| - This place has a format I've never seen in the many Mongolian places I've eaten. Usually you get one decent sized bowl and fill it up with whatever you want - meat, veggies, noodles, sauces, etc. then you get rice and soup on the side. Here you have to pick a bowl size, preselect your "starches" - rice OR noodles. For lunch, the SMALL bowl was $9.99. I asked if I could have rice on the side and the server said it would be an additional $2.
She asked if it was my first time there. Then she explained how to fill out the card with my name, my bowl size, my "starches", then go through the line, pick my meat, veggies, sauces and give it to the stirfry guy. By the time she got done with explaining, she could have filled it out the card for me.
The small bowl is barely a cup and it was over the top way too fast. The stir fry guy puts in a standard amount of noodles, which wasn't that much... So I can't decide how much noodle I want in my bowl either?
So $10 for a tiny Mongol bowl that wasn't very filling, with no rice, soup or egg roll on the side. $2.80 for a coke. On the plus side, the ingredients were top quality, and it was nicely cooked. It was nice to have the bowl brought to you, rather than waiting. If you pop the extra $2-4 you probably get a more filling meal.
Next time I go to YC on the east side I will beg them to add a west valley location.
