As a devoted diner stepping into Yuan Palace Mongolian Barbeque, I couldn’t help but begin with the Chef’s Specials—each dish crafted to showcase bold flavors and delicate balance. The Lemon Chicken arrives with a bright, zesty glaze that cuts through the crisp-fried exterior, while the Orange Chicken dazzles with a vibrant sweetness that doesn’t overwhelm. General Tso’s Chicken, deep-fried to a perfect golden, dances between sweet and spicy, coating each bite in a glossy, addictive sauce. Alongside, the Sesame Chicken surprises with its nutty crunch, and the Triple Delight Shrimp combines tender seafood with peppers and onions in a mild, savory stir-fry—a great way to sample a trio of textures.
At the heart of the Yuan Palace experience lies the Mongolian BBQ station. Whether opting for the Dinner or Lunch Special, you’re handed a bowl of fresh meats, veggies, and noodles to toss into the towering grill. It’s a playful twist on dining—each diner’s grill creation is charred to perfection, smoky, saucy, and unmistakably flavorful.
Before diving into mains, the Soup and Appetizers make a compelling entrance. The Hot and Sour Soup bursts with tang and heat, while the Wonton Soup soothes with delicate dumplings in a clear broth. I also loved the Egg Flower Soup, silky and comforting. The Egg Rolls are crisp and hearty, and the Pot Stickers offer a satisfying chew with a juicy pork filling.
For meat lovers, the Beef section boasts options like Beef with Scallion, sweet Beef with Snow Peas, and a fiery Kung Pao Beef—each uniquely marinated and expertly stir‑fried. Poultry fans will find the tender Moo Goo Gai Pan, crunchy Kung Pao Chicken, creamy Chicken with Cashew Nuts, and classic Sweet and Sour Chicken. Seafood selections shine too: the Yuan Special blends shrimp with mixed vegetables; Sweet and Sour Shrimp is glossy and tangy; and both Kung Pao Shrimp and Shrimp with Cashew Nuts impress with nutty spice and crisp veggies.
Vegetarians won’t be disappointed—Mixed Vegetables are bright and fresh, while the Spicy Mapo Tofu offers a warming, silken bite. The staple trio of starch choices—Chow Mein, Lo Mein, and Fried Rice—comes loaded with your choice of protein or in combination style, each offering comforting starch soaked with wok-char flavors.
To wash it all down, simple soft drinks like Coke, Sprite, or Dr. Pepper offer a refreshing counterpoint. Overall, Yuan Palace Mongolian Barbeque delivers a mosaic of flavors that cater to any craving—whether you’re after fiery spice, satisfying sweetness, or smoky grill goodness.
