"We were a party of 5 (reservation was for 6, but one person dropped out last minute). Our waiter promptly came to the table and took our drink and food orders. The kids got their drinks within moments, but from then on the service was substandard waited nearly 20 minutes for our adult beverages to be served by someone from the bar. By then the kids had finished their drinks,so we asked the bar man for another round of drinks for them only to be told I 'm not your waiter. We explained to the bar man that our waiter was AWOL, pointing to him in the back by the kitchen. The bar man sauntered off toward the bar. What was especially interesting was that our waiter did not appear to have any other tables, and as mentioned could be seen hovering in the back by the kitchen. After a while he graced us with his presence. We then got our appetizers. Shortly after finishing our appetizers our main course was served. Oddly, our waiter didn 't bother to clear away any of the empty plates/bowls from the appetizers...simply left them on the table. After the main course was served we did not see hide or hair of our waiter for quite some time. After awhile he once again graced us with his presence, and we asked for the check. Oddly, I held out my hand for the check when he came back with it. The waiter muttered 'thank you ' and placed the check on the table just out of my reach. All of this was quite surprising to the wife and me as we 've frequently visited this establishment (service is normally attentive, friendly and proactive). Then all became quite clear to us. As our reservation was for 6 people, we were considered a large party. A 20% gratuity is automatically applied to the check. One can only assume that the assurance of the 20% tip impacted the waiter 's attentiveness, We will not be coming back, whether as a party of 5, 6, or just 2. Suggestion to the owners of this establishment: While some large parties may not always tip appropriately, you should reconsider the automatic gratuity as it clearly impacts the attentiveness of a waiter who knows they 've nothing to lose whether they provide good service or not. In this instance, the service was abysmal to put it politely."

"I hadn 't had build your own Mongolian BBQ in years, so we decided on this place for lunch. They have SO many options, from their bases, proteins, produce, to their seasonings, sauces, sizes! I opted for the rice noodles for my base, while my husband picked udon noodles. He got the medium was able to pick two bases, though they forgot to add the rice he requested. Then they handed us our bowls off we went to start deciding which veggies sauces we wanted. I got the small size, which of course came with a significantly smaller bowl. It made it a little harder to put everything I wanted in, so I had to leave quite a few things off. We both picked tofu vegan chicken for our protein, then picked similar produce, including: bell peppers, jalapeños, cabbage, spinach, mushrooms, onion, water chestnuts, baby corn, snap peas, kimchi, roasted red peppers, green onions, cilantro! Then came the messy part: the sauces! They have a wide variety of sauces to choose from, you can add as many as you 'd like to the sauce cups that you bring to the grill with you. I went for the teriyaki, sesame, 3G sauce, Dragon Sauce, chili sauce. My husband picked similar sauces, added in the roasted garlic oil. Once our bowls were full, we went to the grill, handed the chef our tickets, along with our bowls sauces, took a seat back at our table. Our food was cooked quickly, a kind server brought everything back to us. Because the toppings bowls were a bit small, a lot of it had cooked down by the time we got it. I think their pre-made options are much bigger regardless of the size you order, so that was a little disappointing. But the food was delicious, nice hot, really hit the spot!"
