Gobi Mongolian Grill

This was our first time visiting. We had a decent experience. As first time diners, we were sure what to expect. We were seated and offered rice, either white or fried. After taking it drink order, or server said to help ourselves to the buffet. We walked over to the buffet. At first, for being a Mongolian Grill, I was disappointed by the selection. My wife and I choose a couple things and returned to our seats. I went back to to get something from the buffet and noticed another room... That's where the Mongolian veggies, meats, and grill are! I was pleasantly surprised. The gentleman cooking the food was really nice and helpful. So, if you go, know there's another section for the Mongolian Grill! Being a fairly new restaurant, it works be nice if the staff asks if this is your first time, and explains the setup. Regardless, now you know! The food is on par with other Mongolian Grills we've been to. I enjoyed my meal. The staff is friendly and very attentive. I don't think they have menu items, I believe it's all buffet.

My first, and favorite Mongolian grill experience was almost 50 years ago. They have been few and far between since. This came close. Meat and veggie options were excellent. Only one type of noodle. White and fried rice were available. Hot and cold (appetizer and dessert) bar was a pleasant addition. My major concern is that all 3 of my dishes were fairly bland. The sauces offered were the basics....garlic, wine, ginger, oyster, hot oil, and their own Mongolian sauce. They seemed to compliment the meat more than the seafood. I don't know what else should be included, maybe just a display of recommended combos. That said, the dishes were perfectly cooked, not raw, not overdone. Just make sure to add plenty of sauce, whatever combo you use. Only other complaints, minor as they are...... back row of sauces are difficult to reach; no chinese mustard to add to the duck sauce for the egg rolls.

Visited north Raleigh recently and stopped here for all-one-can-eat "drum-fried" food and was pleasantly surprised! For a reasonable price, one can get an incredible variety of fresh veggies, meats and pre-made but hot wontons, egg rolls and other dishes that are very tasty! I recommend the place! The service was excellent and responsive, the place clean and nice and it was fun to watch the cooks preparing the meals on the drum with sticks. Check out the photos!

My friends brought me here, they love Mongolian style food and now I do too! The grill buffet was great, fill your bowl with meat and veggies and they'll take it and fry it on a large flat top with giant chopsticks lol. Great value for the money. I gave 4 stars because someone didn't put enough degreaser in the mop water so the floors throughout the restaurant were a little slippery, I had to keep an eye on the kids for falls and spills. Its a very nice casual place, we weren't the only family there. Enjoy.

Great new restaurant that is a great value for delicious food. The service was friendly and attentive. The food had a great variety and tasted really good. The self-self ice cream was a nice surprise. Many flavors to choose from. The restaurant was clean and well decorated. We will be back.
