3 weeks agoLoved the food and great portion size. Very reasonable prices too, loved the mixed meat fried rice, not sure they're serving the thukpa with meat broth tho but it will be great if they do cause it was quiet plain when I tried.

a month agoThe food is inexpensive and delicious, making it popular with tourists. Red Panda Beer is a distinctive beer with a slightly sour taste that's addictively delicious.

a month agoI'm Japanese. I used this restaurant based on a recommendation from my guide. It's apparently a popular local restaurant. The prices were relatively cheap, but since it was included in the tour, that didn't seem to matter much. In Bhutan, they eat something called momo, which is similar to Japanese dumplings, so I ordered it. It seems there are momo with potatoes and vegetables in addition to meat. Each one was quite large and very filling. They were well-seasoned and delicious, even without dipping sauce. In Bhutan, like in Japan, rice is the staple food, and there were many soups and curries eaten with rice. Everything was on the spicier side, but the taste was very good.
