Hoja Mongolian Grill

Everyone knows that downtown is the place to go for great food, inviting ambiance and friendly people. It’s where you’ll find Hoja Mongolian Grill, known for its healthy, fresh food, made right before your eyes.

One of the reasons for Hoja Mongolian Grill’s popularity is that customers custom design their meal to their liking. You choose the ingredients from a fresh, whole-food buffet, then choose your own flavor combination with the sauce bar. Take your creation to Hoja’s chef, and watch as he cooks your meal on the restaurant’s famous Mongolian grill — a grill so hot it requires little oil and little time to create a sizzling plate of fresh food.

In addition to the main course, Hoja also serves fresh homemade Mongolian hot pot soup and a delicious selection of desserts.
