Central East Asian Cuisine 印象新疆

Authentic central Asian food with friendly service and quick delivery. Four of us ordered three entrees and one appetizer and it’s a great meal. Generous portion. My favorite is def anything lamb. So well seasoned and tender. The roasted eggplant has lots of garlic but could’ve been cooked more well. Still slightly raw when served. Fairly priced and super delicious

Ordered polu, samsa, and lamb leg. Food was really poorly made. polu used pre-made sliced lamb meat (the rice is not cooked together with the meat and has absolutely no flavor). lamb leg was very dry, it seems like the meat is not fresh, and they just baked it in an oven. Instead of naan, it is served with bread crumbs which is ridiculous. service was good, the waitresses are friendly and helpful.

The staff were very sincere and nice even though we were kinda out of it. In my opinion, the menu was not the most exciting. The food was good but the iron pots are the kind of thing I can just make at home. Didn't try the tandoor lamb, which looks like their star dish. I'd like to try it sometime. Nice to have northwestern Chinese food in Chinatown.

This place deserves better rating on google. Not sure if it was previous bad reviews that brings it down, but our recent dining experience was excellent. The staff was super friendly and just the right amount of chatty without being intrusive. The lamb skewers were super fresh and cook perfectly. The tandoori skewer was particularly tasty. The value proposition is amazing, when inflation is this bad, they still manage to give you 1$ lamb skewer and 3.5$ for a huge meaty tandoori skewer is just unheard of. Definitely recommend and would be returning next time we come back up to Chicago Chinatown

I love this place and always order takeout from here, but 2 days I got some lamb buns and they upset my stomach. I’m wondering if maybe these are old meat buns that they didn’t sell before, but I had upset stomach for 2 days. I would probably not order takeout from here again which is sad because I loved this place so much

I came here for a quick snack and it had delicious cold noodles and skewers. Would come again.

My wife was unhappy with her orange chicken (dry). My dish was excellent. Read the menu carefully and ask questions of the very helpful wait staff. It's really hard to tell if there are bathrooms available for patron use (there are).

This place was incredible. We came in on a quiet weekday night and were craving some lamb skewers. They cooked over coals so they taste even better than the tiny ones you get at most places. We also ordered the lamb over rice, a bun filled with beef, and a cold chicken dish. All of the food was amazing, best lamb I’ve had- fresh, not gamey. Rice was stellar, chicken was perfectly seasoned, bun was super meaty and satisfying. The people working there were so nice (im not chinese, can’t speak a word of chinese)
Overall great experience on a quiet night, will definitely come back soon

Overpriced: The Mongolian beef was 95% onions and a very few pieces of meat.

Very authentic western Chinese cuisine. Wait staff were friendly and helpful. I love the fact that they had the traditional recessed hot pot stoves built into the tables. We had cumin lamb, beef hot pot and sweet deep fried pork. I couldn’t figure out which was my favourite, as they were all absolutely delicious and in incredibly generous portion sizes. Definitely a fun place to go with friends for a very delicious and authentic meal!

Great food that actually tastes like what we’ve had in China. Great portions too!

I had pot stickers. They were amazing! General Tso chicken. If I lived in Chicago I would eat there at least once a week.
