Majia Shaomei (Main Branch)
马家稍美
The go-to spot for Baotou's classic breakfast of “a pot of brick tea and two liang of shaomei,” with hand-cut lamb shaomei that have thin skins and generous fillings.
Located in a two-story shop at the northeast corner of the intersection of Ardin Street and Youyi Street in Kundulun District. Its green-and-white sign has an old-brand feel, and local food guides such as Tencent News often list it alongside Yuanxiyuan as Baotou's top picks for shaomei. Signatures are hand-cut lamb shaomei, hand-cut lamb hind-leg shaomei, and shacong (sand onion) shaomei, sold by the liang (two) and served with brick tea or milk tea, with vinegar and chili oil for dipping. Also available: lamb soup, small-pot lamb offal, and clay-pot beef. Open from early morning until mid-afternoon, with about 40 yuan per person. Expect queues at weekend breakfast. It is in central Kundulun; take a taxi or bus to Ardin Street.
