Uyghur Goshnaan
Thuy Dan T.

Finally made it to Dolan's! A homey experience with friendly staff! My first time trying Uyghur cuisine and likely won't be my last! For the two of us, we ordered 3 of their most popular items. + Big Plate Chicken - the small is BIG haha. We chose the bone-in and the chicken was juicy. It is a very savory flavor so the handmade noodles are a must (I wish there was more). + Lamb Kebabs - the menu says a minimum order 3, but they were kind enough to just let us get 2. A large stick, and very lightly seasoned but cooked well. + Uyghur Goshnaan - My favorite dish, like a meat pie. The crust was flakey and the inside meat was juicy and flavorful.

Dolan is a good choice for lunch or dinner. Their menu features beef, lamb, chicken and vegetarian dishes. I liked the decor with art displayed throughout the main dining room. It gives the restaurant a classy look. The table and chairs were made of mahogany, they use linen tablecloths which is an added touch of elegance. I ordered the beef hand-pulled noodles, which was flavorful and had a spicy kick. It was delicious and filling. I was dining solo, but recommend coming with a group to try a variety of food. I really was interested in the Kebab and soups, but it was too much food for one person. The entree prices range from $15 to $20 for lunch and $30-50 for dinner. You can pre-order meals on their website for quick pickup or delivery service. They also have a nice patio dining area and a private parking lot in the back. Sincerely, Rosemary

Lamb skewers

Ambiance is unique and authentic feel. Clean and nice layout Service is great, and I like the tea pot set! Food was ok to me, not as strong flavor as I expected, it might be adjusted to fits the taste of American for sure! I nit sure if it's because we didn't ordered right stuff, lamb skewers, 手抓饭(Pilaf), big plate Chicken fried noodle

Samsa

Love the deep, rich flavors at this place. it really sparked my interest in learning more about Uyghur culture. We came with a large group, and the waiter was attentive and provided quick service. Fried Naan with Beef - Crispy naan topped with beef, onions, and cumin. It was a bit oily and felt more like a side dish, but extremely tasty. The onions and crumbs paired especially well with rice. 8/10 Large Big Plate Chicken - Our server recommended ordering the large size for the group. It was just OK. The flavors were lacking compared to the other dishes, the chicken wasn't as juicy or tender as I hoped, and it came with thick flat noodles and quite a lot of potatoes. 7/10 Lamb Kebabs - Tender, flavorful lamb served on hot skewers. Simple and delicious. 10/10 Uyghur Polo with Lamb - A lighter rice dish that was still full of flavor. The rice paired beautifully with the lamb. 8/10 Samsas - Flaky pastries filled with beef. They reminded me of a mix between empanadas and samosas--very satisfying. 9/10 We also ordered the special tea served in a pot. It was very enjoyable and the perfect hot drink to balance out the heavier, richer dishes. Overall, a flavorful and memorable dining experience.

Traditional laghman

I liked it. Came in for dinner with a friend. Inside is bright and comfortable. Lightly decorated. Plenty of tables. Good for small groups. We got the traditional laghman noodles, gosh nan, and lamb kabobs. The kabobs were good. We liked the noodles and gosh nan, but we both agreed it could have used some extra spice for our taste. Would come back to try more. Service was good. Friendly staff. Small parking lot in back.

Such a charming and cozy place with great vibes from the decor to the music. Service was quick, friendly, and no nonsense. The food was the true star of the show. Every dish was on point and amazingly delicious. You must try the polo and the salted milk tea.

We came here because we enjoyed the Rowland Heights location and wanted to give the Alhambra one a try. First off, it's a simply beautiful restaurant, very stylish overall. In terms of service, it was just okay. We never had our water refilled, nor did we get any check-ins after the food was ordered and dropped off. The food itself was also just alright at best; it didn't hit the same as the other location. Here's what I tried: Fried Naan with Beef - Interesting dish, almost like a fried baguette loaded with cumin. The beef was good, but the flavors quickly became overbearing and too strong for my taste. Very carb-heavy. (3.5/5) Spicy Fried Rice Noodle - Looked great at first but also became overwhelming. The sauce was extremely salty, and I usually love salty food, but this was too much. The noodles themselves were good, though. (3.5/5) Lamb Kebab - My favorite dish of the night. I didn't love that you have to order a minimum of three skewers, but the flavor was great. Be warned: the metal skewers are hot. (4.5/5) Overall, we were disappointed with what we got. We paid $52 for what I'd consider pretty average-tasting food, and unfortunately, I don't think I'd come back, at least not to this location.

Some of the best quality noodles in SGV can be found here. The big plate chicken dish here is just decent as the chicken was okay, sauce was okay, and the potatoes didn't have that stir-fried flavor and I've had better renditions of this dish in Chinatown Manhattan/Flushing. However, the wide firm noodles in this had the perfect texture and are some of the best noodles I've ever had. I also loved the noodles in the Special Laghman Noodles and the flavor in this reminded me of that of a liang pi dish. The lamb kebabs here are decent but don't beat the ones at some of the kebab-focused restaurants in LA.

Plain Rice ($2.75)

Visited: December 2025. Monday ~6:30pm. Setting: Spacious. Traditional decor and looks classier than your average restaurant. The tables are covered with disposable paper to protect the cloth underneath. They play Uyghur music at a reasonable volume so you can still have a conversation while listening. Wait Time: None. A few tables were taken when I arrived, but I was seated immediately. Food/Drink: This was my first time trying Uyghur cuisine. I cheated by picking things sort of familiar to me. The portions were generous. - Mapo Tofu ($13.95): Served HOT and with the right amount of numbing spice. It was just what I expected! - Tomato Eggs Laghman ($14.95): My first time having laghman. It had quite a chewy texture which I grew to like. The tomato egg sauce was perfectly sweet and tangy and the tomato and egg pieces were conveniently cut into bite sizes. - Plain Rice ($2.75): A bowl of long-grain rice. Pretty big scoop! Service: Awesome! The waiter was so polite and quick despite being the only one manning the front. I noticed after ordering with him that you can also order by scanning a QR code. That might come in handy when it's crowded. Also, my 2 to-go containers toppled over in the car and not a drop of sauce spilled out. Nice and sturdy. Parking: There are parking lots to the left and right of the restaurant. There were ample spots in the bigger lot (left) at dinner time. Next Time: I'll come back to try the Shredded Potato and Samsa dishes.

I recently learned about an Uzbek restaurant. Apparently there are not many Uzbek cuisine we can find in California. Uyghur food is a fusion mixture of Turkey/Mainland Chinese cuisine. Restaurant has limited parking but plenty of free street parking. There is indoor/outdoor seating. Entire restaurant is ornately decorated in Uyghur pieces. I saw only male employees but I hear that women in this culture cannot speak up. Overall great service. Dinner also comes with complimentary middle eastern walnut desert bites. Food....Big plate chicken is a must try (we ordered 2) a dish marinated to the highest max with potatoes and veggies. This is everyone's favorite. -Uyghur Goshnaan is crispy outside and warm meat savory center. Very good as well -Dolan's special rose tea is a must try. -Manta- 6 Pieces Per Order. Delicious Steamed Dumplings filled with savory ground beef and onion. (this is a popular item). -Kebab noodle- Cold egg noodles paired with our special spicy dressing and beef kebab. Pretty carby if you like -2nd fav- Big plate chicken with extra fat noodles. All the best marinated spices and flavors with savory soft chicken.

Dolan's Uyghur Restaurant is such a charming spot -- quaint, cozy, and filled with cute decor that gives it a warm, welcoming feel. Parking is super easy with a lot available in the back, which is always a plus. We tried a variety of dishes, and overall the food was delicious. The lamb soup was a standout: incredibly flavorful yet still light, the kind of dish you could happily finish to the last drop. The Uyghur polo, a braised fried rice dish, was another hit -- rich, aromatic, and cooked perfectly. We also ordered the lamb and chicken kabobs. Both were tasty, though the lamb was just a bit on the dry side. The traditional Langhman hand-pulled noodles. were excellent -- chewy, springy, and packed with flavor. The Uyghur gooshnaan (a beef pie) was a little oily but still really enjoyable. Service was decent -- nothing exceptional, but attentive enough and friendly. Overall, Dolan's offers wonderful, flavorful dishes and a lovely atmosphere. Definitely worth a visit if you're craving delicious Uyghur cuisine!

Who knew this delicious food existed? We had the small version of the Big plate chicken and every piece of chicken was deeply flavorful. The surprising thing is I could not identify the spices at all. The broad noodle was delightfully springy. The next course was the Goshnaan which was a stuffed flat bread which was very crispy. The meat stuffing was super tasty. I loved the Uyghur salad. It was the most garlicky dressing I have ever had so be warned. The Uyghur Polo is a flavored rice with lamb paired very well with the salad. Come and give this food a try, you will love it. Play this game: take a friend there blindfolded and have s/he taste the food then ask the person to place the cuisine geographically. I bet they would not come close.

We've ordered take out a few times since Covid time and I really want to leave a good review since their food is very good. Especially the tiger salad, my family loves this dish because it is so refreshing and it's hard to find a good spicy salad anywhere else. But this time we found a big piece of broken plastic in the salad (see photo). Food safety is kind of our first concern, even before taste. So i doubt we'll be coming back.

Small chicken plate: was delicious! Perfect spice level

See all

Yes. 12

How many people does each outdoor table seat and about how many tables do they have? I might need a lot of tables for a large group.

Same owners as Omars on new? Very similar menu, looks great nonetheless!

Different owners. I went once to Dolans and very good food and service. We will be back

Is this eatery own by an irishman?

This is probably my favorite question of any restaurant because of how bizarre it is.

Why is it called Dolan's?

It's a region name

Do you have white steamed rice?

The BEST Cantonese food in the SGV!! My family has been coming here for years and years and YEARRRS…read moreand the quality has never declined-- always great food and great service. And they even have private rooms for parties so we've done graduations and birthdays here as well. Their lunch special is 11-5 pm which is a super generous time frame, and it comes with soup and rice!! I wish I got a picture of the soup but it's not the kind of free soup that's just plain broth. Some days it's pork and lotus root soup, some days it's preserved veggie and pork bone etc... it's the type of soup that's homey and comforting and they boil it down so well where it's super sweet and nourishing. Do note that you have to dine-in to get soup because they don't include it in togo orders! As for their lunch specials... the quality and the price can't be beat!! Everything is $13 to $16 and it comes with generous portions with a good amount of meat. Some favorites: Pork belly with preserved vegetable ($15.99)-- Super melty, tender, braised well and the flavor seeps all the way in. The preserved vegetables are underneath on the bottom, so scoop it up and eat it with the pork belly .... Soooo good with rice!! Sweet and Sour Fish Filet ($14.99)-- It's coated in sweet and sour sauce but the outside is still a soft-crispy and inside is super tender. It's a family favorite everyone loves it! From kids to grandparents! Pork Rib with Spicy Salt ($13.99)-- SOOOO GOOD. Ok I know it doesn't look like much in the picture but just trust that this meat is super tender and soft. It's seasoned so well even though it looks plain.. the flavor is all on the inside. Braided Bean Curd with Abalone Sauce ($15.99)-- It's so simple but so good. Tofu, mushrooms, abalone sauce over rice?? Yes yes it's a classic for a reason Eggplant and Minced Pork with Garlic Sauce ($12.99)-- It's a classic dish but it's EXTRA good here!! It's not greasy and soaking in oil like some other places. The wok hei flavor is super prominent and it just tastes really good. We always order it when we come here. House Special Pork Ribs ($14.99)-- Sweet and sour baby pork ribs!! Another family favorite. The ribs are easy to eat and are never tough or chewy. Dry seafood chow mein ($14.99)-- Wok hei flavor through and through! Very generous amount of seafood. And where else can you order a seafood item for less than $20??? Geoduck (market price)-- It's definitely not an every day order but for a special occasion?? SOOOO GOOD. They do it sashimi style and everyone gets their own soy sauce and wasabi mini dipping plate. It's sweet, fresh, nice and chewy. They'll ask how you want the head done (fry or soup) and we got it fried. Roasted Duck and Golden Chicken-- I'm not well versed enough to compare this place to other places but it was good and we had no complaints! Pretty much can't go wrong. Taro Dessert ($17.99)-- Classic Cantonese dessert with taro paste, jujubes, gingko nuts, and Chinese white mushroom. It's hard to describe the taste but it's perfectly sweetened and is a nice dessert to close off the meal. Definitely 10/10 would recommend. Anyways my family is super loyal to this restaurant and we've never had a bad time so absolutely would recommend. It was kind of quiet last time I went so please I need them to stay in business or else where else am I supposed to get my canto food cravings fixed. Parking is easy since they have their own lot!!

For starters, my friend and I shared the xiao long bao, popcorn chicken, and beef rolls. Our first item, the popcorn chicken, was divine - medium and fried to perfection, couldn't ask for better! The xiao long bao was next on the list, and these featured a more thick but still chewy skin. Unfortunately, two of ours were served "stuck together" which led to them breaking - sad! The last item, the beef rolls, were amazing as well. Not only is it a timeless classic, but the beef wasn't too dry. Between these tasty bites, we also shared a honey lemon green tea. My friend warned me about these mug sizes, and yes... one is probably enough for a table of four to share! This drink was super sweet, and it was definitely in need of dilution to be drinkable. Once your belly is full, though, good luck getting out! The space inside is fairly tight but nonetheless well worth a visit! Easily one of the best popcorn chicken in town!

Chicken Fried Rice: It was soft and pillowy with great flavor, though I felt it could have used a bit more color. It looked a little pale, but it was still delicious. Shanghai-Style Chow Mein: This was perfect. The flavor was spot on, the sauce was well-balanced, and the noodles had the ideal texture. The ratio of noodles, vegetables, and meat was just right. Sweet and Sour Chicken: This was the highlight for me. My only regret is not ordering more to take home. The chicken was crispy without being overdone, and it was coated in that delicious sweet and sour sauce. Juicy Pork Dumplings: We were at a dumpling house, so we had to order dumplings. These did not disappoint. They were very flavorful, and the broth inside was rich and satisfying. We originally planned to order more dishes, but the portions were generous, and we ended up with just the right amount to leave satisfied. Overall, this place lives up to the hype.
