located in a very busy corner of Nogales and Gale. Depending on the time of the day, desired parking spaces are limited. Upon entering the restaurant, well lit interior with wall painting of Mongolian grass field was seen. The restaurant was very clean and created a comfy dinning atmosphere. There was no outdoor seatings at all. The server was speedy, got us seated within seconds. The menu was simple to read. The price was very reasonable. Food preparation took slightly longer than expected but well worth the wait. The lamb xiaomai was delicious with ground lamb meat and thin wrapping. The beef population like pan cake was delicious too. There is a condiments and soup station, you can fill up your bowl as many times as you want. Very delightful. The lunch order also included complimentary salty milk tea or yogurt. We were definitely satisfied with the portions. The service was good Overall, this place is a gem, and definitely worth returning to try out other dishes. It gets a 4.8 out of 5. read more

Mandatory 15% tip for ZERO service? And they can't refill some radish? I really wanted to like this place because the concept of Mongolian pies is unique in Rowland Heights. The food itself is decent--the pies are juicy and the lamb soup is hearty on a cold day. However, the dining experience left such a bad taste in my mouth that I can't ignore it. Here's the thing: 1. The "Service" Fee (aka The Silent Robbery): They automatically add a 15% tip to the bill. Normally, I'm okay with this for good service, but here, the service was practically non-existent. We had to flag someone down just to get a water refill. It feels less like a tip and more like a mandatory surcharge that goes straight to the owner while the staff couldn't care less. 2. The "No Refill" Rule: We ordered the Lamb Radish Soup. The broth was good, but when we politely asked if we could have a tiny bit more of the radish (not even the meat, just the veggie) from the kitchen, we got a straight-up "No." For a place charging premium prices and forcing a tip, being told you can't have a few cents worth of radish is just insulting. In short: The food is 3 stars, but the principle of the thing (bad service + forced tip + stingy refill policy) drops it to a 1. If you want to try the pie, do yourself a favor and order takeout to avoid the mandatory service charge that doesn't reflect any actual service. read more

Rating: 7/10 Tried the Mongolian meat pancake spot. Service was very friendly, and the waitresses were great. Inside has a lot of seats and tables. The free lamb soup and the sauce bar were highlights and added a lot to the meal. We ordered the boiled lamb, grilled lamb, meat pancake, and shredded potatoes. Boiled Lamb - Probably the most disappointing dish. There was a lot of fat and the meat quality itself wasn't great. Flavor was pretty plain as well. Grilled Lamb - A bit better than the boiled lamb since the grilling added more flavor, but it seemed like the same cut of lamb, which was mid. Shredded Potatoes - Solid dish. Nicely seasoned with good texture and one of the better items we ordered. Meat Pancake - Good flavor overall, but the bread ended up a bit soggy, which took away from what could have been a strong dish. read more

Hate to bring this up every single time I review a business in this plaza, but parking can be horrible and extremely fisted, especially since there's so many restaurants and other businesses in the same plaza. If your car is garbage and has zero valuables, you can park across the street and walk over. The 2 different instances that I've eaten here, the place is pretty popping. It's quite a large restaurant with a lot of seating and there's lots of customers coming and in and out, some picking up to go orders, others in the waiting area, so you know that the food they have is popular and unique. PRO-TIP: For dine in, you get unlimited lamb soup and all of the fixings for that soup are complimentary too (cilantro, pepper, cumin, etc), so make sure to eat up! For our visit, we've had the complimentary lamb soup, which is a must since it's technically AYCE, the cold veggie appetizers (great if it's a hot summer day), the Mongolian hand made pies (they're like huge flattened dumplings - deliciously seasoned meat and juicy as well). Those are great. I've had 2 dishes here I am not the biggest fan of. The offal soup since I cannot easily eat the meat, so I think I just mostly drank the soup and ate around it, sort of a waste since I could have just gotten the free soup, and the bull testicles and penis. I cannot stand the chewy texture of food, so this was immediate miss for me, even when I didn't know what it was and when I took it home, no one in my family could eat it since it had become hard and chewy and difficult to eat at that point. Love the complimentary milk candy they give at the end though. Wish that can be more easily accessible to buy in markets. read more

Revisited for my birthday & everything was great still. Food came out extremely quickly, language barrier wasn't an issue at all, I just pointed at the menu photos. Gratuity has an automatic 15% added but they allow you to adjust it if it feels needed. Overall a great experience & we'll be back. :) read more

This will be my first and last time to this place. I believe I have been here once before but it may have been under another management. First of all the workers seem to all wear the same latex disposable blue gloves to handle everything, from bringing food out , to cleaning. The two staff seemed to be nice but it took a while for us to get service. Seems like they were vacuuming or busy refilling other things. The cold plate they had was decent, and they had a sauce bar where you can get soup if you dine in. We ordered a soup that seems to only be enough for 4 people. The biggest disappointment was the shumai. They actually look huge and good but you can tell they were frozen. I should have known as I took my first bite, there was raw pork inside. They took back the steamer and tried to heat it up again. I thought they would have just made a new batch. After steaming it again, I took another bite and again the pork was still raw in the middle. You cannot consume raw pork. They eventually changed the dish but only after trying to explain that it wasn't raw and that it was just that color. I know what raw pork looks like, and when I took the two bites, they are not supposed to be soft and cold. I didn't want to start my first review of the year like this, but I had a stomach ache and did not feel well the next day. I'm glad I did not have to go to urgent care. I hope they figure out a way to do their business. read more

Came here to celebrate today's festivity. This place has good seating. Can hold a party of 100+ people. Our server is friendly and helpful.

Eggplant is really, really good. The homemade pies are juicy and have plenty of meat inside. The lamb broth with seasoning is warming on a cold day. Friendly service, nice modern ambiance but keeps to traditional Mongolia vibe. My only gripe is the steamed lamb ribs had a lot of fat / more fat than meat on the bone. read more

First time coming here and I tried to order over the phone, but their English wasn't the best, so I decided to come in to order instead. I recommend doing this so you can point to what you want to ensure you order the correct items. Inside was very clean and wasn't noisy at all, which was great. After I placed my To-Go order, they said it would be about 10mins and they were SO spot on. It took 9 minutes to get my food! I ordered the Mongolian Pie and the Cumin Lamb and both were so delicious! read more

Eating Mongolian food in Rowland Heights for the first time. This place has a very home-like feel. Came here for dinner with a party of three, and we ordered a lot of food. The appetizer vegetables were delicious I love the shredded potatoes and cucumbers. We ordered the hot pot with lamb and also the deep-fried lamb with spice. The lamb dishes are so delicious I know a lot of people aren't fans of eating lamb. But this was delicious. Service was friendly and lively. If you ever want to try Mongolian cuisine and give it a shot you won't be disappointed with this spot. read more

I'm not too familiar with Mongolian cuisine, but the food here is amazing. We ordered a few dishes to share as a group, and they were all so good. The grilled lamb ribs were perfectly seasoned, tender, and some of the best Asian style lamb ribs I've had. The stewed lamb sauce was also perfectly rich and salty, and the meat in the stew was tender as well. The veggies and meat pie were also good, and other people I was with actually loved the meat pies. They offer free soup with your meal, and the staff offered us free salty milk tea as well. Overall, I was impressed by the experience and would definitely come back! read more

We'll for sure be going back to try more dishes! read more

自己的生活，無需複雜，簡單就好，自己的人生，無需繁華，開心就好～ 前陣子跟也是版上認識的版友一起來試這家吃蒙古火鍋的餐廳，就是原來上林鐵板燒的位置，很不一樣的風情， 在美國第一次來這類的餐廳， 還有他們獨特的奶茶， 免費可以一直添加， 點的是「鮮」鍋， 上次吃過東北菜，現在知道 鮮就是魚加羊肉的鍋， 超級超級大鍋的， 兩個人絕對吃不完， 適合四， 四個人左右一起過來， 個人是覺得他家的羊肉比較好吃， 魚的部分就還好，朋友說他之前來吃過羊肉鍋，比較好吃，歐， 還有蒙古大餅也是不能錯過，大餅裡是有肉餅在裡頭的， 也是超級大份量的，反正啥份量都很大， 其實整體用餐的感覺也不錯， 喜歡嚐鮮， 試不同口味的吃貨們， 可以來試試，在美國也可以嚐到漠北的風情！ read more

This is a good Mongolian Restaurant. It's pretty packed. As soon as you walked in, you were offered the choice of Mongolian Milk Tea or Yogurt to drink, as a sample of course. My party and I have one each and share. I like the milk tea, which is perfectly salted. Ordered three items and the waitress says it is enough for both of us. We had left over to take home. We ordered "Three Items Cold dish" as an appetizer, Mongolian Pancake (Beef Patty inside), and also the Fish and Lamb Soup. I will have to return to the actual lamb dishes It is worth. read more

The server was super nice and helpful in guiding our order. We were going to order four dishes for two and she let us know that that would be way too much food. We arrived at 5:30pm on a Saturday and were seated right away and offered the complimentary milk tea (salty) or yogurt. Signs let you know that a service charge is included and tip not expected. Interior seems new and is clean and modern. Plenty of space for large parties of six or more. The lamb shumai taste more like lamb versions of xiao long bao-- juicy and bursting with broth. Eat them while they're hot (before the broth congeals)! We like the paper thin wrapper which seems to be made from a different type of dough. The filling flavor is similar to the filling in the Mongolian pie. The grilled version of the lamb is definitely the healthier version and taste, but every table seems to get the Mongolian spiced desert-style (which seems to come with fries), so we'll be back to try that. This place is in a retail complex so expect lots of competition for parking even for a big lot. read more

Came here for lunch with coworkers. Service was exceptional. The interior is much nicer than outside. I think this restaurant is overlooked compared to the other available places in that plaza. This is definitely a place to check out. We ordered a couple of lamb dishes. I'm not used to eating mainly lamb so it was a bit out of the norm for me but everything tasted great. I would come back here with other friends! It's a great find. read more

The sauce bar also lets you create your own sauces to your liking. read more

Oh my Lamb! Wow. I was stuffed! If you decide to come here, the bigger the group, the better as there are so many dishes to try and the serving sizes are generous! This place gets packed! There are no reservations, but the wait is worth it. The restaurant is well lit, clean and there is a painting of a green mountain side which my guess is supposed to be Mongolia, and the service is pretty quick. There is a free serve your own soup station in the back of the restaurant and the lamb soup does not disappoint! The staff also provide Mongolian milk tea, which was my first time trying and it is a combo of saltiness and sweetness. Our part was 8 people and we may have over ordered but it was worth it. The dishes we got were salt/pepper lamb chops, lamb stew, meat pie, spicy duck blood and tripe stew, some veggies, and fried spice chicken. The lamb cooked in various ways was amazing! Every dish was delicious and had just the right amount of spice to it! I really enjoyed the lamb stew as I am a huge fan of soup, so there is bias there but also, the lamb chops were crispy but also tender on the inside. It was a wonderful dinner and lamb overload-- I was so full and happy! read more

Food: delicious lamb stew and lamb pie breading!!! The lamb pie meat was so so. The lamb stew was flavorful, however , the lamb pieces could've been more tender. Love that it came with daikon, jujube, and goji The yogurt was meh. Nothing special. Cheese pieces in top. Glad they served the salty milk tea for free .. not a fan wasn't tasty. Also served 毛豆 for free but it was cold and tasted weird. Service: pretty slow since we came during busy hours. Friendly staff though Ambiance: cozy, great for family, modern, love it! Would come again if I have a lamb craving!!! The breading dipped into the stew was DELICIOUS read more

Pleasantly surprised to find a Mongolian restaurant with foods that tasted like what we ate while in Inner Mongolia, China. Lots of complimentary appetizers like your choice of yogurt or Mongolian Milk Tea (mengzu nai cha). Meals come with access to the soup and sauce bar with all-you-can drink lamb soup (yang tang). Menu has a wide selection of dishes. We like lamb so we tried the "desert style" roasted lamb chops. They came with fries and crispy topping which had nice crispy texture. We requested non-spicy and I kinda regret that because there seemed to be something missing. The meat will give your teeth a workout, but that's exactly the way it's supposed to be! I saw there were roasted beef ribs on the menu too and saw other patrons ordered that and they looked delicious too. Maybe we'll try that next time, and yes we'll definitely be eating here again! read more

We have a very high expectation for this restaurant in Rowland Highs but we're quite disappointed after the first visit. We tried the lamb offal soup that was supposed to be the best in a restaurant for lamb. However it doesn't taste very good. The color is greenish as you can see, and the taste is surprisingly gamy. I have to say this is the most gamy lamb soup I've ever had, and I grew up eating a lot of lamb. NOT RECOMMENDED! Concerning the space and their services, I would say they're all decent. Good environment and self served areas for sauces and utensils. Maybe a bit difficult to park during lunch hours or weekends. read more

They use fresh flowers for decoration which is very refreshing. They offer free yogurt or milk tea. I tried the yogurt which is very good. They also offer free lamb soup. It's also very good too. We ordered three dishes and they are all very good. They charge 15% percent of tips automatically. I'm fine with it because they offer a lot of free items. There were two servers served us tonight. One was very friendly and nice. The other one was very indifferent. Overall, I would come back for their yogurt and lamb ribs. read more

All the dishes we ordered are very tasty, beyond my expectation. 1) lamb pot with radish. It's soo good, if you love lamb. The soup is thick, meat is tender. 2) spicy crispy lamb. Tons of flavor, I can't stop eating it! 3) Homemade Meat Pie is a must! It's the best meat pie I had in US by far, no kidding! The servers here are also very friendly. Overall, nice food with good experience, would recommend to all people. read more

Stopped by Mongolian Home Made Pie and loved it! I've never had real Mongolian food, so I was curious how it would be. My only exposure to "Mongolian" food up to now were those places you see at the mall where you pick the meats and veggies in a bowl and they fry it on the giant round grill with noodles. The Salt and Pepper Lamb was crispy, flavorful, and just perfect. Their homemade pies were also very good. They were like giant soup dumplings with similar flavor also. Plus, the Mongolian yogurt with fresh strawberries was a refreshing end to the meal. Definitely recommend this place, I would recommend going earlier, because as we were leaving the place was getting crowded with a line outside. read more

We were very satisfied with all the dishes we ordered. We didn't get the popular lamb stew but got the lamb offal soup instead. We also ordered the potato salad and meat pies. The portions were huge. The lamb soup was my favorite. It was not gamey yet has strong lamb flavor. You have to add the salt and spices on your own but it gives you option to customize the taste. They have a sauce bar with great selection of sauces and spices to choose from. They also provide complementary lamb soup which was just as good. I have been looking for lamb soup which is hard to find, so I was very happy to find this place. The interior was very new and clean. The restaurant was spacious, so it can be good for large groups. Most of the dishes are for sharing. I would like to come back with more people to try more dishes. read more

If you're looking for some authentic Mongolian food this is a great choice! This is a new restaurant opened in the ever busy Mandarin Plaza directly next door to Baekjeong KBBQ. This place is not very big overall so it gets packed! They do take RSVP, if they happen to answer the phone. This place is super short staffed so the service and wait times are pretty atrocious. We came for super early dinner on new years eve right when they opened to guarantee a table for our large party of 12. They only have 4-5 total large party tables available with the rest being booth sized tables that seat a max of 6 comfortably. The menu is fairly small with two pages. They only speak mandarin/mongolian here so if you only speak english you likely will struggle or be ignored. Bring a native Chinese speaker friend to help you order! Note if you want faster service you need to order any of the signature items and stay away from non popular items. Part of our group was vegetarian and any veggie stir fry dish took literally twice the time to get served as the meat dishes. The best items are definitely the any of the lamb dishes. The items 1-10 are all of their signature hot pot dishes. All are served in a beautiful Mongolian style painted pot. We got the signature lamb pot and it was delicious! Note traditional Mongolian food is cooked very basic and bland! You literally self season with salt, sugar, or seasoning yourself available at the sauce bar! This is where you also have unlimited lamb soup refills for your hotpot or egg drop soup available. The other signature items worth mentioning are the Cumin Lamb shanks. If you love traditional Chinese style Cumin bbq flavor profiles this is totally your jam! The lamb chops are fried to perfect tender perfection and seasoned with cumin, japapinos, and stir fried with peppers and red chilis. Yes its a spicy and savory dish but so delicious. The Mongolian Homemade pies with ground beef inside are just OK but another signature item. It's like a plain onion pancake texture with ground beef. It's neither crispy nor flavorful and like a rice substitute for your carbs. Note the service here again is ATROCIOUS so be warned! It's literally self service even for your leftover togo boxes. There's a stack in the corner to get yourself. Utensils, napkins, bowls are all self serve at the sauce bar area. You'll need to be aggressive to waive down the limited waitresses for any water or even to get the check. Overall a good dining experience for medium to large groups. Not recommended for small groups like 2-3 people since portion sizes are huge unless you have a huge appetite. read more

The 1 star review is for hygiene and service. They have recently started charging a min 15% service fee. Which would be completely okay if the service wasn't terrible. We have been coming to this place for a while and the food has always been good. Today we thought we would switch it up and get cumin lamb. First piece was delicious second piece was rancid. The meat was so rancid even the spices didn't cover it. We told the waitress and instead of saying sorry she tried to justify it by saying, maybe we just didn't like the flavor. They took the dish off our bill so we ordered the salt and pepper lamb. Our usual order. When it came out, the male server who was cleaning up the table right next to us went to grab the order. He was grabbing trash and cleaning the other table with gloves on and instead of taking them off to grab our food, he used the same, unwashed glove to grab our food. When we asked him about it he got defensive and said " oh so you don't want this dish either?" We said "no, but you were just cleaning picking up trash, did you change your glove?" He said, " no I didn't change my glove. Next time I'll be more careful." He dropped off our dish and went back to cleaning and with the same glove kept going to every table to take orders and deliver food. I'm Asian and I temper my service expectations at most Asian places but if you're going to charge 15% mandatory service charge at least earn it. It doesn't need to be amazing service but baseline hygiene shouldn't be something we should have to pay extra for. The food items are generally pretty good and the free lamb soup is a nice touch. However given their poor hygiene practice I doubt I'll be returning. This is how they operate in the open because no one pays attention and calls them out on it. They think it's okay to continue to do the same thing over and over again. I can't imagine how dirty it much be and unhygienic in the back kitchen where we can't see them. read more

You can always trust the taste of people who grew up eating beef and mutton! Mongolia is a nation on horseback, and Mongolian-style grilled meat is truly exceptional! The meat quality is excellent, I especially recommend the salt and pepper lamb chops, lamb wrapped in tripe, and cheese beef pie. The lamb dumplings are also fresh and full of ingredients. It's a paradise for meat lovers! The men in my family absolutely love this restaurant. Can't wait to visit again to try something different BTW, home made Yogurt is Must have. Very milky but Not too sweet read more

First time having Mongolian home made pie! This was so good! The pie was definitely made to order, and the food came within 10 minutes. When the pie came out it was piping hot, so be careful when eating! The meat flavor was delicious, but surprisingly the inside of the pie felt like a soup almost. I wish the crust of the pie was more crunchy since they would have made it better, but overall I liked this order and would consider getting again read more
