Delicious. Cheap. Tons of food. Clean. Friendly.
The food here is pretty good but one of the best parts is just the sheer amount of food you can get, I usually come here for dinner and save half for lunch and im always full both times I don't have to hold back just because I'm saving the other half. And besides that it tastes great! Love coming here
The best!! So much food, such good value, and excellent quality food! My abdolute Favorite, I eat here atleast twice a week, if youve been here than you understand, If you havent, you wont regret it!
A Feast Fit for a College Student. For less than $10 you can pack a bowl full with as much meat, veggies, and sauce as you like. Then have it cooked and pile on a bunch of rice. This will definitely provide leftovers for at least another meal. The ingredients are high quality and their chefs skilled, so your meal will turn out to be quite delicious. Despite being tucked away north of 45th, this is a worth a try!
AMAZING!. This place is such a find! We stumbled upon it when we were wandering the U District one weekend. We were sick of trying to get everyone to agree on a place, so someone just walked in here and the group followed. LIttle did we know we were in for such a treat! And you dictate the portion size...as little or as much as you can pile on your plate. Definitely a winner! It's a favorite!
Love the service, the guy is super nice, and I can take my dog in and sit in the small closed off area, which is a plus. Fresh food - I pay by the pound so I can take home left overs, all you can eat - you can't take home leftovers
This place is really good. Your meal is very customizable, and the noodles are very cheap. I recommend paying for the $2 noodle bowl that lets you add as many noodles as you can fit in the bowl. You can definitely get a vegetarian meal here, but should not go if you can't eat things cooked with utensils that have touched meat. The actual location is very nice too. I love coming here with a group of friends!
This is the first Mongolion Grill restaurant I've ever been to. I liked it a lot. You get a bowl, fill it up with meats and veggies you want, throw some sauce on it, then hand it to one of the chefs who cooks it all. The selection of ingredients and sauces is excellent.
Nice place, good food. Can't go wrong here.
Possibly the ave's best kept secret. Something about the facade of the building makes it blend. You wouldn't even think it's a restaurant. Plus the name/sign doesn't clue you in either.
Just by sheer quantity per price, it blows any competitor out of the water. I paid $12.95 and walked out with, no joke, 5 lbs. of food. I ate off of it for at least three days. I don't even know how that results in economic gain for a business, but no complaints there.
Then when you choose what goes into your dish, in a sort of a cold buffet style (like most Mongolian grills), you're really blown away by the selection of veg and meat options. Lamb, Chicken, and Beef for protein. I'm not going to list all the veggies, but there have to be over 20.
Head over to the cash register (pay by weight and then a flat 2.25 for a huge additional bowl of noodles if you want) to pay before sliding your bowls up on the counter so the cooks can grab them, dump them, and sear it up! The smells are nice and I like to watch the food being cooked.
Things to watch out for:
- The meat rolls at the beginning of the buffet are sliced paper thin, so it results in very little after cooking. Throw a couple extra on there.
- Wheat, or soba style noodles weigh a lot more than rice noodles so if you don't want to pay for the extra noodle bowl and you're trying to smash and cram everything into one, go with the rice ones
- Lots of different types of sauce, but your best bet is the classic Mongolian. It just brings everything together nicely.
- Don't forget peanuts and sesame seeds.
-Free rice?! YES!
Why not 5 stars?
- Something deep inside tells me I could only eat here so many times before getting a foodborne illness (I'll take my chances) because:
- The meat rolls at the beginning are frozen and kept on ice cold stone blocks, but then exposed to constant hot ambient air from the restaurant. Not all of those meats are treated equally and I'm very picky about which ones I grab.
- Similar thing with the veggies which are kept in typical plastic food containers on ice blocks but constantly exposed and uncovered. Plus, bean sprouts. I love me a sprout, but we all remember the string of E. Coli scares years back and I can't imagine a vat of them sitting in tepid water...
- The sauces at the end are kept in closed metal containers, but at an awkward room temperature. I get it: the food's hot so the sauce doesn't have to be, but something just screams unsanitary about room temperature sauces in large quantities sitting for long periods of time.
Those last few things are just me being picky about food safety. Most people would be surprised at what lurks in the kitchens of even the best restaurants, so don't be deterred! Try this place out if you're into Mongolian grill or Asian food altogether.
Great food nice staff. Rest rooms need fixed and now the soda machine is down. So you have to buy a more expensive fountain drink. There is no reason for this with the volume of customers they get
Great deal, quality meat and vegetables. Sauces are pretty bland. Even when using 5x recommended cooking sauces, not as flavorful as ideal. Luckily Sriracha and other sauces taste great after cooking the food.
I will never stop loving this place. This is the perfect hangover food, and a to go box can last you up to 3 days. I never see it super busy, which is a shame, because it's one of the best places in the Udistrict.
Very good food here! Tried it the other day and i love this place went again yesturday. I recommend to everybody to eat here. Plenty of food for the money too. Coconut curry sauce is amazing!! My new favorite place to eat. No one leaves hungry here
I'm standing here on the last business day of Ruzhen. My heart is sad, my tummy happy. Raising rents is forcing them out of business, even though business was pretty good. Just another negative effect of a changing Seattle. Good bye, favorite restraint. Good bye.
The sauces here are great, and the food is cooked very well. The all you can eat is something like 9 bucks, so it's a really good deal.
Good Mongolian grill joint, nothing especially different about this one but they're good. Ruzhen has an all you can eat option and a 1.5lb bowl, which is nice, with the 1.5lb bowl you can get a to go for leftovers.
All you can eat for an incredibly reasonable price. Great selection of ingredients, bonus rice and extra sauces! Can't lose!

I love Ruhzen! So much food for so cheap! I usually get at least 3 meals out of this for only about 10 bucks!
