Jochi Mongolian Grill — Restaurant in Moreno Valley

Food not good, staff hygiene questionable.

As I'm building-my-own bowl, I get to the ingredients. The meet looks like most Mongolian BBQ places (frozen chicken, beef and pork). The veggies were ok looking, except for the white onions (which were greenish) and the carrots (which were dried out, brown, wrinkly and had liquid and brown stuff sitting in the bottom of the tray). When I ask if they could bring fresh carrots, the girl brought out the container from the back and was about to just fill up the container that was already there. I pointed out that the carrots in there were bad; she then took out that tray and brought a new clean tray and began to fill up l. Those carrots were almost as dried out and wrinkly. While cooking my bowl, the guy ask if I wanted to add anything. I wanted pineapple, but the tray was empty, so he went to the back to get more, leaving the other 3 peoples food cooking before mine to sit on the hot grill for ever a minute without stirring. He came out and said someone else is bringing out the pineapple. The woman (owner or manager) comes out without gloves and touches the old tray as she sets in the new tray with her bare hands.

My food was burnt and barely edible.

• DON'T EAT...

Would not recommend this place. Although the food was ok. The service from the cashier was lackluster and non enthusiastic. Since I have had this for over 30 plus years coming from Japan and Korea it's sort of didn't have any flavor to it it would have needed to be extra extra flavor added to it to get any taste from it the bowl was small and I don't think it was worth the amount of money that we had to pay for it. It made me feel as though they were lack of a better word crunching the numbers to make sure they could turn a profit more than trying to...

Very disappointed, first time trying this place, as I watch the gentleman cook he did not use any of liquids sitting right behind him. The water would have spread out the flavors of the sauce they make, but he never did that. Added the noodles. Again no extra sauce, 2 teriyaki bottles right next the grill that is suppose to be used whole cooking and he just did a tiny spray at the end. This will not be a grill I'll be going to again...
