MP Mongolian BBQ — Restaurant in Menlo Park

This was my first time here, and it was JUST what I needed after only snacking all day! Got there close to closing & it was STILL pretty well packed. This little tucked-away gem sits in a parking lot not visible from the street, between BIG 5 & BevMo. The place is well-lit, very clean, with the freshest of ingredients greeting you at the door. If you eat in you can go back as many times as you want and use as many balls as you want to put your ingredients in and then have them cook it for you. Healthy food at its finest and you decide what goes in it! Then there's a little sidebar with egg rolls, fried wontons, some fried rice and little dessert pastries that reminded me of hush puppies. (I gather those were to go with the ice cream that they have for afterwards.) alongside that sits your hot and sour soup and your white steamed rice and pots for your serving pleasure. The people are wonderful that work there very attentive and have water sitting on the table that you'll be sitting at as soon as you walk through the door. it's very clean and the service is wonderful and the food is delicious! I couldn't ask for a better experience! You really...

This is a carbon copy of the Mongolian bbq at Castro in Mountain View (which is cheaper than this place). There are four options of meats: lamb, chicken, beef and pork. All meats are frozen and somehow they all taste the same.

There is a good amount of options for extras: pineapple, mushroom, spinach, etc. All extras are relatively cheap and don’t really justify the $25 a person. Service was good, so was the ambiance.

Right after eating I got mad diarrhea for hours. And the interesting thing is that I don’t think I was the only one. Everyone in my party got it as well and I noticed many other people who were there going to the restroom and staying in there a long time. So while I can’t speak to other patrons, my suspicion is that they faced the same issue. I don’t like shitting on small businesses, however this one made me shit explosively. Hence I think it’s important for anyone coming in to...

This spot is still 5 stars for food for me But the service is why it's 2 stars for me Had a misunderstanding today about the portions( 2trips 2 bowls each time ) I was still use to all you can eat I didn't bother reading the papers on the walls and cooking area and that's my fault . But still the servers still should of gave us a heads up before starting our meal, we could of over loaded on the 2 bowls each like everyone else Instead she took the rude approach and just blamed me and falsely accused my daughter for making 3 trips . So 2 stars from me on this trip I actually should go lower but for history coming here with the other sister on cashier I will not go to 1 star she knew how to tell the rules but still with respect And now that I know the policy I will Obey from now on . But rude server/cashier and cook for falsely...
