meant to rate this place with a 4.5 but i just rounded up!
MY GOODNESS. who can pass up an AYCE that's only $5.95?!
For my dish(es) i had beef, chicken, bean sprouts, carrots, broccoli, onions, noodles, soysauce, ginger, garlic, and "spicy sauce"... came out good both times! the restaurant was clean, the people behind the counter were very nice, and i didn't get sick afterwards! totally winning in my book! Most Asian restaurants in Azusa are pretty mediocre or gross but I really liked this place... i'd come again (: -

Summary:
- Super CHEAP All-You-Can-Eat (AYCE) and Ala Cartes
- Fast and friendly service
- Versatile combination of dishes
- Has the standard selections for Mongolian bbq
*******
Seriously...$5.95 [+ tax] for a Mongolian-style *buffet* where I don't get stomach issues [despite having a very sensitive stomach] after consuming 2 to 3 plates is an absolute *WIN*.
Anyone complaining about *quality* when paying only $6 reminds me of those tards shopping at Ross demanding Nordstrom service. It just doesn't happen. What do you expect? Kobe beef?
Anyways, for more on why I like this place, read my previous review.1 Previous Review: Show all »

ALL YOU CAN EAT and it's a pretty good deal!
GOOD: Service is pretty friendly, and just like in many Mongolian bbq places, pile on the stuff! And it's AYCE for about $6-8ish a person. They even have little snacks for free and some for cheap! Everything was delicious (as long as YOU can mix sauces well, if not, ASK!).
BAD: Ummm...none that I can think of except it's across the street from In and Out, so it's a tough decision between the two :[
Overall tasty, cheap, and all you can eat! What more can you want? They also do a good job cooking it behind the wall xD Worth a try if you're craving some Mongolian BBQ and the mall is closed or you don't have one! You can also get steam rice instead of noodles :] -

Finally got a chance to try this place the other day. I didn't want to stay there so I got an order to go which was the chicken and garlic sauce. They told me that the Buffet BBQ was Mongolian but their kitchen made stuff was Chinese. Oh really? It was all the same to me. I got chicken with garlic sauce and hot and sour soup. It took about 10 minutes for them to Wok the chicken dish while the hot and sour soup came from the buffet.
Well Ive eaten Chinese dishes from many a place and I wasn't really that impressed with their chicken with garlic sauce. The hot and sour soup was alright but of course you'd rather have it made fresh which some buffet table places do.
I would guess that for an all you can eat place for 6 bucks that a lot of people would be impressed with the Mongolian buffet. It really didn't look that impressive for me and I've seen way better selections at many other places.
It was decent, but not great for the 'fresh made' dish I got from the kitchen and the soup which who knows was how old. The other people I saw eating there while I was there looked like they were there for the low prices and didn't really care about quality. -

Pretty neat little hole in the wall off the 210.
I was craving Asian food (not just Mongolian in particular) and found this after yelping around my area.
I saw the AYCE deal, but decided to pass up on it for now as I needed to get some work done at home and couldn't spend 2 hours (of course I could eat that much/long!) in the restaurant while foregoing work.
For some reason or another, the Black Pepper Chicken just looked really good, so I went with that instead of getting a plate of Mongolian BBQ to go. Luckily I made that choice. For those wondering, this was $4.95 (a steal for their portions). I placed my to-go order and sat down--but NOT before the cashier (perhaps he's also the owner?) said to have a bowl of soup (FREE?!?!? SINCE WHEN DO ASIANS DO THIS?) while I waited. I played with my phone while sampling both their Hot and Sour and Egg Drop soups; they weren't the best I had, but they were still pretty tasty!
There's a joke about Chinese food that the further west you go, the shinier (read: greasier) the food becomes--this is no exception, but I'm not complaining! The glossy goodness was devoured up alongside the helping of lo mein noodles and fried rice.
This place does semi-fast Chinese/HK food pretty well. I can't wait to come back to try their Mongolian (AYCE?) BBQ! -

Great Great place. It's all you can eat Mongolian BBQ for $5.99
They make it on the spot for you, all you gotta do is pile on what you want on your plate (meat, veggies, noodles, sauce, etc), then they cook it for you, and finally serve it to you. And then you can keep getting as many plates as you want.
And while you're waiting, you could get some of their unlimited delicious soups that come free with buying all you can eat.
There's also some side snacks you could buy, such as eggrolls and such, and they're pretty cheap. Also, to point out, you have to buy drinks separately but refills are absolutely free!
And once you're bloated from eating as much as you can for your buck, there is a nearby park down the street you could go to so you could digest.
Love this place -

Good food and very good service. The staff was very friendly and tentative, i can't believe i haven't been here before. And for $5.95 for (AYCE) you can stuff your face till your hearts content. Will come back for sure, since i only live down the street :)

$6 for all you can eat including noodles, beef and pork. Worth it!! The place is kind of small but people are nice. Been there twice and I liked it. I would recommend avoiding lunch and dinner hours. Great place to go if you haven't had anything all day.
There are two different soups. Hot and Sour Soup and the other one is....i don't know haha
Definitely not a fine dine-in place. Unless you're date like all-you-can-eat. -

-1 Star for the lack of selections.
This place is just south of 210 freeway on Azusa Ave, across from In-n-out burger. One of many places I got to explore since last Thursday. I was actually across the street munching down on 4x4 with animal style fries when I noticed $5.95 AYCE (ALL YOU CAN EAT) MONGOLIAN BBQ! As being an Elite member, I had to get on yelp to see what kind of reviews people wrote about this place. 10 Reviews and all 5 stars? Hmmmm..... getting little skeptical here. But as we all know, you can never go wrong with AYCE bbq for $5.95.
Their selections are minimal in my opinion (can't complain since it's only $5.95) They got beef, chicken ,pork and imitation crab meat for the meat selection and cabbage, bell peppers, bean sprouts, onions, jalapenos, broccoli for vegetable options, and kung pao sauce, soy sauce, chile pepper paste, bbq sauce and garlic and ginger for seasoning. And they had egg drop soup and sweet and sour soup also. Like I stated earlier, choices are minimal but you can't expect much from $5.95 AYCE joints.
My personal opinion about Mongolian BBQ is that if it taste like S%&T, you can't blame the chefs, all they do is throw all the stuff in the griddle, and cook it. So if tastes like crap, you probably need to take some lessons on "HOW TO SEASON YOUR FOOD"
My first dish - Pork with broccoli, onions, bean sprouts, bell peppers, kung pao sauce, ginger and garlic. Not bad. Not bad at all!
My second dish - Beef and imitation crab meat with bell peppers, onions, sprouts, jalapenos, ginger, garlic, bbq sauce, and chili paste. Beef was good but the imitation crab meat was mushy and tasteless. BLEH!
Overall experience was pretty good, food got ready really quick, free refills, clean environment, and lastly IT'S ONLY FREAKING $5.95! I would definitely hit this place up onf more time before I get back to the city of Hot dogs, italian beef, and deep dish pizza. If you are in the area, you should definitely try it out. If not, you should come here anyways, because economy is bad and this won't hurt your wallet, and you will leave this place fat and happy. They do have few Chinese dishes you can order but Why try them when you have endless beef, pork and chicken for the same price?! -

Mongolian bbq is a great way to stick to my (mostly) Paleo diet and this place is excellent to boot. Standard chicken, beef and pork choices with imitation crab meat also. A good choice of veggies and sauces round out the selection. Give your plate to the nice lady and they cook it and bring it out to your table. Very classy.
Extremely nice staff, very basic but clean establishment.
I'll be eating here every meal possible for my one weekend a month! -

I was excited when this place opened as there's only 1 Mongolian place in the nearby area and I like to have options. Since I tried it the first time I have not got back to the other place.
This place is small but great! The service is excellent and you know they want you to come back. Plus the prices are veryyyy reasonable. While they serve Chinese food too, which I think is a huge plus, I haven't tried it yet as I always love the Mongolian bbq. I could eat here every week and never get bored. -

pot sticker is not so good but ok.

For $5.95, it was pretty good. Let alone being all you can eat, the service was awesome!!!! The sauce was a little bit on the sweeter side for my taste but I really can't complain for the price! Definitely check this place out if you are near by. It is totally worth it for $5.95!

Alright I would say the the Mongolian side of the food is good for the price. The good surprise was the Chinese food to go $ 11.00 for 2 combos to go. The staff is friendly and the service is good I plan to go back.

Living in Azusa, and being Asian it's hard to find a good decent Asian place to eat at (unless you're near APU where there's more variety of places to choose to eat at). Otherwise we go down to Arcadia/San Gabriel/Alhambra area to eat good Chinese food. We've gone here 2 x so far, and it's pretty good. It's located in a small plaza, it's cheap at $5.95 all you can eat is a great deal! It's like going to eat at Genghis Khan at the mall food court. You pick your frozen meat, veggies, sauces, garlic, and top it off with yummy lo mein noodles, then the guy in the kitchen cooks it up for ya. This place offers other dishes, as a special order such as orange chicken. The man who works the register is a nice friendly guy, who always has a smile on his face. So if you are looking for a cheap good Mongolian BBQ place in Azusa, this place is worth to check out.

As good as it gets for 5.99 all you can eat. Other Mongolian Bbqs I go to are like 13 bucks, and it's "per plate." This is made fresh and the lady in the front serves it to you.

This place is so amazing I am tempted to do a follow up review right afgter this one, so it can be a total of 10 stars. First of all this particular location has changed 3 times within the last year and a half, and when it became a Mongolian BBQ joint I knew they had struck gold. The service is unbelievable, and they really cater to your every need in a very timely manner. The prices are unbeatable by any other Mongolian place I have been to, orginially $4.95 all you can eat, now its $5.95 which is well deserved. This place you have to walk into knowing your ready for a food comatose, and that they will have the paramedics on stand by. Seriously, after the second place I almost need to be wheelchaired to my car. I plan on coming here as many times as I can, and with the amazing prices, amazing, service, and amazing food...you should to

I love Mongolian food and it's awesome to see a restaurant other than mexican in azusa because that's all there is!!! they are a little slow on business because people don't know they are there. Food is cheaper than most mongolian places so let's keep this place open cuz azusa needs more food other than mexican!! and the girl is super sweet there. it's across from in n out

I just happen to see this place on my way back to work one day, so I stopped in. To my surprise it was a build your own place, you put on the plate what you want only and they cook it for you. The woman behind the counter was so sweet and friendly. I have gone back now a few times since I first went a month ago, and I just love there Mongolian BBQ plate. And to be honest with you, the service is what keeps me going back, they are very friendly and that will always keep anyone going back and the prices are very good too....

Saw this place while i was eating at In n Out since its right across the street. We went in and well the place is actually VERY small for a mongolian bbq place so it made me a little apprehensive and it was empty. So i used their coupon which was 4.95 all you can eat which is an unheard of deal, so i just had to do it. The front lady was nice, and it had a nice selection just like any other mongolian place. So here is what seperates them from others... their MEAT and their SAUCES. Oh man this place uses huge chunks of meat and it is tender. Not only that but ive had bad experiences where places didnt have much flavor in their sauces. This place by far has had the best food ive had at any mongolian place and i hope this review helps to keep them there. I will eat here many times!
