| - At the request of my younger brother, I went in search on Yelp for the best rated Mongolian BBQ place in the GTA to bring him for his birthday dinner. Try as I might I couldn't find any place better than Genghis Khan MG, so it was settled that we would give this North York spot a whirl.
Fairly easy to find and with the clear signage, it's impossible to miss on the west side of Don Mills Road between Lawrence and Eglington. Parking was a breeze for a Monday night but I feel that on busier nights and with multiple restaurants in the complex, that parking may be an issue at times.
Walking in the place IS massive. Even thought it was a slow Monday night, I could tell that even at mass capacity this place has the room...and the food, to spare. We were seated instantly and drink orders were taken. Word to the wise, avoid cocktails or mixed drinks here. Awful. The Bloody Caesar I ordered wasn't very good and was more spice and ice then anything nice. I'd say stick to beer, water or soda pop.
Moving into the buffet portion of GHMG, I was really impressed with the organized lay out for food and the overall freshness and organization of the Mongolian BBQ area. Plenty of signage explained each step of the process from meat, to why you should add veggies, the noodle station to the sauces. This is where this place wins over my previous favourite Waterloo location, instead of trying to figure out the appropriate mix and balance of herbs, sauce and oil to make a decent dressing for your dish, they have a host of pre-made sauces which explain in detail what is in each. The flavour choices were delicious and I was content not being a chef for a night. However, this being said they still offered the DIY sauce and spice station for those more creative and less hungry.
Food was cooked quickly however I felt the grill master added a tad too much water to the ingredients while cooking everything and watered down my sauces a little. Still tasted awesome so who am I but another pig at the trough getting read to stuff his little face.
In addition to the Mongolian BBQ section the do offer a fairly robust selection of Western Chinese faves (you know like chicken balls and spare ribs and spring rolls) good for the us white folk who know no difference. To me this area was passable but a nice touch as I know not everyone is down with the Mongolian bbq options.
The icing on top of this place was the dessert selection, by the time i was due to go for a tour of the dessert tables I was feel full and kept it simple. The standouts for me were the Heavenly Hash and Cotton Candy Ice Cream flavours and the fresh fruits and marshmallows to dip in the chocolate fountain.
I'd come back and I'd recommend this to anyone who is interested in doing something a little different and a little more casual for dinner with a group of people. Total bill for 5 alcoholic beverages and 5 buffet dinners was $145 + tip. So roughly $30-35/person.
Also thanks to the staff for doing the birthday cake and complimentary picture for my brother on his birthday
