Review from Diana B.

After a day in the sun at Kitilano, this was the choice of the night.
We came as a party of ten, and my friend warned us the place was small, so if it was busy, we wouldn't fit.
Upon entry, we were in the clear, but I wasn't sure what to do? No menu or anything.
I have been to Mongolian Quick meal joints, so I know the process, but I didn't know the price.
Anyhow, the food and the service was amazing. I enjoyed it very much.
Large Plate: $10.95
All you can eat: $13.95
Kids: $5.95
Prices were about right. Can't complain at all. The chefs and server were awesome! -

I've been going to Mongo's (as it's now called) for about seven years now and while I am a fan of it, I should be honest and say that a more realistic rating would be three, three and a half stars. I'm just biased on the 4:20 front.
AYCE is amazing if you're eyes are a little more blood shot than normal, otherwise you end up wasting a tonne of food with the left overs. I remember they used to have this deal where you couldn't take doggy bags with your left overs out with you, I don't know if that's still the case but if you become a more regular customer there then they sometimes bend the rules for you. Personally I think it's kind of silly to just throw out all that extra food but hey, to each their own right.
The service is great, again, I've been going there forever so the manager/head waitress is always really sweet and friendly. The new soup they're putting out with the meals is kind of weird now, I remember it used to be hot and sour soup, which was EPIC, but alas those days are gone. Either way, I'll still gladly eat it. Since I drastically cut down on my toking I'm not here as often, but the point is that I still do go in.
The bottom line is basically that if you feel like smoking with some friends and being gluttonous, this is the place to do it. -

This Mongolian grill is the stuff of my childhood. I remember being very small (second grade?!) and pummeling meat into my little bowl in an attempt to get more food for my money's worth (my family only ever went for lunch, and never for the all-you-can-eat option.) It was always dirt-cheap and delicious, and I'd always get excited for a trip to the Mongolian grill the way kids in commercials get excited for a place like Swiss Chalet.
Unfortunately, Great Wall has changed owners several times since I was in the second grade. It's either this owner switch-up, or my palate becoming more refined, but the food just seems to have been tasting worse over the years. On the other hand, it has become a lot cleaner, and the service has exponentially improved. Still, I long for the days of my childhood. -

I definitely entered this restaurant mostly based on it's name. Isn't the great wall something that the mongolians should hate? Or maybe they turned all that rage on barbecuing?
Mongolian BBQ joints are almost as popular as dollar pizza in Vancouver so it's rare that one stands out. Great Wall is no exception. Cheap, easy food to be certain but they don't really offer much in the way of anything unique. In fact, the only difference seems to be their threat of charging you if there are any leftovers.
That said, I've been to plenty of Mongolian BBQ places that are dirty, have little to no seating, or make some really bad food so even with my niggling disappointments Great Wall is far from the worst choice out there. -

We went to Great Wall with neighbors who declared this spot to be their favorite restaurant. And while it did satiate the hunger of this carnivore, we haven't returned despite the geographical convenience of the place.
The all-you-can-eat option goes for $11.95. Personally, I can't eat that much food and a set plate priced at a few bucks less filled me up just fine. The all-you-can-eat does offer that delightful option of eating just chicken and pineapple, if you're so inclined.
The service was attentive but quiet. The restaurant is clean -- in fact I see the cook cleaning up the grease here when I walk by nightly. He's even squeegeeing the mirror behind the grill. I appreciate that thoroughness.
If you need quick eats or an intense amount of food, head on in here. But don't expect anything you couldn't find elsewhere. -

The food here is good tho could be fresher as their restaurant could be cleaner. The uncleaned dried up teriyaki sauce on the walls next to the booths attract flies. Notice all the flies?? And the floor should be mopped more often. I'm a messy person so my standards for cleanliness are not so high. But if you don't mind the flies and bacteria, their food is pretty decent and priced decently too.

I loved the restaurant and the concept of the buffet-style all you can eat, or fill in a bowl. And of course the big, circular grill that it all goes on. Great price, really good food. I just wish I was more hungry.
