HuHot Mongolian Grill

Hu hot is a different but enjoyable restaurant. The price is decent for a never ending meal. the service is decent. The concept is great! Fill a bowl with noodles, veggies, and differemt sauces and bring it to the wok cooking circle where the cooks make your stir fry fresh while you wait. The recipe board suggest what sauces to use to achieve desired ethnic dishes. While we were dining, a family with nut allergies was there; which i would assume would be a disaster for them. The cooks took time to section off a part of the grill for the family, scrubbed the grill clean and rinsed it well and emaured they could enjoy a safe meal. Kudos to Hu Hot for teaching the team how to handle everyones like and need. As far as the food goes, you design your own diah, so how it taste is really up to you.
We will return next time we are in Tulsa.

My two year old son and i like to try new restaurants when we are out and about. I have always wanted to try huhot, but was always hesistant. Ive never had this type of food before. When we walked in it was slightly overwelming at first because i just didnt know what what would taste good with what, so i made myself a HORRIBLE tasting dish, lol, however the nice grill cooks and our server helped me out with suggestions for my next plate, which was terrific. There is a wide variety of fresh foods there. My two year old loves the calamari, it was perfectly tender and tasty, and if a two year old likes that kinda food they gotta be doing something right! As for the service, i wish i could remember our waitress’s name, but sadly i dont, all i can say is she is the best server i have ever came in contact with. I was a server, so i can be a bit picky, but she went above and beyond expectation. She was so AMAZING with my son and very patient, warm, and inviting. Just the service alone would make me go back, the food (if i can get my perfect combination right) is excellent as well. Huhot is a little on the pricey side, but worth every penny. Thank you so much for a great dining experience!

Visited this location for the first time yesterday with a co-​worker for lunch. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. The food was fresh and delicious. Will be adding this to my list of places to frequent.

HuHot is fantastic, this location is clean and well staffed. Food was fresh and cooked perfectly.

Pros: my kids and husband love this place. This is their go to place for holidays and birthdays. I give them a star for husband pleasing and a star for kid pleasing. An additional star for my in laws. Both my mother and father in law eat here every time they come into town. My brother in law also loves this place. «If it doesn’t taste good, you only have yourself to blame.» Referring to the fact that you pick your own ingredients and sauces.
Cons: I don’t like this place, my brother in law’s girlfriend doesn’t like it, and my other brother in law doesn’t like it either. If I’m forced to eat at a Mongolian BBQ place, I’d rather go to ghengis. My husband doesn’t like ghengis and neither do the kids. Either place, the food is empty calories; not tasty nor satisfying. In fact I have begun refusing to eat here. At first, they would all have family dinners without me. These days, they just wait till I go out of town.

Staff was excellent, but the food was pretty terrible. All the meat was frozen and came from poor cuts. The veggies were browning and wilted. The soups were also just not tasty and very strange. It certainly could’ve been worse, but it was a major disappointment for the price — even if it’s bottomless.

This is a good Mongolian BBQ place. They make it right, and their prices are good. They do a much better job than Genghis Grill.

I am glad I found HUHot as I can eat there Gluten Free and not get sick. Before they cook my food on the large round grill they use plates to section off my food. They scrub the grill, use water to wash the area off and cook the food within the sectioned off area. An allergy menu is available and there are lots of offerings on the buffet bar and several sauces you can add to your food choices. The service is good and the prices seem fair.

So very yummy. I enjoy going here for lunch when I’m on break from work or eating with friends there. I like all the food choices they have. A great buffet. Even when they are pretty busy it doesn’t take long to get through the line and get your food.
Very good!

The Hu Hot here in Tulsa is unfortunately not as good as its competitor, Genghis Grill. The unlimited bowl is the best feature of this restaurant. If you’re really hungry, Hu Hot gets an edge. Unfortunately, the kudos stop there. The selection of meats, vegetables, and sauces is very good. However, the meat was quite dry and appeared to have been frozen for too long.
The team on the flat-​top did a great job, and were entertaining in their presentation and process.
The wait staff was not as attentive as one would expect or desire. It appears that the policy is not to provide sweetener to patrons that order iced tea unless it is specifically requested. When we did ask for it, the waiter said «sure» and brought it approximately 10 minutes later. We were already half-​way through our meal by that time. Very disappointing.
The perception appears to be that all you can eat offsets the need to take great care of the patrons. Everything about this restaurant would have been better if the wait staff had been more customer service focused.

Yesterday when dining at HuHot in Tulsa, we had a pretty crappy experience.
There appeared to be no hostess to seat anyone and we had to wait for a waitress to see us and seat us.
After getting to our table, we made our way to the bowls to start building our plates. Once we got there, it was pretty bare. There was no chicken, beef or pork in the chilled protein section. And if that wasn’t bad enough, several of the veggies were also barren.
It took about 10 minutes for anyone to bring any ingredients out to the bar for the large line of folks who were waiting.
Once we were able to sit down, we were informed that there was no rice available either.
Our server Amy was very apologetic but you could see that she was overwhelmed. It appeared that there wasn’t sufficient staff present during that lunch hour.

Came here to eat the buffet was empty and what was there looked like a tornado blew through. Just a huge mess. Also you used to offer fried rice what happend?

Service is extremely slow. The grill cooks over cook everything and overly consumed with flipping and spinning their spatulas. It’s more annoying then impressive. If they paid more attention to the cooking and not trying to show off for what ever reason the food might come out better.

Had lunch here for the first time. This will be a review of comparisons. I have eaten at the other new Mongolian place in town a few times. Similar concepts but a few key differences.
The places was clean, nice looking, semi standard looking restaurant with a grill operated by one or two cooks. Grab a bowl and go down the line. Meats, noodles, veggies, sauces, cook.
The meats looked great, several options to choose from and the bar area was kept clean. Noodles were good as well. Veggies. Not so much. The bell peppers that I got has spots and visible blemishes on them, and these are already sliced. The bok choy was mostly stems. The tofu had a couple of good pieces in it, the rest looked like someone mashed it with a whisk. It looked like cottage cheese. I looked for raw eggs so I could have one cooked into my dish. No such luck.
Went on to the sauces, they had plenty to choose from so that was good. Gave my selections to the cook who prepared them with a little flair. You have to wait for the food to be done vs them bringing it to you. No biggie as long as you don’t mind standing and or feeling guilty about not tipping the cook.
Sat down at the table. Silverware was put at the corner (there were 4 of us). We had 4 forks and 2 napkins. Ok… Waitress came by halfway through the meal with refills. That was nice.
You can go back and get seconds without having to pay a premium. It’s included. I didn’t need seconds. We asked for to-​go cups for our drinks. They didn’t have any. Booooooo.
I’ll chalk this one as a bad visit. I will give them a second shot. I doubt there will be raw eggs, but we will see if others things are improved.

The quality of the food is not amazing and service is mediocre, but for $ 13 you get unlimited bowls and a decent selection of veggies and sauces.
Couple of complaints:
Meat selection is severely lacking… the quality of the meat is pretty subpar in comparison to places like Genghis Grill and if you want anything besides beef/​chicken/​pork/​sausage/​crab, you are out of luck. Don’t expect to find much seafood here.
Service was also mediocre. Despite the place being nearly empty during dinner time, our waitress was nowhere to be found during most of our dinner, rarely coming by to check in our meal or refill or water. To pay the bill, we had to ask one of the busboys to go fetch her from her hiding place in the kitchen.
On a different note, I do appreciate being able to get unlimited bowls for $ 13. No longer do you have to stack a single bowl of veggies and meats sky-​high to get your money’s worth. The selection of sauces is quite extensive and there are enough basic sauces to help you construct a bowl the distinctive flavor you want.
TL;DR — quality is meh, variety is meh, service is meh, but quantity is good for price point.

«Deception on every level”-another patron I was with
Everything was great sans our waitress.
Good food, nice wait staff that wasn’t assigned to us that picked up the slack for our waitress who doesn’t know how to listen or help the table. Slow. Overcharged. It was a shame.
Our waitress was a deceptacon.

This could have been one of the meanest reviews I’ve ever written, but then a manager did their job and kept me just satisfied enough not to passionately hate this place. More on that after I just give you the general overview.
I’ve had HuHot five times (always at this location). Nothing special about the food: it’s Genghis Grill with unlimited refills. The guys working the grills and refilling the food are nice and polite. However, the food just isn’t that great. If you want to really fill up on low-​grade protein, then knock yourself out. Don’t go with the hottest spicy; I’m not sure what makes it spicy, but it’s hot in a chemical way. Overall, there was never anything that special about the food. I’m not sure why I continued to go.
So one of my final visits to HuHot would be to sample their Valentine’s deal: two can dine and have a bottle of wine. When I showed up– with a guy– and inquired about the deal… we were practically asked to leave. The manager on duty gave the most furious look and indicated that we were just trying to take advantage of the business and a good deal meant for couples. We weren’t trying to do anything like that. After being told «no» to that, we waited to hear any other options, but the hosts just kind of turned away.
I wrote an e-​mail and a higher manager responded with a sincere apology. I was mailed a gift-​card that was later taken by a French police officer in Paris. But, I have never had the will to go back to this place, even if it was paid for. And that’s a pretty bad sign.

I have no complaints regarding the buffet grill. Sure it can get a bit messy, but that’s just how it is. Try not to look at the floor near the or think to hard about where all the sludge they have scraped off the grill goes. Really it all tastes good, because you got to select what you want in it and what it should taste like.
What’s not so good? The salads seem sad. The Hot and Sour soup is pretty disgusting. The egg drop soup is watery. For the life of me I don’t know why anyone would order an appetizer or a dessert.
Waiters are nice, but seem superfluous.

If you’ve been to Genghis Grill then I doubt you’ll like HuHot. The style is the same, but the taste and quality of the food is not. I do give them points for having friendly service, but it just doesn’t cut it if the food isn’t good.
I liked that we had a choice of soup or salad with our meal, but the hot and sour soup I had was over seasoned with pepper that I couldn’t stop choking with each sip. I love hot and sour soup and just wanted to taste the flavor, but it was spicy to the point of being unedible/​drinkable.
I’m not sure what’s different about the sauces between Genghis and HuHot, but there is definitely a difference between the taste. My food was dried out and I used 5 ladles of sauce. At Genghis, you only need 1 small cup of sauce and that ties in your whole meal.
We didn’t know that it was all you can eat, but even when we found out, we really didn’t want a second round. I would recommend going to Genghis if you’re looking to eat this type of food. Much better quality for the price.

Just a mediocre restaurant.
It’s a good value if you’re wanting a lot of food and better quality than most buffet-​style restaurants, and you want to stay in South Tulsa.
Here raw meats, veggies, rice/​noodles and sauces are chosen and placed in a bowl then cooked on a large Mongolian style grill while you wait for it to be cooked.
I’ve been to other Mongolian style chain restaurants in town that offer a better selection of meats, veggies, sauces and also spices where a number is given and they bring you the bowl once finished. If I’m wanting this style fare I will drive a little and go to a Genghis Grill.
