Le Taklamakan Reviews
Great food average to low service and decor.
Good Uyghur food, recommend
Ordered take out. Food was great and happy to find authentic Xinjiang style lamb.
Small note regarding ordering the big chicken plate for take-out. Even well wrapped, the sauce would over flow, and the paper bag wouldn't hold it. I recommend putting half the sauce in a separate container.

Le Taklamakan is a hidden gem serving amazing Uighur cuisine. The tender lamb and lamb BBQ dishes are filled with flavor and complemented by the fragrant cumin. The steam dumplings (manti) and fried noodles are standouts, bursting with juice and packed with savory onion. The staff is friendly and welcoming, making it feel like home. Authentic and delicious, Le Taklamakan is a must-try for those seeking a unique Chinese food experience.
The portions are generous, the price is affordable, and the taste is good. The large plate of chicken, naan buns, and mutton skewers are all must-orders. The owner is accommodating, and the Dapanji (Big Plate Chicken) is a highlight, with the naan being soft and flavorful. While the menu doesn't offer a wide variety of dishes, each one is a specialty from the Taklamakan region, making it a great choice for those interested in this culture's cuisine.
