Khan's Grill — Restaurant in McAllen

Do not eat here. I worked here and it was absolutely terrible. The cups are filthy, do not drink from the plastic cups, I’d recommend eating and drinking with the foam cups and plates. The plates were always greasy, I always felt bad giving the customers extra plates because every time I picked up a new plate, it was was greasy, I almost never picked up a clean plate. The forks were also sometimes disgusting with food still being stuck on them (we waitresses would have to pick out the food from the forks before folding them into the napkins) I’d recommend using the chopsticks or the plastic silverware. The restaurant also had lots of flies and cockroaches that would sometimes get into the food, and a lot of the times the food was spoiled. The manager Frank was absolutely AWFUL to work with. For one, he did not care about cleanliness, every time I brought up a concern about how the cups were dirty, he did not do anything about it. He’d be extremely nice to the customers, engage in friendly conversation, but he was just terrible to his waitstaff. He LOVED to gossip and would gossip with his waitresses about other waitresses, causing a lot of drama. And then, would continue to say he wouldn’t tolerate any of it. Coming into work was always stressful, it would always depend on his mood if we were going to have a good shift or a bad shift. He also had favorites, and would schedule his waitresses based on who he favored more. And the cooks, although some were nice, some of them were very predatory towards the customers and waitstaff. The solution to some of the cooks being predatory was for the waitstaff to simply not talk to the cooks. I’d think twice about going to this restaurant, the food would sometimes be very good, but the cleanliness, the manager, and some of the cooks aren’t worth the money at all. It’s expensive and a disgusting...

A true RGV staple. If you’re a valley native and have never been to khans… get up right now and go.

If you’ve never been to khans here’s how it goes:

You walk in, a host greets you and explains that you will grab two bowls: a large bowl for your noodles and veggies, and a small bowl for your meats. You then go cafeteria style choosing your pasta, veggies, meats. All of these ingredients are raw. Then you go over to the spice bar, where you can season your bowls with all types of spices. After than you go over to the grill, in which your food will be cooked. You will choose what type of oil you want your food to be cooked in, along with the sauces you would like. The variety is amazing. You can add shrimp and egg too. Then you can order for there or to go; I always order to go because I never finish my plate (you will be seated either way so doesn’t matter). Then you will be given the choice of white or fried rice. Either is good.

The food is fresh, the cooks are so nice, the selection of ingredients is great! The sauces offer such a great variety of flavors. I love spicy so I go with Mongolian dragon and spicy dragon. I just love khans, need to get the shirt next time. It’s honestly such s reliable meal, like I never have had a bad...

I have been eating at Khan's for almost 20 years at least monthly. I have almost always had a good experience. There is rarely a wait. The food, service and atmosphere are all great.

When you arrive, you are greeted by a server within moments to find a table to your preference and take your drink order.

I like the fact that I can get a nutritionally well-rounded meal with fresh ingredients. The ingredients bar is kept clean with good variety of noodles, veggies and meats to choose from. The seasoning bar also has a good selection of flavor.

This most recent visit was great. The cook was upbeat and cooked it just right. I almost always get sesame oil and the "House" sauce extra spicy. This time was no exception.

Our server was very friendly and attentive. She kept our drinks full and always had a glowing smile. She kindly offered to-go drinks when we finished our meal.

My only disappointment was that the prices continue to slowly creep up. I know inflation plays a factor. Despite this, I believe we get our moneys worth. The plates are generous and will leave you feeling more than satisfied.

This was the emptiest I've ever seen Khan's during regular dinner hours, even for...
