Different and Interesting

The concept of filling a bowl with all the food you would wish in a meal, then adding sauces of choice, and having it weighed for the final tally was new to us. The food itself we selected from a quite large variety on offer, beef and chicken and pork, shrimp, scallops, and the veggies, from cherry tomatoes to broccoli,... more

Mongolie Grill = a different experience

Looking for something interesting and different from the many eateries in this area we came upon the Mongolie which is uptown on Granviille, and which serves it's meals...by weight!!!
Not as puzzling as it sounds, one selects all things one wishes to go into a sort of stir-fry including veggies, sauces and meats (fish, shrimp etc and/or beer, pork and... more

Very delicious

The Mongolie Grill is a VERY fun spot to eat! You are given a bowl that you are allowed to fill with whatever you want to eat in a stir fry....many different meats, seafood, veggies, nuts, spices, sauces. Once you finish choosing what delicious items you want you give to the Mongolie chef and he cooks it on a flat... more

lovely lunch in Halifax

While visiting in Halifax last weekend I had the opportunity to revisit an old favourite of ours! And it didn't let us down! The food is just as good as I remember.The sevice was very friendly and the friend I was with...says it could be her new fav!

Okay meal for an okay price

It's a pretty good place to eat. You choose from various ingredients to include in your stir fry. Keep in mind it is done by weight so lighter things are obviously a good choice. Shrimp is a good choice. One reason why people don't like this place due to the blandness is because they do not put the right or... more

paying was a nightmare

Fried rice, vegetables, and meat(all mixed together, not tasty at all), then 80 box gone(for 2 people), not worth that much money!!! I would rather spend my money in Chives!!!! so regret....won't go there anymore.

A hiddeng gem

Whenever my family likes to get together downtown for a good meal we usually include this place on our list of choices. Like the idea of picking out your own meal. Food is very good and it's very clean and you don't need reservations.

Great Place for a Meal With Friends

My friends and I would often come here for dinner before we headed out to the club during our time at university (recent grad). The restaurant is quite large and can easily accommodate large groups. We always chose the make your own stir-fry option. Some would say that it is a little pricey, which it can be depending on how... more

Another good visit

I love this built it yourself stir fry joint but they really need to get more friendlier and on the ball servers. Entered without a greeting and stood there quite a bit before being acknowledged. The server wasn't overly friendly or knowledgeable and the cooks were complaining about their coworkers. Good food but be careful you don't fill your bowl... more

Next time I'll ask for 2 bowls

I love this place as I love stir fry! You can put whatever you like and as much as you like! It's a large place and perfect for parties. Service is... Not the greatest. Atmosphere... Too large to decorate. But the food is amazing! Have you had fried dumplings here? Gotta try!

Best Scallops

I ate at the mongoliegrill after a long day travelling, by far the best scallops I ate on my whole ten day trip.

would not go back

Picked this restaurant for its location, as we were staying at the Radisson and it was just around the corner. The idea was different, you pick out the food you want in your stir fry and they weigh in and then cook it for you . . but it did not work for us. While my husband managed to throw... more

Excellent

I have been to Mongolie Grill in Downtown halifax with my family. It was wonderful. We all really enjoyed everything they had to offer and it was great

Stumbled On This Place Downtown

Myself and a couple friends stumbled on this place at night. Atmosphere was quite nice, the restaurant is quite large. I was a little surprised that the place was pretty much empty though. I think there were 2 or 3 other people in the whole restaurant. Service was standard, we decided to do the make-your-own stir fry. The portions were... more

Disappointing

I have been to the MOngolie Grill in Ottawa and the food and service is so much better.
Service was slow, despite a sign saying please wait to be seated, waitress told us to seat ourselves. (to busy folding napkins)...........food was just Okay but not good............disappointing.
I find it is so much better in Ottawa and certainly better service. I... more

Not the best location but still good

I have been to a few different Mongolie Grill locations and this is probably at the bottom of the list, but still a good place. I find the service bad here, the waiters are never overly friendly and it takes forever to get drinks even when they are slow. The food of course, is wonderful though. Desserts are also good... more

Unfortunately Second Rate

I have lunched here three times over last two years. At best I can say average. You go in and choose the items. The "chef's" fry/cook it up for you and boom... lunch. The problems are: the vegetables are not that fresh, the sauces are generic and they overcook everything (in fear of e-coli I believe... been sick after eating... more

Awesome Place

After hearing how great this place was from a co-worker I decided to check it out on a trip to the city. I loved the decor of the place for starters. They were really patient explaining to us new comers how it worked. I loved that I could pick as much as I wanted of a certain vegetable and loved... more

awesome

great time all around, great food and service! thanks! i was brought to a table quickly, told how things work and went on to making the perfect meal, complimented with hot and sour soup! So much healthy value for you dollar! Thanks again for an awesome time! Check it out if in Hali!

I will definetly be back

I love this restuarant and will definetly be back on my next visit! I was there this past weekend and had one of th ebest meals I have ever had while travelling. the staff was friendly, the drinks were a good price and the food was fresh and tasty!

One of my favorite places in Halifax

I have been going to the Mongolie Grill for years and have never had a complaint. The food is always fresh and well stocked (it is buffet style). The service is very fast and the staff are friendly. They serve you a bowl of soup while you wait for your stirfry to be made and the hot & sour is... more

Stirfry buffet

I really liked the Mongolie Grill, it really reminded my of the Stir Fry stations in the buffets down south (Dominican) except better quality food. Although you have a waitress/waiter its really a serve yourself place, they will just bring your bowl, drinks rice and chowder. Once you have your bowl you just go up and pick your stir fry... more

Mediocre food, bad service, terrible ambiance

This dinner was pretty terrible from the start. The only redeeming quality was the attention they have to allergies. The service was slow, the serving was terrible (one person out of 12 got their food 10 minutes before the rest), paying was a nightmare.
At first we got seated and that was fine, we got drinks etc. No one explained... more

Good food, wide selection of ingedients with server issue

We were here on a Saturday at lunch after Canada Day and the first that day in the restaurant. We were using an online voucher that I purchased for $15 that gave a $30 food/drink credit. We were seated promptly by the hostess/chef. The restaurant is large with virtually no ambiance/atmosphere, rather dark looking but there are windows that look... more

beautiful place,good service, okay food

went there for a family birthday. the place was almost empty. but what a nice spot they have!!! the food is only as good as you an make it since you physically pick out your ingredients and sauce, what do you know about sauces?? i accidentally picked a hot hot hot sauce but they were kind to let me chose... more

The Mongolie Grill

yes dudes and dudettes! pretty much the best darn make-you-own-food resturant in Halifax. choose you meats and veggies from a pretty big line-up, choose your sauce from the mildest to the hottest as per your convinience, hand it over to bored looking chef and wait for magic to happen.
chef's gonna cook your assortment in your sauces and hand it over to you healthy and hearty. no matter how much... more

Delicious. Like Subway but with stir fry.

Great with Practice

I've been walking by this restaurant for almost 2 years now as it's located within the same building where I work, and I've heard mixed reviews from my colleagues. I finally decided to give it a try a few weeks ago, and will admit my first experience was nothing special. However, I gave it another try with a friend and... more

Expensive, no charm, lousy service

This is basically a do-it-yourself meal...you gather up the ingredients, the plate is weighed, then it's cooked up and delivered to your table. While the staff on the kitchen side seemed to be cheerful enough and qualified, the table service was poor....not a good attitude, very tardy delivery of beverages and the spring rolls came at the end of the... more

Service? what service

A group of four of us went there Saturday night, were seated promptly and that was it. Another couple came in got seated next to us. 20 minutes later both tables were still there waiting for our "bowls", I mean after all how long does it take to look at that menu?
Meanwhile another group of four were seated on... more

Very overpriced for the quantity

I really wouldn't recommend anyone to experience this place as the meal is weighed after you add your sauces into the food. The food wasn't all that great and the service not great

Stay away

Sorry, but I can't recommend this place.
Overpriced and absolutely no service.
You can do better elsewhere.

I really liked the "make-your-own meal" concept. Great food, great staff

I really liked the "make-your-own meal" concept. Great food, great staff!

Food was good, service not so much

I was curious about this place after a friend recommended it but then it got a terrible review in The Coast. The chance to go for lunch presented itself so I went, and the food was very good! I did not find it overcooked at all. My only food-related complaint would be that they really do not give you much... more

Good Take Out

Good Food. Excellent Service. We grabbed some food to take out. Price was average.

Large place, Very clean

Large place, Very clean and tidy. Service very good. Food was good. Cant complain. You pick your own ingredient and a bloke fry's it up for you. Not sure about raw meat sitting around but was all good. Cheap beer when I was there too. Bonus.

Love it Love it!! excellent food, the flavours and possibilities are delightful and I love the spacious and modern atmosphere. Staff are friendly. Ive been there several times and get the same excitement every time because I know I can create my own meal, just the way I like it.. the age old debate will I make the same as last time or will I take it up 'another notch' BAM

I love this place...great service and excellent food. Go now you won't regret it.

It is located on 1645 Granville Street.
