Dou Dou Restaurant

I thought it's mission impossible to have authentic food from my hometown in Australia or anywhere else in the world, but this restaurant did it. It's not perfect, but it's so close. Definitely try this place out if you'd like to experience Hohhot delicacies.

Looking to try Mongolian, authentic Mongolian noodles? Look no further, they have a yurt inside. Must book - Min 6ppl plus I think. Try the cold noodle salad, stir fry oat noodles & Mongolian lamb dumplings...different and an experience.

Friendly staff with good service, nice restaurant. The picture shows the burger lunch combo which was nice. The cold noodles side dish was amazing, but the burger was very dry and would be better with some gravy or something in it. Nice experience.

Very authentic Inner Mongolia noodles, the taste of the mutton skewers is also very authentic, the service is very warm and thoughtful, Will come here often in the future。

A very poor restaurant. Upon seeing the reviews here, either this place has massively lowered its' quality or there are not honest reviews. Who knows.So I came here with my partner. We decided NOT to get the Lanzhou beef noodles from across the street and to try this place instead.The building is great and the environment is clean and modern.Service was poor, with my waiter bringing me the wrong food then arguing with me about it. I am pretty sure I got overcharged for 2 items I did not want. Language was an issue, with our waiter having trouble with both English and Mandarin. No doubt this led to the confusion.The food:My partner got a soup noodle dish with sichuan pickles, pork and thick rice noodles. The noodles were cooked ok (but they were factory made, so..), the pork slices were overcooked. The soup itself had an unpleasant taste, as if there was too much fat in the soup. However, the sichuan pickles were nice (again from a factory, it's the same stuff you use for sichuan fish soup) and there was a generous number of quail eggs.I got (or tried to get) pan fried pork dumplings with cold noodle salad (as a deal for $15, which is reasonable). Unfortunately, my waiter brought out what they describe as a chinese burger.Chinese burger:A bao-like bread sliced in half and filled with shredded, slow cooked pork belly. As I understand it, the original dish should have red cooked pork belly inside it. That would have been nice. The pork belly in this was very, very bland. One bite was enough to avoid it, especially when I didn't order the stuff. Of course they charged me for their mistake.Pan fried pork dumplings:These were very poor. They seem to be influenced by xinjan style dumplings, as the filling is very finely minced and the dumplings are wrapped in a unique style. However, they were quite bad. They took like 20 minutes to make, yet were soggy EVEN on the pan fried side. The texture was really a let down. Like everything with this place, the taste was bland. There was a slight hint of coriander, which I found unusual in a dumpling. The texture of the filling was sort of gross, with stringy bits of collagen breaking up the monotony of hyper-minced meat. Salt was lacking.Cold noodle salad:They never brought me my salad, but charged me for it anyway.Tofu Skin Salad:This was the best dish. There was reasonably fresh coriander and a nice sesame taste. But it is faint praise.

Inner Mongolian food is amazing and very authentic and there is a Mongolian performer that does throat singing and is an overall incredible singer.Very rare to see something like this so if you have some time during the weekends and Friday come down because you won’t be disappointed!

I have been to Doudou a few times with my friend, staffs are always nice with great service.Food was amazing, very authentic Inner Mongolian Food.The boiled Lamb is tender and juicy. Highly recommendOat noodle soup is unique, bun and cakes are delicious, especially most of the noodles and buns are whole grain, which provides a healthy option.Will definitely visit again.
