Anwai Laoma Shaomai

Anwai Laoma Shaomai's menu is short and sweet, featuring lamb, beef, shrimp, and chives and egg varieties of fried and steamed shumai (RMB 16-38) – a flakier rendition of your average dumpling – and over a handful of cold dishes. Each table is also equipped with a pot of brick tea (砖茶 zhuānchá) to help digest the juicy shumai.

Ruxiang Piao Piao (a.k.a. Ordos Hotel Restaurant)

This restaurant, run by the Ordos government’s representative office in Beijing and housed in a residential complex near Qingnian Hu, features yurts, barbecued mutton, Shanxi-style noodle dishes and a variety of milk teas and yogurts on the menu.

Ordos Restaurant

This restaurant delivers plenty of grassland favorites like puffed rice soaked in milk tea, all manner of grilled mutton and flasks of fermented mare’s milk liquor. But there’s more to Mongolian cuisine than mutton and milk. The steppe also offers up such wild indigenous wonders like crisp, tubular “desert scallion” sautéed with chillies and served cold or mashed with potatoes. Hearty oat (youmian) and buckwheat (qiaomai mian) noodles are generously sized and powerfully meaty – this is, after all, real Mongolian hospitality.
