Ordering Strategy

Bring a group to justify ordering the Big Plate Chicken (or Middle Plate); order 2-3 skewers per person and plenty of cold vegetable plates.

What to order

Safe first

Lamb Shish

The gateway drug to Xinjiang cuisine; fatty, cumin-heavy skewers that are universally adored.

Hungry

Big Plate Chicken

A legendary, table-sized stew of bone-in chicken and potatoes served with chewy belt noodles. Essential for groups.

Wildcard

Home Style Cabbage

A hot and sour vinegar stir-fry that consistently surprises diners with its punchy flavour.

What to skip

Skip
Double Cooked PorkCritics suggest skipping the Sichuan-style dishes to focus strictly on the Xinjiang specialities.
