The service was great and the food was exactly what can be expected from a buffet. My son absolutely loved the pancakes and Ice cream station.
I have been to the Takapuna branch which recently closed permanantly, multiple times but it was my first visit here. Wide range of meat, seafood and vegetables. And I like the icecream and the pancakes they cook for us on the spot if we ask.
The staff here were great. The food was delicious but because it wasn’t busy and we went later in the night I didn’t feel safe eating some of the meats. We were more looking forward to the pancakes which we only got one serving of because they close down the grill early for clean up. There was some random love decor like we were at a wedding reception? Will be back though because it was only $25 each! Great for a spontaneous night out.
The food was ok but I love the concept! At $25pp I was realistic with my expectations of food quality and I wasn't disappointed at all. Great variety of meats, vegetables, oils and sauces. I like that they have pancake and ice cream options too unlike other buffet places. Good value!
Booked a group of over 20 adults. Had awesome service from staff they were very very patient
-Bartender let us split pay between group. Would definitely come back!!! Thank you God Bless. Very happy customers😊

After my great experience at the Epsom Gengis Khan, I thought I'd try this one in New Lynn with my family as it's closer to home.
First thing I noticed was how cold it was inside - very breezy. The service was great which is what my rating is more so based on. The waiter was attentive in collecting our plates that we were finished with. However the beef tasted a bit off, and the Korean style chicken ran out quick and wasn't refilled.
Wasn't any soap in the bathroom either.
Overall not a bad experience, but would prefer the epsom location for this restaurant.

Customer service was great, the front of house person was a great host. Food was however average, garlic bread and the rest needed replacing.
The selection of hot foods wasn't very big but they also had a few salad options. There was a fair selection of items for the BBQ. Lots of different meats, seafood and veges. It was a bit disappointing that when they ran out they didn't top it up, although it was already fairly late when we started (around 8pm).
Otherwise it didn't take long to get our food cooked by the chef. Tables were cleared when we got back from the next round. The pancake was quite nice and they were able to make Micky mouse pancakes. Nice way to get really full.
We have come here several times. The place is easy to get to in New Lynn and there's plenty of parking nearby. The service has always been with a smile, and the food was fine. It wasn't as busy as the Epsom venue, so if you want to enjoy your meal without the big crowd hassle and waiting forever in long lines, come here. :)
Great service! Great range of meat and vegetable and a nice atmosphere. We got there at 5:30 before the 6 and 7 pm rush hour. Customer service was great and you even get to dine in for free on your birthday! I would recommend this Gengis Khan over the Henderson one, Botany one and the Manukau one. My first 5 star rating on Zomato!!!!!
Great food, succulent meat, cooked to perfection by the Chefs. Great collection of sauces, condiments & oils. Well presented. Great atmosphere, superb service especially by Xiaoyu Pan. Please ask for him by name for a great dining experience.
Great place to celebrate your birthday. Cheers
Went with my family to have dinner, I wish they did lunch too. Kind waiters and waitresses, but really gotta praise the chefs on the BBQ. All three of them were great, doing hard work, but especially the tall man with the snapback cap on, I talked to him but don't remember his name. He was very kind and cooked the best food. Would definitely recommend this restaurant, and if anyone goes, make sure to get your food cooked by the man in jeans with a snapback cap on, and surely tell him that 'Sione said hi' 👋
I have a nice dinner with my best friends and family today, and they like it. The staff there are very good, I think I will came back again.
If you need a place where you get fresh cooked food then this would be the place.
You can pick your own meat sauces and veggies and just pass it to your chef they cook in front of your eyes.
More than BBQ they have simple things like rice with a curry ,noodles salads,soups desserts and more importantly ice cream and Tea.
Well if it's your bday carry your ID along with you the foods on the house around 25 dollars Per Person. Worth it
Yum good variety a bit confused at first bt found our way around. They ran out of choc ice cream bt it was all good. Wd be even better if they offered fruits with the ice cream 😀
My family love this place th kids love th chips and micky mouse pancakes bt it wud be a 5star for me if there were more deserts. The meat is fresh the bbq guys cook it like u want it the variety of side dishes are yum and restocked frequently. Th restaurant is clean customer service is excellent. We always go back.
I've been to three different Gengis Khan Mongolian BBQ buffet and I have to say that this one is the best. All those fresh ingredients in this restaurant are beautiful enough to feast the eyes. As for flavor, I recommend that try to add little sauce on the raw materials or put it in another bowl and ask the chef to barbecue the food first then mix with sauce. In this case, we can enjoy the original taste of the food without being over-seasoning. Compared with other BBQ buffet, the meat in here is more juicy and bigger because every kind of meat are cut by the staffs, not machine.
From tables, chairs and floor to every single plate, knife and fork, I can say nothing but clean and hygiene, which is basic criteria for a restaurant but easily being neglected by others. What I like most is the atmosphere of welcome and comfortable. Every people working in here is usually wearing a smile on the face. I have to admit it's a ideal place for families, friends and lovers.

Last weekend was the third time for me to have dinner here. What has changed? It was not as busy as before--because we came at 8PM already, which is 2 hours before closing time. This is good because there was no "pressure" in filling my bowl for the barbecue. And I think this was the first time for me to really taste what I've put in the bowl.
The downside of coming in close to the end-of-business-day is that one has to "scrape" at the soup pot and all other popular items. :-(
The food? I can only comment on what I ate--I can't try all items in one visit. (Which could mean another visit is necessary).
There were fresh ingredients for the "barbecue". I was able to make a good vegetarian mix. (My husband said he enjoyed the beef and the marinated chicken). The second batch I made (with noodles) was really good. The vegetarian spring rolls were nicely hot and crisp.
The letdown? The broccoli soup tasted like evaporated milk with broccoli flavour. The pumpkin soup was too sweet--or was it really meant to be that sweet? (Please pardon my observation, but I am a soup lover).
The service was good. :-) The decor? A retouch on the wall paint would be nice. And the couch cover could be better--that particular corner looks "neglected". Does this affect dining experience? Yes, it does. :-)
I went to Gengis khan on Valentine's Day with my girlfriend for the candlelight dinner.
Even the candlelight was much different than i imagined, the foods are quiet delicious
.
Their staff cooked the dishes i chose in front of me so that i could smell the aroma of them. Foods there were still fresh and I prefer their BBQ fish (that tasted amazing with your owen choose sauces). Also, their service were nice. All of their staff were smilling all the time, that made me feel so kind. I and my girlfriend really enjoyed their foods and we planed to go their again~~~
A great place for groups and families, very delicious food, cooked nicely. However, the topping up of the buffet needs to be improved. When it is busy and they have ran out of something, it is never attended to as a priority. Do enjoy the option for outdoor and indoor seating.
great place to go with friends, their food is fantastic and delicious. there are also Icecream and pancake available, good place to eat in winter.
great food，fresh meats, great services,I like all the staff. I had a very wonderful birthday party in here. I will come back soon.yummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm! ! !
Well worth the money if you are out to celebrate a special occasion- went for a "Signed contract for first job" celebration. Lovely service and very attentive waiters who will swoop down on your used dishes like vultures (in a good way).
Worth the experience if you have never been to buffets!
I have been here many times love the place so does everyone i bring along.
The staff are great, the food is tasty, u pick your ingredients and get them to cook it how can u go wrong i think they have a wider range of buffet items than any other genghis khan locations ive been to. The kids love the pancakes but it would be nice if they had more deserts.
Overall a decent place to dine in.
Gengis khan is a great place to go on a budget. Eat as much as you want for the set price. Awesome when you have a boyfriend with a hollow leg as he can literally eat until he is full. The salad bar runs out quite quickly and often needs topping up as there is never much left!! Vegetarian friendly as you can pick your own stir fry however for strict vego's such as my boyfriends mum, her meal being cooker on a hot plate right next to meat was a big no no! I love it though. The pancakes are the goods!!!
Best meal I've ever had in my life. I've been to most Gengis Khan's in Auckland and i must admit that the New Lynn branch is the best. The chefs are all well-trained and professional, the staff are very kind and the food is just perfect! I am planning to go there again soon and i would recommend this restaurant to everybody because the price is really worth the fantastic meal.
Only ever been to the one in wellington. Wasn't let down. Slightly different but still great food and service and the pancakes for dessert are amazing
This place is great, not expensive and the food is tasty given it's cooked right in front of you. Obviously it's not upmarket but I've always enjoyed it for tasty food in a hurry. My only complaint recently is the seats were disgustingly sticky when I sat down. I understand a lot of families dine here with young children but really, to sit on a chair and find your clothes sticking to it is really a big no no. Put me off my dinner. That said I can't fault the friendly staff/ chefs and usually enjoy everything about this place for what it is.
We ate so much, it was painful!!! Lovely service, great food! And byo
Besides lack of parking on site have to park on side street I thoroughly enjoy dining here. Receiving excellent service from the waitresses makes a difference to your overall experience why I rated 5 stars. I like the welcoming laid back atmosphere inside restaurant and highly recommend others to try.
Awesome food and service. Great, polite and friendly staff. My little sister loved it and it was totally fun! It was clean and spacious. A fantastic experience where you can eat as much as you want.
Would highly recommend and visit again. A++
Been to Gengis numerous times & every time has been an exceptional dining experience. Staff are always friendly & welcoming. Chefs are amazing & the food is delicious. Always first choice when considering dining at a buffet restaurant. Highly recommend.
Only one word. Amazing, I wish I had gone earlier. Food was so neat choose it yourself & watch it be cooked by friendly amazing staff, dessert the same not much selection but it is right for the restaurant style we went last night with my partner & can not wait to take my wee girl as I know she will love it. I can also not say enough of your staff they are amazing some of the best hospitality staff I have meet, prompt, friendly, nice & explained everything so well. Recommend so much. Will be bring many more to eat here as well.
Love the food, super great value! went there for my hubby's birthday. Clean. And everything was perfectly cooked. Kids cued up for pancakes and the chefs made cute mickey mouse shaped ones for them. How cool is that? will definitely be back again and recommend this place to anyone that like child friendly restaurants, great food, and good value for money A+.
Thanks so much for a wonderful night :)
We decided on Sunday afternoon to take a group of 10 plus a baby for a meal without making a booking - just before Xmas!
However the staff were very helpful and made us welcome. It had been some time since we had visited GK New Lynn and we were so pleased that we had chosen this particular restaurant. It's a wonderful place for children who feel free to choose what they want and for some people who may eat more than they could afford in another restaurant! The food was fresh and delicious, the service was great and the staff very friendly. I'm looking forward to returning soon. Happy New Year GK!
Cheap and yummy. Clean restaurant, nice staff however the meat is sometimes frozen when it's out on the trays. Be careful that you don't get overcharged if you're with a large group they will take your money
My 1st time here and enjoyed every bit of my dinner...The service was friendly and helpful...The waitress was absolutely helpful and kind...
Recommend it to everyone...
Food was good for price
Had to check this place after reading all the positive reviews. This is probably one of my favourite restaurants in Auckland. I loved it because it was the first time I've ever tipped the restaurant. I've been to Valentines, Happy Days, Dennys, La Porchetta, Steak House in nearly all the different areas in Auckland and this place is my favourite. Because you have a lot of variety of food and its healthy. That's the main thing I like for myself because when you go to a restaurant you know your going to be eating more than you should. But I loved this place, great staff, good value for money, friendly environment, overall a nice vibe and the desert adds the perfect touch to the night. Maybe just adding a bit more variety with desert like cakes or something. But still 5 stars for me. I recommend it to all.
Genghi Khan, new lynn: great place to eat, worthwhile time and money...staff are friendly, the place is very clean. I have been twice this year.
Great place! Been here recently and years ago and each time service has been great and food awesome! Love it :) Casual enough for the kids (as someone else mentioned), better than the 'Gengys' brand elsewhere. Fun, top notch place. Fairly good prices too.
Great place. Friendly, relaxed staff. Great price for all you can eat. Definitely recommend!
love it there, staff always helpful, very relaxing environment...food is great, cheap & all u can eat...worth yr money....recommend to all...way better then valentines......
My first visit - I was very impressed. The Staff made it fun!!
A great restaurant with friendly staff and good food. Also casual enough to be able to easily take the children. We are regulars.
First time to this place. Was told to go by friends. It was awesome. Value for money- (CHEAP), very friendly staff. Will definitely go back. Very relaxing and buffet was great. Great selection of meats and foods. Very Clean.
Love this place!! Our work always go here for outings and i always tell people to go there, im about to have my 2nd birthday there, everyones loves it as its cheap and all you can eat!! I recommend you go try it out!
Really enjoyed Gengis Khan. All you can eat - grab the fresh meats, veges, sauces, spices in a bowl and hand to the cook who will stir fry your selection. Go back as many times as you like. Finish with desert of cooked on demand pancakes and ice cream etc. Suitable for solo to large groups. Licensed and BYO wine only. Make sure you go hungry!
Hands down love this place - delicious food, great atmosphere and service is 1000/10. Their pancakes are so delish, I could go just for the pancakes. So happy to have found a reasonably priced local place to eat.. would 100% recommend. Great for groups, people with kids or a date night!
Great tasting food, went here to celebrate my husband's birthday. The atmosphere was great, had 2 graduations there at the same time and plenty of food! Kids loved it.
This place is great for a cheap dinner that's all you can eat! $25 for an adult is really good. Make your own meal and other food options you can just grab while you wait till yours is being cooked! Lovely staff! Very friendly place and there is even dessert with pan cakes they make!! Really enjoyed and recommend this restaurant!!!
Great place to come for good all you can eat food, not as big as other gengis khan restaurants but still caters well
Friendly service, great selection of food. Really worth your money
Great staff great food love the New Lynn Gengis Khan the most . Nice family running it go support and get a nice meal at the same time while in the area
Would recommend Gengis.
Great selection of fresh food, very entertaining watching it cooked on a large Mongolian BBQ.
All you can eat buffet with dessert for $25.
Family friendly good for kids.
Very nice experience here but the setting is a little cramped. I think it needs to be spread out a bit more.
Had dinner with my wife, and we both loved the food they prepared for us from our own choices.
The food here is amazing the only reason I gave atmosphere a 3 is because it's Tuesday night and very quiet I can't believe this place isn't packed every night of the week total value for money im so full im about to explode and I'll be coming here more often in the future 😋😀
Service with a smile!
Skilled chef, fresh meat and vege, and an overall superb eating experience.
Will be back!
We went on a non busy night. The best pancakes we have ever had! Fluffy and just delicious!
Meat variety is better than that of the Henderson one. Less sides but I prefer more meat options than sides to be honest.
Customer service was amazing. Chef held it down on his own that evening and we were amazed!
