As a Mongolian bbq lover I can say this place gets a thumbs up. It's hard to find a good Mongolian bbq place these days and have been disappointed from the places I've tried but I finally found one that's just as good as the one in my hometown! Just bummed that it's far from where I currently live. Love how they let you pack your bowl with exactly what you want, and the noodles are included separate so you can fit plenty of the ingredients you want. The bowl looks small but it's actually a lot of food. Meat quality was really good. Everything looked and tasted so fresh. They had all my favorite toppings available so I was really happy about that. The lady that helped mix our sauces knows what she's doing. Not too salty and not bland, just the right amount of flavor. If you like spice, add the sriracha and pepper flakes on top. Great portions, fresh ingredients, flavor is just right. Perfect meal after shopping or if you're craving that nostalgic Mongolian bbq vibe. read more

Came here on a Saturday late evening with my boys, about 30 minutes before closing. The food was average--there wasn't much flavor, and there wasn't enough meat to distribute fairly. The vegetable selection was also pretty limited. The outdoor seating was convenient, especially given the hot weather, and the atmosphere outside was nice. Honestly, I wouldn't come back to eat here. read more

The service is terrible. The attitude of holding the lid to hold the lid to put ingredients and everything is too inconvenient. The food tastes bad and the ingredients are fresh. No. I won't go again. read more

MONGQ is a good Mongolian BBQ spot in the heart of the Orange Outlets (The Block). Each plate is about $15 and if you want extra noodles it's $3. You start with your meat selection and this is a self-serve restaurant (like most Mongolian BBQ spots) so be prepared to get your Tetris going. The protein selection was normal with chicken, pork, and beef - but I was surprised to see them offer beef brisket! The vegetable selection is also standard with all expected options like water chestnuts, corn, jalapeno, mushrooms, etc. At the end, the staff will ask for spiciness level, garlic, and sauce. I just went with spicy and all the recommended sauce. I will say though that if you are a spice lover, spicy isn't that spicy. The overall flavor of the dish was good, but I felt like it was lacking a deeper depth that I am accustomed to from other Mongolian spots. The staff is nice and the restaurant is clean. I came on a Tuesday night and there was plenty of outdoor seating, but I could see the seating fill up quick if it was a weekend. read more

I had the opportunity to create my own bowl, which was affordably priced at just under $15. Option to choose your meat(s) and veggies. The food quality was okay. I went with the recommended sauces, but wished they were more flavorful. The interior of the restaurant was clean and well organized. read more

Mong Q - Beef and noodles with added tomatoes, squash, cilantro, broccoli and onions - $14.99 - Mongolian Near Me - Orange, California

One of the first dates Toby and I had when she visited here for the first time was a Mongolian BBQ place at the mall. I told her in high school there was a famous Mongolian BBQ joint near the school that every Senior made it a point to have a picture taken at for the yearbook--like a tradition. But unlike Mong Q, the food they served there was pretty forgettable, especially for a sit-down type place. Mong Q for being a far more fast casual joint really delivered a quality entree of exactly what I was looking for--lots of brisket and pork loin, a ship ton of garlic, veggies, and a lot of sauce over a bed of noodles. You couldn't ask for anything more from a quick and dirty Mongolian BBQ joint when the hunger is high and the time left before your movie is low. The service was S-Tier. They got me my food and drink fast, fast, fast. They didn't do a lot of back and forth with making my bowl. They just took what was given to them and did me right by handing me back a quality tasty bowl of yum. The quarters, while not huge, was still clean and kind of had a modern touch. I wouldn't mind hanging out here after the meal just shooting the ship with friends; it had that kind of vibe to it. All in all, this is a great option at The Block and one I'll have to keep in mind going forward when I'm here to catch a film. read more

1. The spot has good options to add to the bowl! 2. The spot also has fun casual vibes since it is located inside an outdoor shopping center! 3. There are indoor and outdoor seatings! 4. The staff were friendly and kindly suggested for me to add more meat since I can add as much as I can stack into the bowl! 5. There are lots of parking but it can get busy depending on time and day! Note: This spot does not have their own restrooms for customers, but there are multiple restroom areas in the shopping center! Photo: Mongolian BBQ Bowl (Regular) read more

Mid food. Not bad but also not great. Wouldn't go out of my way to come back here but was a decent lunch.

I used to love this place but today I will no longer eat there ever again after what I just witnessed. I witnessed the older Asian guy that wears a black hair cap that works there use the restroom and walk out without washing his hands!!!!!! We both walked out of the restroom at the same time and we walked the same direction so I wanted to see if he was going to wash his hands as soon as he got back to the restaurant but no!!!! He went straight to helping customers without washing hands!!! Eat here at your own risk read more

While not an entirely unpleasant experience, Mong Q isn't somewhere I'd recommend for good food. Staff is friendly, and service is quick - time spent really just depends on how quickly you build your bowl and hand it over to be cooked since the cooking portion only takes a minute or two. There are a few indoor and outdoor tables. No restroom, but there are plenty throughout the mall itself. Plenty of parking all the way around the mall. The noise level stays mild-moderate as most people take their food to go. Two stars taken off for the food and prices. While they do have a decent selection of toppings that look pretty fresh, the meat options are frozen and usually broken into tiny pieces - meaning they disappear once cooked. The final product is greasy and honestly just tastes like oil despite the use of sauces. For what you get, the price is expensive. Not too many drink options (water and fountain drinks), but those aren't priced too bad. I regret not checking reviews before I stopped here, but hopefully I can save you the trouble. read more

Came here on a Friday night and was greeted right away when I walked in. There were a few people ahead of me, but the service was surprisingly quick and efficient. You pay a set price and fill your bowl however you want. The bowl looks small at first, but once it's cooked and served with the added noodles, it's actually a generous amount of food. One of the best parts is choosing your own sauces and seasonings, which really makes or breaks the dish. I went with hot sauce, lemon sauce, garlic, and their house sauce, and it turned out super flavorful and well seasoned. Honestly, I thought it was better seasoned than the typical Genghis Khan-style Mongolian BBQ you usually find in malls. Would definitely come back. read more

My boyfriend is the biggest fan of Mongolian BBQ. We noticed this spot opened up and I knew we had to try it out. I have to start off with the amazing service from Hector and the cook! They were both so nice and gave us a smile as we walked in. Hector let us know that the store was new and even welcomed us back. Our bowls were stuffed ! They are so generous with the portions here. Hector explained the different sauces which were very helpful. At our usual spot, they just slam everything together and push you along. Not here! The store is also spotless. There is plenty of seating but we took ours to go. The plate was enough to feed me and my boyfriend. We added spice but next time we'll have to add more. Don't miss out on this new storefront ! read more

I've long been anticipating the opening of this place, as Mongolian BBQ feels like a dying trend yet it's such a mall essential, and it's awesome that Orange has a new, more local place. Since it's new, it's very clean, and though inside seating is a bit limited, if it's not peak dining hours, you can probably get a seat or just sit outside. It's pretty straightforward where you get your bowl, fill it up with meat and veggies, and then they will actually cook noodles on the side, so feel free to fill your bowl up as much as possible. They will also do the sauces for you, so you're not making a whole mess. They have two sizes, the small and the large, and I found the large to be a decent portion, though perhaps a bit expensive compared to the nearby Red Peak, but honestly, I'm not scientifically measuring things, and my appetite is so variable it's hard to tell. You really can't go wrong with Red Peak pricing though, but Mong Q gets the benefit for being in a convenient location. I will have to hand it to Mong Q for having the better flavor profile when it comes to sauces though, sometimes Red Peak can feel like too much is going on at once. I'm glad that this opened and will definitely be back, maybe making it a regular outing when catching a movie in AMC and wanting to food coma so I crash halfway through the movie. TIP: You don't have to leave room for the noodles, so pile it on up! read more

I've had a hyper fixation with Mongolian BBQ but only at my local mall. Swore up and down that no place could compete, and then I came here and yes, a place finally does compete. Two sizes available and it's encouraged to fill up your bowl as much as you can. Plenty of options to choose from and cooked quickly. Seating is a little awkward inside but the flavor was great. I'll be back! read more

Food was amazing!! Very tasty. Everything was clean and the staff were very helpful with their recommendations which made the food taste even better. Portions were a perfect size, very worth the price. It was a nice meal/break after walking around shopping all day. read more

So happy to finally have a Mongolian Bbq place close by! It's nice being able to get a large to share right before watching movies at AMC~ I highly recommend stacking your toppings as much as you can to get your moneys worth! I wish there was a teriyaki sauce to add a bit more sweetness, but other than that, the experience is very streamlined and everyone was very nice. I would definitely be coming back here again!~ read more

Dinner time and it was empty should've been my warning; we walk in about to enjoy a nice Mongolian BBQ meals. We started putting the food into the bowl and we were wondering why to-go they used the glass bowl instead of the box. Well, then when we were about to finish adding the food to the tiny bowl an OG guys (probably owner) came over started yapping not to use the hand when the meat fell of the bowl. He continues and we told him why didn't they give us a to go box. The bowls are angle, tiny and not flat so you cannot put much in it. Instead of making all these excuses why not just say I'm a tight wad owner and don't want you putting much food into a bowl. But at least let us put enough food to be full after the meal my goodness! Obstensibly, there is a sign that states not to use your hands when food falls over the bowl which we didn't see like we are there to read lol... Meanwhile he is here picking up our bowl and complaining and spitting in the bowl. That's ok but don't use your hand or be prepared for a tongue lashing! Then we just said forget it and left. We see why it was empty in the restaurant. Meat was stone hard very sparse amount in each selection. We got veggies first since we prefer veggies and then put the meat after. Cheaping out and then charging almost $20 a bowl is a joke. They should visit Hong Kong Express across the mall ... read more

I was at Rubio's waiting for my order and when I looked across to this place I saw this guy standing there and grabbing a piece of something from the topping selection and eating it. He did it several times so that's when I decided to take a photo. I felt like I needed to let the manager know. I looked and looked but there is no phone number listed for this establishment which is why I am writing this review. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. Pretty gross if you ask me. I have eaten here once and after what I saw, I am never going to eat here again. read more

This is the new place to go for a great Mongolian BBQ meal. Here you have the option of chose and serve your own food: meats, veggies, topings and sauces on two sizes of bowls. Tasty classic mongolian. The personal is friendly and the place is very clean, making a good job there. The place is small, the best option is take out food, mine was still hot after 30 minutes. Worth the price for the quality of the food there. Definitively recommended. read more

Staff is friendly and helpful. They have a good variety of meats and veggies. They have different size Bowls. I got a small and was able to fill my bowl with a good quantity of food. The price is similar to other places. They have seating inside as well as outside. My order was to go. The food was good! read more

Mong Q - Small Mongolian BBQ plate - Mongolian Near Me - Orange, California

Finally a good Mongolian BBQ place in Orange County and it's located at the Block of Orange! If you've never had Mongolian BBQ this is the best place to try. It's a fun process where you get to pick everything you want in your bowl. Pick a small or large and stuff it with as much meat or veggies that fit into the bowl. Once you're done, you tell them what sauce you want in the bowl or you can ask them for their recommendation. Watch them add noodles, and cook all the items in your bowl on their big grill. It's so fun to watch it all get cooked in front of you. The sauces that they have here is what makes it so good and unique. I highly recommend adding their house teriyaki at the end of the process!! I love this place and will definitely be back! read more

Honestly a really great Mongolian place that is a close distance. I have gone multiple times since then and I recommend it.

Amazing food! This was hands down the best Mongolian-style meal I've had in a long time. The prices are reasonable, and the service is outstanding. The restaurant has a sleek, modern vibe with a calming atmosphere. The owner suggested mixing all the sauces together with one scoop of the spice sauce, and it turned out perfectly--full of flavor with just the right amount of spice. They are not shy with their portions either. Exactly what I was craving! I've finally found a great spot at The Block, other than Buffalo Wild Wings. That's saying a lot! read more

The Asian female employee who seemed to be the owner or owner's wife was rude and kept forcing me to buy water or drinks, and wouldn't let me put more food in (Mongolians originally enjoy pressing down on their food to put more in). I had a stomachache for two days because they only used cheap ingredients. I wonder what the restaurant's rating is, and I will never come here again. read more

Big fan of Mongolian bbq so I was super excited to see this place open up at the block. Quality of the food was great and the amount of noodles you get was more than enough (we ordered a large). They offer a brisket in addition to the normal beef and it was so tender. Definitely will be back! read more

Just a bit costly but overall it is great. Fresh ingredients and a good variety of choices.

I loved that you could choose a small bowl or a big bowl and even pay for extra noodles. I didn't like that by the time I got home with it (a 20 minute drive) it was dry. But I'd definitely go here again. I really liked it. It was delicious. The cashier seemed like he was in a bad mood with everyone who asked questions lol. But I was nice and he was polite to me. Maybe because I didn't ask questions lol read more
