Hanren Street Maimaiti Aji Restaurant
Xinjiang's mixed noodles come in dozens of varieties, with the most popular being the oily meat mixed noodles. Originating from Shanxi, the oily meat has been transformed through Xinjiang's fusion, with the addition of tomatoes and onions, creating a unique flavor that does not detract from the deliciousness mixed in the noodles. The mixed noodles at Hanren Street Maimaiti Aji Restaurant are quite good and worth a visit.
Hometown BBQ Restaurant
Located near Xinhua Bookstore, the long-established Hometown BBQ Restaurant leans towards the style of southern Xinjiang. Every time you go, it's always full of locals. There is no menu; a skewer with a naan is enough to fill you up, and the taste is also very good.
Ailiba Farmhouse Barbecue
A place specializing in red willow kebabs, there is an Ailiba Farmhouse Barbecue on Guangming Street, 5 yuan per skewer, and the taste is quite good.
Yi Chi Xiang Mian Fei Zi
Every place has a 'dark cuisine' that locals love and outsiders dislike, and in Yining, it's Mian Fei Zi. But once you try it, you'll fall in love with it.
Aishajiang Thin-Skin Bun Restaurant
Xinjiang has many types of buns, thin-skin buns are similar to pan-fried buns, but my favorite is still the roasted bun. Made with half-fat, half-lean lamb and onions as filling, it is folded like a piece of origami into a square shape and stuck to the wall of the oven to roast. Freshly roasted buns taste amazing!
Ainina Ren Fast Food Restaurant
Kazakh herders' Naren is a type of noodle that is very popular among herders, similar to hand-pulled lamb with noodles. It may not sound special, but it is a delicacy among herders.
