Chang's Mongolian Grill | Folsom Central Shopping Center — Restaurant in Folsom

I've been to many Mongolian bbq places years ago so when I found Chang's nearby, I was super excited. Straight on the door, they showed you the All-You-Can-Eat price. I was a bit surprised as the price has increased in the past few months (looking from some previous pictures) but no problem as we were craving for dinner. When we entered, one of the staff noticed us. He pointed a booth for us and asked us to go straight to the buffet. They provided disposable gloves to keep the spoons clean.

They have thin sliced pork, beef, chicken, and lamb, as well as tofu for protein. They also have shrimp & squid (previously frozen) at the end of the line - after the sauce section. The vegetable looked fresh and there were lots to choose from.

I was super disappointed with the sauce. They were all watered down. For the first round, I put a ladleful of each sauce that I wanted but after it was cooked, the food was bland! So, for the second round, I put two ladlefuls of each sauce and still it was bland. For the third round, I basically doused my bowl with sauces and it finally tasted something. Also, the squid pieces that I picked wasn't cooked - was still raw & rubbery.

With AYCE, you'll get a big bowl of rice, soup, and crispy wonton chips. The soup was bland. The crispy wonton chips were good. Overall, it was too expensive for the price. The meat & veggie quality were good but the sauce was meh. It was a solid 3.5...

This is the best $13 buffet I have ever spent! I was doubtful at first, but it is perfect! You choose everything yourself and prepare it exactly how you like it. You get 4 choice of meat (chicken, beef, pork, and lamb), small shrimp and squid (at the end of the line); at least 20 choices of vegetables and fixing; 10 or more choices of sauces. Tips: don't go overboard and fill your bowl like a mountain! Just get enough (fill to the bowl rim is perfect), so that by the time you finish eating the bowl, the food would still be warm/hot; then go back for second or third. Also this give you a chance to try different meat or prepping to see how you like it. Turn out, I love lamb! They also have a really good crisp/fried (wonton chip?) and egg drop soup as a side waiting for you at the table. Desert is simple - fruit, jello, and soft serve ice ice cream. I don't need a 1000 item of food selection and over stuff myself just because I can, this small selection of Mongolian food is perfect! This is the best $13 I have every spent...

I drove 2 hours to go to this changs because I thought it was like the one in Portland Oregon. Boy was I wrong. This changs is nothing like the one in Oregon. Folsom changs is very disorganized and after you put the food in your bowl and they cook it, they take your plate away and make you stand somewhere else and then they take it in the back kitchen and then come out with a plate and I feel like that's very weird for them to do it like that when they could just start at the other end of the bar and go the other way towards the kitchen. But anyway, not only that, but they don't communicate very well with the customers at all barely speaking English and the lady first told us to get as much as we wanted and then said that she's going to charge for another bowl. Nonetheless, I hate this changs I will never go back and the food wasn't...
