I'm moved to write about this place because, despite it being nowhere near gourmet food, it's still a great place for an easy meal with friends. Good place for an office party because the wide permutation of food is sure to please everyone from vegetarians to piscavores.What sets it apart is that the staff are fantastic.

I'm moved to write about this place because, despite it being nowhere near gourmet food, it's still a great place for an easy meal with friends. Good place for an office party because the wide permutation of food is sure to please everyone from vegetarians to piscavores.
What sets it apart is that the staff are fantastic. They smile, they look like they enjoy what they do, they make eye contact with customers and service is swift and efficient. Emptied plates are cleared in a flash.
So for those who don't know what a Mongolian bbq is, you grab a tray with a bowl and a sauce bowl and work your way down the line, adding whatever you fancy to your dish. First up is the rice and noodles, then a selection of vegetables, bamboo shoots, mushrooms, and on to the proteins, with tofu for the vegetarians. The sauce station takes up about a third of the whole buffet. I recommend the Mongolian sauce which is rich, deep and mysterious. Spices and other aromatics complete a gastronomic journey of the silk road.
If I were to make any suggestions it would be to have fresh mushrooms and pineapple rather than out of the can.
In the Nomads in Ulaan Baatar, the chefs are performers, with sword like knives they use to flip the food. Space does not permit this in the Hong Kong version of the restaurant, but the design of the place is very well thought out.
