What to Order
Big Plate Chicken (Dapanji)
This massive dish features tender chicken and wide, hand-pulled noodles that soak up a rich, flavorful sauce, perfect for sharing.
"We ordered the Big Plate Chicken (Dapanji), which was absolutely massive and came with the most amazing wide, hand-pulled noodles that soaked up all the rich sauce."

Sizzling Beef Plate
A generously portioned beef dish served sizzling, with rich flavors that pair perfectly with rice.
"Sizzling beef plate also has large portion, and you'll want to order rice with it."
Thoma Simpson
Hand Pulled Noodles (Stir Fry Beef Noodles / Uyghur Laghman)
Fresh, tender hand-pulled noodles stir-fried with beef, offering a rich and well-balanced flavor.
"I tried the stir fry beef noodles and it was really good. The noodles were fresh, the beef was tender, and flavor was rich and well balanced."
Frank Hutchinson
Lamb Shish Platter / Lamb Skewers
Perfectly grilled and seasoned lamb skewers, served alongside a tasty bulgur pilaf.
"The Lamb Shish Platter was another highlight—the skewers were perfectly grilled and seasoned, served alongside a very tasty bulgur pilaf."
Yanmeng Ba
Samsa
Golden, flaky pastries filled with savory goodness, though some find the meat portion to be light.
"We also tried the Samsa, which were golden, flaky, and filled with savory goodness."
Yanmeng Ba
Rice Pudding
An emulsified, creamy dessert, not overly sweet, often topped with roasted hazelnuts for a Michelin-star-like experience.
"And if you don't like the texture of rice, it's all good because it's emulsified, so Its basically like cream. Add some rosted hazelnuts on top, and you've got yourself a Micheline Star dessert."
