The Bull Hotpot (Bluemon Branch)
The Bull
Individual-pot Mongolian hotpot featuring beef, mutton, and horse meat, long popular in Ulaanbaatar for group dining.
The main branch is located on the 3rd floor of the Bluemon Center at 32 J.Sambuu Street, northwest of the main square and within walking distance. Each diner gets an individual small pot, similar to shabu-shabu, paired with beef, mutton, horse meat, and Mongolian buuz, with mushroom-based vegetarian options also available. Private rooms are available. Service can be slow when busy, and reviews suggest booking in advance, though you may still have to wait a bit upon arrival. Tripadvisor lists the price range as $6–$20, with most reviewers finding it highly cost-effective. There are several other branches in the city, so be sure to double-check the address when traveling.
