Mongolian food is best sampled around the Mongolian quarter of town and University Road (Daxue lu), in the southeast of Hohhot. The food here is simple and mainly yak milk or meat based. Hotpot restaurants are, most noticeably, on the up, proabably because of their popularity with the Han Chinese throughout China.
Mao Lin Hotpot City (Maolin huoguo cheng, Tel: 0471-6966231) on Xinhua dajie. A large restaurant serving a good selection of meats and sauces for hotpot.
Malaqin Restaurant (Malaqin fandian) on Xincheng xijie. Serves both Chinese and Mongolian food in excelent style, with an especially good hotpot.
Tai Yang Hotpot City (Taiyang huoguo cheng, Tel: 0471-6281895) on Xilin nanlu, near to the railway station. Popular and lively restaurant that serves a selection of hotpot and other Mongolian style food.
Mongolian Yingmei Restaurant (Mengu yingmei shicheng) at the eastern end of Hulunbei'er beilu, near to the horse racing stadium (Saima chang). Serves a good selection of Mongolian dishes, especially good is the hand-held mutton.
Yili Muslim Restaurant (Yili qingzhen) on Dianyingyuan lu. Serves a good selection of Hohot favourites including hotpot, hand-held mutton and various noodle dishes.

For general Chinese food, and budget eating, your best bet is to head to the railway station area that has a variety of cheap and simple restaurants at affordable prices. Most of these places will not speak any English, but the Taiwan Beef Noodle Restaurant (Taiwan niurou mianguan) that is opposite the station, east of the Tongli Hotel, has a limited English menu. Slightly more expensive Chinese food can be had in the hotels, most noticeably the Inner Mongolian, Zhaojun and Xincheng hotels.

Foreign food is in short supply in the city, and your best bet for this is in the top end hotels. There are also a few fast food restaurants about town.
Xincheng Hotel (Xincheng binguan) on Hulunbei'er lu. Has the best western restaurant in the city, although a little expensive.
Golden Skillet Fried Chicken and Dairy Queen outlets in the Nationalities Market (Minzu shichang) on Zhongshan lu. Serves hamburgers, fries, hotdogs, ice cream and other fast food.
Zhaojun Hotel(Zhaojun dajiudian) on Xinhua dajie. Has a western style restaurant on the second floor.
Korean Barbeque Restaurant (Hanguo Shaokao, Tel: 0471-6292288) on Wulan chabu lu. Mutton, beef, chicken, and vegtables thinly sliced and cooked before your eyes. Served with pancakes, sauces and lettuce, rather like roast duck.
