| - We just ate there today at about 5pm, and it wasn't extraordinarily busy. It was my second time there; my wife's first. I'm a Mongolian fan; I've eaten at probably 20 different Mongolian places around the country. The food was OK. Not bad, not great. The biggest miss to me was not having any shrimp available at all. The other thing that I didn't like was that all the meat was frozen. This is a nice trick to save money - if the meats are all frozen, you can't put as much into your bowl, so they save money. As a result, I left still hungry. And, compared to other Mongolian places I've eaten at, this isn't cheap. I think it was $13 each just for the food. We spent $41 for two people, including the tip, and just drank Coke. The atmosphere was OK; it's a nice place, but my wife like's Flat Top's atmosphere better. (We've eaten there too, and the thing that I don't like about THAT place is that you don't make your own bowl [so you don't get much meat] - which is why I like Mongolian in the first place). The service at HuHot was fine, the food was cooked well. We'll probably go back some day, but it's not at the top of my list. Unfortunately, neither of Madison's two Mongolian places are even in the top half of my Mongolian restaurant experiences.
