***THIS IS A JAMAICAN RESTAURANT / NOT CLOSED*** Food is good (not great). Satisfys my carribean taste and I live in the area. The best dish is the oxtail!! The curry chicken didn't have enough flavor to me. Owner is very nice as well. Overall a good experience.

Do not let the name of this resturant fool you. This is hands down the place that has THE best jamaican food i have ever had!. Highly recommend the J*** Chicken. Food was ordered thru grubhub. My only complaint is that the delivery guy had a stench of cigarettes, which transferred to the plastic bag the food was delivered in.

Honestly, I don't know how to star this review because the Mongolian restaurant is CLOSED and it's now a Jamaican restaurant, supposedly with the same name though?!? I just want to warn other people and draw attention to this fact because I tried to go here for the first time tonight and was totally shocked when I arrived that the original restaurant no longer exists. See the reviews below for the new Jamaican place. The man that worked there was super sweet and asked if I'd like to try anything but I just wasn't in the mood for Jamaican so I can't comment on the food. I do think a new review page or clarification would be helpful because it's very confusing.

If you've had "Mongolian BBQ" at chinese restaurants YOU'VE BEEN FOOLED BUDDY! This is where it's at if you're looking for authentic home made from scratch Mongolian soul food man. I had the milk tea with dumplings which made me sweat like I was in sauna. Most of all great customer service, owner great guy! It reminded me of my grandmothers cooking back home, great to have a real Mongolian food in the area!

Tasty, good-value Mongolian and Japanese. Sometimes some of the Japanese items are out, but the value is so good!

Food is good but a bit too warm inside the building

Mongol Nomad makes craymazing patties. The end. Wait, no, they also make a damn fine j*** chicken. It's all very confusing as I was expecting Mongolian food and found delicious carribean/Jamaican tastiness instead. No regrets (some regrets, I kept eating even though I was full to bursting. Dinner platters are freaking huge and could easily feed two people. But always always always order the patties. Beef patties are my favorite, but they had a special one that was also super tasty. I'd also ordered Coco bread which is like Kings Hawaiian bread but the size of your hand. I think it would be great if they offered home made hot sauce or something as a side to order.

HOW IS THIS PLACE IN BuSiNeSS? Good lord have mercy. The place looks like s*** and the food is ALWAYS late . Placed order two times through amazon. One time the order was 45 minutes late , second time guy said he never received the order and then went on to say it will take 5 minutes . Well guess what it didn't take 5 minutes it took 45 minutes and my food is STILL not out. The place looks disgusting why are people wasting time and money on this s*** hole? So mad right now

Terrible customer service. Ordered once and after 2 hours of waiting for delivery, we were notified that the kitchen closed before getting to our order. Gave them a second chance and ordered earlier in the day but this time, they delivered 1 oxtail instead of 2 and gave us 2 chicken patties when we ordered beef patties. Food was salty, rice was cold and oxtail meal consisted of bones and butter beans with potatoes. There was a little kick which was appreciated but otherwise unless you're a fan of bone sucking you won't get much delight from this meal and will be quite aggravated.

I went looking for Mongolian dumplings and noodles but found that as of September 1st, 2018, Mongol Nomads is now Mongol Nomads Caribbean Asian Fusion: A little Asian, A LOT Caribbean. Fans of Mongolian food might find the Oxtail Stew to their liking. I like Caribbean food too, so I was happy with the Chicken Curry and and a Ginger Bear. The new proprietor told me he is looking for another Mongolian cook to satisfy all the old customers who still want Mongolian food. Xeroxed menus, food served in styrofoam with plastic utensils, and a couple seats at a window counter. This isn't a place to take a date, its a place to satisfy a craving.

Great authentic Mongolian food!

2 for two ordering from here. No difficulties from the restaurant and/or ordering service. The lamb with hand-made noodles instead of rice was worth well more than the 10/12 dollars it cost, and could be enough for two meals. Even the chicken soup was worth noting. The beef salad could also be a meal, for just $5. Some places shouldn't change. This is one of them.

Ordered a variety of different foods, 5 different dishes. All 5 were nearly inedible, both strange in flavor and unfortunate aftertastes. Had heard great things about Mongolian dumplings, and the chicken and beef buuz had a nice presentation, but also carried a disagreeable flavor and aftertaste. I've traveled quite a bit, but never to Mongolia. I suspect that Mongolians and Mongolia-philes may be accustomed to the flavors, but we weren't able to stomach the food.
