Huhot Mongolian Grill - Rapid City

We were at the restaurant for thirty minutes before we were able to identify our server, so we resorted to asking for things from whoever passed by until our designated server showed themselves. Once we were able to connect with our server, the service was excellent!

This was the cleanest and best HuHut I have ever been to. The buffet bar was immaculate and the sauces were not spilled everywhere.

I usually enjoy dining at this restaurant. I first tried it in Colorado and was thrilled when a location opened in Rapid City. I don't visit Rapid City often due to living out of town and having kids, so when I had the chance to dine here during a rare visit, I chose Huhot for lunch. The hostess greeted us and seated us promptly, speaking quietly. The restroom always seems a bit dirty, despite appearing clean - perhaps the dim lighting contributes to this feeling. I appreciate the variety of food options available, especially the sauce selection. I am a self-proclaimed "sauce queen" when dining here. However, on this particular visit, the cook seemed to prioritize other customers over me, letting my food sit for a while before adding a lot of water, causing it to become bland and soupy. Despite asking for more sauce, it didn't improve the taste. I was disappointed with my meal and hope that my next visit will be better, although based on other reviews, it may not be.

The food is subpar as the meat that is provided for choice at the self-serve bar is dry and unappetizing after receiving it back once cooked. It's apparent the location is older with outdated decor. The management and server encountered at this time were the bright spots of the visit as their customer service was far exceeding the atmosphere and food quality provided.

Waitress tended to forget about us quite a bit never asked if we wanted anything else until we were ready for our check. , and got charged dinner rates even though we were there before dinner times.
