Mongo's Essen - Table reservation

I was expecting a proper Mongolian grill restaurant. It is however a generic Asian fusion restaurant, however a very good one i might add. The concept is quite interesting, you pick your raw food of choice and marinade, and they do the cooking for you, so it is worth having the all you can eat option (at around 29 EUR) rather than the a la carte ones, just so that you can explore the many marinades they offer in combination with an abundance of fresh options in the food ingredients open bar. You can find anything from carrot and tofu to clams, seabass or zebra and kangaroo meat, so perhaps worth pacing yourself in terms of ratio sizes while you create the assortment for grilling.

Fresh ingredients, healthy, but no taste to the meal at all. I had my own selection with the sause with the sesame seeds and orange from their selection rice noodles, some veggies, shrimp. Everything was fresh, but I was VERY disappointed, how did they manage to make it taste like nothing. No spices, I felt the sauce for like 5 seconds total. Its was not salted at all, nothing! On top of that, I got a Mango lemonade, it tasted like a Multivitamin, more like orange than mango. I might give this one more chance, with different sauce (Curry sauce seemed to have some flavor), but not more then one.

Went here with an organized group during the Essen Spiel 2022 fair. Very cool wooden decor, all you can eat with customizable marinades, service was EXTREMELY professional, kitchen incredibly fast, food very tasty. Honestly, I cannot but recommend this place and look forward to going there again in the coming years when I'm back in Essen!
