Tricking a cyclops into using a well-rounded wok as a contact lens isn't as rewarding as tasting the fresh sizzle of today's Groupon. For $10, you'll get $25 worth of order-your-own Mongolian eats and non-alcoholic drinks from Genghis Grill at the Duncanville, Uptown Dallas, and Garland locations.
Here, you can chose from a variety of ingredients to customize your dish. Genghis Grill's standout is stir-fry. Build your bowl by picking a protein base out of 14 options (chicken, steak, tofu, beef, scallops, pepperoni, and more), seasoning it, and selecting veggies (you have 30 choices). Then finesse your fare with choice of sauces; Genghis Grill has everything from chili garlic sauce to sweet and sour sauce. You'll finish it all up with a starch such as tortillas, udon noodles, or brown rice. If decisions make you nervous, horrified, dismayed, or woefully glum, opt for a predetermined Genghis bowl, which lists its complete nutritional value. Personalized or prescribed, all bowls are $8.99.
The easy, counter-side ordering eliminates errors lost in waiter translation or menu missteps. Get this Groupon to personalize your plate, as a quick lunch option, or to live out your chef fantasies.
This Groupon cannot be applied toward alcoholic drinks.

Seventy-eight percent of Urbanspoon diners like the Uptown location, and an Insider Pages user gives the Duncanville location four stars. Twelve out of twelve Urbanspooners like the Garland location:
- This place rocks! I love all the different combonations [sic] you can make. You don't ever have to eat the same twice! LOVE IT! – CHIBBS, Urbanspoon
- It was great! My son selected some items that he didn't like. When we told the waiter, he told him to go back and select some items that he did like and they would cook it for him free of charge. We chose all shrimp this time! – Josie D., Insider Pages
Groupon Says
Genghis Khan in Popular Culture
Genghis Khan was the founder and ruler of the Mongol Empire, the largest contiguous empire in history. His story and reputation have continued to interest modern audiences, and he's been featured as a character in numerous works of fiction:
Knight Rider: In the 1984 episode Genghis Car, Michael Knight and his robotic car, KITT, must team up once again—this time to defeat a time-traveling Genghis Khan. The episode presents the classic conflict between man and nature: the car-bound Knight must pursue the wily Khan, who is on horseback, through the mountains of Virginia. At the episode's conclusion, Knight believes he has tricked Khan into walking into the Time Trap, but the audience knows that Khan's soul has merely been downloaded into a robot car of his own.
Arthur: This animated children's show featuring a talking nerd/aardvark aired a six-week story arc about a new kid in school, Genghis Cat (voiced by Ken Watanabe), who begins eating the hearts of his enemies and taking over the school district. Eventually, Genghis Cat learns the importance of sharing, but not before being killed in battle by a combination of hubris and arrows.
2005 Major League Baseball All-Star Game: After receiving a majority of votes, Genghis Khan was exhumed, reanimated, and sent to Michigan to start for the National League. He was booed after his joints fell apart during the Home Run Derby.
