About Khatun Mongolian Restaurant

Tucked off the Cavill Avenue arcade side, Khatun delivers real-deal Mongolian cooking far removed from stir-fry buffets. Expect steam-filled baskets of handmade buuz dumplings packed with hand-diced beef alongside crispy, savoury khuushuur pocket pastries. Regulars come hungry for communal platters of fall-off-the-bone lamb and stir-fried tsuivan noodles tossed with beef and chili oil. Between courses, the hosts share traditional games with sheep ankle bones or invite guests to try on folk headwear alongside cups of warm, savoury milk tea.

  • Handmade Dumplings & Pastries: Steamed buuz dumplings and golden khuushuur pastries are prepared daily by hand with juicy seasoned beef.
  • Interactive Cultural Touches: Hosts welcome diners with folk headwear to try on and traditional sheep ankle bone games between courses.
  • Communal Meat Feasts: Generous BBQ platters loaded with tender slow-cooked lamb and beef are built for group sharing.

Authentic scratch-made cuisine, interactive cultural traditions, and heartfelt hospitality in Surfers Paradise

  • Handmade Dumplings and Pastries

    Handmade buuz dumplings and golden fried khuushuur are prepared daily from scratch, delivering juicy, authentic regional flavors that stand out from commercial stir-fries.

    The buuz and Home Khuushuur were honestly the best I’ve had in Australia. They tasted so authentic and brought back memories of home.

  • Pure, Hearty Meat Specialties

    Traditional dishes like tsuivan and slow-cooked Mongolian BBQ showcase succulent, natural meats prepared without artificial seasonings.

    What impressed me even more was how natural and healthy everything felt—no artificial seasonings, just pure, authentic flavors.

  • Home Khuushuur

    The buuz and Home Khuushuur were honestly the best I’ve had in Australia.

  • Tsuivan

    Stir-fried handmade noodles with beef and vegetables. The beef chops are succulent and some of them are fatty which I prefer. But the texture of noodles is something I wouldn’t expect, it’s unique, soft and slightly crispy at the same time.
