Mongo’s Hot Flat Grill is the indoor barbeque that any food enthusiast will love. There are many restaurants at <strong>Jacksonville</strong>’s Landing, but Mongo’s is the only place that embraces international culture with a hint of red, white, and blue. “We try to adopt the Mongolian style food with a true, beachy Floridian feel,” said Mongo’s chef Mischel Coffey. For those not familiar with their culinary arts, Mongolian food preparation is unique and interactive. Much like a Japanese steak house, Mongo’s prepares your food right in front of you on a large hibachi grill. At Mongo’s, you don’t order anything with your waiter or waitress except drinks. In the corner of the restaurant, perpendicular to the grill, sits an icy bar full of raw meats, crisp vegetables, herbs and spices, and tasty sauces. The detailed instructions on the menu explain the interactive process step by step. Renae Ingram The delicious barbecue that is served at Mongo’s Hot Flat Grill is prepared by the quick-cooking, friendly chefs. The first step calls for one empty bowl. This bowl is where all the magic begins. Patrons at Mongo’s get to choose from a barrage of raw meats including beef, chicken, pork and even gator. For all the noncarnivores Mongo’s offers a salad bar and tofu. Once you have selected your meats or substitutes, the second step calls for one ladle of oil. This step is crucial if you don’t want the hot grill to burn your food. At this step one may also select different herbs or spices. Once the oil is applied it is time for the vegetables or seafood! The seafood selection is rather limited; however, the shrimp portions are plentiful and extremely tasty. Toward the end of the bar delicious items like pasta salad or portabella mushrooms will also tempt you. Remember this helpful hint: pick your ingredients wisely. All the food you select to place in your bowl will be cooked together almost like a stir-fry. Just before your bowl ingredients begin to overflow and topple over, bring your masterpiece over to the hot, flat grill. There will be a skilled chef ready to prepare your meal within a matter of moments. Now, the best part of the whole experience; eat! Indulge in the plate of food you have created from scratch. Take in the beautiful view of the St. Johns River as boats and people pass by your second story window. Mongo’s offers all-you-can-eat for just 5 dollars more then one bowl. So loosen your belt and get ready to numb your body by filling your buddha. Mongo’s is an inexpensive way to get out and enjoy our city. With beautiful views, tasteful music, and delicious hand crafted meals, this restaurant is sure to please a wide variety of people.
