Always busy, good to sit at the terrace in the summer. Food portion is huge, and best cocktails in UB. More

I went here for breakfast one day with my friends. The interior is a cross between a diner and an upscale hotel restaurant. But because it is a mix of both, it wasn't really working for me. I ordered the brioche breakfast. Silly me for thinking it was actually going to come on a brioche bun (yea...negative on that..). It... More

I was in UB for 16 days and this was my favorite meal. I had the tofu/veggie stir fry and it was delicious. Those who got the salmon were disappointed, but hey, who orders salmon in UB! My meal and my cocktail were really good. And those who got the chocolate cake for dessert said it was excellent. My carrot... More

A huge menu with a lot of stuff to choose from. Even too much in my opinion, but this time this kind of huge menu with pictures worked quite fine. It is expensive, especially as you're in Ulanbaatar! But if you look for big portions and american food, this is rather good place for that. The atmosphere was nice on... More

Still hankering for Tex Mex (see review of Los Bandidos earlier this month), I decided try California, which I hadn’t been to for two years because, although the cocktails were works of art, the food was always truly terrible. In summer California now puts a tent up outside on the pavement. It is cool and sheltered from the dust in... More

The prices are high for Ulaanbaatar. The service is slow and inattentive. The food is greasy and leaves you disappointed. But it does have some nice decorations. Becomes a smoky pub after 9 p.m. More

There are many European or American visitors. Not only lanch and dinner time, restaurant is always busy. If you want to drink beer, cocktail and western liquor, it is good place to visit. More

We've eaten at California a couple of times for breakfast. Generally, it's been a bit pricey but good food and reasonable service. The last time we went, though, they were out of Starbucks coffee. They gave me Folger's instant and charged me the same price as Starbucks. Not cool! More
