I saw Kashgar Grill open several months ago, but wanted to wait (like I usually do) before I try it out. After they've been open for about 3 months, it's time to go check it out. The menu isn't really self explanatory even though it is written in both English and Chinese characters. After a few minutes, we ask our server for help. After dabbling in English, I realize we were going nowhere, so I ask if he speaks Mandarin. He did! After that, it was easy to get some recommendations and go from there. Have been here several times now and the cumin lamb (Fried Lamb Slice on the menu) is absolutely fantastic. We also loved the hand pulled noodles which are the best I've eaten in quite some time. The Noodles with Fried Meat are hand pulled noodles topped with stir fried lamb and vegetables. The texture of the noodles are insane!! The menu is still kind of limited, and the pricing seems discombobulated -- some dishes are overly pricey while others are right on point. I hope they find the balance soon. However, the man who runs this place is super sweet and he informs me he's working on a lunch menu, so I'm looking forward to that. We have had great experiences so we'll definitely be back!!

Food is pretty good, I like it
Atmosphere (0) It was opening weekend when we went, so it was crowded and felt relatively small. We were seated outside, which wasn't a problem, though heat lamps would have been nice. Service (1) Friendly and quick. Though we were seated outside, it didn't feel like they took very long to bring us our food, and their waiters came out often so we didn't feel like an afterthought, which was good. Food: Taste (1) I can't compare this food to any other Uyghur cuisine - it's my first time. It's similar to Szechuan and Mongolian (spicy, with emphasis on mutton), and is primarily spicy and salty. The lamb kebabs were the best entree that we had - well seasoned, tender, and fun to eat, and possibly the best priced item that we had (2 for 7). We also had Hand Pulled Noodles (16) and Uyghur Rice (16) which were decent - the rice does something special where they included stewed carrots into the dish, which felt unusual and pleasant. Food: Portions / Price (-1) The Kebabs are the best value, hands down. You get two skewers of treasures at about 3.50 a piece, and though the portion isn't huge, I think it makes up for in quality. The Rice and Noodles were very small for 16 each. Also, for claiming to have meat in the dish, our rice only had 3 bite-sized pieces of beef, which was very disappointing. All considered, they had a large chicken/potato dish that seemed to be much greater in portion, so we will be back to try at least that.
No beef options, no water given, and chicken dish had too many bones not enough meat and not enough flavor. Although the noodles and sauce in our dish were good. Not enough noodles in the dish.
Authentic Uygur restaurant, nice and clean environment with plenty of sitting. They have hand made noodles mixed with beef or chicken and blended with nice herbs and spices giving very different and a little bit of spicy taste. They also have different fried rice plates. I would recommend trying it out if would like to eat something out of ordinary from time to time, like me:) first time here but will definitely come back to try different dishes.
I like to venture in cuisines I haven't tried before. This place gave an interesting experience, one I reason is authentic to the food of Uyghur, western China. I won't be revisiting, though. -No vegetarian entrees -Too salty -Smelled of cigarette smoke coming from outside -Menu lacked good English translation That this restaurant replaced Pho Factory several months ago perhaps worsens my take on it. Pho Factory was one of my favorite restaurants--fresh, healthy Vietnamese cuisine with plenty of vegetarian and pescetarian options, sweet teas, and desserts--the opposite of what Kashgar Grill has to offer.
