HuHot Mongolian Grill

We have been to a HuHot before so we knew the system. The place was clean, it had the expected mess around the buffet area from falling food chunks in overfilled bowels. We ate around lunch and it was hopping but their is never really a wait. They have a system and it creates fast food. I don’t believe I have ever had the same thing twice and it may be impossible unless you write down what you put in your bowl. We will be back, it is a safe quick lunch stop.

If I could give them zero stars I would! I had the worst experience ever! We went there for the first time ever, and when they seated us, they put us all the way on the other side of the room! Now, I don’t like to pull the race card, but everyone else there was Caucasian and they were clear over on the other side. We were told that someone would be with us shortly and 45 minutes later there was still no one helping us. Meanwhile, all the Caucasian customers that came after us were all helped! Of course, after complaining quite loudly someone finally came over to ask us if we needed anything! We of course left and never ate! Not once did anyone even apologize for making us wait 45 minutes! We ended up going to Olive Garden, and was able to get in and out in 30 minutes! Don’t waste your time with those racist people!

I appreciate how attentive they are to food allergies. Now if they could be that attentive to empty drink glasses and the food all over the floor then they’ll get the fifth star.

So much fun! Tons of options and everything was delicious. The peanut sauce is a stand-​out.

This is a touristy very commercial type restaurant. There is a novelty in gathering your own ingredients, waiting in a long line to watch the cooks sweat over all the meals they are preparing on demand on the same grill. I don’t eat land animals, so they scrape the grill and clean it and try to isolate it, which is as good as they can do. There is a desirable aspect in getting to choose exactly what you want on the plate. However, the meal experience is overpriced and the service is so-​so. When I think of going back I think it isn’t worth the price. Also the atmosphere is kind of stressful rather than relaxing.

I like that you can create your own stir fry here. They have a variety of meats, seafood, veggies and sauces to create your own special dish. Each time you can make something different. But the only thing that set me off about this place was just how dirty the section was with all the sauces. As people put the sauce in their bowls some of the stuff falls out or you spill the sauce so I would expect the employees to keep it clean but that didn’t happen the entire time we were there. But besides that the food was good.

I don’t know how frozen meat and a disgusting food prep station earned this place 4 stars! If you want to watch your frozen chicken get cross contaminated with the egg or pork your neighbor has chosen, than this place is for you! Poor sanitation and the «chefs» were covered in old food.
Save yourself some money and go to your local grocery store & buy frozen Steak-​Ums and a bottle of Terriaki sauce!

It’s okay. Don’t go crazy on your sauces though… you’ll regret it. Also, if you have allergies to foods such as seafood etc. do not eat here. Everything is cooked on the same grill and though they spray the hot surface with water regularly and scrape it, you are essentially eating (and tasting) everybody else’s food as well as your own.

Love this place. It’s also the cleanest HuHot I’ve ever been to. Staff is friendly and fast, and attentive. Big thumbs up to Jordan and Asher for getting me in and out today on a very short break from work. Keep it up guys!

If you like the Mongolian style stir fry, then this is the place to come. Great service and even better food. Reasonable price too; only $ 19.30 for a beer, appetizer and all you can eat Mongolian stir fry.

My family visits here often. We enjoy the food very much. Very large selection of food so that e every dish is different. My favorite is the peanut Thai and green curry sauce on everything. We went there mast night on my wife’s birthday. They had an opera singer sing her happy birthday which was pretty neat. Sometimes service is pretty slow on drinks but its probably because they are always busy.

My family enjoys going to HuHot. We can all get what we want and be happy! We normally visit the Rochester Mn location, but I had to visit the Valley View Mall today.
My daughter and I got there around 3:45 on a Saturday, so they weren’t too busy. We were sat right away and the server was there immediately. They really can’t screw up the food… you pick everything that gets cooked.
I really like the set up of the food bars and grill compared to other HuHot locations that I’ve been to. It doesn’t seem to be as crowded and flowed better. We noticed that even though so have bar items, there is no bar at this location.
The only complaint I had about this location was the grill. I will state that my food was great. They cooked everything thoroughly. However, there was no sense of urgency to getting the items on to a plate. My daughters rice noodles ended up kind of dry (they were mixed with another kind). They seemed a little sloppy as a few items from each serving was on the floor instead of being put on the plate. Positive though is that we didn’t get ingredients from other peoples food like we normally do.

I ate at HuHot last night. I was really disappointed when I went to choose the ingredients for my meal and they were out of beef and chinese noodles. These are 2 of my favorites. I waited for 5 minutes before someone came out to tend to the food and when I asked for the beef and noodles they got an attitude. It took several more minutes before they brought the food out and the employee still had an attitude. She slammed some of the food containers around and had a look on her face that could kill.
The whole place also seemed dirty. The food area was terrible and floors were sticky.

Another restaurant in the area that has pathetic service. Wait times are longer to be seated even when the restaurant is more than half empty. Took 15 mins for the server to attend to us and never bothered to check on us more than once. Felt the grill master didnt do a fair job by grilling the food for a fair amount of time. Dissatisfied on the whole. Sadly, this happens to be one of the few restaurants that offer a choice of a different cuisine in this area/​town.

We love going to Mongolian grills. It’s a lot of fun to choose exactly what you want and don’t want in your stir-​fry.
We took long-​lost family members to this location as a special dining experience for them. The décor is fun: the server was friendly and attentive. There was a steady stream of diners, but it wasn’t super-​busy, so waiting time at the grills was minimal.
The reason I took away one star was the pricing. It’s $ 8.99 for lunch, and $ 12.99 for dinner. We went at dinner time. The increased price would have been worth it if the promised enhanced food selection had actually been offered, but it wasn’t. The little cards telling us what was in each cold bin assured us that calamari and scallops were available. They were not. Instead, those bins held sliced sausage. So, we paid $ 4 extra for a tiny salad. I feel cheated.
Will we return? Yes. For lunch.

Have been to this restaurant twice now. Since I haven’t been to one at another location, I can’t compare the service, level of enthusiasm. I found the waitress to be very helpful explaining the routine and taking our orders for salads, soup, etc. they have little recipe cards on the table with suggestions for meat/​veggie combos as well as sauce recipes. You can take one or more of these up to the food line with you and follow one exactly or mix it up a little. You take a salad size bowl and go through the line for different kinds of proteins and vegetables. Then you go to the sauce bar where you add 4 ladles of sauce in the combo you want. Better to go light on the food the first time, then if you want to try another combo, you aren’t too full. You can go back as many times as you want, but can’t take leftovers home. We find it enjoyable as you can have as much variety as you want… something new each time you visit

These mongolian grill joints are always fun. You get to load up a bowl with all the meats, veggies and crazy sauces they have there and then watch them dump it onto this big round grill where a bunch of guys chop and stir fry it. Then give it back to you and you sow down. Don’t like what you made? It’s your fault so go make another bowl. Reasonably priced too even for groups and regardless of the place being full, it only takes minutes to move through the lines and get your noodles cooked up.

We were so excited that Hu Hot was coming to La Crosse because we really like the one in Rochester. This one is just not as good. The service is ok, not super good or very friendly. They also do not have the grill as hot and the food is not cooked enough. The last meal I had was so greasy because it did not get hot enough to sear it. Guess we will give them some time to improve and give them one more chance.

Best HuHot I’ve been to. They take great care with food allergy sufferers to make sure there is a super clean spot on the grill. Keep up the good work guys.

We have been to HuHot in Eau Claire and Rochester prior and it’s been a family favorite. Today’s visit was as part of the pre-​opening event in La Crosse. As such the setting was slightly different with far more staff and fewer patrons than normal. The staff was extremely friendly and attentive. The grill staff produced excellent stir fry without being over or under cooked. You could tell they were still a bit green (they don’t open for another two days after all) but they made the experience thoroughly enjoyable nonetheless. The grill staff at Huhots is typically very entertaining and you could tell tonight they were focused on getting the job done. All in all we had a great time & food was as good as it always has been. If you’ve not made the visit I highly suggest it.
