HuHot Mongolian Grill

We were seated right away when we arrived. We had a party of 4. One of our party is gluten-free. She received her special bowl. We all went up to the buffet to fill our bowls. Almost everything was empty. I ended up with a couple pieces of crab, an egg, a little bit of vegetables and nothing else. The sauce pans were empty as well. When I got to the grill I had to tell the cook that everything was empty in the buffet. And part of my family were still waiting for food because of being gluten-free. We ate what we were able to get and went up a 2nd time and still the same scenario. No food. Very very poor selection. We went home hungry.

I enjoyed it there. I don't know if it's my particular food choices but I did spend some time in my bathroom later. It tasted good going in. This is not a place to go for people with gluten allergies, though. They cook everything on the same grill so there's sure to be a little bit of gluten contamination. My friend had bad gut pain from it. It's a bit like cafeteria style buffet. I appreciate that they provide gloves for handling the tongs at the food stations, and they had a few spots for hand sanitizer. But it is a buffet, and the customers get close to the precooked food and often touch the tongs without gloves--you don't know if they wash their hands after they use the bathroom, touching doorhandles, picking their nose, licking their fingers after their first round of the buffet, coughing into their hands. Or children coughing by food stations and don't cover their mouths near the food. So if you are concerned about germs, this may not be the place for you, not in a buffet setting.
