[...] waxed poetically before about this exceedingly popular Xinjiang restaurant before, and this time around I was lucky enough [...]

I can report that the food is indeed delicious (and the yogurt especially so), even more so than the Xinjiang Restaurant on Yi Shan Lu. The environment was disappointing though: a sort of Xinjiang Disneyland–Han Chinese in kitschy dress, squished tables, and blaring music. And yes, I was punished (and I do mean punished) by the promised belly dancing. The Yi Shan Lu location is run and staffed by Uighurs (who prefer to speak English over Mandarin) and has a far more welcoming and authentic environment.

looks tasty, especially the yogurt! have you been to the one on Yi Shan lu, Xinjiang Fengwei Restaurant? if so, how does it compare? in any case, i’ll try this one for sure as i’ve far too often been subjected to the promised belly dancing (as well as dragged on stage) at the other one.

Xinjiang is a predominantly Uighur province, so yes, they’re Muslim. Not too strict though–the beer flows freely (no pork though).

are they Muslims? what is it with Muslims and making really good food across tons of different cultures? (not to stereotype or anything)
