Genghis Khan Mongolian Grill

It’s probably been at least 6 years since I’ve visited a Mongolian Grill – Genghis Khan (Facebook Instagram: @mongolianbbqTO  (This visit being my second time ever! The concept of “all you can eat” slightly frustrates me in the sense that I  feel I never eat enough. Another reason being I’m a very indecisive person (It would probably be hours before I finally decide on what I want to eat . Nonetheless, 2 weeks ago, I decided to put all my reasons aside and just go indulge in an epic feast!

Genghis Khan Mongolian Grill is a Mongolian inspired DIY stir fry and Northern Chinese buffet on Don Mills Road in North York, ON. The restaurant is separated into two sections the Mongolian grill and the buffet area that serves Chinese hot foods. It should be noted that they do not serve Mongolian food here at Genghis Khan Mongolian Grill. Rather, it's a borrowed concept from the legend of the great warrior, Genghis Khan, from the 13th century. Back then, Genghis Khan and his soldiers would prepare and cook their meals on their upturned shields over a hot fire, and would use their swords to cook the ingredients. This is pretty much where the concept originated from, and it has been popularized throughout the world.<br/ <br/ The concept is pretty simple, as diners would choose various ingredients from the displays to combine together to make their desired bowls. Genghis Khan Mongolian Grill offers an array of meats, ingredients, vegetables, and sauces to mix and match, so there's definitely something for everyone. First up was the meat station where you have the option to choose from lamb, pork, chicken, and beef. I recommend taking more than 4 5 slice of meat, as they do shrink in size on the grill. I was impressed with the variety of sauces that they offer, as there were plenty of pre made sauces, and oils/seasonings (chili oil, sesame oil, fish sauce, cooking wine, etc ...   available. After choosing your meat, you would then add whatever vegetables, type of noodle, and sauces you want, and then take it to the grill to be cooked. The griddle operator/chef would then take your raw bowl, and cook it on the large, and round iron grill  (with the addition of oil and water . The grill is rather hot, so it cooks quite fast within 5 minutes time (heats up to 300 °C .

I love picking my own meats, vegetables, noodles and sauces, then watching them cook your noodles into a tasty dish on the big round mongolian grill.  I recommend getting 1 bowl for your noodle and sauces and one bowl for your meats and vegetables.  The buffet section isn't anything special so i usually just stick with the noodles.  The chocolate fondu and shaved ice is also a nice way to end the meal.

Good buffet for stir fry lovers. You grab your noodles or rice. Meats and veggies, choose a sauce and then they make it for you on a hot table. Not much variety after the stir fry.

I had a unique experience at this place! The buffet offered a large selection including dessert which included a chocolate fountain. You pick your own meats, veggies, noodles and sauces in a bowl. Cooks there then cook the food for you in front of your eyes on a giant hot stove. Its wide range of food is perfect for vegetarians and meat-eaters.
