A Golden bowl of Happiness! When you get one bowl you can't help it but to get ANOTHER one, and ANOTHER one and ANOTHER one.

This place is just as rude and dirty as their other place in Elk Grove. Rude staff, bad food, dirty tables and floor. The meat tasted off. They watch you like a buzzard . Keep coming by the table acting nosy, but never said squat. We still had to ask for drink refills and they acted all put out. I'm caucasian, but my friend is not . They were eye balling her like a hooker getting ready to steal a bottle of soy sauce . read more

Rude service They're watching your every move! Prices are ridiculous. You can choose take out for a dollar less but they tell you can eat it here. Then they serve you in foam to go boxes which wasn't mentioned Not worth it. The services it self not worth going back. read more

Very bad service with the guys cooking they threw the noodles into my to go plate as if it was trash and don't use glove they don't wash their hands and they touch everything very bad experience read more

Time for an update! I had not been here in years because my last trip was not good. We came for dinner on a weekday. It was $17.75 for all you can eat. You order at the counter, they give you a bowl and assign you a table. I thought that was odd but discovered later that is how you get a new bowl for your next round. I liked the selection. They had Tofu. A lot of places don't anymore. The sauces are still a bit weak so I put a little more. They didn't have lobster sauce. Wait time was good. It isn't the best but it isn't the worst I have had. I would go again especially since it is close to home. Fair prices. Yes, not the friendliest but also Asian owned it appears. Its just how it is. read more

Negative signs, nobody smiles, cooked food was mixed hot and cold. Expensive. No soup! No lamb! No ambiance! Nobody checks on you.

Service was great, price is great, the place is a little outdated and dirty but I'm not here for ambiance, I'm here for the all you can eat. It has everything you would want. Definitely recommend read more

Sizzling Fresh Mongolian BBQ - Menus pricing updated October 1st 2025 - Mongolian Near Me - Sacramento, California

It says it's open til 9pm. Staff was cleaned up by 8:30pm and out the door by 8:45pm. Walked in and everything was put away. I don't know where there were all going, leaving work early. No emergency just all cutting out because maybe they were slow. But if you say you're open til a certain time, you must stay open even if it's a slow night. Unprofessional. Change your advertised hours if business is bad and slow. read more

I was craving Mongolian BBQ. As my husband and I came in through the door, we were greeted by a staff member mopping the floor. I nearly fell but thankfully my husband kept me upright. The staff member apologized, but I think she needed something to dry the wet floor. I held on to my husband as we navigated the ingredient buffet. The selection was good with the standard items. I do wish they could have given us a plate of sweet and sour wontons. We were given one a piece. I miss the sesame biscuits from other Mongolian BBQs, so I always add a bunch of sesame seeds in my bowl. The instructions/rules for All You Can Eat were confusing. I can never finish a whole bowl so I prefer takeout. Two signs said All You Can Eat dinner doesn't qualify for takeout. Yet, I saw three customers carrying takeout packages... My husband ordered AYCE for us. The receipt said take out. I was confused even more but didn't want to chase down a staff member and risk slipping on the wet floor. I ate about 80% of it as I was hungry. We weren't offered packaging for to go, so I'm still confused. Besides, the mix of top 40 radio and the ventilation system made communication a bit difficult. Overall, I enjoyed my food. Good stuff. I joke about the little things that happened that night, but the most important part was a clean restaurant, pleasant staff, and good food. In fact, I'm craving it again... read more

I went her because years ago we would go for lunch at work. But that was before "COVID". That was and is awful!! Anyway when i went for dinner it was all you could eat. You make your own food and its cooked for you. The restaurant is extremely clean and pleasant. I was assigned a table and given a bowl to make my selection of meat etc. it was just as tasty as I remembered! Will have to go once a month just to have a nice warm meal. read more

Sizzling Fresh Mongolian BBQ - My dinner - Mongolian Near Me - Sacramento, California

I've been coming to this place since I was a little kid and it's still one of my absolute favorite comfort meals. I love that you get to choose everything that goes into your noodles, and the all-you-can-eat option makes it a good value if you dine in. However, their prices have risen steeply in the last couple of years. Today I got one to-go bowl and it was over $18 (in 2019 this was around $12, for reference). Even though it's a lot of food, dining here is starting to get pretty overpriced for what it is. read more

A popular dinner place The customer service is good the vegetables/meats are always fresh and the price fair my family and I come often

Sizzling Mongolian bbq has been a part of my childhood since middle school, and for a reason. This place serves delicious and fresh Mongolian bbq items that are affordable for the family ($15 lunch). The only bad thing is that the bowls are so small you can't even fit sauces in it sometimes. I wish they would let us put sauce in after ! They're pretty nice when it comes to it but to ask every time and get that look... I'd rather not. Good place to eat ! Recommend read more

The service was terrible all the way around. The lady working the counter was rude, the cooks were ride and nobody ever came to check on us. The Rice and egg rolls were served cold. The environment is not welcoming. I would recommend finding somewhere else to eat!! read more

The ingredients are fresh and are of a wide variety. They don't overcook the bowl as other places do. All that is added during cooking is water. No crab Rangoon. Rice , wanton cracker and spring roll. Not the best layout for the soda fountain. But all in all, very good. You will be happy read more

Having been to Sizzling Fresh Mongolian BBQ several times over the years, my family and I decided to go again after hearing there was new ownership. There is plenty of parking in the large shopping area with several stores and other food options nearby. The inside of the restaurant is relatively small, but has plenty of seating for everyone. The ambiance of the restaurant is similar to most restaurants, with some talking and background music in the background. With the new ownership they added a little stamp that you have to show to get a new bowl which was fine. The staff quickly rung us up and gave us the bowls to get started. Similar to most Mongolian BBQ locations you load up your own food to your liking and hand it to someone to cook. They have a fair amount of topping options. The noodles are yummy, especially if you prepare them well. The secret to flavorful noodles is to double everything on their recommended sauces and add extra to your preference. You also get a side of rice and a spring roll with every order, which is a nice cherry on the top. The pricing is a bit on the expensive side, but for all you can eat you can definitely get your moneys worth. Overall Sizzling Fresh Mongolian BBQ is a solid spot to eat to your hearts desire! read more

Sizzling Fresh Mongolian BBQ - Mongolian Near Me - Sacramento, California

I ordered 3 bowls to go and asked for 6 to go cups for the teriyaki and spicy sauce since we weren't staying at the restaurant. That was a huge mistake as the lady was rude and said we can only have 3. She appeared as if I asked for the most egregious thing possible. Me asking for 6 tiny size to go cups was apparently just asking for too much. Now when I approach the lady I was polite with a please and thank you. She told me no and that I would have to add the 2nd sauce to the food. Now that made no sense as I would be adding more sauce to the food than if I would have just used the to go cup as I asked for. Now I just paid almost 50 dollars there and I couldn't get 3 extra cups. I mean I would have went to Walmart and bought extra cups if they needed them that bad. As I was leaving I did ask if the policy was posted anywhere and she said no very abruptly. So is it a restaurant policy or did she not want to get up to get me cups or she just didn't want to give me the cups personally. I would have paid for the extra cups if it was a posted restaurant policy. May that rude lady have the day she deserves. I will not be going back there. I rather travel to Roseville and get my Mongolian next time. It's too bad that they have rude people working there as they are already pricey read more

Sizzling Fresh Mongolian BBQ - The infamous tiny cup that's not worth a posted store policy about but you can only have one. - Mongolian Near Me - Sacramento, California

I'm not sure why this place isn't rated higher. I remember back in the day it would always be packed. We went on a weeknight and it was kind of slow. It was sad because their food is really good and fresh. People complaining that it's too expensive? It's all you can eat. A burger meal will cost you about this much now. I made a bowl with beef, a ton of noodles and their spicy sauce. It was super flavorful. My husband had two bowls and our one year old son absolutely loved the noodles. Everyone was super friendly too. read more

The service was Great. Simple. How it should be. read more

They got new management or cooks but they flood your food with water and then don't cook it high enough to where the food actually cooks with the sauces you put in the bowl. Just as hot inside as outside on 90 degree day. read more

I mean it's not bad, just a run of the mill place. Decent quality, decent cleanness. (Minus the bug in the sugar water) But why are the cooks always so pissed off? Never acknowledging you, toss plates on the counter. Part of the coolness is them cooking it, I think it should be part of the fun. Super expensive 17.75 for dinner and $4 for a soda. Steep in my book especially for just basic no frills Mongolian read more

I asked the cooks to scrape the grill for me, so I didn't have to taste all the other food on the grill. I don't think they spoke english so they didn't understand me. But the food was okay. The service is whatever. read more

It's my first time to dine here. It's a make your own bowl and the taste will depend on how good you make your sauce. They have a suggested amount of scoops per sauce to blend but mine still turned out a little bitter for my taste. I'm not sure if it's the cooking wine. They also only have one type of noodles which are thick noodles so your bowl will fill up fast. The service was fast though. The place was clean, quiet and not packed on a weekday lunch time. read more

An average Mongolian BBQ place The price is a little high. I don't like the fact that even though it's all-you-can-eat, every time you want more food, you have to go back to the cash register to ask them for a new bowl. It feels awkward, like you have to ask them for permission to get more food, even though you paid full-price for all-you-can-eat They give you an egg roll and some rice to begin with. Those taste pretty good. The kinds of food you can choose for BBQ is ok. Mostly beef, sheep, chicken, and various veggies. I kind of wish they served soup, like egg-drop soup. There is a cinema next door. In the evening, folks with families would usually eat a meal here before going next door to the movies. So around night-time, they get a lot of customers. The inside renovation is nice. Clean. Staff is friendly. Overall, an OK place for mongolian BBQ read more

Sizzling Fresh Mongolian BBQ - Recipe: beef, a lot of spinach, carrots, noodles, 2 house sauce, 1 soy sauce , 1 teriyaki sauce, dash of chili oil, 3 sugar water - Mongolian Near Me - Sacramento, California

Sizzle sizzle goes the food on the hot surface. The process is easy, walk in go to register decide on eat in or togo. Then walk over and choose your goodies. From many veggies to 4 proteins(beef, Turkey, chicken or pork) all are sliced thin on proteins. But at the end of the line before you get to the people manning the hot top they do have some tofu for a 5th protein. After the proteins you goto the veggie section. So many to choose from. If your on the all you can eat, dont worry about filling the bowl, get what you want and go again. Unless your on the lunch 1x bowl then break out your tetris skills and stack it up. Then once done stacking and packing now comes the liquids. They have a bunch of them, from house sauce, hot sauce, teriyaki, ginger water, sugar water, wine and I think a few others. Then top it off with cilantro, garlic, chestnuts, pinepalle, or tofu. Then it goes to the the chef. He does it walk around a few times with the food as he turns the food over and over with these huge chopsticks as my kids call it. If you didn't add enough liquids to your bowl they add on water to help steam and move the cooking process along. Then he slides the bowl to you and then you can give it the final toppings, peanuts, sriracha, and/or sesame seeds. Now for a few pro tips. If you go with noodles kinda look at the grill real quick. If there is a huge line and it looks a bit cooked on from all the other food the noodles will come out a bit darker with that cooked flavor. Not to yummy personally. But when the lines is gone they do a quick clean, turn the heat up, toss water on and scrape it off. If you happen to go after this the food tastes so good and noodles are lightly colored. My 1st bowl was before the cleaning, But my 2nd bowl was on that fresh cleaned one and made a huge difference. 2nd tip, they watch everyone and will call you on stuff. Seen people take a water cup which they give you clear and get soda and talked to quickly.(soda cups are the red ones) Or if you bought a lunch 1x bowl and didnt order AYCE but yet somehow get back in line for another round. They now handout the bowls to you at the table once your done eating it, if you don't wait for them you can go up to them but they will ask what table and then bring it to you, so they can make sure also. They have changed things since many people tried to get buy on a few items. read more

This establishment is no longer letting people go back for seconds after paying for a bowl (14.25, plus tax). I witnessed some patrons "piling" up the food in the bowl like they haven't eaten in a month. All I'm going to say is, be thoughtful people. Just because it's one trip through the line, if you were that hungry and could actually finish all the food you piled in your bowl in the first place, you should've gone to an all you can eat place instead. I'm no skinny Minnie but, one average size filled bowl filled me up! The restaurant has cut down on the various topping that they offered before the pandemic. They have basic ingredients only. This place is only "ok" in my opinion if you are getting hangry and need food right away so you don't turn into a beast. Haha!! read more

Came in for some dinner before a movie and it was not bad. A little pricy for one plate but if you stuff your bowl then it can be worth it. The plate you get is served with rice and an egg roll. Nothing special and oddly they put a paper on top of the rice and egg roll then put your stir fry on top. Kind of makes it hard to eat the rice and the paper gets soggy so it can get mixed into your food. Maybe ask before hand for them not to do so but outside of that the flavors you can pick are pretty good. read more

Sizzling Fresh Mongolian BBQ - Mongolian Near Me - Sacramento, California

Sizzling Fresh Mongolian BBQ is not bad for Mongolian BBQ, but not outstanding either. I have been here once or twice many years ago and have had pretty decent experiences, but more recently, I came on a Tuesday evening and my experience was just okay. First, as far as prices, an adult bowl is $14.25 plus tax and a kids bowl is $10.15 plus tax. The prices sure have gone up over the years, but that seems to be the standard at most establishments. We ordered one kids bowl and we were able to pick all the ingredients for our bowl on our own. They have pork, beef, and chicken for meats, several veggie options such as spinach, mushrooms, bell peppers, zucchini, broccoli, and then noodles, sauces, and toppings. Small cubes of tofu are a topping as well. We piled our bowl high and brought it to the chef. The chef picked up and dropped my bowl on the counter by accident which caused some noodles and other items from our bowl to fall out. He was nice enough to let us get some more noodles to replace the dropped items. When our food was done being cooked, the chef put the cooked food in a styrofoam take out container, which had some rice and one egg roll in it. We ate at the restaurant and the food was not bad. The meats looked dark and a bit overcooked. The noodles were good and most of the veggies were not bad or a bit overcooked. It's possible that because we added noodles after our initial bowl already started cooking, the chef might have overcooked the items in the first bowl. Overall, our experience was somewhere between okay to good. The lady ringing up orders did not seem to know that the restaurant does not take Discover credit card because when I asked her, she didn't know, and then she kept having me swipe my credit card each time it didn't go through. On the plus side, the restaurant provided hand sanitizer and plastic gloves for everyone before getting their own food. The chefs were pretty nice and hard working. Business was pretty decent as there was a steady stream of customers the entire evening. But what is most fun about eating at a Mongolian BBQ restaurant is watching customers pile their bowls as high of a mountain as they can get. You can tell who the experienced ones are, lol. One person I saw had me in shock with ingredients that reached almost a foot from the top of the bowl! There was so much food, the styrofoam container could barely close! I was impressed to say the least. And the chefs never seem to mind how big or small the bowls are. read more

Sizzling Fresh Mongolian BBQ - Mongolian BBQ ~ $14.25 for adults, $10.15 for kids - Mongolian Near Me - Sacramento, California

Place is over priced. I get that everything is going UP, but y'all are charging almost $20 for a bowl that we barely can put food in our TINY BOWL. And also make sure you say TO-GO so you can take your food in a box and is okay to at a table,, or they will have you eat or waste your food because you DIDN'T say TO-GO. They'll give a "bigger" bowl for you to eat at the table, the fuck is that. Other then that the FOOD IS AMAZING. but OVERLY PRICED. read more

Hello, I want to take a time to put in a review for this place... I came into this establishment on January 23, 2025 for to have a takeout dinner of Mongolian... When I approach to Pay once again could not understand the lady what she was sayinghad an issue with that a while back when we came into this establishment for a takeout... All I wanted was to get my food... So I paid $17 for the small bowl that you have to cram everything in and hopefully nothing falls out and put the topping dressings and whatever else into the small little bowl... $17 I look over to the people behind me to their bowl and their bowl is bigger because while once again, I'm taking it out and they're staying that shouldn't be happening But I kept going. I get to my place to put your ladles of whatever you pick to make your food taste good hand in my bowl they cooked it stuck it in the container and I packaged up and took it home. The only reason why I'm writing this to you when I got home I opened it up, tasted it, and it was awful, awful awful. None of the sauces I used tasted anywhere throughout this whole thing, it was so oily so greasy I don't even know what to say. I'll never go back again... I even called the place to complain and once again the lady picked up the phone could not understand anything of what she was saying didn't even understand what I was trying to say other than I told her I had a complaint about the food and that I will never go back to that establishment again so people that take your food out to go Make sure you taste it before you leave because when I got home, I was very disappointed. I threw it away $17 of grease no Kung pao taste no ginger not even the house sauce just grease oil terrible thank you for reading. read more

Food was good, great selection of veggies and sauces. Each of us was brought an additional little bowl of rice and an egg roll, which was a yummy surprise. The staff was very attentive and polite. Reasonably priced. Brought a 2 year old and staff brought an extra order of rice and egg roll voluntarily, which was really appreciated. read more

I came to this place to meet some longtime friends I hadn't seen in a few years. I was in area visiting from SoCA so we chose this restaurant due to the convenient location. It's your typical Mongolian BBQ restaurant where you load your bowl with your choice of proteins, noodles, and veggies. You then place your bowl on the next counter where a cook stir frys it for you. The excitement and jubilation of seeing my friends quickly turned into an uncomfortable dining experience due to the older Asian lady working the front counter. After paying for my meal and turning away, I was scolded by her for forgetting my food bowl. She yelled "what, you don't want to eat!" In a load condescending tone. Next she hovered near our table staring at us as we ate our food uncomfortably. Needless to say I will never be back. The food was okay, however the prices are high. I'd rather take my money to a different restaurant that knows the meaning of customer service. read more
