Genghis Mongolian Grill & Sushi is in a location that if you are not looking for it, you may not know its there. The grill is very compact, but comfortable enough. However, because of the uniqueness of its "self-service," and standing in line to choose the contents of your bowl, it is not your typical restaurant.

Approximately 50 different items, including multiple types of meat. Then they had a good 10 or 15 sauces and other toppings. I'm honestly not a big fan of Chinese like food or hibachi style food, but this was well done.
