The skewers are amazing! They are already seasoned but they also give you a different seasoning on a small plate. The sides are also great. I don't have a picture but the green beans are really good and I recommend. The standout of this restaurant is that you can cook the skewers yourself at the table. The machine rotates it back and forth so you don't have to babysit them and they cook evenly Pricing is also highly reasonable. They're 17.smth for 10 skewers, so it comes out to about $1.50 probably the biggest deal in the area Underrated edison W protect family owned places from gentrification
Was seated right away. Ordered some skewers, to me everything was spicy except for the vegetable dish we ordered which was the best tasting in my opinion, Lol. The meat they give you on the skewers is so tiny and i think there prices also went up. If you never had Mongolian bbq, you can try it out. Don't think I'll be back. The cool thing is you do not need to turn the meat once it's on the grill, it turns itself which is pretty cool. They use coal not gas. Also it's BYOB, parking lot is shared with another business.
Definitely the best skewer place you'll find around central Jersey! Unexpectedly, the sweet and sour pork is definitely the star dish in the restaurant, especially if you are a fan of crispy batter and just the right bite of pork~ It's a very clean set up in the restaurant and the skewers are definitely well seasoned. I don't always get the lamb in case the meat is gamey, but these lamb skewers were delicious.
I first heard about this restaurant as a suggestion when discussing what to eat. We went as neither of us ever tried Mongolian BBQ before so the attention was grabbed by that. The food was just okay. None of it was bad, but not much has me mouth watering for more. We got a mix of beef, lamb, and chicken skewers. My favorite was definitely the beef as it was well seasoned and cooked well on the rolling conveyor belt they had set up. I might just not be a BBQ fan as I just got tired of eating the meats. You should also order rice or some other entree to eat with your skewered meat. I would say the service was very comforting. I went on a not so busy day, where no one else was in the restaurant. It was just the cook who I didn't see and the old lady waiting on the tables. Very kind and not invasive with asking if you need anything. It's hard to rate a restaurant like this because I wasn't crazy about eating here but also the people running it are good people. I say consider it, maybe you'll like it more than I did. If I was to describe this to anyone, the word pleasant comes to mind.
Food still taste great after coming back here. I loved the way you cook over the charcoal style. I loved the selection of different t skewers. The place is like a hole in wall. Not too busy. Not crowded at all.
