Yuna Korean restaurant — Restaurant in Ulaanbaatar

Yuna in Mongolia gets a passable rating due to the country's limited culinary scene. The food is tolerable, but service is lacking, and prices may surprise some.

Full review: Yuna in Mongolia presents a mixed experience. In a country where culinary standards may not match those of more developed regions, Yuna manages to offer a passable dining option. The restaurant's interior is decently designed, with ample lighting and a spacious feel, a welcome departure from some cramped dining establishments in the area. The menu features Korean cuisine staples like kimchi fried rice with eggs, kimbap, and chicken, which are serviceable but not exceptional. The Korean-style rice, however, stands out as a marked improvement over some Chinese restaurants that offer brittle, dry rice in the region.

Despite the decent food, Yuna falls short in several areas. The service, for one, is lacking. Our food took a while to arrive, and we had to remind the waiter about one of our orders, which they had apparently forgotten. Additionally, the staff's language skills are limited, with no one proficient in English, Korean, or other languages besides Mongolian. This language barrier, combined with a lack of effort to use translation apps, can make communication challenging for non-Mongolian speakers.

Finding the restaurant within the building was also a bit of a hassle, as poor signage and an unclear entrance forced us to circle back until we found the correct entrance. The prices may also surprise some diners, considering the overall quality of the experience.

The plum juices we ordered, was neither carbonated as indicated on the menu nor particularly tasty. It probably doesn't help that Mongolia receives far too many products from countries that offer inferior goods like China and Russia.

Furthermore, the hygiene practices at Yuna left something to be desired. The ice cream, located in an easily accessible area, was handled by children who opened the freezer freely, potentially contaminating the dessert with their germs.

Yuna offers a passable dining experience in Mongolia, particularly considering the limited options available. While the food is acceptable, the service, pricing, and hygiene practices could be improved to enhance the overall...

Save your money and go elsewhere to eat. This restaurant chain is always advertising on TV so we went to try but was an epic failure. Firstly, you can just sit anywhere because no one is at the door to greet you or tell you where your reserved seats are at. Secondly, the place is absolutely cold, the heater isn't working apparently and we had to eat in our winter outer wears. They only had 2 servers and they look so stressed and that shows in their interactions with us. Didn't get a thank you after we paid out bills (the least they could do is to say thank you, omg).Moreover, the order took 50mins to arrive at our table. We can see the chefs through the glass and can see them working so slowly and looking at the phones while a number of tables were waiting for their food. Saw a couple of them leave before their food came. Probably waited too long. Unsurprisingly, it didn't taste as good as they claim to be in their TV ads. Should've read the reviews here before coming to this place and waste our money. The place is actually decorated nicely tho, that's the only good thing. What a sad place. Please improve or hire...

Do not be deterred by the low number of reviews , this place is absolutely delicious , we had the seafood bowl and a soy y por bowl. All the other tables were full as well and we did not see one plate for to the kitchen with food still on it ! Would highly...
