Reviews
- shy_snowdropCame here with a friend and honestly the vibe was super cozy. We grabbed a corner spot that was tucked away and quiet, just the kind of place where you can chill and actually talk. The table for four was plenty big and clean, so we had room to spread out and get comfy. We ordered the lamb chop rice and the baked buns, and wow, both were so good. The lamb in the rice was really tender, and it had carrots and raisins mixed in, that sweet and savory combo was just right, every bite was packed with flavor. And the baked buns, oh man, the skin was thin and the filling was loaded, one bite and the juice just starts running out, it was so satisfying. The decor inside is simple but has that cool Xinjiang feel, super photogenic too. Good spot for two people, really nice atmosphere overall, definitely a place I'd come back to.
