    *Youngchang Rd Night Market Beef Chow Mein (non-spicy)
    Marisa Q.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Great service. Great ambiance. Good food. It's a great spot to get a meal with friends and catchup. Owner also has cute pictures of his dog on the wall. We got the lamb skewers, the lamb burger, the potato noodle, and the beef rice bowl. All of the dishes were good and had a nice balance of flavor. Even though this isn't my favorite style of chinese cuisine, I definitely enjoyed the food here!

    Cool new place that you order from a QR code at the table and they bring it to you Staff is friendly! Looks like they have some activities and music on certain days and nights Haven't been to a place like this before They have self serve water and utensils So no tip needed! Food is good and pricing is fair! Highly recommend to come with friends and love ones for a meal

    Northwest China flavors, but make it halal Found this gem in Rowland Heights and everything is made fresh, by hand, with premium ingredients. We went ALL in: Heineken 0 crispy fried zucchini + sweet potato fries creamy potato salad lamb noodles w/ egg (the star fr) shrimp chow mein spicy beef sandwich and a whole lamb leg because why not ‍ Rich flavors, bold spices, and that homemade touch in every bite. Saving this spot for every comfort food craving

    Lanzhou Hot Beef Sandwich

    Had a really nice time at this place. Hands-down one of the best services for a self service & non-tip place! I was amazed by the warmth and welcoming Vibe from the owner and all the staff inside the restaurant, even the chef! Food was ordered via app. This was probably the only place that actually looked at the order note and followed the note instruction. Most of the places that uses app orders never follow instructions from the note. The food flavor is on the heavier side. Not really what I expected but it's not bad. The service made up for what I felt the food lacked. This place is nicely decorated and clean. Highly recommend everyone to check out. They have live band and concerts! And they ended the visit with an offer to have your picture taken so your Polaroid can be posted on their wall. Very nice touch.

    Non existent service, order from QR code. If you need something track down an employee that will not look happy to help. Cold noodle came out as soon as I sent my order. It's premade and the cucumbers were julienned hours ago. Limp and bruised Lamb sandwich was chewy, bread tasted store bought. Soup came out hot and was the best thing I ordered. It had a slight bitter after taste that made me not finish it.

    Aipapa seems like a good spot to me. I came during off hours so there weren't too many other customers. The vibe still seemed good. I liked the food and left satisfied. FOOD Potato wide noodles - I like these noodles. They have a good texture that is enjoyable. You have to be careful when you eat these noodles or else you'll splash yourself with the sauce. The noodles are a good (shorter) length though so this isn't as big of an issue. You can choose the spice level. Lamb burger - I think this looks good. I was a little surprised that most of the lamb doesn't actually fit in the bread. It's a good thing though. After eating the burger, you still have lamb to eat. DRINK The have a soda fountain and offer soda with self serve refills for $3 SERVICE You scan the code on your table and then place your order on your phone. They bring you your food and then you just pay at the register when you leave. You can take napkins and utensils from the table with the soda machine. It's limited service but everyone here seems nice and available to help if you need it. INSIDE They have several TVs inside so I think this would be a good option on sports days. PARKING Large, shared lot (free).

    This was our first time visiting Aipapa, and I had heard great things about it for a while. The restaurant is located inside Great China Plaza, in the spot where the former Xinjiang restaurant used to be. As soon as we walked in, we were greeted by a lively, energetic atmosphere that instantly set the mood. The three of us ordered the lamb vermicelli soup, stir-fried shredded potatoes, malatang, yogurt, and lamb skewers. The lamb soup was incredibly authentic--rich yet clear, and the tender boiled lamb dipped in spices was deeply satisfying. Every dish we tried was delicious, especially the potatoes and yogurt. The lamb skewers had a bit too much seasoning for our taste, but overall we were all very pleased with the meal. We're already planning to come back on a weekend to enjoy the live band performances. The owner is an artist, and it's rare to find someone who combines artistic talent with such impressive cooking skills. The service was attentive and thoughtful throughout our visit. Definitely a place worth returning to.

    We've been patrons of AiPaPa Kitchen since their Hacienda Heights location, and this is truly one of those places we must eat at least once a month. In fact, there are plenty of months where we've been here multiple times because the craving is real. The food is consistently outstanding. We absolutely love their lamb burgers and noodles--they're flavorful, comforting, and executed perfectly every time. The cold noodles are another favorite of ours, especially when we're looking for something refreshing yet satisfying. Honestly, everything we've tried here has been excellent, and the quality has never wavered over the years. Customer service here is top-class, which makes it even more impressive knowing they don't accept tips. The staff is always warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming, creating an experience that feels thoughtful and intentional rather than transactional. The atmosphere adds to the charm as well. The music selection is something we truly enjoy and complements the space perfectly--it makes dining here feel relaxed and enjoyable every single visit. And lastly, their chili oil is an absolute must-buy. We regularly keep it stocked at home, and it pairs beautifully with just about any dish. It's that good. AiPaPa Kitchen is one of those rare spots that delivers on every level--food, service, atmosphere, and consistency. A place we'll continue returning to without hesitation.

    Very fresh lamb soup, we got the lamb soup with mi fen (clear rice noodles). The lamb burger is also great but the flavor is quite strong and covers up the soup, so have the soup first!
