Having had a family birthday, we opted to attend Gengys. We arrived at opening and once upon being seated we set right into it. The options of various meats and seafood was amazing. Endless refills if you are able. The selections of oils and dressing to tantalize anyone's taste buds. Side dishes of garlic potatoes, honey kumara, cheesy cauli/broccoli, chips and lovely salads and pancake with icecream, caramel/chocolate/maple syrup. We highly recommend you bring your family to this Restuarant to celebrate family events.
Went here for my birthday in 2020. Great overall and the kids loved mixing it up on their plates. Great variety and atmosphere. Leaving with happy bellies!
Love this restaurant. The staffs are really nice. So many food to choose from. I just hope they regularly refill the cooked ones.
Loved the service, the spring rolls and the food I chose to be cooked.
I didn't like the creamy corn soup was like drinking warm milk, the squid rings and the nuggets were hard as rock, the 2nd plate of cooked food was not as nice as the 1st plate, tasted like I was eating another dish that had something sweet in it and I chose the same ingredients as the 1st plate, even my son said his food tasted and looked burnt.
Considering the price we paid it was good but not that great.
I will dine again but would make some recommendations or give some suggestions to the cooks.
The only problem with this place is that I ate too much. The food was fantastic. Be eather though, get small portions so you can try more things. Will definitely be returning!
Love Gengys. Staff are friendly. Food is good. Went last year to check it out. Then my family took me again for my birthday (only $1 for birthdays!). And I’ve come back again haha. Definitely beats doing a maccas run!
Yummy food very filling would recommend to others
Great experience. The service was pretty slow and they kept running g out of bowls and some ingredients. But fun experience designing your own meals
Awesome staff, worked really hard even under pressure as there was a lot of orders and a bit of confusion with order numbers (some doubling up in the beginning that was sorted) . But not too stressful for them! Food was nice, and plenty of meat choice. Chef's understanding and pleasant. Not a lot of ice cream choice and the self serve was a little makeshift? But pancake recipe absolutely delicious. Seating was well set up so it didn't feel claustrophobic. Clean and spacious toilets. Overall a lovely night.
Really good family atmosphere. Staff were really helpful and showed me how it works. You get to pick your own food and they cook it for you. But make sure you know what table number and meal number your meal is assigned to just in case they get really busy.
Yummy food. My advice would be to chose the lamb (it is more tender than beef) and it’s all the same price so go for the best.
I went to a Mongolian BBQ further south and it cost about $24 but everything has gotten more expensive so $38 here isn’t to bad especially considering it is all you can eat.
Fun fact: Mongolian BBQ buffet is so named because apparently after battle Genghis Khan and his troops put their metal shields over a fire and cooked local food they had gathered on them.
