Hot Bowl Mongolian Grill

It didn't "hot bowl" me over, but it's okay.I don't like stir-fry Mongolian food, but it's not bad. This place didn't really add anything to the experience, even more standard than usual if that could be possible. Just not great on any level, a little bit expensive, and watch out for all the fake reviews which is why I gave it 3 rather than 4.

This place is very good, and this is why I take some of these yelp reviews with a grain of salt. So let's break it down, as like most of the people who have yelp I checked the reviews and the three things that were talked about most were saying 1. the owners are mean and rude/don't care 2. that the flavors in their bowl weren't good, flavorful etc. 3. that it was pricey so these were the things I was determined to pay very close attention to.1. Customer Service Aspect: When I arrived with my boyfriend we were instantly greeted by the lady at the front counter. She asked us if we had been there before and we told her no. She explained the bowl system and pointed us towards the starting point. All while having a smile on her face. After we sat down we received our egg rolls almost instantly. While we were eating our bowls my boyfriend dropped his fork and within the 5 seconds it took me to say "I'll go get a new one" and turn around the server was already on his way with a new one. Best service I've had in a while! 2. Flavor: food line is broken down into categories, at the end there is a large selection of sauces and seasonings of all ranges that could be great combos, and btw YOU as the customer make the bowls and add the sauces/seasonings so saying the flavor of the bowl is off is just insulting your own seasoning skills! He can only save it so much when cooking it but if you decided to drown it in chili sauce and now you can't eat it, it's your own fault. Maybe try asking them what they recommend or tell them the flavor you want and they could possibly give you suggestions. 3. Price: We spend $41 for 2 people that's 2 appetizers, 2 entrees and 2 drinks which comes out to $20.50 a person, in this area that's the best you are going to get and very practical with the amount of food you get. Only thing I didn't like was the crab (it's imitation crab which is fine bc most restaurants use it I just don't like the texture personally)

I like the food. The lady owner is a nasty piece of work. She yelled derogatory and cursing out her two daugters with her filthy mouth the entire time that i was there to get my food. VERY VERY ABUSIVE. My daughter cried in the car driving home because she also speak MANDERINE and understand what the lady was saying to her two daughters. She then rudely approached me and said that she told you twice- the orange bowl is for meat and the metal bowl is for vegetable.I told her it does not matter because i will only use one bowl to get just enough food that i was going to eat. She would not let me be, but determine to win by saying, I will let it go but next time i will charge you extra...WTF? She needs to get her head out of that nasty gutter that she is in...this is NOT ok to treat anyone!

It's hilarious reading other people's comments about the owner or the hostess being pushy. It's always been great when I've eaten here and hostess is always pleasant with me. Food is always made great when I order too.

First time here and I can for sure say it will be the last. Ewww. Gross. Bowls "magically" shrink and somehow no matter how much sauce you give them - none makes it to the dish. If I could give zero stars, I would. Again. Eww.

I would say the food was really good, my bf and I enjoyed the chicken egg-rolls. HOWEVER, I would NOT recommend the lemonade. The lady that was serving us was very pushy which was kind of bothersome, she was ready to rush us out of there. It was super expensive for two people $50.00. Like wow. I would say that the service sucked big time but I like the food so much.

When my son comes home from college this is the first place he wants to eat. We come from Katy and it's worth the drive. It's always fresh and good with great service. This trip I had had oral surgery the day before and had to eat soft food. The owner took my vegetables to the back and steamed them to make them softer. I was so happy to get to eat a meal! Definitely will be back again!!

Family owned. Great customer service I go there often. Food tastes great and never had any complaints.

My hot bowl was a success. Met a group of friends for. Trivia night. We all ordered their hot bowls. I normally go with beef and shrimp as my poultry. The key to a very stacked bowl with minimum space is to start of with beef and then place all the veggies so that they stick on to the meat and that way u can compress them and stack more. Next is to add the sauces and seasoning and then go back to the protein section and top it with all the shrimp. The shrimp are slippery so it's best to wait till the end, otherwise items slide off the bowl and it's a mess. Finally hand over the bowl to the cook who prepares it for u. It was absolutely delish. My protein was bursting with flavor and it was hot ( taste and temperature). I plan on returning soon here

Gotta catch the hostess in a good mood or she's gonna make you feel like shit. She's always pushy on the eggrolls and trying to get more money out of you. The food is good depending on what ingredients you put in it but, I swear I have a feeling they take out meat once you give it to them to cook. My bowl was filled up to the top with meat but when I received it after they cooked it, it barely had any meat so I'm 80 % sure they take it out once your not looking..
