"Wait staff missed one of our orders but overall the food is quite good (maybe not the most authentic since it’s a tad Westernized), service comes fast, there’s a lot of variety if you want something other than Mongolian, and the interior is nice with lots of traditional paraphernalia."

"First experience in an authentic Mongolia food in this restaurant. Overall is an superb experience and food is delicious. Had many various type of local food and all taste very good. The only short coming that I would feedback is the slow wait for the food. Took more than 30 min before the 1st dish is served."
