Gobi Mongolian Grill - Pleasanton

This is such value for money. I usually see this place empty during lunch time which makes me wonder if they just chose a bad place where people have different preferences because this place is solid. It delivers.

If you are craving delicious noodles, this is the place! Some noodles, like a lot of the chow mein I have eaten, can be dry or lacking in flavor-not the case here. Scrumptious and piping hot off the grill. One scoop of chili oil makes them perfectly spicy. Service was friendly.

Just moved to the area, this is my favorite spot so far, friendly staff and delicious, fresh food for a good price.

This place was good when I went to it a while ago. The selection of food to choose from was fantastic and of course its fun watch the cooks make the food on the awesome grill. What is also nice is the free noodles you can get no matter how long you are there for. You can load up on those while you watch your food cook and enjoy the show at the same time. The service overall was good too as they did do a good job making sure to clean our plates when we were done. And the ambiance is good too for a small place so there is nothing to complain about there.

I understand the low reviews because the place is a little rundown but the food is great and never disappoints! My kids still love going and loading that bowl until it overflows. They have a lot of options and lots of different sauce options. They do offer sides included with the meal like wonton chips, soup, and soft serve ice cream. Overall a fun casual place to eat and you will definitely have leftovers for the next day.

Sooo good I love it especially if you know what you want I need to come back... I don't have my order memorized but the way everything is cleanly placed I remember as I pick up the clamps lol.. and you get free white rice!!

Went in for a late night meal after working all day. We were greeted by Mike who was SUPER friendly and helpful. Good food, great service!!

My favorite noodz in the area! I come back often. Also try their homemade egg rolls. The lady at the front is very nice

Food is always fresh. Chef is fun to watch. Man of few words. Prices are a little steep for what you get. Was a buffet pre-COVID but no more. Ice cream used to be included too. Glad it's still here and still in the rotation, but can't afford it as a weekly trip anymore.

love this place! the noodles are so good i love to come here with my boyfriend although it has gotten a bit pricey for what it is.

Incredible tastes Everything was so fresh Service was so kind The chef was smiling Ambience quiet and clean Chill relaxing vibes for an affordable yummy lunch or dinner

This place has been my go-to for Mongolian BBQ for years, and it's still the best option around. They made some changes over time, like removing the all-you-can-eat option and increasing their prices, but let's be real...where haven't they? For the quality and portion sizes, I still think it's worth it. Plus, this is literally the only Mongolian BBQ spot in the Pleasanton, Dublin, San Ramon, Danville, and Livermore areas, so it's definitely a gem for no frills, but solid food and quick service. If you're craving Mongolian BBQ, this is the spot to hit!

The food is amazing, the amazing chef always says hi and always with a big smile, the service is amazing always sharing recommendations for your next bowl and the ambiance has an authentic touch to it, the music and the atmosphere is amazing! definitely recommend people to come here! bang for your buck!

Four stars. I love Mongolian Bbq and Gob hit the spot! It's two medium/small bowls for &16.99. .50 for an ice cream. Each trip is $3 more. It's not all you can eat, but the food quality is decent, cooked quickly and you get a good plate of food.

Great selection of ingredients and sauces. We love Mongolian and this is the best in the area. You make your own bowl and they cook it. I wish they had pocket bread and beer, but they have unlimited rice and good unsweetened ice tea. The ambiance is unpretentious. The service is limited to cooking your bowl.

A group of co workers and I came one afternoon after a meeting. I ordered the single bowl. You go down the line and pick your meets, noodles, veggies, etc. When you get to the end, you wait for the cook to prepare your bowl (you can get the takeout container as well). After it's cooked you have a seat at an open table and eat. You can get a soda as well as ice cream cone (2/$1.50) I believe. After you finish eating, you go pay. Nice little place.

For the price, the quick service, and actual taste of my meal i have no choice but to 5 star this place. The inside has a great space for small and large groups. There was one table outside for 2 people which is actually where i sat. You get your food first and pay after which i thought was cool but almost confusing lol. Not going to lie its not the cleanest once you get by that buffet section selecting your food. As someone who has anxiety, it heightens because there was a line waiting on me behind while i decided what i wanted for my first time. I rushed and didn't get what i wanted with my two bowls but i paid extra for a second trip and my my my was it worth it. You have to dine in with the second trip but it's okay. I would come back more often if i was closer. If you're like me and don't care much about the cleanliness then it's perfect. Not like i saw anything out of the ordinary and the staff actually seemed short but the guy did actually clean up a bit. Oh i almost forgot they have free rice on the side.

This place is a lot of fun! Even though the prices have gone up in recent years (understandable) it's still far cheaper than most other spots for the enormous quantity of food. Love the selection of meats, veggies and sauces. As of writing this review the price for a 2 bowl dinner is $18, it produces a huge amount. Been here many times!

gobi has been our family favorite place over the years. The quality of the food is still very consistent. The owner did tell me they have been struggling with high food cost, they been trying hard to keep everything the same. We will continue support gobi.

A Great place to eat like a mongolian and plan like a mongolian. A popular joint for folks who work at tech companies in the area.

Fun experience for the kids: 1) construction of their dinner just the way they want it, 2) watching the cook grill it up, 3) eating their creation, and 4) dispensing their own soft serve ice cream. Parental supervision strongly advised, to keep the buffet from getting too jumbled up for the next family and also to navigate the wide array of sauces (many chili-based, but mild very available). My elementary school age daughter stated: "This stuff is really good, these people really know what they're doing!" Reasonable prices, ample parking, convenient location. Healthy options. Might not be your thing if you have food allergies to any of the options or strict dietary restrictions (which would be true for most buffets).

This is my favorite restaurant in the world. Idc what any other reviews says about this place. If you haven't had it before trust me you'll like it. I put everyone on. Anyways speaking on after covid: it's not that bad, considering every company laid off people or closed down, this place managed to stay open through thick and thin, you got to respect the people who cook your food in there everyday to make sure you get the best tasting food. Thank you

The food is fresh, and every time I have gone I have always gotten good service. The buffet line is usually clean, and a good value.

I've been here multiple times, I absolutely love this place! The staff is always nice, the food is always delicious and consistently clean. I like the little mom and pop feel of the place, it's definitely a neighborhood restaurant feel. I wasn't a big fan on Mongolian BBQ until I ate there.

One of the BEST Mongolian BBQ's out there! My wife and I have tried a lot of Mongolian BBQ and this was by far the best!! I am so happy we went here!! Whooohooooo!!

Great Food!!!!!!

Words, photos, videos, nothing can describe how amazing this place is. The food, portion sizes, and quality is just incredible. You can have a mountain of meat and vegetables, and it’s cooked right in front of you in this unique way. Even one of the workers there told me to add more because the there wasn’t enough in my bowl. All I can say, this place is definitely worth stopping at if you want a fantastic lunch or dinner.

Super experience. We have gone back several times. The food is up to you. Each dish is built by the customer. If you need assistance the hostess is friendly and will help. First time visitors will appreciate her help. There is an amazing variety of meats, greens, sauces and spices. The chef does an excellent job of cooking your selections. We brought our grandsons, 9 and 11 They really got into building their own meals. The hostess guided them a bit. They said it is way better than. ¥€§|{{>< (don’t want to bad mouth others) The kids want to go back for the food and DIY experience. So do I

Build your own bowl, cooked in front of you and done in minutes is a fabulous idea!

Best healthiest food ever Very kind friendly people Vegetarian okay

Super duper nice owner, so helpful and caring, especially because we were newbies. Very community-like feeling inside. Everyone is happy and hungry and satisfied. If i could just change one thing i‘d love to have a variety of noodles to chose from and maybe some fish :)

Good place. Fresh ingredients. Clean. U can go with or without noodles replacing with plain rice. Just make ur own perfect bowl. Extremely friendly staff. Definitely will come back.

Food is delicious 😋

Pretty good mongolian bbq. Good selection of meats and veggies. Cooked well. Recommend doubling sauces as indicated on the board.

Didn’t know there was a Mongolian BBQ place so close to us! Was looking for a place to eat on a Thursday night around 8PM and was so excited to find this restaurant! They had two options, one bowl and two, which I opted for two bowls. It was a heaping helping of food for about $18,l and I had a lot of leftovers to take home. Food was delicious and the people were nice. Will definitely come here again!

Always come here , really good pricing , food tastes amazing and it's all you can eat . Will definitely come here again

Satisfactory, sauce options were limited but the vegetables were fresh and the meat was tender and the cook did well. Not badly priced either.

This place has absolutely THE BEST Spring rolls I’ve ever had!!! The peanut sauce was to die for! The service was amazing, the ladies, beautiful, and friendly The man cooking the mongolian barbecue had the friendliest smile. The place is very clean ,selections were plentiful. Definitely 5 stars for me!!!

Pho is on the menu with no msg. Tasty and healthy, my wife likes the Pho, me and the kids enjoy the Gobi grill. Pick what you like, something for every taste! Super clean and friendly, we love this place!

If you are looking for Mongolian Grill, that's exactly what you get here, atmosphere and all.

They have started a new menu with appetizers. I ordered the shrimp rolls. They were full of shrimp and the right balance of mint. To top it off she had made home made sauce for dipping. She put the nuts on the side so you could enjoy with or without. I will definitely return just for her spring rolls
