Mongolian Wok specifics

[pamrose228]

I know what the concept is.....protein, veggies,noodles and sauce all your choice, and then they stir fry it for you. Been to other ones and I love it. Can anyone tell me what veggies they offer, in particular I love Asian type veggies (bok choy, bean sprouts, chinese cabbage, waterchestnuts, bamboo shoots) do they offer these or the usual broccoli, carrots, peppers, peas and corn only?

 

Also can you get it stire fried with no sauce or on the side?

 

TIA

[nyc12345]

Not sure about the Splendor, but on the Breeze, the vegetables are the standard carrots, mushrooms, corn, peppers...

 

I think you can ask for no sauce.

I also remember at least two different noodles, onions, and bean sprouts being on there.....it was quite good.

I've also seen spinach, waterchestnuts, bok choy and nappa cabbage.....along with the standard veggies. But not on every ship! :cool:

 

Remember the proteins change daily too ;)

So maybe since NYC has many Asian markets we will get some of these goodies. I really can't stand American type vegetables in my Chinese food.

 

As far as proteins as long as there is a seafood daily, I'm fine. What sauce is the LEAST salty/

Have never seen the proteins change always beef ,chicken ,shrimp and pork when I have had it. Maybe like every other thing nothing consistent :)

What I meant was they change day to day. They only offer two on any given day. ;)

The Mongolian Wok is my favorite place to eat on the ships that have it. They also offer calamari and mussels on certain days. The ones I've been on have had 3 choices each day for the protein. So, it appears that each ship is different.

You may be thinking of the fish and chips upstairs in the buffet

[KillaFee]

Do they ever have tofu as a protein? It would certainly make sense since it's Asian inspired and they eat a ton of it. I'm thinking they don't because it might not appeal to the masses, but being authentic wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing!

Anyone?

Nope, I've had calamari and mussels at the Mongolian Wok on the Magic, the Freedom and the Splendor. I went to Fish & Chips upstairs on the Freedom one time, that was enough for me.

I guess its a Conquest class thing ,that's usually what we cruise

 

We learn something everyday :)

[michelle1836]

so if I can ask, how does it work exactly? get in line, and then what? also, which sauce is the least spicy!

 

OP-thanks for asking!

Buffet type line ,grab your veggies and noodles when your turn hand the plate to the chef and pick your protein if you want and they fry it up for you in the sauce you pick

Would they lightly saute it with a little garlic if i requested?

I have become uber picky in my middle age for health reasons and digestive ones. I don't know how many times I've ordered things, looked at it and pushed it away.

 

I wish they had lobster as a protein:D

We have seen Calamari & Mussels on the Liberty & the Glory (twice) so it is definitely available one the Conquest class ships.

 

OP you can totally do no sauce if you want, I did that for my neice, just noodles and veggies for her.

 

Sauce ranked by spiciness:

 

Szechuan (hot)

 

Thai BBQ (mild)

 

Black Bean (very mild)

Those are listed in "spicey" order.

Black bean has no spice at all....szechuan is the hottest and DH orders it "extra hot" :eek:.

I miss the teriyaki that they used to have - because it was a little sweet with no spice! :(

Thanks .... sounds like Szechuan is what I will want next time.

It's so crowded and rushed, it's hard to know what to order.... :rolleyes:
