| - Since I eat at Mongolian BBQ as often as possible where I live in California, I was excited to find a place in a very new area of Arizona. This area is a place that didn't even exist when I was growing up here.
So I have to say since I have been to so many, this is not a new concept for me, and I can compare what I know to be great Mongolian to this.
To educate those that have never been to one, you usually can get as many bowls as you want to use to create the master dish you want to be cooked together. Here, they yelled at us for using more than one bowl and told us to push it down with a piece of paper .... what?!? And meanwhile, those around me where doing it making a huge mess, how could they not? This rule is absurd. Take two bowls and fill them up as you like, then they are cooked together and the cook turns it back to you in one HUGE bowl that is the size of the two small ones that you filled up with even more room.
I am just used to little authentic Mongolian places where there are no rules as to how you create your master dish. And this thing with either all you can eat or one trip for a dollar less is just ridiculous. Just make it one price, all you can eat period. Allowing customers to choose between two choice that have a dollar difference was creating such a negative atmosphere in there with the server going around and telling everyone what they are doing wrong and that they have to get the all you can eat if they use more than one bowl, and if they do all you can eat, they still can only use one bowl. Its just not a good set up for happy customers.
The fun party about Mongolian is being your own master chief, let your customers do that without ridiculous restrictions on bowl usage and smashing down food to make rood for more to pile it up like a tower that is falling down all over the counter.
