Wonderful it’s a little hard to find parking but service was great. Got seated immediately. The server explained everything clearly and we didn’t have to ask for her to explain herself again quick I would say 10 out of 10. We’re definitely coming back here again.

Kind of a cool place to do an all you can eat buffet. The chef looks a little bored with the simplicity of a few tosses and done, all day long. Lots of different sauces to try including some of the traditional ones. Make sure you got lots of room for food, perhaps a hollow leg might help, ... you are going to want to get your money's worth. You can tell the people who go often, piles of food on their plates, so funny to watch. Not much service needed if you do some of the work yourself but they were very attentive, no waits. Great food, nice and fresh, clean and organized. Fun to watch and participate 🤔

Like the make yourself concept, but the buffet of selections were wanting and of inferior quality but was reflected in price of 24.00 for all you can eat. So, from a value standpoint, this place is desirable, but if you want something to impress, then go elsewhere.

Very nice lunch. Though a bit pricey. Everything on the menu could've been priced anywhere from 3-8$ less than it is. There is no place or reason to charge 4.50$ for a can of pop or a coffee. A single ounce of liquor was 10$ I believe. A double was 18$. If I'm off in my recall...I'm pretty sure I'm not too far off from the absolutely ridiculous menu pricing. I enjoyed the food very much. My lunch was 25.90$ I believe. I tipped 4.10$ to round to 30$. Way too much for lunch where i only drank water.

Could not be more angry, or feel more disrespected and humiliated. I went for lunch with my folks today, we found the price had gone up to $24 a person for Fri sat and sun, steep but not ridiculous. The food as always was good, we have been there together before. I was permanently disabled 18yrs ago , my disability was reacting and I was in pain and having a lot of trouble enjoying my meal. I had eaten most of my first and only plate and decided I had just had enough. The waitresses was clearing our table, my folks had finished their plates and wanted more, I put my napkin on my mostly eaten plate and told her I was finished too. She stops and tells me because I didn't finish my plate my meal will be $34 at the till. I told her I didn't want to take the little bit with me, she explained that it doesn't matter, there is a $10 charge because I didn't finish the plate I paid $24 for. I told her that I have a medical condition that is affecting my ability to finish , she looked at us and said, it doesn't matter. It will be $34. I made sure she understood it was my first plate, that I hadn't used the all i can eat option, I stopped at 1 plate. that it was less than 20% of a plate of food. I was clear with her that I stopped eating because of my disability. She said to me i needed to continue to eat mouthfulls untill i was told i ate enough to not be charged.i was left with forcing myself to eat what I didn't want while suffering a medical condition because I refused to pay extra for it . It was disgusting behavior from hoja. We will never be back. Shame on you.

This place is fun to experiment different foods and flavours. They have all you can eat buffet with a bunch of different veggies 🥗 , meats 🍗 , seafood 🦞, sauces and variety of noodles and rice. You can mix and match the combinations in a bowl 🍲 and hand it to the chef for preparation. Pretty interesting and playful when u go with a bunch of friends! Taste depends on the combinations that you choose. So, all the best! 😄

The food is good. Kind of pricey for 1 plate (~$20 for dinner n unlimited ~$25) Variety of sauce to select from. Staff very friendly n nice. Personally won't go again for the grill food. Better option are available.

Nice Mongolian place in downtown. They don't charge by weight which is good but they do charge $5 if you leave a decent amount of food on your plate after. It's buffet had a good selection of veggies. The beef was a bit dry though even after adding lots of sauce. Staff were nice and attentive. Food didn't take long to cook and you can see them cook it right in front of you. Will go back next time I'm in town

An all-you-can-eat restaurant costs $28.49 per person for dinner and from Friday to Sunday the other days costs $22. The place is not perfectly clean, but the cuisine on this huge round plate is very fascinating. You choose what to eat from the food counter and he cooks it for you at the moment, noodles, vegetables, meat or fish and sauces. Recommended value for money Vegetarian options: You can eat noodle vegetables and fish Wheelchair accessibility: Yes

My wife and I love it here! The staff are always polite and make us feel welcome. The food is excellent and the chefs who prepare it do a wonderful job!

December 22, 2023

Today, I had a not good experience. I came to the restaurant before 4 pm then I already ask the server what was my menu cause I didnt see any seafood on food counter . She told me it was the lunch menu. After eating my food, seafood was coming. Then, when I got the bill, she told me I had to pay dinner menu cause she didnt have any options on the system after 4 pm. So I just wonder why she didn t put my bill before 4 pm. I thought she lied to me. I can wait until 4 pm to eat dinner instead of lunch and pay for my meal with the dinner price.

December 22, 2023

We just came here at the lunch time around 3:45 and did not has any food on the dinner meal at that time. We asked the server to make sure and she confirm that we have lunch menu. But when we finish and going to pay, she charge us the dinner amount and she explains that it automatically because the system was change the time????? What? I think you should be careful when come to have food at this restaurant, so bad. Few dollars is not a big deal with us but this is totally lier to customer.

We asked the server for reassurance and she confirmed that we had a lunch menu. But when we finished eating and went to pay, she charged us for dinner and she explained that it was automatic because the system changed the time. Stay away from this restaurant its really bad!!!!!!!!!

Ive eaten at five different Mongolian grill type restaurants mostly in Toronto and still I was delighted to discover that Kamloops had one. It was the first restaurant I ate at since moving here. One price, and you get to pick the ingredients that they cook on the big grill. As many bowls as you like. Not quite as large a selection as the Toronto grills, however if you didnt compare, youd love this place on its own merit. I had the pork and it was delicious. Next time Ill try the beef or the chicken or both.

Ohmygosh, each time I visit I have to be rolled away from the table. I love the mongolian grill / buffet style. The hardest part is remembering what sauce I used the last time and how much. BTW, their margaritas are top notch. See you guys soon, youre one of my favourites.

December 22, 2023

Forget things like sauces and upcharge the heck out of them when theyre free with your meal if you eat in - paid $10 extra for sauces and they only gave us one tiny servings like droplets.... asked for peanut sauce and they gave peanuts instead. Super annoying.

This has always been a family favorite ever since they opened up downtown Kamloops years ago. You can select the ingredients you prefer to make a customized meal. Vegetables, proteins, carbs, sauces and even garnishes/seasonings are available for your ideal stir-fry. Theres an all-you-can-eat style buffet or a menu if youd rather order something made by the in-house chef. Staff is attentive and its always clean.

There are relatively few choices for lunch. The meat we had for lunch was pork + chicken + mutton, and some vegetables + noodles. You took a bowl and took it to the chef. The chef cooked it for you on an iron plate. The price is not expensive, but it is just enough to fill your stomach. It is not recommended to go during the epidemic because 1. It is a bit unhygienic. I saw that the chef went to stir-fry without sanitizing his hands after going to the bathroom. Everyone touched the tongs of the ingredients and the bowls that everyone took. The chef directly put it on the iron plate, which is very viral. Easy to spread 2. I feel that this method is a bit inconvenient. When you give the chef your ingredients, it is easy for people to get confused about who is getting what.

★★★

This place is nice. Its basically all you can eat, with you selecting your choice of the ingredients that are there (meat, sauce, vegetables, etc) and then giving it to the chef, wholl stir fry it and give it to you. Another good thing is that in order to reduce wastage, theyll charge you $5 if youve wasted significant amount of food.

Awful. The cook totally ignored my request to keep my food away from the other (seafood) dish he was cooking. Didn t reply to me. Just ignored me. Then he burned the meal to a crisp. Then charged $10 for my daughter and I as an overcharge for not eating enough. Don t go here. It s awful from start to finish.

The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. They cleared the table often and wanted to ensure we were comfortable. The food was tasty and well prepared. Drinks were a whole other experience. The only local beer option was incredibly expensive. $11.95 for a local beer that I could get fresh from the brewery a block away for $6.75? That is nuts! We ended up ordering caesars that didnt taste like anything but V8 with ice.

The worst service Ive ever had!

December 22, 2022

Im only giving one star because zero is not an option. I went to this low budget establishment the other night and received the worst service ever for a $25 stir fry that I made myself. (They were too cheap to reprint menus regarding their recent price hike so they put white out on the existing menus to display the jump) I only made one dish but wasnt feeling well so I wanted to take it home and not waste food and they told me the only container they would provide would cost me an extra $5 (on top of a $25 stir fry I MADE MYSELF) and that it wouldnt fit my food so that would be thrown away. In this economy why are we encouraging people to waste food? Get gouged more or or the perfectly good food that you are already paying as much for as at a full service restaurant gets thrown in the trash??? Not a good business model. To top it all off the manager took such offense to my protest to being charged more that he began swearing at us and told us to never come back, not like I would anyway. Save your money and go somewhere with decent service and atmosphere, I felt like I was in a food court

December 22, 2021

Ive had Mongolian grill at many places over the years and this one for sure is THE worst! Typically part of the fun with Mongolian grill joints is to figure out how to fill your bowl as efficiently as possible. Unbeknownst me I assumed this place is legit so I did the same and was able to fill about an extra half a bowl in! The only thing that the waiter said at first was that you fill two bowls and thats it. When I brought the bowls to the front, well, bait and switch! They insisted on charging me for FOUR bowls because anything extra is a new order. I would have simply walked out but I was in a rush. Long story short, terrible place and terrible customer service!!! I do not even want to get into how the waiter punched in 20% tip for himself on my friends order.

Fantastic joint with amazing food. A bit pricey, so tend to get t/o or eat weekdays at lunch time. Still one of my favourite places in town.

Pretty okay place. The food was good but a little bit expensive for what you get. I would be happier with this place if it had more sauce (currently only has 6 - 9 ) and a sauce guide. (The sauce makes the dish and its easy to get it wrong). If they fix that would be a 4.5.

Remedial understanding of science and health guidelines as it relates to Covid 19, which tells me that likely extends to taking short cuts in other areas of health compliance.

Great food loved going there but never will again due to refusal to follow public health guidelines regarding COVID. Way to do to spit in the eye of our brave doctors and nurses.

Took my boys out for their buffet and a bubble tea. The show was great as the Chef flipped some dishes and chopped and tossed around our some food before serving it. Will be going back for more.

Great food and always fun to pick your own ingredients for the perfect stir fry. Fabulous to support a business standing up for the rights of clients to choose their own mt. Thanks for the great stirfrys where no two are ever alike.

Food was exceptional. My girlfriend and I were able to try this out for the first time today, and the chef did an excellent job. Food was magnificent and it only took 2 minutes to prepare. There were a number of types of sauces to garnish the dish with, and peanuts as well as crispy onions were options too. Great establishment.

As promised: a review. Going for a bit of a redemption story here. Ill begin with yesterday. My fiancee and I decided to order takeout for lunch. Now, to begin, my fiancee is autistic and hard of hearing. The stress of being outside along with the changes in the restaurant left them very overwhelmed by the situation. When we were ordering our meals, they were using sign language, I was trying to translate and pay attention to my order and theirs all at once. All in all we felt rushed and the situation became very stressful for my fiancee. In all of this, I failed to notice my takeout order was only half full. After some back and forth on social media, the restaurant took accountability for their part of the miscommunication and offered me a free takeout order in recompense. I returned tonight and found the staff to be much more receptive and apologetic for the experience we had. They took their time and we were able to proceed in a very orderly fashion. As a whole, the restaurant has regained my respect and appreciation. A big thank you goes out to the Hoja team for being accountable and as always providing excellent food at a good price. (As an added bonus they also have a good range of gluten free options!)
