Sansa
Wayne K.

Very nice and clean environment service was prompt and food is flavorful. we got the samsa, and it was not like normal samsa that we said it was more of a steamed meat inside and a traditional outside. We also got the lamb noodle dish, which was heavy on the vinegar and heavy on the soy. Finally, we got the lamb tripe soup which was clean and plain. Overall I'd give the place a 3.5 / 4 with lots of room to grow. The part that I suggest is to rework the balance of salt, the dishes, every dishes overly salted.

Our friend visited from SoCal and chose this place because it was able to cater to a big group. The food was excellent, the flavor was punchy! I love it

Lamb pilaf (with small salad, not pictured) $22
Han-Nha T.

We've come back a few times. Better than the other location. Stand-outs are the lamb pilaf (great seasoned meat, rice is cooked a long time), the lamb kabob (although pricier) and the yogurt dessert. Service isn't great, there only seems to be one person up front, but she is very pleasant. However, I cannot lie the music they play is very bad. It was a jazz/bossa nova cover of Mikshake by Fergie. And other similar songs. Interesting! They offer a free yogurt for writing a review, but these are my honest thoughts and we would have gotten the yogurt anyway.

Lamb kebab, samsa, garlic naan

This was a nice restaurant. I liked the food, especially the samsa, which is an interesting combination of the golden brown egg flavored exterior and spiced meat inside. However I can't speak to if the food is authentic. Given the table card says it is "inspired by" Xinjiang cuisine, I'm not sure. The service was good, checking in once in a while but not rushing us. The inside is very clean with nice decor. But, I think the reviews are likely skewed high because the restaurant offered a free item to leave a review.

Came with my wife after eating matcha gelato. We just played sports and we were ready to destroy some food. There was almost no line so we walked in. The store doesn't have a whole lot of tables, it's a little small but cozy for a restaurant. The utensils and decor look new. Probably because it just opened. Nothing exceptional for service. We ordered the signature beef noodle soup and the lamb rack. Beef noodle soup: pretty good, ultra tender meat. But noodle portion was a bit small. Noodles weren't my style. Lamb rack: amazing. 3 sauces and super tender. But for 25$ I have to question if it was worth the money. For the price it was a tad high. Decent quality food but needs better value for money. 3.5 stars rounded to 4 stars. Rough around the edges.

Braised lamb rib pilaf
Hannah C.

Not the most memorable Central Asian/Uyghur food experience I've had. The location is really convenient - it's right next to Movement Mountain View, making it an easy post-climb meal. The interior is clean and simple, making for a lovely dining experience. The service was speedy. The food wasn't the most amazing Central Asian fare I've ever tried. The signature beef noodle soup only had a couple tiny pieces of meat, and the broth was straight water. I usually love the clean, simple flavor of a Central Asian beef noodle soup, but this dish genuinely had not an ounce of flavor. We were honestly a little confused on if they gave us the right dish at first. It had some chili oil on top, and that was perhaps the only flavor I tasted. The lamb skewers were much better, as was the Uyghur salad. I loved the spice and chew of the skewers, and the salad was refreshing and clean. The braised lamb rib pilaf was a hefty price for two thin slices of lamb. I really wanted to be impressed by this spot, but it was a lackluster experience.

Uyghur Roast Lamb Shank
Laltoo B.

Amazing Uyghur delicacies. Very different tastes & flavors. We went in for 4 Lamb courses - Soup, Kebab, Roast Shank & Pilaf. Each dish was unique, well done, & very tasty. The meat fell off the bone. The condiments were pretty authentic - spice powder, chilli oil & yogurt dip. Lots of other stuff on the menu to be tried. For desi folks - It's not goat, it's lamb, so be ready for some fat & gamy taste. Very nice & clean decor, friendly service. Must try for Meat lovers.

6 hour lamb pilaf
Maryrose M.

Really good flavors, wish we had this in San Diego. Lamb was tender and fell off the bone. Would go back here again, great service!

Y C.

Order any of the pilaf! It's really tasty! We got the beef pilaf and they gave a generous amount of beef. I wish they gave more rice to go with it though. Cold chili chicken was good too.

Chicken kabob
Ray N.

The food here is outstanding. I got a cup of the lamb tripe soup: the broth was nourishing and the pieces of tripe were tender and flavorful. I really liked it. We also got the beef ribs and a side of naan. The beef ribs were seasoned with a lovely blend of spices that imparted a lot of different flavors (complementary to the beef) and a little bit of heat. The naan was delicate and tasty: we immediately ordered another order. I want to come back and try some of the rice dishes; they sounded outstanding.

Uyghur Special Milk Tea
Syed M.

Since my first review, I have visited Kusan many times, for both to-go orders and to dine in. And I am happy to re-confirm my five-start rating! When dining in, I've been able to sample a variety of dishes with guests. Everyone I've brought was impressed with the food, with particular highlights going to the Lamb Ribs, Lamb Shank, Handcrafted Dumplings, and Kebabs. The service is also as friendly & prompt as I'd expect. I also recommend trying the Uyghur Special Milk Tea; it's not like any other milk tea you can order at a boba shop. yet still very delicious.

beef noodle soup
Phoebe S.

I've been missing my travels to Xinjiang and my friends were curious about Uyghur cuisine, so I brought them here to tackle the menu! 6-hr Braised Lamb Shank Pilaf: hands down the best dish of the night! The lamb shank was so tender, pairing perfectly with the subtle sweetness from the raisins and the chewy rice pilaf. Wellington-Style Roasted Lamb Shank: I was curious how a Wellington-style would translate here, but it actually worked surprisingly well. Eggplant with Mashed Garlic: it was alright. We mostly ordered it to get some veggies on the table. A bit too oily, and we all agreed it might taste better served hot instead of as a cold dish. Grilled Garlic Naan: so good with everything else we ordered. Stewed Mutton Soup: not our favorite. We didn't end up finishing it since it was on the greasy side. Beef Noodle Soup: a solid Lanzhou-style beef noodle soup, but not the most standout dish of the night. Homemade Amina Yogurt with Almonds: a nice way to help digest all the heavier dishes. The yogurt itself was pretty simple, but still tasty with the honey and almonds. Huge fan of the 6-hr braised lamb shank pilaf! I'll definitely be back just for that :)

Pilaf with beef
Yasmeen E.

My husband and I walked inside the restaurant one hour before closing. We stood there for nearly 10 minutes waiting to be seated. The chefs could see us and didn't do anything about it. there were two parties eating at their tables but no severs in those 10 minutes. As soon as we walked outside to leave, we saw a server come out to help one of the parties. In that moment, my husband and I decided to give the place the benefit of the doubt and go back in. We waited a few more minutes. At this point it's kind of embarrassing We finally get seated. To order your food, you scan a QR code. To be honest, it already frustrated me to see that because with our waiting and this, it painted the service as minimum and below. (What am I tipping for at this point?) I noticed the menu was quite limited compared to other Uyghur restaurants, so I didn't see any of our go to, which was fine. We ordered four items and everything was flavorful. And it was reasonably priced. The restaurant itself -- the bathroom was run down, like what you would see at a gas station. Scratched up mirrors, dirty, just run down in general. The rest of the restaurant was okay, nothing remarkable. Overall, I might consider coming back, but I'm still on the hunt for better experiences and finding my go to Uyghur spot.

Rich in flavor without feeling greasy or heavy. It came with a light fish broth on the side, which was nice for balancing out the richness (although I personally didn't find the rice heavy at all). 2. The pork & mushroom thin-crust pizza was also really good. There was a generous layer of fresh mushrooms and ground pork between two super thin, crispy layers of crust. The crust tasted like it had been pan-fried with oil-and-flour paste, making it especially fragrant, flaky, and crispy. 3. The garlic salad was refreshing and appetizing. The garlic slices were fried until golden and crispy, and the salad had a nice tangy acidity that balanced everything out. Simple but very tasty.

When I arrived, the place was PACKED, but thankfully the bar was still relatively empty and I was able to snag a stool. By the time I left, the bar was full, though. I ordered the duck noodles, which were good, but not quite as good as I had been hoping. Just a little unmemorable (albeit beautifully presented). My cocktail, which was a spin on a margarita, was good, however.

Tamirine has a beautiful, sophisticated dining room and the food presentation fits the upscale Vietnamese concept. However, the experience starts before a guest ever sits down, and that is where management has an opportunity to improve. When guests arrive, they should be greeted promptly and acknowledged, rather than left waiting outside, especially in the heat. Even if the restaurant is not ready to seat them immediately, a simple greeting such as, "Welcome, we'll be right with you," goes a long way. It communicates that the guest has been seen and that the team is in control. This is also where strong SOPs and management follow-through become important. For an upscale restaurant, the arrival and greeting process should be clearly defined: who greets the guest, how quickly they should be acknowledged, what happens when there is a wait, and how guests are communicated with while they wait. SOPs only work when management consistently trains, observes, coaches, and enforces them. Having procedures written down is not enough. Leaders need to make sure the team is actually executing them during every shift, particularly during busy periods. The restaurant has the setting and concept to deliver a premium experience. The next step is making sure the service standards consistently match the environment and price point. Management should remember: the guest experience begins at the front door, not when the food reaches the table.
