My son’s first time trying Uyghur food. Started off with the Tiger Salad and Manta. 🥗🥟
Spicy fried noodles. So good. 🌶
Also ordered the lamb soup and the lamb skewers aka my late night street food of choice during my years in Shanghai. 🔥
“Dolan’s owner, Bughra Arkin, came to the United States to study international public policy and management at USC before veering into the restaurant business.”

I’m also glad I got to meet the owner tonight. He came over to take our order and I let him know that I was moved by his story.
His story is worth a read and his food is amazing and worth the trip out to the 626 to support his business and family. ❤️

“For Arkin, food is his medium to convey his sense of cultural autonomy, and he hopes that while people enjoy the flavors of his hometown that they could also educate themselves on the grim realities of modern Uyghur culture.”

“I can’t believe these noodles are only $13, I would pay $30.”
My teenager loved the Uyghur food last night and he would spend more of my money to eat it. lol
