I really didn't think this place was as bad as the reviewers have made it out to be. That said, I've never been to the YC's that's been mentioned, maybe I'd change my tune if I had.
I've been to lots of Mongolian grills and this seemed right in line with the rest. I did find it a little strange to have a server, especially since we were about 10 feet from the grill, but it's not a major complaint. He kept our drinks filled and grabbed some chopsticks for our 4 year old when he overheard that he wanted some.
The food was tasty and seemed fresh. I happened to like that the sauces were pre-mixed, it took some guesswork out of it. A lot of places have "recipes" on the wall so you can make certain types of sauces, but if you don't get it right it can ruin the entire bowl. I liked knowing what I was going to get.
FYI - you choose your carbs (rice, noodles, etc) at the grill instead of in the buffet line. I was a bit confused when they didn't have any to add to my bowl. I found this nice as well because I didn't have to pile my bowl as high.
