"Wow! Words cannot describe just blown away I was. Never had Mongolian food before (and no, I'm not talking about Mongolian BBQ), and it shocked me that there's a Mongolian spot close to home all these years, and I never knew of Nadima's! Granted, it's predominantly a sushi spot, but it serves a few Mongolian dishes. That said, I ordered a few plates and got them delivered. Delivery was delayed (which isn't the restaurant's fault), but I was happily surprised that the dishes were still warm upon receiving them. First bite of the huushuur (fried meat pie), and it was heaven! Meat was juicy and tender, very flavorful from the onions. Crust was hearty, and I think if I'd toasted it a bit in the oven, it would've been perfect. Buuz (dumplings) also had flavorful, juicy meat inside and the wrapper was beautifully thin, yet resilient to hold the contents together very similar to the Shanghai xiaolongbao. The star of the show, however, was the tsuivan (stir fry noodles), which look like cabbage, but in fact are chewy, glutinous strands that were unlike any other kind of noodles I've had. Compared to the huushuur and buuz, the tsuivan isn't as flavor, but the texture was there. The only thing I'd change was the style the dishes were prepared: in other words, you have the option of original or California style (the latter including sauces and Cheetos on it). As it was my first time having Mongolian food, I would've liked to have had it on its own, without the California style added to it. But that's just a minor gripe I have. Overall, absolutely delicious, and now I'm a fan of Mongolian food. Big thank you to Nadima's for introducing me to this cuisine!"
