Delicious Buuz & Khuushuur, Will Return!
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! The buuz and khuushuur were absolutely delicious and impressively not greasy at all. I also enjoyed the borsh and noodle soup, which were very tasty. I'm definitely planning to come back the next time I'm in San. I couldn't even finish my meal, yet I still wanted to take some food to go – that's how good it was!

Authentic and Delicious Mongolian Feast!
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! We ordered a variety of authentic Mongolian dishes, including beef dumplings, beef Naadam khuushuur, goulash, dumpling tea soup, and huutsai. The restaurant was fairly busy on a Friday night, with many other Mongolian patrons dining in, which added to the lively atmosphere. Everything we tried was so delicious; my family was so eager to eat that they started enjoying the food before I could even take a photo! The food was a definite highlight, and the overall experience was very positive.
