If you want authentic Xinjiang food， come here!Polo is a must try. A large lamb leg plus rice mixed with amazing seasoning, really enjoyed! Spicy rice noodle is great for someone like spicy food. Noodle is a little bit firm but it won’t disappoint you. Thin crust bao is awesome, full of minced and seasoned lamb, juicy inside and crispy inside.Will definitely come again to try all the food on the menu.
As a resident of tri-cities. We are lucky to have this restaurant in the Henderson mall so we can have decent Xinjiang Cuisine for a very affordable price - (in 2022) you can have an individual size Dapanji for $15...where at other place (Jiang Jiang on North road), you will need to spend $36 for the same dishWhen this place was first opened in 2018, I was pretty excited and a bit concerned how long it can last - this is Coquitlam, after all - where people just go Coquitlam grill for breakfast or dinner :)The food was decent as always. My favorite at this place is the Lamb Shank ($16) and the Dapanji ($15).Other reviewers complained about long waiting time and seemed 'unfriendly' owner. Which are true....but this place survived the great lockdown of 2020-2021...I use to see a staff beside the owner but since 2021 it has been a one man shop.As for the owner's attitude... what I can say is the owner sometimes let me felt "cold" as well, what ever you asked him, he responded with the simplest sentence possible - "Yes", "No", "OK", "they are sold out..." maybe that's his personality, and some times make him sound very cool :) , like a military man. Remember this guy is doing EVERYTHING by himself... but when it comes to the quality of the food, I think it is pretty solid. He made sure he made good food for you...that's what matters.If you enjoy Xinjiang food, I encourage to try this place... also good luck to you - the owner, thanks for serving us good xinjiang food in Coquitlam.
First time trying, very impressed. Owner was friendly and the food was freshly prepared. I tried the spicy rice noodle, it was very spicy and damn good! Definitely going back to try different dishes!
Tried their Lamb Shank Nan and Danpanji big plate chicken today and the chicken is too spicy for me but their handmade noodle is good. Lamb is perfect and not spicy! There's 15 min wait for each order.
Went on the weekend and can't wait to go again. First time trying and absolutely loved it. The flavour profiles are just wow. Spicy noodles had lots of star anise and delicious chillies but not overwhelming at all. I also liked the potatoes as I was not expecting that.The meat pie was SO tasty. I was not sure what to expect with it as I am used to the British idea of a meat pasty which can be bland but this was spiced just beautifully.A bit of a wait but it was totally worth it. Do you want super fast or do you want a foodie experience? You could tell it was fresh and made to order. If you want good quality exciting food, run don't walk!

Delicious food, especially #3 and the samsas. The food is always made to order fresh. I’m a relatively regular customer and the owner always takes our order with a smile. I also appreciate he takes pride on his food and his craft.
Visited last month and ordered lamb shank polo and da panji.Food was good. I have to wait for sometime because he prepared da panji fresh. Owner was friendly. A good option for Halal Uyghur food.
Delicious, but NOT fast FYI. Craved the mini lamb bun I tried before and also ordered the Somen with lamb. Spicy, tasty, chewy handmade noodles. Lamb bun was as delicious as before. It took about 15-20 minutes cooking time, on par with the estimate I received. Single person staffed.
This was an unexpected find, but it was a great one. We've never had Uyghur food before, but now it's a new favourite. The flavour and texture of the dishes we ordered were very unique and intriguing. The prices were average and we had to wait a while, but don't be discouraged, you get your money's worth in flavour and in portion size. I highly recommend this small establishment if you're looking to expand your pallet.
