The Mongolian Kitchen

Tribal and nomadic, the ancient Mongols of the 12th Century were the most feared warriors in Central Asia. Many say that they derived their incredible strength and stamina because of their natural diet. With no home to speak of, the land was their provider.

During this time the Mighty Kublai Khan (Genghis Khan) and his fierce warriors ravaged these lands for territory and riches. They reaped the lands of Asia and horded the treasures of humanity, the souls of the weak, and the feasts of Champions…

Hunters of the day and gluttons of the night, these gladiators of the East were often on the move. They fought for long periods of time, under pressure and on the run. They often camped along the great river Khan-Balik as their source of refreshment, but hunted the lands and livestock of surrounding villages and forestry for the banquets they prepared during every meal.

They would gather on the banks of the great river, and feasted together in celebration of their hard fought glory. They would commune in banquet style pavilions and prepare large quantities of various foods to choose from. They would prepare vegetables, fruits, spices, herbs, sauces and long, thin slivers of meat from their days of hunting. These slivers of meat were carved from the carcasses of the day's hunt by the very swords and knives they fought with, slicing and dicing their evening's meal.

They piled their food high upon their war shields, and cooked them over large bonfires on a hot griddle. This stir fry style feast, became a natural way of eating from day to day for these hardened people with their fast-paced lifestyle.

Why Mongolian You Ask?

In today's specialized dining market, and with the proliferation of "Themed Restaurants", consumers have more dining options than ever before. Retailers and property owners are also feeling the pressure to provide the public with creative dining options that draw traffic. On the surface, the options seem to be endless. But a closer look often reveals a curious pattern. Whether it be a Free Standing location, a Retail Restaurant Pad, or a Retail Mall Food Court, the options are often the same: Chinese fare, Mexican food, Burgers and Sandwiches, BBQ Style Grills, or Pizza and Italian food. That's it. You can slice it, dice it, and put a fancy bow on it, but it's basically all the same and often very predictable. Consumers want options, and they demand choice. By adding Mongolian BBQ to an existing Food Court or a Free Standing restaurant location, retailers will greatly enhance the diversity of an existing Food Court by creating another dining option for their customers.

Mongolian BBQ Offers Diversity In Dining

Mongolian BBQ is a completely different spin on dining. In many ways, Mongolian BBQ is its own dining genre. It's so unique and customer interactive that it offers a curious diversion to the restaurant monotony that plaques most consumers. As stated in Franchise Times in 2002, according to one industry expert, this new and exciting style of customer interactive dining has "High entertainment value".

Freshness You Can See And Taste

In today's Fast Casual dining segment, Fast, Fresh, Healthy, the comers tones of "Fast Casual" fare, seem to be convenient advertising messages, rather than substantive claims. To this end, Mongolian BBQ is truly unique. Fresh raw cut vegetables prepared daily, butcher quality lean meats, no deep fry, grease, lard, or pre-cooked preparations. Every meal we serve is cooked to perfection right in front of the customer. The freshest available ingredients straight from the customers bowl, to the grill, and to the plate in just under 2 minutes. Now that's Fast, that's Fresh, and that's Healthy.

Mongolian BBQ Delivers Customer Value

Our customers love the hands on approach and creative control. The idea that "I made my meal", and to watch our customers boast about how good it is, is amazing to witness. One only needs to observe our biggest fans, children. To watch their faces light up with excitement as their creation sizzles on the grill, is to understand the fun and unique dining experience that Mongolian BBQ customers have come to enjoy.

Mongolian BBQ customers are very loyal. Not only do we offer the one time transient shopper a creative dining diversion, but most of our regular customers dine weekly, if not, multiple visits per week. It's not like you can find a Mongolian BBQ on every other corner. Mongolian BBQ brings your retail location the kind of uniqueness. A destination restaurant that draws local customer traffic is a big plus for any retail location.

Perceived Value - Our customers love the freedom of choice and individuality that enables them to create their own unique meal. In their eyes, they own the grill.

It's clean, creative, family fun. Mongolian BBQ creates a sense of adventure. With a warrior's appetite and an explorer's curiosity to discover and exciting new treasure, our loyal customers are thrilled to shared their new discovery with all of those who will listen.

Mongolian BBQ Captures Untapped Market Potential

Market niche specialization is the key to Mongolian BBQ's market success and profitability. Limited competition within the Mongolian food genre, keeps Mongolian BBQ at the top of the casual dining market in consumer positioning. Limited competition and market saturation gives Mongolian BBQ unlimited growth potential.

Our product specialization and buffet style concept help to reduce our labor and inventory costs. This enables Mongolian BBQ to deliver great returns on our restaurants with excellent unit economics and above average restaurant sales volumes.

Mongolian BBQ's unique positioning and distinctive concept allows us to stand out from the crowd. With our focus on specialization, doing one thing and doing it very well, Mongolian BBQ creates its own unique niche within the casual dining restaurant segment.

Operations Lean & Mean

Because of our high level of customer interactivity, our customers control their own individual pace of dining. The efficiency of our business modem reduces the size of the staff needed to serve our customers, while maintaining our high quality meals and unique dining experience. This in turn helps to reduce the variable labor costs associated with full service restaurants.

Our restaurants are designed to address the ergonomics of efficient customer flow from beginning to the end. The natural transitions from our produce bar to the exhibition kitchen and grill preparation area, creates a seamless flow in order to facilitate constant movement and customer interaction.

In high traffic retail locations, or at peak rush hour periods, our Master Grill Chefs operating at full capacity have the ability to turn out anywhere from 180 to 200 plates per hour. (2 Grills) Although most potential restaurant locations don't have that kind of volume or customer traffic, property managers can rest assured that Mongolian BBQ can design kitchen requirements to meet or exceed any potential volume concerns associated with high traffic locations.

Your senses will become highly aroused at the bright contemporary décor, artistic lighting, clean crisp modern design, our massive 8-foot flat grills, our stadium kitchen preparation area, and our inviting buffet style produce bar.

You'll smile from ear to ear with delight as your own unique and individual creation snaps and sizzles on the grill, sending a rush of well seasoned steam skyward, filling the air with a heart stopping and mouth watering aroma that needs to be experienced rather than described. As you watch our Master Grill Chefs put the finishing touches on your Feast, much like the ancient Mongol warriors, you'll bask in the warmth and celebration with your fellow warriors, telling stories of hard fought battles and adventures to come, mixed with warm smiles, laughter, and friendly conversation to create a truly festive dining experience.

Our History

With the successful opening of the first Wok-N-South Mongolian BBQ in Thousand Oaks California in 1998, founders Todd Campbell and Oscar Santana have continue to create and reshape the Mongolian BBQ vision. The original 1,100 sq. ft. store was quickly renovated and expanded to 2,800 sq. ft. to accommodate the legions of loyal customers that contributed to the steady growth of the restaurant. In 1999 the vision continued with the opening of Wok-N-South Mongolian BBQ #2 in Ventura California. The 5,000 sq. ft. seating area and floor plan provided the opportunity to expand the kitchen area and food bar to accommodate a higher volume of customers, as well as introduce additional menu items while expanding the food bar offerings. With the success of the Ventura location, and the relationships forged with our customers at the two locations, we began to discover that many of our customers were in fact driving as much as 20 to 30 miles just to enjoy our food. In order to accommodate and further expand Mongolian BBQ's popularity, restaurant #3 was opened in Camarillo, California in 2004. With 4,200 sq. ft. and an eye on the future, the management team introduced a new architectural concept incorporating a bright modern look, a new color scheme, an open bar area, and adding an extra 8-foot flat grill to handle the additional volume. With a new look and an improved ergonomic design, Wok-N-South #3 is well on the way to breaking all existing sales records for the company while forging a new legion of loyal and devoted customers.

With the growing popularity of our restaurants and desire to share our Mongolian BBQ vision with customers from all walks of life, the future for Mongolian BBQ is shining brightly indeed. With additional Mongolian BBQ locations slated for Hawaii, Las Vegas, San Diego, Valencia, and the San Francisco Bay Area, Mongolian BBQ is poised to introduce its delicious food and unique dining concept to future Mongol warriors for years to come.
