yum
DESCRIPTION: I really enjoyed my first experience here. I was with a birthday party on a Saturday night. Eating here with larger groups is more fun that small groups. Let me also say that the grillers are hilarious- one of them pegged me with a nickname while I was waiting for my food! It was great- though if you are shy, the grillers might freak you out.

DESCRIPTION: BD's is great place. It may be noisy but thats part of the fun there as most of the noise is from the cooks who are alot of fun to watch.

Fun, delicious, and healthy
DESCRIPTION: For those new to the concept, at a Mongolian Barbecue the diner picks from a wide array of various raw meats, vegetables, sauces, and seasonings and then presents it to the cook who stir fries it over very high heat. (Changing plates to avoid cooked food contacting raw food.) The assortment of ingredients to choose from at bd's is amazing. Steak, pork, lamb, scallops, shrimp, chicken, tofu, and every vegetable under the sun. Sauces range from mild to mega-hot. The cooking process takes about 3 minutes. (Don't forget to tip the kid and insist that he bang the 'tip gong'.) The restaurant provides a list of recommended recipes or make it up as you go. There are literally millions of combinations you can create, so you won't get bored anytime soon. You can order either one plate or the all-you-can-eat option for just a little more. Either way, you will get out of there for under 10 bucks. It might be one method for getting a vegetable or two inside the kiddies.

This Place Rocks!!!!
DESCRIPTION: I moved to Michigan from Florida and they never had a place like this there!!! The atmosphere is very lively and everyone looks like they are having fun. The staff goes out of the way to help you and make you feel at home. The food is amazing and it is an experience to make your own dinner, watch them cook it before your very eyes.... Mix and match everything under the sun.....

So Yummy And Different
DESCRIPTION: I love this place because if you worry what is in your food, you no longer have to worry here. You pick all of the fixings for your bowl, down to seasonings and sauces. This place is great for something different!

Poor Service and the Food Was Burnt
DESCRIPTION: Eight of us visited your restaurant on Sunday. We were excited as the restaurant is new to our area. My to our dismay the service was poor. Our drink order was not at the table by the time our food was prepared -- about 20 minutes. The waitress' performance went downfill from there. In fact, a waiter and one of the managers ended up taking care of us for the rest of our meal. Several of us had our food burnt and other's meals contained burnt chips from the grill. What a disastrous evening. The concept is great and this type of restaurant could make a go of it in our area. If things don't improve very, very, very soon the company leaders had beter prepare for bankruptcy. Competition is tough in our area diners do not tolerate poor service and burnt food. I truly like mongolian barbeque but am uncertain if we will return. I have eaten mongolian in a number of Chinese restaurants and never had my food burnt. Likely the grill was not cleaned properly or the fire was too hot....

I enjoyed it.
DESCRIPTION: It is Valentine's Day. And my wife and I have not been to a Mongolian Barbeque in over a year. It was very enjoyable. Even though there was a long line we got in under the expected time. The food was on-par with our previous experiences. Our waitress kept the drinks (Coke) flowing. And, as usual, the cooks were funny, enthusiastic, friendly. I think every cook ended up asking how I was doing. What I love most about Mongolian Barbeque was that I get to create my own dinner. As far as ambiance goes, it is normal for a M.B. but it is definitly a little lively for a normal "sit-down" restaurant (you do have to get up to get your food picked out and cooked). I will definitely go back again.

Very POOR WAITER
DESCRIPTION: I was in the restaurant on Thursday May 8th around 2:30pm. We had nine women who just came from shopping at the Novi Expo Center. We visit this place every year. I will say I will never come back. I'm a District Manager in the retail world and really know customer service. Our waiter was very rude. My List of Complaints: 1. First said we all could not sit together, we moved the tables together ourself. 2. Never asked if the check was together or separate. 3. Had to ask for silverware 4. Forgot our lemon twice 5. When we asked for our bill and we told him we were all paying separate he said he will not get these ladies another damn thing. We sat right by the little room behind the bar that they go into to do our bills and I heard everything. I was also upset that he did not inform us that the tip was included in our bill and mine was folded so I could not see the tip. He also assumed that I was not to receive any change and was very rude when I asked for it. My tip on my bill was three dollars which was not the problem but my change was ten dollars and there was no way I would have left him ten dollars for the non service I received.

Delicious and great concept
DESCRIPTION: I thought it was an ingeneous concept. How can you possibly be picky about food that you get to create yourself? You even get to see the hot cooks as they cook it.

Not a smile in the place
DESCRIPTION: I was there on a Thursday evening, but where were the smiles and the cozy feeling of warmth? It wasn't there! The food was great, fresh and wonderful. I have been to many BD's in the Metro Detroit area, but I have never seen such unhappy people. Normally you would hear the grillers working with the crowd of people gettting them to laugh and such while the waitress/waiters had smiles and would make jokes. The Novi BD's didn't have none of that. I was going ask why is there not a place in Canton (Where Every restraunt is packed)I think that Canton would love to have a BD's there but please, if this happens.. don't send the workers form Novi.
