| - Having lived in Dallas for some time and being a frequent diner at the Genghis Grill, I was tickled to hear that a Mongolian grill was FINALLY coming to Pittsburgh. My PIC (Partner In Cuisine) and I rushed down there the first week they were opened and we were not disappointed. They have a great variety of meats, veggies, carbohydrates (pasta, rice, tortillas), and spices that you can put together in any combination and then have the guys at the stir fry cook it up for you eating pleasure.
Since my PIC and I obviously spend a lot of time together and dine out VERY frequently, it never occurred to me that there is one huge problem with the place. If you're looking for a place to have a nice, chill dinner to catch up with a few friends or are going out with a larger group, this is NOT the place to go. If it's busy, there is a good chance you will find yourself waiting in line for your food to be cooked for upwards of 10 minutes so if you don't time getting your food just right, you might find yourself with your food being half eaten while your companions are still waiting for theirs to be cooked. If you go for your second bowl, you could seriously turn what might have been a 45 minute meal into an hour and a half if you and your companions don't coordinate accordingly. The motif of the restaurant does not really work logistically .
All of that said, if you're looking for a decent meal with nothing deep fried with someone you can coordinate your food selections / cooking, it's an awesome place.
P.S.
Wander around the South Side Works and you're likely to find one of the employees handing out $2 off coupons that you can use for each person in your party!
