhelmed; our second bowl came in at a slower rate. Once it did arrive, it wasn't what I had dropped off-it looked like mine had been combined with another dish and then hastily deconstructed. read more

The food & drinks were really good per usual. When being at these places ur here's are always bigger than your tummy.But the waitress must of been new because she kept forgetting our utensils. Party of 4 she only brung out 2 utensils to eat with. I asked another waitress she told me to hold n never came back. As we're we're waiting she's taking orders & Beijing stuff out. But I didn't make it a big deal. Ordered an appetizer about 25 minutes into eating the app never came so I told the girl to Not worry about it & she said oh I never put it in. I was only able to eat one plate & wanted to take my second plate to go but it would of been 13.99 more to go. Other than that the kids & hubby enjoyed! We will be back again. read more

HuHot Mongolian Grill - Asian Fusion Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

We visited HuHot on a Sunday around lunch time. It was busy, but everything moved quick. It was not mall food court Mongolian, which was nice. We were seated and had a server for drinks. This restaurant is all you can eat, with no to go boxes. You walk through a buffet set up of raw ingredients with one or two small bowls. The first section is meats, then fruits and vegetables, followed by sauces. You should get more sauce than you think and combine as many as you want. Everything is labeled well and the sauces all have heat levels listed. Next, you go into line at the grill. The cooks are really well organized and get you through quick. They clean the grill often, but I would be hesitant if I had food allergies or didn't eat meat. After the grill, there is a small condiment area with nuts, sriracha, soy sauce etc. The restaurant is in a large, busy shopping center. We found parking without any interest. It's next to a military recruiting center which was closed on Sunday and may have helped with the parking situation read more

Always a good experience--just sad not all my mussels opened. Chef said it was only his 4th day there so maybe that was it! Great assortment of meats, variety of noodles, numerous choices of fresh vegetables and huge array of oils to add in to your food to suit your tastes ranging from Mild to very spicy hot. With exception of mussels everything cooked well and tasted wonderful--I stick with just imitation crab & mussels--no shrimp available today. We joined rewards "club" to get $5 Off lunch! read more

I LOVE this place! Great food, good prices, and all you can eat. Can't ask for more. Service has been excellent and the food fresh. Lots of choices for all to enjoy. Clean restaurant and plenty of seating. I've already been here 3 times before I did this review. Give it a try! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Very nice place[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]], make ur own hibachi, pretty good drop soup service was awesome staff very attentive

Not sure why the ratings are so low. I came at lunch when I knew they wouldn't be busy bc I like to set myself up for success lol [[HIGHLIGHT]]I was expecting a really cheap, effortless atmosphere, but I actually think the relatively dark/moody ambiance and art painted on the wall leveled it up a bit to the point it could be for family, friends, or even a casual date night.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Axel greeted me as soon as I got seated, let me know their best appetizers, and how the restaurant worked. He was attentive, kind, and courteous. There were a reasonable amount of options out, and the sauces were more complex than what I'm used to. For example, instead of just ginger sauce or pineapple juice, it would be a group of flavors that pair well together blended together in a sauce to take the guess work out of which sauces complement each other well- I consider this a huge win. They also have a QR code for recipe/sauce ideas at the table. I just picked a ton of sauces based on heat level and the description, I'm pretty adventurous and like a ton of flavor in my food. I lost count of how many ladles of sauce I added, two here, one or two there, but it probably totaled to about 12 scoops. My food was juicy and packed with flavor, the fried noodles being my favorite part. I got one big plate and was full and completely satisfied. I was even happier when I realized they do mil discounts and the bill came back to about $15!!! That's unheard of in SAT!!! I tipped generously and left happy, knowing I would 1000% be returning with my hungry husband and daughter many times in the future read more

This was my first visit since COVID lockdown in March 2020, and it was one of the most anticipated dining experiences I was looking forward to! HuHot lets your creative juices flow as you combine your choice of protein, with an assortment of vegetables, and creating your own sauce from their buffet bar. The quality of was just as I remembered. The biggest change is the waitress gave us two plastic gloves to use as we visited their buffet line. Posted signs show a mask is required to go through the bar and cooking line, but this wasn't enforced. I saw a few people go through the line without masks, but I did see them ask someone to put gloves on. Lunch is cheaper than dinner or the weekend. Steamed rice is included with the meal. Always worth a visit! read more

Food and service was great. It was the first time that I had someone snatch my plate. The poor young man that was grilling the food offered to fix another plate . I had to get in the long line again and waited another 20 minutes on top of the other time it took to fix my plate. It was a busy night. So, keep track of your plates. These people are crazy. read more
