My Nee favorite Mongolian BBQ spot. I will stop here every time I can when I land in LA. It's 2 minutes from the rental car lots. Barbra is very very nice. She is the only person working and does a great job. The food is remarkable!!! She makes her own bread (Shao Bing). This is a rustic spot. Not a place for a date, but if you want incredible food and good conversation, this is the spot. Love this place!!!!! read more

I. LOVE. THIS. PLACE. Shoutsout Barbra ! I've been referring my friends often. It is definitely pricey, or at least my order was. I hate that it was empty, it gave off "weak vibes" but of course I'm here to tell you this is top tier eatery. Yes indeed. You have the ability to apply as many veggies to you plate, and it's a BIG PLATE, along with the choice of meat. It's vegan if need be or could be a great source of protein. AW AND DONT GET ME STARTED ON THE SHAO BING. As Barbra says, "the best bread in town". I'm spending bread here often read more

The most that I can say is upon entering the restaurant at first, the lady, who served as the manager/chef/waitress, was pretty busy and we waited a few minutes before she could assists us. But when she was done with what she was doing, she was extremely friendly, helpful, and informative. Once we gathered all of our meal's ingredients, we handed them to the manager/waitress/chef and she got to work on them. I was amazed that the grill on which she cooked was shaped like a turtle shell. Interesting! A little of our ingredients made alot of food to enjoy. The food was great and the lady explained that she only serve healthy ingredients. Even the drinks were natural. We had tea with cane (not white) sugar. The sweet manager/chef/waitress sat at another table and talked to us and we enjoyed both her company and the meals. read more

Open during quarantine! Got takeout from here. Such a hidden gem in the area. The quality of the meat and produce is unparalleled for the price and the service is amazing. I think its really rare to find a Mongolian grill spot that uses FRESH not frozen meat. Have been going here and will continue to come here for many years to come!!! Has maintained high quality of food and service despite business challenges. Love supporting small businesses like this one and seeing the unrelenting commitment to quality and service by ownership! Covid Note: Very safe takeout procedures, I felt very secure and management took extra precautions to make sure food and experience was hygienic and secure. read more

So hard to find true Mongolian BBQs these days. I love this one. The owner is a delight to talk to. The topping selection is a little sparse compared to most. I always ask for things I don't see. I did not see pineapple so I asked and she added it for me . The quality of the meat is good, the toasted sesame bread is superb. I just love stuffing the center of the hot breast with the food on my plate and eating it like a hot pocket. The owner is a sole proprietor, waiter and cook and I have a lot of respect for her because I am a sole proprietor in my business too. If you are a fan of Arnold Palmers hers is my favorite so far. It comes clearly separated in the glass with a giant ball of ice and I find that very pleasing. If you are near the LAX area take a detour and drop in! There is also a great place to get tortillas and tamales next door! read more

The food is amazing , cooked to order by the talented chef, who has been cooking there for 50 years! Calm and quiet small restaurant, well worth the trip for the quality of ingredients and service! Five stars! read more

Awesome food very tasty cook to perfection...I pick my veggies was very fresh. A small but nice.

Lean meats, fresh vegetables, all cooked to perfection. The best authentic Mongolian noodle dishes I've had anywhere in Southern California. Worth every penny. read more

Delicious! Everthing is fresh. The meat is not frozen. I chose lamb. Love that I'm able to add as much spices as I desire. Going back soon! read more

This was my first experience with Mongolian, I always use to see it in the food court but was never interested until today. I took a friend out for lunch parking was sufficient and free. We were greeted by an elderly woman and she was kind, patient some of the best customer service I've received. She explained it to me I choose how much noodles, what types of protein and then I get to fill up my bowl with as much veggies as I want! It was a little buffet style with everything from cabbage, carrot, onion, garlic and condiments etc, once I got everything she put it all on the grill and cooked everything like Benihana style and luckily for us one order was enough to share for two so we split it in half. She already had our table prepared with waters and she genuinely cared if we liked the food. The best part about the entire visit was she made us feel like home, it's as if we had a home cooked meal and were happy off a food high. I would love to try them again but this time double the meat and less veggies. read more

Both Yelp and the restaurant's website said it was open until 9pm on Sundays - drove over there and discovered it was closed.

Was told the food was very good, but I wouldn't know since they're always closed. They say they close at 9pm and on Sunday, but when I go there at "5pm" the doors are locked. What ashamed, won't be referring anyone there anytime soon. read more

One employee is very hospitable, cooks, serves and handles money. She has held this establishment all on her own. I highly recommend this to all that like Mongolian food read more

Loved the food and the people who work here. Wife selection of veggies. Fast food to table. Part of the community - been in operation for like 40/50 years. And very friendly staff, make you feel like family. Will be back. read more

Bring your own dishwasher and cleaning supplies, place is filthy... oh and bring your own meat since you only get 4-5 pieces of meat. You might wanna bring your own utensils including plate. And a HAZMAT outfit I won't be eating here again!! read more

Barbara is the absolute sweetest person ever. I love Mongolian BBQ, and this has definitely been the best I've had. I was a bit skeptical walking in at first because nobody was inside except Barbara, but she treated us with so much kindness and compassion. Her food is so delicious and fresh. read more

So glad I stopped here after landing at LAX and picking up the rental car. The food is delicious and fresh and the owner/chef/host is delightful. The business has been here 49 years. Keep supporting these small businesses so they can make it through Covid. read more

Went in for lunch around 12ish. Ordered regular meal with beef and pork, even the regular feels like large portion for me. It was very delicious. For spicy food lovers, the owner has this secret spicy sauce/powder that she provides upon asking. A must try!! Barbara (the owner) was friendly. Fair price. We'll definitely be back. read more

THANK GOODNESS this restaurant is open for takeout during these difficult times. The food is so fresh, flavorful, and such a good value. The portions are excellent and they don't skimp on the meat. My photo doesn't do their food justice. I'd recommend paying extra to add shrimp to their amazing fried rice! Their noodle dishes are always great, and my favorite item on the menu is the Mongo Cheesesteak. Perfection! Support this family business, they deserve it :) read more

I didn't catch her name but she's literally the sweetest lady. We had a lovely conversation the whole time she was cooking my noodles. Superb customer service. She was very informative on all the ingredients and everything was super fresh and Covid friendly. I had the noodles with beef, onions, bell pepper, garlic, jalapeños, sprouts. So delicious! So flavorful. Definitely recommend! You will be very happy you did. Support local businesses! read more

Three Flames LA - Noodles with beef - Mongolian Near Me - Los Angeles, California

We have been coming here for over a decade. YES, over a decade. My mother use to work down the street from this place, in the custom's building. I say down the street but hey, it's the area. Ha. Since she's moved on to other things, we're no longer given a reason to go here unless we're catching a flight or landing. And we look forward to it every single time. There's this old Asian woman (Barbara) who runs the joint but it isn't owned by her. There's an older Hispanic man who runs the wok/flame area and conquers it every time! The choices between vegetables and meats are good. It's fresh, nicely cut and the meats are frozen and kept organized. I'm never worried. They have shao bings that are increasing in prices but hey, I can't complain. With the plates that we always get, I'm one to have left overs and can't complain because they're delicious the next day as the first. I highly recommend this place. It's delicious and better than any other joint you'll find. Truly. They do not compare! read more

I still come here everytime I fly in and out of LAX (which is minimally once a month)! The veggies are always super fresh and the food is consistent. If I come back and it's an early morning flight, sometimes I hang out in the area so I can grab lunch from here! The addiction is real! It's definitely the best Mongolian BBQ I've ever had and the Shao Bing is sooo crispy and delicious. Barbara is still the best and provides the best conversation and service. read more

Small place in a strip mall with limited parking. So they charge extra for everything, when I left I spent almost 30 bucks on two plates. I was in complete shock on the price and when she handed me the plates they definitely were not as heavy as the places in the mall. So after driving back to work feeling robbed, I begrudgingly opened my container of food. After my first bite of the freshness and deliciousness, my frown turned upside down. Everything was really fresh and I love how they slice the meats thinly. Now the question is will I return here and pay their astronomical prices, I absolutely will. It is definitely worth it, just not that often for lunch food. read more

My boyfriend and I love Three Flames. The owner, Barbara, is the one woman chef, owner, server, hostess, busboy, etc. Due to Covid she hasn't been able to afford employees, so it's just her working there. She's incredibly hard working and kind. Prices are great considering how much fresh veggies and meat you are getting. She always measures out the meat for you so you know you're getting a good portion (3 or 6 oz). I always leave here feeling very full, but never bloated. The ingredients are super fresh and healthy. I'm also super sensitive to MSG and I've never gotten sick eating here, so pretty sure the food here is MSG-free. We drive from Santa Monica to come here. Highly recommend! read more

The portions and price were not bad at all. Definitely filling. You can pile on your veggies yourself but they do scoop your meat/tofu for you. You add your serving of sauces too but they do add more for you while cooking. It wasn't too crowded but there were people around coming in and out. Not that busy either. The only problem I had was when I ordered a box for my leftovers...the lady charged me like 2 dollars without telling me...I had to ask her why my bill was higher soo that probably wasn't the best. Still she was super nice when we first met her and super excited to give my friends their food haha read more

Yes, they are open during quarantine!!!! Take out off course. I've been coming here for years as ALWAYS the food is amazing. New change the meat is now fresh not frozen which makes it soooooo much better which I didn't think was possible. If you drive past it looks closed but they are OPEN!!!! read more

Terribly Rude Owner! Very, very rude. I was the only person in the restaurant at lunchtime, that should have clued me in. The owner was so rude as though I was taking too long to decide what I was ordering. I asked if I could have some cilantro and green onions on top and she said it would be an extra charge for that even though my veggie bowl wasn't even half full. She said she doesn't sell raw vegetables, if I want raw veggies go to a salad bar. She said if I wanted raw cilantro and green onions on top, she would refuse to serve me and give me my money back so I could go to a salad bar. Just hostile and rude for no reason! She cooked the bread only after I ordered it, so it was cooked nearly burned on the outside and raw dough on the inside. When I asked her if I could have it cooked more, she was offended and told me she knew how to cook bread, she has owned this business for 27 years. Wow! Just rude and hostile for no reason. She was the only person working in the whole restaurant, took the money, cooked the food, served the food and cleaned the tables. The vegetables looked old as though they had been there longer than one day; and they were all over the place mixed in together. I will never visit this place again because of this rude owner. She obviously doesn't need my little $21 for lunch, which, by the way seems overpriced for the offering. (one small lamb bowl and 2 breads -- no drink or appetizers) Looking at the other reviews, It seems this owner picks and chooses who she will be rude to. I can hardly believe we are describing the same person. She was so incredibly rude to me for absolutely no reason. I spoke very politely and respectfully to her the entire time. I have no idea why she was so rude and nasty to me. read more

A hidden Gem on Manchester Ave. They have been serving up Mongolian BBQ for 43 years at this site. You pick your choice of meat, step up to the line and pick your sides and they cook it on a large Wok. Your meal is your own creation, if it comes out bad, you can blame yourself, you create your own meal and they cook it. The owner is very nice and interactive. It's a small place and nothing fancy but the experience is outstanding. Worth checking out. read more

I absolutely love this place. A stop for me every time in in the Los Angeles area. Love the food.

This place is great! The base part is their Shari Bing (bread pocket). They are a bit doughy, which is great. Great sauces! Yes on the homemade wontons. You can skip the spring rolls. Definitely go with noodles instead of the rice. read more

This place is quaint. It's only the mom normally working but she is fun to talk too and the food is always fresh and good.

This place is gorgeous and welcoming. The dishes are delicious and healthy. The granny is really friendly, kind, talkative, and energetic. She runs the entire business by herself. Covid impacted her business hard, but she still loves cooking and hold the business together. I will definitely return and support the business. read more

$26 for a simple bowl? Definitely caught me off guard. Not worth it. To top it off, the lady employee was ranting about how nowadays, there are "weird" things like transgenders and entering the wrong bathrooms. To each his own, but when serving 3 paying guests, it is probably best and most professional to keep your personal opinions about transgenders to yourself. Not a pleasant environment. Better yet, just let everyone be. read more

Well, I went to try this the other day. It's a very small store, kind of dingy. Horrible customer service. Horrible selections. I didn't even want to get any of what they were offering. If I was a health inspector, I would have given this store a C-. The meats were in something similar to something 7-eleven keeps their ice creams in. The vegetable selections did not look so fresh. When we went in, we all ordered the lunch. Then they lady asked casually, you want noodles too. SNEAKY. Little did we know, they charge $1 extra for noodles. WHAT!?!? Yes, $1. Big Wok gives out noodles for free. Rice too. And those little bread things. As well as allowing you to get 2 bowls of meat and 1 veggie. Not here. You only get 1 small bowl of meat. The size of a kid's bowl. And you don't even get to fill the meat in yourself. Oh no, they have to do it for you. So, here I am with my itty bitty bowl of pork, and $1 extra for noodles, and my bowl of other stuff. They grill they grilled my food on turned out to be shaped like the tip of an arrow instead of flat. How the hell??? I was watching them cook my food and saw pieces falling out. What a waste. I get to my table and if we can have rice. The lady asks how many, and we ask, how much is rice. She said it's $1 for each bowl. Then we were like $1!?! And she gets an attitude and tells us, yes $1 we charge for everything. JEEZ. They even charge for the bread. Typical Chinese. Don't worry, I'm also half Chinese. Anyway, we only ordered 1 rice. It was enough... Since I already had my $1 noodles. I food came out okay but it was hot as hell in there. No AC either. Only a fan. I will never go back to this store again. They only got their 1 chance and that was IT! Also bother checking out their website. The link doesn't work. read more
