"Created in emulation of a diner, this restaurant surprised the East Village last year with Xinjiang food from China’s far northwest. Expect lots of lamb, as fatty kebabs and rice pilaf, and the giant bulging dumplings the menu describes as “shumai,” plus the legendary big tray of chicken. For a pleasant vegetable experience, don’t miss the steamed eggplant with fresh garlic paste. Menu here. Order online." - Robert Sietsema, Eater Staff

"Like its predecessor Jiang Diner, this restaurant imagines itself as the Uyghur equivalent of an American diner, with main courses drawn from the cuisine’s canon of noodles, kebabs, and rice casseroles, plus Chinese-leaning side dishes such as wood-ear mushrooms and hot-and-sour cucumbers. Lamb ribs are a good choice for the former, and tofu and scallion for the latter." - Robert Sietsema

"Jiang's Kitchen's barbecued lamb ribs, part of a Restaurant Week promotion, featured a lean rack of ribs coated in dry spices and barbecued to a smoky, crispy crust with a soft layer of fat underneath. Extra cumin and hot pepper mix were provided on the side, along with dense, doughy bread." - Eater Staff

Never had halal hotpot before so I was very excited to try this restaurant. This is primarily a halal Chinese restaurant and hotpot is a secondary experience you can opt for. They bring a portable burner cooktop to your table and use that to heat up the hotpot base dish. There is a good assortment of proteins and vegetables to choose from. The spicy broth base and the chicken broth base were both delicious. The spicy broth was especially spicy but very flavorful. Service was great and pricing is reasonable for such a great hotpot experience. We also tried the sizzling cumin rice with shrimp, it was very good with a unique authentic flavor. The decor and design is relatively standard, nothing fancy. There is a good amount of seating space.

Absolutely fantastic experience at Jiang's Kitchen! From start to finish, the service was top-notch—attentive, friendly, and quick. The highlight, of course, was the food, which was nothing short of amazing. We indulged in a variety of dishes, and every single one was packed with flavor and perfectly prepared. The hot and sour cucumber was refreshing with the right amount of tang, and the diced crispy chicken with red peppers had a wonderful balance of heat and crunch. The sautéed lamb with cumin was beautifully spiced, and the lamb kebabs were tender and juicy. The Xinjiang noodle with traditional sauce and hand-rolled noodles was a standout—authentic and full of depth. The sautéed Shanghai bok choi added the perfect touch of greens, and the spicy dry pot chicken and lamb ribs brought all the heat we could ask for without overwhelming the dish. As a halal Chinese spot, Jiang's Kitchen truly nails the flavors and the quality. Every dish was flavorful, fresh, and perfectly cooked. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for delicious and authentic Chinese cuisine with exceptional service! Definitely a five-star experience.

We visited Jiang's Kitchen on a weekday evening and had a wonderful dining experience. Our group of four was seated right away and the staff was very friendly, offering helpful suggestions with the menu. We started with the steam beef shumai dumplings which were delicious and best enjoyed hot. For our main courses, we tried several dishes including the XinJiang Big Plate Chicken (without bones) served on a bed of noodles which was a standout. The fried noodles with spicy minced beef had great flavors and texture, while the beef with scallion offered some unique and interesting taste combinations. Everything on the menu is halal. The dishes were all well-prepared and satisfying, and we look forward to returning to try more.

I wanted to have Halal Chinese food after my afternoon walk in China town. Yes, not very close by, this place is more on east side ( as I was told) but it worth a visit. Everything is authentic, hand made noodle is out of this world, balanced spices and served very warm, unlike other places when it comes kinda less warm than it should be Actually, I am writing this review waiting my food to cool down a bit Price less than average

This is my first review here but second visit - and this place is just as great as it was the first time. Loved the unique flavors of Northwest Chinese cuisine, with ample portions, and it's halal! Ordered the... ✅ Xinjiang Big Plate Chicken - boneless (juicy, spicy, filled with veggies, and on a bed of noodles. Recommend this one!) ✅ Sauteed lamb with cumin (so cumin-y! Thought it came with rice, so got a side of that separately) ✅ Hot and sour cucumber salad (I LOVED this one - the dressing took everyday cukes to the next level!) Highlights: 1️⃣ There were a ton of people waiting for tables - a strong sign the place is GOOD! There were also plenty of kids so it seemed family friendly and good for groups. 2️⃣ The servers and staff were so kind and warm. The quoted wait time was pretty accurate! 3️⃣ If you need a prayer space, they've got you covered with a little nook in the back with a prayer rug to boot. Very, very thoughtful touch. Will be back again to try other dishes iA!

Beyond delicious food presented in beautiful, and large portions, all for a wonderfully low price! I was extremely impressed with Jiang's Kitchen and the food received. The restaurant was a bit crowded and it did take a bit for our order to be taken, but the meals were delivered quite promptly. The staff were extremely kind and friendly and ensured our meals were prepared and presented properly. I highly recommend this restaurant and will be returning in the future!

Amazing food and service. Very hard to find a halal Chinese restaurant. You won’t be disappointed. We had the cucumbers, soup, bread, and mushrooms to start. Followed by general tsos chicken, shrimp and sliced cumin chicken. The cumin chicken is a must try!
