First time trying a halal hot pot and wasn't too bad. It was a relaxing atmosphere but we were cold (space heaters weren't doing much!). Our waiter did mix up an item (we ordered the minced beef noodle but instead received the rice noodle w traditional sauce) but he didn't bother to change it. He did get it right for takeout order though. Points to be noted: - needs additional waiters especially on weekends - place needs to be warmer especially when the temperature outside is in the single digits (visited on 2/3/23) - base for hot pot was mediocre; definitely lacked salt and was very bland A place to try once especially since it's halal but no more that that. read more

We came here to try the lamb dishes. My favorites were the lamb ribs and the sautéed bok choy with garlic. I didn't care for the lamb skewers and kidney skewers which were dry and tough. We were the only table here at a rainy weekday during lunch so the service was good. The lamb dumplings had thin skin but flavor was just ok. I would return just for the lamb ribs and the sautéed bok choy. read more

We ordered takeout from Jiang's Kitchen on a random Saturday afternoon and we were excited to try it. My brother has mentioned Jiang's on multiple occasions but for one reason or another we never came. We ordered the big plate chicken, two chicken skewers and a lamb skewer. We went not impressed. There was too much potatoes in the big plate chicken and it left a gritty texture on the whole dish. It was also more salty that what I'm used too. The skewers, in general, were really overpriced ($4 for chicken and $6 for lamb) The chicken skewers were very dry and the lamb was tough. I will probably not be coming again read more

All their dishes looked great and were very fragrant. However, I'm someone who is use to strong flavors and still found their dishes extremely salty. Their shumai dish was okay, but their lamb kebab dish paired with the naan bread was quite nice. read more

Wow, the BBQ lamb ribs are awesome. So juicy and flavorful, the meat is tender and the spices they give you are perfect too. We came with 2 kiddos and I appreciated that they put the spices on the side (the red was too spicy for the kids). The skewers were also delicious. We saw people eating oxtail at the table next to us, which looked appetizing and a few tables ordered hotpot. Overall everything coming out of the kitchen looked and smelled great, the service was friendly and attentive, and the restaurant was comfortable. The interior is pretty casual, not too upscale, and the prices are reasonable. Can't wait to come again! read more

Jiang's Kitchen - BBQ Lamb Ribs - Chinese Near Me - New York, New York

The old Jiang diner couple blocks away closed down and relocated to this location with new name. I came with high expectations but didn't leave satisfied. Me and my friend came for restaurant week which is really good deal for $29 choose from 3 courses. Overall all the dishes are a little blend, compare to authentic XingJiang food. The restaurant week price is lower also they cut down the portion, the BBQ lamb ribs only came in 4 ribs small size. Shumai also only 4 pieces instead of normal order of 6. The big tray chicken is prob the worst I had in New York. There's no bold flavor, more like just low sodium soy braised and the noodle is soggy no texture. There's only one man running the whole place, service got a big slow and hard to get his attention to get water and check. Honestly I won't come back again, would go to flushing for a better quality at a cheaper price read more

Had this last week. It was great! If you like spicy and food that has a homemade feeling to it, Jiang's kitchen is your place. The waiter mentioned that their original store (the owner is the chef!) was from fifth street. Nevertheless, my sister love this place and she is super happy to see them back to business!! The leftover tastes good too. read more

Jiang's Kitchen - Sauteed Lamb/Beef with Cumin Flavor / Xin Jiang Spiced Chicken with Chili Sauce - Chinese Near Me - New York, New York

Never thought this place would be so packed! I walked by many times prior, and thought it was a quick take out spot but I was wrong! If you like spice, this spot is for you. I came during Eid with my friends, and all the food was so delicious. The noodles were flavorful and very spicy but the enjoyable spice. There were many different types of noodles to choose from and they all make the dish completely different. Can't wait to go again! read more

Delicious halal Chinese Uyghur food, although prices are a bit on the high side. We had the lunch specials which came with a simple clear chicken soup. The sauteed noodles in traditional sauce is delicious and a bit smoky in flavor! The spice level can be adjusted. There is few options for the noodle type. I chose the hand rolled noodles since it was unique. The lamb shank was a bit too salty. Not a big fan. The lamb bun was good but I had tastier. The lamb kebab was delicious! I recommend the lamb kebab and the noodles. read more

Jiang's kitchen deserves all the hype! We haven't had such a satisfied Xinjiang cuisine for a while. N we can't wait to come back for another try. We had their special hand made noodle. Their Da PAn Ji n sizzling beef rice. Everything is perfect. Each one is season well great with flavor n reminds me of how good Chinese cuisine has been developed over the years. Overall: a must try. It's not expensive. They have a huge portion size where it can feed 4 people with 3 dishes. N it only costs 70 dollars in this inflation period. Go enjoy Jiangs's kitchen. read more

This is my review for which could be skewed because I did delivery. I ordered the lamb skewer and sizzling lamb over the rice and it was really average. The dish was fine but I was expecting to be blown away since I believe this spot specializes in lamb. I've had better Xinjiang lamb around the city than this. Wouldn't recommend you take a trip but if it's close to you, sure why not read more

This place is so good, highly recommend. For a place on saint marks, there is never a wait and bonus points for being BYOB for now. The stir fried noodles are so flavorful. - beef shumai was a bit dry - sour cabbage had sesame oil, hot oil and vinegar flavors and was refreshing - fried cumin lamb noodles was the best dish we got - baked bread with lamb rib was not my favorite, the bread was really fresh and crunch however the lamb was a bit bland in a stew form. the dish was a bit pricey but enough to feed a few people - lamb skewer- delicious seasoned well read more

Ok, I didn't want to rain on the parade because it is a HALAL hotpot restaurant but 1. the food is not worth it for the price. we ordered 3 meats and some veggies and the total came out to 160$ ‍ 2. charging us for sauce- 5$ and some pickled garlic for 5$ (we didnt even ask for the pickled garlic) ‍ 3. 7$ for a few leaves of cabbage?! lmao worst hotpot ive been to ever. not worth it. food is mediocre. read more

Jiang's Kitchen - Chinese Near Me - New York, New York

This hole in the wall on St. Marks was actually insanely good value for the food. We got the crispy chicken, lamb skewers, ribs, and a few other bites. Everything was delicious - the lamb was perfectly cooked and had the right amount of spices/garnish to compliment the meat, and the chicken was awesome with the seasoning/crunch. Service was also prompt and friendly. My only issue with this place is how bare bones the interior is and relatively unwelcoming the outside is. If this place got a modern interior and exterior facelift and pitched itself as a new/modern twist on uyghur food, it would be SWARMED with people (rightfully so, the food is outstanding). If you guys get that right, you have a winner here. 1000% coming back regardless of the decor. read more

Fantastic halal Chinese restaurant in downtown. We've been there several times and I can finally get to leaving a review. I'm told by my Chinese wife this restaurant serves somewhat fusion food rather than authentic northeastern Chinese food but I still think it's worth visiting to satisfy your Chinese food cravings or to diversify your list of ethnic restaurants you like visiting in NY. We had oxtail soup, lamb meatballs winter melon soup and sizzling rice with beef. Winter melon soup was a bit too spicy for us but all the food was awesome. The atmosphere was very nice and the waiter was also very attentive despite the restaurant being relatively full. read more

I enjoyed the food with my girlfriend and shared both dish which made her and I full. I believe the chicken comes with free white rice just ask to double check. The place quality of floor and tables was neat and clean which I assume prices were going to be higher than I paid. $22 for chicken, $44.64 total read more

This a great spot for authentic Northeast Chinese cuisine. The noodles are fresh, the sauce was full of cumin and chili. They also other great options on the menu including "dough with tomatoes" - a dish often eaten by monks in rhe Qinghai province of China. The space is spacious and low-key, a nice place relax and unwind. A great spot in the St. Marks Place area. I've travelled to China 28 times and have been to this region twice in rhe late 90s. Everyone deserves to experience another delicious cuisine in the Chinese culinary landscape. This place is Halal-friendly as well. read more

Absolutely love Uyghur cuisine! my new favorite in NYC. We got the fried lamb with cumin powder. My first time ever having deep fried lamb but wow the hot sauce it came with was superb. We also got the BBQ lamb ribs which was dripping with fat. I mean a lot of fat. The baked lamb bun was ok, I've had better. Bok Choi is a delicious garlicky must. My favorite dish was the sautéed noodles with lamb in cumin flavor. This can easily replace Xian Famous Foods hand pulled noodles for me as a halal alternative. I wish they had cumin lamb skewers. Used to have these all the time in China and I miss em! Also wish there was more obvious halal branding. read more

Really flavorful dishes, a lot more lamb than the regular chinese restaurant - so i think it is their speciality. Our waiter was really nice in helping our group choose a variety of their best dishes - and we got a mix of lamb dumplings, lamb stir fry, beef noodles, and a mushroom salad. The meat in all dishes were tender, juicy, and well-seasoned. The AC here was extremely cold though, something to keep in mind. Good value for a solid meal. read more

Me and my friend came when this restaurant had their soft opening. They offered 15% off the total bill. I loved their original location at Jiang Diner and loved it here. The portions are massive, the food is hearty and delicious. The bbq lamb was phenomenal. The cumin rub on top was so tasty. I love the restaurant and look forward to be being back. I can't wait to try more of the menu. read more

The food was decent We ordered the Big Plate Chicken and Lamb dumplings. Portions were surprisingly generous. I was afraid this wouldn't be enough food for two- but we were surprisingly full at the end. The Big Plate Chicken was pretty saucy and salty. We got the bone in and while some pieces were tender, we found a lot of the meat a bit tough. The noodles that came with it were also not very chewy and fell a little soggy. More noodles also would have been nice to balance out the sauciness. The skin of the lamb dumplings were delicious- very chewy and perfectly thin. The filling was also pretty good but also found it to be a bit salty. I also wished it was a bit more flavorful. Still a pretty decent meal all things considered and service was very nice! read more

Jiang's Kitchen - Chinese Near Me - New York, New York

We were hungry and in the neighborhood when we saw Jiang's Kitchen and their soft opening sign in the window. (They are running a little promotion right now until before Thanksgiving.) After a quick glance at the menu, we were excited to go in and honestly a really amazing meal. The interior is deceptively spacious for a spot you could easily miss if you walked past with plenty of seating inside and modern but cozy. The menu isn't terribly long but we still had trouble narrowing it down to what we wanted to try this first visit. The three of us ended up getting: + Hot & sour cucumber - we were actually a little surprised by how much we loved this? I love Chinese cucumber appetizers and make a version at home all the time, but this one had such an incredible sauce, not too spicy, not too sour, a little bit sweet, a wee bit of savory to really pump up the flavor. Don't sleep on this one, it's so refreshing and good! (It was one person's favorite thing we ordered!) + Big plate chicken - got the smaller size, which is a HEFTY portion for one person, and it is a generous amount of incredibly succulent and juicy chicken and some veg (potatoes, bell peppers) coated in a savory sauce served over some wide noodles that looked hand-cut? Really tasty, if a tiny bit saltier than I was expecting, but super tasty and really satisfying. I'd definitely recommend getting the large if you have someone to share with, and the boneless comes at an extra charge but is very convenient for just shoveling into your mouth + Hand-rolled noodles with the tomato sauce and lamb, medium spice - please note these are hand-ROLLED and not hand-pulled, which means the form factor for these are individual pieces that are rolled, so more like a shorter pasta than a long noodle. I really love hand-rolled noodles because they hold a lot of sauce the middle, and the tomato sauce was my personal favorite of the ones we tried. For folks familiar with Chinese tomato dishes (like tomato with egg), this is a familiar flavor that was still surprising for us because it had more depth than the simple tomato-egg flavor while still retaining that very tomato-y flavor and the freshness of it. I liked that it was a bit sweet and very umami and this is kind of my favorite sauce right now~ + Rice noodles with spicy minced beef sauce and beef, medium spice - admittedly, there was not as much beef in this as we would have liked but the sauce was still (chef's kiss). This one will feel more familiar for folks who haven't had much northwestern Chinese food and will not disappoint Our server was also very kind and attentive, bringing us new water bottles before we even poured the last cup from our old one. We're really really excited to come back! Congrats on the opening! read more

Large portions, flavorful good and amazing service. Make sure you make reservations for big groups.

Super underrated halal Chinese spot! They specialize in northern Chinese cuisine and have something for everyone. The restaurant itself, though located in East Village, is quite spacious and would be good for large groups. It also usually isn't too crowded and is easy to get a spot last minute. All the staff is very nice. Our favorite things to order: Appetizers: BBQ skewers - both beef & chicken - we tried the chicken for the first time during our last visit and I actually preferred it to the beef! Beef dumplings - sometimes a hit or miss, we don't get these every time but will if we're craving dumplings Beef wonton in sour soup - w got this last time and really enjoyed it! The soup is sour, tangy, and very vinegar-y so just be prepared for that but the wontons/dumplings with the soup make for a great combo! Entrees: Sizzling cumin lamb - This is actually listed as an appetizer but it's perfect to share for 2. I seriously crave these some days! That perfect season, delicious sauce/marinade, served with rice. Noodles in traditional sauce with beef or chicken - we usually get it with rice noodles - the noodles and sauce are addictive! I will admit that it's slightly on the pricey side but I do think that it's a very unique halal option and in the city which somewhat justifies it! The restaurant itself is also very clean, they have prayer mats in a small corner in the back where we were able to pray, and the bathrooms are clean as well. They also have hotpot that I've heard is delicious and can't wait to come back to try!! Definitely recommend if you're looking to stay in or visit the city and need a good halal option for dinner! read more

If you are looking for a cozy dining experience in the east village, you should check out this place. It has a warm and welcoming atmosphere to it that you don't find a lot in other places. I ordered the cumin beef and rice, and it was amazing. The beef was tender and flavorful, and the rice was perfectly cooked and the dish had a good amount of vegetables in it. You could literally smell and taste the cumin in the dish The service was also excellent. The food came out quickly, and the waiters were friendly and attentive. They made sure we had everything we needed. read more

Jiang's Kitchen - Stewed Lamb Ribs - Chinese Near Me - New York, New York

Restaurant week is back in NYC! Pretty solid food. Love the stewed lamb ribs and chicken plate. The meat in both dishes are tender, juicy, and well-seasoned. But, the potato in the chicken dish is a little undercooked. The soup dumpling and the baked lamb bun are kinda disappointed. The skin of soup dumpling is a little dry, also don't really like their sauce as it is a little too sour. Cucumber and wood ear mushroom in chilli oil are okay. Price is probably the cheapest among all the restaurants that participate in restaurant week - $29 for dinner/person. read more

Wow. The food here is amazing! I tried the wood ear mushroom with black vinegar, the lamb shui mai, the sizzling cumin rice with lamb, and the hand rolled wheaten noodles with tomato sauce and vegetables. The lamb dumplings were my favorite, I've never had a dumpling that juicy and savory, honestly amazing. The hand rolled noodles were chewy and the sauce was addictive and coated everything. The vegetables provided a nice crunch to the dish. Honestly everything was so good I can't wait to come back and eat the rest of the menu & it's halal! read more

Jiang's Kitchen - Lam Steamed Shumai (Lamb or Beef) - lamb - Chinese Near Me - New York, New York

Jiang's Diner is back and it's back as Jiang's Kitchen! I'm so glad this spot is back. When I visited their previous location I absolutely love the CUISINE and was so happy to see traditional Xinjiang cuisine that was Halal! Food: The food here is seasoned with traditional cumin seasoning so expect it to be a little bit more on the salty side and it's super savory. I love their sizzling rice with cumin flavor and I get it with lamb but I'm sure it will taste just as good with chicken too (have yet to try that!) The steamed beef shumai is excellent and I always start off my meal with that. I was particularly blown away by the lamb ribs barbecue which is a very big portion of lamb ribs seasoned with cumin and it comes with a side of bread and extra seasoning. It was so juicy, tender, flavorful and a really good option for large groups. Service: The food comes out fairly quickly and the servers are really on top of your meals and are super kind in suggesting items and explaining the menu for those who aren't familiar with the cuisine! Ambiance: There's a decent amount of seating so large groups are definitely able to come and dine here. I also noticed that it was very clean which is obviously a major plus! Can't wait to come back for more! read more

This place is awesome. We got the cumin beef and the sliced dough with lamb and tomato, and they are both amazing. It's very much in line with Uyghur food, combining the best of North Indian, Persian, and Sichuan and Xian cuisines The sliced dough is basically flat noodles/dumplings. Music is great, late 00s early 10s pop. When you pay, you have to go up to the counter, they don't bring the check. read more

The ambience/ the set up is nice. The waiter was polite and inattentive to me the patron. I understand they had a large take out order he should have expressed that before l placed an order to dine in. The General Tsoi Chicken l ordered was absolutely disgusting and not worth 20.00. Some portion cuts of white meat and dark meat. I was given three stalks of broccoli and some water. I was so disgusted. I lost my appetite in the midst of the disgust. I could've received better at No Potk on My Fork in Brooklyn. Sorry but l must tell the truth. The waiter said a tip at the time of departure. A tip. He was not going to allow me to leave without asking for a tip. Really. I said nothing and gave a tip. I was the only person there in the restaurant. I don't know. l am just disappointed. I would kindly like to be refunded but it was a lesson learned. I must continue to patronize eateries l know where the food will be succulent and worth my hard earned money. Perhaps the big order got in the way of my having a good afternoon meal. read more
