Wow, great lunch special and one of the best mapo tofu plates I've ever had!!!!!!! Silken tofu cut perfectly, with some mala, a bit of tang, deliciousness and addictive numbingness in each bite. The perfect garlicky sauce, and such a generous portion for a lunch special. Their chicken and corn egg drop soup was delightful as well. It was piping hot, comforting, perfectly done. Their restaurant is impeccably clean and their sauce and seasonings come out per table, so those are spotless as well. I very much appreciate their detail here and their utensils were also spotless. It's so comforting to come here during a quick lunch for a fast and easy service, with a lovely lady up front offering exceptional kindness and hospitality. My food came out so quick! I will be back very soon and I'll have my friends and family with me. What a great spot! read more

Taibat - yummy mapo tofu - Halal Near Me - Artesia, California

Having lived in Beijing and eaten Uyghur-style food out in the streets and in established restaurants as I traveled around, I was unbelievably excited to find this restaurant near home. However, it left me wanting more. I do wonder about the plethora of high reviews, because from my standpoint of having had a lot of Uyghur-style food abroad and my husband who had never had any, this place disappointed in taste. Ambiance (3/5): It was large, brightly lit and clean, but being so empty, it felt kind of sterile in there due to the lack of air flow and a TV blaring Spanish infomercials. I think it would add to the mood if they played some light instrumental music. Service (3/5): There was one waitress the whole time we were there and other than taking our order, she didn't come by much. I had to go to her twice to ask for things, including asking about rice. It was weird that she let us order without letting us know that we had to order rice separately. Yes...unlike most Chinese restaurants that automatically serve complimentary rice with main course dishes, you have to order rice and it's charged per bowl. Yikes. Food (3/5): We ordered the spicy Sichuanese boiled fish, lamb skewers and popcorn chicken. Admittedly, the fish and chicken dish aren't very Uyghur, and for that, it's our fault. However, the fish just was not close to anything I've had elsewhere, and not in a good way. It wasn't that spicy and it didn't have that signature mala kick. It was also salty. This was probably the most disappointing. The popcorn chicken was called something else on the menu, but it was essentially a big order of what you'd get at a Taiwanese boba shop. My kids loved it but I questioned why we ordered boba shop food on a dish. If anything were to right the wrongs, I expected the lamb skewers to be perfect at the price for four and it being a major Uyghur specialty. While the smell of the spices was accurate, the chunks of lamb were dry and tough that even my husband who had zero expectations mentioned what I noticed. I'm giving this place 3 stars for it being a unique restaurant that tries, but at the price point and quality of food, we both didn't feel that it would be a place we would visit again. The empty restaurant during peak dinner hours might have been a hint. But if you have restrictions such as needing to eat Halal food, then this restaurant offers some different dishes, so that may be its huge plus. read more

I haven't had Uyghur cuisine in a while, so I was looking forward to giving this place a try! I placed my order over the phone for an early dinner pick up and they had my order ready by the time I arrived. I got the Flat Noodle Chow Mein which includes flat cut hand pull noodles with stir fried lamb and vegetables. The Uyghur food flavors that I was craving for definitely got satisfied. I enjoyed the noodles and the portions were decent for a fulfilling meal. read more

This is the same Uyghur restaurant called Omar's but replaced with a new name Taibat. Most everything is the same except for new owners and food. In summary the food is NOT the same as Omar's. It's more Chinese than Uyghur. The most famous Dai Pan Ji or big plate chicken is more like traditional Chinese dish. It has very little Uyghurness. Noodles is not hand pulled because it lacks cheweyness, the sauce is more like soy sauce based, garlic is cooked pickled garlic which is sour, chicken is cooked in the same soy sauce, therefore brown. They added regular red chili's but not enough and most of all, it lacked ALL the essential Uyghur spices fermented chilli, star anise, bay leaves, fennel seeds, and Sichuan peppercorn that gives numbness. And this whole dish was $36.99. I'm never coming back again. Gotta try Dolans...Ma's place in Fullerton is not good good either. Best way to describe this place is Chinese food with some Uyghur dishes. read more

Taibat - 3 meat fried rice, Kung Pao Chicken, Mongolian Beef, and chicken wings - Halal Near Me - Artesia, California

We were delighted to find this Chinese Islamic or Uyghur place, and had an excellent experience. If you are interested in trying out something slightly adventurous or if you love lamb, this is the place to go. We dined in and brought a couple of items to go, and everything was delicious. What we enjoyed the most was the Lamb clay pot with pickled Napa cabbage, that used to our family's favorite but fewer and fewer place serves them in LA, we are happy to find them, and it was excellent. Tip: We asked them why they don't serve the soup with rice noodles like others, they said they could do to us (by request), they don't do it because the soup gets sucked dry quickly. Other dishes we especially like were the string beans, and cumin lamb. Dumplings and buns were good, too. The place is huge, good for parties. Service was friendly and helpful. read more

MashAllah, the food was amazing! The staff were delightful and very friendly. I love the set up of the space. It's very family style meals, and you can never go wrong with Halal food. I cannot wait to come back and try some of their other dishes. This is the first time I've ever been able to eat any of the bao buns at a restaurant, and you can get them in lamb, beef or chicken and everything is halal. Great Uyghur food made here! read more

aibat Restaurant, 11740 Artesia Blvd, Artesia, CA90701. Halal certified Uyghur-Chinese fusion. First time to a Halal Uyghur-Chinese restaurant in Southern California. Friendly service. We had the usual "classic" dishes like mapo tofu, cumin lamb, string beans, spring onion pancake. My favourite was the mapo tofu. The rest were just ok. read more

Great Halal Chinese food with lots of Uyghur dishes like laghman and cumin lamb! We ordered the chow mein and green beans for kiddos (so kid friendly!) and the hot pepper beef, shrimp fried rice, general tso chicken, and hot pepper beef. Everything tasted so authentic and fresh but our favorites were the general tso chicken and shrimp fried rice. The general tso was so crispy and paired with such a good hot and spicy sauce. The fried rice was packed with egg and vegetables with such plump and large shrimp! Th laghman hand pulled noodles were such a nice texture and the broth made it such a comforting dish. The pepper beef was spicy but now too spicy at all, more so flavored with the bell peppers which gives it a unique flavor. The fact that it's fully halal and has a prayer area in a separate clean room is such a plus too. read more

Hungry for some Halal food? Then try Taibat in the city of Artesia off of Artesia Blvd. & Pioneer Blvd. for some delicious Chinese cuisine! Located in a small shopping center with free parking and spots located in front of the restaurant, this is a great place for dine-in as well as take-out. We ordered the flat noodles with lamb which is one of their specialty dishes, honey walnut shrimp, beef with green onion, eggplant with basil ($15.99), beef pot stickers, and steamed white rice (served in individual rice bowls). Everything was good, my favorite was the honey walnut shrimp for it's distinctive batter and plump shrimp. There were free wonton strips/chips and dates provided prior to our meal, great way to prepare your stomach and taste buds for the tasty flavors of Taibat. Thank you to the servers for excellent service with such great hospitality, like a fine dining experience for an affordable price. Taibat is a tasteful place for Halal cooking at its finest, enjoy! read more

Taibat is a place you truly want to come back again. We had such a wonderful experience from start to finish. We had our Iftar here and there was 10 of our friends. From the moment you walk in, there's a special atmosphere -- cozy and beautiful. Everything feels very balanced and welcoming. The food was absolutely incredible -- honestly, everything we tried was delicious. You can tell the dishes are made with care and good-quality ingredients. The flavors were rich, well-balanced, and sometimes surprisingly unique in the best way. Every dish made us want to finish every last bite. The presentation also deserves special mention -- everything looked beautiful and very appetizing. It's clear the team pays attention not only to taste but also to how the food is served, which makes the whole experience even more enjoyable. The service was just as great -- attentive, friendly, and not intrusive. We truly felt like welcomed guests rather than just customers. Overall, it was one of those dining experiences where everything comes together perfectly: the food, the atmosphere, and the service. I highly recommend Taibat to anyone who appreciates good-quality, delicious food. We will definitely be coming back! read more

It's the month of Ramadan and during iftar time there is only one lady running around everywhere. There is no one at the register and she is struggling by herself. There is one man probably the Manager or the standing right in front of the entrance of the kitchen doing nothing. The server didn't even ask for the drink. Just horrible service. I would not recommend anyone to come here. The food taste great. read more

I wasn't sure what to expect when I walked into a empty restaurant. I came in earlier. I had friends coming to join me so I ordered some chive pancakes to start off so when they came, you'll be ready. They came in and took our order right away. Let me just say if you come very hungry and watch your food right away. This is definitely not the spot. But if you want Great tasting food then this definitely is a place for you! We ordered a whole bunch of different dishes from stews, rice, noodles, lamb and vegetables everything was full of flavor. The place was very clean and welcoming read more

Wonderful Halal Chinese food. The staff is very warm and explains the menu in detail. Ambiance is also good. They have a lot of space. Great for families!

Taibat - Cute decor - Halal Near Me - Artesia, California

We tried this place on the recommendation of a family friend and it did not disappoint. The quantity received for prices was perfect. The wait time was average and the customer service was normal. The only thing I would say I did not like was the shrimp. It had a strong smell to it which made it harder to swallow for me. Both the beef and chicken dishes ordered had a good flavor to them and were cooked amd bought out at the right temperature. I am writing this review almost a month after eating here so I have forgotten the exact names of the dishes but still can remember the taste as I had the leftovers the next day as well. read more

Omar's Kitchen is one of the few Uyghur restaurants in L.A. It is the ethnic Muslims from the northwest province of China and more characteristic to Turkey. The food is halah and is a cross between Turkish and Chinese cuisine. Lamb is a staple protein of Uyghur cuisine. We had the traditional Laghman which is their hand pulled noodles with stir fried lamb & vegetables which was absolutely delicious. Their cumin lamb has a slightly different flavor profile that you would normally have at a Sichuan restaurant, but equally good. We also had more traditional Chinese dishes like salt and pepper fish and shrimp with vegetable, but also cooked and served with a little bit of a twist from the Turkish influence. All their dishes overall were very good and tasty. Service which were essentially the owners was good. Prices are reasonable. The ambience and decorations around the restaurant were colorful and informative of the Uyghur culture. For those that enjoy Chinese food, Omar's Kitchen should definitely be on your restaurant list! read more

It had been quite some time since we visited this spot and after our delicious meal, I was happy that we returned. The husband and wife team provide great service and authentic and delicious food. We ordered the Hand Pulled Noodles, the Sweet and Sour Soup, and the General Tso 's Chicken. The small sweet and sour soup is enough for about 4 people and is filled with flavor and slightly spicy. General Tso's Chicken has hearty pieces of chicken and the Hand Pulled Noodles are a must order. I checked in which offered a free soda or tea, but was told that offer is no longer available. Lunch specials are available during the week from 11am to 3pm. read more

I had driven by the sign for Omar's Kitchen so many times on the way to/from 99 Ranch to buy groceries, so decided to finally check it out for dinner when my mom was visiting. It's not hard to find parking in the plaza's lot. The interior is beautifully decorated with lots of Uyghur items (hats, paintings, instruments, etc.) as well as Islamic architecture. The menu was smaller than I expected, with no dedicated vegetable section that I expect in most Chinese restaurants (though given the climate of the Xinjiang region, maybe their cuisine is not veggie-heavy). In addition, it was disappointing that they didn't have any yogurt or desserts, that the Yelp check-in offer is no longer valid [the owner didn't know how to remove it], and that there were no dumplings or 餅 on the menu as pictured in some older photos. The food is also a bit pricey, though the portion sizes are decent. As others have mentioned, food is made to order, so there may be somewhat of a wait. Service was a bit slow too, since there were no servers other than the owner couple. Everything was very tasty, albeit a bit on the saltier side. We ordered Beef and [King Oyster] Mushroom, the Uyghur Chow Mein (Flat Noodle), and Dry Garlic Fish. The fish filets were fried to a nice crisp and accompanied with flavorful dried garlic. The husband of the husband and wife owner couple came to chat with us at the end of our meal, in Mandarin. We had a fascinating conversation and he told us a lot about the Xinjiang region and the Uyghur people. Overall, tasty food (halal if that matters to you) and a good experience for more regional Chinese food. read more

Uyghur cuisine is from China but it's closer to Central Asian dishes than it is to various Chinese cuisines. This place changed its name but the chef is still Omar who is gifted. He can make any dish be just perfect. I have had this kind of food around the country but this place is the best example of Halal Uyghur cuisine. read more

Had dinner with my dad here and was impressed! Highly recommend the lamb kebob's with the cumin and chili seasoning. It has a nice smokiness that compliments the tender texture. We ordered the flat noodle chow mein special and it was very balanced with a nice touch of subtle heat. We also contrasted that with the more traditional stir fried chow mein which was solid. Highly recommend for fantastic Uyghur and Halal Chinese food! read more

Taibat - Inside - Halal Near Me - Artesia, California

My family has been going to this restaurant everyone once in a while over the years. I think the ownership changed recently (name changed and employees are different). Under the new ownership, the Mongolian beef was still really good, but the green onion pancake isn't as good and flavorful. I tried a different noodle than I've gotten in the past, so I can't really compare, but it was decent. My friends and I stayed a really long time, but the servers were really patient and accommodating. They were so generous to even give us a free desert (ice cream and persimmons). I think I liked the ambience under the old ownership better though - something about the seating arrangement, decor, or lighting felt more cozy - not sure what it was. read more
