“ Love this place. They have an extremely affordable and broad buffet available. Something for everyone. Service was very nice and helpful. ”

“ Was there late afternoon, so not all food tray were stocked. But still had a good variety to select from.. The hibachi/Mongolian BBQ, very good! ”

“ This place... oh my goodness, this place. The GEM of the Illinois Valley. I could sing praises to Mongolian Grill from the rooftops, and I would if I had access to a roof. Let me state that I have been eating here since they opened, around 2013-2014 perhaps. Everything has stayed consistent, including the pricing, and that's been impressive. When you walk in, you have the option of ordering from the menu or doing the buffet and let me tell you- get the buffet. If you can cook at all, you will enjoy yourself here. You'll get your soft drink, then it's off you go to build your masterpiece. Five separate buffets with two side stations, there's a lot to process. There's two small stations, one for fried rice and one for ice cream. There's a cold bar in the back which features some salad items and desserts, and one buffet table full of ready to eat apps and foods with some soups offered. I did giggle that the one says "eggg dorp soup". It's what you'd expect at any Chinese buffet. Then we get to the good stuff- the hibachi stuff. You have three bars for hibachi: your noodles and veggies, your meats, and your sauce ingredients. You get a bowl and load it up with your choice of noodles and veggies, there are so many options. Tofu, egg, zucchini, baby corns, broccoli, water chestnuts, sprouts... I can't get enough color! Then you move over to the meat buffet, where you select your raw cuts and place the pieces in your bowl. I typically do the beef and shrimp, always good quality. You'll bring your bowl to the hibachi grill and set it on the counter so they can start cooking it. You'll go make your sauce at this point, which is where it could get overwhelming if you don't know flavors well. There are probably 20 sauces to mix and about 25 seasonings and the likes to add flavor, so there's a lot of room for creation with your sauce! You'll bring it up to the hibachi again when you're done, and they'll plate your order and bring it to you if needed. For $10.99 a person, what a stellar deal. So much fresh produce and variety from a family owned business, it's a staple in the Illinois Valley. Although I've moved to another state at this point, this is the one restaurant I haven't seen done this well and one I miss whole heartedly. I visited the IV from Florida recently and ensured I ate there several times because I just can't get enough of the great service and incredible food. If you haven't eaten here yet, you're missing out. Stop by today and build yourself the meal you deserve. ”

“ A small, unassuming spot that has both premade Buffet items and raw ingredients for a chef to stir fry in front of you. Been coming here my whole life. They also have many takeout options. Cashew chicken is my favorite! ”

“ I think they have a little work to do on the atmosphere, but that does not stop this place from being one of my favorite restaurants. The waitstaff is attentive to our drinks every time we go and the food is excellent if you know what you like. That being said, sometimes the buffet of food that is ready doesn't really look fresh, but you don't go there for the buffet, you're there for the grill! ”

“ Clean space, friendly staff, and delicious food. Great options for all diets. Loved the awesome make your own sauce station, we just wished we could have brought larger stomachs! ”

“ Pretty standard buffet and Mongolian grill type joint... sometimes it's better than others- overall- eat here frequently. ”

“ We were out and about late at night (well, early by our standards, but this area is hard to find an open restaurant after 9!). We needed a restaurant that would have vegetarian and vegan-friendly options. So we called Chan's Garden, and it turns out it is the same place as Genghis Khan Mongolian Grill. They said we could order off the menu, but the buffet would be closed. So we rushed on over. When we arrived, the buffet was still open. The woman told us they had kept it open since she thought we'd be coming. She and the two chefs were absolutely delightful. They were so polite and helpful. The grill chef came out and explained his favorite sauces. There were multiple kinds of tofu! Lots of vegetables! It was really friendly and delicious. Plus, the check surprised us by how cheap it was. Massive amounts of food and a drink, and it was about $20 for two. If we are ever back in the area, we will come here. Thanks (xie xie!) for a great meal with such nice people. As a vegan, I expect a lot of boring pasta and french fries when I travel, so this was a treat to have loads of vegetables and tofu in a great garlic and ginger sauce. ”

“ I have been to this place so many times the food is amazing. The staff is friendly and their prices are very reasonable. I recommend going here when you're hungry ”
