bd's Mongolian Grill is a leader in the "Asian Grill" dining segment, recognized in recent restaurant industry trends as a popular niche appealing to young families. The restaurant provides a casual dining experience in an energetic atmosphere where guests choose their ingredients from a large variety of meats and seafood, fresh vegetables and flavorful sauces to create their own unique stir-fry. After guests gather their food, they watch their creation being grilled to perfection Mongolian style on bd's signature 6-foot diameter flat grill. bd's provides healthy food choices for those with special dietary needs such as gluten-free, low sodium, vegetarian and allergy-free requirements.
