We dropped in for lunch today and it definitely lived up to its ratings. Had been eager to try out XinJiang food for a while and the food was excellent. Absolutely loved the lamb on noodles and the lamb buns. The skewers were good too. The chicken with Nan was good too but the star was definitely the lamb on noodles. Would love to visit again to try out more dishes

Very very delicious and amazing!! Will be coming back for sure. The moment I walked in I was taken away by the delicious smell of the food and when our food came they were top notch and exceeded our expectations! They are also 100% halal so that was another thing which we loved! Definitely worth trying definitely worth it!

Really great Xinjiang food! The naan bread comes out hot and crispy, with juicy, flavorful lamb inside. The handmade noodles are also tasty with a nice chewy texture. And definitely try their homemade yogurt, so good!

If you like lamb, this is a the place to try. The noddles are cooked to perfection, the lamb is roasted and seasoned well and the yogurt made in house?! Yeah, amazing but don’t forget to bring your lactaid tabs if you need them. Who am I kidding?!? It’s so good, you’ll forget you’re lactose intolerant! But seriously, bring those tabs, it’ll be a better experience overall.

Located at the Range 99 plaza, so happy finally there’s a Chinese northwestern style restaurant in the Seattle area. We had lamb rice (手抓飯), lamb skewers, and lamb soups. All are delicious – will be back again!

Seattle’s Halal food scene just got a big boost with the arrival of Wild Cumin, a restaurant serving all Halal food inside Great Wall Mall in Kent, specializing in Xinjiang cuisine–a unique style of Chinese Muslim cooking originating from the Northwestern region of China, also known as Uyghur cuisine.

While many are familiar with other Chinese culinary traditions like Sichuan, Hunan, or Cantonese etc, Wild Cumin is introducing Greater Seattle to the distinct flavors of Xinjiang for the first time. I was excited yet kept my expectations in check since not all Chinese cuisines align with my tastes, but this experience blew me away with bold flavors and mouthwatering dishes.

Star of the show: Hot and Spicy Pot

Steller dish! Totally won over me.
I chose the chicken version, which featured bone-in chicken cooked to tender perfection in a tomato-based broth seasoned with cumin, chili, green peppers, onions, and roasted potatoes. The dish also included hand-pulled flat noodles and the chicken soaked up all the flavors beautifully. The marriage of flavor was impressive, with just the right level of heat for someone who isn’t used to very spicy food.

Other highlights:

Lamb Skewers (Kebab)

The lamb skewers were grilled to perfection with a robust cumin seasoning, delivering a deliciously smoky flavor. These tender bites were packed with taste and incredibly satisfying.

Xinjiang Salad

This refreshing starter included a mix of tomatoes, cucumbers, cilantro, green peppers, vinegar, sesame oil, olive oil, and a hint of sugar, making for a crisp, flavorful combination that was a perfect appetizer.

Lamb Noodle Soup

The Lamb Noodle Soup was a hearty large bowl filled with the rich flavors of lamb, fresh green onions, and hand-pulled thin noodles. The broth was well-seasoned and comforting, with a satisfying depth of flavor from the lamb and spices.

Xinjiang stuffed Naan

This dish features reshly baked Uyghur-style dough stuffed with tender, spiced lamb leg meat, onions, and potatoes. The naan dough had a crispy crust on the outside, and all the aroma from fesh baking, while the inside was moist, thanks to the juices from the meat. The combination of flavors was delicious, and the hearty filling made it a satisfying choice. I’d love it even more with slightly less lean meat for an extra juicy bite.

Roasted Beef Bun

The Roasted Beef Bun was another highlight, featuring freshly baked bread filled with spiced, roasted beef. This was a bit on the drier side. I would have liked it a bit softer and juicier. but seemed that it was popular among others 🙂

Xinjiang Naan

The Xinjiang Naan was a thick, freshly baked bread topped with sesame seeds. It was delicious when dipped in sauces or soups, adding a nice touch of flavor and texture to the meal. Or even with the skewer.

Clear Soup

The clear soup was a light, broth-based dish featuring herbs and lamb meat, offering a milder option without heavy spices. While I enjoyed it, adding chili sauce elevated the experience. Try it only if you love very mild meat soup.

I also tried the exotic version of the soup with lamb offal ( stomach , kidney ). Well …. not my cup of tea, but if you are into it , give it a try.

Setting and Atmosphere

The restaurant itself was beautifully decorated with motifs representing Xinjiang’s landscapes, mosques, camels, and traditional food. The ambiance reflected the essence of the region, and even the servers wore some signs of traditional attire. The chef has his background in Xinjiang. I visited during midday on a Sunday, and the restaurant stayed busy for hours.

Final Thoughts:

It’s now one of my favorite spots, and I’m already looking forward to my next visit! Thanks to the owners for introducing the Chinese Xingjian cuisine to Seattle !

* I can’t vouch how authentic Xinjiang style they are , but whatever it is, loved it 🙂

* It’s Seattle’s biggest Asian mall with ranch 99, so combine your grocery and shopping trip. also there are many other asian restaurants in the premises

This place blew me away. I took a chance on it in a whim. The food was unbelievable. We were seated immediately by an extremely friendly waitress. I got the lamb and noodle soup, with a side of lamb ofal. Un. Freaking. Real. Absolutely delectable. The waitress was just awesome. Super friendly, attentive and conversational. Everything tasted fresh, which it likely was due to the proximity to the 99 Ranch Market. They have a nice, concise menu, makes it easy to choose. I will absolutely be returning.

Food was good but on the salty side (beef bread was very salty). We didn’t get any water refilled and had to go to casher to get check/paid so service wasn’t great but automatically selected tip for 18% when I paid Also, I told them the discount code but I don’t think it was added.

New place and 1st time trying XinJiang food. This is a Halal restaurant, and the noodles are hand-pulled.

Ordered the beef and lamb XinJiang Naan (meet inside) or type of “samosas”. Stir-dry beef noodle soup and chicken noodles.

They were all very tasty with unique middle-eastern type flavors. Cumin flavor is quite pronounced. The noodles were chewy and fresh. Seasoning was on point without any additional salt. The means were tender and flavorful. All at a reasonable price.

There was only 1 server, and she was running all over the place in a packed restaurant. But we didn’t have to wait long for anything and answered all our questions patiently. What a great service.
