some of the best handmade noodles I've ever had
Amazing food - highly recommend trying one of the many handmade noodle dishes!
I can’t really say much more about this place other than that it’s like a diamond in the rough of the noodle world. I work in emergency services, and have started referring to this place as going for ‘fancy noodles’. I’m by no means an expert about regional Asian cuisine, but this is home style asian food at its heart. Do yourself a favour and get number five, your life will be better for the experience. Spicy, chewy noodles, and delicious chunks of lamb are the heart of this dish. The lamb skewers are excellent as well, smokey and saucy little chunks of happiness. One of these days I’ll force myself to diversify and order something different, but that number five is just so so good. Arguably the best noodles I’ve ever had, and I will be back for more.
Order no.11 !! Quiet unassuming restaurant serving Uyghur cuisine -- a very specific regional style and flavour of cooking. Complaining the food is oily is like going to a Sichuan restaurant and complaining the food is spicy. We have tried various Uyghur restaurants in Melbourne and this is one of the better ones. The flat noodles are freshly handmade, deliciously chewy and tasty! There is only one chef in the back kitchen so a wait time is expected. Some rules about paying on card as well.
Noodles were delish as were the lamb skewers. Dumplings tasted great, but not as filled as I would have liked. Will definitely be going back.
Adding photos of the menu cos the ones on their site are super hard to read
Wanted to try this restaurant for a while now as this serves a very specific and relatively uncommon cuisine. Saw a bad review or two here and kept putting it off until this afternoon. I have to say I am trying very hard to find a flaw. The food was fantastic and served quickly although there were a few customers already. The handmade thick noodles.......loved it. The dumplings and the beef tongue were brilliant. Most importantly the fried beans were so tasty that my 20 month old actually ate most of it :D. FYI ..... toddlers that age dont generally care much for any green veges.
The service was really friendly and the place was really clean. Also, they do accept cards. So, either we went there on a unusually good day or the negative reviewers went there on an unusually bad day. Got to go there again to see if this is what its like everyday. I highly recommend this place.
This place is pretty good!! I thought the noodles were great, I recommend having it with spice. The lamb skewers were, as expected, amazing too! I think because the other two dishes were so good, the gosh nan felt a bit plain. Maybe some more spices inside would have made it tastier. The yoghurt was really tasty and refreshing.
Cleanliness is great for such an unassuming place like this and ambience is just alright, but expected. I can't say anything regarding wait time for food as other reviews have mentioned because it was quiet when we went in, but for us it was prompt and service was very lovely and accommodating.
Give this place a go! It honestly was great and friendly. I'll definitely be back :)
Got stir fried noodle, eggplant and capsicum, skewers and yogurt. Eggplant and capsicum is awesome, on the oily side which is how it should be. Noodles chewy and tasty, personally I'll get the spicy version. Skewer is so yum, a bit smaller than I thought but I was thinking of those gigantic skewers from it's origin. Overall great meal, would come back to try different dishes.
Clean, friendly little family owned restaurant specialising in Uyghur cuisine. Very tasty food indeed. The wide flat noodles was very delicious 😋. A gem hidden away from the hustle and bustle of Footscray. Will definitely be back to try out their other dishes.
Lets just talk about food, never left any reviews on Zomato, but have to say this is the best Uigurian food I have ever had, 3.4 rating here is so underrated. Even though they only have one waitress for at dinning time but still we go there for food right?
Everything is so authentic and flavorful
Must order: everything
If you don’t order you will regret your whole life: lamb skewers, lamb skewers, lamb skewers!!!!!!!!!!!!
