Reviews
- tall_primroseThis Xinjiang spot is legit so good. The lamb skewers were smoky and juicy on the outside, super tender inside, with just the right fat-to-meat ratio and zero gamey taste. The baked buns were crispy and so full of juice that the second I bit in it literally burst everywhere, and the onion with black pepper combo was a really cool twist. The big plate chicken had fall-apart tender meat soaking up all the flavor, and the potatoes had totally absorbed the sauce which was honestly the best part. Inside it's got that Xinjiang vibe going on, super spacious, and the service was really attentive. The lamb soup straight up warmed my whole body, perfect for winter honestly. Definitely coming back.
