You can order from a menu at Genghis Grill but it’s a treat to build your own bowl.
This stir-fry restaurant is part of a large chain but the South Reno location, at 191 Damonte Ranch Pkwy., was the first Genghis Grill I’d ever encountered.
Genghis Grill is unique because you can truly customize your bowl. For starters, you’re not limited to just one type of protein or the portion size of protein that goes into your bowl. You can dish up a variety of meats or seafood — including some unexpected choices like pepperoni or sausage. (Just leave enough room in your bowl for your other ingredients!)
There are also dozens of options among the seasonings, fruits, vegetables and sauces that you can put into your bowl. This is a real draw if you’re trying to boost your consumption of produce or control how much sodium goes into your food. And you won’t get stuck with an ingredient you loathe. In my case, that would be baby corn.
Next, you take your bowl of goodies and your sauce selection to the stir-fry station and request the starch of your preference — white or brown rice, Udon noodles, spiral pasta or tortillas.
On our recent visit, my husband and I both ordered noodles. I loaded my bowl with shrimp, tofu and veggies.
My husband’s bowl featured chicken, pork, pulled pork and veggies. (We liked the Prepare to Attack wrapper from the fork and napkin, as seen from behind this bowl. The Genghis Khan theme at this restaurant is silly, but a kid at a nearby table seemed amused by banging a gong while her mom stared at her iPhone.)
Appetizers and “bottomless bowls” are also available at Genghis Grill but the regular-sized bowl is pretty satisfying. Note: Take-home containers are not available with the bottomless bowl, for reasons that should be obvious.
The atmosphere at Genghis Grill is casual and service is quick and friendly.
By signing up for Khan’s Klub, you’ll get e-mails about promotions such as “kids eat free” days, as well as a free birthday bowl. Genghis Grill also offers nutrition information online, so you can plan ahead if you’re trying to eat healthy.
