I don't recommend this place. The food wasn't that good. It was fairly slow and I got my rice and soup maybe 20 minutes after I sat down and even then I had to remind the employee about it. The music is very loud here.

It's a public restaurant, so you have to pay attention to cleanliness. It's too messy.

Update: I have been throwing up and getting sick all night after this meal. I believe I may have food poisoning. Went here tonight just excited to try a new place and was highly disappointed. $18 for unflavored Mongolian and a cold potsticker and flat soda. I wish I would've read these reviews before spending my money here. Everything around the veggies, meat, and sauces was dirty and definitely cross contaminated. Save your money and go to the Mongolian place in the galleria. Portion size is better and it's cheaper.

Been going here for years. I know it's changed owners a few times but this day was the worst. Waited to be seated staff just looking at us!! Not that busy tables were messy not clean. Got are food ready to cook grill was dirty. My husband got pork I didn't, about five hours later he was so sick it was awful NEVER going back.

Not one to leave reviews but I went into this place to merely pick up a door dash, I sat down because the food wasn't ready and this employee with a beard and a bad attitude walks up to me and tells me I need to move in a rude a** tone. There is no sign or anything saying there is reservation, I still comply to him because I was just picking up a dash. But the lack of customer service in this place is unbelievable. After I moved the guy continued to give me dirty looks until I left.

GK Mongolian BBQ, located in Roseville, CA, is one of two Placer County links in a chain of ten - soon to be eleven - Mongolian barbecue restaurants in Central and Northern California. The restaurant is located in the TJ Maxx Plaza, and serves custom-made Mongolian barbecue every day of the week. As you enter the restaurant, you'll be greeted by a friendly hostess, and invited to turn the corner, glance at the menu, grab a bowl, and start choosing what you want to enjoy for your meal. Thee dining room is quite spacious, clean and modestly decorated. Patio dining is available just outside the front door, and it's shared with three other restaurants. The small bar, which serves soft drinks, beer and wine is to the rear, and the grill and buffet line-up is to the left. The dining room is very comfortable and inviting. You grab a bowl, and choose your lunch from the buffet, when it comes to service, this is a "sit down" restaurant, as the friendly staff will bring your sides, drinks and appetizers to your table, and when you're finished dining, they'll bring you your check. The "buffet line-up" is in the shape of a large "U," as you start by picking up a bowl. and work your way around clockwise until the last stop, where you give your bowl to the grill chef, and he'll grill your meal. Disposable plastic gloves are provided to make this very sanitary, and all food items are placed in your bowl using tongs or ladles. No "hands on" in this restaurant! If you're not familiar with the way a Mongolian barbecue works, it's basically a "you choose what you want and the grill chef cooks it." You pick up a bowl, and you start with the meat, and you work yourself around, clockwise, adding what you want to your bowl. You can put as much of anything and everything in your bowl, with the only limitation that it must all fit in your bowl. Truly, you get to enjoy your meal YOUR WAY! If you're certain of what you want, you can always take a look around the line to see what's available before placing it in your bowl. As per contemporary health practice, once you put something in your bowl, it stays there. When your bowl is filled, you hand it to the grill chef, and he'll place the contents on the sizzling-hot grill, sizzle it for a couple minutes, and when your food is grilled, he'll scoop it up, place it in another bowl, and then you're ready to enjoy your amazing lunch. I chose pork and lamb for my meat, which were thinly sliced and made for perfect grilling. Mongolian barbecue reminds me of stir frying on a griddle, as all items you choose, including your sauce, are placed on the oiled grill and cooked together, over high heat. It's similar to the way street venders grill carne asada on the streets of Mexico. Besides meat, I went with noodles, copped white onion, chopped cabbage, diced green onions, baby corn along with chow mien noodles for texture and a bit of "crunch." For sauce, I chose Mongolian sweet and sour, and I added sesame oil to the mix. The grill chef asked if I wanted garlic salt, and I replied with a bit YES! The meat was amazing tender, juicy, and made this a robust, filling lunch. The beef and lamb were simply delicious, but the lamb stole the show, as with every bite, I could taste lamb. I ADORE lamb... I think next time, I'll simply go with lamb for my meat. The veggies were amazingly fresh, and cooked perfectly tender, but not mushy, as the corn still had a bit of "snap" to it. The Mongolian sweet and sour sauce held the whole dish together, and made each bit consistently delicious. Naturally, you just can't have Mongolian barbecue without noodles, and the noodles didn't disappoint. Finally, the chow mien added a bit of "crunch" to the meal and added a rich, "nutty" taste. GK Mongolian BBQ serves delicious barbecue! This restaurant is truly among the best Mongolian restaurants that I've enjoyed during the 25 years I've been a Roseville reside
Trust the bad reviews. Super dirty inside, the food tasted so weird. The veggies had tons of old pieces and food was all over the ground near the Mongolian. We got postickers, rice, and soup free with the meal but it was all COLD. Super overpriced and service wasn't great either. Feel like this place is one slip away from making a health code violation and being shut down lol it's that bad. And the music was extreamly loud! Sounded like someone's playlist on shuffle blasting on the speakers! Me and my friends couldn't help but find the expierence funny from how bizarre it all was.

the door was open, the smell coming out from there was so good...very inviting, we just had to go in. The food was awesome. The self-serving and watching the food being cooked is the best. The only thing is that we forgot to take our free drinks, LOL

My Friend is Doordashing and walked into to pick up her order, the order was already picked up by another dasher, so this caused caused her some stress, the employee did not handle the situation correctly and were completely disrespectful to my friend some of the comments the employee said to her were "thats just life" " maybe you should get a real job" "not our problem". This is completely disrespectful and unprofessional. Food buisnessess make alot of money through door dash, so the drivers should not experience such behavior. She did not catch the workers name but his physical description was black hair, red beard, and short in height. I will be contacting the manager, such actions should not be tolerated and go unpunished. Grow up kid, and provide good customer service like your job requires you to. 5/27 /22 11:50 pm

So I had this place 2x ... now and a time before. This first time was really good so I told myself I would definitely be coming back, but after this visit was a no go for me ! The noodles seem to be over cooked (My noodles are soggy) and has no flavor .... Also the worse part of this whole experience there was a freaking hair in my food ! Idk if I'd be paying this place another visit anytime soon !

This place is great! My fiancé and I live in the Bay Area and were visiting over the weekend. We went 2 nights in a row because we enjoyed it so much. The staff was super friendly (I wish I would have gotten their names)! We will defiantly be going back!
