Arvin restaurant

11/18/23 - I finally got to try this place on a Saturday night around 6:45 pm. They close at 8 pm. We got the place to ourselves since every customer that came in, got take out. I also took a bunch of pictures since it was difficult trying to find the menu with English translations online. Service was fantastic, it was family owned and they were extremely nice. Prices were on the cheaper side. You get a humongous portion of food by the way, so I recommend using the leftovers as your meal for work the next 2-3 days.-milk tea 5/5 - very hot. It’s not your typical milk tea. This version is more like a saltier broth that you drink on a cold day. 1 per person and they give you a lot.-huushuur - traditional Mongolian homestyle fried beef dumplings 5/5 - this is probably my favorite dish. Be careful when eating because it is extremely hot when you bite into it. Hold it upright so that the juice doesn’t fall out, it’s very flavorful when you eat it all together.-buuz - traditional steamed dumplings 5/5 - these will look different than the dumplings everyone is accustomed to. In the picture, you’ll see they are folded differently. Meat inside is very delectable and succulent.-sharsan ovchuu - fried brisket meat with vegetables and steamed flatbread 5/5 - i recommend eating the meat with the fat, it gives it more flavor. You got potatoes and carrots with it. You tear the flatbread in pieces to eat it with everything else.-tavan tsuliin shol - sheep offal soup 5/5 - this is intestines so if you’re squeamish then skip. If you’re adventurous, this is one of the best soups I’ve ever had. They have blood sausage in it and it tasted very good with the broth. Normally I hate blood sausage after having it in Puerto Rico and Spain, but I love this version.Btw ignore the previous 1 star reviews. Plenty of space to sit and eat. They give you a menu to look at. If they can’t provide a legit reason for the 1 star then it’s fake.This place is on my list of restaurants to try out. However, I’m giving them a 1/5 because they were closed when I got there. I went during their open hours. They had a sign in the window but I wished they notified people on their social media. I’ll update my review on my second attempt of going there.

My husband and I came here for dine in.The owner is nice and recommended some dishes. We ordered fried dumplings, boiled (or steamed) beef with root vegetables, and beef soup with steam noodles. We like all the dishes and meat quality is so good! Price is around 17 per dish and the portion size is huge. Salty milk tea is complimentary for dine in customers. I had Mongolian food before when I traveled to Central Asia and from my opinion this place is authentic. Definitely will be coming back to try out more dishes.

Perfect little spot to enjoy some good food. I came in with my friend for the first time, not knowing what to get. Not sure the names but the food was absolutely delicious. Decent price for big portions. The service was amazingly and super friendly. Definitely give this place a try.

Very authentic Mongolian cuisine. The mutton soup and steamed buns are delicious.

Really authentic Mongolian cuisine extremely well prepared. The beef dumplings (buuz) and huushuur fried meat pies are so juicy and perfectly seasoned. The brisket dish is really unique it comes with a dumpling type wrapper and you eat it with carrots and potatoes. Super tender and melts in the mouth. Their ingredients are top notch you can tell by the taste of the meat. Just to be adventurous I tried the sheep offal soup. It was strong but really really tasty. So hearty. Again you can tell how clean the mutton is that they used based on the taste of the soup. Highly highly recommend this place. Salted milk tea is also amazing

Finally an authentic Mongolian restaurant in town. We loved all the dishes we ordered and especially the beef dumplings with milk tea.

OMG I'm already thinking about when we're getting the chance to come back. This was our first time having authentic Mongolian food. We didn't realize how generous the portions were going to be. 2 people can easily split 1 entree. We got the glass noodles and the fresh noodles AND some dumplings thinking we might have something to take home. WRONG! WE HAVE LIKE 4 MEALS BETWEEN THE TWO OF US. Also, your meal comes with milk tea. Personally, not for me, but I'm glad I tried it. The man who waited on us was super patient and very nice. Overall, a charming little place with amazing people and food.

This is the best restaurant ever. My partner and I always come here when we are in town to eat some authentic Mongolian food. The man who runs the place is very nice and the food they serve is very high quality. I cannot recommend this restaurant enough! It’s perfect!
