    Love this place. It's a very casual atmosphere. Always fresh and delicious. If you're trying to eat healthy, just leave out the noodles. We used to go to a Mongolian place in Hollywood.
    The first time we came here (30 years ago) the old guy from Hollywood was here.
    It's got different owners now, but the same yummy taste.  Kids love it too, they get build there bowls.

    How did it get 4 star ratings? Someones palette is off........The food is just mehhh. I rather eat at Genghis Khan or GEN KOREAN BBQ at the mall where it's packed with more flavored. And l would not mind paying more for it.

    The place is sooooo outdated as other yelpers described it. The bathroom: havent used it but l trust them on that one
    too. The corn soup looked faked and lacked ANY FLAVOR and was COLD- not even on a lukewarm scale. Been to places where it is served piping hot! PLASTIC Tongs are too short to use and falls into the meat trays after u use them--just a million health hazards l can think of already. Meat looks low grade hence the price you pay for.

    Typical old school Asian place : just here to get your money. For $2--Refills are only available 4x on drinks and tea . The tea was just flavorless. It tasted like a used teabag that's been served before me....JUST.NO.TASTE.

    Service was good but l won't be back.

    We've been going to different mongolian bbq place and this place so far has the great flavor and fresh and ingredients. The owner, cook and staff were very friendly, service is great. Love the crispy wonton and bread they serve when they seat you.

    Again wanted to try some different and we found this little diamond in West Covina. This location was on yelp so we decided to give it a shot.

    This location is located in West Covina on grand by the 10 freeway by the Denny's only its kinda hard to locate. In a strip mall behind a Denny's is the restaurant. Only 2 handicap parking stalls. A rating on the door looks current. The Owner at the door was very nice and friendly and had us pick any booth. Only a hand full of guests were there today.

    Booths,tables and floors were clean. They had room for about 80 estimate. Looks like we beat the lunch crowd so they were out of chicken and low on lamb and beef but they filled the trays up right away. The cook is very fast and the food is very hot. A number of different sauces and everything was really tasty.

    Price is reasonable.

    It's a different kind of place then what I'm used to but over all it was a good meal and I would recommend this restaurant.

    This place is awesome!!! The food is so good here and the service is awesome too. It is very outdated, but the food is worth it. The employees are very nice and hospitable.
    This place is a hidden little gem unlimited food and bread?? You can't ask for more.
