The 50 best foods to try in Ulaanbaatar

It was a great pleasure—not just for the eyes, but for my taste buds too! I absolutely love Modern Nomads. I waited 3 years to try their new menu, and it was totally worth it. While we were dining, there was a live performance of Mongolian folk dance and music—such a beautiful atmosphere! I truly love this place and feel so proud of our brothers and sisters who created something so special. It’s the kind of place that leaves you with the most precious memories. ❤️🇲🇳

Nomads was recommended by a local for authentic Mongolian food. The decor in the restaurant was stunning. The horse meet appetizer was delicious. I also tried the lamb dumplings, which were also amazing.

The restaurant ambience is perfect! You can feel the vibes of mongolia. Food was okay. Service was excellent. Staffs were accomodating, even though we can't understand each other, we managed to communicate smoothly 😂. Their noodle "Japanese tourist" was delicious. The noodle was so good and the meat was so fresh. The serving was big, normally for 1 person but it can be shared by two😂. Could have been tried all their other dishes but maybe next time. The noodle paired with mongolian tea was a good idea😂. That was my first time. Perfection combination 👌. Their cappuccino was good too!☕☕

Visited this restaurant for lunch during my recent trip to Mongolia. The restaurant is nicely decorated. It is a restaurant cum pub/bar/karaoke (night time) and a stage for musical performance but I believe the band plays Mongolian music. So do not expect Bon Jovi or Maroon 5 songs. They serve Mongolian food as well as Mongolian milk tea, which is essentially cow’s milk mixed with water and salt. A very unique taste. But I love the Mongolian soup. I ordered the beef soup that comes with a piece of the bone marrow and dumplings with beef and of course, big chunks of tender beef. It is filling to a hungry stomach! Some of their staffs can speak English. And they do have menu in English. Check out my YouTube channel @justbenlife3825 for more travel videos!

Excellent. Met my old Mongolian friend and his family here for a nice big dinner. We ordered a good few dishes.....the lambs head dish, some beef, some stir fries, some chicken dishes, some beef tongue...... all great, all delicious, all fabulous. The beef was my favourite, the sauce it was covered in was so good! Over some beer, and good food, and the kids also got some ice cream, we all had a great time. Lovely decor and good friendly and efficient service. This visit to experience some traditional Mongolian food and with my friend and his oh so cute family, was definitely a highlight of my trip to UB. Strongly recommended ,

Disappointed Despite Great Atmosphere The service girl kindly recommended this dish, and I was excited to try it. The atmosphere of the place was nice – traditional nomadic live music and long songs created beautiful atmosphere. However, the food was a big letdown. The meat tasted old, and there was an added flavoring that was unpleasant and overpowering. I expected much better from a place with such a great setup. Sadly, the food completely ruined the experience for me. won’t go to nomads chain again … until I hear they make it better ! I wouldn’t recommend this place. If you’re looking for good Mongolian food, you’d be better off visiting a smaller local canteen. They often serve more authentic and better-quality dishes. I paid 42,000 MNT (about 12 USD) for just one dish and a glass of water – not worth it at all.

So disappointed! We ordered Khuushuur and Bituu soup, and the meal took over 50 minutes to arrive. The food was such a letdown, especially considering it wasn’t cheap. The meat tasted old and of poor quality. After eating, I felt nauseous and my stomach was upset — even though I’m Mongolian. Such a sad experience. Don’t go there if you don’t want to upset your stomach!

Just moved to UB and this is definitely going to be a regular place to eat. A mix of healthy and comfort food ranging from western to traditional Mongolian, and all vegan. This is a rare luxury in UB and very glad to have come here.

Great Mongolian classics in vegan form. The dumpling soup was a highlight of clean subtle soup with creamy mashed peanut dumplings was superb. The Mongolian plate for main was decent, but not mind blowing. Better than loving hut but vegans should check out bosque verde, which edges it for mine.

Amazing service, delicious smoothies, and great main dishes. Large portions. We got the power lunch, Sichuan tofu, and kimchi stew, as well as a couple of smoothies and can definitely recommend all of it.

Great Taste and nice service..!! I could be a vegan if i could have that kind of fantastic and tasty foods. We ordered dumpling and salad.. both have such a great taste... Love this place.. ❤️

A vegetable oasis in a meat-oriented country. I enjoyed the presentation, taste and fair price of this place. Recommended to have a rest from usual taste (in particular after a 23days tour as mine) :)

I’ve had spinach mushroom pasta and special salad, which was beetroot spinach orange and some nuts with sauce. It was very delicious and fresh! I could only complain about the size.. too much. Don’t want to see anything thrown away so I just ate it all. Very modern place with young friendly stuff. English menue

It's a vegan restaurant centrally located in the city with a very cool ambiance and calm environment. Good variety of food, very friendly staff and quick service. If you want to try some vegan food in UB you must try this restaurant. Food taste is great. Highly recommended 👍🏻

I recently tried the Carbonara. While the sauce had a nice, rich flavor that I really enjoyed, the spaghetti itself felt a bit firm. It could have been cooked to a slightly softer texture to balance better with the creamy sauce. Additionally, the bread served alongside felt unnecessary, especially since the Carbonara itself was already quite firm. While the flavor of the sauce stood out, the overall dish could use some improvement in texture.

Went around 3:30~pm for a late lunch and had to wait around 40 minutes for the order. Food was good, albeit the lettuce they used with the falafel should have been tossed out a few days ago, but no big deal. Service was quick and pleasant. Atmosphere was ok, but some people day drinking heavily nearby were a bit loud.

From their menu /which was written detailed information about ingredients/, ordered Mexican salad to takeaway. But when I got the salad, only half of the ingredients were in the box. If there’s shortage of veggies, you don’t need to receive the order!! 0 value of money.

Really cool place. Staff can speak English very well. Food are tasty. The mood is so unique and free. But plz get here with your friend if you wanna try pizza and beer.

Nice little place. Was hungry so wanted my breakfast and something filling so went for an old reliable, an English breakfast with a pot of tea. Service was fine, and the food came quick enough. The English breakfast was pretty damn good, albeit the sausages were more Germanic than normal, but as we are far away from old Blighty I wont be complaining too much. It was pretty good fare, and filled me up. Well presented too. It took a while for the milk to come with the English breakfast tea, but it did come eventually! I don't think they got the memo that you need to drink milk with breakfast tea! Ordered a local draft beer, and man it was good, very cool, and lovely and refreshing after my breakfast. I really liked the decor in the place, and they also had a lot of greenery, especially hanging from the ceilings and from above, interesting. Even though it was early the place already had a good vibe and its a chilled out place, without being pretentious. I liked it here and strongly recommend this as a place to take it easy and relax as the day goes by. Bill came to just under 9 Euros, which wasnt too bad at all, me thinks.

Cosiest bar we found in Ulaanbatar so far! The terrace is lovely. Food was ok, lots of drinks on the menu not available, but cold draft beer 🍻

Great central place to hang out with the young local crowd. Great music, cold beer, nice terrace and cosy interior. Food is ok, but great to have something else than lamb. :D Recommend.

Lately I had a chance to check this place out. Hazard is listed first in the list of the best restaurants in Ulaanbaataar, and I will try to debunk this false statement. Let me start with the overall setting and mood of the place. Safety first. Not enough light in the middle area where there is a staircase to the second floor. I almost tripped and fell because I didn't see where the steps were. I mean, my eyesight is good, I don't wear eyeglasses. The second issue with safety is tables. They wobble a lot, and you can spill your hot drink. Also, these tables have done kind of studs poking out, making the surface of the table really uneven, adding to the risk of spilling hot drinks. I'm gonna provide videos of the table, so you can check them out on your own. These tables are uncomfortable to sit at as well you have to spread your legs really wide as if you are giving a birth to a child. Next up is noisy setting. Of course, popular places get Noisy all the time, but if the restaurant says they have partitions, they gotta be good partitions made of some kinda solid material, not these thin curtains with cut windows and u can see people sitting in the next partitions. Photo is provided. As for waitresses or servants, they are really nice. Doing their job really good. But I feel bad for them, because they need to walk up and down this staircases thousand times percday. They might have developed really strong legs. As for the food, 8 out of ten. But naan was cold. Who serves cold naans in an Indian restaurant?lentil was good. One big minus is that they don't have proper teas in teapots. They should consider adding some good tea to their menu, in addition to massala tea. That's it.

Service is quick and friendly. Food is different from most Indian restaurants here. Overall not bad.

I have visited Hazara several times when I’ve been in UB. The atmosphere is inviting and friendly. The food smells and tastes amazing. The staff are friendly and helpful. I strongly recommend!

I ordered a variety of dishes and they were all delicious.

really nice good service food is good just not spicy enough en

I went to this restaurant with my partner and just had an amazing dinner experience. The owner was extremely friendly and the food was really authentic and simply great. Can only recommend and will definitely be back.

Perfect dinner with very kindly atmosphere. Two thumbs up. I never expect good quality Indian food like this in mongolia. Although I was alone but next time I will re-visit Hazara restaurant with my family again. Thank you very much

nice terrace and good decor . the good is tasty and portions are ok. we tried different plates all tasty . steak was OK. didn't try the home made pasta . but I liked the flavors of each plate , really a place to stay well. reasonable list of wines .

A popular wine and dine spot and our usual go-to for dinner dates. The atmosphere has a nice Mediterranean vibe with vintage touches. Lately, though, the service has been slipping (likely due to new staff?). Last night there were just three servers for a full house, and they seemed overwhelmed. The restaurant was uncomfortably cold inside, which shouldn’t be blamed on the outside weather alone. I usually go for the pizza, which is still one of the best in the city. Their hummus, steaks and steak salad are excellent too. This time I tried the lamb souvlaki, but it was disappointing. Overseasoned, salty, and the side dishes were all sharp—sauerkraut, balsamic greens, raw onions. The whole plate felt overly sour and intense. Still, it’s a trusted place for group dinners in a city with limited options. But at this price point, they really need to maintain their once-great service and food quality.

Every member of our dining party enjoyed their food, and this was the highlight. The lighting and decor makes this restaurant a really delight to experience. Although service was somewhat slow, it’s well worth a visit for great food and good ambience.

Amazing food. Best restaurant in ub. Lucky to have our last meal here. Strongly recommend to try lamb.

Outstanding restaurant! We have been coming back every day for a week during the entire stay in UB. 10/10!

Amazing food, the best we had in our entire week in Mongolia !! Very highly recommended!! All the staff speak English, and the food is excellent- the chicken tagine was exceptional

Owner should hire more staffs. Busy high end restaurant. Excellent food (except the bread) Staffs are nice and attentive, they speak very well English.

It’s a 100% famous turistic place, called “Irish” but with almost ANY kind of Irish food or drink (at least the beer , but nope). The waiters are very kind, but service is extremely long, especially for grill: I’ve been told a waiting time of 40 minute and it was 1h30’… and the meat arrived cold… ultimate comment: the grill was producing an incredible quantity of smoke, obliging several customers to move the table meters away from their position… ASVISABLE IF: you want a different place to eat instead of the Mongolian traditional restaurants. NOT ADVISABLE IF: you hope to find an Irish pub and an Irish beer… for my experience not a good place in a city offering so many variety of restaurant.

Grandkhaan Irish Pub, commonly known among Mongolians simply as “Irish Pub,” has been around for 20 years. In addition to offering a wide variety of beers, the food here is truly outstanding. Not only Mongolians but also many foreign travelers praise this place. With both indoor and outdoor terrace options, it provides plenty of seating choices.

I guess that this is the only Irish Pub in UB. great vibe with beers and cocktail. The signature mojito is excellent here and I find the Mongyu beef rather tasty too. it is as equally as good as Wagyu or Kobe. The local Mongol cuisine is also available here as great too. However, it is Irish pub. it is not hard to just skip Mongol cuisine and go for traditional pub dish here. All in all, a great place to drink and hangout all day long.

It's alright, but a bit overpriced for the area. The music is a bit loud and service is alright.

An Irish pub like this you would not find in Ireland. Large seating area inside and outside. TV screens everywhere. Cool place to watch the wrestling during Naadaam. Food is little slow but huge portions.

Since 2005 & known as one of the most remote Irish pubs in the world...

Old reliable pub that’s been a staple for older Mongolians and expats for a few decades now. It can be a frustrating experience getting the attention of the waiters (order everything you need in one go during peak hours) and the food is definitely on the expensive side by Mongolian standards but it’s a fine establishment all the same. They have VIP rooms on the second floor as well. Burger and sausages are genuinely pretty good.

First experience in an authentic Mongolia food in this restaurant. Overall is an superb experience and food is delicious. Had many various type of local food and all taste very good. The only short coming that I would feedback is the slow wait for the food. Took more than 30 min before the 1st dish is served.

**Bad experience** Food was extremely mediocre (considering the prices); Service was terrible. Staff were rude, and pretended not to speak English. There are many other better options in the central Ulaanbaatar area - avoid this one

Very enjoyable dining experience. I had the covered mutton soup and beef tongue on mashed potatoes with salad. Everything was excellent. Service was attentive to the button I was given and the food took about 30 minutes to come out. Highly recommend. Price was perfect.

nice atmosphere, good service, good food, clean. A chill place. Recommended

Expect that you possibly will need to wait for a free table. Food was so-so. My friend enjoyed Mongolian food though. Maybe it’s not the best restaurant to come for non Mongolian dish (I had pasta). Most of the waiters speak English. Nice view from the terrace.

Came here for Mongolian food but was refused to enter the restaurant. The Mongolian staff informed that non-reservation is not welcomed though I saw 90% of tables at that time were available. No one waited. Additionally, there was a review saying that walk-in is acceptable. I was very curious about the reservations that she mentioned, so I checked how to reserve but found no information and no reservation gateways in the official page. I think she didn’t say the truth about the reservations. If tables are truly fully booked, it’s ok. Just inform me that “Sorry, tables are fully booked” but she did not say that. I hope this is not discrimination. I communicated with staff in English so the language should not be a problem to enter the restaurant.

Great service and great food on the 4th floor. We ordered the Mongolian platter and it was for 4 people. The food is really good and diversified. I recommend this restaurant.

Went there to try the national food dumpling. There wasn't any English menu so I have to use the translator. Decided to have the dumpling in tea soup and a vegetable salad. The salad is nice and fresh with a sweet dressing sauce while the dumpling was meat ball wrapped in flour skin, so I didn't really like it. But the place is clean and tidy, self service. Recommended.

Affordable, no-nonsense yet really clean business offering local fare in a cafetaria setting. A good introduction to Mongolian food without breaking the bank.

Good value in this Mongolian. Also the Locals goes there for a eat. Perfect food for cheap oriented Backpackers. I recommend the pineapple chicken rice but they have also other dishes. Recommended to give it a fair chance.

I almost forgot to mention this little gem! It’s typical Mongolian fast food, but the taste—especially the meat and milk—is exceptional. The portion sizes are impressive as well. So, don’t hesitate to give it a try; you won’t regret it!

It is a very good Mongolian restaurant. It is convenient, cheap, clean and with AC. Very comfortable during hot summer days

I didn’t prepare myself. Not knowing the language I should’ve looked up the menu first and worked out what I wanted. The staff were super helpful, I thank them for that. Food was great.

Great spot to try some local food. There is a menu with photos that made it easy to order without speaking the language. I recommend the chicken and pineapple.

The tacos I had here were absolutely amazing and one of few vegetarian options I was able to find in Ulaanbaatar. I did get them to go because the restaurant was very crowded and practically a party. Would be fun, just not alone. Highly recommend the mushroom tacos!

The food is flavorful, well‑crafted, and perfect for sharing if you’re 2😅 the portions are too small for their prices. But the bites were delicious I must say. Best tequila in the neighborhood, take a pint of classic one. The music and vibe is good. It gets really loud so you can barely hear anything. There’s a pool to play, but some customers may be rude to you and not let you play. There are several sitting areas: indoor, at the bar, outside (summer), open kitchen and private rooms.

Great time. Food was surprisingly good( we are in middle of Mongolia and this was good Mexican food). Tequila was good. I went late on a Saturday night and was no issue getting a table or bar seat. Service was good. They have an outdoor seating area so I don't know why people say you cant smoke(unless they don't allow but not sure). Ya it was a bit noisy as most Mexican restaurants are but thats how I like it. They have pool tables as well.

Very delicious and good service. Vivid atmosphere with loud music. Vegetarian options.

Remarkable choice for a special date. It'd be what you'd call a fusion cuisine. The menu has good versatility though I don't agree on its pricing. A good place to start if you'd like to get a grasp on finessed cuisine. The place had a hot launch but has since degraded in every aspect. When I last came here, I couldn't hold a conversation without spitting on my company or putting my mouth in their ears thanks to their brilliant music. The ventilation system seemed to have failed as we became barbecues by the time we left. The churros I ordered had a deceptive look as it had a mushy texture. A big disappointment.

The food is very average and very blend. And everyone was shouting at each other because the music is really really loud. We asked multiple time to turn down the volume but they turn it up! Everyone is suffer so please have better service. We asked for sauces that also never come as well. The cocktail also extremely sweet so please avoid the Margaritas

Young, hip, fancy and loud are the first things come to my mind when entering the place. A great location with different seating areas and a very attentive and great service team. Food arrives fast, is well presented and tasty. Only the spicy dishes are in my eyes too spicy. I enjoyed my visit and will for sure come back again

A Culinary Delight! The dishes were absolutely delicious! Each bite was a delightful journey, a true testament to culinary artistry. It's clear that passion and skill went into every plate, making for a truly memorable dining experience.

The food is tasty and authentically Indian, with plenty of vegan and vegetarian options. The waiter confirmed that the chicken is halal. Portions are generous, so I’d recommend ordering half portions

Was craving Indian food after a few days touring. This was an excellent choice. Food was generous and aptly spiced. What elevated it was the warm and friendly service of the male Indian server. He made sure I ordered the right amount of spice, checked on me every so often and was a genuine plus to this restaurant. Definitely a great choice in the area.

For a while, UB was a real mecca for Indian Food. Then, most of the Indian Restaurants in town went a bit downhill. Not so this place! It is the total gem of UB. Best Indian Food I've had since I was in Akra. Two Indian guys in the back cooking. Fabulous. If you're looking for table-cloths and candlelight, go elsewhere. If you're looking for the best Tikka Masala ever produced this is it. They appear to do a significant takeout business also.

Excellent food with rich satisfying flavours and enormous portions. A half portion here is almost equivalent to a full UK portion! Good value too. The service was very friendly and we were not rushed at all during our meal. We were provided with plastic cartons to take home what we couldn’t finish! Would highly recommend.

The food is very tasty. Just a little too salty. Wish they have extra hot sauce customers could use.

Servers are fast and attentive. Food quality is consistent. Love their butter chicken 😋 mostly come with my colleagues of +10 people, and always enjoy the experience.

During my visit, I experience good customer service in connection to kindness. If you look at the picture of my meal, are you able to find a picture to match in the eatery's menu? I'm familiar with available Vegan options in the local Vegan market: I mention so because I like to buy a similar variety of Vegan chicken nuggets (in the meal in the picture of what I receive for my order) from a local Vegan market. Reviewing the meal in the picture (which I receive as my order); the chicken nuggets taste best to me with rice and salad on top after a dip in the creamy-sweet sauce; the ingredients taste better together than apart, to me. The interior of the eatery is calm, chill, and down to earth (I like wood as a part of interior/ decorating). The eatery accepts different forms of payment.

Nothing to complain about all perfect. I had great vegan food. The menu is not in English but I used google translate to scan it. The staff spoke English.

They really looked after us here, despite accidentally coming a half hour before closing. Their vegan tsuivan was delish. Also worth noting that our server spoke English. They also have a small selection of grains, seeds, and other vegan pantry goods for sale.

Super clean and professional restaurant! I enjoyed the healthy food with reasonable prices!

Simple, healthy, and affordable. LH is always a great restaurant whichever country you're in.

It moved and reopened on the next block. Food so good. I highly recommend the spinach pasta.

Super spot for healthy, tasty food and juices. Very good menu and service :)

At last I’ve checked out this place! Very affordable!!! I’ve tried potato and beef huushuur, both were good. Also I had a soup with steamed noodles ( I know so much starch, what can I do? ) was tasty! Unfortunately, I forgot to take pictures, sorry!

First, waitress was so negative. I have ordered fried liver and khuushuurboth horrible side dish was rice and it was not cooked enough. will never go this place again

Affordable food. Tastes also ok

Ordered 'Roast Beef', not bad.

Not bad. Normal

Tasty and fresh food

Poor place. The foods are fine but their waitress was so negative and don't respect the clients.

Classic Mongolian diner, no frills, very limited options on their menu but their buuz was delicious. Simple, hearty, scrumptious. Huushuur was a bit too dough-y for my taste and the mantuu wasn’t very generous with the meat. Potato salad was fine but the milk tea was soooo good. Perfect for a cold day. As far as I can tell, there are no toilets on the inside.

Little white house serving delicious Booz and Khuushuur. Minimalist, traditional, quaint.

No frills and worth the visit! Loved the buuz. Khushuur was decent too

Literally the best buuz in Mongolia!!! It’s my favourite place to eat Mongolian food! Highly recommend :)

Delicious Mongolian food. Minimalist and local vibe.

Expensive ahh foods but worth the money one buuz is 2k is crazy but the waiting time is fast thats bit sussy

Same great taste for 3 decades (since when I was a kid)

Great place! The vibe is just natural u know. Relaxing or just perfect for meeting n just talking. 🌯 burrito was not bad. Menu was in english and yeah overall 4.0/5 . Worth a visit for brunch or lunch

Day 1 coffee stop to plan the rest of the day in Ulanbaatar. Amazing warm carrot cake and tres leche cake. Coffee was fine as was the Philly Stesk Sandwich. The staff were all warm and welcoming.

Simple cafe with simple design. The food was ok, nothing extraordinary. But it seems that this place is popular among expats.

My wife took me to this restaurant twice. Once for breakfast and once for dinner. The breakfast...incredible. we had the French Toast and I had the mocha. The French Toast was so buttery and so sweet, it was like candy for breakfast. My wife actually got their Lemon Pie. It also tasted fantastic. So tart with a flaky pastry shell. The dinner was less so. We both had the Chicken Burger. It was a massive burger, so no problem there. It had a really nice crispy golden coating so no issue there either. We both just thought it was lacking flavour which was weird because everything else we've had there was extra flavourful. Either way, a nice restaurant with a great price and very friendly staff.

Not a fan of the aesthetic. Atmosphere is okay, good place if you like to hear English and other languages as background noise. Food is just okay. I prefer the breakfast menu to the lunch/dinner menu.

Lovely and well known breakfast place with decent omelette and the best lemon tart near and far. Update: been coming here for the 5th year in a row, almost every morning. There's 3 tables on the terrace and it's very lovely in the morning to sit outside, no matter the weather.

Millie cafe is popular for burger & sandwich. Good quality western meal in comfy ambience. Can return to eat.

The staff was nice and friendly, but the food was mid and everything in this restaurant was overpriced. If you ask me to choose between Chipotle (or even Taco Bell) and this restaurant, I would prefer Chipotle though 🤷‍♂️ Plus, I thought it may not a good place for bringing the family up (especially if they speak English) since they played some songs with inappropriate lyrics.

We ordered food for nine people. The food was great, and everyone was satisfied. However, the interior decoration is quite old and needs renovation.

I remember first time ordering a burger from them (a couple years ago) and the portion was enormous!!!! It came with fried potatoes and a side of salad (all included into the price). And a year later I ordered the same burger and it was tiny and came with nothing. Overall the food is good, just the add mayo to every single dish.

A Mexican-American (“Chicano”) Review: —FOOD: I ordered the “Enchilada Con Frejoles”, yet not a single frijole (bean) could be found. It would have decent to be informed by the kitchen staff that they were out of frijoles so I could order something different, instead I was given an overcooked tortilla filled with chicken. To call this an enchilada is false to say the least. This was filled only with bland chicken and with barely any sauce. I honestly enjoyed the salad more than the main course. The only things I can positively say is that there was some effort in presentation and the chicken wasn’t dry at least. —SERVICE: NOTE: The waitress was a nice young lady and I commend her for her well treatment of me, tending to all the customers, and the establishment itself. So she is the reason for there being even a single star rather than zero. So the service rating is objectively concerning the restaurant as a whole during my lunch-hour visit. She alone was tending to me and the other customers (upstairs and downstairs) while also tending to other tasks such as preparing napkins, silverware, and such. Meanwhile, three employee men with the same attire and the bartender sat around the bar talking with their backs turned to all the customers. A shameful display… —ATMOSPHERE: The name of this place is clever and catchy. The interior design is very nice and is well decorated. I liked what I saw and I especially liked how they cleverly wrapped the pillars with many different mexicano and chicano themed films. This made me feel a little more at home, but unfortunately the music being played killed what could have been a 5 star-rating for ambience. Rather than having Mexican or Chicano music playing it was predominantly Mongolian rap music and some Mongolian pop music (some of which I personally like). It seemed as though it was what the three Mongol amigos wanted to listen to rather than giving the customers a Mexican ambiance. In conclusion, I was honestly looking forward to visiting this place when I found it on Google. I’m disappointed to say the least. There are a two things we Mexicans do well: work hard and make one of the greatest foods in the world. In my opinion, the Mongols and other peoples visiting Ulaanbaatar deserve to know what our food truly tastes like. I must concur with a previous review that this is more of a “Mexi-Can’t” and due to the price of the meal it felt like I got “Mexi-Conned”.

I went to a Mexican restaurant in Ulaanbaatar because I was craving spicy food. The staff at the restaurant spoke English, and the restaurant was good, but my choice of dish was not great. I ordered nachos, but ended up eating a mountain of tortilla chips that didn’t include any meat or cheese. Next time, I’ll try ordering a burrito or enchiladas.

I grew up with Mexican food in Arizona so when I travel I always seek out comida. This place should be called Mexi-can't because the food doesn't quite cut it, but the locals don't seem to notice— on a Friday the place is bustling.

Great food with nice mix of Mexican and Caribbean taste. Dish size is quite enormous but still tastes well till the last bite. Definitely will come back and recommend to everyone. One of the very few Mexican foods you could find in the metropolitan.

We had a lunch set for two, it had rice and light soup, accompanied by4-5 side dishes. Its located at the 3rd floor of Shangri la hotel, bit pricey but meets the price expectations.

Hutong was a great dining experience overall — the atmosphere was stylish, the service attentive, and most of the dishes were well-executed. However, I was genuinely shocked by how disappointing their steamed dumplings were. In a Chinese restaurant, dumplings are one of the most fundamental dishes, and unfortunately, these were dry, stale, and lacking in flavor. We both agreed they were probably the worst dumplings we’ve ever had — even store-bought frozen ones would have been better. That said, the rest of the meal was solid enough to still warrant a 4-star rating, but I really hope they revisit their dumpling recipe.

Somewhat disappointed from the food of Hutong in UB. It wasn’t bad, but also wasn’t the best. The worst dish were the dumplings with prawns and onion, the dough was really not good and the filling was mostly egg? Portions are very generous and two dishes are more than enough for two people. Service was ok, we didn’t wait too long for the food, about 30-40 min. But the waters don’t speak a good English. The interiors are nice and the vibe is relaxed.

This review is for a dinner we had last September, but the experience was so memorably poor that it has stuck with me. For a restaurant located within a prestigious five-star hotel, we were anticipating a phenomenal meal. What we received was anything but. The main issue was the food itself. We ordered 3 different main courses and an appetizer, which were shockingly bland. The promise of dynamic, high-end Chinese cuisine fell completely flat, with each dish lacking the vibrant flavors and thoughtful execution one would expect at this price point. However, the most bewildering moment of the night came when we ordered a bottle of Spanish red wine. It was brought to our table warm!! When we politely pointed this out to the manager, we were informed, without a hint of apology, that the restaurant does not have a wine cooler! Let me repeat that: a restaurant in a five-star hotel does not have the basic equipment to serve wine at its proper temperature. This is a fundamental failure in hospitality and something I have never encountered at an establishment of this supposed caliber. Needless to say, we are not going back!

Hutong specializes in Northern Chinese cuisine—think expertly prepared Beijing duck, Mapo tofu, Kung Pao Chicken, hot pot dishes, and dim sum. Came here especially for Cantonese Delighs menu. Everything tasted super good, portions were fine. The prices were upscale for signature dishes. The service leaves much to be desired. Lack of stuff made us wait for a long time, the waitress was just skipping us.

Nice Chinese Restaurant, quite authentic! I recommend the Beijing Duck.

My family went during Lunar New Year for 4 a table and ordered Whole Duck set . Enjoyed with stunning Atmosphere and Manager’s services He is absolutely helpful what we needed . But the Beijing Duck was not really good enough unfortunately However The other menus pretty good . Too greasy . Not Crispy at all we have never had like this Roasted Duck .

If u want to try a Japanese version of UB. You should add it to ur list. It’s really busy during lunch time . The place is small and always crowded but u can always enjoy your time there . The prices are affordable and perfect quality. This restaurant is related to a big company so their resources are available and granted. The menu is small which makes it better .

This place has real cult status in UB! For around 20k you get really good Japanese food and excellent cakes. Prepare for a long wait to be seated though. And once you sit, you better eat up and make space quickly for the next people in the queue. It is a real experience and I highly recommend it. But I can also understand the people that don't like the concept, hence my warning here. With the menu attached to this review, you can order via phone (Mongolian only) and cut your wait time in half.

It’s my one of favorite places. I like their udon noodles. So yummy!! U have to eat quickly like in Japan. Because the place has a little space and always people wait seats there. Owner is Japanese guy and it really feels like Japan atmosphere.

Fantastic food and a genuine Japanese atmosphere. Loved it.

The best japanese place in mongolia! The udon doesn’t match with anything, it is phenomenal ⭐️

Such a great little spot. If you're in Ulaanbaatar, you'll most likely find yourself at the State Department Store at some point. Just down the road is this bakery/restaurant. It's one of my wife's favourites because of their baked goods. So, I had to try it. While I never had the opportunity to try their food beyond the baked goods, what I did have was incredible. 3 different cheesecakes and a piece of apple tart and all were delicious. Their Special Cheesecake was something I've never had before. It was unlike any cheesecake I've ever had and the topping was like a sweet cloud. Loved all of it.

This is my place to be, each time i come in Mongolia. I like the atmosphere. The food is tasty.

Staff were friendly, and the environment was very nice. The drinks were great, and while the appetizer and main dish sides were quite similar, they were still enjoyable. My steak was first served well-done, but the staff quickly offered to recook it for medium-rare. The second attempt came out medium-well — better than the first, but still not quite right. Despite this, I still recommend the restaurant and am willing to give it a second chance.

The best menu I've found in the city. Good quality products and meals. Simple decor with elements of Mongolian tradition. The worst thing is the service. The waitress is nice and smiling but doesn't know her job, very unprofessional. She won't manage without good training. But the kitchen defends itself so I'll be back.

The food was good, not excellent, the Mongolian beef I had was a little chewy. Same complaint from a friend we were together. They were late to serve two people in our party of 9

Service staff were kind though I couldn’t speak the language. Food was impeccable, absolutely loved the pork ribs!! Not sure if I would order the roast chicken mezza again (it’s like a mediterranean pizza) as i’m not a fan of cheese sauce but even so, that was super flavourful and everything went so well together. I cleaned my plates haha. Passionfruit iced tea was also super yum!! Update: I came back a second time, this time the chicken skewers were kind of dry and the passionfruit tea was too sweet, pork ribs were also not as tender.. sad

It was the worst steak I’ve ever had in my life. I ordered a T-bone, but I have no idea what I was actually served—the meat was very tough. As for the vegetable salad they brought, I have nothing to say… Finally, I wanted to order a dessert, but they told me they only had ice cream. I really, really didn’t like this place at all.

I had the pumpkin soup and lamb chops. The soup was just OK, kind of bland. The lamb chops came out well done. Waste of perfectly good baby sheep. This was totally my fault for not specifying. I assumed the server would ask, and when he didn't, I just let it go. Lamb chops were still tasty, but would have been fantastic medium rare. The pumpkin mash with chickpeas that came with it was awesome....how the soup should have been seasoned.... A little allspice/cinnamon/clove something. Very good. I had on jeans and sneakers with a pullover shirt. I felt grossly underdressed. I would have left when I walked in, but I was literally the only one there (very early dinner). Collared shirt and slacks for sure. No sneakers.

I like that the restaurant has balanced dishes though one full meal was not filling for me😁 They are also one of a few restaurants that have kids’ menu with various options. Here’s what we’ve had: - grilled salmon - chicken skewers (kids’ menu) - beef kofta (strangely couldn’t find this dish in their online menu🙈)

Best Hot Pot restaurant in town, excellent for big family occasions, business meetings, etc. Private rooms available. Excellent food options, multiple soup choices for hot pot, vegetables, meat and sauces. I recommend the pomegranate ice tea, so refreshing in the hot summer!

Great hotpot restaurant! The quality of the ingredients is very good and fresh. They have a English menu and English speaking staff. They price quality ratio is extremely good. The service is great but not on the level of HaiDiLao. Nevertheless, I think it’s the best place for hotpot in Mongolia. The furniture is top notch!

Quite a morden, comfortable dinning place. Just next to the Genghis Khan Plaza. You got great view, clean and bright surrounding. Dedicated Mongolian food and hot pot. Musical and dance folk show sometimes. Very nice experience overall.

It was very busy on Sunday. Didn't have much choice of food, which was a bummer. But their meal called sheep head is super tasty. Highly recommended. Service was okay and the view to the Sukhbaatar square was spectacular.

A very big restaurant. Too many tables compared to number of staffs. Service was suuuper slow. Spent most of time to waiting. I think they should hire more people. Reasonable price for weekday lunch set.

Food was delicious. It is difficult to communicate because most of the waiters do not speak english. This can cause problems when ordering. A robot brings the order to your table.

Very interesting restaurant in downtown Ulan bator. You cook your own broth adding herbs, meat and vegetables to boiling water

nice

Not only is the cooking slow but also the food option is limited and the food taste like your childhood trauma with meat that cant even be torn with hand or bitten, man this is not only shit but uneatable, like stop ruining the food man.

Barbecue and grill

The food is hard as stone.The soys sauce tasted really bad.

Mongolian barbeque

After eating i want to put chefs on the iron plate

(Translated by Google) This is a Mongolian barbecue restaurant. It is a buffet of stir-fried vegetables and other menu items. There are unlimited raw vegetables, beef, pork, chicken, and lamb meat, and sauces, and you choose your own toppings for stir-fried vegetables. It's a system where you give it to the cook and it will cook it for you. In addition, salad, curry, ice cream, etc. are all you can eat. 62,900 Tugrik per person. (Original) モンゴリアンバーベキューのお店です。野菜炒めとその他のメニューのバイキングになっています。生の野菜と牛豚鶏羊の肉、ソースが取り放題になっており、自分で野菜炒めの具材を選びます。コックに渡すと調理してくれる仕組みです。その他にもサラダ、カレー、アイスなどが食べ放題です。一人62900トゥグルグ。

Best Indian restaurant in Ulaanbaatar with authentic flavors. Highly recommended

Foods are served in large quantities. One plate tandoori roti contains 4 very lage pieces which is hard to finish by a single person. Overall quality was good.

my breakfast is wonderful “masala tea”❤️

I really enjoy the meal here☺️☺️

Food nice

Great place

Good

Beautiful place with very nice deco. Decent food with lots of variety. Had the Mongolian bone soup, that could be tastier. Didn't really have much taste, so a lot of the dishes, I needed to dip into the peanut and soy sauce. Otherwise, a very nice environment for dinner with friends.

The interior is quite nice and lively, service is polite and fast but the food is just OK at best. Majority of the menu is hot pot related but they have a few items they prepare in-house. Reasonably priced.

Wonderful! We had all the types of meats, in this private little room for 12 people. Even horse meat! Which, to be honest had the same flavor to the normal cow meat we eat everywhere. These rich flavours of the food, the cleanliness of the place, everything perfect. We all got our own hot pot, and the center table goes around so you go grabing your own meat, noodles, dumplings anything you want and cook it in there. The fried rice comes ready and is brutal!

First time try horse meat. The meat is tender. Cow and lamb are fresh. Everyone has their own hotpot, tempureture easy to control.

We used to come here very often but every time they didn’t have something from the menu. The worst was for our vegetarian friend. The rest was ok. They have a plenty of table +vip floor.

Lots of options and food is very good with reasonable prices. Good space and very cool table.

Decent place to score some horsemeat. Very conveniently located.

Very disappointing experience. The server never acknowledged us when we walked in, and when the food arrived, the enchiladas had burnt tortillas. All the food came out at the same time, which felt rushed. The atmosphere was okay, but the service was poor and the prices were too high for the quality. Not worth it.

Very very oily and heavy food. You get out there like a balloon that cannot roll any longer because of the weight. Sure I took a few pounds eating there. Still feeling unwell. No second chance in this place.

The food was expensive and not worth the price. Small portions and we ordered coconut chicken curry and we failed to taste or see any coconut. The bathroom area wreaked of cigarettes. Also, I watched a cook come out of the bathroom with out properly washing his hands. Very disappointing.

Ordered 2 different Indian vegetarian dishes (coconut curry and vegetable). Both tasted similar. Enjoyed them all. Fast service.

Food, drink ,vibe .. everything was good.. we went there sunday night and there was only few people beside us. And food was absolutely delicious. Ordered some fish stick and some salad, and quesadilla.. every dish was delicious. I ate outside almost daily .. and this is the one of the place i want to go again.

This is a lovely, comfortable place to eat. We had assorted tacos, Rogan Josh, and naan. There were enough toppings on the tacos that we used naan so that each one made 2 tacos. The food was all very good, but it is worth noting there are a lot of flavors and spices that overlap between Indian and Mexican cuisine, and in this instance the flavors of the Mexican food leaned more than usual towards tasting like Indian food. It was delicious, and a much better pairing of cuisine than Carlos O'Kelly's near Washington DC in the USA, which serves Irish and Mexican food and makes no sense at all.

Super good. Only place with good Indian food. I like the butter chicken with garlic Nan, and samosas.

A good restaurant. It was mainly empty when we went there during the day. They didn't have a few on menu dishes when we ordered. Good quality was good.

Navarin de mouton was decent, but the mushroom cream pasta was bland. If you visit, try a different dish.

A bit of old vibes 🕰️ Food is actually not bad. The ambiance is with a touch of elegance, and the outdoor patio was perfect on a warm evening. We started with a fresh salad, which was vibrant and perfectly dressed with a light vinaigrette that complemented the crisp greens. The Merlot we paired it with was a great choice from their extensive wine list. (smooth and well-balanced). The spicy seafood soup had just the right kick and I’d say the spice level was mild enough for most palates. We also tried a variety of other dishes, including the fillet steak. Overall, Le Bistrot Français is a gem in Ulaanbaatar for anyone craving refined French cuisine with a welcoming vibe. Recommended.

To start with the positive, nice setting, comfortable tables and chairs, nice glasses and cutlery, amicable staff (which is usually the case in UB), food of decent quality. Then the not positive: a good portion of the menu is unavailable (and it takes forever to order because of back and forth with the kitchen), beef will always be served super well done regardless of customer’s desire, waiting times are long for food to arrive in spite of few diners in the restaurant.

Nice place with good service (love the call button for the waiter). Chicken with mushrooms and cream sauce was excellent.

Good setting and service, but the food was amatuerish. Plus 'added tax' on the bill. I don't recommend.

French bistro with cozy ambience. Simple Escargot & French onion soup is satisfactory.

I want to express the food is acceptable but the service you need to be cautious on how they show you the menu and make sure check the final price if they will overcharge. Server will show the lowest price menus that is for local but will not reveal the other menu that is for the tourist as they claim. Example I have to pay 11,000 mnt for a can of coke. Local menu (which they claim is for local) and that is what the server will show us when drink for a can of coke is 9.000 mnt, payment time is 11,000 mnt. I want to express why they are not willing to show the final price and never informed us. Food is acceptable and atmosphere is excellent. They are not trustable base on what they will charge on the final bill.

This truly beautiful restaurant is located in the heart of the city, right in the middle of a children's park. It offers a variety of delicious dishes, with a wide selection of Asian and Western cuisines. It's a popular spot for families, friends, coworkers, and tourists alike.

cold noodle was trash side dish is even worse, their chef needs some tutoring, also the hall event's thing sounds so loud cuz the other seats are right beside them.

Amazing food, super friendly staff! Highly recommend

The food was acceptable. Staffs are so kind and reachable.

Update 2025/10/09 Place has mediocre service, you have to ask to be served. Food has 7/10 taste but portion wise it wasn’t good. On the menu it says “2-3 people dish”, but in reality there were 7 short ( slim meat) ribs with 2 little meat pieces. Atmosphere is meh, food is small but expensive. Overall impression 4/10

They have variety of menus to choose from, starting from korean to european, chinese, japanese etc. Also not so pricey. Loved their food. Loved their special location hidden between the woods of amusement park. Also because of its location, not many people know this place. Highly recommend if you want to try different country's cuisine at the same time which is rarely seen in Mongolia .

Pros:Great place to chit chat with your friends or family° •They freshly prepare your burgers in about 10-15 min• I got the Aloha Black burger and the bun was fluffy and soft, the chicken was tender and fairly sauced° Service was excellent, very nice people with good taste in music° Atmosphere was amazing, not too many people were here and it was very cozy ◇ I personally love that they used recycled materials for the decorations¡Bonus point! As always they give you the popular black gloves for your burgers plus a wrist band! It's like an achievement cc: ____________________________________ Cons: they could've added more to the burger to enhance the flavour and satisfy hunger ♧ Sometimes the ratio of the burger buns do not match ♤ Overall, i would recommend trying the signature black burger ☆

Burger is just OK. Chips were fried too much. We ordered the black and brown burger set but we got 2 brown burgers. The terrace was so nice you can chit chat with ur friends and enjoy street view.

Excellent place to hang out with friends, family. Reasonable price and the beef burger that I tried has a delightful taste, the soft buns and the tender beef is a great combo, but the salt wasn’t spread evenly so that’s the only negative thing I can point out. The environment is also put into consideration, love the interior design. The music playlist is to my taste, the workers here are really nice and have great vibes. The light covers above the corner seat are made of tin cans, very environmentally friendly! They give you black gloves with your order for hygiene, which is a great plus of this place, also a cool free wristband along the meal. I definitely recommend going here, if you want to chill out with your friends, family in a relaxed atmosphere. As for me, I’m gonna come back here to try out the bulgogi burger.

I ordered the ₮27,000 set with a burger, fries, and cola, but everything was terrible. The burger was tiny and tasted metallic, the fries were bland, and overall the meal was a huge disappointment. While I was there, a woman was loudly complaining about the tea, and the staff couldn’t handle the situation—making the atmosphere even worse. From start to finish, the experience was unpleasant. I do not recommend this place to anyone.

This burger was a war crime in a bun. Even CU convenience store burgers taste like gourmet in comparison. Whoever made this clearly thought sauce could cover their sins, but instead drowned the entire burger in what tasted like straight vinegar. I left with heartburn and regret. The bun was soggy enough to qualify as soup, the patty was so thin I almost needed a magnifying glass to find it, and the fries? Mid. The only thing that had flavor were the mosquitoes that bit me while I ate. Truly, an unforgettable experience — for all the wrong reasons.

Burger’s OK. The patties were way too soft and I’ve never been a big fan of using fresh cucumbers for burgers. Service was prompt, food came out fast, it was reasonably priced at 18900 and the place seems like a nice chill place to study or chit chat. Appreciated the gloves and they’re definitely of proper make to ensure your fingers are clean at the end.

It was the first restaurant that I had lunch in Mongolia. I even can not speak any Mongolian but staff can speak few English word. He is so kind and burger was also very good.

Gives me point of how rich people spend their daily life in style though its not that fancy almost nicest one in the whole district hu hha has everything including supermarket coffee shop flower shop gym and other stores

The place you could find a nice restaurant, Gold's gym, coffee shop and more. Clean, nice and good location. The restaurant serves decent food with nice environment

Very nice place only problem is traffic always rush hour because of 2 big market places.

Great place to shop for groceries in this area because of the private packing lots.

Welcoming and warm atmosphere

Very silence place. The most interesting part was the highest floor.

Modern and very clean ! Little bit expensive maybe...

The food’s just fine (fried rice had generous portions of meat but it’s a bit hard to eat since it’s still on the bone, tonkotsu ramen had just stir fried pork and forgettable noodles & broth) but the service is polite and fast, atmosphere is pleasant and modern, and the dishes come fast and are reasonably priced. Overall a decent choice for a meal especially if you want a quick bite to eat.

Great place to go if you want a convenient fast food experience. You can order and pay through their app and accumulate points that can be used to discount your next meal(s). The food is always consistently alright - not bad, not great.

Back and forth because this is near the pace I stayed in Blue Sky Hotel. Good Ramen, good fried rice, Well, not the best ramen and fried rice I ever had, but acceptable. I am a little bit upset about the spiciness. They said the fried rice is spicy, but it's not spicy at all, according to me 😄

I visited Arig late evening on weekday with my friends as the firstly visited restaurant was almost close time. I ordered Cheese Ramen which came with big chickens and lot of Parmesan cheese. It’s of course delicious but a bit too much for the late night meal. Anyway I like it.

Well it's depend on how you lucky Some times i order the food it come after 10 minutes that's i like it I do understand how busy they working and try to satisfy costumers But last couple weeks i ordered food and its took 40~ minutes like they forgot or just didn't know that order is waiting

I was kinda hungover and wanted to have ramen for lunch. The place was packed. But the service is fast. The chicken ramen though, seems to me lacks flavour. Just not that tasty 🍜 after some time i might get bored of their ramen bowls. Anyway I like the place. Price is decent(meaning if you go there everyday, you go brokie). Looking for a quick ramen shop that’s reliable and will make you some good ramen?? This is the place. Overall, 3.5/5

Lately, their ramen doesn’t taste good. Actually i like their chicken ramen. But now tastes not good. Maybe u like it. Their green tea is good. Their atmosphere and spaces is nice. They have terrace too. When summertime, its best choice to sit there.

This is a trendy bar for the late twenty somethings to forty somethings. No food was being served on a Friday night (it was early March). A cool spot to observe the locals kicking back. Friendly staff to this foreigner. Also not really jazz music being played, I asked if there was live music and got a funny look, so I would say Jazz cafe in name only.

lemon tea was perfect I love the atmosphere here

They had delicious food. Bit crowded than i though. If you are looking for somewhere quiet, it is not the place for you.

Lovely staff, good drinks. Bit small but that is the charm of this place

I liked the bar area and the bartender. Great location!

place that you can hang out with friends, it has a good service and crowded people when its friday

Lounge, nice atmospher. Good choice of drinks and possible to eat. Correct wifi.

Absolutely love this place! During dinner hours, the atmosphere is relaxed and the music is at just the right level to enjoy their great meals. As the night goes on, the energy builds in the best way. If you’re looking for a fun, high-energy spot to kick off the night, this place delivers. Great beer selection with both tap and Belgian favorite crafts. Staff are fast and friendly, even when it’s packed.👍🏻

Delicious food, cozy atmosphere, nice music and good service. The lunch menu varies by day. And, at affordable prices. The breakfast looks instagramable😍 pancakes were really delicious. The general menu is at high price as well as drinks. My favorite is cherry beer. I wish it was draft tho. It’s also the best place to smoke shisha.

Cozy ambience serve by friendly host makes this joint a great place to chill. Belgium beer is the main dish.

The service was very disappointing. One of the waitresses was extremely rude and served us with a bad attitude. They only gave one menu for two people, which was inconvenient. We ordered breakfast but had to wait over an hour to receive it. The food was neither hot nor fresh. Strangely, people who came in after us received their food before we did. When we asked about it, we were told the food was served in order, but clearly that wasn’t the case. After waiting an hour, the breakfast we received was tasteless and not worth the wait. The restaurant really needs to improve its customer service.

Delicious food. Everything was good except the people next to us were heavily smoking shisha.

Really good place⭐️ Food ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Delicious 🤌🏻 Dessert was kind of old otherwise amazing!!! Price was really good. Service ⭐️⭐️⭐️ I don't think waiter's wanted some tip. They have to recommend what they have or communicate to the customers. Atmosphere was totally worth it. You'll never regret to go there.

Huge burger that’s somewhat unwieldy, nice crispy fries, good if not remarkable taste overall. Had their beer a few times before and it’s definitely enjoyable. The service is prompt and the interior is beautiful. The only thing I’d really criticize the place for is that it’s quite a bit more expensive compared to pretty much anywhere else in Ulaanbaatar. The food on its own doesn’t justify the cost to me (as the ingredients in the burger aren’t anything to write home about) and the marked up imported beer is also quite pricey. Expect to pay amounts equivalent to an expensive pub in Western Europe.

Burger is really good. But potato is not my type.

On their menu they had a lot of options for burgers but I ordered the three mini burgers and an extra plate of chips. The burgers were ok, a bit dry and not as juicy as I would have liked, but I guess they did the business as I was hungry. They actually came with some chips as well so the extra order of chips was far too much for myself. The chips too were a bit dry and not crispy at all, very stodgy. But I honestly couldn't eat so much food, so left a lot on the plate.....me bad! Portion sizes were very good it has to be said. The place had a nice décor and there was a pleasant atmosphere in the burger bar. Service was good and efficient. With a big pint of beer, the total bill came to a very reasonable 14 Euros..... excellent value I think. I wanted to like the burger, but to be honest I have had better. Sorry guys.

Great burger. Great service. Place is a bit dark and could use some different decor. Needs more variety of soft drinks. The mural on the wall is awesome. Definitely recommend, come hungry.

I think this is one of the best burger places in the town. It has a huge portion of burgers with great selections. You are not able to bite. You have to use knife to eat your burger. Very tasty and delicious. Service is very nice and fast. Price is affordable. This branch is located inside of the Zaisan Hill Center, on the 2nd floor. Highly recommended place. A good hangout place.

My favorite burger joint. Immediately after arriving in Mongolia, I went there for a hamburger. As delicious as in 2018 when I last ate them. I recommend.

Personally, the best hamburger I have ever eaten!! Very nice staff and good vibes!!

Good food. Got the vegetarian burger and it was good but fell apart

The atmosphere was pleasant and quiet. The interior is authentic which you can find all kind of Asian design, such as Mongolian, Japanese, and Chinese. There were variety of Mongolian foods including hot pot style as well as other asian common cuisine. We tried a hot pot and traditional dumplings, can’t say it was the best but it was alright. The service need to be improved other than that definitely recommend it anyone who want to try authentic Mongolian food.

i ordered noodle with roasted duck today. but i was not happy with my order, the soup was not hot, noodle was bland completely tasteless, ingredients were not matching, taste was sweeter than i expected. overall everything was boiled separately in plain water and mixed together in a bowl 🫤

Great service, great location, excellent duck!

So slow. We waited almost an hour for our food. The food was just okay—nothing special, like any other place. All the employees were slow and lacked basic communication skills.

Not sure if they read the reviews, clearly not! Otherwise why wouldn’t they make their manager and service stuff more professional! Go to different restaurant for the sake of your mentality or at least go to their golden Buddha branch. Because this place has literally no professionalism or respect for their clients! RUDE MANAGER!

Located in the very heart of Ulaanbaatar, this was a great place with great food. We had a table next to the window so it also had a great view from where we ate.

Best mongolian food in UB by far Amazing chinese food too

Food was whatever. Service was slow whilst having basically no people so you can only imagine how slow it is when it’s full. Very cold.

Great

🫶🏼

💙💙💙

(Translated by Google) I haven't been there, but I will definitely visit when I go to Mongolia People have a good mouth. I think there will be good and tasty food (Original) Очиж байгаагүй гэхдээ Монголд очихоороо заавал Очиж үзэх болно Хүмүүс ам сайтай байна . Тэхээр сайхан бас амттай хоолтой байх гэж бодож байна

Served nice food and I'm satisfied with what they had. They have a counter for u to keep the jacket to avoid it smells "food" later

This is a place to go if you want to try some Ukrainian and/or Russian dishes in UB. However, be prepared that service might not be so good and waiters and waitresses look odd in Ukrainian costumes but that's just my thoughts.

Really loved the Beef Stroganoff. Unique taste throughout the menu. Atmosphere is good. Price is modest. Overall recommended.

Food is good but I don't like their service.

On the ground floor there is a small cafe. On the second and third floors - a restaurant. The food is delicious, but expensive

Highly recommend Ukraine Borch ！ Tasty！Not so expensive.

Loved tge food. But portions became smaller

This store is crowded with young people. It is crowded with many customers even late at night on weekdays. The store is large and spacious, and you can enjoy your drink in comfortable seats. It was quite crowded during the live music time. Last order was around 0:00.

Average food with above average prices. Some items are reasonable while others are not. You used to be able to get 1L of beer for 12k but now the prices are raised much higher. Another example is the lasagna dip, used to be 32k but now it's 49k. Prices just get higher and higher. If you're expecting good service you should leave it at the door when you walk in. Staff are usually zoning out on their phone or just straight up avoiding your table.

Ordered their lamb and beef ribs to try, but the dish was 80% fats and 20% meat. Meat was very tough too, not to my liking.

Quite a nice pub. You'd expect a tradition Mongolian interior, jusging by the name, but they styled it in an Oktoberfest fashion. They didn't have some drinks that I wanted in stock, which was quite disappointing, but overall they were really patient whilst I looked for something else to drink. We only had some french fries to share, which were pretty good.

Since 2011, one of Ulaanbaatar's largest beer halls...

"Wine Corner" by Ikh Mongol - a cazy place. Hope&Malt beer their special beer.

Their beer is nice nothing to complain about but the food 😶‍🌫️😶‍🌫️😶‍🌫️ just dont

It was the first place in UB where I tried the most delicious pasta there. But I guess it depends on the chef as later it tasted differently. Tried aaaall of them😄 Recommended anyway. There were 3 types of cheesecake. Try with sea buckthorn as something local. The owner is always there. He’s super welcoming and always cares about his customers. They also sell their own cheese.

A quaint little restaurant in UB. But don't let it deceive you, while the seating is limited and a bit on top of other people the food makes up for it. The service from my few experiences here is either attentive or non-existent. The owner, Mike, makes you feel at home and does an excellent job welcoming you. The menu is varied and has a lot of choices. The pasta is by far the best. The downside is the portions aren't the biggest and a bit pricey. I've had the burgers a few times and in my opinion, easily top 3 in UB. You can taste the quality in every ingredient. Absolutely recommend this place, in terms of price and quality it's one of the best in town.

I first stepped into the cafe on my second day in Ulanbatur in September before my friends and I leave for our Altai trip.The cafe was on my good food list that I had looked up before visiting Mongolia. The Borscht is heavenly and full of vegetables and meat.Our first time trying the hot seabuckthorn tea- we were smitten and literally throughout our tour we looked for this drink in our stops😆. I had the yak sausages after my Altai trip .It was delicious with lovely roast potatoes and the yumm condiments. My 3rd time was after my Gobi trip when we returned to UB. We had the awesome 4 cheese pizza and Spagetti Bolognese. I wish I could pack one and bring home on departure😋. On my last day in UB,I bought the delicious Khustai Gouda to bring home. I will definetely dine here again on next trip to UB Thank U Michael and your staff🥰

A little haven if you miss European style food. A good wine selection is available for European tastes and the dishes are freshly prepared. I had the yak meat sausages with sauteed potatoes and it was first class. The staff are amazing: dedicated and passionate about the restaurant and the food they serve. The owner is an interesting, well travelled and worldly guy that takes time to engage with his customers. Try the organic, small batch artisan cheese: uniquely Mongolian in its deep, rich taste. It gives Gouda a whole new dimension.

Great cheesecake! Borscht soup, carbonara and burger which were decent portions and tasty

Cheesecake was super soft and fluffy and not tok sweet (best praise for an Asian dessert,heh). Earl grey tasted average, normal :) I wanted to come here to read but the ventilation of the space isn’t that good in summer i’m sweatinggggg

One of the best cheesecakes and burgers I’ve had in Mongolia. Such a hidden gem! The burger bun was so nice and crunchy and the cheese was just perfect. Also loved the borsch, the meat was tender.

Quick and not bad for the price. If you don't like ramen then they have plenty of rice and noodle based dishes.

Love every ramen of this place, but my favorite dish is definitely one called “Seertei budaa”, stir fry rice, always come here for it. Cozy atmosphere, great drink choices, desserts are good.

I went there to have lunch and the staff there were very helpful in assisting me on what type of meat were in the different ramen/rice. Finally decided on a ramen as was hoping for piping hot soup. The place is very clean and nice with a few charging stations. However, the food is not tasty. This first time I find soggy, really soggy ramen and not so hot soup served in a raman restaurant. Though I enjoy the place, but the food really is disappointing.

This place is one of the most favorite ones in Ulaanbaatar for me. In peak hours you won't be able to find seats. It has big panoramic windows along the wall so you can enjoy people watching. Sometimes it is really helpful just to order some soup, sit there at the table, eat your lunch and think about your life. Although it is quite noisy with all these people, if you sit at the window somehow, all the sounds get muted. As for food, I only come here when I want something spicy. You will find tables of various sizes: for one, for a couple and for a group of people. The staff is always nice and welcoming.

The food portion has been decreased. The taste was the same. The japanese cola used be 600ml with big can, now its 200ml and the price is the same. In my opinion some dishes are overpriced. Overall it was okay.

I like the auto service here. When you go into the restaurant , they will give you a small number card.And take a seat anywhere, order the food by yourself and scan your number card. After finishing the meal, use the number card to pay the bill. By the way, the Ramen is good and the lamp chop rice is also amazing!

Feels like a fast food restaurant for ramen. The tonkotsu ramen is pretty bland without the intense aroma that real ramen broth has. The tonkotsu doesn't even have tonkotsu in it, just small pan-fried pieces of pork. Also, the eggs are really overcooked.

Naadam Bar is a visually impressive venue within the beautiful Shangri-La property. The space itself is stylish and comfortable, and the happy hour specials offer excellent value with a good selection of drinks at reasonable prices. However, the service left much to be desired. Despite several staff members being present, it was difficult to get their attention. They often seemed more engaged in chatting with one another than attending to guests. This lack of attentiveness was disappointing and took away from what could have been a much better experience. The food was just okay. Some items arrived cold, and condiments we asked for were forgotten. While the menu has potential, the execution didn’t quite deliver. Naadam has a lot going for it in terms of location, design, and pricing, but the staff would benefit greatly from more training in hospitality and attentiveness. With stronger service, this could easily become one of the standout spots in the hotel.

called for room service at Shangri-La, Ulaanbaatar and I have to say, this is by far the best arrabbiata pasta I’ve ever had — al dente, saucy, just the right amount of spice. this will definitely take top place on my list for quite awhile

Excellent cocktails and great food. Beautiful space with a roof deck. Can be lively in the evenings.

Went for a late dinner on Monday, busy place. Nice seat and environment. Food is fine. Meat platter is a bit dry.

Beautiful space. Food priced fairly but the staff is distant and on the verge of being rude. You see them chatting with each other and very hard to get their attention. When you do they seem irritated that you need something. Most of the food was cold, but the Mongolian khuushuur we got were delicious.

I haven’t tried their food, only went for cocktails. Six cocktails came to around 260k, and honestly, they were the worst cocktails any of us have ever tried—you’d find better at a dive bar. Really disappointing. The interior is grand but feels more suited to an older crowd, especially with the music.

Ordered a Khuushuur, at an odd hour of 3pm there wasn't anyone. I know the kitchen might be slow at this hour but it took 45mins for just my 1 dish to come. But thats not what got me disappointed/agitated, another friend of two came in after me, somehow they got served the same Khuushuur (one of them, cant help but notice when you've waited so long) before me!! So I had to tell the waitress whats that about. That was around 30mins in of waiting and had to wait another 15mins for a grand total of 45mins. This is poor service. Although she did apologies for the hiccup.. also concur with some of the people who reviewed here they seem to be more occupied talking amongst themselves than being attentive to the needs of the guests. Very very poor service to be in Shangri-la

Tomato soup I received was bland and tasteless. Tasted like water with just a hint of red color. Add ins made it palatable. Prior to bill server requested I scan a code for feedback. He stayed and watched over me as I attempted to complete survey. Everything was average. Service to value.

The Bull Hot Pot Restaurant is just perfect. The Hot Spicy Soup combined with beef tenderloin, chicken, fish and vegetables are really awesome 🙌🏼

Best hot pot I ever had. The lamb meat is nice and juicy.

Good selections of meat and very value for money

Our recent visit to Bull hotpot restaurant left us extremely disappointed. From the moment we walked in, it felt like they couldn’t care less about our presence. The staff’s attitude was nothing short of disrespectful. Our orders were consistently mixed up, and it seemed like they were doing us a favor by serving us. It’s a shame that such a beautiful place can be marred by such terrible customer service. We won’t be returning anytime soon.”

loved this place, nice foods. but beef was kinda chewy. recommend lamb

This place is another food option in Ulaanbaatar. We had varieties of meat there. It's like individual shabushabu place. The point I didn't really like / disappointed was quantity of meat and soups. They are little bit too wild to me (or may be most of Japanese). But considering this is in Ulaanbaatar, it was good.

Nice terrace with tables in the shade or in the sun to enjoy breakfast. Try out the chili con carne toasted sandwich. Real good. A bit spicy.

I absolutely love their bread and coffee! The bread is always fresh, and the flavors are spot on. I highly recommend giving them a try if you’re in the area.

The service here is extremely slow, and the shop is clearly unprepared to cater to international guests. I would not recommend this place for international delegates. The staff struggled with basic English communication, which made the ordering process frustrating. Instead of packing the pastries when we placed our order, they had to repeatedly refer back to the system—showing a lack of training and efficiency.

Great sourdough bread, croissants, fruit tarts, coffee.... Great place for breakfast 😍

Also very good for vegetarians. Not on the menu but on request they offered us vegetarian subs with cheese and fried vegetables. Cool and modern style definitely recommendable!

I had the slice of cheesecake, and it was just exquisite! Service was excellent, with a very nice server. The interior was also well done, and the ligthing was fitting! They could improve the packaging for their individual slices. Overall, a 5/5 experience.

There was no description/menu available at the counter or on tables that could see apart from some specials on a placard. If menus were available we were not offered them. Ordered coffee one iced and one hot and soup/sandwich combo which was ofered on placard on front counter. Given option for bacon or chicken sandwich verbally, no soup option. Cappucino good. Iced latte was not iced but hot, was tasty. Soup turned out to be broccoli and was really good. Sandwich ended up being chicken as they ran out of bacon. Chicken/cheese toasted sandwich was nice but would have been boring without soup. Pleasant atmosphere. Staff lovely but seem uncertain/confused. It looked like there was a new ordering system. They forgot our order, and we waited at least 30 minutes before they came to check, were used to Mongolian service, and were not in a rush, luckily. There was table service for some meals but not ours, we collected ours from the counter. I'm not sure why. Pros: Nice food (great bread) and atmosphere. Staff was nice but seemed alternately terrified (front counter) or frustrated (Chef) Tips: 1. Have a written menu (not necessarily in English) so non Mongolians can make choices away from the counter, which is only a small area. This could be a blackboard or poster if the menu changes daily. This will also make it easier for your staff when dealing with non Mongolian speakers. 2. Support your staff with training on how to use ordering system, making sure they are updated on food availability. 3. Communicate with patrons as to whether food I brought to table or to be collected from kitchen. Ok place but potential to be incredible.

Nice relaxing place The place is near tourist street where there's lots of hostels so the area isn't very nice, but this cafe stands out as it is nicely decorated indoors and has an shop front out door area. Although the out door area ground is slightly sloped. The indoors is nice, staff speaks English well, offers Wifi. great time to enjoy a coffee and a cake, or a cigar. Lights in the bathroom was a bit dark though.

Extremely cozy spot with friendly service. Chocolate smoothie was like a delicious frozen chocolate and my pastry really hit the spot. Free WiFi also.

I'm French I tried a lot of bakery in my life and around the world When it's about French Bakery in foreign country, it have to be quality and great tastes. And this one this really bad, and pricy ! There is no reason to go.

A bit of France in UB. The croissants are spot on and the little butter with jelly is delicious. Update 10/2017: Avoid the burger as it'll just fall apart in your hands. The meat was dry and tasted cheap. Downgraded

This used to be our favourite place. However, todsy the place is dirty and service terrinly slow and not attentive. So sad. Hope the owner will take action. Their croissants are best in town!

Baguette and coffee lovers must visit

Food was ok. Quiche a little dry and hard, waitress forgot my cappucino order and had to remind them. Liked the decor and vibe

Bitsy is one of my favorite spots in UB! The atmosphere is cozy and modern, making it a great place to relax, catch up with friends or network. The drinks are consistently high quality. You can ask for any drink even if it’s not in the menu Staff are friendly, attentive, and speak great English, which is a huge plus for travelers. They open early morning as a coffee shop and close late as a bar. Whichever evening you come, it’s always full. In summer they open the terrace, in winter it’s worse.

I would recommend this small bespoke cocktail bar with a good selection of drinks. It fills up quickly, so be prepared to wait for a table.

Tiny place with not much seats. A little on the pricy side, but hear me out. It's not too bad considering what you get. I would recommend

It’s a very small but cute place. You shouldn’t visit with a large group—2 to 3 people is ideal because of the limited space. It’s located inside the mall. Their cocktails are good and highly recommended.

Cocktails weren't special. And they need to polish some details like the paper menu was broken, they brought the cocktails without napkin and coaster. The staff was nice though

Super cozy locale for great drinks and convo's ably served by a friendly (and talented) team. Standing room only most nights, so get in early for one of the tables if you've got a group! Craft cocktails and Aussies beers recommended!

This place is a must-visit. The drinks are excellent, and the service is quick. The only drawback is the limited space.

They're very kind and trying to serve with do the best

Good

I felt not comfortable mostly because of the interior that is quite old.

This place is not good pls .....

Nice

Hot pot is hot pot

getting old.
