OK. First of all, this is not actually Mongolian food. A number of years ago, some businessmen in Taiwan opened a Japanese-style stir fry joint and decided to invent a story about Genghis Khan's soldiers cooking meat and vegetables over their upturned shields. Historically inaccurate myth became fact for uneducated diners. Whatever, it's still an interesting concept. Real Mongolian food is noodles, dumplings, and hearty soups, usually with mutton and little else. At Genghis Grill, you choose from various meats and vegetables (including shrimp, not withstanding the fact that the capitol of Mongolia is nearly 1,000 miles from the ocean) and have them cooked on a grill for you. Service is kinda haphazard but the staff are all young and enthusiastic, and it was sort of like dining in a bus terminal with all of the activity and people coming and going. Recommended for lunch with a large group, definitely not for a quiet romantic evening.
