A neon-lit, laid-back Xinjiang joint in a historic former butcher shop, serving massive portions of hand-pulled noodles and grilled meats to a soft jazz soundtrack.
Ordering Strategy
Come with a group to tackle the giant sharing portions. Start with smashed cucumbers and multiple rounds of lamb skewers, then make the Da Pan Ji the centerpiece.
What to order
Cumin Lamb Skewers
Charred, perfectly caramelized, and heavily spiced with cumin—an essential and highly devourable staple.
Da Pan Ji (Big Plate Chicken)
A colossal, comforting stew loaded with chicken, potatoes, garlic, and miles of hand-pulled belt noodles.
Fried Beef Dumplings
Gingery and juicy beef parcels pan-fried with an impressive, delicate crispy skirt.

Good to know
Located in a Grade-II listed former Kennedy's sausage shop with retained vintage decor. Portions are huge, and they offer free noodle refills, making it exceptionally good value.
