Last night was my 2nd Genghis Grill experience. My first experience was at Tempe Marketplace a year or so ago and I made my bowl almost too spicy to eat. I vowed to return for another stab at it but my 2nd trip wasn't much better. I find this place to be way too complicated. The ingredients look fresh and plentiful, but:\n\n- how much of those powders and salts should I include?\n- do I crack the egg myself or bring them to the grilling station and have the chef do it for me?\n- how much of the sauce should I put in the cup as to not have my dish overly spicy or overly sauced?\n\nI much prefer YC's. They don't have the array of ingredients, but the whole experience is better. You get a bigger bowl, soup, ice cream, refill your own soda, and somehow your bowl is ready 10 minutes faster than at Genghis. Plus the sauces aren't as heavy so you can pretty much guess how much to put in your bowl.\n\nWell I guess a plus to Genghis is that they have alcohol and from the looks of it some pretty good happy hour specials....$1 saki anyone?\n\nHowever, on this trip, we received excellent service. I'm guessing he was the owner or manager. Anyway, he was awesome and friendly. He looked like Danny McBride which was a plus.
