Just came here for the first time and had the Laghman. It was very good and was spicy to an extent that was enjoyable. I had the less spice option and I think if I chose the full spice it wouldn't have been enjoyable. read more

Lamb is so crispy and juicy and well seasoned one of the best i had!!! Eggplant is also refreshing

I'm so exited to discover this Uyghur restaurant! Everything tasted great and our waiter Noe was super friendly and helpful. If you love XinJiang food this is a must try. We ordered Crispy Golden lamb: Juicy and flavorful, pairs well with the dry seasoning Samsa (baked buns): These are the highlight of the meal in my opinion, the meat was super juicy, and even the wrappers have a lot of flavors in them 6-hr braised lamb shank pilaf: The rice has sweet potatoes it it, love it! Lamb wraps: very tasty, the meat was soft, even the veggies had an umami flavor. Highly recommended Uyghur special milk tea: salty, sweet and cream, must try! Mango yogurt sticky rice: decent read more

I got the beef noodles soup and the broth was very watery, there was not much flavor to it and it didn't taste like anything special to me even though it was on the pricier side. I asked them to remake it and it was slightly better, but I was still not satisfied and ended up eating only a little of it and taking the rest home. The naan, on the other hand, was really good and I would get it again next time! It was very flavorful and fills you up pretty nice for an appetizer. I also tried some bites of the other dishes my friends got and they were very good as well :) read more

I was excited to try this place, especially having great experience with Uyghur food previously. Was over in San Jose years ago and had Kusan Uyghur cuisine and i think there was a ghost kitchen version in SF during the pandemic. Had good experiences from those two spots, food was delicious and great portions to share. There are similarities between Uyghur and Middle Eastern cuisines, such as pita, pilaf, meats like lamb and chicken. Main difference is that i find uyghur food with more cumin seasoning, similar to the tastes of those northern chinese skewers places. However I didnt find much of the foods here flavored. I find myself eating for the sake of not wasting the ingredients. We had people in the group who can't do spicy, so had to order dishes that were non spiced. Holy hell, non spiced was equivalent to non seasoned. If your kidney had issues, you can eat here though. I should've known something was odd when the plaza is packed on a weekend but this place had no wait, maybe with 2-3 other tables occupied. I thought people were just scared to try the cuisine. Im beginning to think otherwise. Despite the food being subpar, the service was super attentive, felt more like a legit sit down, thats refreshing considered being at Milpitas Square. read more

4.5/5 stars! Such a unique cuisine you can't really find in the bay, and so glad I got to try! Central Asian cuisine with influences of Greek and Persian. Big Plate Chicken 9.5/10 Omg this portion was way bigger than I expected! Comes with chicken cooked similar to Chinese style, and it's so juicy and tender. It also comes with flat noodles at the bottom, and this was so good when soaking up all the chicken sauce. Plate looks small online but don't get that twisted it's a good plate to share with 2/3 people! Golden Crispy Roasted Lamb Rib 10/10 ya this was sooo delicious, we got some naan on the side to make a perfect bite with the lamb + sauce and omg that was so delectable. Their house chili oil was crispy and spicy, really paired well with their lamb Passion Fruit Yogurt Beverage 8/10 this was a good contrast to the richer foods we were eating, you could taste that punch of passion fruit and the yogurt was a bit sour and tangy like Vietnamese yogurt Overall, portions were good for the price and the cuisine was super unique as I've never had Uyghur fusion food! If you want to be adventurous and try different foods, definitely come check this restaurant out! read more

I really enjoyed my meal here. All the meats were so tender and delicious, with a lot of flavor. My favorite was a lamb tripe noodle dish - I don't think Ive ever had lamb tripe before this meal! The portions are not gigantic, but also not small. I left feeling satisfied but not super full. read more

minimal vibes inside kinda interesting I think we were only one of two tables during a weekday lunch lamb noodle soup - 7/10 not too lamb-y, surprisingly - very excessive onions tho imo beef & rice - 9/10 was v surprised at whatever the heck the rice was - kinda sweet bc it had raisins and apricots but it worked really well?? beef was soft but a little on the fatty side for me read more

Delicioso all around! Really enjoyed the cumin lamb noodles which was spicy and sweet (fav flavor combo ;) and the beef ribs because they were so tender/fall off the bone and that white yogurt sauce was delicious. Also got the samsa since it seems everyone gets it, and for good reason. Perfectly crispy, juicy, and tasty :)) read more

Everything was incredibly moist and flavorful. The big plate had a nice kick--spicy enough to be interesting, but not so much that it made me tear up. The pilaf was my favorite part, and I'll definitely keep coming back just for that. The samosa meat was also very moist and well-seasoned. The vibe is busy, but still quiet enough that I could comfortably hear the people around me without having to raise my voice. And the yogurt drink? Sooooo good--perfectly balanced and really tied the whole meal together. read more

Good restaurant. Pretty clean. Very spic for most. Like a jalapeno worth of spice. I wish they took the bone out of the big plate chicken. Or have chicken with bigger bones. Good flavors on the noodles and rice. The braised beef is fairly flavorless. It kind of tasted like pho meat, which isn't what I was going for. The spices on the table are honestly less spicy than the food itself. Service is bleh. Could be better. Kind of have to flag people down. read more

The ambiance in here is very nice and chilled, perfect for a relaxed dinner time. We ordered the chicken wraps and chicken plate. The chicken plate we ordered was really good.

The big plate chicken was REALLY good and the regular (smaller) portion was extremely filling. Great portions of both the chicken and the noodles, so I don't think you need the extra noodles. But I had this dish on my own, maybe if you're ordering it to share you could add the extra noodles. The chicken is really well cooked! It does take some time to come out (we had to wait around 20 minutes). We had also ordered the chicken skewer to share and it was nicely spiced (cumin based spice, as you see in Chinese bbq generally). One thing I'd say is that the dishes were quite oily, including the sliced beef with sauce as you see in the pictures. The big plate chicken also had a lot of oil in the soup. In hindsight, I'd probably mention less oil before ordering next time. read more

The Good - the service was great the waiter was attentive. The lamb inside the Laghman was delicious and the noodles were chewy. The restaurant looks great. The yoghurt tasted great. The Bad - Chicken wraps - were served room temp. The chicken tasted like they were days old. They had a tough texture and wasn't warm. The naan was also room temp. The beef noodle soup - was served at best warm. There was no steam coming from it when it arrived at the table. The radishes weren't cooked fully even though they are so thin. The portion is big because there was a bunch of noodles. The soup didn't have much flavor even the hot chili oil didn't help. Uyghur Special Milk Tea - is supposed to have a strong black tea flavor, but it ended up tasting only of cream and butter. It gave us a stomach ache. Laghman - was supposed to be spicy but it tasted sweet more then anything. Really wanted to like this place but the only reason it got another star is because of the service. read more

This was my first time having Uyghur food and I was pleasantly surprised! I am a big fan of cumin so this was right up my alley. The Lamb Kebab was really delicious. The meat was tender and flavorful. There was a very good cumin flavor that was not overpowering; though I personally would not mind more cumin seasoning. I would 100% order this again. I do wish the portion was slightly bigger. The Beef Cumin Chao-Mian was very interesting. The hand pulled noodles had a really pleasant chewy texture. The bite of the noodles was my favorite part of the dish. The seasoning for this dish was unique. It was fragrant but not overwhelming. I think that the sauce was a tomato base mixed with cumin. It was not that spicy. I personally prefer my noodles with bolder flavors and spice, but I did still thoroughly enjoy this dish. Also, the staff was very kind. My wife and I came 15 minutes before closing while the kitchen staff was cleaning. They reopened the kitchen to cook our dish. 100% coming back to try out the rest of the menu. read more

Great service. Food comes out slow coz they need time to prepare. Be patient. Bright bazaar style modern decor. Simple yet functional. Big Plate Chicken is excellent with perfect sauce with a hint of ... and the freshly handmade noodles are delicious! The 6 hour braised lamb shank is full of flavors & tastes ok. I thought it was a bit dry... but acceptable. Samsa appetizer is very tasty especially the baked pastry is fluffy & crunchy. Recommended. Chicken kabob is tasty & spicy read more

I passed by this establishment a while ago and it was crowded. Finally had a chance to try it during the evening rush on a Saturday. Food Samsa (2 piece per serve) - $7.95 Served with tender pieces of lamb, onions, black peppers, salt, and sesame. The lamb was lightly seasoned and tender. It was warm and a good starter plate for two people. Wellington-Style Roasted Lamb Shank - $28.95 Served with housemade noodles, beel, green onion, chives, cilantro, chili oil, and white radish. The pastry was piping hot and served fresh. It looked like a giant pastry turkey leg on a plate with 3 different condiments. Big Plate Chicken with Flat Noodle - Regular: $24.95 Served with eggplant, garlic, cilantro, dry red pepper, salt, sesame oil, prickly pepper oil, chili oil, and garlic water. The noodles were chewy and thick with every bite. It would've been great to have a pair of scissors as the noodles were very long. The chicken was tender on the bone and potato chunks were nicely cooked. Laghman (Vegan option avaliable) - $19.95 Made with handmade noodles, lamb, cabbage, potatoes, tomato, green onion, green pepper, and black fungus. The noodles were a skinnier version of the big flat noodles - it was chewy and very long. The lamb was seasoned well and paired well with the dish. Drinks Uyghur Special Milk Tea (Hot) - $5.95 Made with milk, black tea, butter, cream, and salt, it was served warm with a spoon. It was a savory type of milk tea from the saltiness of the butter. Real Fruit Homemade Yogurt Beverage - Mango Flavor - $6.95 It was served in a cute to go cup with a black lid and straw. The mango was tart and drink was creamy. This is one of the popular drinks that many patrons order. Customer Service Added to the Yelp waitlist and the expected wait time was between 16 to 30 minutes. Upon arrival, I waited in the front area until an employee came by with an iPad to check my party in. It took a bit of time until a server came to place my parties' order during the dinner rush. They were very accommodating with seating and providing a high chair for a toddler. However, I took off one star because the staff did not check in at all during the dining experience. read more

I would not recommend Kusan Bazaar for lunch. The food was mediocre and the restaurant felt more like a cafeteria style eating experience. I was promptly directed to a table to sit down and then the waiter walked away. I waited about five minutes for a menu until I saw a small stand with a QR code with a small message next to it stating that all orders are to be placed online. I took my phone out, scanned the QR code to find a very small menu. I wished the server noted this when we sat down. He just left after seating us. There were a small selection of appetizers, entrees, and desserts offered. The restaurant notes it is an asian fusion but there was very little asian food offered. It was more middle-eastern-centric food with a slight asian twist. For example, there was a mango sticky rice dessert which was sticky rice covered in plain yogurt with four mango chunks on top. It was not sweet and tasted like sour yogurt instead of the sweet flavor you get from the traditional coconut milk version. I tried a variety of lamb, beef, and chicken dishes. None of them were great. Each did not taste horrible but I left hungry after spending $90+ for a lunch for two people. I would not recommend this restaurant as there are many other yummy restaurants to choose from in the same plaza. read more

Very tasty and suitable for family with kids. I love the lamb best! Especially the Wellington lamb shank, our family loves most. Then the lamb soup with mini wonton, is very special of the strong lamb flavor. The draw back is no kids' utensils and there is only one waiter serving the whole restaurant. read more

I decided to try out Uyghur cuisine for lunch with my parents to celebrate my belated birthday, and it was all over my Instagram. This is their second location in the South Bay. There weren't a lot of people on a weekday when we walked in, and only one waiter was serving. Ordering was simple through their QR code. While waiting, there was a toddler running around the serving area and playing bongos on the cushioned seats near the booth where I was sitting. She was almost close to me while I eyed her mother across the table with a party of 7-8 people, since I was expecting she say something but didn't. We ordered a lot of dishes from appetizers to entrees: Uyghur Salad- flavorful with sesame oil and vinegar dressing Samsa- lamb filling with onions inside handmade pies; kinda small though Laghman (Veggie)- love the thick, long, and chewy noodles with lots of vegetables in juicy tomato sauce. I prefer to order the original lamb next time. Beef Cumin Chao-min- flavorful beef with laghman. We liked this dish a lot Golden Crispy Lamb Ribs- 3 sauces/spices (chili oil, cumin spice, and yogurt sauce) options offered to dip the lamb ribs to get rid of the gamey smell and taste. It was really expensive for half a dozen lamb ribs. The waiter was kind to replace my used napkin with a handful of napkins during our meal. Also, props to him for defending himself from a tempered man across the table calmly and professionally by telling him, "Please don't yell at me, I am here to solve your problem." That man was mad, yelling in front of the kids that he didn't receive an order he had added for half an hour, and he was sitting with the same family who let their child play bongos near my seat. The waiter apologized to us for the disruption, but it should be the man who is accountable for his behavior. Overall, the food was delicious with healthy options, even though we spent over $100 with tax and tips for a portion fit for two people. Our food came out fast without the need to be a Karen. I would try out different dishes next time. Also, love how clean and tidy the restaurant was with a modern decor. read more

We tried the downtown sj location and were interested by the other dishes therefore we came to try this location. We were too hungry to take the photos.. but the baozi was tasty. We also got the lamb noodles and the lamb soup noodles. We loved the food but Honestly I think it's a bit pricey for what it has to offer, it's more like a night out instead of casual dinner food. The restaurant is pretty busy anyways, service wasn't slow or fast or attentive. Looks like there's only one server working. read more

I don't believe there are that many restaurants in this area yet serving Central Asian cuisine, and this also looked so enticing in the advertisements online. I'm really glad that I got introduced to this cuisine and liked the dumplings. However, I was a bit let down in some parts of my experience. Upon entering the restaurant, I saw the door said PULL, but I noticed the door was a little pushed in. I pulled the door open for my friend who entered, and I followed after her and waited right inside as the directions said to wait in the waiting area to be seated. However, right as I stood inside the waiting area after entering, the door swung back inward and hit my backpack, which protected me. I think there is something wrong with the door or it is a hazard in the waiting area. If I had not worn my backpack, the door would have hit my back. We came to eat in the early evening. We didn't have to wait long to be seated, and the employees gave us helpful directions for ordering with the QR code and also provided physical menus. The food came out after a moderate wait, which was understandable considering that lots of items seem to take patience for crafting, like their noodles. I ordered the tomato soup with wontons, and I shared another main dish of dumplings with my friend. The tomato soup was decent although a little bland for my taste. The dumplings were delectable and my friend and I liked the strong onion taste. The plating was pretty and the servers were nice and also provided us plum juice samples. The portions were just a bit small for me, as I was still hungry after eating my own meal and sharing another one with my friend. The ambience of this restaurant was pleasant. The restaurant got busy later, so there was a wait for payment and attention from servers. It must be popping off on social media. I think I would have been happier with larger portions and more spice. I'm really pleased with how nice the servers were, though. read more

This place changed my opinion on lamb. I usually don't eat it because of the gamey taste, but I couldn't taste that here. Items I ordered: - Laghman Noodles: I liked the noodles texture! The tomato sauce was good too! Just wish they gave us spoons and forks so I can scoop the sauce as well as have an easier time with the long slippery noodles. - Wellington-Style Roasted Lamb Shank: It's good! I loved dipping the lamb in all the seasonings/sauces. Presentation was nice too! - Cucumber Salad with Yogurt: It's alright just to have some veggies. - Honey Yuzu Flavor Yoghurt Beverage: Ordered it because of someone else's review, but I wasn't a fan of the lemon zest/pieces. Maybe try a different fruit flavor. Good amount of space and seating. Everything was clean. We went during their early stages so I could see they had kinks to work out. The woman working there seemed super friendly! read more

Oh why did I wait so long to check this place out? I was a bit sad when the previous business that was in this spot closed down.. and when Kusan Bazaar first opened, I didn't particularly see anything on the menu that caught my attention.. So for the longest time, I just brushed it off and went to my usual lunch locations in the area for awhile. Getting a little fatigued from the area, Kusan caught my eye once again.. Not sure if the decor had changed since their first opening, but a glance at their menu and I was like.. let's just go for it.. Saw the Laghman noodles were pretty popular, and from photos as well as its description.. I felt that was a good choice.. I was ready to start ordering on my mobile, but a wonderful and friendly waitress came up and asked if I needed help and if I was ready to order. Ended up getting the Laghman as well as one of their yogurt drinks as well. Food was, needless to say, absolutely amazing. The texture of the fresh, hand-pulled noodles is something on a different level. The aromas and flavors of the laghman was something that was much needed. That fatigue I was feeling was swept away by this delicious meal. Another place to finally add to the list. The yogurt drink? oh yeah.. just as refreshing as I expected it to be.. Overall, yep... I'll definitely be coming here more often. read more

Came here on a weekend night and noticed it was pretty popular. The interior of the restaurant is really nice. We ordered the beef noodle soup and the beef cumin chao-mian. Out of the two, the beef cumin noodles were my favorite they kind of tasted like a mix of tikka masala with nice chewy noodles. The meat here is definitely their specialty. We also ordered the chicken and lamb kebabs and the golden, crispy roasted lamb rib, and they were all very tender with great flavor. The service was pretty decent, and the restaurant was pretty packed during our visit. Overall, I would definitely come back here for the kebabs. read more

It was good, but the other location is better and I'm not sure if I'd come back to this one, also because I'm not sure if this type of Chinese food is for me. It's a good option if you're halal or used to this kind of food, though! The service is kind if a little slow and the restaurant is pretty and has enough seating. The food is very light and fresh with chillies that are more fragrant than spicy. The pilaf is sweet with apricots and raisins and the noodles are proper chewy, but the beef was kind of lacking to me. read more

Wow, I have never had Uyghur food before but I was blown away! I really like that they advertise they use fresh ingredients. I came with my mom and ordered the crispy skin lamb rack, wood ear mushroom salad, and a side of noodles. The wood ear salad (5/5)- This came out first and was a spicy refreshing tangy sauce. I quite like sour and spicy foods so it was right up my alley. The portions were good for it's side and I appreciate that they didn't fluff it up with other cheaper ingredients. If you don't like vinegary taste, maybe get something else it was a bit too much for my mom. Crispy skin lamb- (5/5) I've never had anything like this before. The meat was so tender and flavorful and the skin was thin and crispy. It was definitely giving crispy skin roast duck textures and flavors. It came with 3 flavorings: bbq spice mix, yogurt sauce, and chili oil. My fav was their homemade yogurt sauce. It's only 4 pieces, and minimal meat but it was really delicious. Noodles- (3.5/5) these were bouncy chewy delicious but also cold and unseasoned. Imagine freshly rinsed cooked noodles. But honestly that's what I can expect with just a side order of noodles, I bet they'd be delicious in a mixed noodle dish! After seasoning with some salt and wood-ear mushroom vinegar sauce, I had ate nearly the entire plate all myself. read more

Definitely a nice date spot. I really like the decor and ambiance; it's elegant, modern, and very clean! The food is also fantastic and very flavorful and I truly can't wait to try more dishes (especially the noodles). APPETIZERS This time around I tried the Uyghur Salad. It's very refreshing, acidic, and savory. Highly recommend ordering this because it goes well with the lamb dishes, offering some acidity to cut the fattiness. I wish the portion was bigger, but I appreciate the work that puts into thinly slicing all the vegetables. ENTREES I highly recommend ordering the Laghman noodles. As a huge noodle fan, these were amazing. They're chewy with some nice QQ and were very smooth and fun to eat. The sauce was also very savory and delicious! If you don't know what to order, definitely get this. It can also be made vegan. The Uyghur Grilled Lamb Shank was surprisingly tender. Like, way more than I expected! It fell off the bone and comes with a few sauces for different flavors. My favorite was the spice mix. They don't season the lamb too aggressively so you can truly enjoy the "natural" lamb flavors. It was an enjoyable dish, but I found myself preferring the others at this time. BEVERAGES The beverages were also interesting and new to me. The Dogap Yogurt Beverage reminds me of kefir. If you like kefir, you'll like this. It is tart, but I wouldn't say sour. Just what you'd expect from yogurt beverages. If you're looking for something sweeter, maybe consider the other options. The Uyghur Special Milk Tea is special! I liked it a lot. I didn't get a lot of tea flavor but the milk was very creamy, fatty, and delicious. It tasted like it had some salted butter which complimented the drink well. Sort of reminds me of bullet-proof coffee, if you enjoy that. Service was prompt and friendly. read more
