Genghis Khan Mongolian BBQ




Before going to Genghis Khan Mongolian BBQ, I was expecting some spicy food, maybe served on a hotplate, sizzling as you wait to dig in. What I got was different, but still (kind of) the same, and very fun!

We called in advance, booking a table for six. ‘It is a good thing that you called in advance,’ we were told.

Delicious breadsticks!
When we arrived, and found the restaurant that is tucked away in a corner of a desolate business complex, the restaurant was seemingly empty. The friendly waitress led us to our table on the far side of the restaurant. The restaurant itself was adorned with Chinese lanterns, and had neutral brick walls. I noticed a sign on the wall near the entrance, advising the patrons of the restaurant’s imminent move to a new location on the 1st of January.

We sat down, and after a quick look at the menu settled on ‘The Victory Meal,’ the Mongolian BBQ grill. ($19.50/person, less for under 12s). The waitress came over, bearing a basket of crisp, buttery, crumbly and delicious breadsticks. We told her our choice and ordered some drinks. She told us to make our way over to the adjoining room to make our meal, all-you-can-eat, make-your-own flavour, Mongolian BBQ.
