Big Wok Mongolian Bar-B-Q: Experience Authentic Mongolian BBQ in Lake Forest

Big Wok Mongolian BBQ in Lake Forest, CA is one of my favorite restaurants. I take my family there to dine in regularly. It allows everyone to choose the food they want, and it's budget-friendly: Lunch Price: • 1 Adult: $18.45 • 1 Kid (6-9 years): $11.45 The space is large, and the dining environment is cozy. They offer disposable gloves for customers to use tongs to choose their food items instead of using their hands directly. After dining in many times, my kids know how to choose the food and some kinds of sauces they like. As for me, I always enjoy starting with a bowl of lamb and another bowl of onion, mushroom, kale, tofu, and noodles. Adding Satya sauce is a must. After the chef cooks the food on a large and sizzling grill, it becomes lamb stir-fried noodles. So tasty. Every visit to Big Wok Mongolian BBQ is a delightful experience. My family all loves the food and always says it's delicious. I'll definitely recommend it to more friends!

Wow! What a find! You'll be SO full after leaving Big Wok!! Only $22 for all you can eat at dinner. Beef, pork, lamb, shrimp, and such a wide variety of vegetables. Lastly, pick you sauce, hand it to the cook and watch him cook your food right in front of you. Bring cash so you can tip the cooks! Give the place a try. You won't be sorry!

Visited for Sunday lunch – first time experience. Impressed with the variety of non-vegetarian options available; however, the vegetarian selection was a bit limited. Really liked the concept of selecting your raw ingredients and having the chefs cook it fresh in front of you – a fun and engaging touch. Surprisingly, the buffet only included noodles and no rice, which felt like a miss. That said, the overall experience was enjoyable and worth trying out.

Brandon is a handsome and well-mannered gentleman. Reyes and other man making the food were happy, making jokes, it was a positive atmosphere. Host and cooks had beautiful smiles. Food was really fresh. They had many different oils like curry and lemon. You may chose just water, no oil. But you might prefer adding a little bit of sweet-and-spicy, at least on the side, for flavor. Also, when the meat cooks, it turns small, so get more meat than usual. There is no carry out, so if you order in, you must throw away the leftover. If you order to go, you pay the same amount (it goes by weight). You will get full with half the box (two bowls), and, you can still eat the other half of the box later.

Big Wok Mongolian BBQ is a great place to take family. The food is great, service is wonderful, and there is plenty of parking plus seating. You pick your choices of food into bowls, choose sauces & have it cooked. You can go back as many times as you'd like.

Big Wok is a great all-you-can-eat Mongolian BBQ spot in the Foothill Ranch/Lake Forest area that delivers both quality and value. For just $21, you can enjoy unlimited bowls of meat, shrimp, fresh veggies, and noodles—all customized with your own sauce blend. They even offer sauce combo suggestions to help you find the perfect flavor. Additionally, your meal includes unlimited sesame bread and egg drop soup—the perfect pairing. Once you’ve built your bowl, hand it off to the chefs who stir-fry everything to perfection on a massive circular grill. However, be aware that if a large group shows up, you might hit a 10–15 minute wait in the grill line. Pro tip: grab two bowls at once to cut down on trips and wait time. They also offer alcoholic drinks if you’re in the mood to unwind. Overall, Big Wok is a go-to spot for satisfying (and nostalgic) eats without breaking the bank.
