After putting the meat and vegetables into the bowl as much as possible, the noodles and the salty sauce taste good. I also like that the employees seem to have fun working.

One thing I appreciate is the ability to create my own meal according to my preferences.The sauce at Genghis Khan Mongolian BBQ is undeniably tasty. When I request extra sauce, the servers are usually accommodating and provide a decent portion. It adds a flavorful touch to the meal.Whenever I have a craving for comfort food, it is a reliable option. Its a staple in the mall food court scene, and it does a decent job of satisfying those cravings.If youre in need of a customizable meal in a casual setting, Genghis Khan Mongolian BBQ might just fit the bill.

Be prepared to wait, but it is worth it. Food was delicious and I love being able to customize my bowl. Sad I wasn’t able to try the sides as they sold out but overall really happy with my experience.

Genius Khan has always been one of my favorite Mongolian places, I hardly ever get disappointed when I come to any of their locations. I came to la brea mall location, all employees were extremely polite and fast, generous with noodles. Food was cooked well it was my first time getting the bowl along with rice and the soup actually shocked me it was not bad at all.

I really like the food here, just one detail: there was a girl at the register with such long nails that when she gave me my drink and I was closing it, she stuck one of her nails inside. She was talking to the other girl who didnt pay attention to her nails were swimming in my drink its disgusting that they allow them to work with their nails like that when its a food place and its unhygienic.

My favorite go to. Use to be. They will occasionally rotate sides. They added these dry red chillis. Everyone started coughing and almost choking because of the aroma. It also affected a few guests at the food court. I like spice but the way they pre-add the spice is plenty. I couldn’t even eat my noodles because of how they cook and mix everyone else’s noodles for those people that wanted a few red chilis in their noodles, no way! Will call the manager to have this fixed. These chiles should be hidden and asked for upon request. I tossed my noodles. I was so sad.

I just love how you can get your own mountain of food. Decent selection of thinly sliced frozen meat, good onions and broccoli. I would have liked my food spicier. It would be nice if they had their own blend of spicy sauce but I know its just a food court and I shouldnt expect it to be perfect. $10 for a big box of food, enough to share with a friend. The noodles are bland, but theyre just cheap wholesale noodles. Good deal for the price.

If you know about this spot then you know that if you are coming here you pack your plate full of stuff so that you end up being the one so stuffed that you go into a pleasant food coma once ya get home highly recommended if youre looking for that meal to satisfy!

Been coming here for a long time and never had any issues. I like to come during the week rather weekends because its just quieter, I dont have to worry about parking in the structure and there are plenty of tables inside the food court.ProsI share one bowl with my wifeVery tastyFair priceGood portions and the cooks give you extra noodlesNot that big of a wait during week nights and plenty of tablesRequest sriracha when you orderConsLong wait times during the weekends

This place serves bolws of food that include chicken, beef, turkey and pork. You can choose all or just one of each meats. Then you can choose to have vegetables like onions green onions broccoli carrots. But the best part is the thick noodles that come with the bowl.

The cooks were talking and laughing loud I asked and said I have a question and one of them went ugh. I was waiting 5 minutes watching them talk. They grabbed my plate with an attitude and swung it dropping the noodles on my hand and all over the tray . The guy on the line who didn’t do anything wrong apologized for those cooks and added more noodles while I had to clean my own try having to dump it in the trash over the counter.

The staff here not only mislead my mother and father in law but also mistreated them by saying it was ok to put their broccoli on the side instead of on top of the bowl that was already overflowing. The staff then refused to add the broccoli into the already cooking food. Yes I understand if it was on the side on a napkin then it cannot be added however, the staff ignored their requests and shooed them off until their broccoli-less food was done cooking. If you would like to talk to rude staff and feel mistreated and ignored then come here and throw your money at them. We will not be eating here again 👎🏼

Rude staff. Food is flavorless and gross. Found a hair in my food. A lot of the meat was brown. The food had a funky smell.

The last time I went to this place, the line was super long. There must have been 40 of us standing in line, which tells you something about how good it is. Was I annoyed at the wait? Yeah. Did I wait because its my favorite place to eat in the mall? Yep! So thats my one issue. They should put two grills in and hire twice as many people. I was behind this family last time, two parents and four teenagers. While they were grilling my bowl of goodness, the mother said to me, You did it exactly right! Mostly vegetables. My dumb kids wont eat anything green! But thats the beauty of Gengis Khan. You get to pick EXACTLY what you want in the precise amounts you want. I get a little meat and as much broccoli as I can pack into my heaping bowl, plus they dont mind if I ask for three spoons of garlic and no spicy sauce. If youre a teenager who wants only chicken and hot sauce and noodles, thats what you get. God bless freedom and God bless Gengis Khan. 5/5 stars.

Good for a quick bite at the mall. The meat is frozen, all the other ingredients seem pretty good. Interesting to watch 3 chefs all use the round grill at the same time - cooking in rotation. Make sure to pack in the meat!

It was tasty, but I made the mistake of too many noodles. You have to park in a structure, so be ready for a good walk.

If Im ever in need of food while at the Brea Mall I typically find myself grabbing some Mongolian BBQ. Its good! Yes it is pricey, but its definitely something you can share among two people. The prices have increased over the past couple of year. I believe just for the bowl, not the combo, its about $10. You fill up your bowl with either raw beef, chicken, pork, or turkey. Then you move on to the veggies which include onions, green peppers, zucchinis, mushrooms, baby corn, and a couple of other options. The last station is the sauce station. Luckily, they already choose the sauces for you, but they do ask if you want garlic and/or any spice on your food. The lines can get pretty long, so just be prepared to wait. Yes, the cooks TYPICALLY give you more noodles if you tip them. The food is good compared to other Mongolian BBQ locations. The downside is they do typically stare while youre preparing your bowl. I guess they dont want you pressing on your food with a napkin. Youll notice a couple of people doing this just to add extra food to their bowl. Smart, but prepare yourself for a nasty glare from the cashier.

The place is always busy.. it tastes fine.. but I prefer smaller noodles. Just not my style.. I also like a cleaner cooking area.

Review №25

This is a good value. Enough food to share. Here is some advise. When loading your meat, use the bottom of your friends bowl to crunch it down tight. I think the chicken is the best, and the turkey is meh.

Been coming here for about 2 years now. Everything was really good until about 2 -3 months it started to be hit or miss with this place. The problem is they seem to have stopped cleaning the grill as often and now its a 50/50 chance that your food tastes burnt or charred. If the charred taste would permanently be eradicated then Id give it 5 stars. (If you see a thick ring of charred crap along the edge of the grill you may want to avoid it that day.)

Nice people, good food. I got a bowl and chose my meats and vegetables and then they add noodles like other places. It ends up being A Lot of food.

Just when you think that nothing is going right....You meet an Angel.I live in Downey and have never been to this establishment. However, un be known to me, this is my Nephews favorite place to eat. He is currently in Choc Hospital, undergoing cancer treatment. Due to his illness and the medication being administered, he has lost a lot of weight. After undergoing a stem cell treatment, his Mother, had been trying, without success, to get him to eat something. He refused all food. Later in the afternoon, I called to get an update on Bronson, and his Mother informed me that the only food that sounded good to him, was a Bowl from this particular restaurant. She could not leave him, and I asked her, if I called, perhaps the restaurant would deliver the food. Sharon Lee answered my call, and when I explained to her why I wanted this food delivered, she not only refused to accept my payment for the order, but volunteered to have one of her employees deliver the food to the hospital. Ms. Lee will never know how much her unexpected kindness to strangers, meant to us.

Super bomb food. Went to go visit the mall and stopped by the food court to grab a bite. Ive been to the other Gengis Khans at Lakewood and Cerritos but this was equally good. Highly recommend stopping by if at the mall.

The beef was okay but the chicken needed to be more toasty .It was probably because they were behind and had to serve as quick as possible. Just hoped to taste it when it could have been more on the grill.

The food is frrsh and good. The process of preparing yur bowl with only the items you like then watching them add noodles and turn it into a wonderful meal...nothing close to compare. And so very reasonable for what you get!!!
