Mongolian Grill

Pretty bad restaurant. The food may be cheap at £12.50pp but that's no excuse for the tasteless tripe we were fed. The decor is shabby, the food is shabby, the toilets are shabby and the service is even worse. I had to ask 3 times for the bill and was still offered no apology when I had to walk to the bar to pay. Do yourself a favour and visit one of the many gastro pubs on the opposite side of the road instead.

Four of us had a wonderful and most enjoyablemeal here on 2 nov 2012. Superb athmosphere. Excellent value.

I found this restaurant when walking pass the neighbourhood one evening in Oct 2012 and thought giving it a try! I went back twice within 2 weeks now since. This restaurant is good and definitely good value! The choices are plenty and enough, of course in China, everyone has their own favourite items to cook in the hotpot, but come on, they offer fish, prawns, squids, beef, chicken, lamb and pork plus many of other veg and tofu ingredients etc in their selections and charging less than £13pp.... what do people expect????? Food quality is also good and my friends and myself all very happy with it... Service is good (far better than most of other Chinese restaurants in China town anyway). As a person who dine out 4-5 nights a week in different budget restaurants, I think this is a real bargain and we should all support a non-chain restaurant like this. I will definitely go back again in this long boring winter and if you never try hotpot before, prepare to have an open-mind and give them a chance!! By the way, I found this timeout review after my first visit and was reading it on my way of my 2nd visit and I can say their review was accurate. (by the way, the restaurant has a sign on the table mentioning about the time limit for 2 hours but on both night of visit we were not told to leave (being on Tue and Sunday evening).

Awful awful awful. Avoid.

This place was amazing somewhere you must book though we went on a wednesday night and it was packed! We were seated by an amazing waitress who explained everything as the people i was with had not been to hot pot before she made up her favourite sauces for us helped picked stocks that we absolutley loved and showed us the proper way to eat everything. It was like being invited to somebodys home, the food range was amazing everything from lamb to tofu and on occasion they would bring out rice or spring rolls at no extra cost! this place very highly recommened we had to drive 30mins to get here it was well worth it for a whole £12.50 we got all of this!

I love this place, having gotten old and boring china town has become a rare treat. Couldn't believe my luck when i stumbeld into the mongolian grill one rainy night. China right on my door step. Funny how we often fail to see to whats right under our nose..I love to impress my friends to a autentic night out. They have not been dissapointed. The food is top quality, being a local i often organzize my take away. with them. The best in clapham by far.( Won't mention the one that used to use, great but rapidly went down hill. .) Its a rare pleasure to have my mouth water at the sheer thought of food. but this place does it for me..Perfect yet differant eating experiance.That fact of the chinnesse from china town are coming to this reasturant say's it all. They also have a following from wood green north london speaks for itself. My only advice pre booked as to avoid dissapointment. My Gem on my doorstep. Lucky me....

Cheap and cheerful atmosphere, lots of variety and very friendly staff. The food is delicious and we've been back several times. A great find!

Less varianty and poor quality. It is unreasonable to charge £12.5 per person for the hot pot. I am only willing to pay £5 or less.

An awful offal dinner - misled by TimeOut recommendation!!! A dinner with my friends to celebrate the New Year at this restaurant had turned out to become a nightmare. We were literally being shouted at and intimidated by a series of harassments from the restaurant's owners while all we had done was taking the time to enjoy a meal. Being a Chinese who had been craving for some hot pot and grilled food in this wintry weather, I searched online and found this highly rated Mongolian Grill Hot Pot Restaurant in Clapham that was also recommended by London Timeout. When the gas inside the hot pot's camping stove ran out, we asked the waitress to provide a new bottle of gas. However, she refused and asked to leave the restaurant in 3 minutes time because we had reached our 'time limit' and there were customers waiting for a table. This was the very first time we were told there was a time limit – they didn't tell me when I booked the table, they didn't tell us when we were being seated, this isn't on their website, not on their menu nor any signage inside the restaurant. Therefore, we refused to leave based on the fact that we had NEVER been informed and we hadn't finished our dinner yet. After the waitress left the table, an unfriendly big woman approached and shouted at us – asking us to leave immediately because 'time's up'! We reinstated the reason why we're entitled to stay because they had failed to inform us in advance, so we hadn't yet finished our dinner. Followed by a threatening big guy came to our table shouting that because they're cheap we should have expected the 'time limit' rule....and this nasty drama carried on for a while. We are a bunch of principled people who won't be threatened by this psychological violence; so we just calmly stayed till we finished the dinner, paid the bill and left. However, the big guy once again threateningly approached and followed us when we were leaving the restaurant to SHOUT 'PLEASE DON'T COME BACK!' I can only say his final words are a sound piece of advice for those who don't want to have a disastrous night-out and being threatened. Food is really average – generally salty, wide range of internal organs (offal) and meats are paper-thin; inconvenient location and horrendous services

This might be the first time I do a review for a restaurant, but I think I should do it for my terrible experience that I just had with this hotpot restaurant. The food, I would say probably the worst that I have ever had in London. The service is horrify. The staff can shout in the face of their customer is truly unbelievable! Please don't waste your money on trying this one ever.
