Uyghur Lagman House

I spent two years teaching English in Aksu and three years teaching English in Ghulja (right up until the government there decided they didn't want any foreign witnesses to what was happening)... I miss it so much. When I heard there's finally a Uyghur restaurant in Philly, we drove an hour from the other side of the metro area just to try it... And we were NOT disappointed! I'm very picky about toxu qorumisi / dapanji / "big plate chicken" because everyone makes it different and it's hard to find a really good one even over there... But the one here is VERY! It reminds me of my favorite restaurant in Ghulja! The only part that's a little off is that the noodles served with it are pulled a little too thin for my liking, whereas dapanji that I'm familiar with is served with wide, thick, "belt noodles," which is one my favorite parts of the experience, but that's a minor discrepancy. You can be assured that the noodles here are really hand-pulled which makes all the difference. And the portion sizes are very generous! We also ordered lempeng, which was very good, too! Yeyishlik (delicious)! It's definitely worth the trip for me and I look forward to returning again. I hope lots of other people enjoy it as well! Rehmet, Uyghur Lagman House!

Don’t listen to the internet haters. We had the big plate chicken (huge portion) special lagman, Qorma lagman and the pearl noodles. The food was fantastic and very authentic. The wait was not as bad as others say, the manager came out to greet us and explained everything is freshly made on the same day (this goes for everything that is on the plate). The atmosphere is very nice with Uyghur music playing, restaurant is very clean and waiters are friendly. Definitely the best central Asian restaurant in this area. Highly recommend to come try this place out!

The lagman is incredibly tasty — rich broth, tender meat, and perfectly chewy noodles. You can tell it’s homemade and authentic. Just keep in mind that the service is very slow — we had to wait about 20–30 minutes for our food. If you’re not in a hurry, it’s definitely worth the wait.

We stopped by this place while visiting Lancaster, PA. Their food and their service is top notch. Their lagman is authentic uyghur style. I loved every dish we ordered. The interior of the store is calming and cozy. This Uyghur restaurant is a hidden gem in PA. I pray for them to prosper and thrive. We will definitely recommend this place and spread the word to other travelers.

First time trying Uyghur food and I’m honestly blown away. Uyghur Lagman House is a hidden gem! The hand-pulled lagman noodles were the star of the show—chewy, flavorful, and soaked up the rich, savory sauce perfectly. I also tried the lamb kebabs and they were super juicy with just the right amount of spice. Everything tasted homemade and authentic, and you can tell there’s a lot of love in the cooking. The portions are generous, the prices are fair, and the staff made me feel right at home. If you’ve never had Uyghur cuisine before, this is the place to start. I’m already planning my next visit.

Saw the notes from instagram for reservations if you are planning to dine in due to they are just opening in few days, the kitchen is busy and try to improve the food quality control, they are rejecting the walk in customers for now. The food is good and fresh made, the owner and employee are nice and friendly. give them a chance to try on, you don’t disappointed.

Great restaurant with authentic Uyghur food! Just a heads-up—they recently opened and can get very busy during Ramadan and iftar hours. From what I understand, they’re actively working on improving service quality and logistics, so a little patience goes a long way. Give them a chance, and you won’t be disappointed!

Had a great experience last night. I loved their food, very delicious flavors. I tried Korima noodles, and the noodles are hand pulled. The staff was welcoming. Loved the ambiance, and I was very impressed by the artwork on their walls (woven carpet). If you like Thai food, you should definitely try this place because the flavors are similar to Thai food.

Had the house Lagman, the big chicken plate (Da Pan Ji), and the Samsa. Everything was great. Very nice ambience and very attentive service.
