Lee's Mongolian Grill

The Good: Well, my dish had exactly the right proportion of stuff I wanted!  Oh wait, I guess that's because I chose a place where I knew I could make my own dish.  They did have 4 different types of noodles which was good.

The Bad: Crepes are not included, just soup and rice.  Also, something in the line smelled.. off.  Not sure what, might have been the bamboo shoots.  Hopefully it was just my sense of smell, I will report back after my trip to the mens room...

The Ugly: Well, as is standard at pretty much every other Mongolian place I have been to, I expected that given only 1 price listed, it was as many as you wanted.  I usually only half fill my bowls so I can do a variety of combinations.  I was informed after my 2nd bowl that the limit was 2 (They were gracious enough to allow me my 3rd half-filled bowl since it was my first offence)
Nowhere is this stated, and the server did not mention this to anyone at the table.  When I mentioned that a simple sign would alleviate the confusion, I was told that nowhere did it say this was an all you can eat place.  My wife pointed to the sign which stated no sharing etc that is standard at Mongolian places, and the hostess said "Of course not, this is a buffet" dot dot dot

The Rundown: Overall, not worth the trip.  Same if not blander sauces and ingredients as Jung's and others, courteous but oblivious staff.  I too had to do a double take when I noticed that the Groupon offered was for 2 $10 gift cards, a sneaky way of forcing you to eat there at least twice.  Well I totally gamed the system and tossed my extra $10 to the homeless guy on centennial.  Maybe he will post a better experience than I did.

Food was pretty good, in the review below they had said the servers did not bring extra bowls.

After finishing our plates I put mine to the end of the table and the server asked if we would like another bowl and brought us one promptly.

The food was good, I do with they had sauce lists for good combo's, as I do not know what tastes good on the food.

Noodle choices of: yakisoba, chinese, spicy and rice noodles.

Protein choices of: chicken pork beef tofu and sliced hot dogs.

Sliced hot dogs seemed very out of place!

Meal came with free rice and soup.

Soup was scalding hot and burnt my tongue initially.

Rice tasted like it was from the day before, good thing I did not go here for the rice, they would be better off not serving it.

all in all it was good, I will be going back again since I have bought two, ten dollar gift cards on groupon.

lunch until 3:30 mon-fri = 8.95

lunch sat-sun = 10.95

dinner = 10.95

Been to Lee's three times now, overall the place is very clean and has decent prices based on their one size of bowl. Their assortment of vegetables is decent, although certain things seem to be missing a lot, like mushrooms.

Tonight's visit had me sampling the new Spicy Noodles with four scoops of the Lees Spicy sauce, this was of course a mistake and my insides hate me for making such a poor decision. :(

A few annoyances include waitresses walking past empty soda glasses several times, and not clearing empty plates away. The place is billed as an all you can eat setup, but when I asked for an additional bowl I received a childs sized bowl.

My second trip through yielded a surprise. After eating half of my chicken and noodles I noticed something glinting from my plate, after closer examination I found a piece/chunk of metal, probably a tag or section of aluminum from some piece of food. This wasn't a small fleck or piece of foil, it was about 1/8" thick and something you would not want to accidentally bite into. It was brought to a waitresses attention that we "found a piece of metal" in our food. Instead of getting an apologetic response we instead were met with an annoyed response of "thats not metal, thats aluminum foil", oh sorry I forgot that aluminum isn't metal!

After all that was said and done we finally received our first soda refill and an offer of another bowl, to which we declined. When we were ready to leave we found the bill at full price and no discount or recompense offered for finding the "chunk of aluminum" in our meal. That along with a hair in my girlfriends food sealed the deal for us, we will not be going back to Lee's Mongolian Grill. We'll stick with the better service and prices at the one off of River Road instead.
