China Islamic Restaurant

My family has been eating here since the time of the previous owner who came from Taiwan decades ago. In the past, the place is mostly known for its sesame naan (芝麻大餅) as well as halal stir fry. The new owner from Lanzhou, however, brought with him the amazing hand pulled noodles commonly seen in Northwestern China. The chili oil noodles (油潑麵) and knife cut noodles (刀削麵) are both worth trying, and I hope he would include more noodle dishes in the future

I can’t complain anything about the food, it was good. But, Owner was very rude. He does not seem to know of how to make the patron happy. He charged us 18% of gratitude without telling us about it before sitting us. He did not come to our table to find out if we are happy with the food or if we needed anything else such as water or any extra dishes. Once I got the bill, I gave him positive feed back about his food. And , then I told him “don’t you think we deserve to have a bit better service since you charged us service charge”. he was not happy about my statement and told us that if I was trying to teach him about how to run his business. I found it strange that he is running a restaurant and shows negative attitude toward his patrons who are his blessing for business, I mean to make money.

Ordered three flavor chow mein which included shrimp and pan fried lamb dumplings 6/29/2022 @7:50pm. The lamb dumplings were under cooked and the shrimp was SPOILED! I would usually let this roll off my back because this is a Halal restaurant, but the chef not only endangered my wife and I. This chef endangered my SON! I will no longer patronize this establishment. I was going to call and complain, but I figured instead of being upset and giving off any negative energy to the other person on the phone; I will just leave a review in case the manager wonders why I don't come there anymore. I was a regular that ordered crispy duck and the pan fried lamb dumplings that always left a tip even if it was takeout. It is a shame because I have been coming here since 2009 if I remember correctly and 13 years of patronage has ended because of a careless chef. The quickest way to lose business is to endanger a man's family. Writing this review probably hurts me more than it hurts them and it really is a shame.
