Happened to go to this place twice in three weeks with two very different experiences. I would consider myself a big fan of XinJiang food and was pleased with my first visit (small group, outdoors and no show). The food on this visit was on par with some of the better XinJiang restaurants I've visited in the city. I particularly enjoyed the DaPanJi and some of the cold dishes (cucumber, peanuts, etc). None of this is particularly "difficult" cuisine to pull off but based on the dinner I considered the restaurant a solid choice in the GongTi area.

That experience however was sadly forgotten based on the second dinner. This dinner (12 person group, indoors, during the show) made me think otherwise. First the food came out FAST, as in minutes after ordering. I did not consider this a positive as the quality of the dishes were significantly lower than the first visit. I seriously wondered whether everything was pre-made and sitting there for who knows how long... Spices were generally off, bread either barely toasted or burnt beyond recognition. Just as far from the first visit as possible in terms of quality. Even the DingDing ChaoMian, a dish that probably is as basic as it comes in these restaurants, tasted "off".

With these two very different reviews I think the decision of whether to eat here would depend on whether you're interested in paying a premium for at best solid XinJiang food and a show over going to another more consistent restaurant with lower costs (especially in terms of beer/wine).
