As a local Mongolian who have not lived in country for long, I feel that it’s safe but like anywhere else you got be careful and be aware of your surroundings. 
Good to find a local people that want to make foreign friends rather than someone who is working as a tour guide. That’s just my opinion. I apply this whenever I travel overseas.

It’s a safe place in general, but I’ve heard and witnessed stories of sexual assault on the street (grabbing someone’s butt as they were walking), my mom being pickpocketed, drunk people fighting on the street. All of these events happened at night, so if you pay attention during dark hours, it will be okay!
