  Edit: I appreciate the AI generated or heavily edited response via AI. In seriousness, please do take the time to actually write responses in the future or it makes it seem a lot less authentic.... I took time to write a human-written review and receiving AI slop does not feel great.... Original review: I want to start off with the good. The food was flavorful and prepared well. We liked every dish and the noodles were so long with a nice chewy texture. My biggest complaint is with the service. As we were eating, the busser was cleaning tables directly next to us with a spray bottle (empty restaurant at this time...), spraying 12 to 18 inches from the surface of the table. Basically, the cleaning solution was aersolizing into the air, which was uncomfortable. Smelling the cleaner changed the flavor and the eating experience. I asked to speak to the manager and informed her of this complaint. She seemed somewhat dismissive "This is the first complaint I have heard about cleaning our tables." and "We spray the cleaning towels with the spray bottle, then wipe the table; we don't spray the surface of the table." Again, I witnessed the opposite at three consecutive tables that were being cleaned, smelling the cleaner and not the yummy food. We were going to try the desserts but just wanted to get out of there after smelling the cleaner. After we packed up our food, we waited another 5 minutes for the check (no other tables at this time) and had to ask for it. Server also never checked on how the food came out (it wasn't busy) and they didn't pre-bus the empty dishes that were on our table for at least 15 minutes after we finished the plate (empty restaurant by then, only couple there). Overall, there is room for improvement. I wish the experience wasn't ruined by the cleaning solution being sprayed into the air. I hope that they do consider this feedback and don't dismiss it as a one-time complaint.

  I went to this restaurant the first time by myself, all the food looks good on the menu , I wanted to try them all.. so I ordered the royal laghman, the cold sKin noodle and the lamb skewer. All 3 dishes were delicious, especially the lamb skewer I super like it. I can tell the Laghman noodle is hand pulled noodle tested very ‘jindao’ . The only thing I would recommend is the service, it will be perfect if the waitress would check on the customer a bit more often.

  First time eating at a Uyghur restaurant and it did not disappoint! Upscale atmosphere, quick service, and the food was tasty. My fiancé and I ordered the chuchura soup, kawa manta dumplings (with yogurt for dunking!), and royal laghman noodles. They were some of the best noodles and dumplings I've had, and we even had leftovers to take home.

  Hands down incredible food, service, and atmosphere. We visited for a birthday and had family with a serious food allergy. They sat us upstairs in a beautiful alcove overlooking the street, confirmed the food we requested did not have nuts in them, and allowed us to cut our own cake. They even played happy birthday for us and it was not an empty restaurant. Thankful for this restaurant that made for a lovely evening.

  The staff are very pleasant and professional but I wasn’t terribly impressed with the “Korma Chop” stir fry dish I ordered. I’m not an expert on the cuisine but it seemed to be just noodles stir fried with a few veggies, and doused in oyster sauce. It didn’t taste “bad” and to be fair, I wasn’t really sure what to order or what to expect. I guess I expected something I wouldn’t be able to make at home with about $2 worth of ingredients, 15 minutes of prep, and 5 minutes of cooking. It’s not enough to just have clever marketing and social media branding. You’ve got to serve food that people will feel good about recommending to friends and family. This restaurant is in the lobby of my apartment building and it’s been rebranded three times in the five years I’ve lived here. I really want to like this place. I want to be able to bring friends and family here when they come to visit. The staff are great. The decor is beautiful. My only hold up is the food.
