only for the grill, never for the buffet.

Food is mediocre. Hu Hot (in Ankeny and Des Moines) has a far better quality Mongolian grill. Buffet food is also low quality here. Service is consistently poor. We began to suspect that the server was not returning our original drinking glasses to each of us, and was mixing them up between guests at our table. As an experiment, we marked our glasses discretely, and watched to see what would happen. It quickly became obvious that our server did not keep track of drinking glasses; there were three of us with Diet Coke -- our markings showed that two of us got each other‘s glasses, and one of us got a glass from a different table, with a used straw. Disgusting.

This place is bottom barrel buffet. Even the Mongolian grill portion leaves you wanting better quality ingrediants. Pluses: A lot of food for Cheap, Green Tea Ice Cream that you can sneak out for later, pretty good sushi bar. Negative: CRAP food quality, especially the "american" food choices, Sticky booths, messy mongolian buffet area, Horrible salad bar.

This place is amazing. Great price, very friendly staff. Its a buffet so sometimes you will have stuff that, well needs replaced, and other food that‘s fresh and great. Remember its a buffet. As for cross contamination of the other person comment on here? If your that worried bout it why you even go to a "BUFFET" every buffet has cross contamination. Hello???

Who hasn‘t taken ranch dressing then drop it in the french by mistake. As for the grill those guys are pro‘s. I know I‘d not be over that 2 ton solid iron 500 degree chunk of metal all day grilling. At least here you can see what they do. WHo knows what those other places due in the back with your food.

If you like seafood, you can def save money going here, on the right nights, weekends, they have it. Its great. Specially on crab legs.

Remember is a buffet, and it will be plus and minus. But all in all. This place is one we go to weekly.

Grill has good food. They could do a better job of keeping things clean. Buffet is like every other buffet. Some things are good if you find it fresh, some are not so good and usually because it‘s been sitting out for 20 or 30 minutes. All in all, a good value. Especially if you take advantage of their lunch special. Very friendly, efficient staff!
