Mongolian BBQ

In the heart of Dublin’s Temple Bar, Mongolian BBQ has been family-run since 1996, serving a distinctive, hands-on way to dine. Guests compose their own bowls from a vibrant buffet of fresh ingredients — meats, seafood, tofu, noodles and a rainbow of vegetables — then tailor the flavour with fresh herbs, spices and house sauces.

The theatre is all at the cast iron grill, where the team sears each creation in minutes as aromas rise and spatulas dance. Once cooked, extra sauces and toppings await for a final flourish. The mood is casual and engaging, with the sizzle of the hotplate and the pleasure of watching ideas turn into supper right before their eyes.

Fresh, simple and healthy is the order of the day, with unlimited returns for those keen to explore, or a swift one-bowl option at lunch. Backed by over 2,000 five-star reviews, it is a local favourite for flavour on each diner’s terms. A stellar pick for lively lunches or easygoing evenings; the grill is hot, the choice is theirs, and second helpings are all part of the fun.
