Best KPortal Reviews

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.
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.
Visiting Arvin, a cozy Mongolian cafe, turned out to be a heartwarming adventure. Their Suttei Tsai, a traditional Mongolian salted milk tea, was a standout experience. This unique blend of savory and comforting flavors was not just a drink; it was a delightful journey in every sip, offering a taste of Mongolia's rich culinary heritage.
The menu at Arvin brought to life the essence of Mongolia, with each dish showcasing a passion for authentic flavors and fresh ingredients. The ambiance of the cafe added to its charm, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere that felt like a little piece of Mongolia. The welcoming staff made the dining experience even more pleasant, ensuring a memorable meal from start to finish.
In short, Arvin is a must-visit for those keen on exploring new and exciting culinary horizons. The Suttei Tsai alone is worth the trip, offering a glimpse into the unique tastes of Mongolia, while the rest of the menu promises a flavorful adventure that's sure to captivate.
Incredibly delicious and cozy! I would give it not 5 stars, but 10, if I could :)
Today was our first time here - but it’s already one of our favorite cafes, and we will definitely keep coming back again and again ☺️
I recommend it to everyone!
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
Quick and friendly service. Food portions were large, filling, and delicious.
Got takeout dumplings which are on the pricier side but trust me they are SO GOOD and VERY FILLING.
Too much for 1 person in my opinion haha so I have yummy leftovers :)
I love Mongolian food! This place is amazing for it.
Very delicious noodle! Im usually not a fan of innards but the stomach was surprisingly good. Not chewy nor stinky. It is the very first mongolian dish I ever had and I am glad I gave it a shot. I also tried their salted milk tea. I wouldn’t ever crave it but it was an interesting flavor. Service was good. Place is small and a lot of mongolian customers were going in and out while we were dining.
It is a little pricey at $17 for every dish but they dont exactly have many competition either I guess.
