HuHot Mongolian Grill
HuHot Mongolian Grill has the smallest menu of any restaurant in Appleton, but boasts the biggest variety of dishes with their make-your-own buffet. The food bar hosts a variety of noodles, meats, seafood, and vegetables that you can combine to create your own dish. Top off your creation with one of their 12 prepared sauces, favorites include Black Thai Peanut, Kung Pao...Yow!, and the house sauce, Khan's Favorite. If you have any room after hitting the all-you-can-eat food bar, indulge your inner-child (or your children) with the Sweet Victory S'mores. Your server will deliver a platter of crackers, marshmallows, and chocolate so you can toast and assemble right at the table.
HuHot is open daily for lunch and dinner.

Confucius
Confucius is a far cry from the typical Chinese food restaurant. You'll find no buffet table here, only crisp, white tables in a simple room with Zen décor. Start your meal with one of their appetizers; the list includes a variety of soups and small bites, including favorites like Shrimp Toast and Crab Rangoon. The lengthy menu contains the Chinese standards---stir fries made with chicken, beef, pork, seafood, and noodle and rice dishes. But they also serve several "Health Diet" dishes that are steamed with homemade, low fat sauce. Confucius' House Specialties and curries are the best bets. Try the Miso Salmon Filet, Hunan Duck or Red Thai Curry for a real treat.
