Silk Road Tarim Uyghur Restaurant — Restaurant in Tokyo

All the dishes were in general good/delicious but this is my first time having Uyghur meal. We arrived at 12:09am at 12:53pm (an hour after—all our orders arrive at 1:10pm) we are still waiting for almost all our other orders. They mentioned pilaf will take time but all other orders took time. I guess this is good that they are really cooking only after ordering but it also takes so much of our time. The prices are not cheap here. You would think you’ll save more by ordering the courses but you’ll be better off ordering what you want but it’s really expensive I think. More expensive than even typical Japanese restaurants. The whole place smells of food, you will be smelling like Uyghur food because their kitchen doesn’t have proper air ventilation. The noodles seem to be homemade here so that is good. The thickness of the noodles differs so the taste also depends. The thicker noodles are still quite...

First time trying Uyghur food. Not too bad. Hand pull noodles are definitely the highlight. We ordered lamb’s tongue salad and lamb pastry as starters. They were great. I had never realised that lamb tongue could be so yummy. We then ordered a daipanji (big plate chicken) and a lamb pilaf for main. I heard a lot of microwave ‘ding’ sound going on and felt a bit disappointed. The chicken in the daipanji dish was not fresh. It was rather dry. Half a dish was just bell peppers. The lamb pilaf was not piping hot either. The meat, again, was dry. The portion size wasn’t really generous so we ordered a leghman (hand pull noodles in spicy sauce). It was the best main dish but, again, the meat was not fresh and a bit dry. Everything was flavourful but I felt quite thirsty after half an hour. Not sure if I would visit for the second time. The meal was about 5,000...

Ordered a tofu skin salad, stir fried black fungus and eggs w/ veggies, Uyghur noodles and some lamb skewers.

Maybe we were supposed to order something more Uyghur and not the generic Chinese dishes like tofu skin and black fungus, but the taste was average. As others have pointed out, it felt like they were using the same sauce for the stir-fries and the noodles. The tofu skin was too oily, and though I don’t mind the smell of lamb meat, the skewers weren’t seasoned enough. A bit overcooked too. Around 5,000 yen for 2 people - regarding the quality and quantity (they come in small portions) maybe a bit overpriced. I might give it one more try and order more Uyghur...
