    Hutsai and huushur
    Undral K.

    If you're looking for an Absolutely delicious and comforting to sit and eat this is the place. I love how their ingredients are fresh and flavorful. I know it takes so much effort and time to make a typical Mongolian dish so I'm impressed at the fast service and quality of the dish. Love it, will come back again.

    This was actually my first experience with Mongolian cuisine, so I was very interested to find out what it's like. When we walked in, no staff was out front, so we stood around a bit before we were seated. The staff quickly disappeared again, and throughout our meal, they were usually disappeared somewhere in the back. If you want something quick like extra utensils or napkins, you may need to wait a bit before someone appears. When ordering, we wanted to try both the Beef Buzz ($14.99) and the Fried Beef Buzz ($15.99). The lady who took our order said they were the same thing, and offered to just give us one half/half order instead of ordering two of essentially the same dish. We agreed to that offer, but she didn't mention anything about how that'll be charged. Of course, we ended up being charged the higher price of $15.99. Not a huge deal, but some better communication there would've been appreciated. We also ordered the Beef Huushuur ($14.99). The Beef Huuchuur arrived first, and it didn't look anything like we expected. The photos from online reviews all looked it'd come in an empanada shape, but it actually came in a large, flat, circular shape. They were all laying against one another in a slanted position, and it made all the oil pool in the bottom of the dish, and the pieces that were covered became very oily and soggy underneath. The parts of the dough that weren't soggy were wonderfully crispy and delicious though. It'd make a significantly better difference if the Huuchuur were placed spread out from each other instead of lying on top of each other to maintain the crispiness on all surfaces. The beef filling was nicely seasoned and well flavored. The Beef Buzz had essentially the same filling as the Huuchuur, but different exterior. Unfortunately, I still have the same opinions of it being way too oily overall. The non-fried pieces sometimes broke apart at the bottom due to the sogginess. The fried version did not have a crispy texture at the bottom either, I'm guessing due to the excess amount of oil on the dish. Again, the flavors were great, but execution and presentation definitely has room for improvement. In summary, this was a great introduction to Mongolian dumplings for me. Very delicious flavors, and I'd love to try Huuchuurs again in the future because I love crispy fried foods with a good texture. However, I'd probably look for a place that goes way more easy on the oil.

    Hello fellow dumpling lovers! I have to say this was a different experience than I'd have imagined. Their naadam huushuurs was interesting. I didn't realized it would be deep fried and oily as hell. In my defense, this is the first time I've had this type of dumplings. I heard that's the way it should be so it just wasn't for me. I did enjoy the other dumplings though.

    Salted milk tea

    The location isn't the best. Parking is limited and the street is busy. But the delicious food more than makes up for it! Service can be a bit lax but they were friendly. Not much of a wait on a weekday lunch. It's a casual sit down restaurant. The salted milk tea and water at the front are self serve. We ordered the lamb momos, tingmo, and the beef khuushuur. Portions were very very generous and hearty. I'd recommend sticking it about one per person. Otherwise you'll need to go boxes. You really get a good amount of food for what you spend. The tingmos are plain buns. There is no stuffing. They are huge. About the size of my fist. The khuushuur were also the size of my hand. The slaw that came with the momos and khuushuur gave it a nice fresh balance/different textures/contrasts in flavor. I'd recommend trying a little bit of the Maggi sauce with the dumplings to add more umami if desired. The momos and the khuushuur seem to be very popular items. You know it's probably good if you see people that are familiar with the cuisine dining here! It's very interesting and fun to see a place that offers Mongolian food that isn't Mongolian bbq. (From my search I only found one other Mongolian food restaurant that isn't focused on bbq.) We'd love to try them again the next time we are in the area!

    This food was amazing! It reminded me of my grandma's homemade cooking and made me feel so nostalgic. Everything was delicious and comforting. Thank you for the wonderful meal

    Chicken Momo's
    Mary R.

    I think the owners have changed since the last time we had a meal here. Food is still good, dumplings Momo's are always good. And their empanadas which are a different word. Are always delicious. Tsuvian beef dish is good but my wife said it was less flavored today. I enjoyed it add a little chili paste,soy sauce and their cabbage slaw it's a great combo..

    Mongolian dumpling
    Jocelyn E.

    Okay the vibes and decor in this place are cool. They have lil stations out for people to grab utensils and refill their milk tea. It's just hot milk. The taro smoothie was perfect! Not too sweet. The service is good you don't really see them often so you gotta flag them down for the check. Everything was honestly flavorless without their hot chili which was real hot. Sriracha was my bestie this dining trip.

    Lamb momo
    Julie N.

    Amazing family owned restaurant in Richmond serving delicious Mongolian dumplings (momos). You serve your own water and salty milk tea (Mongolian drink) and find your own seat. We tried the chicken kuushuur (a mildly salted thin fried dumpling with dumpling meat inside) and the lamb momos. Of the two, the lamb momos really were the best we've ever had! Big pockets of lamb accompanied by some soup inside- the taste was both very lamb-y yet not too game-y. Now I wish we had tried the other momos! Will definitely come back and try them- highly recommend this hidden gem.

    Salt Milk Tea
    Zolzaya G.

    Okay DELICIOUS!!! I'm Mongolian and when we are lazy to cook at home - THIS IS THE PLACE! We haven't been there in a while but everything we ordered today was DELICIOUS! I RECOMMEND the round huushuur or naadmiin huushuur-SO GOOD! Complimentary salted milk tea goes well with all the food! Service is very friendly! And love all the Mongolian decorations around the reataurant. For customers and reviews saying service is slow! Mongolian food requires, steaming and frying in general!! and if it take 15-20min its being made FRESH! please be understanding - what I suggest is , you can also call ahead of time as well and they can probably start preparing!

    The Tenderloin. Everyone knows it for the mayak*, the World War Z situation, le dudu on the…read moremagnastrada... But few realize that the TL is also a cuisine Mecca, a deluge of flavors from every corner of Earth. Case in point, Mongol Cafe, visible from the windows of the 38. I've ordered take out lunches multiple times from here. The brownish burgundy gulyash came with an egg, and had a too-rich flavor in the form of sourness in the sauce, just like my previous Mongolian gulyash experience elsewhere. Not my thing. The Tsuivan is hearty, not noodles the way you'd think, but more like the starchy toothpicks you get when you grate a doughball. Well flavored with the fat of the meats it was cooked with. Very rustic. Very stick to your ribs. The buuz was good. And authentic, filled using chopped meat rather than regular ground meat. Bigger than a typical dumpling. Smaller than a bao. Another basic but hearty dish. Maybe you'll find the flavor bland, but you'll notice it. The huitsai is currently my favorite item from here so far. Having a subtle but hearty flavor profile like the other dishes, you can tell this is a Mongolian soup. The carrots, the fried potatoes, and the sliced beef are nice, but the hot soup with the meatballs made it for me. No buns came with the soup, but the noodles were a really nice and filling surprise. Huurshuur - imagine the Cantonese dim sum 咸水角 AKA fried mochi dumpling, but stuffed with the filling used for buuz. And flattened. The coleslaw is a no-go for me though. By American standards, the chop was too rough and thus the texture too hard. You know what's an item that I didn't think I'd see at a Mongolian restaurant though? Mongolian beef. We Cantonese made that dish but I guess the community asked for it or maybe Mongols do have a similar dish. I didn't ask. Potatoes and carrots instead of onions and pepper. Good but I like the huitsai more. You might notice that the restaurant has a cell phone number. You can and should order your lunch ahead by texting her. She does her best, but it's a one-woman show, and English isn't her first language. The prices on the website are definitely out of date though. Don't be discouraged if the door is locked though. She's there. This is the TL after all. Just give her a minute and you'll get to check out the display case full of Mongolian things. * Translate to Korean.

The waitress came once to refill my water and other than that two more times to get the plates. Mind you we did not eat much so we were low maintenance table. I asked for the check and walked it to the counter to pay since I noticed recently the waiters tend to stand right in front of you while you fill out the receipt. She followed me to the front counter and waited next to me as I handed the check to lady at the counter. I thought she was just going to ask her something just to give her the benefit of the doubt. For 2 adults and a 5 year old the bill came out to $60.11. Since we were low maintenance and barely had plates for her to come pick up unlike other full tables I decided no tip today. I paid and was heading out after putting away my card and she approached the counter and then said "excuse me. No tip?" I was shook but replied nicely yes I didn't leave a tip. She said the tip is not included in the total. I replied "I know. I did not leave a tip." She asked "why you don't leave me tip?" I replied a little louder "a tip is optional not mandatory and I chose not to leave a tip" She then said ok and had a look on her face like I left without paying or something. My brother had said he has also ran into issues like this with them hovering whenever you are going to pay and even say things under their breath on the days we do not leave a tip. Mind you this is one day i chose not to leave a tip. I usually leave $5 if service deserves it or if I feel generous. It is not mandatory so having them treat me like I didn't fully pay is ridiculous. I will not be returning to empire buffet as again this has been an ongoing issue. I don't like them hovering over my shoulder as I pay or in this instance following me to the front counter and confronting me in front of their manager (who did nothing). If this has happened to you please leave a review so something can be done because it seems this behavior is allowed in this location.
