Genghis Grill, which made its Knoxville debut just a few weeks ago in Turkey Creek, touts itself as a Mongolian stir fry restaurant. Rather than being a subcategory of Asian cuisine, “Mongolian” refers to an exhibition style of cooking modeled after a centuries-old legend. That legend holds that 12th-century Mongol warriors, led by Genghis Khan, heated their shields over open fires to grill their food on the fields of battle. At Genghis Grill Mongo Restaurant, diners interactively participate in the building of their own stir-fry meals, which are served in large red bowls. But first, the greeter hands you a stainless steel bowl for assembling your ingredients, and then your server leads you into a queue, where you get to custom assemble the raw components of your meal, which are laid out in a food-bar-style series of stations. Step one: choose your protein. Take your pick of 12 different raw meats including chicken, marinated steak, turkey, ham and shrimp. At the second station, you add a dash of a seasoning; again, there are about a dozen to choose from. Next, you can pick from more than 30 veggies, which range from traditional salad-style toppings to tofu, mandarin oranges, bok choy, bamboo shoots and baby corn. At step four, you splash on a ladle’s worth of one of a dozen sauces, which range in degrees of spiciness. Adventurous types can totally go freelance and assemble any combination of ingredients as they see fit. You can add as much of the meats and veggies as your bowl can reasonably hold, despite what the recipe card recommends. You pay a flat $9.99 per bowl, regardless of weight. After step four, Genghis bowls are handed over to a grill worker, informing him of the choices of starch (we picked fried and steamed rice over pasta, tortillas or udon noodles) and then the bowls and rice selections are dumped out onto a massive circular stir-fry grill. Everyone’s meals are separated by long wooden sticks, and workers also use the sticks to mix the ingredients and ensure they are heated evenly. The quality of the ingredients is more than satisfactory, and they are certainly blended well within the chosen recipes. With all that in mind, we would recommend that you at least try Genghis Grill Mongo food once and decide for yourself whether the participatory experience inspires feelings of fun and adventure or elicits the wrath of Khan. Genghis Grill - Mongolian Grill Fast Casual Restaurant with multiple branches all over USA, invites you for a unique and delicious dining experience with mongo food. You can build your own bowl of stir fry at the Great Khan Mongolian Grill.
