| - I went to Genghis Grill twice within the first 2 weeks of its grand opening. It is a Mongolian BBQ restaurant with an unusually large number of meats, vegetables, rice, noodles, and sauces to choose from. If it's your first time, your server will show you through the buffet. You fill up a bowl with meats and vegetables, and a small cup with your sauces (which you can sample in the line), and hand it over to a grill cook for preparation. Choose your starch - rice, noodles, etc. - and you can watch it being grilled and pick it up, or have your server bring it to you.
Pros: delicious IF you get the right flavor combination, and some of the best customer service I've had in a Las Vegas restaurant.
Cons: pricey! The bowl for your selections is very small. You will need some architectural skills to build up your bowl very high. The problem is that the vegetables cook down, so your prepared BBQ winds up quite small, and it's even served in a special bowl to make it look like more food than it really is. They are also stingy with starches. On my most recent visit, I overdid the sauce - not their fault - but the result was so strong that it needed rice to mellow it out. The stingy 1/2 cup serving isn't enough anyway. I wound up taking it home and make a pot of rice, and enjoyed leftoovers.
Tip: I recommend going at lunchtime for the unlimited bowl option and just make small bowls until you figure out what flavor combination you like. Lunch is much cheaper than dinner.
Another tip: sign up for their Khan Club. It's free and you get good deals through email.
