Khan's Mongolian Grill — Restaurant in Alexandria

I thought this was going to be more like other Mongolian restaurants we've been to. It's definitely not. I can't believe the health department has not shut them down. The raw proteins (steak, shrimp, chicken, fish, imitation crab, etc) are all under the same hot lights & right beside the vegetables, seasonings and sauces. No ice to keep them at a safe temperature. There's no way the other food is not cross contaminated from the raw proteins the containers and tongs are directly beside everything else. I held my hand above the proteins and felt the heat from the lights above. The only source of cooling for the raw meat is the ambient temperature of the restaurant. It was also above average temperature Gross!

When I saw the buffet I wanted to leave. I stayed because my daughter was excited to try this place while we were traveling through the area and I didn't want to disappoint her. The food was not good. It tasted like microwaved leftovers. Mushy shrimp and limp veggies do not taste great after being overcooked.

I spent most of the time there worrying about food poisoning and cross contamination. I'm not germaphobe but this is over the top risky. It was overpriced for what it was. My daughter didn't enjoy the food either. We ate a couple of bites and left. They offered us boxes for our food but we didn't want to eat anything else there. Hopefully we will not get sick and regret coming here more than...

Been a few times. Last time went on a Sunday for dinner (5pm), was the only guest for the majority of the visit.

This is a fix-your-own-stirfry kind of place. You are given a paper with noodle & rice options. Mark which you want, put your name & table number. Then you take your given bowl to a buffet-type bar with raw options (chicken, beef, pork, shrimp, fish, egg, onions, baby corn, garlic, mushrooms, and tons more plus multiple sauce options (teriyaki,sweet & sour, honey, etc). You fill your bowl with what you want, they take that bowl & sauced and cook it for you and bring it to your table.

Location: off the highway, found by gps. Small private parking lot.

Atmosphere: needs an update. It looks old on the outside & inside and it makes you question the cleanliness. It was also kinda warm inside, which is partly due to the large open cook table. The atmosphere was the biggest downer of the whole experience.

Service: friendly and attentive.

Food: once you get it brought to your table, the portion is pretty big. Portion also depends on how much you fill your bowl. The flavors are good. I really like known exactly what I'm eating and at this place you do.

Overall, the style of food & flavors are good but this place needs major updating. It's just not inviting from the...

If you're tired of eating fast food and you want to try something fresh and authentic, Khan's is a great option.

When you arrive at Khan's, you'll be given a marker and an order list. Write your name at the top of the list and decide what you want to include in your buffet order, like fried rice or noodles. Then, an employee will give you a bowl and tray.

Next, you can choose the food you want from the buffet bar. They have different types of meat, such as pork, shrimp, chicken, and beef. They also have a variety of vegetables like broccoli, carrots, and peas. Once you have selected your food, the chefs in the kitchen will cook it for you right away after you place your tray on the service counter.

When the chefs finish cooking your food, a waitress will either call you to the register to pay or bring your food to your table. Enjoy your...
