If the words "Northwest cuisine" and "Mongolian" appear at the same time, then you are likely to associate Xibei. Naadam Mongolian Flavor Restaurant is like the cost-effective Xibei Noodle Village many years ago, with a strong combination of Mongolian-style sheep banquet and Shaanxi and Jin noodles, with high-quality service and elegant environment.
Naadam is a mecca for sheep eating, and the number of mutton-related dishes in the store is about twice that of Xibei Noodle Village. The shape of the huge roast lamb bone stick is actually not much meat, the charcoal fire did not let the bone stick lose its moisture, the meat is lean, the mutton fat is not much, after the stomach is not full, but it is still unfinished, 28 yuan a piece, when there are few people as an appetizer, it is very suitable, when there are many diners, it seems that the cost performance is low.
The roast whole sheep in the new menu has been renamed Inner Mongolia New Roast Suckling Sheep, and the whole lamb is about 15 catties on the table. The secret roast lamb chops are a veritable new dish, and the Fuguang sand tea sauce is perfectly integrated with the Inner Mongolia lamb, compared with the cookie-cutter cumin lamb chops, the secret roast lamb chops are more fresh and sweet, and the sauce preparation method deviates from the Inner Mongolian flavor, but many northwest customers still praise it.
Named as a Shandong cuisine, it is very popular in North China and has had a profound impact on the eating habits of eastern Inner Mongolia. Consumers with a sweet tooth should not miss this dish, it has a creamy aroma and a crispy and sweet appearance, and it is best to taste it when eating more than 2 people, it will appear overly sweet after a long time, which will increase the feeling of satiety.
Compared to the rich lamb dishes, Naadam's staple food is more reminiscent of Xibei. The noodles are 15 yuan a cage, the amount is more than Xibei, and it is recommended to eat it with mutton and mushroom soup. There are not many diced lean meat in the soup, and there are three or two pieces of mutton fat floating in it, and there is reason to suspect that the weak flavor of the mutton in the soup comes from these inconspicuous fats. The characteristic flavor of mutton and mushroom soup is weak, and the tomato and a small amount of coriander in the soup bring more freshness, which well fulfills the responsibility of the staple food with soup.
Mongolian milk tea is made from green brick tea and fresh milk, and there will be a small amount of chewing grams (fermented milk) and salt in the tea. Compared with Hong Kong-style milk tea, the most obvious feature of Mongolian-style milk tea is that it is salty and fresh, which may not be accepted by Lingnan diners. Those who think that instant Mongolian milk tea is delicious should not miss Naadam's fragrant milk tea, which has a silkier taste and a more fragrant tea flavor than instant tea, compared to Mongolian cheese for 6 yuan a piece, which has the same taste as the hot sale in the supermarket. Grilled lamb chops can be used as a main course, keletto sticks are used for "appetizers", and if you are still not satisfied with a meal for three or two, you can choose raw kebabs. Naadam's meat skewers are not seasoned much, and they are more "original" than most street stalls, and what is more intimate is that you can order only 1 skewer, and the store's business philosophy is commendable.
Naadam Mongolian Restaurant has been in business for nearly 20 years, and has been exploring and improving the taste of dishes, but it has never deviated from the positioning of Mongolian food. In 2017, the store was renovated, and the symbolic wall carvings of the Mongolian people were transformed into huge paintings depicting the life of herders, the floor was not as oily as in the past, the wooden chairs were replaced with comfortable cotton chairs, and the improvement of the box environment was more obvious, and the old wooden furniture successfully showed the nomadic characteristics. Naadam's small box can accommodate 8 people, and the minimum consumption is 500 yuan; The large box can accommodate 12 people, and the minimum cost is 800 yuan. It should be noted that Naadam's box has no windows and is not well ventilated.
In terms of service, Naadam has no obvious shortcomings, and the welcome staff is thoughtful and enthusiastic, and can make suggestions to customers on the matching of dishes, but the speed of serving is slow. The small details of the waiters are not perfect, and the guests need to refill their own water. Prospective diners are advised to arrive by 18:00, otherwise they will most likely need to wait in line.
