HuHot Mongolian Grill

Pretty good Chinese. Guarantee you won’t leave hungry. All you can eat and fun to watch them fry it all up. They have some really great sauces to pick from. You scoop up the stuff you want fried up yourself. I like the hot sauce especially. They also have liquor so you can have a cocktail too.

First time being at a HuHot. It was alright in terms of food and the all-​you-​can-​eat is nice. The frozen meats/​seafood/​fish were subpar. Noodles were good. Veggies were also alright, but the assortment was a bit random. I liked the multitude of sauce options that they provided and the ability to choose-​your-​own and create. Staff was nice and prompt, but I can’t get over how subpar the food is for the price. At $ 14 a person before tax+tip, I felt that it was nothing special. Also, the same grill-​top is used for everyone, so it may not be ideal for vegetarians and people with certain food allergies. They are alright but nothing spectacular.

2stars. This is not a reflection on the waiters, or the ambiance. This is purely on the fact that the food is not very good. Frozen meat, random assortments of veggies and condiments. Greasy stirfry is the best description. If you’ve been starved for days then go for it, you will definitely get your moneys worth with the all you can eat. If you are a starved picky eater you can choose what you want and have a blast. But it’s all soooo plain and slathered in oil that half a plate is enough for me to drop my fork.

Terrible customer service!!! Didn’t even stay to eat here!!! The wait staff was oblivious & unkind!

Really loved it. Please open a location in the Twin Cities! It is a very clean place and lots of good sauces and recipes.

We loved it! They ask you right up front if you have any allergies to food. Our son does have food dye allergies. The waitress took him to the buffet and showed him and me what he could and couldn’t have. She gave him special bowls so the cooks would know to keep his food separate on the big grill. When he went back for seconds there had probably been 100 people go since us, and the cook remembered him and kept his food separate again. Excellent service and food. We will definitely be back. It was highly recommended from the locals also. Try it. You’ll love it.

1. Heaven for a person with allergy
2. Vegetarians do not have to starve here, they have opportunity to explore all different options.
3. A picky person like me who tends to control every single ingredient that goes in my food.
4. Kids who love to have their way to put food on their plate and then belly. What parent doesn’t like their kid to eat a lot, at a fixed price.
5. A person who likes beef, chicken or sea food. All inclusive — at a fixed price.
6. Three different kinds of noodles.
7. Ethnic taste with different level of spiciness. You choose, how spicy or mild, zesty or not, food you want.
8. Servers are really friendly and supportive of the choice you make. If you don’t like the food you just made yourself, you’re welcome to send it back and get another plate.
9. You get to see the people who’re cooking for you. They’re so happy and full of energy. I sometimes enjoy more of the process of adding ingredients in my food and seeing it getting cooked, more than I even enjoy my food.
10. Dessert. 90% of time, I am stuffed with food so I don’t have anymore space for dessert, but whenever I have had dessert here, I loved it.
11. If you go for dinner, you get free soup (2 or 3 choices) and salad (2 or 3 choices) with your main course. If you go for lunch, then soup and salad is not free.

So we didn’t know what to expect. As soon as we found out it was «all you can eat» we knew we had made a mistake. The place was packed. You grab a bowl and line up, pick your noodle, protein, veggies, sauce. Then you line up and wait for a bunch of people to cook it on a giant round flat top grill. It was interesting to see the cooks could keep it up with what belonged to who. But… it’s kind of gross to watch too. You would have to see it. We each had one plate… all we wanted to eat and got a big ol’ «all you can eat» check.
Being «all you can eat», the quality was not great. Being buffet style and all cooked on one surface, it didn’t feel clean. If someone has food allergies, NOT the place to eat!
I can see why some people like it. But it was too chaotic and not tasty enough for us.

Truly a place where everyone in the family can get what they want. We eat here every chance we can.

Love Hu Hot! On my top 3 places in Rochester that I choose to eat at! The food is always fantastic, the service is great, price is right for the amount of food you get, clean facility. No complaints!

We always enjoy hu hot for lunch when their prices are reasonable. Dinner buffet gets a little spendy and lunch is better price but not cheap. Food is great, or as good as you make it with sauces.

It’s fine for what it is, most of the ingredients are frozen prior to serving and even after cooking, they have a funny taste from being frozen. If that doesn’t bother you then give it a try. It is all you can eat and there is a guide to help you with sauces so you don’t overexperiment and make something that tastes bad. My major complaint is that the plates are too hot to hold when they hand them to you. Not bad, not great, you’re paying for the experience which is pretty fun.

Lots of ingredient and sauce choices, the green curry they recently added is a really nice addition. Very nice for being able to customize your own meal and easy to please a group by going since everyone can pick out something they like.

We love this place! We’ve been here many many times, and will go back many more to come!
We go here a lot after my son’s sporting events with the family. Everyone can find something they like with all the different options of meats, noodles, veggies, & sauces. You get rice and/​or tortillas with your meal, we usually do both. At dinner the grill meals come with your choice of soup or salad (lunch time you pay extra for this option). They have recipe cards on the table you can follow, sauce recipes on the sign over the sauce station, or you can create your own combination! You can make your meal healthy by staying away from the «oil» sauces and loading up on veggies.
How does it work? It is served buffet style. You grab your bowl (s) and load it up with meat, noodles & veggies and move onto the sauce sation. The sauce station has a big selection of all different types of sauces, and they are all labeled with burn ratings so you can make your meal as mild or as spicy as you can handle. Once you finish your sauce you then proceed to the grill line (this line gets pretty long during peak dining hours — but they tend to move people through pretty quickly). After your meal is cooked, you can garnish it with a few select toppings (wasabi, peanuts, coconut flakes, sunflower seeds, etc), and take it back to your table to pair it with your rice/​tortilla and ENJOY! go back as many times as your belly can handle trying new combinations or sticking with your tried and true!
The service has always been good as well! Friendly staff. Drinks are refilled in a timely manner, and the servers always ask about food allergies, appetizers & desserts. For the most part they are on top off keeping the buffet options well stocked (I’ve only been there once where this was lacking out of the many times we’ve been here). They are also very careful when it comes to food allergies.
Why not 5 stars? the layout between the sauce station and the grill line is too crowded. They need to space it out a little bit more and have a better space to transition from sauce to grill. It would also be nice if they could make some sort of label for the sauces to denote which ones are gluten free, as my mom and sister both have gluten allergies (they do have this on their website and on the recipe cards, but it would be nice to see it at the station especially with their seasonal sauces that change).

My son and I went to this restaurant due to his swim team dinner after a State meet. Because the restaurant was in the mall, I was not expecting too much out of it and thought it would like an over priced Chinese-​Americana-​Mongonian fusion affair.
Furthermore I thought it would not be very kids friendly kind of a place especially we had the swim team with us (a party of 22). Needless to say I was pleasantly surprised how well it received by everyone as well as my picky Asian taste buds.
There were plenty of choices as well as different spices/​sauces to satisfy everyone including ‘non-​human’ teenagers.
I was especially/​pleasantly surprised my son loved the Mongolian General Tso’s fish combination… No, I cannot make that up.
My dish — green fish curry with hot chili sauce and coconut flakes and crush peanuts… YUM!
Here is cool thing — you can go up there as many times you want and try different dishes and spices/​sauces.
Yes, fish curry is an actual dish in my culture. But that is usually a soup style, not Mongolian style. Needless to say I think I have found my new favorite restaurant. Unfortunately, it is about 2 – 3 hours from my house… Maybe that is a good thing because I would be big as a house.

I had no idea this place existed until last summer, but I’m glad we have been formally introduced! I’ve been to hibachi places before and have always enjoyed watching my food prepared in front of me. It doesn’t hurt that its all you can eat either! I’m not a very picky eater, but when you can make your own dish its helpful if you are someone that is. I like to channel my inner Bobby Flay when I am picking out different flavor combinations. If you are a fan of Asian cuisine you almost can’t go wrong eating here!

What is this? Poop?
You know how poop smells, right? Well, imagine that smell but as a taste. That’s kind of what eating here is like.
It doesn’t seem to matter how many ladles of sauce you use because when they’re done cooking it, it still comes out a sticky pile of shit.
And all the food they use is essentially the same quality as what you get from Subway, except you’re paying twice as much for it.
Don’t bother. Just stick with your favorite Chinese restaurant.

Okay so I’m not really drawn to ANY restaurant with the name Mongolian in the title — I’m not sure if the word just is too close to Mongrel and Mongoloid for me but all of them sound derogatory and just don’t appeal to me – similar to the word moist – but I better stick on track here. I went here a couple times and I am most unimpressed by the frozen shaved meat. You walk thru and get what you want similar to big bowl however it just seems like there are a ton of kids hanging out breathing all over the food and the meat if frozen and shaved not fresh — I don’t like that…

As Mongolian grills go, HuHot is small but mighty. There’s just the right amount of selection for sauces, meat, veggies and noodles. The best part was at the end of the meal you don’t smell like BBQ grill smoke! Amazing!
We came for dinner. For the price of $ 12.99, including a salad/​soup to start, you really can’t go wrong. The Asian salad was especially appetizing. It included a dressing, veggies, toasted noodles and canned mandarin oranges. The toasted noodles is genius, since it substitutes for croutons perfectly.
For first timers overwhelmed by the choice, I highly recommend following a few of their suggested recipes. The recipe contest is really quite smart, because it makes sure people experiment and come back often.
Pro tip: Don’t pile on ingredients in the order they’ve set out. Choose the meats you want, add ¾ of the sauces, select the veggies/​noodles, then add the remaining ¼ sauces. This way the meat marinades while you decide whether adding pineapples will wreck your recipe and becomes tastier.
I also love the Bangkok Curry sauce in combination with their pad thai noodles, which are pre-​soaked and come out delicious. One of the grill chefs also put together sausage and eggs, which I thought was a neat spin on breakfast items.
I would have really given a 4.5 star, but unfortunately the sauces don’t come out as savoury as I’ve experienced at other Mongolian grill places. The spicy sauces are especially watered down. The meat is also not as tender and occasionally the cut is quite thick. Come here if you are starving and want your money’s worth!

Man I miss HuHot!
I really wish there was one in the Denver Metro area.
This location is right inside Apache Mall just waiting to serve you lunch or dinner.
I used to go there for lunch at least 3 times/​month.
Healthy food and loads of it!
Mongolian BBQ with a large selection of meats, pastas and veggies.
The Sauces are the real key to your HuHot experience– assemble your meal with a pre-​planned recipe or go with a more free-​form attack (that’s how I like to roll!!) Then its off to the circular gill which always seems to frighten children and strike awe into the hungry who look on and drool in expectation.
Now looking over their website I see that there is a Colorado Springs location!?!
Whoa– well I’ll definitely have to get a group together the next time I’m down there to visit my family.
