Place is terrible, went with my daughter and was told I came up too many times cause I made her food just before my plate. So I literally only made one plate for myself. Crazy. Also pretty filthy I wasnt going to make another plate anyways but I let my daughter eat and left. read more

This was great during the early years but has been sliding over the last year or better. The grill is fine but same selections. We keep adding more sauce because it comes back dry but they just let it burn on the grill and don't really make an effort to mix it in. Ice cream machine has been broken for months or at least every visit we've made which is three over last 4-5 months Pop machine more empty than full- zero /0/nada/ no diet pop of any kind today which was unbelievable- so I paid for soda but had to have water Even 1/2 of the table napkin dispensers were empty. SUPER DISAPPOINTING because we used to love this place. read more

Worst "buffet style" Mongolian grill I have ever been to in my life. I will never go back. Save your money. So bad on all counts except the friendliness of employees; they were decent and helpful. *No carbonation in sodas dispensed from soda machine. *No shrimp on the buffet table despite it being advertised as a Friday night offering - ran out and never bothered to refill while I was there. *Ice machine in soda dispenser not working - had to hand shop ice from a shared oversized spoon. I know my review lacks a long list of specifics, but it was so bad that I don't even want to spend time recounting all of the shortcomings of this dining establishment. A huge disappointment! read more

We normally love this place. I want to give them a break because of the pandemic, but I can't. Not one employee tonight was helpful or friendly. The shift manager left before closing, and the poor cook - yes, only one of him - tried his best, but also did not give a darn. He actually scraped 1/4 of my ingredients into the center garbage area and allowed the water used to clean the grill to flow into my pile. The shift manager left before the end of the shift and the place was in disarray even when he was there. Ran out of required gloves and took forever to get more. They do not bring you warm rice and Asian salad like in normal times, but they have rice at the ingredient bar. It is too bad that the pan did not get filled the entire time we were there. If this is the "new" Hu Hot, it is just not worth it. Food all over the floor. The place is not clean. I really hope they go back to their former selves; otherwise we will have to find a new place for Mongolian BBQ. read more

HuHot Mongolian Grill - The new Hu Hot. - Chinese Near Me - Wausau, Wisconsin

Food was tasty, all you can eat. Fresh ingredients, excellent variety, The place was too cold. Soda machine had limited choices, but seemed someone was trying to remedy that is while we were there. Nice touch to have soft serve ice cream for dessert. A person was picking up dirty tables regularly, clean environment. read more

I don't often leave reviews, but I want to give credit where it's due. Everything about this restaurant is awesome! The staff is so friendly and makes the experience great and the food was so good! If you haven't tried it, you're missing out! I will definitely be coming back! read more

Stopped in for lunch on our way through town. First time there and will also be our last time. There was no option for a single serving, only the "all you can eat" portion/charge. It was over $30 for the two of us and we had water! When we got to the displays for choosing the ingredients, it was filthy! Picked up a bowl and it was dirty. There was food all over the floor but we pressed through. When we got to the grill...OMG, it was disgusting! They had a scrapping rail around the bottom of the grill that had old crumbs and crap on it. The grill masters were acting like they were from a Japanese restaurant and kept scrapping their spatulas across it. It was gross! I work in a food processing plant and we are highly trained about food pathogens and this place is full of red flags! Overpriced and disgusting! Clean up your act before you get someone sick! read more

Still the same old tired selection. For what they charge, they should be able to also have shrimp available. Their thin sliced, frozen meats are tasteless and unattractive (except the imitation crab - which I don't care for). Their policy of no take outs (except for kids menu items) is ridiculous. The best way to get people to come back is to let them take a little home with them. Charging for take out is an insult after what they charge. It would be much wiser to limit how much is is allowed out for free. I won't be back, until there's a major change in menu and policy. read more

I have been here a couple of times and always have a great experience. The food selection is fantastic and watching the cooks create your concoction of food is like watching an artist hard at work. These truly are amazing to watch. The foods available are all delicious and you have a variety of sauces to choose from. I am sure we will be back again in the future. read more

I have been a food critic for 20 years. This place was good but on the average side of Mongolian grills. Pros : lots of selections. Meats veggies all looked fresh. Because it's a all you can eat place there is no reason to be creative on how you stack your bowl. Pretty clean and service was great. Cons: most places offer disposable spoons to try the array of sauces. Here they do not. So choices are to hope for best or like most use unsanitary means to taste them. read more

The large cook top was a great touch. The cooks working the grill were efficient. There were a ton of meats, veggies and sauces. My problem - it took me two tries before I figured out the saucing for my plate. I followed their suggestion but it came out dry. You have to combine and think about what you do at home. ADD OIL! read more

Went for an early dinner with my daughter's family, including my 2 year old grandchild. We were the only people there at the time we arrived and went through the line. My granddaughter was being extra toddler-like and didn't want to eat. Once her parents and I finished our food- the one a d only trip through the line we made, we asked for a box for the child's little plate of leftovers. We were told they could not give us one, it was $6. We had about 1-1.5 cups of food on her plate, we weren't trying to pull anything, and they knew it. They refused to compromise, 'it's corporate policy'. I wrote corporate today and explained our disappointment and was given the same line of BS with the 'if we do it for one, we have to do it for everyone' crap. A little logic would go a long way here. Fortunately I had an empty container in my car, so I solved my own problem. I highly recommend you do the same if you feel compelled to take a child there. I won't be back. read more

Oh I liked this place.. it's a typical Mongolian BBQ restaurant with so many options for fresh fresh veggies . They had several meat choices which included chicken, beef, pork sausage, Krab (fake crab) and a few others .. the sauces are where it's at you can create your own flavor profile and I like that.. there is a menu board to help you make your traditional peanut sauce, teriyaki etc.. Enjoy read more

HuHot Mongolian Grill - Mongolian BBQ style - Chinese Near Me - Wausau, Wisconsin

I visited this past weekend with family. I do not like the new set-up. No service whatsoever. You place your order and pay the moment you walk in. Watch out for them adding an automatic tip to your bill unless you "opt out." You fill your own drink, you find your own table - and apparently you have to clear it from the previous guests' dishes first. You serve yourself rice from a pot (no bowls) and serve yourself soft-serve ice cream (cones and spoons but no bowls). Like I said - NO SERVICE to the table. I like the food, but I doubt I'll go back any more.. read more

The food itself is really what you make it. However, the place is filthy. From dust on the walls, lights and food debris everywhere it's a complete nightmare. Some workers are extremely nice and others are clearly just there to get paid and leave. Haven't been here in years and used to love going there but after seeing what it's become today not so sure that we'll be back. They really need someone that cares to clean up the place. read more

We stopped for lunch around 1 in Wausau rib mountain exit! The young man at the register was nice! The nicest worker at the restaurant! I was disgusted in how filthy the food area was! I don't believe they have ever washed down the sauce sign above all the sauces! Food needed to be refilled! I know it's a hot job but darn smile once! read more

We really enjoy HuHot and were thrilled to find this when we were in Rib Mountain. The restaurant is convenient to the highway and offers a wide selection of meats, veggies and sauces so everyone can create their own delicious mix! For a special treat, have the S'mores for dessert! read more

100% would recommend this place. I have a peanut allergy and was super nervous about trying this place. They are very accommodating. They make sure the section of grill used to cook my food was extremely clean before cooking it. They also have different colored bowls for those with allergies so the cooks know. I like that there are so many options for food. The stations can get a bit messy when busy, but that isn't 100% the restaurants fault. Definitely a fun place to go for date nights. read more

The meats were good, lots of sauce options anything from spicy to sweet. I have been to quite a few Hu hots in my life at different locations. This one had less options then the others. The vegetables consistently didn't get cooked practically served raw. read more

I went here on a date and enjoyed the concept. We had fun picking ingredients and sauces and making some interesting dishes. The decor is pleasant and inviting with cool murals on the wall. But! Our waitress was slow cleaning old dishes off the table and refilling our drinks. Even when the dinner crowd cleared there were dirty dishes sitting on the table across from us for over 20 minutes. We were greeted with no napkins, silverware or straws. Immediately after finishing our 2nd plate we were presented with our check and felt a bit rushed out by frequent return visits from the waitress asking if we were "all set". Finally, we spied a griller with no hairnet or hat. Overall, this is a place with great potential but may need a overall improvement in customer services and cleanliness. read more

HuHot Mongolian Grill - Dirty dishes hanging our during our dinner - Chinese Near Me - Wausau, Wisconsin

The staff here are clearly struggling, and I could tell at times they were very overwhelmed, but they were all polite, and the hostess was amazing, clearing tables and helping out with cooking along with her regular duties. You guys are doing the best with what you have, I hope things get better soon! read more

I was in town and decided to stop at this HuHot with some friends for dinner (one of my favorite restaurants). It was different from my local HuHot. Here you pay as soon as you walk in the door, I'm not sure if this is common at other locations but the location I usually go to does not do that. They also had soft serve ice cream (something else my local location does not have). The only down side of my time here was that the grill cooks were a bit slow, but my food still tasted great and the service was great as well. If I am in town again I will defiantly stop here. read more

Amazing staffs! Loved the foods and everything there. It's such a cool place to eat. I love how we can pick our own meat, noodles and sauces Thank you HuHot read more

Food is good. Grill personnel are awesome (a lot of times with good humor). That's really the only reason we keep coming back. Service sucks. Servers are hard to find and move very very slow. A lot of times you can see them through the kitchen door chit chatting - they seem to spend a lot of time back there. Like I said - food good, service bad. read more

Just like any Mongolian BBQ place, add your ingredients to a bowl, take it to the grill, and pick it up when it's cooked. Cons: prices are fairly high, 2 of us was over 40 for lunch. Ordering can be confusing if you've never been before. Pros: a recipe board is above the sauce bar to assist in making classic and house flavors. read more

It was good for our family, and the key is to put sauce on- not just one or two scoops but like five or six. Food was okay but my kid loved the experience. read more

Good part: 1. The concept is wonderful - you get to pick the ingredients and can mix up the sauces to your taste. 2. Interior is bright and great. 3. Plenty of parking 4. All you can eat food 5. The service from the chefs was great Worst part: 1. Worst service - took forever and ever for the server to get water or check even when there are not many customers. Servers were busy chit chatting. 2. 14.99 for dinner is way too pricey 3. Few ingredients were NOT fresh 4. The grill could be a little more clean read more

Picking out your own food was okay. But the cook's did not heat the food it was still cold and the vegetables were still raw. It didn't even taste good. We will never go back you pay $40 for 2 people your food should be good for that price but it was awful very dissatisfied. read more

Host's greeting: "How many?" Host's statement when we walk in with 4 people instead of 4 to the 4-top table:"You said there were 3." "Oops, 4". Slams down menus on table in irritation. Waitresses lecture with a rude demeanor: "Don't order the salad if you don't want it, you wouldn't believe how much salad waste." When further rudeness ensues from waitress, and she says she's not trying to be rude when we ask if our autistic daughter can order off the kid menu and we say no one said she was she rolls her eyes and shakes her head. Last straw. It's as if we are a burden at this restaurant. Good luck. read more

This place has awesome food! Looking online I was a little confused as to if this was a single plate restaurant or all you can eat. While it isn't buffet style it is all you can eat. You grab a bowl, fill it up, give it to the cooks at the grill and you get a cooked plate back Our waitress Rachall was also excellent, very friendly and courteous! read more

We came in on the 3rd day it was open. It was great! Everything was clean and the food was so fresh and tasted so very good. Our visits since have been down hill more and more. We have been here on 6 different occasions now and it's gotten really dirty. Menus are sticky, wipe them off! The dishes are dirty with food stuck on them. They need to have a serious clean up. The food doesn't look or taste as fresh and the staff isn't as attentive. Here a tip clean the bathrooms more! They are so gross. read more

We stopped in to give the kids an experience of picking their own food and watching the cooks do their magic with their spatulas. Needless to say they got their experience and loved it but the place was filthy. We got a cleaned table but from the carpet, buffet, bathrooms and even soda and ice cream area everything was scoured with old food and wrappers. The rice container was caked with old rice and handles of everything were sticky and clearly not replaced or thought about being cleaned. I understand buffets are hard up keep while so many people are using them and also now days it's hard to find help but unfortunately I do need to leave a poor review as I felt this place needed at least a vacuum ran thru it. read more

Although we knew there would be changes made due to Covid.. all three of us were very disappointed. The staff was very rude and the food did not taste fresh at all. The restaurant did not look clean at all our meals were hardly hot. Definitely will not be visiting again read more

I always enjoy Hu Huts and everything they have to offer. This is a relatively new Hu Hut and is up to par with pretty much every other one. It's always fun to create your own stir fry and top it off with tons of different sauce choices! The meat selection is good, I always suggest the sausage, gives a great and unique taste to any stir fry! Always tons of fresh veggies to try mix your dish up! They were swamped tonight and the table service was a tad slow for me. Didn't get a refill at all during our meal but everything else was great! Would come again! read more

Surprised to see this in Wausau. Obviously I selected great ingredients, but they did cook them well, and their process of systematically cooking and serving to the correct people was a delight to watch. Overall impression was very good, next time we travel through Wausau we'll stop in. read more

I totally agree I love this restaurant! Stopped by opening day and was confused on how it worked, but the waitress took the time to explain everything! Awesome food and service! read more

This was my first time coming to Hu Hot, however, I have been to other Mongolian restaurants, and the experience is similar. I got a medley of different meats, veggies, and other ingredients and sauces. The food is prepared on a large circle heated "stove-top" and if cooked fairly quickly. Because you pick out the food that you want to eat, you'll always eat something that you like. read more

HuHot Mongolian Grill - The "stove" - Chinese Near Me - Wausau, Wisconsin

We were in for the first time since it was remodeled, and wow, what a disappointment. They charge the same price and you don't even get a waiter/waitress. You have to do everything yourself. Then, they expect you to leave a tip. For what, exactly, when I get my own food and drink? All, I'm sure to save a few bucks on staffing. Hope they're happy because we certainly won't be back. read more

Adam is the best server I've had in years. Funny, personal, and extremely helpful. He made our quick lunch break out of Wausau a memorable one. The reason I give 4 stars is sadly due to the quality of the food. I would honestly give it a 3 based on the food alone, but Adam saved this review. The meat looked fine, but the veggies were brown and wilted especially the bok choy and cilantro and the tofu had a nasty flavor that even my plethora of sauces couldn't completely mask. I've been to several huhots in different states and cities and sadly the food was the most disappointing here...but I'm hopeful that when I move here, that the quality will have stepped up its game. Looking forward to my visit back to Wausau read more

Covid Nazis. Masks, gloves, the whole deal. Should just shutdown for good if they're worried about minor illnesses. Go somewhere else and support a business that values personal freedom and liberty. Tine and Cellar is a good choice. Never going to Hu Hot again. read more
