After 27 years of build-your-own stir-fry, BD Mongolian Grill’s Sawmill Road outpost in Dublin quietly served its last bowls on Sunday, closing for good at 6242 Sawmill Road. Staff and managers said the restaurant shut early that day after running low on inventory, even though a manager had originally expected to keep the dining room open into midweek. For now, the nearest central Ohio locations are at Easton Town Center and in Beavercreek.
Closing details
According to The Columbus Dispatch, managers said the Sawmill Road restaurant had been scheduled to operate through Wednesday but closed early once supplies ran low. The Dispatch also notes the Dublin spot had held that address for roughly 27 years and racked up thousands of Google reviews over its long run.
Where to find BD's now
BD’s official location page lists nearby outposts at Easton Town Center and Beavercreek, both currently showing regular hours and services. The same company page still lists the Dublin address and store hours, as shown on BD's Mongolian Grill's location page.
Part of a broader pullback
The Dublin shutdown comes as the brand has trimmed locations in recent years, a pattern noticed by both local and industry watchers. Hoodline reported the chain closed its last Michigan outpost in February, and an Arena District location in Columbus shut down in 2022. 614Now documented that the Arena District closure at the time.
Community reaction
"I was saddened by the closing," manager Meg Riebel told The Columbus Dispatch, adding that the longtime Sawmill Road fixture "was loved by the surrounding community." The paper reports staff said the same day shutdown, driven by a shortage of inventory, caught some regulars off guard.
What’s next
The future of the Sawmill Road storefront is still up in the air, and a new tenant has not been announced. Diners looking to keep their BD routine alive can find hours, menus, and contact information for other Columbus area locations on the company’s location page.
