Good for the price, 2 adults with sodas and 1 kid menu $45.09. The concept is different, you have a bowl with all the veggies that fit inside: noodles, pasta, onion, green onion, mushrooms, zucchini, broccoli, bell peppers, … For the protein, you have a smaller bowl: beef, pork, chicken, tofu, salmon, … You also need to choose a sauce. Everything is cooked on a central hot grill. They give you also as a side rice or fried rice and a bread. The waitresses are fast and the cooks are friendly!

Khans is worth the plane ticket home to eat at. Good food that's well cooked. Good service by attentive and friendly staff.

I have been eating at Khan's for almost 20 years at least monthly. I have almost always had a good experience. There is rarely a wait. The food, service and atmosphere are all great. When you arrive, you are greeted by a server within moments to find a table to your preference and take your drink order. I like the fact that I can get a nutritionally well-rounded meal with fresh ingredients. The ingredients bar is kept clean with good variety of noodles, veggies and meats to choose from. The seasoning bar also has a good selection of flavor. This most recent visit was great. The cook was upbeat and cooked it just right. I almost always get sesame oil and the "House" sauce extra spicy. This time was no exception. Our server was very friendly and attentive. She kept our drinks full and always had a glowing smile. She kindly offered to-go drinks when we finished our meal. My only disappointment was that the prices continue to slowly creep up. I know inflation plays a factor. Despite this, I believe we get our moneys worth. The plates are generous and will leave you feeling more than satisfied. This was the emptiest I've ever seen Khan's during regular dinner hours, even for Monday evening.

A true RGV staple. If you’re a valley native and have never been to khans… get up right now and go. If you’ve never been to khans here’s how it goes: You walk in, a host greets you and explains that you will grab two bowls: a large bowl for your noodles and veggies, and a small bowl for your meats. You then go cafeteria style choosing your pasta, veggies, meats. All of these ingredients are raw. Then you go over to the spice bar, where you can season your bowls with all types of spices. After than you go over to the grill, in which your food will be cooked. You will choose what type of oil you want your food to be cooked in, along with the sauces you would like. The variety is amazing. You can add shrimp and egg too. Then you can order for there or to go; I always order to go because I never finish my plate (you will be seated either way so doesn’t matter). Then you will be given the choice of white or fried rice. Either is good. The food is fresh, the cooks are so nice, the selection of ingredients is great! The sauces offer such a great variety of flavors. I love spicy so I go with Mongolian dragon and spicy dragon. I just love khans, need to get the shirt next time. It’s honestly such s reliable meal, like I never have had a bad experience at khans.

I love coming here from out of town! The food is delicious, with a wide selection of proteins and veggies to make any kind of stir fry you can think of. The staff were very friendly, from the host offering us our tables and providing drinks/appetizers, to the cooks offering us recommendations and taste tests before they cooked our food. Before this last visit, I had very fond memories of my high school football team hanging out here for the great portions and vibe of the place

Made to order. You choose your veggies, noodles, oil, seafood, beef, chicken, tofu, seasonings etc. You take it to the grill and watch them cook it.
