    Mongolian beef
    Rebecca R.

    So we came here after a few of our coworkers hyped it up. I can now respectively say the hype was in fact genuine. It was super clean tasty and the service was very helpful and sat us essentially right away. You come in and from the start get two bowls. There is a method to be had but I'll let you try it for yourself. I do recommend the jalepeno be added it gives it a great kick

    We arrived around 6:30 and there wasn't a lot of people in general. I'm not sure how busy it can get, but it was nice and quiet when we were there. The veggie selection isn't as plentiful compared to other Mongolian bbq I've been to in the past but I really only get broccoli in mine so nbd. I'm very happy with the sauce selection, garlic and oyster sauce all the way. Topped it with some sesame oil after it was cooked. I like how you can get 2 bowls in one trip, that way I can have more noodles and not have to play the balance game in one bowl. There's ice cream available, which I didn't have given how stuffed I was from eating all day. There's a drink fridge which you can grab your own drink. You pay for your meal when you walk out.

    This was my first time trying this place out! I was pleasantly surprised by the awesome food! You don't find these joints as much as there used to be, but if you like Mongolian BBQ you have to check this place out! You get two trips to the food bar and they cook the food in front of you. They have a variety of meats: chicken, beef, pork and lamb! They have lots of veggies for you to use and I love that they had pineapples! They had all the sauces and oils you need to make your food delicious! I highly recommend you check this place out if you are in the Menlo Park area. They also had vanilla soft serve that tastes just like McDonald's! Mind blown! This gem is located in a plaza next to BevMo, Big 5 and Staples! It looks to be family owned. Show them some love! I will definitely be back!

    Came here for the first time. The staff was friendly and attentive. I came with a group of 6 and had no issues getting seated quickly. The food was good but a little pricey. I still recommend giving it a try.

    All ingredients were refilled quickly

    If you love Su's Mongolian near Santa Clara University, you'll love MP Mongolian. When I found this place, I was curious to see how it compared. Little did I know, they're practically the same place! When I asked the owner, she said her sister owns Su's Mongolian! Therefore, their food taste and quality is exactly the same. This place however seems newer and slightly more modern. The lines are not too bad at all! There is also plenty of seating! The exterior looks like it would be part of an industrial business area, and it has a lot of parking! Service was good and I had my water refilled right away. There is also an all you can eat self serve soft serve machine with really milky tasting soft serve. When making my bowl, I always go with the 1st timer recipe for sauce. It's the flavor I prefer, however you can tailor it to your preference. My partner always makes a bowl with just the pineapple juice to make his bowl sweeter and more bulgogi tasting. This place is my jam!

    I've never been charged for taking leftovers home. Flabbergasted.

    Beware: they charge you if you want to take leftovers home. Definitely not coming back here again. Came here on a whim on the way home from the airport, should've just gone straight home. Buffet options are very limited. Ingredients are either unwashed (skip the mushrooms, they had dirt still on them) or not washed well. The sauce options used for both before and after cooking are all bland and tasted stale. Service was disappointing. The cook and servers all stared us down while we were grabbing our food. Felt like they were watching us to see how much food we put into our bowls (because god forbid paying customers take the amount of food they want... at a buffet). Cherry on top? The extra charge for the to-go box. It's not even the amount, it's the principle of the matter. For the first time in my life, I'm being charged for a to-go box to take home LEFTOVERS. The lady (same one who rang us up) seemed to not understand that yes, people take leftovers home. When I asked for a box, she was very confused. We had over half of the bowl left too. I even pointed to the bowl to show her and she still didn't seem to understand. Do they eat their customers' leftovers, is that why she was confused? I genuinely do not understand her reaction to such a standard request at a restaurant. The place was decently clean. Nothing to write home about. Editing to add: they also calculate tip based on the total, not subtotal on their POS system. Be sure to double check the tip so you're not paying tip on the sales tax. So frustrating when restaurants do this. Such a shady and dishonest way to do business.

    Make your own Mongolian BBQ bowl

    make your own Mongolian bbq noodle bowl. You get 4 bowls, 2 trips for 25$ which is a pretty good deal, but it's only for dine in. Free ice cream and rice whenever you please and there's no time limit for you to finish your food. You can only take the first round of food togo and the second round if you stay to eat you can't take it togo. Weird concept, but makes sense to encourage customers to dine in. There's free refills on only fountain drinks, but make sure to ask for the fountain coke instead of just saying coke because last time they gave us a canned coke and we had no idea they had fountain drinks with free refills. The staff's friendly, but can barely speak english, they have a young boy working the cashier who is kind and helps to translate. Overall bee here a couple times, food is good if you're looking for a place to eat with a big serving and ambiance is okay, spacious, but a little loud. 8.5/10

    Isabella D.

    If I could give this place 6 stars, I would. The options of proteins, veggies, and sauces were amazing and fit various food preferences. The food was made in such a fast manner and tasted amazing. The service was fast and nice. And you get vanilla soft serve ice cream included with the meal! Overall, highly recommend trying this place, they definitely just earned a lifetime customer!

    Plaza parking is available Come hungry! Haha I'd consider this a bang for your buck given the Menlo Park/Palo Alto area Mongolian BBQ is one of my favorite dishes and it's always my go-to if it's available in shopping malls so I'm happy to see there's a restaurant dedicated specifically to it Once you walk in, you're greeted by the owner (I believe) and to the right is when you begin the process! 2 rounds total ($23.xx dinner price and additional $11 I believe per round afterwards) 4 bowls max, essentially - one to hold all your veggies - one to hold all your noodles and proteins I love the variety they offer for proteins such as lamb and tofu Me and bb were left feeling stuffed by the end of the night Would recommend if you're wanting a cheap eats in the area and will be back to bring my brother too hehe

Rather than dismissing our concerns, they took our feedback to heart and extended an invitation to return--one we decided to accept. Last night, we had dinner at Arya and it was the event of the day for my wife and me. From the moment we arrived, the entire team--from the receptionists to our server Serdar and the support staff--treated us as honored guests. Every interaction felt warm and genuine. The food was exceptional. We started with a mezze platter featuring delicious spreads, pastries, and felafel, followed by a mixed green salad that showcased some of the best burrata we've ever had, topped with tiny, sweet berries. Our main courses were equally memorable: a stunning Fesenjoon pomegranate-walnut chicken stew with a perfect balance of slightly sweet and tart, and a side of basmati rice studded with almonds, pistachios, berries, and orange peel. Each dish was thoughtfully prepared, beautifully presented, unique, and delicious. But what truly made the evening special was the service and genuine hospitality. Serdar, our server, was remarkably warm and attentive. We had fascinating conversations with him about his world travels, the uniqueness of Persian cuisine, and his recommendations for authentic Turkish breakfast and dinner spots (he's half Greek and half Turkish, which made his recommendations all the more authentic and personal). Mehdi introduced himself during the meal and checked in on us with a genuine interest in our experience, not just as a manager, but as someone who truly cares. When we mentioned we had no room for dessert, Mehdi surprised us with a beautifully presented pistachio-saffron ice cream served in an ornate bowl made of ice--a perfect final touch that felt like a work of art. This visit demonstrated that Arya is a restaurant that listens, cares, and delivers on its promise to provide not just excellent food, but genuine hospitality. We left feeling valued and delighted.
