D.W.'s Grill & Mongolian BBQ

Everyone's been to a Chinese buffet and seen and/or eaten the Mongolian BBQ, whether you know what it is or not you've probably eaten it. You the gig where you fill a bowl or plate with noodles, raw veggies, and a variety of raw meats, you give it to the cook he seasons it some way or another and gives back to you cooked up and ready to eat. Some are better than others, but none are as good as D.W.'s Grill & Mongolian BBQ (1932 Laskin Rd. VA Beach, VA. 23454 757-428-8891). D.W.'s is located on Laskin Rd. in building that use to be a record store and the name has slipped my mind,(if any one knows the name of that former record store please let me know cause it bugs the shizz out of me that I can't remember it)and is a large wide open dining area several tables with both seats and booths, and a bar area that seats about 5 or 6. I have known about this taste bud goldmine for a long time, but it took a while for me to get around to trying it, but once I did it was on like Donkey Kong. I usually like to check it out on Sunday's after a long nite of drinking, it is not only extremely tasty, but it is the super hangover helper. Baller on a budget secret, on Sunday's its a little cheaper than during the week and they include shrimp and bay scallops. Another cool thing about DW's is during lunch you can order unlimited trips or order just one trip(its a few buck cheaper), so you don't leave overly stuffed and you can save a couple bucks too.
To start off with the veggies are always super fresh and never look like they've been sitting around all day. They also have a large selection of meats including beef, pork, chicken (both white and dark meat), lamb, shrimp, scallops, and imitation crab. There is also a variety of sauces for you to season your ingredients with, so if you like it spicy add extra chili oil, heat not your thing there is ginger and sugar waters, minced garlic and many others. I recommend letting them sauce it up for you, I also recommend you shuck and jive yo arse over to the fresh salad bar & grab a few pineapple pieces to get in the mix. Speaking of salad bar it is fully stocked with the usual suspects as well as fruit, they also have selection of sushi (very good for buffet style sushi) and a dessert section to include a variety of PET ice cream cups.
Once the food hits the grill it's on, you catch the smells of goodness and in some cases can catch a pyro show or two. The real deal Asian cooks (not saying they are Mongolian, but at least they Asian unlike most spots where they are Hispanic or Ecuadorian)are their thing while you watch with delight. There is a bottle of god's nectar a.k.a. Sriracha and a can of salted peanuts you can throw on it when the nice chef hands you back your steaming hot plate of deliciousness, this is also a good time to show your appreciation for the chef doing his thing and leave a tip. When you get back to the table you will be greeted with a tasty bowl of egg drop or sweet and sour soup as well as steamed or fried rice and a basket of delicious sesame flatbread. Once you have finished your plate of tasty goodness rip a piece of that flatbread and sop up the sauce like a biscuit to gravy. Then make sure you go back for seconds (not more than you can eat though, remember there are starving kids in China) to try your food with a different variation on the sauce so you can see exactly what level of sauciness you can reach. If your like a friend of mine it's okay to admit that your lazy and just go thru the line once but get enough for 2 trips, that way you don't have to get up and go back thru the line again. Haha gotta love Rock. So make sure you get to DW's for a tasty Mongolian BBQ meal and super friendly staff.

This shizz was definitely the cats pajamas mickey fickey, and I will pass the word about this spot like the collection plate at a Sunday service, and I'll be back like the Terminator.

For sure it is kid friendly

No smoking

  2. Hey, you're giving away all my secrets! HAA!

    Danny is opening another DW's over in Hampton, I think. DW's does Mongolian BBQ the RIGHT WAY. I've eaten Mongolian BBQ all across america, from coast to coast and NOBODY does it better than DW's. You'd be surprised at how a few silly mistakes can ruin a good bowl of Mongolian. DW's always gets everything right. That's what makes them soo good. Rock On Trav!
