Starving student? Or are you simply looking for a good cheap bite to eat? This bare, Mongolian BBQ hole-in-the wall may suit your needs. It’s half self-serve, which makes this place somewhat buffet style. Rather than all-you–can-eat, Mongols is “all-you-can stuff-into-your bowl.” Pay $6-8 and fill your dish with all the frozen sliced meats (chicken, lamb, beef, pork), uncooked veggies, noodles, and Mongolian spices/sauces your tummy can handle. If you’re like me and always try to get the most for your money, you’ll enjoy the challenge of piling as much into the bowl as possible (you only get one shot at the bar).The chef will take your bowl and cook its contents in front of you on a large round heated iron surface. After using super long chopsticks to rotate your food around the grill, the cook stuffs your food back into a bowl for you to enjoy.
