I enjoy the process of picking out my food and spices before I see them cook it up for me. I also make sure to throw a buck or two in the bucket at the end and ring the gong to get a charge out of the cooks.

I don't eat at this place too often, but when I do, it is usually enjoyable. I like to eat here because its fast, you get to create your own "dish" and they have good prices. Perfect place to come when you are hungry now and short on time. I suggest going in between 12-3:30pm that is when their "lunch"... More

Consistent meals. Once you've been a few times, the method of cooking/novelty wears off. Good to be able to select the ingredients so this establishments remains on my list.

I'd rank this as a must visit when in St. Cloud. Fun place, the cooks make it exciting with the chants, flipping bowls, and engaging the customer. Concept is simple, fill the bowl with what you want and make sure you add plenty of sauce as it could get dry if you don't have enough, hand the bowl to the... More

Mongo's is the ideal place to eat if you are a hearty or a picky eater! You choose what ingredients, spices, and seasonings you add to your own personal stir fry. There are a minimum of 10 kinds of meat, over 30 types of vegetables, and 10+ seasonings and sauces. You then get to add rice, noodles, and even a... More

I'm surprised to see this ranked #2 in St. Cloud. Well it is oftentimes crowded, so I guess there are a lot of fans. The concept is cool, but I'm not a big fan of "Troughs" (open buffet-type dining). I guess the idea of germy unwashed hands & sneezing people touching all the food before me kinda kills my appetite.... More

Good place for a "select what you want" type of meal. The satff appeared a little bored and wasted a lot of food while I was there, dropping raw eggs and bowls of rice on the floor. I get it that they are trying to impress customers but to waste food is a sacrilege when there are millions who are... More

This was good food and a fun place to eat. You get a lot of food for your money with many choices to put into your bowl. They add sides as many as you want. The employees were upbeat and happy. Other customers were enjoying their meal. If you like these grills, this is a good one.

When we first went to Mongo's as a family we were a bit sceptical because my sister has a tree nut allergy, and we were worried about cross-contamination. All we had to do wastell our server about the allergy and she went through and got new oils, veggies, meats, and noodles, to make sure there was no cross-contamination. They even... More

This restaurant has many vegetable, meat, pasta choices that u put in a bowl, then go to the stir fry grill. The sauces are the most important: I use one ladle sesame oil, one garlic sauce, one Kung pow for heat, three ladles of sweet chili, one sweet and sour. Loved my stir fry and had them cook an egg...
