Chinese Cuisine
The popularity of Chinese food in America can be adjudicated by the appearance of China Town in many major cities in the United State of America. The popular trend of ordering or opting for Chinese take away food isn't unknown in America. Chinese take away food comes to rescue when you're too tired from work or too exhausted to cook. No one can resist the temptation of eating spicy noodles, shrimp, chicken, beef or pork cooked in the sweet and spicy sauce. The cooking method of authentic Chinese food is a lot different compared to what is served in America.
Generally, Chinese use dark meat small bones and organs to cook dishes but this changes when you are eating American-Chinese fusion food prepared using white boneless meat cooked with broccoli, carrots and onions. Back in China, the food is less spicy and oily as they favor steaming and braising method for cooking the most popular dishes. So, if you have a taste for authentic Chinese food, then try finding a real Chinese restaurant in the city. You can also try the most popular fusion Chinese food like Pecking Duck, Chicken Feet, Hot Pot, Shrimp Dumpling Soup, Mapo Tofu, Wontons, Chop Suey, Egg Rolls and not to forget Fortune Cookies.
There are not many restaurants in America serving authentic Chinese food. A little research on Restaurant Listings directory can help you locate the best Chinese restaurants in the city. Chinese cuisine is continuously evolving, and you can find a variety of dishes categorized as the food for lactose intolerant, gluten intolerant, vegan, vegetarian, and diabetic friendly. So, if you have a group of friends with different taste patterns, save the hassle and visit the nearest Chinese restaurant in your city.

I had no idea what to expect here so I came in pretty open-minded. Experienced YC goers dash in and out by the bar as you eventually find your lost little way to the grill. I got a little grossed out loading semi-frozen, rolled lunch meat into my bowl, smashing it down to allow for more room,and then repeating: load, smash, load, smash...and it didn't even smell all that appetizing, but I followed what the other sheep were doing. Thank goodness there was tofu. I ended up actually eating that stuff. It's a first for me, liking the tofu over the meat. Next, you add vegetables, pile them high. (Not too high or they will be all over your tray) You then look up at a board that has way too much information written on it and try to figure out the sauce-to-pile ratio. My friend warned me to add more sauce. I went a bit overboard on the sauce somehow, as the food was swimming in it after it came back from the grill. You can't really complain when it's all said and done because you were the chef! If your food didn't taste so great (like mine) then better luck next time, I suppose. (bye bye, $9) You can get little fried noodles and other snacks to fill you up, and apparently there is a soft serve ice cream bar there, though it was closed for lunch. I will say, the iced tea there was very nice and if you are a Waponi Wu tribal member like my friend, they do have orange soda from the fountain machine. The place is roomy and the employees were super friendly. Just, go easy on the sauce and good luck!

Total yum! This was a long time find for my Wife and I. When we lived in Oregon we LOVED Chang's Mongolian Grill and really missed a place with the same type of food. YC's has hit the spot finally! Great mix of ingredients and more than enough! I get a full on meal as I like to prepare and season it, Soup, Won Tons with red sauce and a frozen chocolate or vanilla frozen yogurt cone at the end. The only thing I wish they had are the little rice pancakes and plum sauce that Chang's had, otherwise it is a great place to eat and good for all family members young and old.

Love this place. The food is delicious and you get a lot for your money.
(5)Praphul N.
The concept was good but you need to learn how to get the things right...our sauces in spite of getting help form the guy turned to be very salty.Now if you ask for help for adding sauce and still get a salty food???I am not sure whom to blame. If you r an expert at adding sauces....best of luck.They had rice and chips but we were not sure how should we eat the rice with mustard?????I know people were very happy that they can stuff food for 12 bucks but you go to you local Chinese place and you do get 3 days of food for that money though.Anyways we did not have luck in getting the right food so we are not going back.

Yuk. Will never eat here again. It was dis organized and food was undercooked and tasteless. Honestly - that's really all I have to say about this place ... sadly enough! Will not be going back.
(1)Stewart P.
YC's is a great place to hit up if you have a hunger gap that is bigger then a normal restaurant can fill. It is a build-it yourself mongolian grill and the possibilities are endless for what you can create. No matter what you get, if you are smart, you can manage to stuff enough food in your $12 bowl to feed a small village. The trick is to use the bottom of another bowl to smash your ingredients down. They have been cracking down on that sneekiness as of late, but if you can get away with it, it is well worth it. Another important point is that they charge you 50 cents for a to-go box, but you will need one so just plan on adding that to the budget. Also, when you are building your meal, the red meats will be more flavorful and you will most certainly need to add more flavorings than the amounts listed on their ingredient list. Have fun because this place is worth it.
(5)Charissa G.
One of the first places we tried when we moved here. Its a yummy place. Fair priced for what you get, drink and FroYo included at lunch. They offer papers to push you meat ect down so you can really pile the bowl high!! Very filling meal! The only thing I dislike is that you have to mix your own sauce!! This sucks when its busy and especially when you have small kiddos with you, it takes too much time! They need to have sauces pre mixed. Staff is friendly and its a very clean restaurant all the time. One of our faves nearby!
(4)Ms M.
I love this place! It's one of my favorite places around. Realitively healthy and you are in control of exactly what you want. LOVE IT!
(5)David L.
I accomplish 3 things when I go to Yc's Mongolian grill. 1. I feed myself for the rest of the year. 2. Save money 3. Get a great tricep workout. Ycs Mongolian grill is a great go to place if you're looking for a casual dinner/lunch. Every date I bring here turns out to be amazing. You get amazing customer service. All the employees are well trained and polite to the customers. The prices are very reasonable for the unbelievable amount of food you get. This is a great place to explore your imagination with all the combinations of food and sauces you can create. I feel like Da Vinci while creating my meal and you can too.
(5)Kat P.
My man likes it here. This place stresses me out. If you have never been, you gather your ingredients and bring it to the grill for preparation. I feel like I'm making a mess, and the bowls aren't big enough. I feel rushed by the people behind me. I can never make the concoction of sauce that tastes good. Take out is a holy debacle. If it were up to me, I would pass. But I undoubtedly will be visiting again sometime in the future.
(3)Courtney B.
I've been here twice and both times I got violently ill, and so did my sister. The staff is incredibly nice but I can't subject myself to that again..
(2)Nick P.
I love this place. I only go here once every couple months or so and I always forget how cool it is. Their food is awesome especially compared to others places around here. YCs us definitely on top. Two things I've rrad. One person claims they got food poisoning twice lol I just say bs. No way it was from restaurant. The place is pretty damn clean. I bet money she didn't wash her hands anyway that girl crazy but the real psycho is the chick who said it's too expensive and you pay for Togo boxes. The amount of you get is ridiculous. I mean a massive amount of food. Me and my girl and we have leftovers clear for dinner the next day. And the boxes are huge.I'd be surprised if someone could eat an entire box. And if you say it's Togo from the start they don't charge you extra. Trust me up r food will be hot when you get home. I live 40 min away and it's still hot Anyway two large meals ends up fitting into 4 boxes and could easily food a family of 4-5 or just for 2 and save em for the next day
(5)Keziah C.
Everything was excellent I would surely recommend it but the reason why I gave it 4 stars is because the charge $0.50 for to go boxes like if I am fool and I want to bring it home I am basically paying to bring the food I paid for earlier and bring it home
(4)Lindsay H.
Love this location. Friendly service, clean and well-stocked. Must admit hubby had to talk me into coming, as we have had two negative experiences at other YC's locations. So glad I listened! Great variety of vegetables, meats and sauces. Only wish they had snap peas and water chestnuts. Front end and cooking service is always speedy. Rolling highchairs for small kiddos as you move through the "build your own bowl" line. A large bowl always gives me leftovers. Sometimes they will charge $.50 for a to-go box and others, not so much. Wish they would always have both sides of the Mongolian bar open, especially during busy hours. We try to avoid the rushes noon-2 and 5-7.
(4)Nate H.
Mongolian BBQ is one of my favorite meals. This was our first time at YC's. It was my daughters first time trying it the lady at the register was super friendly and helped show my daughter how to do it and helped make her a teriyaki sauce for hers and she loved it. Great food and awesome customer service.... we will be back!
(5)Kathy M.
Yum! You really can't go wrong at this place. You get a drink, soup, rice, and you get to build your own monster size bowl! I always get a large and pay the extra 50 cents for a doggy bag. I usually will get 3-4 meals out of mine (no I'm not joking). I'm a vegetarian so perhaps that is why, my bowl is full of noodles and veggie goodness! I usually make my own sauce, but there are plenty of examples written on the boards for you. Employees will also offer to help you make your sauce. I always go heavy on garlic, yc's own, and white wine. I've never had a bowl turn out bad! I add yummy brown rice to it and eat it along with those delicious fried noodles and addicting sweet and sour sauce. You seriously can't go wrong here!
(5)Rand H.
= = = = = = DAILY LUNCH AND DINNER BUFFET! = = = = = = Paid my first visit to this YC's location today, this time joined by Jackie C., Mike C. and Robyn N. This was a first visit for the three of them, and a good time was had by us all! :-) For this visit
(5)Julia A.
I really like this place! They make eating your veggies fun and easy. Being veggie, I skip the meat section altogether (which has a good selection by the way) and pile on the cabbage, broccoli, mushrooms, tomatoes, and tofu - yum! Then, there are several types of noodles and a huge spread of sauces, oils, and spices to add as well. I think it's best to use a separate bowl for your sauce mixing and also make sure to grab a piece of wax paper to help smush your ginormous food pile down while you're loading to maximize space! A small bowl will run you about $10 and a large, $11 for lunch - prices jump up about $2 for dinner. Your meal also includes soups, wontons, rice, and a drink. I think they may also have an unlimited option - which scares me a little bit! :/ Pretty good deal considering I always leave stuffed after eating just the small-sized bowl! One after thought I had was that this place might be problematic for people who have food allergies (poultry, peanuts, shellfish, etc.), as all the food is prepared on one of two large grills - which they don't really clean between customers. Just a heads up!
(4)Don F.
I like eat a lot of vegetables and I love them stirfried why sees doesn't excellent job and I enjoy going there OK so then I've got there
(4)M J.
Love this place! Great staff, clean place and best of all, GREAT FOOD!!!
(5)Christine L.
The people here are super friendly. They definitely will help you out on how to make sauces and also any other questions you might have. I'm just a little surprised on how expensive YC is now. I haven't been here for years, so I'm not too surprised now. The only thing that kind of irks me is that they charge you 50 cents for a to-go box and it's not even the super big boxes, it's the small one like for Chinese takeout. That makes me force to eat everything on my plate and I would have love leftover Chinese food for the next day. Other than that, the food is still good.
(3)Minh L.
3.5 stars. So above average. This place is good for what it is. Go in, pay for a small, medium or large bowl, get your food in the bowl and some sauces in a separate bowl at the end, give it to the cook and then enjoy. Oh, and at a separate bar, get some white or brown rice, soup or some sauces. Then get yourself a drink. That's it. One small thing I don't like is that every single thing is frozen. The food lost its quality that it should have. But for a quick lunch at a place like this, what can I expect? Oh and for a small, the price here was $10.25. I think that's a little expensive all things considering.
(3)Amanda P.
YC's Mongolian Grill is my absolute favorite places in the world for stir fry! Hands down the best! I Love that they have fresh ingredients, and a wide verity. The beat part? YOU get to make your own! Its also pretty cool to be able to watch them make your food RIGHT in front of you!! It's a pretty cool experience!!!
(5)Elina A.
EHHHHHHH I don't know. I give this place two stars because there is nothing special about the place. Meats don't taste amazing good, and everyone in my party pretty much agreed that nothing would bring us back.
(2)Donn O.
Good food but prices going up and bowls getting smaller. .50 to take home leftovers that don't fit in your small more expensive bowl.
(3)Carlin S.
Best ever. Stack it high and create you're own creations. My favorite.. On top of food add 1 ycs own 1 sweet n sour 1 paneang 1 cooking wine 1 curry. In sauce bowl 3 ycs own 3 sweet 2 ginger 2 garlic 1 cooking wine sesame oil over the top and hot chili oil. You're welcome
(5)J A.
Tried mine with their recipe for Thai peanut red curry with an extra scoop of 'curry' seasoning. Spicy and yummy. I get better making the sauce each time.
(5)Sadie L.
Food is pretty good! I love the selection, and during the weekdays it's not too busy/crowded. Location is nice, service was good, prices are fair ($12 each). Lots of options to choose from for protein and toppings, plus the sauces are awesome! YC's is a nice dinner date night spot (nothing to impress a first date with, something to take the husband/wife to), but can get expensive with a large family.
(3)Jason D.
The crew here is great ! I've been dining at YC's since 2000. Now that I have children and 1 with a peanut allergy cross contamination is always on out alert when eating out, we asked the staff about any sauces or cross contamination and they helped us out. I recommend any of the YC's Mongolian BBQ locations
(5)Heather B.
This place is always delicious!! :) such a great price and guarantee it will feed you at least 2 meals!!!
(5)Mama B.
Our family favorite!! My kids beg to eat here.
(5)Kristen S.
Visited this spot tonight with my love after visiting Genghi's Grill a week ago. I was told that this place was better but I was heavily disappointed. There wasn't a good selection of meats or seafood. The sauces were all watered down so I barely had any taste to my food. The cook dumped a raw egg into my noodles (which cost an extra quarter, unlike Genghi's ) and cooked it for all of 30 seconds then thew my food with the raw egg still in it, in the bowl. To top it off, we watched another patron have to pay to get a to-go bag! I won't be revisiting this place again.
(1)Jocelyn S.
This place is great. I like how the chicken was cut in very thin....shaved flakes? Anyways, I liked the thinness and I didn't have any qualms that it wasn't cooked enough or anything. Tons of veggie options, and the girl working was so helpful when it came time to pick out the sauce. The chef's favorite or YC sauce is pretty good. Nice all around sauce, not too off the wall but still a good mix of sweet and sour and teriyaki. I like both, so it was perfect. The win tonight chips and ice cream cones are an added bonus!
(5)Trev L.
fantastic food. I haven't had Mongolian in years. this location did more than hit the spot. great prices.
(5)Ann E.
I love coming here. Being able to make my noodles the way I want is awesome plus the kids love it. Very affordable too. It gets very busy around lunch time but the line moves fast.
(4)Kandice L.
We use to go to this place all of the time, until this past Saturday night when three out of the four of us ended up with food poisoning. I feel bad for posting this review, but for those of you who are reading it just be careful. We will never go back, which is a shame, but for so many of us to get food poisoning is not a coincidence. I'm just wondering how many other guests ended up getting sick that night as well.
(2)Shelby S.
This place is pretty good! Nice sitting area and good selection of meats, noodles, sauces, and vegetables to choose from. There's also a soup/rice bar. Under 10$ for lunch and you definitely will have leftovers!
(4)Bob E.
YC's is definitely on our list of places to eat when we are in the area. You control the portion size, taste, and ingredients. They have recently added Udon noodles to the noodle choices, which are my favorite! $9.50 for a small bowl at lunch, and it includes soup, rice and a drink. Brilliant.
(4)Ryan D.
First time at YC's, had been to other Mongolian BBQ style places, none as "upscale" as this. Most of the Mongo places I've been are in the mall fast food court, or in a small strip mall. This place made us go WOW as to how big it was and all the food you get for about $11 a person for dinner. To go boxes are 50 cents, super reasonable considering you can really cram a lot of food into your bowl to get cooked. I was actually shocked that they suggested you pack the food into your bowl to get more space! Staff was friendly and even helped us out with mixing the sauces. This place is super close to our house and we will definitely be back frequently.
(4)C B.
Never ate at a mongolian place before and its okay for fast food. You can make it as healthy or unhealthy as you want and the bowls hold a lot more food then you would think. But in the end everything is super salty (even the soups at the end, just salt ridden) and your not always sure what sauces/flavors would go with what you just put into your bowl. Staff is friendly and the place is clean.
(3)Lana A.
The staff was friendly and nice. The food was also cooked quickly. The reason for my two star rating is simply the food is only worth two stars. I frequent restaurants in this food category and by far this place is the worst spot in the US I've eaten at. I was unimpressed with their sauces and their flavor on my stir fry/Mongolian BBQ. The food is very mediocre. However I will say for a cookie cutter restaurant and chain restaurant it was ok. Also stay far away from the soups. They were absolutely terrible.
(2)Margie F.
Love the fresh meat, vegetables, noodles and sauces to make your own custom stir fry. The servers are attentive and the environment is clean. I try to stay away from the lunch hour of 11:30 to noon as they are usually crowded and you may have to wait in line.
(5)Scott S.
Returned for a 2nd try - though went to the Southern & McClintock location this time. Had a much better experience - staff was more helpful, offering to mix a sauce to my liking and resulting in a dish was very tasty. Didn't notice the dry spices that seemed to be new to the staff last year. Overall I've raised my rating for YC's from between 2 & 3 stars, to between 3 & 4 stars, leaning toward 4 stars. Positives about YC's over their competitors: providing a larger bowl for ingredients, unlimited rice & soup, drink & desert included with meal (dinner menu). Negatives (in comparison to my favorite Mongolian grill): a smaller variety of ingredients, and having frozen sliced proteins rather than diced unfrozen proteins.
(4)Adam W.
This place is pretty good. It's always fun to make your own food. The staff Is pretty helpful too if you don't know what you're doing. The portions are pretty generous as well. My only complaint is that they make you buy a to go box for 50 cents. Seems like they could just give those out? Otherwise I love this a
(4)Jordan S.
Always very clean, extrememly friendly staff and great food!!!! I'd u haven't been to ycs, its a must!! Staff is always willing to help u make you're own sauce or show u how to make their fav sauces for your bowl. And free ice cream!!! Cmon :)
(4)Brian W.
What a great place. Affordable, great selection, and I love that I can mix up my own sauces. Price includes as much as you can put in your bowl, soup/rice and drink. The only negative was that I had to pay .50 cents for a to-go container. Never have run into that before.
(4)Norman L.
I've been to the one at Pavilions in North Scottsdale so I think I'm a little pampered in that respect. However, I wasn't disappointed in the least by the food. What I always do is fill my bowl with meats of all styles! Turkey, beef, fish, and smash it down with the papers provided. PUSH heavily! After that, I top it off with veggies, and it always gets very ugly but fun. I smash smash smash and compress. You can't get it wrong, you really can't. Follow your heart, and put what YOU want in that bowl. The sauces are the awesome part too! This location lets you use a separate bowl for the sauces, which the one in north scottsdale didn't. I threw what I wanted into the bowl, swirled it up, tasted it a bit to make sure, then went to the end and handed it to the guys to cook it up. They did a good job, and the only real difference between the different stores is the presentation style. The one in north Scottsdale is more presentation based and the seating is less fast-food style. This store is quite fast-food style looking in my opinion, but that doesn't matter to me. I ate my food, put it into a to-go container for lunch the next day afterwards, and I was golden. Would I go again? You're damned right.
(4)Alan L.
Ladies and Gentlemen,Boys and Girls when you go to YC's Mongolian Grill bring your feed bag on.This place has several bowl sizes.to fill up your meats,fish and veggies up to the rim and beyond.. You add your own sauces and condiments the amount to your liking.. You can either add noodles to be cooked or there is white or brown rice already cooked. You can have all the soda you want and for desert they have frozen yogurt. I saw a man make a root beer float with the frozen yogurt.. It looked outstanding.I you want value and a great Mongolian meal, dash on over to YC;s.
(5)Kyle H.
How can you go wrong.. Fresh choices of frozen meats including pork, chicken (white and dark,) beef, and sometimes fish depending on what time you go. Pile on that huge choices of fresh vegetables. Add to that the many choices of dry spices and sauces. Give your dish to cook and he grills it over a big grill. You control the portion. You control the ingriedients. You control the flavor. $10.75 which includes drink. If you want unlimited, its $12.75. Its clean, fresh and tasty. Yes, everything gets mixed together. So if you are a person that needs your meal separated into sections, this is not the place for you. Want a nice change and fresh hot bowl, stop by. This is a gem that I had forgotten about until I was reminded recently by a friend. And now it will soon become my regular.

A friend of mine told me a couple of months ago that this was one of the restaurants she liked to visit. I had never been, so I gave it a shot tonight. Some pros and cons. Con: the traffic flow sucks. It takes a little longer to place the order, especially if a family or first timer is in front of you. It only takes a couple of people to put the line out the door. In fact one family of 5 was in line and I was next, standing with the door open. For that family, it was $41, which I thought was a little high for what you would get. Pro: there were many options of meats, vegetables and sauces. So much so that staff members were in place to ask about my sauce preference and they made it for me. Con: I didn't like meat packing. That was kind of nasty, really. The meat is frozen and arrives in the oddest shapes. Put that down as a base and add vegetables on top. The bowl fills up quickly, so you take the tissue, place on top of the ingredients and pack down. Like I said, a little nasty. Pro: The food was actually pretty good - they stir fry everything for you and it reminded me of Jade Palace in Atlanta - back when it was good. Con: I saw everyone packing the ingredients down and coming away with huge, heaping bowls, so I followed suit - then I felt like a lard ass when my bowl produced a large and a small bowl of finished product. What am I going to do with two bowls of food? I ate the small one and took the large one home. Typically a to-go box is 50 cents, but tonight they were having a high school fund raiser, so the fee was waived. Thanks, kids! Another pro: for the second time in a week a waiter referred to me as "boss" when calling me. Third time and its a trend, right? The small bowl, one visit is $9, the large bowl just a dollar more - and an unlimited return trip bowl was $11. I am not sure anyone would make a repeat trip. Like I said, my one large bowl turned into two bowls at the end. Too much for a guy even as big as me to eat. Overall, despite the nasty meat packing and poor traffic flow, I was pleased with the experience. It made for a good meal and a box of left overs that most likely will get thrown out (but you have to bring it home because you think you will eat it, right?) and you can follow it up with a nice soft-serve ice cream sundae. I took the chocolate/vanilla swirl. Sweet!
(3)Angela L.
3+ meals for $10.75? GREAT DEAL! Ask for your meal to go, so you don't have to pay 50 cents for take out box :) How do you get 3+ meals, you might ask? PACKING & SMUSHING! First, add some meat, and use the wax paper to pack down the meat all along the sides and the bottom of the bowl. Try to avoid empty spaces in between every piece of meat. Then add your vegetables, and smush it all down with the wax paper with each layer of veggies you add. Make sure to add enough meat and veggies so that your have a flat surface up to the brim of the bowl. Add lots of green onions for extra flavor. I recommend using the wheat noodles, because you can create a taller mountain of noodles and it's healthier! Advice for the sauce: ADD LOTS OF IT. Since you're now a packing queen/king, you can't use the recipes on YC's wall, either double up or triple up. Ask the nice Mongolian BBQ chefs to add pineapples and cilantro, and then when they finish cooking up your food, add some sesame seeds for that lil extra somethin somethin!

Was craving noodles and stopped in here not knowing what to expect. Didn't realize it was a make-your-own-meal kinda place, but I still went with it. I have to admit, along with some of the other reviewers here, I was a little grossed out by the frozen meat and "packing" everything down in the bowl. However I did like the fact that I could choose whatever veggies I wanted. I went a bit crazy on the sauce (I REALLY like saucey food apparently) and went with 2 different ones (and like 4 ladles full between the 2) even though I didn't have any clue what they were. I was VERY pleasantly surprised with my concoction. It was delicious if I do say so myself. I got the food to-go and also got a bowl for my husband and used different meat and sauces for his, and he really liked his too. I'm not sure you can really screw up on this, unless you don't put enough sauce I guess in which case it could be bland? Go heavy on the sauce I say.... p.s. the meal comes with soup and I got the house special and it was awesome!
(4)Susan G.
I am a fan of Mongolian grills but this one creeps me out a little by not cleaning the grill between customers. They also wipe the seats and tables with the same towels. They don't seem to observe the same rules we're all taught.
(2)Carrie B.
My friends brought me here for dinner last week, I loved it!! I've never had Mongolian BBQ before and I loved picking out my own ingrediants & flavors. Next time I'll take more time to see what flavors they have as my sauce wasn't quite what I was looking for (needed more flavor). I think this place gets PACKED though so not sure when I'll be back (hopefully soon!)
(4)Jenna L.
My sis and I took the parental units to lunch yesterday, and dad was curious about this Mongolian Grill stuff. This location is in the Supertarget shopping center in the corner by Radio Shack. Parking close the location is limited, but the large parking lot for Target is right there. When you enter, you pay up front for a kids, small, or large bowl. Large is $9 and comes with entree, drink, soup, rice (white and/or brown), wonton chips and dip, and @ dinner you get soft serve ice cream (lunch time, it will cost you $1). So you go down the line choosing your meats, veggies, noodles, and finally a recipe for your sauce. The employees have been available and very helpful each time we come here. They even put my parents sauce recipe together for them. At the end of the line, cooks fry up your concoction on round hot grills. Suggestion: if you like a lot of meat, grab a bunch and smoosh it down with the wax paper. The meat cooks up really small because it is cut so thin. Don't be afraid to pile on the veggies and noodles. And ask questions to find out which sauce you might like; there is everything from sweet to savory to spicy. Be prepared to take a doggy bag home, but they do charge 50 cents for one. The good thing is this food warms up so well in a sautee pan the next day! The favors have time to blend together and makes it even tastier! This place has the added benefit that you know EXACTLY what you are putting in your entree, so you know what you are eating.

It was my first time trying this place today and I was super impressed. I drive past it all the time on my way to the airport and have always been curious. I was a little nervous because I've tried other Mongolian grills before that were set up just like this one and they have never tasted that great. I'm also allergic to nuts and no matter how many times I tell the people at other Mongolian grills...i almost always have an allergic reaction. I wish I got the awesome host's name because she was super helpful to me the whole time I was there. Whenever I looked like I didn't know what I was doing she would come over and help me out. I also wish there was a tip jar in front because I would have loved to tip her for her awesome customer service! This place not only had great customer service, but also great food! I got my food to-go but this is pretty much how the place works: you have different options on the size of the bowl you can get to fill up. I got the small bowl but it was enough for two meals for me. They have good meat choices, yes the meat is raw and cold but that is why it stays fresh! Then they have different veggies to choose from and 3 types of noodles. You pile as much food as you can inside that bowl and they actually encourage you to cheat to get more food! They give you pieces of wax paper so that you can literally smash the food down and fit more inside the bowl. You can pile it up as high as you want...just as long as it isn't spilling all over the place. Then there is the AWESOME sauce bar. You can make your own sauce by mixing them together, or you can follow their easy instructions that show you how to make specific sauces! I told the cook that I was allergic to peanuts and without hesitation he cleaned the entire grill for me to make sure I didn't get any traces in my food. I also got one box to take either brown rice or white rice home and to-go soup bowl for a side of soup (the spicy beef was soooo good) and a drink. As you can tell I was very impressed by this place and will be returning again very soon! Lastly, if the host with the brown hair who helped me today is reading this...You're awesome! -sincerely the really lost and confused Asian girl who had to ask you a billion questions.

I've eaten at YC's over the years and was so excited when this location opened. This location has a great bright dining area. The manager is REALLY friendly and helpful and the place is always clean. If you have not eaten here, you are in for a surprise. First, just get into it and have some fun. You need to SMASH the meat down ALOT because it cooks down. Have some fun with the sauces! Now that I've moved to SoCal I do miss this place. YC's is MUCH better than the mongolian grills in SoCal.

Well it's about time that I yelped about something already, it's been forever since I have! Got here on my lunch break, and find it surprisingly similar to the mongolian grills that I've tried back in CA.. piling on the meats, veggies, sauces and such. I'm a little surprised to hear people review on this place that placing the ingredients in the bowl grosses them out, that's what a mongolian grill is, right? Oh well.. If you like to customize your food, this is the right place for you, but if you don't like getting messy with your hands, this is definitely not the place for you. Definitely liked the amount of choices in ingredients and sauces, the soup and drink that's included in the meal.. but the 50 cent charge per to-go box is pretty stupid. Staff is really friendly, bathrooms are clean, pretty spacious.... Overall it's decent, but will only come here if I am in the mood for lots of leftovers or willing to fork over $9 for lunch..
