Mongolian Grill — Restaurant in Durango

4/25: Not the best Chinese restaurant within 150 miles of the four corners IMO, but certainly in the top three. 4/2021 : Quite possibly the best Chinese restaurant within 150 miles of the four corners. They have access to the proper spices and aren't afraid to use them. No mush filled frozen food service egg rolls here. They roll their own - never frozen. Best General Tso Chicken I've had since travelling outside the area pre-virus.

Update 12/2021: now definitely the best Chinese in the four corners. I've tried them all and while most of the others have gone downhill since the virus this place continues to excel. A pleasure to be able to write a favorable review for a change. These folks have the correct spices and they are not afraid to use them. The food actually tastes pretty much as one experienced with Chinese restaurants outside this farkakta culinary wasteland they call the four corners would expect. Arrived at high noon on a weekday. Place was packed but was able to get a seat in under 5 minutes. First class kung bao chicken. Generous portion from the lunch menu with drink for about $13. They have an all you can eat mongolian buffet cooked in sight. Have not tried it, but looks and smells good. Men's rest room looked as if it had just...

Sooooo, I need to start by saying--- if you order the grill part of this buffet, it will absolutely serve you to read the description on how to prepare the sauces for this all you can eat buffet. Although it "appears" about 9 sauces are prepared, this is not the case-- you must read the 5 parts mixology to include the ladle of wine, ladle of oils/fats that will compliment a mild, sweet or heat sauce. If you only do the "teriyaki sauce" for beef, it will burn off without the other components that help attach to the food. That being said, I found the food not tasty because I did not know this going into this restaurant. Additionally the grill master uses two long wooden tongs to flip various meats at various stages of cooking so I'm not incredibly sure about cooking length for each protein being flipped around. My partner and I both had bathroom breaks within 45 minutes of eating there and I did eat pork and beef while my partner stuck strictly to a vegetarian plate of products. Service was fast, feeding 4 adults and 4 children was about $110 so not unreasonable in price. We also ordered egg rolls and orange chicken for the kiddos and kept the young ones away...

Came in when it was packed. Didn't feel like waiting at some random seating area near the kitchen for an available table so I took the only one available that no one wanted to sit at by the front door. Was tolerable until one too many people kept going in and out of the restaurant and that got annoying so we just scarfed our appetizers and had the rest of our food to go. I was hoping to eat in peace but there is no peace here, too much commotion. Got an upset tummy 45 minutes after we left when we got home. It wasn't any cleaner nor better than subway next door. I asked for kids drinks and was given regular sized drinks in which they charged me $4 per drink totalling $20 for 4 drinks alone with not one refill - ridiculous! The plaza is filthy! There is no concern for their customers or respect enough to apologize for the over crowdedness and especially not being checked on. They could've at least offered hot tea on the house!! Don't waste your money here you all!!!! Go somewhere else where they cook and serve with love!!!! Never again will I come back here!!!! Rude...
