Review Gengy's Mongolian Bbq Buffet - Palmerston North

Superb food -great for kids, especially fussy eaters as they get to choose from a great selection. Starters mains and puddings included. Food is all fresh. And graded pricing scale is perfect when you have kids. Will be back again next time in palmy.

Quite a unique experience in Palmy. Buffet style. Choose the ingredients/sauce and food is freshly stir-fried. Questionable hygiene (especially at the dessert bar) but they were extremely busy with lots of kids. I would suggest the owner to oversee the hygiene and the operation instead of helping at cooking/cashier. Would definitely go back.

Had a great night there. Food was yum. You get a bowl, fill it up with whatever you want, then take it to the chefs, and they cook it in front of you while you wait. Thought that was cool. It's about $30-$40 all you can eat. They have all sorts of beverages to choose from. I enjoyed a cocktail called illusion 😀. That was yum too. So go and enjoy people.

This is not a fancy restaurant, this is self service, quantity over quality food setting. As long as you understand this, you will enjoy yourself, the meals are only as good as you make them so if you don't like your meal, that's on you. Very good for family's not so much romantic couples.

This was my first visit here and to see so many people lined up at the doors before they opened was surprising. I have never seen people line up to get into a restaurant before. The food was amazing and they know how to cater for large groups. Hats off to the 3 guys cooking

My daughter specifically requested dining here for her birthday. Pricing calculator is available on their website so you don't get any nasty surprises and prices are scaled for children by age. I suggest you book ahead of time, especially for large groups. The restaurant can be a little loud. Meals are all you can eat and water is provided, but other drinks are extra. If you have not eaten at this style of buffet before, you queue to fill a bowl at the buffet, with meat and vegetables and your choice of flavoured oils, sauces and condiments, and these are griddle cooked while you wait and handed to you on a plate for you to return to your table. This allows you to select only the delicious things you want to eat in a stirfry style, and you can keep going back to try different flavours. Service staff were efficient at removing used plates and always asked politely before doing so. There are a range of sides and nibbles (great for fussy kids who only want nibbles and nuggets), and some soups with optional rolls and butter. I found the chicken & mushroom soup really tasty. The dessert bar has limited options, which are mostly ice cream with various toppings, but there is always the option of pancakes. If you have 3 adults dining at full cost, it's $1 on birthdays. Check their website for full pricing and conditions.

Visited for family birthday. Lovely chowder to start with fresh bun. Then get bowl and get meat oil sauces and take to staff to cook on large grill. veges cooked like stir fry. ☺️☺️☺️

Excellent food as always. Great service, friendly staff, delicious pancakes. This is one of my favourite places to eat with friends - it's less formal than a normal sit down dinner and easy to catch up in.

Great place for groups when you don't know food preferences! Can only blame yourself if you don't like the flavour of your dish!

Came here for the first time this evening and was very impressed with the options, everything was so fresh. I had a variety of dinner options ant topped it off with a ice cream pancake with fruit salad which was simply perfect. Cocktails went down to easy and we could of had them coming all evening.

Great place for large gathering. The staff were super friendly and accomodating. Food was amazing. 100% recommend to all.

We love going here every time!!! It's always great!!! Thank you

You choose your own ingredients from the large selection of Meat, vegetables, oils, sauces & extras. It's then cooked up on a hotplate for you. Pre-cooked foods such as fish, chips, chicken wings & soup are available as is the ingredients to make your own salad or burger. Great place to go if you have a group of people with differing tastes in food!

Amazing place and nice food. Great options to get creative with flavour and meat.
