Hulun Beir Mongolian Food Somerville

August 29, 2018 by Rich 18 Comments

[3.84/5] I never had a restaurant that specialized in Mongolian Cuisine before. The only Mongolian coined foods I had in the states are Spicy “Mongolian” Hot Pot Broth or PF Chang’s “Mongolian” Beef. I came here out of curiosity because I swear by my motto of trying anything (food, that is) once.  

Review #041
Restaurant Type: Casual Dining.
My short summary sentence: Genghis Khan’s name could make a great rap hook. Mark my words, one of these days it will happen.

Food (65%)
Taste to price 4/5
Quality to price 3/5
Portion to price 4/5
Average = 3.67

Service (20%)  
Friendliness 3.5/5
Promptness 4/5
Average = 3.75

Cleanliness (15%)
Bathroom 4/5
Dining area 5/5
Kitchen area 5/5
Average = 4.67

Overall Score = [F(.65)]+[S(.20)]+C(.15)]
   = [2.39]+[0.75]+[0.7]
   = 3.84

The Pluses…  
+ Minimally designed menu and streamlined operation. The food is quick and easy on the tongue.  
+ Great for lunch and takeout.
+ Since it’s across the street from the Davis T stop, it makes great takeout dinners for those coming home from their commutes. Easy parking too.
+ Prices are very decent 🙂  

The Negs…
– The rock pot is not new as it’s been around for thousands of years but we’re starting to see it more in and around Boston which is great for Asian Cuisine but both rock pots I had (ROCK POT PORK RIBS and ROCK POT BEEF) was just OK. It could be more flavorful imo.

The Neutrals…
o I think if you’re new to Asian cuisine this is a pleasant gateway.
o This place has a lot of promise. I expect them to make adjustments along the way as I came during their soft opening. Good Luck to the owners!

Happy Lamb Hot Pot Cambridge

August 27, 2018 by Rich 17 Comments

[4.11/5] I was getting tired of my usual hot pot stops and wanted to try something different for once. Happy Lamb, you guys have great reviews and I happen to be in the area so, why not?

Review #039
Restaurant Type: Casual Dining.
My short summary sentence: Keep the lambs happy and you’ll keep me around.

Food (65%)
Taste to price 4/5
Quality to price 4/5
Portion to price 4.5/5
Average = 4.17

Service (20%)  
Friendliness 4/5
Promptness 4/5
Average = 4

Cleanliness (15%)
Bathroom n/a
Dining area 4/5
Kitchen area 4/5
Average = 4

Overall Score = [F(.65)]+[S(.20)]+C(.15)]
   = [2.71]+[0.8]+[0.6]
   = 4.11

The Pluses…  
+ Great Lunch Menu at approx. $13!
+ You get to choose a protein, broth, and comes   with a set of veggies.
+ The variety of veggies is pretty good.  
+ Large selection of meats and veggies.
+ Great portion sizes. Not too much and not too little.
+ The slices of the meat was nice. Not overly frozen like some places.
+ Friendly waiter and a clean kitchen.
+ Broth was full of flavor :). Lot of herbs and spices most notably cumin.
+ Delicious Lamb Skewers! They were perfectly tender and hot! They should make a Chili Powder option. I would have loved it sprinkled all over.

The Negatives…
– No major negatives here.

The Neutral…
o Broth was a little salty which make sense since dipping sauce is not encouraged.
o I repeat, this is not the place for dipping! In case you absolutely need to dippity-dip, they have Sesame oil, Sesame Sauce, Minced Garlic, and Chili.
o Despite having only one waiter (who was also, strangely, the host) for the whole restaurant, he was pretty efficient. I don’t recall needing to find the waiter to get my water filled or something else. He always came before I needed anything.
