Mongolian Barbeque

You grab a bowl, pile it high with raw meat, vegetables, and noodles from the buffet stations, then hand it over to the lads working the enormous circular hotplate. It's theatre as much as dinner – watching them toss and flip your custom creation with long chopsticks while the grill sizzles away. The concept might sound gimmicky, but after nearly two decades on Anglesea Street, they've perfected the art of letting punters build exactly what they want. The sauce station is where the magic really happens – mix your own from dozens of options or stick to their house recommendations if you're feeling overwhelmed. At €15-20 for as much as you can reasonably fit in your bowl, it's brilliant value for Temple Bar, especially when you're feeding a crowd with wildly different tastes.
