Kansas City - Genghis Khan Mongolian Barbecue

This past weekend, I had a great meal at Genghis Khan Mongolian Barbecue. This is one of those places where you place your choice of ingredients in a bowl and they cook it for you.

I had been several times in the past prior to going gluten-free, but this was my first trip back since. I brought a bottle of San-J wheat-free tamari with me, as I thought I would probably need it.

They have a station with all the veggies, one with all the meats/seafood ingredients, and a final one with all the sauces. I skipped the noodles in favor of rice (which they bring to the table). At the last station, I made my sauce using their "Spicy" recipe. I omitted their soy sauce and their Sacha Sauce because I wasn't sure of their gluten-free status, but I used the other ingredients like sesame oil, ginger water, garlic water, etc. Each ingredient had its own ladle, so I felt pretty good about that.

I added my own soy sauce and no one blinked. Then, instead of handing my bowl to the guys at the grill, I walked it over to the bartender. I said something about having Celiac Disease and he nodded understandingly and said, "You want me to take this to the back and have them cook it on a clean pan?" It was that easy. The waitress brought it to my table when it was ready.

It was really easy & really delicious. I'd highly recommend it - just bring your own sauce.

That sounds delicious! I love Mongolian barbecues, but it hadn't even occurred to me that I could still go to one. Thanks for the tip!

At one time I had contacted BD's and had some info from them as to what sauces etc could be had. I know there is one of those on 95th, however I have yet to make it there to try! ha Where in Kansas are you two from?

I ate there a few months ago. There was 7 of us in our group and when they took mine to the back to fix it everyone was jealous that I got mine before they all did, lol. It was one of the times I felt like a queen.

Jessica - sorry for the late reply. There are two Genghis Khan restaurants in KC. The original (where I ate) is over in the 39th Street restaurant district - basically across from KU Med on 39th Street, north of Westport and the Plaza. There is another GK north of the river off Ambassador road. It's relatively close to Zona Rosa / Barry Road, but not in Zona Rosa. It's in a newer outdoor strip mall that has a Chipotle, Coldwater Creek, etc.

Do they actually have gluten-free sauces (so we don't have to bring our own)? This is making me hungry. :D

Yes, if I remember right there were 2 or 3 sauces that were fine. Then you of course ask them to cook it in a clean pan. You can go to their website and send them an e-mail to ask which sauces (I can't remember which ones). It makes me crave some stir fry also!! And it's not even 10am! ha

I went to their website and they now have a nutritional brochure on it, in the bottom in tiny lettering it says Spicy buffalo and Lemon are gluten-free . Here is the link to the brochure:

I posted that I had eaten there, and when I told my daughter who lives near KC she reminded me that when we ate there I had picked out a sauce for mine that I thought was fine and when I told them mine was gluten free the people there told me it wasn't safe and that I could have one of three sauces. I was so impressed that they looked out for me.

      High blood test numbers - with scales. Any advice?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I agree with @RMJ, you have multiple positive tests so celiac disease is likely.  This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease.

      Newly gluten free… withdrawal?

      By trents · Posted

      One small study found that 50% of celiacs react to the dairy protein "casein" like they do to gluten. It is also common for celiacs to be lactose (the sugar in milk) intolerant, though that often disappears in time as the villi heal. About 10% of celiacs react to the oat protein "avenin" like they do gluten.

      Newly gluten free… withdrawal?

      By K6315 · Posted

      Thank you so much Trents (Scott?)! I have started working with a dietitian and did a deep research dive as soon as I got the diagnosis. I am aware of what you mentioned in the first two paragraphs, and was not aware of anything in the third, so I am grateful for that information, and will talk to the dietitian about that. I think I was most interested in the withdrawal process - it gives me hope that, although I have felt unwell recently, I just need to be patient (not a strong suit). I have printed the article you sent and will look at it more closely. Thanks again!

      Newly gluten free… withdrawal?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @K6315! Gluten withdrawal typically lasts for a period of a few weeks. But there is a real learning curve involved in actually attaining to a gluten free dietary state. Much more is involved than just cutting out major sources of gluten such as bread and pasta. It's all the places that gluten is hidden in the food supply that is difficult to ferret out, like soy sauce and canned tomato soup, canned chili and canned pork n' beans, some "lite" pancake syrups, potato salad, flavorings, etc., etc. Gluten-containing grain products are hidden through alternate terminology and found in places you would never expect.  There is also "cross contamination" where naturally gluten free foods come into contact with gluten-containing grains during farming, transportation, storage and manufacturing processes. Then there is the issue of "cross reactivity" whereby you may be having gluten-like reaction to food proteins whose structure is similar to gluten. Chief among these are dairy, oats (even gluten-free oats), soy, corn and eggs. I am including this article that you might find helpful:
