Square Meal Review of Mongolian Grill ?

Headlined as an ‘oriental BBQ & hotpot restaurant’, the Mongolian Grill brings some authentic Asian culinary thrills to a quiet corner of Clapham Old Town. The concept has different names in different cultures – shabu-shabu, gogi gui, yakiniku – but essentially it’s a DIY blow out involving a pot of simmering broth at the centre of the table, surrounded by morsels of raw meats, seafood, vegetables & noodles for dunking into the savoury liquor. Simply choose the style & fragrance of the broth, select your chosen ingredients from the buffet display, & make up a dipping sauce from the condiments at the bar. Alternatively, grill your own food at one of the mini tabletop BBQs. Prices are remarkably enticing (‘all you can eat’ for around £12), & the whole show takes places in the compact surrounds of a converted pub – all black paintwork & red lanterns.

    I first went to The Mongolian Grill about 18 months ago and since then I have been at least 10 times and I will keep on going again and again.. I live in Palmers Green in North London and I dont mind the 1 hour and 20 minute journey home.
    My taste buds have come alive for the first time in years, ohhh the excitement of choosing my vegetables, meats, sauces and spices to cook at my table. love it, love it, love it!!!
    The staff are lovely too, always at help if I need anything and also helping me mix my sauces and spices and telling me what goes with what. Last time they showed me how to mix up a sauce with garlic, soy sauce and parsley to roll up in some lettuce with a slithers of juicy steak. YUM… THATS IT!! my taste buds are tingling again, Im going to book a table for saturday :-)

    I absolutely love this place. Went with three friends we all felt the same. Being a fussy veggie bore i was particularly impressed with the choice of fresh veg and meat alternatives. The staff were very attentive and excellent in advice on correct choice of soup base, and dips for my hotpot. We were able to choose two, to the delight of my friends.. I had my veggie side while the others got to indulge in their favourite meats and fish. Healthy food cooked and eaten at your table, to your own leisure, in fun relaxed atmosphere. The wine choice was very favourable. I am no connoisseur but my friend having just come back from a wine tasting weekend in France was very impressed. Perfect, something for everyone. Highly recommend for a great night out. Without breaking the bank. Will definitely be back. A must try…

    An awful offal dinner

    Being a Chinese who had been craving for hot pot and grill in this wintry weather, I searched online and found this highly rated restaurant that was also recommended by London TimeOut, yet the dinner was a disaster. We were literally being bullied by the restaurant's owners because they didn't inform us about the time limit yet were keen to kick us out before we finished our dinner because there were other customers waiting for a table.

    Food is really average – generally salty, wide range of internal organs (with no label) and meats are paper-thin; inconvenient location and horrendous service! I can only hope the customers do actually know what they are eating.
