Mongol King

So, my husband and I were on a quest for the perfect lunch spot with the kids--because let's be real, feeding a family is like a scavenger hunt for a magical place that serves food without the stress. We stumbled upon this all-you-can-eat noodle joint for $19.99 (kids eat for just $12.99, because apparently, they know how to negotiate).It was buffet style, and they cooked the food right in front of us, just like at that Mongolian BBQ in the mall where you pretend you're a chef for a minute. Spoiler alert: I'm not cut out for it. There is a server, the place is spacious and we got seated at a booth. Anyway, the noodles were delicious, but we definitely didn't stop there. We dove into the soft serve, brownies, and jello like we hadn't eaten in days. At this point, I think we all rolled out of there. Who knew a noodle buffet could double as a cardio workout?

Walked in at 2:25 pm , greeted a man saying they will be closing in 10 mins and they cant take us.But at the door says lunch closes at 3 pmLoss a business for 4 people!

I started my love of Mongolian bbq restaurants while a UCLA student (Gotta love Mongol's). When I moved to the South Bay, there aren't many options. I've been coming to Mongol King for a decade or more, mainly because the next closest Mongolian BBQ is in the mall's food court and the next one is all the way in Manhattan Beach. The food options are okay but this place has definitely gone downhill over the years. You get your bowl full of meats (beef, chicken, turkey, pork, or lamb), and then top it with veggies, noodles and ladles of "flavoring." They used to have directions on how much flavoring to use based on your bowl size but that was taken down. Most of the labels have worn away. The noodles seemed to cut into smaller pieces (not sure if that was intentional but it makes it harder to pile up the noodles).They used to have egg rolls and real wontons (with the tiniest chunk of chewy meat in it) at the "appetizer bar" but that's been replaced with wonton chips that are either overcooked, stale, or taste of old fryer grease. The Chinese chickenless chicken by salad is still sad. I also want to say they used to serve a cup of ramen broth (soup) but no more with the meal. The sesame flat bread is still there although, I think the consistency on the bake varies every time I go there. The bowl of steamed white rice is still overcooked and I suspect gets recycled. Dessert is watermelon slices, brownies, and soft serve ice milk. They got a fancier machine that does 2 flavors but the mix they use makes two flavorless soft serves. The brownies used to be Ghirardelli but now i suspect it's some generic brownie mix that's less flavorful. There are still two-three employees (one who is the manager-server, and two of the same cooks) who have been there for ages. They are always kind. No complaints. The restaurant decorates are sparse. The place, except the veggies/noodle party of the buffet, seem to be clean. It's $20-23 pp (kids are ~$10 less). Bottom line, while I be back? Yes, since the staff is nice and it's filling. It's not fancy. The kids like it since it's customizable. Not much more to say.

I've been eyeing this place for a while and have finally gotten a chance to go. It's about 22 dollars for all you can eat and I think the price is great! There are a lot of options and overall the food is pretty good. I'd definitely be back!They give you some rice for the table and some bread as well. They also have jello, brownies and ice cream for dessert. The service is also fast and efficient and overall again great at what they are doing. The place wasn't too packed for a Saturday night, but I will say it was running low on few things like the beef. But they filled it up on the second round we went back up. And it was a little messy. Other than that a great experience and am happy I finally got to go!

Mongolian BBQ at its most average. This place used to be pretty great, but it's taken a slide. They always seem short staffed, the meat / vegetable bar is generally a mess and running low on meat and popular ingredients, and you'll usually wait half your meal to get rice and biscuits delivered. With that said, the cooks do a good job, there's generally no wait, and it's the only show in town outside of the food court Mongolian BBQ at Del Amo Mall. So, I still find myself coming back. A ton of room for improvement and I hope it can return to its former glory.

Been coming for over 20 years and this place doesn't let you down ! All you can eat is great & the workers are nice and can help you with the sauces the food and quality are great

Amazing experience every time i've eaten here!!!! Terrific food and i always have leftovers!! The food is cooked in front of you in a very fun display and i cannot recommend eating here enough! the noodles and meat are so tasty and all the sauce combinations possible make the fun endless!!!

Neat spot. You can pack on food into a bowl and they'll cook it in front of you. Came with some super tasty bread on the side as well!

It's been there for years and the food is good. They are also very nice there and for an extra $3 you can grab all you want instead of trying to cram everything in one bowl. I only gave it four stars because there were a few gnats around the veggies but that isn't necessarily their fault or a deal breaker for me. Overall it's a good meal when you don't know what you want and they have tofu and veggies if you don't feel like eating meat or are a vegan.

1 word DELICIOUS! I highly recommend this place, the make your own noodle bar has amazing options, the only hard part is getting everything to fit in your bowl!! The ice they have here is so good to crunch on. They also have an ice cream machine
