"Inside an open kitchen where flames leap and cooks pull laghman by hand, a team from across Central Asia (Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan) plates hearty, spice-forward fare. Expect Uzbek items like petite fried chuchvara dumplings alongside Xinjiang dishes such as a big plate chicken stewed in a slightly sweet, star-anise-scented, gently spicy broth. Smoky dry-fried noodles arrive liberally sprinkled with sesame, while guoyouru laghman features chewy noodles and tender strips of beef — overall a destination built for carbs and carnivores." - Edward Hart
