Hoja
Victoria St., Kamloops, BC

A little funkier with the cooks and the grill right at the front window than the original Mongolian Grill that was on the North Shore, Hoja offers up a tried and true way of dining out. Choose your meat, noodles, vegetables and sauces and wait in line to have your food grilled. Oh right and do this as many times as you want. While there is not much to this concept, it seems to be very popular in Kamloops. The two times I have been there it has been fairly busy as there has been a line to get through the food and then to have the food cooked. My food has always been good, but then again how can I complain when I choose all of the food and sauces myself.

The servers and cooks are friendly and seem to be able to keep the food area clean and full and the grill clean and organized. My only real complain about the place is the layout. It makes for very crowded dining and very impersonal conversations.

I don't know the prices off hand but an all you can eat lunch is about $11.00 and the all you can eat dinner is not quite $17.00.

While I will return to this restaurant, I'm not sure I can recommend it as fast food or for the lack of intimacy it provides. Whatever it is, as long as it continues to have a fresh, clean food bar I'm sure it will do well.
