Meng Gao Yang BBQ

I first heard about this restaurant as a suggestion when discussing what to eat. We went as neither of us ever tried Mongolian BBQ before so the attention was grabbed by that.

The food was just okay. None of it was bad, but not much has me mouth watering for more. We got a mix of beef, lamb, and chicken skewers. My favorite was definitely the beef as it was well seasoned and cooked well on the rolling conveyor belt they had set up. I might just not be a BBQ fan as I just got tired of eating the meats. You should also order rice or some other entree to eat with your skewered meat.

I would say the service was very comforting. I went on a not so busy day, where no one else was in the restaurant. It was just the cook who I didn't see and the old lady waiting on the tables. Very kind and not invasive with asking if you need anything.

It's hard to rate a restaurant like this because I wasn't crazy about eating here but also the people running it are good people. I say consider it, maybe you'll like it more than I did. If I was to describe this to anyone, the word pleasant comes to mind.

Was seated right away. Ordered some skewers, to me everything was spicy except for the vegetable dish we ordered which was the best tasting in my opinion, Lol. The meat they give you on the skewers is so tiny and i think there prices also went up. If you never had Mongolian bbq, you can try it out. Don't think I'll be back. The cool thing is you do not need to turn the meat once it's on the grill, it turns itself which is pretty cool. They use coal not gas. Also it's BYOB, parking lot is shared with another business.

Definitely the best skewer place you'll find around central Jersey! Unexpectedly, the sweet and sour pork is definitely the star dish in the restaurant, especially if you are a fan of crispy batter and just the right bite of pork~ It's a very clean set up in the restaurant and the skewers are definitely well seasoned. I don't always get the lamb in case the meat is gamey, but these lamb skewers were delicious.

The outside of the restaurant wasn't the best, but we were pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food. We got the the lamb and beef enoki skewers and they were both delicious, especially when dipped in the spicy powder mix. We also ordered a bowl of cold noodles that also hit the spot and went well with the fattier meats. Overall, great experience and would come again!

Located next door to a tire shop, Meng Gao Yang is definitely an "if you know, you know type of place" It's a no frills place where the food is really reasonable for the price and absolutely delicious.

I love Chinese skewers, but never had them where I bbq'd it myself. Order whatever you like and they'll come up and fill the rectangular hole with some water. Next, wait for them to bring a box of charcoal that they'll put over the water. Put your skewers on and voila, you should have tasty meat in minutes.

I loved the lamb skewers the most and topped with the spicy dry rub, it is the most heavenly taste ever. I'm drooling just thinking about it lol.

We also ordered the lamb and fish tofu skewers. I would pass on the fish tofu since it's not super flavorful. I highly recommend focusing on the skewers for a great experience.

Would definitely come back here again!

My friends and I decided to scour Edison's asian restaurants everytime we have a catch up session. We are happy to have found this little gem! Meng Gao Yang is a small restaurant in Edison and the ambiance feels very homey instead of commercial. I think it's because it's easy to tell it is being managed by a small family.

But let's talk about the food because we were blown away by the options in the menu. We decided to order different meat skewers to bbq and a few appetizers. We tried the pork intestines, gizzards, pork skewers, beef skewers and they were all so good.

My favorite was the Spicy fried rice cake. The flavor has the perfect balance of sweetness and spice! I can't wait to go back just for this alone!

I highly recommend this place!

Definitely not much to the ambience and a bit hidden behind a car shop but if you're craving good Mongolian BBQ check this place out! All the dishes we had were excellent and it's BYOB. I love that they have a vent right above the grill so you don't smell like BBQ when you leave!

Downside is it was pretty cold and wasn't the nicest inside. Also the service is not the friendliest but the food makes this place worth it for me.

My family and I have been here so many times, and we've loved every meal. It's always so much fun watching the meat rotate as the drippings hit the coals! The restaurant is very clean, and the server is also very kind. She was very knowledgeable about all the skewers and helped us choose an appropriate amount. She also refilled our spice mix regularly, which is one of my favorite parts about eating here. My only complaint is that the tea canisters get REALLY hot.

We started with a glass noodle salad, which is served cold and vinegary. We always order the signature lamb skewers and the xinjiang lamb skewers, but we can never agree on which one we like more! The signature skewers are a little spicier, and we love how the freshness of the lamb comes through in the xinjiang skewers. We also usually get the pork intestine skewers (these are super fatty and delicious!).

This is one of our favorite restaurants to eat at since everything is delicious and it's very interactive!

Really good skewers. Very tasty and the service was quick. Would highly recommend . No frills joint. BBQ Skewers

Need to update my rating to 3 stars.

The skewers are actually a bit worse than before. Still fairly tiny and meat quality mediocre. Minimal flavor. It's just not worth the current prices.

Dry pot was extremely salty. I had to eat it with rice (which I usually avoid) just to offset the salt. The sauce had a semi weird flavor too. It seemed to have a lot more veggies than protein.

Service is still just as slow if not slower than before.
