    Stir-fried noodles and lamb dumplings
    Sarah A.

    Greatly enjoyed our pre-show dinner at Uyghur Noodle King in University City. Friendly service (though with only two servers, be sure to flex your flagging arm) and great food. The TV showed Uyghur food being prepared in the traditional manner in northwestern China, which was fascinating and informative. We tried the stir-fried noodles and lamb dumplings. The dipping sauce for the dumplings is nice and spicy. We asked for a ramekin of soy sauce and added a bit to both the noodles and the dipping sauce. Loved the hand-drawn noodles--perfect texture. We'll definitely return to try more offerings!

    Lamb kabob- worth it. Good spice and cooked well Big plate chicken- a classic! The noodles are on the bottom and sop up all the flavor. This dish as a touch of spice from the peppers but I wouldn't say it was spicy. Chicken was very tender Uyghur special polo- good but a bit oily. There's some base flavor in the rice so every bite is flavorful. I'd say if the carrots were a touch sweeter or larger pieces, I would've enjoyed it more Uyghur samsa- flaky exterior with a flavorful filling. I really liked this!! I feel like it would be a great grab and go item Cold bean jelly- mid. The sauce was tangy, salty, and a touch spicy, but it felt like none of it penetrated the jelly. There was exterior flavor but nothing else

    At first we tried going here one Saturday around 5pm. This was during Penn students' Winter break so we assumed it'll be okay. Unfortunately, there was only one worker running around and about 20 people were squeezed in the front waiting for the table. We gave up based on the condition. We decided to give it another try few weeks later, but on a weeknight around 5pm. We were able to get the table for 4 people, ordered various food (Uyghur special pilaf, carrot salad, stir fried noodle, big plate chicken, homemade dumplings, and Uyghur milk tea). Everything was good, but my favourite was the stir fried noodles. Carrot salad is a bit spicy, but good, and milk tea is savoury with salt in it. The service was very friendly and helpful. The employee explained when we came last time the owner was the only one serving and bussing. She apologized to us. There are other dishes I want to try so I definitely want to come back.

    Small but solid menu. The place was quite busy and still feels relatively new. You do not often see Uyghur food represented, so I was really excited to try it. The space is tastefully decorated and very clean. I ordered the Uyghur milk tea and the lamb soup, and my friend got the chicken skewers. Unfortunately, possibly due to the weather or how busy it was, everything came out lukewarm. Nothing was hot, which was disappointing. That said, the flavors were really good. The lamb soup was extremely generous with the meat. Huge bones that honestly made an impact. It felt like a tomahawk steak in soup form and was very well priced for how much you get. The broth was rich, deep, and clearly slow-simmered. You could taste the collagen and marrow, with a comforting, savory base balanced by light sweetness from the dates and goji berries. It truly tasted like real bone broth. If it had come out hot, it would have been perfect. The Uyghur milk tea was excellent. It is not your standard sweet milk tea. It is slightly salty, creamy, and very comforting. It comes in a plain bowl, so do not be fooled by how simple it looks. The flavor is anything but plain. Service was the only downside, though it is hard to fully blame them since they seemed short staffed. I did notice other tables getting water while we did not, possibly because we ordered soup and milk tea. We did ask for it eventually. I also wish the milk tea came with a spoon instead of having to drink directly from the bowl. We ended up using our soup spoons, which was fine. Overall, the food itself was strong. It feels like a place that will only get better with time once they fully get their rhythm. I would definitely come back, especially hoping everything comes out hot next time.

    Was invited to this new gem in philly. Was surprised by the atmosphere. Very fresh and clean. We were seated by our waiter and asked what is the best food here. He started with the dumplings, the meat bread and then came out main dishes. It was delicious. First time at an Uyghur place and will come back.

    Service was quick, staff was nice, interior was clean and comfortable! Came to check out this restaurant during its soft opening. Food was great and the price point was decent. The lamb kebab was amazing! :)

    Tried it out for takeout for lunch. I tried the lamb skewers, big chicken dish and stir fry noodles. All 3 were tasty and definitely different tasting than other Chinese cuisines. I most liked the lamb skewers then the stir fry. Wasn't huge on the chicken although the small was still a big portion. Would like to return and try other dishes. I enjoyed the decor inside as well!

I do recommend making a reservation as they can be pretty slammed on Fridays/weekends. The Srirachi wings had a nice crunch to them while still keeping the chicken juicy inside. It would've been nice to have an even amount of wings to drumsticks though, as I like flats more, but thats just a personal preference. The crabmeat fried rice was amazing, a really good portion of chunks of crabmeat mixed in so each spoonful had some. The duck curry was a "Grandma's special" so a much bigger portion and cost - but reasonable. The duck wasnt dry and had a good flavor throughout, not relying on the curry to give taste. The curry also had a hint of sweetness to it which complements the greasiness of the duck. The papaya salad felt very refreshing - we got it at level one as to not overpower our taste buds with all the other food. I did get some chili pepper on the side to add in later. My one recommendation is having Thai peppers as an option instead of dried chili flakes. I much prefer the taste of fresh Thai pepper to add the extra heat. The mango sticky rice is always a favorite. The mango is soft and ripe, the right amount of sweetness. They also mix pandan in with the sticky rice for a more impactful umami (Im also a big advocate for pandan in desserts).

Once we arrived, it was super busy and it took a bit of time to get our orders in. We ordered a variety of dishes to try out, starting with the crispy chive cakes. I love chive cakes, but these were much softer than I anticipated. I still loved the flavor and dipping sauce. We also ordered a medium spicy papaya salad, but it didn't taste like ours had any spice at all which was a little disappointing. Then we tried the Khao soi, which was a gigantic portion and very delicious, I truly had no complaints there. Lastly, we had the chicken satay skewers, delicious especially with the two sauces they included with it, and their duck, an absolutely amazing and giant dish that was covered with a tangy and sweet sauce. Overall, we enjoyed the food a lot; the only reason I'm rating this lower was the service. Our bill had two extra dishes on it that we didn't order, making our total super high. We asked to have these removed, but then they told us that we had already ordered these dishes and that they were on the way. We clarified a second time that we didn't order these two dishes and then finally got the right receipt. Our server was sweet and apologized, but for their high menu prices, I wasn't too thrilled with this experience.
