The food is amazing, quality of ingredients as well as just the combination of flavors is awesome and to get anything similar you would have to travel hours. Anyone complaining about how long it takes should order in advance rather than post invalid reviews, food like this HAS TO TAKE TIME which is why it tastes how good it is, if you can’t wait this long for something out of this world go get fast food. City is blessed to have such a talented chef willing to share his food.

First time here and ordered the lamb shank with naan (menu #5). The lamb was tasty, but small portion. The bread portion was large, but quite hard texture. Fun to try, but wouldn't go out of my way to return.

★★★★★

This place is real boutique place just for Uyghur cusine, as the owner does everything byhimself, it brings the real taste of Uyghur cusine. Samsa and Somen is highly recommended.

Of the Uyghur restaurants in Greater Vancouver still in business, this might be the best in terms of food quality and flavors. But there's a big caveat: Be prepared to wait for a long time! With only one person in front of me, I still waited at least 20 min just to get my order taken and maybe another 20 min to get food. Some people who got in line shortly after me, didn't get to put in their order until sometime after I got my food. Meaning they probably waited 40 min just to order and who knows how long to eat. This is because there's only one person (owner/operator?) working, who seems to come out to the front to take one or two orders, before disappearing into the kitchen for extended periods of time, hand pulling noodles and ensuring the food is as fresh as can be.

Great food that's worth the wait and the setting. It's set in a food court, so it's not like you're in the greatest of surroundings. However, the food is more than worth it. Went for the polo (lamb shank with rice) and a samsa (meat-filled pastry). The samsa was delicious, and I would happily come again to buy 5 and take them away. The portion of the polo was huge, the lamb tender, and the rice very flavourful, especially with the spicy cucumber salad mixed in, which added a bit of heat. Don't come expecting fast food (its setting in a food court is a bit deceptive in this sense). It does take a little while to get it (probably 15 mins for me, and I came at a quiet time of day). But, I would much rather wait the time to get good quality food, than get instant food which was reheated / prepared poorly etc.

Amazing food. Poor experience. The entire operation is done by a single person, who appears to be cooking and on phone the entire time. He seems withdrawn and uninterested in taking orders from anyone. The wait for food is VERY long, almost 30 minutes for a bowl of lamb shank and nan. The lamb shank is super tender and the soup is very flavourful with a hint of spiciness. There could be more meat though. The nan is excellent, especially dipped into the soup. Unfortunately, I can't recommend this place due to the slow service.

Tried the lamb shank with naan! The soup that comes with it tastes fresh and super hot! Lamb shank is juicy and soft. The naan was crazy good, it was crispy on the outside and soft inside. Great for dipping with the soup, I wish there was more lamb sauce that came with it.

Had a crave for 手抓饭。did some googling and decided to try here which was the best decision of the day. We went a little before lunch time so the wait was not bad at all. 手抓饭 was just fantastic. My husband ordered the soup, bread and lamb leg and it was just beyond the word. We ended up taking extra five bread home to share with friends and families. The owner is doing everything by himself including taking orders, prep of the food and serving it over the counter. So I understand it will take some time if it’s really busy. But definable worth the wait and drive!

This store is in the Henderson Mall foodcourt. For those who require Halal food, they can find it here. The dishes he serves, particularly the meat turnovers and noodles are very good, as they are made fresh. Only downside is that it takes long to get your order due to it being made fresh for you. But if you have the time,definitely recommend a visit.

Went here on 8/31/24, which was the first day of a long weekend. We waited till 12:30, but the store was still closed. If the owner decides not to open on a specific day, could they simply update Google Maps? Service

September 22, 2024

Previous problems, such as placing an online order successfully, he insisted that it was not done until I found out the order... I won t give more examples, but this experience was very unpleasant: after skipping the order, he made it when he arrived at the store. Wrong. After making a large plate of chicken again, the taste was very bland. It seemed that almost no salt was added. After I asked, he said, I dont know. I just followed the previous method. Its the same as before... Say something. His tone was not very good either, and he finally said, What do you want from me? Bad attitude

I haven t had Lagman for over 15 years since my childhood in Makkah - I couldn t believe myself when I looked it up and this humble place has it all. The noodles was fresh, hand pulled on the spot, I enjoyed every bite of it, and the portion was absolutely generous. I came all the way from west van, and I couldn t be happier. It brought back beautiful memories. Rakhmat!

We were really excited to try this place but it was a very underwhelming experience. It was after 3pm on a Sunday afternoon. We were the only ones waiting at their stall, and the person working did not even acknowledge us and continued to stare at their cell phone. It took over 5 minutes before our order was finally taken, and then maybe 20 minutes more before our food was ready - which would have been acceptable except our food was barely lukewarm at best once we got it. It s really too bad because the taste was actually pretty good. Maybe don t expect too much, given it s still just a food court. Sadly it s just another overhyped place.

The grilled buns, large plate of chicken and Xinjiang fried noodles in this restaurant are super delicious, and the boss makes all the noodles freshly. It just takes a long time. If you are hungry, you must not choose this restaurant. The good food takes time to cook.

I have been waiting forever to try authentic Uyghur food and just so happened to stumble upon this fine establishment. I approached the front counter to place my order with 1.5hr left before closing and the owner said Im sorry brother we actually had to close early today we sold out of 95% of our menu today. My heart sank because I was so excited, but was also filled with joy because I knew if a restaurant sold out early I know it meant this place is amazing. The owner could tell I was saddened to hear that but I knew It was tough to say to a customer. He then said I have enough for one order of Lamb Polo and the lamb dumpling soup if I was interested. I quickly said yes and took him up on the offer. This was one of the best meals I have had in a long time, and I am very very grateful for the owner to allow me to experience true Uyghur Cuisine. The food was perfectly seasoned and cooked every bite filled me with joy. Highly Highly recommend this place to anyone out there reading this, you truly wont make a bad decision by coming here. Proper 10/10 rating!!! Thank you so much , and I definitely will always be coming back here!

The food at this restaurant is fantastic. It is one of my family s go to restaurant and we drive 30 minutes out of our way just for the restaurant. The food is fresh, flavourful, and hearty. We always get a few extra samsas and meat pies to eat over the next few days because they are delicious and so well made. Everything we ve tried at the restaurant has been exceptional, with our favourites being the ququre soup, polo, and dapanji.

The owner is running this food court site as a restaurant. Both the price and waiting time (also the food taste and quality) are matching a dine-in restaurant, but the service is totally a down side, even by food court standard. He just ignores the customers ringing bell and continues to prepare food or talk with his friends or someone. When talking to customers, he often seems impatient, doesnt want to explain in detail.

Not too often do you come across Uyghur food (and in a foodcourt and a Chinese style Mall). Pretty decent food. They also hand stretch their noodles. Its worth a try. Free parking at Henderson Mall.

Came here for the dapanji (chicken with hand pulled noodle) which was really good! The baozi (lamb buns) were average, the lamb filling was kind of tough and chewy. Saw people order other dishes and they looked good too, just beware that the wait time is generally quite long (I 40 minutes for those 2 dishes, so did everyone else who ordered before and after me, and yes it is a a food court restaurant lol)

I really liked that they have Uyghur culture in the lower mainland of BC. I tired their lamb Samsa so delicious. Plus the lamb didnt have that strong flavor that they have in other places.

I wish I could give it 6 stars! The food here is amazing. The Big Plate Chicken ( ) was absolutely delicious! I havent had such authentic taste in a long time. The noodles are obviously hand pulled. They were long and delightfully chewy. The entire dish was so flavorful.. Do be warned, there are Sichuan peppercorns in it, and the chicken is bone in. But it all contributed to the awesome flavor. I finished the entire plate, even though I was full half way through... The Thin crust Samsa was also very good. Cant wait to try other dishes here. (Although, I dont know how anything can be better than the Big Plate Chicken) Do be patient, and prepare to wait. The owner works here by himself. He is very friendly. But it does get busy. And he obviously makes his food with a lot of care. Trust me, its worth the wait. I wish he could hire a few more people and open a real restaurant. The food quality is definitely there! (Btw, Im not related to the owner at all, just very excited to discover this amazing food. )

I normally don t leave restaurant reviews, but had to for this one. I ve had food from this place several times in person and by delivery and they never disappoint me. Food is always freshly cooked, and we can see the owner hand pulling all the noodles and doughs in the kitchen once we order. For that reason, the wait time is expected to be a bit longer, but DEFINITELY WORTH IT. I do recommend going before getting super hungry. But the quality is guaranteed and the food is constantly good. Me and my boyfriend have tried more than half of the food on the menu now and we will be coming back for the other dishes as well.

★★★★★
December 22, 2022

Went on the weekend and cant 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 dont walk!

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 dish When 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 owners 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 thats 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...thats 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.

After indulging in Uyghur food in Central Asia, we were pleasantly surprised to discover Xinjiang food ten minutes drive from our home. Located in otherwise withering Henderson Place Mall, this place offers a very modest menu, but its a perfect amount of dishes for us. One visit is not enough to try everything we want, but we are coming back for sure. We tried Lagman, Somen Lagman and Samsa. All dishes were delicious. Please keep in mind that despite being located in the food court, they still need 15-20 minutes to prepare your food, which is excellent news to me as many dishes are made to order, so please plan your visit accordingly.

This is one of my absolute favourite restaurants in Coquitlam, if not my absolute favourite. The lovely owner makes your meal fresh when you order it and the care that goes into every aspect of the delicious, flavourful, unique food here is very apparent. Make sure to go before you get hungry because the food isn t fast, and the dish you want might be sold out long before closing. It s all worth it because you know that you re supporting people who make good, real food. Best lamb dishes ever!!

I ordered the lamb shank nan. The soup is very flavorful and its very different from Western soups as theres no chunks of vegetables or meat. But still very good. The lamb is soooo soft. I would recommend if youre a fan of lamb. The only reason for four stars is because the whole dish felt a bit meaty and would be nice if there was some vegetable side dish. But good overall

Gonna go against the grain here. This is why -I ordered the #2 chicken and #12 naan 2pm on a Saturday afternoon. After paying, the owner tells me it s going to be a 25 min wait. This is not acceptable for a food court meal and he should ve told me before I placed the order. -the flavor is honestly underwhelming. I don t know if this is the way it s typically prepared but the chicken was dry, bony, and felt overcooked for me (see photo). I don t recommend it. The best part of the dish was actually the noodles -the naan was alright. A bit stale for me but I think it was authentic Edit: the owner s response is dismissive and disingenuous. Of course I was told about the wait AFTER paying. Why else would I write that? I would ve taken my business elsewhere! I didn t feel like it was right asking for a refund but since the food was also not up to expectations I felt the need to write a review.

I went there on Sunday, it wasn t even that busy. The owner told me there will be a bit of a wait, I was expecting maybe 15 minutes. I went back after 15-20 minutes. The owner said it will be another 20 minutes because he has a backlog of orders. The owner really need to know when to stop taking orders so that there s a reasonable wait time. And he has to be transparent about the wait times, 50 minutes is not a bit of wait . This is a food court so people are expecting fast food with only little wait. He really doesn t know how to manage a restaurant and has extremely poor customer service. I recommend him getting an assistant to handle the front of house so that he can focus on cooking, and instead of running back and forth between kitchen and the front. I also notice he works very slow so perhaps work a bit faster because no one wants to wait an hour for a bowl of noodles no matter how good it is.

December 22, 2021

I asked which meals were vegetarian and he sighed heavily. I asked him what was in it and he sighed again and told me about the noodles. When I asked more specifcally he said, I dont know. So I resigned to eat elsewhere. Basically expressed how annoyed he was to turn me away.

I grew up on Uyghur food back home. There are unfortunately not a lot of Uyghur restaurants here. To this day I have never eaten at a Uyghur restaurant in metro Vancouver area that s more authentic than this one. Everything was so delicious and just the way I remembered! One bite of the samsa took me back to those childhood streets filled with Uyghur food vendors. You can clearly tell the noodles were hand pulled and so much better than machine made noodles. The portions were also decent for food court food. I m so glad that I ve found this hidden gem. I drove from Richmond to Coquitlam for the food. The wait however was a bit long because this is a one man restaurent, but it was totally worth it. I really hope the owner will do well and expand his restaurent some day.

Had a go at the Lamb Shank + Nan. One of the best in my opinion. They also have pulled noodles but you will have to wait. A small price to pay if you like your pulled noodles fresh.

It was our first time trying Uyghur food so we had little to no expectations. As it turns out Uyghur hand pulled noodles are nothing short of delicious! The meat pies were also very good; reminiscent of Chinese scallion cakes but with pieces of lamb and onion inside. We cant wait to go back to try the lamb polo and samsa now! FYI if youre expecting fast food then go elsewhere. Its a one man show and hes got a loyal base of customers that call in advance. Those people know whats up and well certainly be doing the same.

Omg this man (restaurant owner) doesn t know the taste and how to make food for the customers! We wanted to try this halal place from quite some time. We were so hungry when we went there it was a long wait for almost 40mins but we didn t say anything for that, food was so smelly and salty we just tasted and put all the food in trash, we paid 37 bucks for this non sense, would never come back cause it was the worst food ever

This was an unexpected find, but it was a great one. Weve never had Uyghur food before, but now its 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 dont be discouraged, you get your moneys worth in flavour and in portion size. I highly recommend this small establishment if youre looking to expand your pallet.

This is a very delicious Xinjiang restaurant. I waited for more than half an hour and no food was served... Can you wait until it is ready before opening... It is really a bad experience to wait for so long... It is really bad to wait for so long in foodcourt Not recommended for those in a hurry. If you are not in a hurry then I 100% recommend this dish.

Well worth the wait. Man was committed to taking care of each prepared dish. Making pulled noodle from scratch in the lamb noodle dish. Great spice blend. My teenage son and daughter referred to him as STEEZ... saying the man carried on his work with great style and ease.

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.

I fell in love. I was looking for a long time to find a place which I can eat juicy food. Finally God excepted my pray and blessed me with Uyghur Cuisine. Their foods are extremely delicious and most important things they prepare foods freshly. After having our supper they offered us tea too. This is family business. I always support those small businesses. If you are looking for yummy food, hot service and kind owner don t think too much to go there.

This is my first time trying Uyghur Cuisine. May need to wait a while here, not necessarily fast food (in fact I waited about 45 minutes for my order). But it is authentic and tasty! I ordered: #2 Dapanji (Spicy Chicken with wide noodles) $12.90 -Unique spices, star anise and coriander seeds, and cinnamon -Chicken has some bone -red/green peppers, potatoes -Noodles are really tasty because they soak up the sauce in the bottom #7 Thin Crust Samsa (Lamb) $3.00 -Tasty little snack, not a lot of sauce inside but definitely worth the $3.

I have only been there once to try a Samsa but found it to be delicious. On top of that, the owner is a wonderful man who allowed me to pay less than owed because I had no change. When I gave him a small tip and then came back he tried to give me my pop for free. I look foward to going back to try their braised lamb shank on rice ($13) or their hand pulled noodles....or both...
