So I am meeting a friend and her aunt and uncle for dinner here. When I walk in the door I am greeted by a very sweet young lady with a big smile. Her name is, Krystiana and I tell her that I have three other people coming to meet me but I need a favor from her. She says no problem how can I help you? I told her I am going to pay the bill right now and when my guests arrive I want her to ask if we have a AAA card and tell them that the meal is free with AAA discount. She says "I'm on it no problem" I go back out to my vehicle because I had got there early, well as I am on my phone not paying attention the three of them roll in and I get a phone call asking where am I? So of course I'm nervous that she has already asked them the question and my great joke will be compromised. Well I was absolutely dead wrong, as I walked in the door Uncle Dave he was going to pull one over and pay for the meal. She asked what we would like and we tell her for large bowls. She says no problem, then asked if we by chance were AAA customers? I said yes I am, as they all looked at each other I began to thumb through my phone and read off my account number and tell her my name that is associated with it. She then tap the computer screen just like we had rehearsed prior and says oh I have you right here sir, as Uncle Dave is standing there with his card she says it looks like your AAA discount you have for free meals tonight! At that point they all look at me as I am saying how great that is. Instantly they knew it was a ruse 😂 this young lady couldn't have pulled off a better job and helping me and they all talked about how great she did and even tap the computer screen they were shocked! We all laughed and said thank you to her so much especially me! Here's where it gets even better, her manager, Ben stopped by the table and asked how things were going and we told him the story. He said how great that was and he appreciates her extra effort, we all agreed. He then said if we were on Google or Yelp he would love a review and of course I already was ahead of them on that. The part that makes that so great is most managers don't even recognize employees that go above and beyond let alone ask for the customer to let other people know how great the service was. There is an old saying that says, "attitude reflects leadership" that could not be more true than in this instance! I absolutely love it when everyone understands the assignment, that extends to the customer and everyone else involved! Thank you folks for a...

The Food: So glad to see that COVID didn’t wipe out all of these “stack it high and stir fry” spots. YC’s Mongolian Grill is a classic-pay your set fee, fill your bowl with all your faves, and you’ve got enough food for days. We went for the large bowls this time and still had leftovers for two lunches. That’s a solid ROI in my book.

They didn’t have any fish proteins (bummer), but they’ve added protein noodles, which were a nice surprise. The sauce bar is still a choose-your-own-adventure, and pro tip: if you’re stacking your bowl like a Jenga tower, double up your sauce recipe to make sure every bite gets the flavor love it deserves.

The Experience: Service was smooth, and the restaurant was clean and organized. Everything ran like a well-oiled wok station. You get rice, soup, chips, and a drink included, and while the ice cream used to be part of the package, it seems that’s extra now. No big deal, but worth noting if you’re bringing kids or have a sweet tooth.

Pro Tip: Grab extra wax paper at the start so you can SMASH your ingredients down and fit in every last veggie, noodle, and bite of deliciousness. It’s an art form. And don’t forget to grab your fortune cookie on the way out. They’re near the door before you leave, and it’s the perfect way to wrap up your stir-fry session with a little wisdom (or a laugh).

Final Word: Affordable, nostalgic, and consistently solid. YC’s is proof that some classics stand the test of time.
