This place is awesome! It's half a live music venue and half some of the best Gansu Chinese food you'll ever have! (And they're excellent at preparing lamb, no gaminess at all) We got the: #2 Night Market Beef Chow Mein #4 Spicy Grilled Lamb #5 Gansu Spicy Hot Pot As someone who didn't know much about Gansu food except Lanzhou Beef noodle this place blew my socks off. Maybe the best Chinese bbq I had as the lamb skewers were juicy, tender and flavorful. Even better than Shandong Shao Cao imo! The beef chow mein was excellent as well with a delicious umami tomato sauce. Couldn't stop eating it and the noodles were perfectly chewy. Wife loved the spicy hot pot and it was more unique and peppery. (I'm not the biggest fan of dry or wet hot pot but the one here was massive and tasty) In our hour here we got to hear some beautiful keyboard as well as some jazzy saxophone! The owners quite unique as he made a place where people can eat and enjoy music and the restaurant has great acoustics! I also saw he takes the time to talk to every table. Def loves what he does and sharing his regions food. Another unique thing is that this restaurant is self serve and they don't charge tips so it's great value and a great place to roll with your friends or family. One of my top Chinese restaurants in USA! (The chow mein tomato sauce is seriously like crack! Couldn't stop eating it)
Yumm! They have a halal certification at the very front which is nice. The ambiance of this restaurant is very chill, I can imagine it's different at night when there is live music! I got the lamb burger (spicy) which was not very spicy, but flavored amazingly! It looks small but is overflowing with lamb. I love lamb so I didn't notice any "game-y" taste, I enjoyed it thoroughly. Service is simple, you order through QR code and drinks are self serve. No service charge or tip necessary.
Casual dining, no tipping, and no service fee -- very easygoing and stress-free. Most importantly, the food is delicious! This place is definitely for lamb lovers! There are so many options to choose from that it was hard to decide. I ended up having the Aipapa Lamb Rice Bowl, while my son ordered the lamb skewers along with a kids' meal that included chicken nuggets and fish fillets. The lamb was prepared in very different ways, but both dishes were delicious. We really enjoyed the food and the relaxed atmosphere. We'll definitely come back and try some of the other dishes!
Every dish features generous portions at reasonable prices. While 99% of restaurants nowadays charge high tips on top of everything, this place advertises no tips and no service fees--a true model of industry integrity. The owner says that except for the Yellow River water, all ingredients, techniques, and flavors are brought authentically from Northwestern China straight to Southern California. I have tried several Chinese BBQ spots in SoCal, but this seems to be the only one where every item is Halal Certified. The chili peppers come from Gansu, Northwestern China, offering rich aroma without overwhelming heat. Even the highest spice level here is roughly equivalent to a mild spice level at a Taiwanese hotpot or Sichuan restaurant. Three street food items allow you to choose your spice level: extra spicy, medium spicy, or mild. All other dishes default to regular spice. I choose mild (about a 1-out-of-10 spice level), so anyone sensitive to spice can enjoy the food with complete peace of mind. Aipapa Pulled Lamb Leg ($14.99): Out of all the dishes, my absolute favorite is this lamb leg, which is served without heavy spices or chili powder. Paired with raw garlic, sliced onions, and cumin powder, it delivers a straightforward, satisfying flavor. The lamb comes in generous portions with zero gamey odor. It brings to mind Xiao Feng from Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils (天龍八部的蕭峰), heartily enjoying his meat and drink. Lanzhou Potato Noodles ($12.00): The restaurant's original signature dish. Served in a massive bowl that easily feeds two, these wide noodles come loaded with sesame, peanuts, minced meat, and a marinated egg. Lanzhou Hot Lamb Sandwich ($11.99): Served fresh and hot, the blend of spices, melted fat, and warm textures is at its absolute best. It is a creative and unique way to enjoy grilled lamb--essentially a roasted lamb sandwich. Spicy Grilled Lamb, 6 pcs ($11.99): Dine-in only. Metal skewers prevent this item from being packed for takeout as-is (though you can slide the meat off into a container). As I am busy taking photos, the skewers cool down, but the owner kindly takes them back to the kitchen to reheat. Wild West Beef Short Ribs & Fries ($19.99): A new addition to the menu featuring fried short ribs paired with fries. The short ribs are pre-boned and cut into bite-sized pieces, making them easy to chew. Heineken Non-Alcoholic Beer: A great choice for those who want a drink without worrying about driving, or Muslim guests adhering to alcohol restrictions. Sweet Fermented Rice Milk Tea ($8.99): Made with fermented highland barley, this unique beverage pairs beautifully with milk tea. Taking a sip after a bite of meat cleanses the palate of residual flavors, making each subsequent bite taste even better--much like eating pickled ginger between pieces of sushi. Live singers perform every night starting at 7 PM, with Thursday and Saturday evenings being the most vibrant. Menu Items & History The business originally starts as a roadside stall selling potato noodles near Rowland Heights, moves to a small shop in Hacienda Heights, and eventually relocates to its current spot in October 2025. Located right next to Yi Fang Fruit Tea, this location is a highly competitive dining hotspot in Rowland Heights with frequent turnover: first Friendship BBQ, then Ma's Kitchen, and now Aipapa Hot Burger. Coincidentally, all three happen to be BBQ establishments. 所有菜餚肉品皆量大管飽且價錢合理。 如今市面上九成九餐廳動輒索取高額小費，這家卻標榜無小費和無服務費，堪稱業界良心。 老闆說除了黃河的水帶不過來，其餘所有食材、做法、口味，都原汁原味從中國西北帶來南加州。 我在南加試過好幾家中式燒烤，但似乎只有這家，所有餐點皆符合清真食物標準。 辣椒來自中國西北部的甘肅，香而不辣。可能大辣的水準也就台灣麻辣鍋 和 四川辣度的小辣。 三樣街頭小吃品項可選大辣、中辣、小辣。其他品項默認都是普通辣。我選小辣（微微一分辣），怕辣的人完全可放心食用。 手撕羊腿，14.99美金：所有餐點中，我最愛的反而是這支沒放太多香料和辣粉的羊腿。搭配大蒜、洋蔥絲、孜然粉食用，簡單直接的澎湃感。這家的羊肉不但份量給的多，還全無羶味。 腦海浮現天龍八部中，蕭峰大口喝酒，大口吃肉的豪邁。 蘭州土豆粉，12美金：創店初始招牌菜。超大一碗，甚至夠兩人分食，含芝麻、花生米、肉末、滷蛋的大碗寬麵。 辣子羊肉夾餅子，11.99美金：剛烤好上桌時，羊肉的香料、脂肪、熱度等口感全在最佳狀態。算是獨特有創意的烤羊肉吃法。可理解為烤羊肉三明治。 辣子烤羊肉六串，11.99美金：僅限堂食。主要是鐵簽燒烤無法外賣。其實也可外賣，只不過要把肉擼下裝盒。僅限堂食。 忙於拍照烤肉涼了，老闆貼心的幫我回廚加熱。 西部牛小排，19.99美金：此乃店家新推出品項，炸牛小排和炸薯條食用。牛小排已事先去骨，切成一塊塊，對牙口不好的人友善。 海尼根零酒精飲料：想喝酒又怕酒駕，或守酒戒的伊斯蘭教徒，都可放心飲用。 甜醅子奶茶，8.99美金：以高原青稞（高原的麥子）發酵而成，搭配奶茶的口感獨特飲品。 我是吃口肉，喝口奶茶，把嘴裡殘留菜味清除後，再更好的品嚐接下來的菜肉美味，就類似品嚐壽司後吃醃薑片除味的邏輯。 每晚七點開始有歌手駐唱，尤其週四和週六晚間最熱鬧。 菜單品項和餐廳歷史： 最早在南加州羅蘭崗附近路邊攤賣土豆粉，後移去哈崗一家小店，最終在2025年10月搬至現址。 這個和大中華超市同個廣場，一芳水果茶旁邊的店面，算是羅蘭崗餐飲業一級戰區，更迭速度頻繁：先是友情客串，再是疆來，現是艾鬍子。 以上三家全是燒烤店，不知是否巧合？
Sooooooo yummy! I ordered the soup and skewers, and they were both so good. The soup was warm and flavorful, and the skewers were perfectly seasoned and really tasty. Such a good lunch combo。filling but not too heavy. Definitely a great choice for lunch, and I'd order this again!
Had a wonderful experience at this restaurant! The food was delicious, fresh, and beautifully presented. The service was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. Everything we ordered was flavorful and satisfying. Overall, a great place for a meal, and I'd definitely come back again. Highly recommended!
Walked in and was surprised they were running a live band. Like you're in Western China in the middle of the desert eating Cumin Spicy Lamb and drinking lamb soup, but Dwayne Johnson descends with a Yukelele and starts singing random songs by Frank Sinatra, Tom Jones, Cyndi Lauper and Teresa Teng. But yes the new item on the menu, Gansu Lomo Saltado with Lamb Racks, not bad though, a little on the dry side, which is why I got the soup with it. Would be nice though if they and a braised version with sauces drenched on Fries...that be bomb. 但還是不錯吃。 今晚坐位比較奇葩一點，旁邊正妹搞得我不好意思那相機拍演唱會。GG.
The specy lamn and fries are huge and tasty. The noodle soup is top notch. Thai is def something we will come back again. FWIW: They refuse tips. Wow
We ordered Lanzhou cold skin noodle , Aipapa Beef Rice Bowl, and hand pulled lamb. Delicious!!
My wife and I eat here fairly frequently. We've been patrons since their original location in Hacienda Heights. The food here is just exceptional. We can't give the place enough praise. The lamb dishes here are exquisite. They just know how to make it so packed with flavor that we crave it quite frequently. The beef is equally great too but the lamb here is just next level. We've never tried anything like it. I think to truly enjoy the place, order any of their lamb dishes. This is how you'll gauge the quality of meat and their cooking. Ordering something that's not their specialty and reviewing that feels like reviewing ice cream from a non-specialty ice cream shop. The overall service here is great. There's a reason why we're always here. The ambiance here is nice too. Live music, instruments all over, and a beautiful wall of all the customers who visit. We've seen the expansion of that wall too. Seeing the difference between the size when we first started going to their original spot to how it is now always makes us smile when we visit. I can't recommend this place enough. This is without a doubt, our most frequented restaurant.
The lamb leg was tender enough; although it didn't fall apart at the slightest touch, it was easy to eat. The price is reasonable, and they specifically stated that tipping is not required. The atmosphere is great! They also have live singing performances here on weekend afternoons!
Live music, delicious food, no tip! What more can you ask for?! The type of cuisine is spicy and sour and super flavorful. It's halal so mostly featuring lamb and beef. We had the skewers, the lamb sandwhich, potato noodles, potato's, and crawfish over rice. Staff is friendly and this place has a real sense of community. It's a rare gem very nice to have in Rowland.

If you are craving high-quality lamb, this is the spot. We tried the Lanzhou hot lamb burger and the Aipapa hand pulled lamb. You can tell the meat is fresh and cooked with care--incredibly tender and packed with flavor. The portion sizes were generous for the price, 10/10 recommend!" read more

Been coming here pretty much weekly and this review is long overdue. This place is one of the many good restaurants around here. The food is good, great atmosphere and live music/singing! The staff here is very friendly and accommodating. It's very self serve in terms of refreshments and utensils. And there's no tips or service charges! That's definitely a rare find in restaurants! If you are in the area and in the mood for some food and live music then stop by AIPAPA. You wont be disappointed! read more
What an interesting and great restaurant to find in our corner of town! Aipapa is such an eclectic place with live music at night serving up delicious north western Chinese cuisine! Heavy on the spice and cumin flavors, it really hits the spot. Most interesting of all, There is no tipping here! Not even a surcharge on the menu! Of course this does come with self serve utensils, drinks, etc. but it is very refreshing to see a restaurant claim no tipping and actually be no tipping! This is such a cool local spot that seems to actually have a lively community and I love to see it! read more
Atmosphere and vibes are amazing here! The moment you step in, it feels like you're transported somewhere new and different. Servers are super friendly and nice. There's a new tip policy here (!!), and utensils, water, and drinks are self service. Kid friendly, with high chairs and a little kid menu available. Now on to the food, everything we ordered was very tasty. Not to mention very reasonably priced. My favorite was the lamb soup and lamb hamburger. Apparently this place has live music at the night time? And I see that they have beer and tea drinks. Would be interested in checking this place out for dinner another time. read more
This review is based solely on the beef chow mein since that's all I tried. We ordered 5 entrees to-go and they were all ready within 15 minutes of calling, so I appreciated the quickness. The Yongchang Rd night market beef chow mein (non-spicy) was exactly what I was looking for since I didn't want something oily this day -- yes I know, all their signature dishes feature oil. The noodles were thick, perfectly chewy, and well-coated in the sauce. The only thing I didn't like about it was that the beef was tough. Every piece looked tender at first glance, but it was so chewy and not fun to eat. I also think the dish would have been even better with more onions. read more

We were there on a Friday night around 7; there was a short wait. It was very pleasant even during the wait because there was live music. Since this was our first time there, we tried some recommendations from the yelp reviews. They were all very good with the exception of their lamb skewers. They were tough to bite and not as tasty as we would expect. The lamb rice bowl was my husband's favorite and my favorite was the lamb soup. Of course my son enjoyed the chewy beef noodle. Oh, not mentioning that they don't accept tip, but we left some to the singer. I enjoyed the ambience and would come back again. read more

Aipap Kitchen *April 19th, 2026 *12pm- Sunday *2 Stars Environment: *Indoor Parking *Crowded Parking Lot *Self Service and Ordering Food/Drink: *Lanzhou Hot Chicken Sandwich *Youngchang Rd Night Market Beef Chow Mein (non-spicy) *Lanzhou Potato Noodles I saw how popular this place was on yelp so decided to try this place with so friends. The ordering process is fully self-service through your phone, and you also have to grab your own utensils and water. The setup was easy enough, but the space was crowded and parking was a bit hectic. The food itself was okay, but not something I'd order again. The Lanzhou Hot Chicken Sandwich lacked flavor and the bread was pretty dry. The Lanzhou Potato Noodles seemed to be one of their more popular dishes, but in my opinion, it wasn't especially memorable and didn't taste all that different from regular noodles. I also tried to use the restroom, and although there were two stalls, only one was functional because the other door was broken and off the hinge. I ended up not using it and just left. Overall, I'm glad I tried it once, but probably wouldn't come back. read more

Absolutely one of the best Chinese restaurants we've visited! Every dish was packed with flavor and made with fresh ingredients. The stir-fried diced beef was tender, juicy, and perfectly seasoned. The crispy lamb with potatoes had an amazing combination of crispy texture and bold spices, and the shredded potato salad was incredibly fresh, crunchy, and refreshing. The portions were generous, the presentation was beautiful, and everything came out hot and fresh. The staff were friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome throughout the meal. The restaurant was clean, comfortable, and had a great atmosphere for dining with family and friends. We genuinely enjoyed every dish we ordered and will definitely be coming back to try more from the menu. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for authentic, delicious Chinese food! 10/10 experience. Highly recommended! read more

The best food in Rowland Heights and no tips! Amazing music too!!! So good! Also the service too!! read more
What a fantastic concept being a no tip establishment. Prices are good! Order from the QR code on the table. Self-serve water, utensils, condiments and to-go containers. The Lanzhou Lamb Burger was really good and was packed with meat. Highly recommend that dish. As far as the Lanzhou potato noodle, that wasn't for me. The noodle texture is great but the sauce was like two cups of oil that didn't have much depth of flavor except salt. It looked spicy but wasn't at all. It looked like a soup but it was literally all oil. I love oily foods such as Sichuan cuisine but this was just too much oil that I resorted to just eating the noodle while all the minced meat and other ingredients got lost in the pool of fat. Luckily I did order the just lamb soup so that helped balance it out. read more

Authentic Northwestern Chinese flavor. Different kinds of lamb are all delicious! No tips and service fee needed. read more
First time trying Chinese Halal food at Aipapa Kitchen and it was quite delicious. I ordered the lamb skewers, shredded potatoes and beef chow mein. My bf tried this place before but he said the lamb skewers are bomb and doesn't taste gamey. I personally don't like lamb because of the taste but after trying the skewers, I was a fan and ate half of the order. The lamb skewers were seasoned and cooked so well, there was no gamey taste to it. The chow mein was very flavorful and it was not your average chow mein. It was rich in flavors and had a hint of coolness in it. The shredded potatoes was a nice touch to balance all the flavors. The milk tea is very creamy and unique. I also ordered the tea to try out and it was very soothing and feels refreshing after eating the food. The environment reminded me of a street night market where it was self service. To order the food, you must order through a QR code and all the cups/utensils are in the middle where you go grab yourself. Also no tips are needed. Aipapa also hosts magic nights too where you can buy the tickets on the QR code. The environment is a great place to hang out with friends or watch one of their shows that they offered. They also have live music there too. For parking, there wasn't an issue because it was a shared lot and there was a lot of spaces. I would definitely be coming back next time and ordered myself an order of my own lamb skewers. read more

If you love lamb, this is the place to go! The restaurant has a modern, clean setting with a warm and friendly atmosphere. The service was excellent--everyone was welcoming and attentive. The food was fantastic. The lamb rice bowl was tender and flavorful, and the pull lamb leg was fall-off-the-bone delicious with authentic Chinese flavors. Everything tasted fresh and well prepared. One unique thing is their no-tipping policy, which they politely emphasize. Great food, great service, and authentic Chinese cuisine--i will definitely be back! read more

Very good environment, food was fresh and quick! I like the lamb skewer the best. Sometimes the boss will come out to talk about music. They have performance periodically at night also. read more
