the food was amazing. We ordered big plate chicken, lamb ribs, and stir fry lamb with naan. All 3 were very unique and delicious. The big plate chicken had noodles at the bottom, soaked up all the juice from the chicken, absolute bomb. The ribs were fatty, and juicy. My personal favorite was the stir fry lamb with naan. Lamb was juicy, seasoned with lots of cumin, and the naan was crispy.
Service was also good.
Highly recommend.

I got my table around 8 pm and didn’t get my food until almost 25 mins later. Everyone who came after me already had their meals. It was really frustrating, especially since it wasn’t even peak time. The food was okay, but the long wait completely ruined my mood.

First of all, the food was terrible, but the waitress stayed in my heart and made me forgive the food here?

Very delicious food. Be careful though, as it can hard to share many of their noodle dishes which are kind of splashy. Also they can be a bit too spicy without warning.

Food tasted very authentic and the owner and staff were excellent. They spent extra time to chat with us and make sure we got everything we need.

We've been to this restaurant twice but couldn't get a meal either time. The first time, we had a larger group, and even though there were tables available, they refused to combine them for us. The service was very cold and unfriendly. The second time, we arrived at 2:10 PM, and despite the sign saying they close at 2:30 PM, we were met with a cold "last call" response. It feels like this restaurant is only capable of handling small-scale operations and has no potential to grow. The staff's attitude needs training, and the lack of preparation with their dishes needs to be addressed.

Cute, intimate, and delicious, Tarim Garden is the place to go if you seek wonderfully made Xinjiang cuisine. Everything is seasoned and cooked tastefully, from vegetable to noodle. As other satisfied customers have noted, the handpulled noodles are to die for--they are fresh, chewy, and compliment the served sauce very well! The cumin beef and garlic cucumber were very generously. For those that dine in, a total of three servings of noodles are complementary.
The day I came, the staff was very sweet and patient. Ordering is mobile and becomes customer's responsibility, but the workers and vigilant on getting orders right. We came at lunch, when the restaurant was fairly busy, but were served very quickly.
Overall, this was a very good experience. We keep raving about coming back.

I was told that I would need to wait for 1 hour to be seated, and then 1 hour again to get food. Yet, they never called my name or sent me a text, even after 3 hours. Very unprofessional.

Delicious! The beef laghmian (hand pulled noodle) is great. The noodles have a really wonderful chewy texture and the sauce is well-balanced with its heat, sweetness and acidity. The beef had a jerky-like texture, which might be a bit divisive, but I enjoyed it! Well-seasoned and flavourful.
Service was on the slow end though, spent quite a bit of time twiddling my thumbs. The dishes are also more suited towards family-style, so the portions are on the larger end. Definitely bring your family or friends!
One nitpick: I wish the noodles were warmer. It must have gone through a cold bath. The contrast in temperature between the hot sauce and lukewarm noodles was a bit unenjoyable
Overall, great restaurant, definitely stopping by again if I have the chance!
