I stopped by for an early dinner with friends. The restaurant ambiance was casual with lots of seating. Plenty of parking in the lot. The pro was the food. They have a wide variety of entree items including beef, lamb, chicken, seafood, and vegetable options. Our food was cooked well, steamy hot, fresh, and tasty. We ate everything and nothing was leftover ;) The main issue was the customer service. The environment seemed cold and unwelcoming. We were barely greeted upon arrival. When we left, nobody thanked us for coming. Despite the restaurant being empty, we had to constantly flag down the waitress for things like water and napkins. A restaurant's reputation is both about food quality and service in my opinion. The food is wonderful. If they can work on their customer service, it has the potential to be an amazing restaurant. read more

Food was great,tastes good. The service was good as well. The wait time was horrible.The told us at the beginning that it will take them 20 min to serve food but we waited 1 hour and 50 min to get food. They should not have tell us that it will take them 20 min if they cant do it. 6 other tables who came after us got their food sooner read more

The food is absolutely incredible here. Every dish is cooked with love and to perfection. Every time I bring their dumplings to a party, I get rave reviews. Even better, the staff are kind and attentive. Every visit brings such joy. The ambiance is full of their beautiful culture, which comes out in the elegance of their food. read more

This is my family's favorite authentic Uyghur Chinese restaurant. Everything is halal. They have the best orange chicken that I've ever had. Their black pepper beef is also another favorite of ours. Everything that we've tried here has been delicious and consistent in quality. They have a prayer spot in the restaurant as well, which as Muslims, we appreciate. MashAllah BarakAllah. We drive over an hour just to satisfy our cravings for their food. Thank you, Omar's Kitchen team. read more

Sensational! Everything at Taibat is unbelievably delicious &&& it's halal. I grabbed takeout a few times while in the general area, but it is a restaurant with plenty of seating for smaller & larger sized parties if you wanted to dine-in. Very well-kept, friendly staff, & the prices are fair for the quality of food. read more

We came early one evening, and to my surprise our party of 12 was served and finished eating within one hour! I've never had such fast service at a Chinese restaurant. The chicken dishes were the best. The beef was okay and the rice wasn't as exciting as other halal Chinese rice places. read more

The Mrs. and I had lunch yesterday at Omar's Kitchen. It has been on her Yelpdar for a while. The Mrs. is very familiar with the Uyghurs. I had never heard of them or their food until yesterday. From the brief research I didi after dining at Omar's, I learned that the Uyghur people are a Turkic ethnic group originating from and culturally affiliated with the general region of Central and East Asia and are recognized as native to the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region in Northwest China. The Chinese government recognizes the Uyghurs as a regional minority and the titular people of Xinjiang. I won't go any farther in my explanation at this point for particular reasons. Because of the large Muslim population in the Uyghur community, the cuisine is predominantly halal. In reading the menu, you can see the influence of both the Chinese and Muslim cultures. Omar's menu has some of the Chinese favorites we know and love such as Beef and Broccoli and Kung Pao Chicken. We opted for the lunch special which is only served Monday through Friday. You get to choose a main dish that is accompanied by soup, a spring roll, and steamed rice. the price range is $11.99 to $13.99 depending on the entree you choose. I chose the Mongolian Beef which was really good. I've had it at other places and the sauce tends to be super sweet, but not Omar's. The beef was flavorful and the sauce was more tangy than sweet. The Chicken Cream Corn Soup was really good as well. The Mrs. ordered the Orange Chicken which was really good as well. It is one of those dishes that every Chinese restaurant does differently. We also ordered the Lamb Pot Stickers which, in my view, are a MUST if you dine at Omar's. read more

Wow! How did I not discover this place sooner? So good that I came back 2 days later because I just couldn't get enough (lamb dumplings, I'm looking at you, don't mind my puddle of drool here as I type). Authentic ethnic Uyghur food, mouth-watering lamb (which other reviewers mentioned is halal), and legit home made noodles that gives a whole new definition to al dente. No, it's not undercooked like how some *ahem* try to make noodles al dente - you can tell that their noodle cook is a MASTER that you would typically find in some hole in the wall in Asia. This is your neighborhood joint featuring that friendly uncle who chats asking how your family is doing and plays what you want to watch on TV and then leaves you in peace to eat, not your upscale American restaurant with waiters cycling to fill your water with sparkling or still. I was really tempted to keep this place my dirty little secret, but it's too good not to share with my fellow foodies. Cuz you know they don't call it *cumin* lamb for nothing... =P read more

I can't gush enough about how great the food is at Omar's Kitchen now called Taibat Restaurant. The food is fresh and delicious. The restaurant is clean and the ambiance is classically Uyghur. Try anything on the menu. My favorites are vegetable lo menu, honey walnut shrimp, and sautéed broccoli. I would show you pictures, but I ate the evidence. read more

Service was good. Workers were nice. Food was okay over all. Something I noticed upfront was that food was not heated well. I feel they could do better. The location is prime since we don't have any halal uyghur restaurant close by around that area. read more

The best Uyghur restaurant ever!! My family and I love this place, especially the big plate chicken and the veggies are amazing as well. Make sure to try the lamb kababs and the hand pulled noodles too, they're amazing!! The portions are affordable and generous read more

I truly mean this from the heart, when I say that my favorite restaurant in the whole wide world is Omar's Kitchen . I have been to countless restaurants, dined various concepts, and experienced alot, but nothing quite on the same level as Omar's. Omar's is real. The food is great, the meats very tender, and it is made very mindfully by people who care , but so are many other restaurants. What makes Omar's the best In my book is the husband wife duo that hold the fort down, and of course there young daughter, who you who can often run into there, sitting off to the side working on homework or keeping herself busy; Now this is a family unit, and key part of what makes Omar's a very special place. I have been here many times , and have never seen both of them absent at the same time. Day in and day this dynamic duo is there, with a warm smile on the face, ready to help, no matter how rude the customers are, or how big the rush is they over come it together. This is very admirable. They are very kind, knowledge, and genuine. This family is the embodiment of the American dream. A product of of immigrants who come to this country with not alot and really make something out of nothing . They show anything is possible with hard work and strong family values. I am so proud to be witness on this journey. I was there when it was a dinky little shop, and saw them grow Omar's into the larger restaurant it is now, and hope to be apart of the evolution to what it will mold into in the future. On the surface it may appear to be just a restaurant, but the devil is in details, to me it is so much more -It is real. Realness is something you find seldom these days in the jungle of corporate , cash grab , or stupidly "elevated" dining concepts. This is a diamond in the rough. I have been coming to Omar's Kitchen for over 6 years and,God willing, plan to come back as long as Omar's is open for service. Omar's Kitchen is my favorite. read more

My family and I we went to dinner today to eat uyghur lagman. It was delicious!!!

Taibat - Inside of restaurant - Halal Near Me - Artesia, California

THIS IS A LITERAL HIDDEN GEM in Artesia! If you've ever wanted to try Chinese and Halal food, this is where you should go. I was recommended this place by a friend, and I'm so glad I finally decided to check it out. I love that it is a family owned restaurant also because the owners are friendly and sweet. FOOD:   BIG PLATE CHICKEN WITH HAND PULLED NOODLES - This dish is practically gargantuan! It's so big it could probably feed 4 people. I would recommend ordering an appetizer, or not going here if you're starving. The dish itself takes 30-40 minutes to make upon ordering. However, it was so yummy that it was worth the wait. My boyfriend and I had ordered this dish and could not finish it all. Everything was delicious. The dish has red peppers, potatoes, chicken, hand pulled noodles, and other delicious ingredients. AMBIANCE: This family owned restaurant does provide outdoor seating and does wear masks, as well, during this unprecedented times. They do have a bigger space inside, so when things start to open up again, there should be no problem with wait times since there is a lot of space. LOCATION: This restaurant is located in a plaza along with other restaurants and stores. As we were waiting for our food to be freshly made, my boyfriend walked around and even went to the CVS across the street to kill time. PARKING: Parking is free, since it's situated in a little plaza area. Thank goodness! read more

Taibat - Big Chicken Plate with hand pulled noodles @PLVTINUMCHANEL - Halal Near Me - Artesia, California

We were craving some hand pulled noodles, as we had some tasty ones from our recent trip to NYC. Found this restaurant that had it, so we drove here after our day outing to Disneyland. We ordered: 1) Lamb kebab skewers $10.99 - 3.5 stars; husband and I thought these were good, we we've had better seasoned ones at other restaurants before, felt like this one could have been seasoned more. 2) Big chicken plate with handmade noodles - $25.99; this was definitely delicious, and loved the chewy texture of the flat noodles. The chicken and potatoes were great as well, and the entire plate was not that spicy. The portion size of the noodles was not enough for us, we we ordered additional noodles. 3) Extra handmade noodles at $5 extra per order; perhaps we got a bit carried away since we had to take some of the extra noodles we ordered home with us in a to-go container. 4) Baklava (pistachio) $1.79 per piece - sweet and divine; they did a great job making this dessert. 5) Can of Sprite - husband had to quench his thirst. Overall, we are impressed w/ the food here and would be willing to come back again if we are ever in the mood for hand pulled / handmade noodles from scratch! read more

Says they have a lunch buffet themselves on here wasted my time going and guess what? No buffet at all. Waste of time

Beautifully remodeled. Omar and his wife still run the show behind doors and I believe they have a new partner who manages the customers. I HATED that they now have alcohol. ‍ The food was good and fresh as it always has been and the service was slow as it always has been(fresh food takes time and I think coming here we all know it's going to take a while but it's because they're literally making the food not just defrosting). Love the new ambiance and look of the place. It feels like they're a little flustered handling a bigger place with more traffic(the toilet paper was out, the service was slower than usual, they seemed a little all over the place). I hope they get a hang of it because the food is great, the location is awesome and it's the perfect alternative to Indian/Pakistani food after shopping in Artesia. read more

Wow. I was blown away by my visit here for dinner tonight. Everything was hot, fresh, and delicious. Upon entering, my party and I were a little skeptical because there were no customers in the restaurant at all. It was empty, but we decided to give it a try anyways. The yelp photos looked good, so I ordered the lamb kabobs, lamb potstickers, green onion pancake, mapo tofu, and eggplant basil. Be advised that the potstickers take about 15 min to cook, but it was sooo good! The prices are on the higher side for Chinese food but everything was worth the try. I highly recommend checking this place out. It's very similar to the food at Tasty Noodle on south street. This place is way better in my opinion. read more

OMG, they have been closed for more than half the year remodeling. So happy I've been religiously calling to see what the update is. Today is their grand opening 12/8/18 and I am super stoked to be here. I guess they didn't make an announcement so not many people know they are open. They definitely took their time doing the interior design and decoration. It looks like Aladdin's palace. We got to meet his wife and daughter. They are both super nice. It looks like the did an expansion on the existing menu and brought back the meat pie (yay). read more

Wonderful freshly made food. The customer service is great. It is important To keep in mind it is family owned but the food is so fresh and good. We visit a lot because it's tasty food and we don't feel horrible after. The ambiance is beautiful and they've clearly put so much effort into decorating it. We always go here when we visit from Northern California. Def better than the heavy halal Chinese food places there read more

Unique cuisine to me, but boy does it deliver! In our big group we had the opportunity to go deep into the menu. The lamb here is fresh and mild and super delicious. The dining room is fanciful with lights and bright colors. We were recently here with 4 generations and everyone enjoyed the meal. I give this place 5 stars because it has great food, nice atmosphere, and is a great representation of this fusion cuisine. read more

The food is Halal Chinese, similar to other Chinese food. I have known for many years of the persecution of the Muslim Chinese ethnic group known as the Uyghurs. They come from the province in the Northwest of China. The Owner "Omer" spent some time with us telling about his country and the language. Very interesting food and discussion. read more

I am absolutely so mad at myself for not coming here sooner. My mom's bank is in the same plaza and for years I've wondered about the food here and it was only recently that I came in because I was craving lamb. Omg - let's talk foodgasm. If you love lamb , you have to come here. Both of their lamb rib dishes are great - I am a bigger fan of the cumin and you have to try their big plate of chicken with flat noodles. Their lamb potstickers are a must try ... honestly everything is a must try. And the owner, friendliest man ever! He chatted with my fiance and me about his culture and food and it made a pleasant dinner. read more

Amazing food and service! Highly recommended feels like you're in another country! Place was really great! Highly recommended!

The Ambiance is nice. Well lit. Decorative. We ordered the laghmah. The noodles were perfectly cooked al dente. The sauce was so flavorful without being hot spicy. The orange chicken was the best I've ever had. Crispy, juicy, and perfect sauce. The lamb with green onions was great. The lamb was soft and the green onions accented it nicely. Just amazing food. Cannot recommend enough. read more

I recently visited Omar's Kitchen for the first and the last time. The quality of food is okay, 7 out of 10. Portions are small for the price. The 3-flavor rice was horrible and small quantity, we had to order plain rice to make up for the small quantity. For around $100, we got small portions of Black Pepper Beef, Shredded Beef with Spicy Sauce, Orange Chicken, 3-flavor Rice, and Hot and Sour Soup. read more

Your basic Chinese Muslim food located in the heart of Cerritos International Quarter. Restaurant is good sized and decor is interesting: A combination of Turkish, Indian and Chinese. Suggestion is order the Uyghur dishes from the northern province of Xinjiang, rather than Chinese American dishes. Came with a group of 8 hungry foodies. Ordered: 2 types dumplings, lamb and chicken, Meat pie, onion pancake, Turkish lamb kebabs, Lamb Shank, and others. My favorite had to be the dumplings and Big Chicken plate. Both were excellent. At end of the meal, got to chat with the Chef. He explained, the history of the food and influences in making Uyghur food. read more

You may not think much of this unassuming looking storefront at a strip mall in Artesia, but you would be well advised to go inside. If you are a fan of high-quality Chinese food, look no further than this. While a lot of casual Chinese places have a reputation for MSG and bottom of the barrel ingredients and razor thin profit margins, this is not that place. The owner and his wife are devout Muslims from the xinjiang province. The recipes reflect that unique heritage and have a distinctly middle Eastern feel. The food is freshly cooked by omer himself and his wife often works and waits on tables. They have traditional decorations from their province. it really is a gym of a place that captures a unique cultural niche (sadly one that is under threat of extinction) and it is well worth experiencing. Ingredients are always fresh, as they use halal meat and food is freshly prepared. Honestly, do yourself a favor and give them a try. read more

Very poor service. We ordered water and we only got 2 uneven glasses . We literally had to ask for the rest of the water. We ordered green tea and it never came. Hot water and tea bag Come on. Food was average however one plate took an 40 min to come. We waited an hour for another plate and finally the waiter comes saying oh um we are out of the vegetables for the plate I forgot to tell you. Seriously we waited an hour for you to come and tell us you forgot that you ate out of the food. We ordered another plate instead and we had to cancel it because it took so long. So my sister had to go without her plates because BOTH took more than an hour. The waiter doesn't do anything she just says sorry not even a good apology or excuse for this terrible service. The least they could do is give us a discount or a free small desert. read more

Great food and service. Got the lamb pot stickers which I think are home made and were really good. Lamb skewers were also really good.
