GK Mongolian BBQ — Restaurant in Modesto

I came to eat here yesterday (3/27/19) and even waited in the car 10 mins for them to open up at 11am because I have been here twice before and the noodles are really good. Where they are lacking is in customer service. I was in line to have my bowl of noodles cooked when I got some of the sauce on my hands so I went to the restroom to wash my hands as I go I do see a yellow cone (the ones they put up after they have cleaned the floor) it was not too near my path to the women’s walk way to the restroom so I kept walking with caution and even so I slipped, I tried to regain my footing but the liquid that was on the floor was not a water based liquid it was more oil based because I could not catch my footing and slipped and fell hard on my back and to top it off I hit the back of my heard on the corner of the wall behind me I got up carefully, no one saw me fall I continued to the restroom to clean up although I was already in pain, I came out to tell the lady at the front counter that there is a big spill and I had fell and hit my head, all she said “well isn’t there a sign” I said yes but the spill is big and super slippery I got no apology or anything she just went to tell the cook to clean it up, I don’t know why she couldn’t as she was not busy and he was cooking everyone’s meals. Then my friend went to the restroom I told him to be very careful as it is super slippery and he noticed and said yea this is oil while he was in the restroom a mom with 2 smaller children went to the restroom as I looked up I saw her little boy fall on the spill , the mom looked around and just picked him up. When my friend was coming out of the restroom he saw the boy had fell and then told the lady at the counter again that a kid had fell she just said “well I already told him (the cook), I don’t know”. A few minutes passed and a group of elderly women were coming in and it wasn’t until then did I see her and the cook go to clean up the mess. I just could not believe the sore lack of people skills (never received any concern or at least a sorry ) and lack of safety when there is a spill of any kind you clean it asap! Not wait around for someone that you told to clean it especially when multiple have already fallen due to it. Those caution cones are to be put out only when you had already cleaned something up and its still slightly wet NOT when there is just a big puddle of liquid just laying there that no one wants to clean! Today I am super sore and having back, neck and head pain. This was all preventable and plain ridiculous, I am just glad if anything that it happened to me and not one of those elderly ladies because it could have been much worse for them if this happen to...

GK Mongolian BBQ is a hidden gem that I recently stumbled upon, and it turned out to be quite the delightful dining experience. With a 4.1-star rating, it was a promising start, and it definitely lived up to the the variety and quality of ingredients available. The concept of building your own bowl is both fun and satisfying. You start by selecting your choice of fresh vegetables, meats, noodles, and sauces. The possibilities are endless, and you can customize your bowl to suit your taste perfectly.

Once you've created your masterpiece, the friendly staff takes over and cooks it on a grill right before your eyes. It's a unique and interactive experience that adds to the overall enjoyment of the meal. One important tip: remember to add some sauces and oil to your bowl to prevent it from sticking to the grill during cooking. It's a small detail, but it makes a big difference.

The appetizers at GK Mongolian BBQ may be simple, but they are certainly decent. They offer a nice prelude to the main event. The menu includes options like spring rolls and edamame, providing a variety of flavors to whet your appetite.

A word of advice for future diners: wearing non-slip shoes is a wise choice, as the restaurant can get quite busy, and the floors can get a bit slippery. Additionally, it's a good idea to use the restroom before you start your meal, as you'll want to make the most of the all-you-can-eat offer without any interruptions.

In summary, GK Mongolian BBQ offers a fantastic dining experience with a 4.1-star rating well-deserved. The all-you-can-eat option for just $16 is a steal, allowing you to create and savor your own personalized dishes. The interactive cooking process adds a fun element to the meal, and the appetizers provide a tasty start. Just remember to follow the tips for a smoother experience.

GK Mongolian is one of those places I really want to love, and when the food is done right, it’s excellent. The problem is the inconsistency. Sometimes the food tastes fresh and flavorful, and other times it feels rushed or off.

The staff experience is also hit and miss. Some employees are friendly and attentive, while others act like they don’t want to be there. There also seems to be a constant turnover of workers, which makes me wonder if it’s because of pay, management, or ownership.

I find myself always letting this place go for a few weeks, sometimes even months, before I give it another chance. It’s always hit and miss, but when they get it right, I really enjoy it.

I keep coming back because I do like the concept and the food when it’s prepared well, but I really wish the management would focus on consistency—both with the meals and with training and retaining good employees. This place has the potential to be great if they can get those issues...
