Ding How Mongolian Bbq

Just your average Mongolian BBQ/Chinese buffet place. The Mongolian, with a good variety of vegetable choices along with the proteins, was better than the Chinese buffet, which was a bit limited and somehow had food that wasn't very warm despite a seemingly robust set of steam tables. They could manage space a little better, too; it's sort of off-putting to find the cart full of dirty dishes right inside the front door and in the middle of the path from the Mongolian and Chinese buffets to the soft-serve machine (which is itself at the entrance to the hallway leading to the restrooms). Not bad, not great - perfectly fine spot to grab a quick meal with little hassle.

I moved to the lower 48 five years ago. Since then I have been on a mission to find a good Mongolian barbecue/Chinese buffet. I have come to conclusion that ding how Mongolian BBQ is literally the best Mongolian barbecue in the country. All others I found have been horrible quality and have pailed in comparison.

We came in with a large number of people (so the wait in line and the need to ask for a meat refill are understandable), but: the stirfry bowls were sticky/dirty, the food tasted pretty good like a decent Asian take-out food. The steamed rice, BBQ pork ribs, and Mongolian beef were pretty big highlights. Unfortunately, the area we were sitting in had peeling wallpaper, water stains, and a slight mold smell which detracted the food experience somewhat... Oh and the ice cream machine was either empty or very watered down...
