It of course bears no relationship to actual Mongolian food. Teriyaki
indeed! It can be good, though. The couple of times I went it was fun to
watch the gluttons. The pricing was by the bowl - you could get 1, 2, or 3
empty bowls and fill them with ingedients from a buffet, then take then to
be cooked. Some people were quite adept at getting the most amazing towers
of food in a bowl.
