I dunno why it has 4.5 stars. - I booked a table, but it wasn't on the list. - Mongyu steak was supposed to be cooked well done, but it was totally red inside. Lamb and dry aged steak were pure raw meat. Couldnt even cut and chew. - None of the staffs hadnt care how the meal goes. It's too expensive for the raw meats and service fee for no-service. I'd rather cook for myself.

Oh yes! Something that surprised me about the food in Mongolia was how well they cook Western cuisine. I prefer trying the local delicacies, but my townie wife ended up taking me to many of her favourite restaurants. They happened to include a lot of Western style cuisine. That said, Chojin Temple Restaurant is a MUST! The food here was better than anything I had ever expected. This was also the first restaurant where the service was exceptional. Service isn't necessarily a standard in restaurants in Ulaanbaatar, but that's just the culture and my colonialist expectations of "service". It was nice to have that extra bit on top of the delicious food to make the experience 5 star though. The Organic Immune Boost Tea was fresh and calming with a slight tart aftertaste because of the seabuckthorn. I had the Chojin Special Steak which came with a side of creamy bone marrow! What a side! The standard veggies and mash also came with it making the dish quite large. The steak was done as I asked, medium rare, which is impressive considering the thinness of the steak. A great dish with a nice presentation. My wife had the Marrow Risotto which had a tenderloin as a garnsih!! Also, the amount of parmesan cheese in it made it extra creamy and pungent in taste. There was so much going on, but it all worked extremely well together. The crème brûlée was tasty, but the cream wasn't as smooth as it could have been. That said, if it had of been the regular thick cream I'm used to, I don't think we would have been able to finish. The portions were incredible. I suggest getting dinner here after visiting Chojin Temple next door.

The place is chaos. When we ordered grilled salmon salad they gave us grilled salmon steak without our knowledge and charged us like 3 times the dish we ordered. And in the salmon steak there was full of little bones that could chose us to death. I'm furious man. Also when we ordered a cup of tea they bring us pot of tea which is like 200ml? And charged us 3 times the price too. Okay and lastly shamelessly they charged us with receptionist tip oh my God unbelievable. They did not include the actual price on the menu too. They add like 11-12% on the price of the menu and it's terrible. I felt like I was scammed at some point. I highly did not recommend this place.

It will be my the second best place in ub to eat

Went here by myself early on a Friday as I didn't have a reservation. Ordered the special steak and creme brulee. Had a very pleasant meal, food was good and flavourful, staff were friendly. Would recommend to try if you have a hankering for steak. The steak was tender and the dessert was very smooth and silky.

The food is pricey, the location is easy to find. Walking distance from chojin lama temple. If you're looking for Mongolian food, there is none here. This place are mend for people who are looking for western food..plenty of parking around

There is a lot of good quality food available at low prices. The food is very tasty to eat. I will come again

A bit pricely, the ambience and food are average. I recommend lasagna if you like eat pasta.

Great food and reasonably priced. Got the Steak and the Pomelo salad. Loved them.

If you are looking for a restaurant in the centre of UB, this is definitely the pick of the litter. Decent menu that caters for all tastes, vegetarian, vegan, gluten free options etc. Service is mostly very good. Great rissoto dishes (bone marrow & steak a personal favourite) and about the only restaurant I know that actually serves lamb, not mutton, but lamb. That's a rare treat in Mongolia.

The worst risotto I’ve ever had. Did they forget the seasoning or was it supposed to be that bland? Even the cheese was tasteless. At least the steak was decent, but still not enough to help the rest of the dish.

This place has classy atmosphere and the staff were top notch. I had the pumkin soup. A+ if you dio the delicious bread and add the 2nd dipping sauce 😋 👌 make Reservations cuz it gets packed

Guys. this place is amazing. creme pasta was beyond my expectation. for the steak, i ordered bluecheese steak( which was not listed on the menu but thet serve ) you better let them know whether you wanted it medium or rare. if you dont mention it, you will just get the steak with well done and it is hard to chew ! BUT taste was so good. worth to try. make sure that price is quite expensive than the other restaurants in mongolia. i went there twice and there was no seat as i didnt make a reservation in advance. if you dont want to waste any minute, make reservation first :) manager is so good at Eng.

I ordered bone marrow risotto and was surprised to find it made with long grain rice, which I believe traditionally should be prepared with round, plump rice grains. The flavor was disappointingly weak. The pizza was average and did not justify its price on the menu. The service left much to be desired, with appetizers arriving after the main course, and the main dishes being served separately.

excellent steak, good ambience, tucked behind bluesky. spicy chicken soup yummy. prices on par with irish pub and rosewood. my long walk paid off.. will. visit again

Nice place, the overall impression is good, although the sea buckthorn tart's cheese had strange taste.

We ordered steaks and both were nice and tasty. The service was good but I would recommend learning more about serving wine. They occasionally opened the back door to receive items which made the dining hall cold.

Their steaks are one of a kind! The service is amazing as well. Really worth a try!

The food in this beautiful place is extremely delicious and the staff very attentive. Definitely recommend!

Comments specific to Choijin Lounge and Restaurant- Golden Buddah - Zaisan Went for Dinner last night. 9pm booking. Arrived. No table available. Eventually given a table. Ordered a bottle of Sparkling Wine - arrived warm. Straight from the shelf. Ordered entree and mains. Entree arrived before wine. And main meals arrived before even started entrees. Had to send back to allow us to eat entrees. Told kitchen shutting at 9.30 even though restaurant open till midnight. Salt dispenser damaged. Had hole in bottom. Salt spilled all over entrees. Requested Salt shaker be replaced. Taken away but no replacement. Had to get our own from another table. Waitstaff inattentive and had to constantly chase up for drink refills. Attitude was what an inconvenience we were to them. After Mains requested dessert menu around 10.30. Told kitchen closed. Yet restaurant open another hour and a half. Had to request to speak to Manager. Begrudgingly agreed we could have dessert. A Creme Brule and an Icecream. Couldn't even get the 3 scoops of icecream right. Happy for us to have a bottle of red wine though.... So, after spending over 400,00 Tug. We had some nice food and suffered terrible service. Extremely disappointed.

Their steak used to be good. This time we ordered a takeaway and the steaks were awful, blend tasted, cold, and no sauce provided. literally the worst t-bone steak I've ever tasted. Other people who have ordered the special steak and mongyu had same experiences. We were not even ranged to pick up the food. Who knows how long its been there getting cold. Disappointed a lot.

Had dinner at the Golden Buddha branch. The beet and orange salad was great. Mongyu steak was super soft and tasty as well as the seafood paella.

Never let down the expectation. Thankful to the chief

Good location. The Lamb shank was great. T-bone steak wasn't that good. No steak knifes given.

Zaya is absolutely the best server I met in Mongolia! Very knowledgeable about menu with good recommendations. You must order a coke here to see his amazing magic show!

My boyfriend ordered handcrafted seafood pasta and it wasn’t same as a picture also different shrimp. He said he got foodfished.
