Very unique, but honestly depends on how impatient you are. It's Chinese food and magnolian bbq, it kind of has a buffet vibe. Get precooked food and check out ASAP or get the frozen and watch them cook it. The food is separated by two aisle, one cooked and one frozen. The price is charged by the weight like you are at a deli buying meat. There is seating in the back and they also provide catering. I highly suggest going when it's busy because the food kinda sits on the slow days ( which is the day I went, not as good) read more

Stopped in to give this place another visit. Loved the food the first time so thought I would stop in again. I want a Chinese but just a small amount and this place is perfect for that. I love their Chinese options as well as their fresh items that you can put together in a bowl and have cooked on the round top, Mongolian barbecue style. Service is always good. Help yourself bars are always well stocked, and they are constantly freshening them up. In the way of ambience, there's not much. It is very clean. They have restrooms inside and lots of seating. Very delicious options, something for everyone! read more

We come here at least three times a month, so that alone should say something. What keeps us coming back is the variety. They offer both a traditional Chinese food section and a Mongolian grill station, which gives you options depending on what you're craving. The Mongolian side is definitely the highlight for me -- you build your own bowl, choose from a wide selection of fresh veggies, meats, noodles, and sauces, and they cook everything right in front of you. There's no shortage of toppings, which I appreciate. The cashier is always friendly and efficient. The cooks tend to stay focused and aren't overly interactive, but they keep the line moving and the food consistent, which honestly matters more to me. The Chinese food section isn't my personal favorite (I can be a little picky), but the Mongolian grill alone keeps us coming back. If you're looking for variety and a customizable, freshly cooked meal, this spot is worth checking out. read more

When life gets you down you can always count on your comfort foods to get you through it. For me Mongolian BBQ has always been one of those comfort foods. There's something about the mix of meats, veggies, sauces, and spices that gives me that sense of control when the world outside seems beyond my control. And Sun's has a good selection of what I'm looking for in my entrees when I gather my ingredients together. They may not have lamb like New China, but they do have crab sticks in addition to the usual shrimp, beef, pork, and chicken. And the veggie selection was quite robust with both jalapeño and green peppers, as well as cilantro. My plate turned out amazing. The service was definitely more friendly compared to New China, where normally I go. The counter person and grill jockey just seemed friendly and helpful when I interacted with them, including letting me know about the one refill policy upfront when they could've charged me more if I had gotten a second one due to not asking. The space was okay. It was laid out a little weird for me with the bbq space and the Chinese food space bisecting the dining room almost in half. But it was alright. They had tables aplenty and the tables and general look of the restaurant were very clean and inviting. I think I may have found a new regular spot for my Mongolian BBQ needs. read more

The food is always good. I can have it for lunch and dinner the next day just the only thing is I really don't like the paper packaging. It soaks all the juice. It falls apart by the time I get home and I have to put it in bowls so that I can eat properly. read more

We lost of our fav Mongolian BBQ years ago [it was in Duarte] but this place is pretty damn close. You pay by the pound and my wife's plate was about 1.1/2 pounds. We shared that and some Chinese food I got just to try [under a pound] and we took some of her BBQ home. Place has a lot of options. Is very clean and we definitely plan to come back. The owner/manager was very friendly and the service was great. read more

Used to love this place and have been coming here for years, but lately it feels like you have to fight just to get a decent amount of meat at a Mongolian BBQ spot. I'm not asking for extra or trying to cheat the system -- just a normal bowl like before. Feels like they push mostly noodles now and barely want to serve the barbecue part of Mongolian barbecue. Really disappointing after being a loyal customer for so long. Honestly walked away frustrated. read more

Hidden little gem! This place was exactly what I was expecting but better! I chose to go with the Mongolian style version I was able to choose what ever ingredients I wanted , best of all it's sold by weight. So if you're hungry...load up! My meal was 19$ and some change with a drink. Will definitely be returning! read more

This was my first time being here and I love and appreciate the self serve Chinese food area where they also charge your plate based on the weight of your food! I love that there's another section just for your Mongolian food as well. This is a great spot for family. & friends to chat, reset, and grub on tasty comfort food! read more

This place is amazing! They have both Mongolian barbecue and a hot buffet. The food is always fresh and delicious and here is the catch. It is sold by the pound. I think it is only $7.50 per pound! I wanted a small meal but didn't want to go the fast food route so I stopped in here. I got a little of all of my favorites: honey shrimp, pepper chicken, kung Pao chicken, poached fish, green beans, spare ribs and their delicious sesame ball. ALL OF THIS cost $6.82!!!! I took a picture. Now, obviously if you pile a lot of food on the plate it will cost more. My husband and I have been here several times. Don't expect ambiance. The containers are styrofoam and the decor is austere at best. Today it was just what I needed at an amazing price! read more

What a gem! I've been here a couple times and the food has always been fresh with refills constantly coming out! There's a section of pre-made Chinese food and a section of Mongolian ingredients that they will cook for you. Since the Chinese food looked so good I just got that. Pricing is quite affordable considering prices these days. Very happy and will definitely come back! Showed my family and my friends. Clean environment and owners are pleasant. read more

I ordered a 1 meat combo through door dash with orange chicken, chow mein, and fried rice. The food wasn't as warm as it would've been if I ate in restaurant.

Here comes the sun, doo-doo-doo-doo Here comes the sun, and I say It's alright Very tasty food! My wife and kids love the noodles and the veggies. The meat was nice and tender my daughter put almost all of it on her plate. My son was all about the little corns. We weren't sure what to do when we walked in and a gentleman came behind the counter to guide us. You can build your own bowl and take it to the counter to get cooked in front of you. Or you can also choose from cooked ready to eat buffet style. There is a lot of tables to sit and enjoy. Although we took our food to go after an evening at the park. I asked for some hot sauce to go on the side because my kids aren't ready for the amount I put on top. One bowl is good to share, unless you are really hungry. Plenty of parking available. This spot is sure to add a little sun to your day. read more

It's nothing special they charge by the weight of the bowel not had tasting but I won't go back

I found myself in West Covina for work and, feeling the hunger pangs, I turned to Yelp and noticed that Sun's Mongolian had recently opened. I've been craving some quality Mongolian BBQ but usually steer clear of the mall spots, so this seemed like the perfect alternative. Sun's has a unique setup with two buffet aisles--one offering Chinese fast food and the other stocked with raw ingredients for the Mongolian BBQ. I opted for the BBQ, assembling a bowl with noodles and a mix of veggies and meats. What's interesting is that they handle the saucing as they cook your food, so you don't have to worry about doing it yourself. Once cooked, you bring your plate to the cashier, and it's weighed at $7.39 per pound. Not a bad deal to be honest. The Mongolian BBQ really hit the spot, especially after tossing in some pineapple. If you're in the area and in the mood for something quick and inexpensive Sun's is definitely worth a visit. read more

Sun's Mongolian BBQ - My plate of Mongolian bbq - Chinese Near Me - Covina, California

Not your ordinary Mongolian BBQ! This place offers everything by the pound, like a buffet style. They have Chinese style food on one side and the Mongolian bbq on the other side. First grab a take out box and put as much food as you would like and they will weight it at the cashier. For the Mongolian side, same concept but you put as much as you like in the bowl they provide (feel free to use more than one) and take it to the chef to cook and put it in the box for you. The place is roomy, mainly self serve and pay before you eat. They have a few tables for dine in as well. Love this concept and you get so much food for the price! read more

They now have soup! Both egg drop and hot and sour. It's $3.99 for a decent serving, which you do serve yourself. Was the one this missing for me here and they have it now. Steam table items were better also, but I suspect it was the timing of our visit. Will be here more now that I can get my soup on with my Mongolian!!! read more

Finally! Mongolian BBQ in the Covina area. It's self serve and you pay by the pound (min 1 lb). All the classic ingredients are there like at Gengis Khan at the West Covina Mall. They also have a ready-food section that's all pay by the pound. Orange chicken, BBQ pork, teriyaki chicken, etc. There is seating as well so you can eat right away. At 7.39 per pound for both the Mongolian BBQ and the ready-food, it's pretty affordable. The staff were friendly and the chefs had smiles on the entire time. Great place for lunch or dinner. Clean area as well. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! PS: Try the mango smoothie! It was surprisingly tasty and refreshing. read more

TL:DR Service was great, the food was even better. Me and my girlfriend came here looking for a new Mongolian spot because our old one went out of business. (Rip Puente Hills Mall Mongolian BBQ) When we came to the place, we were the first customers. We were greeted by staff and we were first confused because we didn't know it was self serve. And the staff who helped out us gave us the basic run down of what to do and the prices. Which is 7.99$ per pound on either Mongolian or Chinese food. When we went ahead and got a bowl and started adding our portions, we were amazed at the selection they had. After finally getting all our meat and veggies, we dropped it off at the counter near the stove top and they cooked it for us within 2-4 minutes. When it was done we took it to the register counter to pay and only paid 13.16 for 1.68 pounds. After that we sat down and from the first smell we got from the food we knew.. it was going to be great. It tasted so amazing and was a 10/10 experience. This is definitely our new spot for Mongolian BBQ. read more

Excellent food and I love the available options ! My husband is vegetarian but I'm not and it's a great compromise to come here.

Great food confusing hours they need to update the hours on google multiple times have gone when not open

I'm sad to say they are having some issues at this location. On my last several visits, I've requested the cook on the Mongolian grill to not use any extra sauce on my plate, but continues to use an obscene amount despite my requests. Unfortunately, after the 3rd failed attempt to get what I've requested, I'm going to have to cross this place off our lists of places to eat. Also, the cooling in this place is non-existent. I was sweating indoors while preparing my plate. Some air conditioning would go a long way here. This place had so much potential, but it would appear their expansion within the neighboring cities has caused quality control issues at this location. read more

Hi we went to your establishment and we ate the Mongolian beef we paid with $100 bill that we had and you gave us chain right from your store we went to go buy something and it turned out that one of the 20s that you gave us was fake I couldn't get it back from the store to take it back to you but please make sure you watch your money and check it because not only spending $50 in your location 20 that it was fake cost me $70 just to have Mongolian beef so customers if you go here please check your money when they give you your change because they're not checking their money when they receive it or they did they just gave it out so they wouldn't lose their money which is not ok read more

At $5.91 per pound this place is a steal......I know they'll bring it up to $7.39 per pound once the soft opening is over, but I'd still come back at that price. Negatives: Ambiance - the area is pretty simple, but that's okay. It's probably better to togo your food, but eating it fresh is definitely better. Positives: Price - it's a great deal, I'll definitely be back for cheap eats. Taste - the food tastes decent for what you're getting Overall 5/5 read more

So I was out in West Covina area today and decided to check out this spot for some Mongolian BBQ! They had a special for their soft opening and the place was pretty busy when I arrived. I decided to get the mongolian bbq and chose my own toppings and they cooked for me right away. The special made the dish come out to $10 which isn't bad and I got a pretty good portion size of Mongolian BBQ. Overall, a solid dining experience! read more

Heard about several new restaurant locations opening up in the Covina area. Today we wanted to try Sun's. This is like almost all Mongolian BBQ's, same concept one round flat grill and the cook takes your meal and cooks it up nice and hot. This location is in another strip mall with a few major eating locations in the same mall. Parking can get congested at times (Saturdays and Sundays because of Chunky Cheese in the area) Handicapped parking stalls are two maybe three. They share parking with other businesses. Not yet rated so no letter grade in the window at the time we were there. Walking in seen a few people making and having food. Several tables and chairs enough for approximately 25-30 and seemed clean. We were greeted by a worker behind the counter and he was very nice and we asked how this all works. Yes they weight your food which isn't that expensive. A lot of options to choose from the hot grill or take out. We made our way to a self serve take out and proceeded to make our choices. Everything looked clean and food seemed fresh. Three plates to go and it was way under $35.00 !!! Hard to get this much food for a family of three for under $35.00. They also have catering available at very affordable prices. A few things I hope they take care of. HOT !!! The temperature inside the restaurant was very HOT. This is obvious because of the open flat top grill they cook some meals on. I had BBQ Pork, Orange Chicken and noodles. The BBQ Pork had some good taste to them but over salted for my taste. Noodles just didn't taste right, very dry. I'm sure some people like salt on their food and that's fine but I don't use salt at all on my food. I would say check this place out, it might be your new location for Mongolia BBQ !!!!! So here's how Sun's Mongolia BBQ in Covina, in my opinion, stacks up. Appearance: 6 of 10 (Hot inside) Food: 8 of 10 Staff: 10 of 10 Returning: 8 of 10 Until next time, Stanley.. read more
