Tarim Garden Xinjiang Cuisine

Generous portions and bold flavors. The beef noodles were especially delicious with rich savory juice that left a lasting impression. The nang was crunchy and paired well with the lamb and cumin. Waiting time is a bit long, it is freshly prepared after all. Worth the wait.

As someone who had never tried Xinjiang food before, I had been recommended by a friend that it was very good. I saw this restaurant advertised as being authentic and I knew I had to give it a try. I ordered the Beef Laghman to go. The food was prepared extremely quickly despite noticing the restaurant was packed when I arrived on a Thursday evening. And the food was phenomenal. The noodles had to be the freshest I had ever had, and the sauce for the beef was delicious. Not too spicy, though I see they have plenty of other spicy dishes if that’s your thing, and an ample portion. Beef was excellent. Suffice to say I’ll be back!

Tarim Garden impressed me with its delicious, well-seasoned dishes and The fried dumplings were amazing—crispy on the outside, juicy and flavorful inside. Easily one of the best I've had! excellent service. The staff were friendly and attentive, making the whole experience enjoyable. It's definitely worth a visit!

I ordered the Cumin Lamb with Naan and the Garlic Bok Choy. The Lamb with Naan is unusual and delicious. The lamb was juicy, bursting with flavor, and paired perfectly with the naan. If the naan were slightly more delicate, with a crispier exterior and a softer, moister interior, I’d easily give it six stars! The Garlic Bok Choy was outstanding too. It's remarkably complex in flavor for such a simple stir-fry. I returned today and tried the Beef Laghman, which also impressed. The dish had pieces of tenderized beef, a rich savory sauce, and fat, chewy noodles. During the meal I didn’t notice any spiciness, but afterwards my tongue was a bit numb, like I had eaten Sichuan peppercorn—yet I couldn’t detect any peppercorns in this dish! Whatever chili pepper they used, it’s magical. Tarim Garden brings flavors to the Bay Area that many of us might never otherwise get to experience!

tarim garden made me believe in love the laghman is so toothsome and dreamy. i have dreamt of returning many times. the cucumber salad too..... somehow very garlicky without leaving my breath stinky and/or smelly. i am always happy when i come here (i am typically a very sad person). i think the staff may be sick of me. they have been vigilant about hiding that, though. update: i eat here almost weekly if not monthly and it is always so awesome and good and delicious

I went to Tarim Garden at a weekday lunch. So the service is not as bad as my friend told me. The spicy fried rice noodles is so authentic (I ask for extra hot). I ordered it online every few weeks, very addicted to the super spicy sauce. The spicy chicken is also beyond my expectations, after finish it, we add one more noodle for the flavor. This restaurant is good for it’s flavor, but receive a lot complaints about the service, the waiting time, and the infra there.

The menu is not so rich, but it is enough for choices. My favorite is the fried Nan with mutton, the sac is crispy on the outside, the mutton is tender and fragrant. The noodles are freshly ground and quite chewy. I feel it would be better with a bit spicy for the authentic flavor.

The taste is very authentic. Mixed noodles, pilaf, and spicy chicken are all authentic Xinjiang flavors. I will always support this restaurant.
