I have never eaten Uyghur food, so I decided to try Dolan’s. I ordered two items and both were delicious!
Uyghur Polo: the rice tasted great and lamb was perfectly cooked, very tender. I would definitely order this again.
Manta (steamed dumplings): the dumplings are filled with beef and are very juicy. Topped with black pepper, which adds a nice flavor. I would order this again.
The service was good, the waiter was attentive. It’s very nice inside. Comfortable chairs. Clean bathroom.
I can’t wait to come back and try some new dishes!

Unique cuisine not found often. Love some lamb. Presentation was great and the loved the decor. Felt like we were in a tiny little tea ceremony.
Everything was seasoned well and cooked perfectly. Raisins inside the dishes were delightful and cut through the savory of the dish. Yogurt with honey fluffed so nicely and contained the perfect amount of honey ontop. Will be returning to discover more of the menu.

We recently visited Central Asia (included Kyrgyzstan & Uzbekistan ) and thought that we would have to travel if we were to ever eat their cuisine (samsa, manti, Lagman, plov, more) ever again.
My ignorance mistook this place as another kebab joint for the longest time. & Though they have those too, they have all of the above & more!
The restaurant is clean and beautifully decorated, it looked very similar to a nicer restaurant we ate at in Bishkek.
We enjoyed all of our dishes: Uyghur polo, Lagman, manta. All were as flavorful and memorable to our meals from our trip. I especially liked the chewy texture of the Lagman noodles.
I also ordered braised eggplant and liked that a lot.
The service we had was very good, authentic even, our waiter provided that he’s originally from Kyrgyzstan. Our food came out quickly. I just noted for the size of this place, there were only 2 waiters on a Sunday night. Should the place fill to capacity, they would need more help.
Our little family of 4 (kids 6 & 10) had a great dinner and we’ll be back! My attached pictures don’t do justice for presentation since we all tore into the food quickly and didn’t think to take any pictures at first.

This was our first time trying a Uyghur restaurant. The Uyghur Polo and Manta were really delicious — definitely highlights. We didn’t enjoy the tea and desserts as much, but we would absolutely come back for the food other than that.

A pretty cool concept right in the heart of Irvine — and somehow it’s been here for two years while I was busy living under a rock. The varied food reminds me somewhat of a Uzbek vibe, and everything tastes good, until the meat shows up, I wish it were a bit juicier. Perhaps we all know that lamb can be juicy. Still, I’ll probably return — apparently, I enjoy culinary plot twists.

I was so excited when I heard the news that they opened a Dolan’s in Irvine at the corner of Culver and Walnut. We have picked up takeout from the Alhambra location multiple times and have always enjoyed their Uyghur dishes. We visited during Irvine’s soft opening a year ago and left disappointed, so we did not make a return visit until a year later. Service was courteous and friendly, but it was a hot day out and the dining area did not feel adequately air conditioned. Instead of serving ice water, we were given glasses of lukewarm water. It’s not a good experience to sweat and perspire when you’re trying to enjoy a meal.
The Goshnaan and the Plate Chicken are still my fave dishes from their menu. Cucumber with Garlic was a nice and healthier addition to our meal. We also tried the Spicy Rice Noodle and Hand Cut Stir Fried Noodle, but both dishes were disappointing and bland. There has been noticeable improvement since their soft opening, but they still have a ways to go to catch up to their sister restaurant in Alhambra.

I’ve been here probably about 10 times now, I would give 6 stars if I could. Normally I’m pretty critical in my reviews, but I’ve never had such unique and tasty food as I have had here. I could eat their 大盘鸡 every day. The lamb skewers are also unmatched. Their special tea is great too; at first I was like “wow, a little pricey”, but it was absolutely worth it. The staff is great, the food is great, and I love eating here.

The food was too salty—there was no flavor other than salt. The lamb skewers are very dry.not juicy at all, on top of that. The service was poor; the waitresses never came to ask what we needed or how’s everything, you have to yell at them to get the service. I was very disappointed for what I paid.

Dolan’s Uyghur Cuisine in Irvine offers a unique and authentic experience that’s definitely worth checking out. The tea stood out the most—aromatic, rich, and full of flavor. You can tell they put care into that part of the meal.
As for the food, it was good—simple, hearty, and satisfying—but it didn’t quite blow me away. The flavors were mild, and while it was enjoyable overall, I was expecting a bit more complexity or depth.
One thing to note is the pricing—it’s on the higher side for the portion sizes, which felt a bit underwhelming. Still, it’s a solid spot if you’re curious about Uyghur cuisine or want something different from the usual options in Irvine.

What a great find. There are a few Uyghur restaurants around San Gabriel Valley, but this one by far it’s the best I’ve tried. The taste was not overpowering, yet you can taste the different flavors vividly. Next time, I need to bring more friends to try its Big Plate Chicken. Better yet, I need to round up 30-40 of my best friends and come here for its Baked Whole Lamb. It looks so good on the menu. I was told that each lamb is about 30-40 pounds each. The service was friendly and attentive. The sitting area was clean and comfortable. Highly recommended.
Update: rounded up a few family members and came here for its Big Plate Chicken. It was excellent as it was perfected spices and the chicken was tender. Tried its skewers as well and they were better than those we were getting from other local eateries.
