YC's Mongolian Grill, Tempe-Scottsdale, AZ.

MONIQUE - First impression: "It seems like a challenge to put as much food as possible into your bowl. Making the stir-fry was nearly as fun as eating it." Order: "I had YC's special teriyaki sauce with long slices of beef, pork, chicken and turkey with lettuce leaves, carrots, broccoli, sprouts, noodles, pineapple and I'm sure there was more I'm leaving out. My husband had the sweet-and-sour sauce. Both were very good." Atmosphere: "Components were overflowing onto trays, which isn't unusual at YC's, where you're encouraged to pack as much food as possible into your bowl. I noticed that regular customers all had their sauces to a science." Service: "The food was an incredible value, since my husband and I were able to make two meals apiece out of our orders. The food was delicious, but it almost has to be, since you create your own." Advice: "Between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m., the wait can be long. The hours between 2 and 5 p.m. are usually better."

MARK - First impression: YC's is easy to locate in a shopping center with ample parking all around. When my wife and I entered, we were greeted by Matthew, an extremely friendly and helpful employee." Order: "YC's works on the assumption that everything one can fit into a bowl can work and taste great, and they were right in my case. I loaded up on meats, tofu and noodles." Atmosphere: "The dining area is somewhat spartan but light and airy due to the abundance of windows. The staff is friendly and funny." Advice: "I'll quote Matthew, who said, 'Don't be shy. We expect to see your feet in the air as you try to stuff ingredients into the bowl.'"	MONIQUE - First impression: "It seems like a challenge to put as much food as possible into your bowl.
