Genghis Khan Mongolian Bar-B-Q

Growing up in the 757 this has become a staple for family meals, holidays and sometimes just a very much needed celebration during the week. Pretty much the same people work there, so it really does feel Homey. The food brings back wonderful memories spent, and is now and forever a craving. Especially since being pregnant. In 28 years, I've never once said no when being offered to go here. Always leaving, fed and happy.

First time trying Mongolian BBQ, and honestly it's no different than the hibachi station at your local Chinese buffet, if not worse.They have one grill for the whole restaurant and chefs go in a circular motion grilling up your plate. You get low quality spaghetti noodles and few vegetables, then you have choices of meats. All low quality.I'd recommend putting a scoop of all sauces per recommendation, otherwise it's bland.For $14.99, you can definitely go to a Chinese buffet or even spend extra to go to AYCE KBBQ. But! It's worth the experience if you want to try this to say you've tried it.I wish the staff would clean the restaurant more frequently. There's lots of cross contamination, juices on the floor and counter, etc.

Been going here for 35 years and still enjoy it. Mix and match your own bowl of Mongolian goodness with combination of veggies, meat and sauces. Save room for the sesame bread. Have fun trying to guess what has changed over the years. Two thumbs up and would return.

Genghis Khan has long been a favorite of mine for nostalgic reasons... i was there once long ago and it was the very first Mongolian BBQ place I had ever been to... so it was a really nice place to bring Logan to and have dinner after a very long drive to Chesapeake. We were sat down quickly, and given our drinks, soup, rice, and a few nice warm pieces of bread. Everyone was very friendly and quick to refill my water, bring me more soup and my son more bread. The Problem here is the variety is very small for a place whose entire schtick is Mongolian BBQ. When you're charging similar rates as other locations that offer a full buffet along with a hibachi option, OR in the case of places like BD's they offer many more options for noodles, vegetables, and the like. My MAIN Problem, and this is something the restaurant needs to be made aware of, is on the evening we were there the older gentleman cooking the food was 100% cross contaminating bowls. The woman would dump the food onto the griddle, use the bowl a little for water transfer and chop of items on the griddle, and then grab a new bowl for the freshly cooked food. The old man, adorable as he was to watch, did not. He put the freshly cooked food right back into the bowl that he dumped from.. which means a bowl that just had raw chicken or pork in it. EEEK!Anyway.... other than that, the experience was nice, the nostalgia was still there. I miss the polaroids on the wall!

It was our first time trying this place and they did not disappoint. My husband, son and I went. Everyone was very nice . Our waitress was very nice and attentive. It's buffet style get a bowl feel up with all the different meats and veggies and noodles you like. I added every sauce to my bowl like 2 full scoops of each. Many sauces too choose fromThey then cook it for you in this circular like grill. It is only one grill and 2 people going in a circular motion. But food was still ready in no time even as they started to become packed. We also got white rice, bread and egg soup and a spicy soup. Everything was very good hot and fresh. It was so good. We went back 2 days later for round two. Will definitely be going back again real soon. This place is a must try.

Update** So when i got home after being stuck in traffic after taking the wrong way home smh and getting home after almost 2 hrs my food was still really warm!! Didn't even have to heat it up & it stillll taste amazing just like i remember it tasting when the 2 Mongolian Bbq places were here in hampton! Now hot & sour soup is 1 of my favs & i get it at my local Chinese restaurants and its good HOWEVER for me this place's has always been amazing & the way its supposed to taste!!! Oh excuse the pics i could NOT take pics before at least eating some!! Lol

Located in Military Circle (mall) , you really can't beat this place. Cheap price, quick meals, in and out buffet. My go to combo is a spoonful of sugar water, ginger, and Mongolian special with my beef and noods. It does get busy during lunch time due to the rush and construction workers getting lunch there, but they are pretty fast and accomodating. Go go go !

We have been frequent and loyal customers for 25 years and Mongolian BBQ has been one of only a handful of regular places we return to more than 2 or 3 times in a year. So we went for my son's birthday, August 2023, and this review will cover it.We had a party of 6 people, ages 14, 16, 22, 24, 50, and 54.We always got the round big booth, but they remodeled the seating and it's gone. So we got a large table, and it was fine. But that old round booth was really comfy.The sweet, nice waitress lady is still the same one we've had literally dozens of times over 25 years. She's still there, and provides excellent service. Always makes me smile when I see her there.We always start with Hot&Sour soups all the way around, and sesame bread. The soup and bread were hot and good and tasty as always.Now, were noticed something the last time we went, and confirmed it again today. Their sauces seemed very diluted and weak. It wasn't a fluke, because it was like that about 6 months ago, too.We've been going there 25 years, we know how we like to prepare our bowls with the sauces we like, for sure. But no matter that we doubled and even tripled the sauces per bowl, that flavor we love just couldn't be had. It was pretty bland, compared to how it's always been.It would be nice to see them upgrade their veges and meat selections like other places have. How about tufu? Rice noodles, string beans, siracha, spicy mayo, shrimp, eggs in the stirfry. Wow. Sauces at the table?I love this place and just don't want to see them outdone and outpaced by other places offering much more choices and variety and interesting things.The cooks need to cook longer, too, that toasty wok scorch adds so much flavor, but they don't do that anymore. It's rush, rush, rush, barely cooked, next....We are going to give it another try in a few months, but if it's still weak diluted sauces, less than minimal salad and dessert bar, sadly we'll have to find a new regular grill place.It felt really dated today.

This was the most bland food that I have ever eaten. I loaded the bowl with noodles, zucchini, onions, bean sprouts, carrots with beef and 2 scoops of the garlic, sesame oil and the chili oil. The vegetables were cut extremely inconsistent so the zucchini was still raw and the noodles had a rubbery chew to them. The bread was decent and the tea was okay. I won't be coming back

Love it! It's not a 5 star atmosphere but the food is great. I don't go for the atmosphere and the value is also great.
