I'm delighted that I was one of the 19 lucky winners of their anniversary giveaway who won a $100 dining credit! I dined with my family and ordered: - Xinjiang Style Lamb Kebab x 4 - BBQ Beef Kabob (2) - BBQ Deep Fried Tofu Kabob - Deep Fried Jumbo Shrimps with Egg Yolk Sauce - Beef Noodle Soup (Braised) - Yang Chow Fried Rice - Eggs and Chives Pancakes (2) All the items and dishes were very flavourful and delicious! The lamb kebabs were so good that we had to order another round of them. We also tried the BBQ Enoki Mushroom and BBQ Eggplant, and they became our favourite dishes!

The manta were dumplings with flavourful lamb and onion filling. The dapanji was chicken and potatoes in a stew with chewy hand pulled noodles. I really enjoyed the texture of the noodles! The polo was a buttery lamb and carrot rice that came with sides of yogurt and chopped vegetables. The nan kawap was very flavourful cumin stir fried beef with onions and naan. I'd never had bread added to stir fry before and it went great! Everything came out quickly and the servers were friendly. It's a smaller restaurant so may be a good idea to call ahead on weekend evenings.

We visited this place for a quick family lunch and it turned into one of those "I need to come…read moreback" moments. I was a bit unsure at first since Uyghur cuisine isn't something you see every day around here, but everything was incredibly well balanced and approachable. The aroma, texture, and quality of the noodles were just outstanding. We shared the Lamb Kawap (lamb skewer with Uyghur seasoning), Kidney Kawap, and Uyghur Chicken. The skewers were absolutely mesmerizing. None of that strong lamb smell you'd find at many other places, just a clean, fragrant flavor with a softer finish. Perfectly grilled too. It was my first time trying kidney skewers, and the texture really surprised me--chewy, meaty, but not heavy at all, and with no trace of that distinct lamb scent. The Uyghur Chicken was another highlight. Well-seasoned, rich in flavor but not overly spicy, and the chicken was tender through and through. Having it with their hand-pulled noodles made the whole experience even better. The sauce was so good I kept dipping the bread into it nonstop. Honestly, this place hits all the right notes. Great flavors, comforting atmosphere, and real craftsmanship in every dish. Definitely coming back soon.

The restaurant was nicely decorated with Xinjiang style wool seat. We were provided QR code to place our order. The food was generally okay with some highlights and misses. My favorite dish was the fried rice with lamb leg. The rice was perfectly flavoured and the lamb leg was stewed super soft. The portion was decent too. We also enjoyed their yogurt with honey, raisins and sesame. We also ordered the medium size big plate chicken and the portion was decent. So was the flavour of the dish. The only dish we didn't like was their lamb skewers. We tried both spicy and non-spicy skewers. Both of them were flavorless. The skewers were super dry. Not good cuts of meat. Overall, the food was okay despite that the restaurant didn't provide much service. It costs about $40 per person for our lunch. I would like to revisit when I'm in the area again.

We visit often, so it's been worth it for us. It was quiet when we arrived, but started to pick up by the time we left. I'm usually cautious with lamb skewers because I don't enjoy that gamey taste, but these completely changed my mind. Well-seasoned, nicely charred, and surprisingly clean-tasting. The beef skewers were just as solid, with a good amount of juicy meat on each stick and seasoning that enhanced rather than masked the flavor. The squid tentacles were tender with a satisfying bite. The sweet and sour chicken had that ideal contrast, crispy and glossy on the outside, juicy on the inside. The beef and chives pancake was flaky, crispy, and packed with filling. Even better with a drizzle of their homemade chili oil (iykyk). The hand-pulled noodles in chili oil were a standout as well. Light but still flavorful, with a chewy texture that made every bite addictive.

Uyghur cuisine is known for its bold, savoury, well-seasoned dishes. Cumin, black pepper, and chili powder are signature flavours, so expect dishes to come with a deep, aromatic profile. (Source: Google ) The moment we walked in, the space already impressed me: bright, clean, spacious, and beautifully designed. Service was friendly. We ordered: * Eggplant * Manta * Lamb soup * Special Oguz Combo for 2 Everything came packed with spices and flavour. The lamb soup was warm, and comforting. They prepare lamb really well here and surprisingly light on the gamey flavour, leaving behind a clean, soothing broth that feels very nice on a cold day. The Special Oguz Combo for 2 was no joke. Honestly, it could feed four people easily. We ended up with plenty of leftovers, which made a yummy lunch the next day. As my first Uyghur cuisine experience, Oguz set the bar high. And thanks to them, I'm now excited to explore more Uyghur dishes and restaurants in the future.
