Tony Cheng's Mongolian Restaurant **
Washington, ¢

Along with the massive cast-iron grill that is the focal point of this handsomely modern restaurant, Tony Cheng's gives us murals of life among Genghis Khan's camps of fierce marauders that could have been painted by the Disney artists responsible for Pocahontas.

True to the Taiwanese restaurants of its inspiration, this is a menu with only two specialties, an all-you-can-eat Mongolian barbecue and a cook-it-yourself Mongolian fire pot. If you're watching your calories, the fire potin which diners cook meats, seafood, vegetables, noodles, and bean curd and which yields a final course of broth enriched by the flavors of the ingredients that have been cooked in itis a feast without guilt.

No such claims can be made for the Mongolian barbecue: For $13.95, you can make unlimited return trips to the grill, where the chefs will cook as many bowls of meats and vegetables as you can consume.
