Mongolia Food Guide: 10 Asian food Must-Eat Restaurants & Street Food Stalls in Mongolia

March 17, 2020 Natalie Tallman

Find out what Asian restaurants to try in Mongolia. Mongolia /mɒŋˈɡoʊliə/ ( listen) (Monggol Ulus in Mongolian; Монгол Улс in Mongolian Cyrillic) is a landlocked unitary sovereign state in East Asia. Its area is roughly equivalent with the historical territory of Outer Mongolia, and that term is sometimes used to refer to the current state. It is sandwiched between China to the south and Russia to the north. Mongolia does not share a border with Kazakhstan, although only 37 kilometres (23 mi) separates them.

Setting is usual Shangrila (excellent). Staff were inexperienced but always smiled. Some had no idea what was in the dishes and even allowing for lack of English, ordering was an unhappy event. Fried rice; a specific request not to put in meat was confirmed but the dish came with a lot of meat. Tea order confirmed confidently but never came, by which time I had given up. In China, the staff would have been berated.Dear Lankylee, Thank you for providing us with a feedback which allows us to continually improve our service standards and food qualities. I have shared your comments with our team and will ensure necessary improvements. We appreciate your time in sharing this review and hope to have another opportunity to welcome you back soon!Sincerely, Terence Tan | General Manager

BD's Mongolian Barbeque

Reviewed By AudreyH8

Friendly and helpful staff, & is a fun place where you can select your own veg and meat and concoct your own sauces, then watch the chef stir-fry this on the hot plate. I was really disappointed with the meal - I have really tasty Mongolian BBQ in HK & in London & was really looking forward to the real deal here but the restaurant seemed to principally cater to large tour groups.

My Mongolian host took me to this restaurant for Sunday lunch. It is a good introduction to Mongolian food, with menus full of photos and English explanations. There is a huge variety of drinks and dishes to choose from, even for vegetarians. I wouldn't call what I had very tasty, but it was interesting.Service is a bit slow, so it is best to have a meal here if you are not in a hurry. Prices are very reasonable.

Ate here while in the city of Ulaanbataar. We had a delicious meal in a small private room. You chose a soup into which you add noodles, meat and veg. You turn on a hot plate and your dish cooks in front of you. The result is unique and delicious. It's great for both meat eaters and vegetarians. I would definately recommend it.

Having spent two weeks in the countryside eating mutton, it was a delight to find this small vegan restaurant in the streets of Ulaanbaatar. Not only was the food good, it was very cheap. A vegan burger and chips, and veggie spaghetti bolognaise came to 25,000MNT (around $9.50). The restaurant is two rooms in an older style building. Service was certainly friendly although had to wait around 15 minutes for the food to come out. Well worth the 10 minute walk down here from the Holiday Inn.
