I'm a FAN, been coming here for years. When my boyfriend took me here for this first time, I was a bit shy, but now I consider myself a pro-packer.
You can customize your own main entree and they have plenty of combos available, even an ALL YOU CAN EAT. I have yet to be disappointed when coming here to dine.
There make your own sauce chart is awesome, add as much or less spices to accommodate your taste buds.
Don't knock it, till you try it :) -

1. No rice. what the heck...

3. It isn't very inviting
4. Parking is bleh
5. The decor needs to not be from 1982
6. The staff could be more friendly -

I gave this place 2 stars for a couple of reasons.
One: The place is very old and needs some renovations
Two: You do not get to put your own meat they fill your plate up with flakes of meat so there is not enough room for the vegetables.
Three: The vegetables are cut up really small. The carrots are shaved and even the water chestnuts are cut into little pieces!!!
Fourth: You have to put your own sauces. They give you a description of how much to put of each but in all honesty they know how to do it better
Fifth: The garlic isn't even real garlic it's something you shake out of a salt shaker!!!
Overall my plate came out to be good because I got lucky in the amount of sauce I added, but my boyfriends food was not so flavorful.
I wouldn't recommend you wasting your time here when their are better places close by -

I have been coming to this Mongolian BBQ for 20 years, its the first restaurant we ate at when we moved to California. So the decor hasn't changed at all since that first meal but I know that every time I come I am guaranteed to be stuffed and satisfied with my meal. Plus I always have left overs to take home!
This isn't fine dining by any means but there is a good selection of meat and veggies and of course you decide all your seasoning and spice level. The prices are good and it is good for groups. -

Not good . . . just . . . not good.
I really, really wanted to support this place -- a plucky, long-time local small business. But the decor is just seedy. The selection is negligible; you're pretty much forced to get the stir-fry, with rice, one tiny, greasy egg roll, and one even tinier, greasy wonton. There aren't many stir fry ingredients, and they're not visually appealing at all. The guy who cooked my stir fry threw on a ton of extra oil -- there go any health benefits. The waitresses are hard-working, but not very helpful.
Great Khan's Mongolian Barbecue does exactly the same thing, only better and cheaper -

i love love love this place! my family has been coming here for soooo many years! I love the pocket bread...I always have leftovers so the price being barely like 8-10 bucks per person is worth it! although the decor may not be the most up to date, everything is clean and the food is delicious with great prices! come here super hungry and trust me u will still have leftovers! yummy might just go here tomorrow :)

We've been coming to this place for years and it just occurred to me that I've never written a review! I guess I just take this place for granted. Well, time to remedy this. This Mongolian Barbeque definitely deserves a good review!
First of all, between 12 and 4 there is a lunch menu available, and it's definitely worth it if you can make it within those hours because although it doesn't have an all-you-can-eat deal, there is plenty of food, we usually take home half and eat it a 2nd time. For about $7, you get a fried wonton, an eggroll, a bowl of rice, 2 pocket biscuits (delicious!) and a bowl of meat, for which you can choose one or more from the following: beef, chicken, turkey or pork.
(There are multiple menu combination choices to choose from... some include fried shrimp, some don't include any of the fried extras, some don't include pocket breads... I highly recommend you choose one that includes pocket breads, these are really good!)
Once you get your bowl of meat, you have to push your meat down in the middle so you can pile on veggies from the veggie bar. (If you don't, it'll pile too high and heavy items like pineapples and water chestnuts will fall off....).
Also, I recommend starting with the bigger items on the veggie buffet, like the pineapple and the water chestnuts, because they're incredibly difficult to stack on top if you wait until later to add them.
Anyway, their veggie buffet usually has everything you will need for your bowl of deliciousness: water chestnuts, pineapple, green pepper, cabbage, bean sprouts, carrots, squash, mushrooms, onions... Once you get to the end, there are instructions for which sauces you need to put on the meat/veggies, depending on if you want it spicy, medium or mild.
(Also, please note that if you see someone ahead of you with a pile of chili peppers on top of their plate and you like yours mild, MAKE SURE you ask the chefs to clean the grill before they put yours on.... otherwise you may end up with a slightly spicier dish than you intended. Part of the experience here is that other flavors from the grill cook in to your meat, however if there are spicy dishes going ahead of you, it's perfectly normal to request for them to clean the grill first... so don't be shy about asking.)
For the price, there is nothing better. And for those of you who have had the "mall mongolian bbq" experience, this one is MUCH better... (although they don't have noodles...but that's ok, there are plenty of tasty items to make up for that loss...)
I've deducted a star for a few reasons, sometimes the veggies do look like they've been sitting out for a little while, especially the water chestnuts, it's not appealing once they start having brown spots and the interior leaves a little to be desired as far as decor is concerned.
Nothing major though, it's all good, the food is good and it's definitely a place where we go at least once a month. -

I tried this place because of all the great reviews...
however...
i would NEVER eat here again
it just seemed really dirty.
the food was DISGUSTING
it had no flavor whatsoever
they serve you greasy wontons
& shrimp..you know the one that you buy at Costco
& they serve it with ketchup & mustard.
It was bad. Trust me on this one fellow yelpers. -

I have to agree with the others here, I really miss the noodles. That said, the food here is pretty good. They do need to add more non-meat choices, because I like to load up on cabbage, onions, etc. The wait staff was cheery and helpful, and you do get a lot of food, almost too much for me. Overall, probably a 2 1/2 rating. I would go back, but only if it was close by.

This place is so delicious. Outside looks a little unwelcoming, but don't let that scare you off. I love the fried wontons, baby eggrolls, and pocket biscuits. So good. I've been coming here for about 15 years and I still love it.
Pros: delicious, good price
Cons: messy meat/veggie bar -

Despite numerous ownership changes, this place consistently provides mongolian barbeque that is good.
The place is not in the appearance group. If it were, I don't think it can survive because the food is reasonably priced. The utensils are the latest in cheap flatware. Request the chopstiks. No lamb so you are on your own with beef, pork, chicken or turkey.
How can anyone rate a mongolian restaurant? You are responsible for your own vegetables and flavorings. -

Alright, so it looks like a prison. So what! IT'S A DELICIOUS PRISON!!!
It's inexpensive and tasty. They give large portions, and again...it's delicious!
This is definitely a must-eat joint, if you can get past its appearance. It's dark and rundown, but at least the lack of windows keeps the place cool, and it's clean.
For a $6 lunch you can get a fried shrimp, a wonton, rice, and a choice of meat(s) that you add your own vegetables and sauces to. The trick here is to push the meat down in the bowl before adding anything so that you can really load up and get your monies worth. I found that I had to order an additional bowl of rice because it wasn't enough for the meat, but that's a rare problem in the world (having too much meat), and one that i will never complain about. -

I really enjoy this place despite the bizarre vibe. I was a bit thrown off my first time by things such as the eyeglasses chained to the front counter to use "for your convenience"...and the trinkets, statues and toys they have displayed for sale...oh and the check holder that reads "muchas gracias".
Putting all that behind me, yes it's dark, but your eyes adjust...and the menus are slimy- but you don't really have to touch them because there's only one page. The food is really tasty, and cheap. Above all else, what keeps me coming back is the delicious sweet and sour sauce in the ketchup bottle!! Every time I attempt to try a newer, brighter, and cleaner Mongolian place...they don't have the sauce....and I miss it terribly... -

There is no reason whatsoever to eat here.
I had my heart set on mongolian grill, so I decided to brave the disgusting exterior of the restaurant. Bad decision. The choices are limited (few sauces, veggies did not look fresh, no tofu). They did not clean the grill between my bowl and the meat so I was unable to actually try the food, but my dining partner assured me that it was of poor quality and only ate one plate despite paying $13 for all you can eat. I can't imagine why anyone would eat here when there are SO much better quality food that you could get for the same (not that cheap) price in Claremont. -
Review from Gerard P.
Covina, CA

I just had lunch here. The last time I ate lunch here was in 1987 while I was a boarding student at the Webb Schools. The wrestling team had a dinner here. So you know I'm biased. Even the crappiest food cannot compete when mixed with a teaspoon of nostalgia.
Now I will try to be objective.
The place is raw. Definitely carries an inland vibe. The entrance with a single wooden door painted yellow reminds me of the dive bars I used to spy with wonder when I was a kid.
The interior is definitely a child of the early 80s before the advent of the splashed paint motif, and pastel nuance of a Nagel print. It's a place a pre-baby boomer would have eaten, and I am almost certain that their loose change can be dug from behind the vinyl cushions of the booths.
This place is based on the same style as the Ghengis Khan fast food restaurants some of you have probably seen at your local mall.
Here's the deal. The waitress seats you at a table. From the menu you order one of several different meal combinations. What differentiates them seems to be the side dishes: fried shrimp, fried wonton, rice, sesame fried pita. Then you choose your meat:
Chicken
Pork
Beef
Turkey?
Yes Virginia. There is not only a Santa Claus, but there is, as unlikely as it would seem, also turkey on the menu of a Mongolian BBQ. Far as I know, Turkeys are not indigenous to Mongolia. But I leave it to you, dear reader, to look it up on Wikipedia which by the way, though useful, is not rigorously peer-reviewed.
but I digress...
The waitress brings you a bowl full of your chosen meat. You take the wide spoon they give you and smash that son-of-a-bitch down as far as your can. You compress it until your carpal tunnel screams with painful delight.
Then you go to the veggie bar and do your best to heap as many vegetables as you can on top: sliced bell peppers, bean sprouts, carrots, shredded cucumber, mushrooms, water cress, and so forth. At the end of the bar you ladle a few shots of oil, house sauce, and spice into that leaning tower and hand it under a transparent bullet-proof lexan panel to a fellow manning what I assume to be a Mongolian stove.
This fellow takes your hard work and flips it onto a round heated surface about three feet across. From your vantage, you watch the juices sizzle and boil. If you didn't put the right amount of oil and such into the bowl, then the cook lets you know by splashing a little more.
The Mongolians are a very subtle people. Part of their charm no doubt.
After it's cooked up good and proper, the cook uses this amazing, long knife-spatula (where can I get one of those?) to scrape the contents onto a fresh plate.
All that's left is to eat it up.
I would say, for me at least, that this is the sort of place I would hit maybe once a month, or every other month. But there are a bunch of regulars there so, good for them. I give this place five stars because it's got a lot of personality. And we all know that personality goes a long way.
Enjoy. Go! -

In my mind all criticisms regarding Mongolian BBQ must be assesed in the context of its enduring and long standing presence in the community.
Having lived the majority of the first 25 years of my life in Rancho, I've seen how this greater area has changed and think its awesome that a business like Mongolian BBQ has endured and maintained quality in food (for the most part) and validity to the local patrons.
If you're not familiar with the concept, there is basically a single choice one has to stuff ones self: the namesake Mongolian BBQ. You have a choice of Beef, Pork, Chicken, Turkey, or a combination (thats right, no shrimp for you bourgeouis fa#$#@s) and a wide array of vegetable choices to stir fry with. The sauces are pretty simple, all different levels in spice of the same thing, but the curry, chili, lobster sauce, garlic, cilantro, etc. allow for a decent variation in flavor. They cook it in front of your face and you eat it, simple.
Beyond that, you get white rice (no fried options p@#!is!) an egg roll, a wonton and 2 pocket biscuits to stuff with your concoctions. You get those and THATS IT.
20 years and they haven't changed a damn thing, I LOVE MONGOLIAN BBQ!!!! They even keep the "Office" on the first booth right in front of the door, the balls on these guys!! -

I admit that I haven't been to this place in a few years, but I have to say that this is one of the best Mongolian BBQs I've ever been to (and I've been to a lot...check my profile for other Mongolian BBQ recommendations!). The Great Khan chain is horrible compared to this place.
My husband and I used to trek all the way out to Claremont from Eagle Rock (this is a big deal in evening traffic on the 210!) just to eat here. The decor is a bit campy, which makes this place even more chic. The service is GREAT, which again makes this a special place.
Oh yah, and then there's the food. I love it! The sauces are spectacular, and of course, it's all you can eat so pig-out. Do not miss this place if you're looking for a fun time, great surroundings, and good service.Listed in: Favorite Places to Eat!

This is one of my favorite places to eat. The food is amazing. There are several sides you can order with the stir fry and they are all Fantastic. The pocket bisquits are the finishing touch. If you havent tried it please check it out. The building is old but the food makes up for it. My husband and i have a personal relationship with the staff now Lol.

Everyone has their favorite, local hole-in-the-wall spots they love to frequent and this place is on the top of my list. Yes, there are no windows, the owners use the first booth as their office and it looks like nothing has changed inside since the '80's, but I say if the food is great, who cares??? I have never been here for lunch but I definitely recommend it for dinner.
For $12 you get soup, wontons, egg rolls, and rice to enjoy with your bowl...and of course the pocket biscuits. These seal the deal!! Unlike lunch, you create your own combination of meat, choosing from chicken, pork and beef and a variety of different vegetables. I have been coming here since I was a kid and can remember always trying to smash as much as possible into my bowl and then watch in fascination as my food is cooked right before my eyes with the hugest knife I had ever seen....A previous review complained that you can taste the flavor of the order cooked ahead of you but I have never had this experience. What I have noticed is some customers ask for the grill to be cleaned before their food is cooked and cooks have gladly accommodated them.
If you are looking for a casual place to have dinner and relax with some friends at a great price then this is your place. See you there!! -
Review from Sergio R.
Claremont, CA

I'm absolutely bewildered at how people enjoy this place
The meat is a sad hacked up pile of beef, chicken, pork, or lamb and the array of preparation options is absolutely dismal
I've given this place enough chances to know it's not worth ever going again. Not even if I'm treated. I wonder if people just lack Mongolian experience? But even then, what you get when your plate is done isn't even good! No noodles and the soup is horrible.
I'm well aware that you control what goes into it but it's NOT ME. No.
The service is very good and the Tsing Tao is cold, but the food is horrible
Listen, I've been to the MECCA of Mongolians. It's my first review ever. If you really want not only an incredible Mongolian experience, but an absolutely delicious dining experience - go there -
Review from Roy C.
San Francisco, CA

As one of the oldest staples of Claremont, Mongolian Barbeque has stood unchallenged for decades. All other Mongolian BBQ restaurants that have tried to compete in the area have failed miserably at the hands of this juggernaut. If you asked me 10 years ago, it would be easy to tell you exactly why. Nowadays, it seems like perhaps the pride has gone to its head, because the quality has dropped considerably in the recent years.
I've been going to this restaurant since I was a little kid and it used to be one of my favorite restaurants. I don't think they've made any aesthetic changes to it in those couple of decades -- same wall colors, decor, and feel. I went back a few days ago, however, and I could immediately tell that the quality has gone down. The meat isn't as tender as before -- you can actually taste the low quality in the meat as its much tougher and chewier than before. The vegetable selection has more or less remained the same, but they've become much more frugal in terms of bowl space. You have to be an architect or Jenga-extraordinaire in order to pile on a good amount of veggies in that dinky little bowl. I would also expect them to have gotten with the times and added noodles as a selection.
I still love the bread pockets they provide, which I think is what makes this restaurant stand out among all others. You have about a 50% chance in getting a bread pocket that you can't open up to stuff with meat, so that kind of sucks if you get stuck with that.
All in all, I still have great memories of this place and compared to most other Mongolian BBQ restaurants, it's still one of the better joints. However, since I remember it back in its golden years, I'd have to say that it definitely has lost a lot of the food quality that made it once so damn good. -
Review from Daryl I.
9/4/2006 7 Check-ins Here
Most people's perception of Mongolian Barbeque probably stem from The Great Khan chain that has infested a number of food courts in various malls here in So Cal. This place is much better than that.
For the uninitiated, here is the concept of Mongolian BBQ. You grab a bowl and go up to a buffet table that is very similar to a salad bar. You pick out the various vegetables that you wish to eat, including bean sprouts, cilantro, etc. The next station includes the meat that you'd like to include: beef, pork, etc. The next station includes the flavoring sauces, including spices that determine the spiciness of your food.
You then take your bowl to a person who will dump the contents of your bowl on a gigantic circular grill. Said person will spread the contents across the grill, and then proceed to push the items around the circumference of the grill until all of the items are cooked. He will then scoop up your ingredients and then hand them to you to eat. Repeat as necessary.
That's what I love about this place: you can get the all-you-can-eat version of the meal. It's not the fanciest of meals, and at one time, maybe the novelty of the cooking method would have seemed cool, but now, it's all about the food and how much you can jam in your pie hole. -

I love this place. I love that they give you those lovely bread pockets to fill up with your cooked meat of your choice and veggies. Then to kick it up a notch you can add that wonderful sauce that is on the table. I also like the fact they give you rice with it. They also have great appetizers.
I miss not being close to this place. -

Good food, great prices.
If you're familiar with any other Mongolian BBQ type restaurants, then you know what to expect. Grab a bowl, pile it high with meat and veggies, and hand it over to be cooked on the hot grill.
It has a somewhat limited selection of ingredients compared to some other Mongolian BBQ places, but this continues to be my favorite because everything is very good and they don't overwhelm you with choices.
This place hasn't changed in years. The menu is at least 20 years old, and the decor looks to be at least 30 years old. The prices have barely changed in the last 10 years. But if it ain't broken, why fix it?Listed in: Food near Claremont

This is a tough one for me to do. The food here is horrible. Every thing about it was just plain bad, but the owners were so nice and had so much pride in their lifes work that i feel bad for giving these nice people such a bad review. They do not deserve a 1 star (I think that businesses that go out of their way to be a-holes are the only ones who deserve that see my review for 24 hour fitness and Art Lewin Clothiers) but unfortunately their food deserved the 2 star rating.
First off, the place is messy. There is meat on the floor, peppers in the onions, mushrooms in the sauce...everything is spilling every where and no one is cleaning anything up.
Second, the stuff is old, The vegetables are wilted, the mushrooms are turning black and slimy the meats are thawing out. Even the rice smelled and felt like (texture in my mouth) like it was made a couple of days ago and was starting to go bad.
Third, they are missing stuff, Any self respecting Mongolian BBQ carries Lamb, Noodles, Baby corn, Minced Fresh Garlic and a bunch of other stuff I cant recall now, but all of which are missing from this place.
I hope they read this review, I really wish them the best they are really nice people. Clean up the place, put an emphasis on your quality and I will be more than happy to be a regular customer. -

This place is simply amazing. It is really a hidden gem of claremont. None of my friends had ever heard of the place until I started taking them there, now they all love it. If you go at lunch time, it's only like 5-6 dollars. If you go for dinner it's gonna run you about 12$ but it's also unlimited servings so either way it is worth your money. The funnest part is making the dish by cramming in as much meat and veggies as you can. You have to have a pretty decent appetite though, definitely not a light meal (at least the way I prepare it.)

I have been coming here for 33 years and the food is awesome! Yes the place is getting a little old, but it's still comfortable and clean. I guess this is how they keep their prices low. This is how it works for dinner. You enter and are greeted by the friendly staff. They seat you and hand you a menu. The main dish is the Mongolian bowl and you decide what sides you want with it. As soon as you order you go immediately to the food bar and pick your meat and as much as you want! They have beef, chicken, turkey, and pork meat. The best way to pile on the meat is to fill it up and use a napkin or the bottom of a clean bowl to stamp it down. Then put whatever kind of vegetables and sauces you want! You give your bowl to the cook who stir fries it. He hands you the bowl and you take it back to your table where the rest of the food is hot and waiting. I recommend the hot tea and the pocket biscuits. They are so delicious! The food is healthy and to die for! And if you like it spicy ask for the owners secret hot sauce. It's not on the menu or the tables.

I've been coming to here since 1995! It gets messy where guests get their bowls together, but it's worth it. The sauces can't be beat. This is not your typical mall foodcourt Mongolian BBQ. They don't have noodles, which I think is a good thing. The egg rolls and sesame pitas are homemade.
The interior needed a facelift in 1995. It's dark and kind of sticky - the tables should be replaced, etc. But the reward of flavor makes it all worth it. -

Must try! I have been going to this place since I was a kid! I love the fact that you can season your own meat/chicken to your taste. It's also pretty neat that you can watch them cook your meat.
The interior is not comparable to a 5 star restaurant, family owned whole in the wall type feel. This is a place where the food will definitely exceed the ambiance.
Service is good. Never experienced a problem as long as I have been going.
Pricing is very inexpensive, very big portions!
This is definitely a one of a kind for the IE!! -

Review from John S.
Azusa, CA

This is the first Mongolian BBQ I ever went to, and it has inspired me to seem out Mongolian BBQ wherever I have been. But it is still the best one I know. One reason is the pocket biscuits. They add so much to the flavor of the meal, but I have not found another Mongolian BBQ that serves them. There is one place in Mountain View, California, that has similar sesame biscuits, but they are too small to form a pocket. The other reason is that between the right sauce mixture and good grilling technique, their BBQ tastes the best. It had gotten a bit grubby over the years, but they have recently replaced the booth benches and cleaned up a bit. So I won't even dock points for that.
One downside is the folks who refuse to pay an extra buck for all-you-can-eat trying to pile too much food in one bowl and scattering ingredients all over the food bar. -

This place is so bomb! Ive been coming here for years. So the actual restaurant is nothing nice to look at but the food is so good. I usually get the beef bbq with pocket bread, wontons and egg roll. The egg roles and won tons taste soooo good they are addicting. The beef bbq is good as well. They bring you a bowl filled with your meat of choice and you go to the little salad bar and put what you like. This place is a must try!!
