its been a few years since I ate here, but I happened to be at the slumber land across the road and couldn't help myself,.despite having read a lot of bad yelp reviews. the food isn't bad. the place is pretty gross. the veggies aren't the right color (old), the peppers still have the veins and seeds in them, most of the food on the buffet isn't labelled, the shrimp looked very not right and everything was just kind of dirty. they use those brown paper towels to hand off the plates, which is weird. the same brown paper towels are just in a pile in the dirty bathroom on the counter. it's just so weird that there's absolutely no quality control. everything that's shitty about this place would be pretty easy to fix. it's just kind of depressing. read more

My favorite part about this restaurant is how they allow you to choose what you want in your stir fry. Not just off a menu, but what portion and exactly how spicy and how much oil you'd like. It seems almost ideal. I understand some of the criticism, the meat is frozen and can come off the grill pretty tough. The veggies are great, and I appreciate the seafood to choose from. Mostly I love mixing the sauce and getting uncomfortably full! I love to tip the cooks and bang the gong... it's always a fun night out for me and my family. I've gone here on my birthday because I like it so much. read more

I thought that the food was good for the price. Granted as others wrote the floor was really sticky and it could probably use a good bleach cleaning. But I didnt get sick the next day so must be the silver lining ;) read more

A great choice if you love stir fry and enjoy creating your own. Once you master filling your bowl with all your favorites it's a great place to eat. To add more flavor to your dish do not skip the end of the sauce area... I always add teriyaki. The waitstaff is friendly. read more

I do not typically review dining experiences but I had the worst experience eating here tonight. The waitress ignored our table and the three other tables around us. Charged us $2 a piece for water. Replaced out hot tea with just hot water and no tea bag. Took over twenty minutes to bring us the bill which was inaccurate and required each one of our party to remind her what we had for dinner and drinks. Our table had to approach the bar and stand at the cash register reciting again what we had ordered. In the end I will not return to this restaurant and will not refer anyone here. read more

The experience of the Mongolian grill is cool, but the overall food experience could be better. It's all you can eat but usually the second plate is when you stop. Just an advice on the mix drinks, don't get them, they're expensive and watered down. Once every two years isn't bad but I wouldn't waste my money. read more

Pretty good veggie selections and offer tofu as a protein option, which is great for vegetarians.

Don't go during 12-4pm. They just assume that you'll want the brunch which is an extra 5$ when you want the one plate and don't even ask, they just bring food to you so you pay them more. Dumb read more

The grill was filthy, there were flies everywhere, they overcooked mine & hubby's food till it was inedible. When I complained they did not care AT ALL. I was a cook for 10 years & if this went on in my kitchen I wouldn't tolerate this at all. Though it was obvious that they didn't care just by looking at the disgusting read more

The food tasted decent, but the buffet was not sanitary. The vegetables were unwashed, the meat was dumped in frozen. They had limited sauces and most were not even labeled. You also had to put your watery sauce in the bottom of the bowl so when they dumped it on the grill, it all ran off, leading to blander tasting food. Not impressed, and won't go back. read more

Great food, reasonable price. I'm really disappointed they don't allow you to take home the extra food that's left over??? Why waste it???? Or better yet. Why not have take out??? I would gladly drive by, fill up my bowl and bring it to work for lunch. Why would you not think of doing that? Makes no sense to me??? I drive to Gengis in Eagan just to be able to do that and it's not nearly as good! You're missing out on a lot of business. read more

Changes, for the worse. I used to LOVE this restaurant. I had spent birthday and anniversary dinners here. The food and service both used to be great. We had not been in almost 18months due to some not so great experiences. We had hoped things might have improved, but were disappointed. The food was acceptable. We had the single bowl lunch. It was cooked well, and the men on the grill did very well. Worthy of the tip and a gong. My only complaint about the food is the "appetizer". When I first started going the appetizer used to be a chicken wing, a cream cheese wonton, and a cup of soup. I over heard someone saying it was still on the menu for an additional price, but the automatic was a basket of wonton strips and "salsa." Our wontons were so stale I'm surprised they didn't cut my mouth. Our waitress swore they were made fresh that day. Having experience with such things, I would not be surprised if they had actually been made several days before and kept in a fridge. The service...was sad. I saw a total of nine people "working" in the restaurant, four of which were the already mentioned cooks. Two were waitresses, one seemed to be a busman, and the other two were mystery. They wandered around talking to the waitresses or just standing behind the bar. We had to practically flail our arms just to be seated in the first place. the floors need desperate deep cleaning. They had all of one menu. Another reviewer mentioned the decor. The decor IS a bit chintzy and needs an upgrade, but that was not a deal breaker. However as a whole package I really don't think I'll ever be going back. read more

I love this place. I've mainly just came here for the lunch because one bowl and I'm usually stuffed and it's a little cheaper. The ingredients have always been fresh and plentiful. I love being able to choose exactly what I want, how much of it I want, and also make the flavoring exactly how spicy I want it. Sometimes the waiters can be a little slow but the food definitely makes up for it. read more

Absolutely filthy. Food rubbed into the floor. Had all the ambience of a fast food chain mixed with a sports bar that only happens to serve overpriced stir-fry noodles and too-expensive drinks. Which is too bad, because the staff there is really very nice. read more

This is a relatively authentic Mongolian BBQ place. Unlike some other similar restaurants, this place has no buffet food. This is straight all-you-can-eat Mongolian BBQ only. For those who don't know, Mongolian BBQ is a place where you pick the type of meat, veggies, rice/noodles, and different sauce, and then bring the bowl over for the cooks to basically stir fry it on a hot stone stove. The food selection is decent, although I feel that the meats are not the best quality. They actually have the real Mongolian BBQ stove, and the cooks actually use giant chopsticks (as an authentic place would) to cook your food. They also give you some appetizers (chicken wing, fried wonton, some coup) that are just ok. Overall, the food is just what the rating says, a-ok. Not spectacular, not bad. They do offer a variety of drinks (alcoholic and soft). Our waitress was pretty good. Parking is free and plenty in their parking lot. The restaurant itself is easy to get to. read more

The chefs don't overcook your food, and the service is not bad. But the seasoning was heavy on the soy sauce (I had "medium spicy"), and just didn't taste right. Asian food usually has something else to balance out the soy sauce. My companion had "Khan's special" or something like that. He didn't like the heavy soy sauce flavor either, so he put Sriracha sauce on it. (And he usually orders his food mild.) They give way too much side dish food for us to go for seconds, so we regretted not making it in there before 6, when we can get the one-bowl Happy Hour dinner. The sweet steamed bread was pretty good--reminded me of doughnuts. And then we got some fried wonton wrappers. Those two things alone could fill someone up. I've had much better Mongolian barbecue in LA and Cleveland. I'm not going back, unless there's a fun group going. I suppose I could go back repeatedly to find a combination of sauces that I like better, but it really didn't taste right to me, and I've never had that impression at other Mongolian barbecue places I've visited. read more

Food was good. Cooks were friendly and a friendly server that helped put the sauce on. Waitress was strange. Gave us our change from $100 and kept $5 of it by giving us back ones and fives. She quickly set the money down and ran off. We felt if we confronted her she wouldn't have believed us. We left her less of a tip because of that. Menu's were messy with sauce. read more

Waiting for the appetizer is a waste of your time. Forget that it's coming and head straight for the buffet. Fill your bowl up as high as you possibly can, and don't take too many noodles, because a little goes a long way. Many people are suggesting you have them do your sauce, I suggest, especially if there is no line, that you read the recipes and figure it out yourself. There's a sense of accomplishment with it and then you can see what you're putting in and what you may want to leave out or have extra of. Pineapple is in the veggies area, and I like sweet and spicy, so I try to get some pineapple juice into my sauce as well as make it hot. read more

I started going to Khan's in high school, and will continue to keep going as long as it's around! You pick your own noodles, meats, veggies and sauce and onto the wok it goes...so good. The ambiance may not be the greatest, but I don't care as long as the food stays the same! read more

This place has seen better days. Besides a super outdated interior it is downright dirty. After being seated we discovered a bit of an ant problem--they were crawling everywhere. We told the waitress and she said "yeah we just recently discovered that". Beware if you have an allergy to seafood--this place was crawling with careless people who were dropping shrimp and calamari in the other proteins such as chicken and shrimp. The restaurant was packed with people, whom seemed to be really enjoying themselves (maybe our standards or expectations were a bit higher) so therefore I gave it 2 stars instead of one. Beware before you bite into your protein to check it-both our pork and chicken were not cooked thoroughly. This place has been around awhile and it seems to be a kid friendly place--especially since most of the parents were letting their kids fill their bowls with their hands--I stood there in disbelief. I think if you have issues with that kind of stuff you should skip this place. read more

Service was great this time, food was also better. The place seemed a lot cleaner. Will be back again.

The service was great. Food would be better if you knew what sauces you enjoyed. Very greedy with rice. One small bowl. No refills. Can go to chinese buffet with a hibachi and eat more while paying a lot less. Wouldnt go again. read more

Flies swarming around the buffet were a pretty significant turnoff. The carpet is sticky and the bartender decided to send a different drink than my order because he felt it's better than what I ordered. It's tasty but flies are dealbreakers. read more

I went to Kahns Mongolian Barbeque for lunch yesterday with a friend. As with most 'all you can eat' places I go to I will take a small plate of food to sample what looks interesting. I then go back for another small plate of the items I liked best. Unbeknownst to me, when I went up for the second plate I was eating dinner (more than one plate) and not lunch (one plate) anymore. My bill was almost twice my friends and she had more total food than I did. I looked around and could see no signs that explained this bizarre policy. Maybe it was tucked away in the menu somewhere but who reads a menu at a smorgasbord? The food wasn't very good either. read more

Very bland with their choice of sauces. Use to going to HuHot! This was VERY disappointing! Left 2/3rds of my food on my plate and I NEVER leave food on my plate! The drink I ordered tasted weird and my daughter ordered a soda that she never got. Well never be coming back, sorry, finding me a HuHot! read more

MMmmmm..... I have to agree that this place rocks! I was a little skeptical the first time we went, I thought it was a little weird that you go thru a line and put everything in a bowl and then have them grill it up in front of you. But it was SO tastey! I love that you can control the hottness of your meal! I like my food HOT while my hubby only likes it medium!! Fun place! read more

I just went out to this restaurant last night. The server brought back my drink in a dirty glass. I left without tipping her because it was clear that my glass was dirty. The food was ok except for the fact that the chefs waste 3/4 of what you put in your bowl. Oh yeah, the waitress that gave me the dirty glass had a nose ring. I'm never enter at this filthy place again. read more

Khan's used to be a solid recommendation in my book, but this place has been going downhill over the past couple of years. Cleanliness has dipped and so has the service. Food is still tasty though. read more

I have been coming here since about 1992. it was great in the 90's through about 2015 and has somewhat faded off. it use to be fun and the cooks had fun with the customers and there was a real upbeat vibe, that is gone now. it is a shadow of its former self and you can see it when you go in. There is a lot of original wait staff and that is awesome, but the cook now the last 8 or 10 times I have been in have been rude, they don't interact with the customers and they are often talk about the customers while they are cooking. we don't go very often anymore because of this. its to bad, it was a great place to go. read more

Maybe I should give this place a 5 star, but I have been coming to this restaurant for 28 years, and I am not as thrilled as I once was. When most people go to Khan's, they are looking for lots of interesting food -- self selected -- at an attractive price. I think the price is now a bit more than what I want to pay for that experience. That being said, get a great variety of selection to put into your bowl for grilling by the staff on their huge flat top. Before you hand off your bowl, there are helpful selections on what sauces to add. Also, I like to add peanuts to my bowls; they add a satisfying crunch to the meal. read more

So disappointed. I've been coming here for a few years, but hadn't been in for almost a year. Wow have things gone downhill! We arrived during the lunch time on a Saturday. They no longer give you buns with every meal only with the dinners. Which is fine, except for my husband got a second plate, which was charged to us as a dinner. So when we questioned the waitress on where the buns were that come with the meal she said they aren't any because they don't make them at lunch time. She said we could get some, but it would take a while. We agreed to wait, and when they bring us the buns, it was only one. I remember being able to get multiple refills on them. I'm disappointed because of how stingy they have become, and because they tried to charge us for things they weren't going to provide to us. Plus, the table next to us was experiencing the same thing. She was charged for a drink she didn't even order, or receive. Just watch your bill, and know what you're paying for! read more

I love this place! I always tell people that if they don't like it, they're just a bad cook. ;) I love that you can customize what and how much of each ingredient is in your meal. I also love making my own sauce. I recommend LOTS of garlic! :) read more

If the Mongolian hordes were fed this slop Genghis would never have conquered the majority of the then known world. For those that aren't going to read past my first couple of sentences - way too expensive for the poor quality you get. The meat is freezer burned and just above pet food quality. The vegetables don't look fresh and not prepped well. i.e. The snow peas are tough (a big NO NO for snow peas) and not de-veined. The set up is very messy (think cheap college cafeteria), the patrons pushy and the wait staff annoying. The sauces were completely uninteresting, without flavor and did not look clean. The grills looked like they had almost never been cleaned and disgusting. The décor beyond tacky and once again the place did not look clean. Also this place is totally white (I am white by the way); I like my Asian food, well, Asian. Any decent Chinese place will cost less for 10 times the quality of food and you have enough leftovers for at least one, if not two, more meals. NEVER AGAIN! read more

Compared to the Mongolian BBQ chain it was over-priced, service lacked, cooks was not as fun, and the choices of ingredients were fewer. We were told also the one bowl lunch option was not available costing our family an extra $4 each. read more

I don't know about you Dannielle. I have been going to this place when it first started out in Dinkytown. We were soooooooo impressed that we have going there for about nearly 40 years. I don;t know how you could say the flavor was bad and the food was greasy. They don't use much oil and it gets burned off on their grills and that little steamed bun is to die for. We started taking our kids there when they were knee high to a grasshopper and they loved it then and still love it now. They now are married with their own families.. If you wouldn't go the places in Seattle ,etc., then how do you have anything to compare it to and how do you know how it tastes better. How you could you possibly say those buns were not good. To my family and I , they are to die for .I have gotten a recipe to replicate it at home that's how much we love those buns. As far as the flavor, Danielle , you are the one who puts the flavor in the food with the sauces, seasonings and oil you put on the food. I will say however this place could use an update and cleaned up a bit and a year ago when we were there I observed an employee not being so cleanly. I hope that has changed. This woman used a cloth that maybe was or was not clean and scooped up particles that were on the ledge of the buffet and and threw them back into the clean food. I was upset because those were dropped pieces of food on the buffet and could have been touched by other patrons. There is no telling how clean those people are. The place is not filled with trash, what I have seen were a lot of business people and office workers that work in the area and local families. I have not experienced loud noise but a lot of conversations going on because most people come in with a lot of other people or 2 couples per table. Normally you will see more than 4 people at one table. read more

I actually liked this place quite a bit and will certainly be coming back! I was only disappointed that the lunch option for one bowl does not include the buns with sugar inside. The noodles were tasty, I loved how many veggies they had, and they even had decent seafood(calamari and shrimp). A person working there helped me with the sauces but next time I'll do it myself, she added too much oyster sauce and my noodles ended up being too salty. The cooks were very good, didn't really make conversation, but were not insulting or anything like that either. I really liked the idea of designing my own meal and look forward to returning. read more

The food is good, but the service is not great. The restaurant was practically empty and we waited for about 20 minutes for our server to bring the bill. When he brought it he said "I just got swamped with customers" What customers? Hate to think of what it's like when the restaurant is actually full. read more

Wish they had more ingredients. The food can get really salt if you use too much sauce.

Great waitress but manager compared one bowl to Old Country Buffet. He should not manage anything with his snide, abrupt, snotty disposition and aggressive body language. He shouted at my friend as we were at our cars outside. Can you say nasty? Really too bad for such a beautiful day read more

I love Khan's. You control the outcome of your stir fry by choosing your own ingredients and spices/oils. It's really good.
