GK Mongolian BBQ — Restaurant in Sacramento

The spiritual successor to Great Wall BBQ, which used to be one of my favorite Mongolian BBQ places. Glad I decided to stop in.

They have a great selection of veggies and use a similar style of frozen meat slices that GW used too. Don’t knock it till you try it as it cooks deliciously on the big grill. Lots of veggie selections to add on and best is the selection of sauces.

If you’ve never been it may take you a try or two to get the right mix for your tastes. But they have really good options and the bowl I made was fantastic and reminded me of my favorites. I use about 8-10 scoops of sauce total, maybe 6 dark sauce scoops (your choice), a scoop of garlic, and 2 scoops of the cooking wine along with a half scoop of the cooking oil.

It makes for a darker but tasty sauce with enough that they don’t have to use water on the grill. That’s important as it will dilute your flavors if you don’t have enough liquid.

The meals come with a small bowl of soup, rice, and some sweet fried dough with sauce. I mention GW because this is pretty much exactly what they provided there too so I wonder if the owners have some past connection.

The price is very reasonable and it’s probably worth doing the all you can eat. Highly...

I'll start off by saying that the food bar was a filthy mess. Oil station was covered with spilled oil. Seasoning station was no better. The entire place was a mess. The sweetheart Waitree gained them a star. There were 3 groups of 4+ and she was the only person on the floor. She quickly brought rice and tortillas to the table along with bowls of some weird, tasteless soup. The soup wasn't bad but it wasn't good either. It just didn't have any taste to it and it was slimy. It ate 2 spoonful but my brother enjoyed it. My brother actually enjoyed everything. You create your own bowl of food so if it's not delicious then it's your own fault. You add your meat, veggies, spices, and flavored oil. My food was phenomenal. I enjoy onions, mushrooms, ribeye steak, green peppers, bean sprouts, garlic, black pepper, and MORE garlic with garlic flavored oil. The tender steak and veggie combination was superb. It's important to let them know if you're doing a "takeout". The takeout bowls are bigger. Pile your bowl high and dive in. Don't forget to tip the guy on the grill. He cooks your bowl...

Went here w/ family cuz the place that we normally go to closes at 8pm. My daughter says that the one in Roseville is good, and since this place stayed open late...we came here. Good thing I checked the reviews first...there was food all over the counters and floors, there was soup & rice at our table when we got back...but no water (I eventually got up after sitting at the table for about 15 minutes, to wait behind a couple who was getting their stuff to go for another 10 minutes before someone asking if i needed help). You do start out w/ a small bowl so u can't put all that much stuff in w/o something falling out (I did notice that after it's cooked they give it back to u in a larger bowl, so that made no sense to me but whatever). At least the bathroom was clean, however there was no soap. Next time I come back to town to visit, I won't be going...
