New Mongolian BBQ

All-you-can-eat Mongolian BBQ on Castro Street where you build your own stir-fry bowl from meats, vegetables, and house sauces, finished off with soft-serve ice cream.

New Mongolian BBQ makes choosing the ingredients part of the meal at its Castro Street restaurant in Mountain View. Diners assemble a bowl from sliced meats, vegetables, noodles, and sauces before it is cooked on a large grill. We like that hands-on format because each person can create a different combination at the same table. Beef, lamb, chicken, and pork offer several protein choices, with vegetables such as broccoli, bean sprouts, mushrooms, onions, and cabbage bringing texture and variety. Tofu adds another option, while the sauce selection lets a bowl lean toward garlic, chili, or a simpler savory combination. Rice, egg rolls, and soft-serve ice cream round out the all-you-can-eat experience. The appeal is an informal, customizable meal where trying a new combination is built into the format.
