Three Flames Mongolian Bar-b-q

Barbara, the owner and chef of The Flames is a one-woman whirlwind of awesomeness. She cooks everything by hand and it is AH-mazing! I've had Mongolian barbecue, but nothing of this quality and caliber. My fiancé and I decided on the chicken and between the mound of vegetables and sauces, just wow! Be forewarned, it's just her in the restaurant and no one else, so when it's busy it can be a bit of a wait, but believe me it's worth every moment. This is one of those LA gems that one hopes stays local-supported, yet I want everyone to try this place. And Barbara is a wonderful lady. She's not bragging when she tells you how good her cooking is, because it's the TRUTH!

If you're looking for a dining experience that combines ambiance, service, and exceptional food, look no further than Three Flames Mongolian Bar-B-Q. The restaurant's cozy ambiance, adorned with Mongolian artifacts, created a warm and inviting atmosphere. The service was prompt and attentive, and the staff was eager to share their knowledge of Mongolian cuisine. As for the food, it was a revelation! Each dish was bursting with flavors, and the attention to detail in presentation was remarkable. A truly memorable dining experience!

I'm not gonna lie to you. The food can get very expensive really quick. The main question is, 'is it worth it'? Yes. Yes it is. So much so that I am willing to pay that premium for a delicious meal. You simply let the owner of the shop know what two meats you'd like (ask for more if you'd like, but bring your wallet with you), you pick out the vegetables you'd like on your own, and let the cooking commence will all kinds of flavor. If it's busy, service can be very slow. Mainly because the owner handles all the orders and the cooking and the so on and so forth.

Was invited to dinner and ended up at Three Flames Mongolian. It has been in business since 1973, that should be testimony enough. It is located in a small shopping center so keep your eyes open or it is easily missed. Barbra was so nice and accommodating to our party of 4, she collects your requested meat(s) (Chicken, Pork or Beef) then you add your favorite vegetables and sauces and she puts it on the grill adds some of her special sauce and the end results are mouth watering. Stop in for lunch or dinner you will leave with a full stomach and a smile on your face. Until next time Barbra, thank you for a great experience and tasty food.
