The Blazin Mongolian BBQ is located in a half deserted strip mall that surrounds the nearly deserted Metro Center Mall located in a busy area of Phoenix Arizona.
This is a very casual and not at all fancy………
heathy style Asian stir fry buffet. This isn’t fancy food but what I tried seemed heathy and tasty. It’s the type of place you go to when you want something better than fast food that’s fast. A healthy bowl packed with your choices of protein and vegetables , noodles that’s dressed in Asian flavors.
You have your choice of size bowl small or large or an all-you-can-eat option called the “Warrior” bowl. once you decide and pay you fill your bowl with your choice of meat…….
…………vegetables,
noodles and sauces with a suggested sauce menu.
Then the chef that operates the Mongolian grill cooks up your bowl for you.
They provide some extra add ons like a few extras like white and fried rice, soups, peanuts and fried noodles. Beverages and complimentary serve yourself ice cream are included.
My verdict is that both bowls came out tasty!
The vegetables came out tender crisp and not boiled like from some other Mongolian BBQs. But what really matters to me is that the food did actually taste good. I haven’t had the same experience at some of the other Mongolian Grills. I am not much of a meat eater and I must add the razor thin rolled meat takes up some room in your bowl and I wound up with a very small portion of meat that pretty much dissolved into the vegetables (I picked dark chicken). My husband’s choice of beef stayed more in the dish. If you are a bigger meat eater you might be most happy with the warrior bowl. So you can go back for more meat.
Besides a tasty meal were you can control the amount of starch and fat in your meal you can also do some interesting people watching here.
I noticed some people don’t pay for the “Warrior” (all-you-can-eat option) yet they fill their bowl to the sky and continue to add on soups, rice fried noodles and even the cut lemons. To take home.
No kidding I saw a different woman taking 5 or 6 bowls of fried noodles a bowl of lemons and more. Her bowl and her husband’s bowl were piled twice as high as the one in this photo. I also saw a man using a paper towel to squish the food flat to fit in as much as he could.
It IS The Forking Truth!
You might want to visit Blazin Mongolian BBQ to get a tasty inexpensive meal and to witness the actions of people. It was entertaining to me and would make for a good TV show.

In the end the food was tasty and what I thought was a good value.
The Forking Truth is that EVERY FORKING THING is subject to change and your experience may or may not differ.
