    Sometimes people say about their favourite eatery in exaggeration “It was as if going to an overseas country through exotic cuisine!”, but usually not that much. However, I must say that really is the bull’s-eye, pertinent comment to describe this Uyghur restaurant. Surely will come back soon!

    Had Uyghur food for the first time here. Nice place with friendly staff. Had a lamb meatloaf and spicy chicken and vegetable dish with flat noodles, quite tasty. The pricing is a bit expensive for the quantity, but considering the location and taste of the food, it’s quite alright. In case you’ve not tried Uyghur cuisine, this would be a good place to start.

    First time trying Uyghur food. Not too bad. Hand pull noodles are definitely the highlight. We ordered lamb’s tongue salad and lamb pastry as starters. They were great. I had never realised that lamb tongue could be so yummy. We then ordered a daipanji (big plate chicken) and a lamb pilaf for main. I heard a lot of microwave ‘ding’ sound going on and felt a bit disappointed. The chicken in the daipanji dish was not fresh. It was rather dry. Half a dish was just bell peppers. The lamb pilaf was not piping hot either. The meat, again, was dry. The portion size wasn’t really generous so we ordered a leghman (hand pull noodles in spicy sauce). It was the best main dish but, again, the meat was not fresh and a bit dry. Everything was flavourful but I felt quite thirsty after half an hour. Not sure if I would visit for the second time. The meal was about 5,000 for 2 people.

    It's my first time eating in Uygur Restaurant. The recommendation food is Uygur Style Pilaf which is suitable for toddlers. Because the taste is soft and meat chunk is tender too. Mostly here is lamb and chicken based food only several food is beef. Actually I don't really like lambs, but when I tried their stew kebab, I enjoyed it. So it's recommended dishes for lamb beginner 😁 This place is quite close to Shinjuku Park, so it's can be a good place to eat after playing with your family. 👍

    Uighur food is a mix of Chinese and Turkish cuisine. I love both so I greatly enjoyed eating here. Especially the lamb and beef dishes were awesome! Interior is also cozy.

    Everything was delicious. I forgot to photograph the skewers and the eggplant stir fry, they are worth the try. Petir manta was our favourite.

    A friend recommended this place so I went to check it out. It’s a very specific type of Chinese food, with some Turkish and middle eastern influence, out of the northwestern part of China in the Xinjiang region. It’s also seen as street food. The decor was nice and authentic, with seats close together. The lamb and chicken kebabs were great, the chili glass noodles good, and the steamed dumplings delicious. The pumpkin pancake was tasty too. The service was friendly but a bit slow. If you’re looking for something a bit different, stop on by.

    All the dishes were in general good/delicious but this is my first time having Uyghur meal. We arrived at 12:09am at 12:53pm (an hour after—all our orders arrive at 1:10pm) we are still waiting for almost all our other orders. They mentioned pilaf will take time but all other orders took time. I guess this is good that they are really cooking only after ordering but it also takes so much of our time. The prices are not cheap here. You would think you’ll save more by ordering the courses but you’ll be better off ordering what you want but it’s really expensive I think. More expensive than even typical Japanese restaurants. The whole place smells of food, you will be smelling like Uyghur food because their kitchen doesn’t have proper air ventilation. The noodles seem to be homemade here so that is good. The thickness of the noodles differs so the taste also depends. The thicker noodles are still quite hard to bite.

    Food is not bad, but they can’t really understand what you are ordering. Their Japanese capability is very poor… Keep forgetting what you ordered and give you what you haven’t ordered.😅😅

😠 Similar to what another commenter said, they definitely try forcing you leave a 5 star review on Google for them at the end of the meal. I’m pretty sure most of the 5 star reviews here are because of that, we certainly were fooled. Our personal experience: went with a group of friends shortly after...
