I'm not sure why this restaurant gets such high reviews from friends who have dined here. Is only because it is all you can eat? I went here for Sunday lunch.The restaurant is not clean. Floor at meat, noodle and vegetable bar was sticky. I saw a person pick up food with her fingers from this food bar.The employee refilling the bar had bad body odor. The walls at our booth were grimy. Looking along the wall from our booth to the west side of the restaurant, I saw that the walls were dirty and grimy all the way down the south side of the room. Food was OK, but Sunday lunch cost $12. I don't think what I had was worth that amount of money. Does anyone think to wipe down the counter where people place their food bowl for the grill? I didn't see it cleaned one time while I was there with lots of people waiting for their food. People leaning on the counter, some with their hands on the counter. Wipe it down occasionally, please. The cooks place your food on a hot grill, then proceed around the table stirring and flipping food that was placed there before yours. The use the same spatulas on all the food to stir it. When Yours is finished, they scoop it into a plate, then spray water onto the grill and scrape it down before placing someone else's food where your food had been just moments before. I suggest that you go elsewhere there are lots of good restaurants in that area. Food falls out of the plastic bowls that you put your food in.

I really enjoyed this place. The price is good and you can customize your order however you would like. I really liked the sauce suggestions they provide so you can have a basic idea of what combinations might go well together.

NOT IMPRESSED. We paid $12 each to wait in the 30 minute line for our food to be cooked. The ingredients on the buffet were old and bits of food dropped in to other containers. The grill was dirty and the cooks cleaned it with steam and a spatula, splashing dirty water on other people's food. The flavor was bad. I an say that the cooks and other staff were doing their best to keep up with the crowd, but I'd rather pay the price at a sit down restaurant with a waiter that brings clean food made for me.

Hit or miss and always gives you the sh..s. food gets cross contaminated, some cooks drown your food in water washing off all the spices, you can NOT have them cook it with rice, food is not always kept at the right temperature, seafood not cleaned properly & is very sandy

I love this place. I've been here many times and I've never been disappointed. The food is always wonderful and the service great. The only complaint I have is the ice tea which is very good congress in a glass small enough to be a shot glass. This makes unnecessary work on your staff. Otherwise this is one of my favorite places.

Our waiter was happy, knowledgable and professional about the menu. The meat and veggie ingredients are fresh and new. Watching the cooks prepare your food right in front of you is a great experience and very entertaining; be sure to bring single dollar bills to tip after the grilling. This is a great place I wish more restaurants were like this in California.

Visited this place with a friend and was probably it has been a long time for me to eat noodles and this was perfect place to start with... staff were friendly and items were looking fresh but sauces were mix

OMG! This place is awesome :) Loved the food and loved the service. I went with a bunch of friends and they were able to split the checks and they even gave us military discount. Our waiter was really knowledgeable and made recommendations that were perfect! Kudos :)

First time experience was a nice one. We went at lunch time , before the work crowd. So we were served drinks as soon as we sat down. We had a large group and once the work crowd came in we were way to close to the other people to try and get past to get to the buffet. The meat and vegetable buffet was a good selection. They have signs that say "get one bowl",but its obvious from all the customers who frequent "Huhot" , that its ignored. I saw many filling one bowl for meats and one for veggys. Which is the way to go anyway. Then you move over to the sauce bars. Where they cater to every need ranging from sweet to sour and mild to hot. My husband had a corn allergy and can't have all the sauces, but that was not an issue either, cause they had plain to flavored oils to season the meat and veggys. After the sauce bar, you line up along the back wall to wait your turn for the two guys to fry them up in front of you. They have it down to a science. I compleatly lost track of my food once it hit the grill, but they gave it back to me just as I ordered. The one thing I do have a problem with is when it gets crowded , the sauces from your neighbors food gets into yours. The grillers try to keep them all separate, but the liquids DO mingle. Also , when your food is on the grill, they are cleaning the grill across from your food. They move so fast and push the water cleaner mix so fast to the center of the grill where the trash is , that there's no way it does not hit your food! Its not the smartest way to do it. There is cross contamination. The food tasted good and I went for seconds so it gets 3 stars from me.

I have been to many Mongolian restaurants and have learned that it is all about the sauces you put on your items. Huhot has a wide variety of meats and veggies but their sauces are just amazing! So it doesn't matter what you are cooking the sauces make it taste amazing.
(5)Patrick S.
I am orally ok, did i really just say oral?, with giving this chain a 4 star plug. I have been in love with HuHot for years...discovering this gem in Topeka made my month there. We hit this place up like three times over the course of three weeks so it definitely kept us coming back. Lots of options, good selection of spices and oils and I like their grill process! Add the salad and rice and a huge glass of water and you will waddle out of this place, guaranteed! This place will satisfy your oral needs...among other! Peace!

I have come here often and I always enjoy the atmosphere. It is as if you are eating inside a painting class. Every item you add is your own idea and you have the ability to truly be the master of your own work with very minimal but effective guidance. The process of making your dinner is simple enough and fun. In my most recent visit we had a large party, which is not terribly extraordinary for this restaurant. We had no reservation, under quoted the table size by four because the event host does not know how to plan. This considered we were promptly accommodated. The food quality was the same as always. This night was a rare exception and for once I came during the dinner of which the complimentary soup was terrible and very sodium rich. For everything being so good, why use the same egg drop soup as everyone else? I digress. Because my nephew and niece are spoiled little brats, they couldn't eat what everyone else was eating. Of COURSE they needed a chicken strip platter. No bother to me, but apparently they had to wait until we were practicality done eating to get their food. I couldn't care less and would have chalked it up to these kids needing to learn to eat what everyone else does, but it was a nice touch when the manager recognized that their ticket time was slow and offered us free desert in the way of smores. While I have to question the judgement of giving my kin fire and marshmallows that can be turned into flaming meteorites in a nice restaurant, it was nice not needing to complain had I wanted to. One annoyance, I wish there was some other pricing besides coming as an all you can eat buffet. Look, I get it, it's Topeka by God. You have to cater your meals to your audience but not everyone is going to go through and get five 3,000 calorie miniature Mt. Suribachi's (which I always want to plant a chopstick in for Corps and country.) I also realize that half of the patrons feel the need to eat the caloric intake of Michael Phelps during the Olympics in one sitting. But this is no reason I should have to pay higher prices. Can't I just pay for one plate? Maybe I don't want to help supplement someone getting diabetes. I understand those Mongolians are communist Chinese but this is America. (What's that? Mongolia isn't in China? All the more reason not to be communist. 'Murica!) In summary, I know every time I come here there will be a level of standard that makes this place "good." the food selection is wide, the flavors bountiful, the process is unique. The dinner is expensive, and not as worth it as other sit down restaurants. Don't want soup or salad? Come during lunch, these "complimentary items" come at a price during dinner hours.

I found it hard to rate this place because it's so easy to forget. While the experience of creating your own meal can be fun and somewhat adventurous, it can sometimes be a disaster and if you have a conscience about wasting food, the guilt may set in. I once went to a HuHot in Madison, WI and seem to recall them having little cards that have "recipes" or suggestions for your plate... I don't think I've seen them around at this location. HuHot can get pricey, also.. And that's a bit of a downer for me. I don't really see the point in ordering additional items when there's the option of creating huge plates of whatever you want BUT there have been a couple of occasions where extras have been ordered at my table. The crab rangoon is pretty tasty.. But once we all got soup. I ordered the egg drop soup and literally after a few spoonfuls was dehydrated from the overload of sodium. So... Avoid that.

We've waited a long time to live near a Mongolian Grill after loving a place in the Seattle area. Huhot is a very close second to Chang's. Lunch prices are better than dinner. We take advantage of their gift certificate sales to get a bonus certificate. Good service. Always plenty of refills.

Sunday night and short staffed. Went here for our son's birthday. Even though they were short staffed our server hustled and took care of us. Her name was Hona. The food is decent. I ordered the teriyaki salad because I'm not a fan of buffets. Even it was good. Just a really good experience.

I'm not a huge fan of AYCE Mongolian BBQ as it seems to get monotonous after the first round, but I tried this place for a change. The drill is similar other such places - pick a bowl and fill it with different meats and vegetables top off with noodles then add sauces as per your taste from mild to hot and finally have the food cooked on a open grill. They have a range of sauces but what stood out to me was the "Burn your village BBQ" which had a nice spicy tang to the traditional BBQ taste so i would recommend that you try that for sure. The grill is deep inside the restaurant and as I was given a place close to the grill by the time I fished my meal and got out i literally had the smell of BBQ in my clothes so my advise would be to get a seat a little further from the grill. Also as we inched towards closing time the number of chefs working the grill was down to one which did not provide him sufficient time to correctly work the number of dishes that he was multitasking on and my last round ended up getting a little over done. Overall not bad place to have a meal once in a while.

It's good. It's probably healthier than many other eat-out options in the Topeka area. We enjoy it - except for the price, which seems a bit high... don't get me wrong though - good food. However, if you want to sit and talk to someone during your meal, you're going to have a difficult time. It's noisy. Banging utensils on the grill, commotion from the other diners and if you want a second plate, the meal is interrupted and it's never a fast time thru the line. The food has to cook after all. So, there's that disruption too. My suggestion: go at an irregular meal time. 3pm for lunch or 4pm for dinner. There will be less of a wait, the food selections will be topped off and there won't be a line at the grill, all of which equals a more pleasant dining experience in my book.

I really like Mongolian BBQ-style places, since I can load up on tons of veggies with delicious sauces. The pre-made sauces that they have a great (and I prefer this to places where you have to concoct your own, possibly disgusting sauce); they are organized from least to most hot, and then supplemented with several flavored oils and lemon juice so that everyone can customize their sauce choices. If you do not want as much sauce as they suggest (3-4 small ladles), tell the grill cooks and they can add water to ensure that your food is cooked. If you are hesitant about making your own stir-fry, the restaurant has menu cards to let you know some tried and true combos--if you do not see them on your table, ask the server. The meat (always chicken, beef, sausage and some type of fish or seafood, plus several other items depending on day and time of meal) and a nice veggie selection (spinach, cabbage, carrots, celery, onions, mushrooms, broccoli, mini corns, water chestnuts, potatoes, cilantro, and other stuff depending on the day) along with firm tofu and 3 types of noodles are varied enough to appeal to most pallets, but I wish the tofu was fried, so that it would stay together when cooked. All in all, a place that I stop anytime in I am in Topeka.
(4)Martie R.
We were very excited to come here. Food was ok. The only bad part was a server who we witnessed use the restroom and not wash his hands. Yuck.
(2)Leichardti F.
Is it just me or no matter what I stir fry with whatever combination of sauces, everything tastes the same?

HuHot is a really easy place to feed a vegan. There is tofu on the food line and you can go to their website and see what allergens are in each dish including as well as what your calorie/nutrition etc. HuHot is a chain restaurant -- I'm not sure people are aware of that. The food is good once you've had some practice with the sauces -- I have spent a lot of time tasting every sauce individually (we eat here at least twice a month -- its hard to feed vegans in Topeka). If you've never had mongolian before, the staff will explain it to you (They'll ask you if you've been there before when you arrive.) There are also "recipes" for flavor combinations on your table and above the sauce bar so you don't have to go in blind. Don't be intimidated by the make your own bowl of food concept -- we took my 87 year old grandmother who is definitely NOT a try new things sort of person and she loved it. If you don't like spicy food, stick to the sauces at the start of the sauce line -- they get spicier as you move forward. I always recommend draining off most of the oil and getting a good scoop of garlic when using the garlic oil. The peanut sauce should be used mostly alone but will lead to a pretty heavy dish so a ladle of lemon juice goes really well with it. I would avoid the Asian Coconut that is currently the special season offering. It tastes weirdly metallic. My favorite sauce combo is 3 Khan's Favorite, 2 Hoisin, 1 Garlic Bean, 1 Szechuan, and 1 drained scoop of garlic oil. When I am not trying to eat healthy or on a cheat day of my diet, I enjoy the Peanut Sauce.

Everything was wonderful from start to finish! Smiles greet you at the door, the wait staff is pleasant and extremely helpful, and the experience is very unique. We love going to this restaurant and frequent it often in Topeka when we are visiting! The food is always good! Love it! My kids think the open grill is cool. There is a wide range of sauces (probably not quite as hot as I expected)...take the suggestions of the wait staff and menu for sauce combos; trust me. Wonderful experience!
(5)Kenny R.
The food was good, but just because I knew what I was doing. I'm not really sure if I should have tipped my waiter, he was completely worthless. He never offered me soup or salad, and only came by twice to check the water, nothing else. Chefs were friendly. Lack of beer selection(supposedly draft wasn't working). Been to BD's before and it was much better.

Unless you have been here a few times, this place can be a hit or a miss. The restaurant is a buffet style where you select your meats, vegetables and sauces and then the cooks with fry everything up for you. What makes it a hit or miss is the sauces and the different combinations that you can make. Select the wrong sauces and you'll have something that tastes like crap. But with a little practice, you will find what you like. The food selection is great. They typically have pork, chicken, beef, crab, and salmon for meats. They have 3 different kinds of noodles, and about 10 different kinds of vegetables. There is also about 20 different sauces that you can select from. The restaurant is fairly busy during lunch, there are days where we have waited up to 20-30 minutes in line to get our food cooked. But if you get there outside of the rush, then you can be thru the buffet and have your meal ready to eat in about 10 mins.

I'm from the Topeka area and whenever I'm back from school this is where you'll find me. I'd recommend going during a slow time of the day for your first trip if possible. Just in case you mess up a sauce combination and need to go back through the line. Dinner is significantly more expensive than lunch but it comes with a soup or salad so make sure to take advantage (I love the Asian salad!) of it.
(5)Cash W.
I like this place a lot. You get to do your own cooking all the way up to the point of putting it on the grill. They do that part for you. But all the choices of what goes on your plate and how it's flavored are all up to you. I like that.
(4)Nicholas G.
I've eaten here four times, always as part of a work group that has picked this place for lunch. The idea is appealing, but I have found the food displeasing everytime I've eaten here. I like Asian food, and have eaten happily in similiar type of Mongolian resturants in Kansas City. But for some reason that I've never been able to identify, the food does not taste good to me hear, even though I stick with the kinds of sauces I know I like. I always dread it when someone picks this place for lunch and try to offer up an alternative.
(2)Paul M.
Quick and good. there was ample parking and the ice water was cold.I had the kung pao sauce and it had a nice kick. I wil be back.
