HuHot Mongolian Grill in Joplin

Food was well cooked and tasted great, however the food bars were a terrible mess with ingredient choices all mixed together or empty. Counter tops were all food and/or oil covered. We were there about 3:45-4:00, so they were not that busy at the time

Filthy and disgusting!My husband and I went in for dinner around 6:30 pm. The counter by the hibachi grill was filthy and while the food was cooking, the cook was cleaning the grill with water and the water splashed all over the food. The place is disgusting, filthy and for $17.99 each per person buffet, yikes! NOT a place to be. DON’T do it!

The worst $18 per person mill are then meal Ive ever had. The cooks looked uninterested did not enjoy their job they just put my food on the grill and basically walked away then came back and scraped it off they didnt fluff it they didnt stir didnt do nothing to it my noodles were white as snow and my meat was still red I couldnt even eat my 1st plate I had to walk backup there when I seen a different cook was up there

Everything was well stocked, and fresh. They were busy when we were there and folks were making a mess of things. But as soon as a worker could make their way through they had it wiped up and tidy again. The restaurant was clean and the staff very friendly.As someone in a wheelchair, everything was very accessible to me! That was greatly appreciated!

If Im going to pay 17.99 during your very limited time frame on doordash and I can see a big chunk of the bottom of my bowl then its not worth my money. Especially since you guys took out a lot of options like water chestnuts. I cant drive to you and I love HuHot but this is sad. Some of you fill up the bowl while others will do a literal paper bowl full and stick it in the black container. Theres no content.

The cook was so great and entertaining. He made it very enjoyable.

The chefs were wonderful in cleaning the grill for our Alpha Gal allergies. Best service ever.

Great service, lots of sauce options, and everything Mongolian barbecue should be! Ive eaten at several of these and I really do like the one in Joplin best.

I used to like going here. Friendly staff and everything, its just that the last couple of times Ive been there my food had an odd taste, kind of like dish soap. I dont know if its the sauce Im using or what but I just cant go back anymore. Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this.

Well I have never had a issue before going to huhot but this time I did I have a peanut allergy and they will clean the grill with no issue but they had a new cook on the grill heavyset white guy who was rude said I ruined his day because He has to cleaned the grill then asked me if I would be back up and I said I might so he rolled his eyes at me an said well I guess I will have to keep a spot clean then iv never had them act like that before usually there really nice that guy should not be a cook there on the upside my food tasted good and my waitress was really nice which is the only reason I gave a 3 star

Food was bad meat tasted freezer burnt. Place smelled bad and was extremely dirty. Floors were sticky

The food was good. But he place was dirty.Food bar was a mess and not stocked.The person who stocked the bar ignored us because he had head phones in.Was not even offerd are salads or soup or rice with our 16.99 dinner.

My friend and I went and though the staff were friendly and nice the food was so-so. Had been there before so I knew what to expect however we both left with upset stomachs. I almost threw up but didnt right after I left. Three days of stomach pain for me, she ended up sick, with same symptoms and some worse than me. So food poisoning I think. Wont be going back. Ever. Dinner was $15.99 each!!

Theyre pretty understaffed right now so dont go in expecting the fastest service but all things considered the grill guy did a fantastic job running the flattop during lunch rush. Give that man a raise!

Very pleased with the service food was wonderful. One of the best restaurant experience have had in a long. Prices very reasonable and good selection of meats and vegetables and a good gluten free selection. The only suggestion I would have is to have servers ask people if it is the first time in so new people would have a idea on what to do. Was very pleased with the servers explanation when we asked how it worked though.

Not a real Mongolian grill. I live in another state and we have an amazing Mongolian grill. All of the chefs are Mongolian or Chinese. This place had a young Caucasian male cooking that had no business being on a flat top. Couldnt handle spatulas. My party was 4 and we all had each others veggies in each others plates due to him flinging food everywhere. When I entered I watched how long he was cooking the food so I went ahead and overkilled the sauce on my food. I put literally 12 ladles of sauce between my starch bowl and meat and veggie bowl. My egg was burnt my crab was like a tire and my food was still so dry I couldnt even eat it. We got ours to go or they would have had a mouthful. My whole party ended up tossing the food and we went and got burgers. Never again very dissatisfied.

Food was very good. Our waitress was awesome...they were almost out of a lot of the veggies etc. Short staffed.

Many food items were empty on the buffet bar. Food items were cross contaminated. The food is subpar in flavor.

I was picking up a doordash order here and the service was terrible. It took a while to be greeted and then I stood there for about 20 minutes before they even started my customers order! Somebody could have told me that order wasnt started yet

Extremely fun experience. Make sure to let them know ahead of time if you have allergies.

This was an ok place to eat but not m7xh selection. Not much help. Cook was super busy and waitress was on seen twice.

My family and I have been coming here for years and we never have any issues. The only problem that we do see sometimes that we come is that the sauces are VERY watered down! We’ve brought is up before and it was fixed but they are starting to do it again! Seems like we’re just adding water to our food!

For those that have not been its kind of buffet style. You pick your noodles, meat, veggies, sauce, etc and take it to the grill and they grill it in front of you. It takes about 3-4 minutes on the grill. We went when it was slow so the whole process took about 5-10 minutes and its all you can eat.The food was okay.. they have sauce recipes posted if you cant decide what sauces you want. Service was great for us, but I could see it taking a while if it were busier.

Great Date night Spot!! Dont forget to ring that Gong!! Well worth every penny!! Everything is made fresh just like you want it, right in front of you! It has always been a favorite!!

Although the food was amazing I had to give a 4 star. We was understanding of the understaffed environment, however there was hardly any food on the buffet. The customer service was over all great

I have always enjoyed eating here. However on my last visit it could have been better. The waitress I had was super friendly and did her job with the utmost excellence, but the same cant be said for the cooks. The only one that seemed to know how to do his job was a gentleman in a white shirt. That man deserves a raise considering the guys he has to work with.

Good restaurant. A little different experience. You select your meats,veggies, noodles and or rice and place them in a bowl. You than add sauces to your liking. There are a lot of selections on the buffet. You then give your food to the cooks who grill it while you wait. It goes pretty fast. The service was very friendly and helpful. It was a unique experience. I would definitely recommend this place.

The service was great.. and the cooks were very entertaining and never gave some one through wrong bowl. Now this was the first time I have ever been to a Huhot. The only problem I had was they were missing a lot of the stuff... I tried to build at least 4 of the bowl recipes they have and they didnt have all the ingredients for any of them.

Great place to eat! Gather your fresh raw food, mix your own sauces, and watch them cook it right in front of you. Great friendly waitresses, and the cooks did an awesome job!

Nice, fresh ingredients. Great selection of veggies, really impressed. Sauces were fantastic, the habanero (level 11 I thinkis legit HOT.Came between lunch and dinner so it was pretty quiet. No waiting for the food to be cooked.Would definitely come back.

Food was great, everything else was not. Tables and seating were dirty and sticky, booth was filthy. Service was not good.The waitress failed to ask our childrens age and charged us for two kids instead of just 1.It was busy and the staff fell apart except for the grill cook. The manager and the grill cook were not speaking kindly of the other employees. Talking loudly in front of the 10 customers waiting for their food to finish cooking. The waitress failed to give us our ticket. And failed to ask us my childrens age again. It was a rough night, for us. To experience that atmosphere, made us never want to go there again.But the food was great!

Amazing place!! We had never been before and my son wanted to go for his 18th bday! Service was amazing! Food was great!

First time weve been here and were not disappointed. The service was awesome, no waiting at all. They explain how to get your ingredients together in a way thats easy to remember. Also they tell you how best to use the sauces and oils bar for maximum taste on EVERYTHING you pick. I think well be visiting there on date night again very soon. The prices were pretty good too. For two of use it was less than $37 and we had sodas and not just water. Well see you again soon Brecklynn, thank you very much you were awesome!!

When we went in the server was really polite and she seated us to our table and asked us what we would like to drink and she had done told us that it was a buffet but we didnt see any food cooked,,,,,Take note this is our first time at a Hibachi Bar and Grill so we didnt know how everything worked,,,,,So about ten minutes later she comes back and were still settling at our table and she says are yall finding everything alright,,,,we look at each other stupid and confused and she more or less had to lead us through the whole process !!!! And it was different than anything we had ever eaten even though we created ourselves !!!! But okay !!!!@

Very good food. Eat what you want, as much as you want. Management is very considerate. There when they opened, didnt have the grill ready. Management reduced our bill to compensate us having to wait just a few minutes to eat. Also gave us a free appetizer.

I had the most adorable waitress. She was polite friendly and always kept my drink full. They wiped down all surfaces several times while we were there. The cooks were great to watch also. I recommend two bowls or your plate will look empty and lots of sauce.

The food is always great, especially since you get to choose what you like and dont like. The chefs put on a good show at the grill and the waitstaff is super friendly and cherry. A great way to spend a birthday!

The chefs were incredibly nice while my group and I stood waiting for our food to cook. They were also kind to each other. One chef looked like he was relatively new and another chef was making sure to be nearby and give him helpful advice. It was an awesome first time to this restaurant. And the food was absolutely delicious!

Ill start by saying the host and waitresses were very accommodating very polite. The only reason Im giving this place three stars is because it was dirty there were toppings mixed in with other toppings there was sauce all over the sauce bar The floors were extremely sticky. Other than that the place is nice If you can look past food being thrown everywhere and sauce all over the sauce bar your good to go. also I want to add that the frozen meat had a weird freezer burnt taste to it when we went Saturday evening. And the veggies had like a weird flavor to them.

A most glorious assortment noodles, protein, toppings and sauces. Cooked to perfection with flair on an eight foot diameter griddle.

Great place to eat! Love the food and really enjoy watching it prepared!

Food was fantastic. Great service, fast. We will go back again.

As a first-time customer at this restaurant, we didnt really know how it works. Our waitress was fantastic about explaining what to do and how to do it. The guys at the grill were fun to watch, especially when it came to breaking the eggs...my 9-year-old thought that was the best part! You would think that a place like this would be expensive....it really wasnt! For 4 people (3 adults, 1 kidto have unlimited food and drinks was less than $60. Not bad! Definitely a fun experience, the food was delicious, and Im pretty sure we will be going back.

Great service with lots of good food cooked in front of you.

I have been to HuHot a couple of times over the years and have never been impressed. I love the staff as they are very friendly and helpful when trying to select which sauces and combos to choose, but the price for the buffet is too high. I will probably visit a HuHot once every 3 or 4 years as the meals there are not memorable.The opinions stated here are my own and not provided to me by the owner/operator of this establishment. My goal is to provide honest feedback on my experience, and encourage everyone to provide feedback on their experience. Your experience and opinion may differ based on a number of factors. No monetary compensation was received and I was not required to write a positive or negative review.

From creating your own plate, the fun of watching the chefs cook your own creation in a massive round grill, to the asian salad and dessert...quite an experience. Dont forget to touch the bell and hear the cookers scream HuuuuuHOOOOOT. Love it.

Delicious! Choose from several types of noodles, white or brown rice, or zuchinni noodles for a carb free option. Then add your favorite type of meat or tofu. Theres Beef, Pork, Chicken, shrimp and other seafood, sausages and meatballs. Pick and choose from a huge variety of veggies and fruits, then have fun creating your own signature sauce, or follow one of the recipe suggestions for a mouthwatering delicious treat. Because of the high temperature, the sauces will evaporate to some extent so its best to use at least 6 ladles full. I recommend using at least one ladle of oil (sesame, garlic, or chilialso, for best results. The only reason why this isnt a 5 star review is because they no longer have my favorite sauce: Nomads Green Curry.

Loud blaring music, grill cooks banging their spatulas like theyre playing a village drum, and yelling out HUHOT. In what world was this supposed to be a good dining experience? I despise this place!

Nice place to eat. Plenty of selection of meat, noodles, vegetables, and lots and lots of sauces. Anywhere from mild to tangy to Spicy. All you can eat is great and cooks are good at their job. Food is great

Beware of the seafood. Its always super fishy smelling and tasting. Other than that, weve always had a good experience here. Tons of options to choose from (noodles, rice, meat, big variety of vegetables, and several base saucesand the staff is friendly. If you have to wait to have your food cooked, the chefs are usually pretty entertaining to watch. We love to eat here - other than the seafood.
