Restoran Al Amin Xinjiang — Restaurant in Petaling Jaya

So many good reviews and high rating. Must explore and try. Ajak a friend to join for lunch so that more items can be ordered.

The setup is simple and clean. It's aircond with fans on and the temperature is just right. Unlike some Chinese restaurants max the Aircon macam forcing the customers to put on the winter jacket.

Menu is simple and not too lengthy. Garlic lamb is a pleasant surprise when served. Though it will be tough but it's not. Still tender inside with a 50-50 lamb and garlic flavour. The lamb in stick is lagi surprise. it's not bbq but roasted. the cumin and spices coated are roasted till crunchy and go well with the lamb. Will be great if iced cold beer is served. For dumpling and fried bun, you can skip. It's not bad nor not memorable. Normal stuff to fill the tummy loh. So don't waste the space. The hawthorn drink, suggest one just order a jug lah. You will know why when you look at the price tag per glass. It's refreshing and nice.

Overall, it's a good lunch and...

Third, nobody in xinjiang or the other muslim noodle shop cook their dishes with garlic. Usually they serve the garlic fresh & unpeeled on the table. The restaurant maybe run by xinjiang people but the food they serve has lost their authenticity.

Will I come back? No. Will I recommend to my friends? Absolutely not.

My 2stars are for effort, and their struggle selling their effort in a...

Been here a few times before. The food has always been relatively good, but it is always salty, sometimes a bit too salty. So today when ordered the oiled meat noodles and big plate chicken set for takeaway, i specifically said less salt and less spicy. But when i got back to have it, Ya Allah..., masin peghak! It is soooo salty it literally gave me a headache. It seems that the cook just loves his salt! And it was not less spicy at all but even spicier then usual.

Will not go back. The amount of salt used in the dishes is just too crazy. And would not recommend anyone who has high blood pressure to come. The moment you eat, it will definitely raise your...
