Food was delicious. Wonderful place to have a slower lunch during a weekday. All their noodle options were terrific, and every dish tasted amazing.
The food at any of Eerkin’s locations is amazing and reliable. The dishes are large and plenty of food for 1-2 people, and the lamb is amazing. The hand pulled noodles are always worth the drive, but they also deliver which is great! The spring rolls are fresh and everything actually tasted amazing. This location seems to have new owners so the mint lemonade wasn’t what were used to, but the service was very friendly and of course we will be back!👍🏽👍🏽
Uyghur is such a unique cuisine style and it is worth coming to this location specifically. Big fan of this spot - the portions are perfect to order family style so you can try different dishes.
The traditional laghman - homemade and goyro - are both so great. It’s a noodle based dish with veggies and meat. I also recommend the dumplings - they’re made with different spices than any other dumplings I’ve had. The lamb skewers were unreal. We ordered two full orders of them.

Very happy that Eerkin's survived 2020 and even expanded out to Rockville in place of awfully-run Amici Miei. Now, unique flavors aside, this place makes kebabs JUST like I remember from my childhood, and all the Russian spots around just couldn't nail the flavor I remember like Eerkin's did! Rest of the story is on my blog.
Stoped by for appetizers only and sat outside. We had hummus and pita bread, and Uyghur Salad. The salad was pretty good and tasted authentic. Hummus tasted like it was made at the restaurant (not store bought).
The outside seating isn’t too appealing. Lost of traffic going down the road and lots of cars parking for other restaurants’ food pick up, so I would recommend sitting inside. We did peek at the interior and it’s beautifully decorated and looks authentic.
The prices were on the high end. Appetizers are about $12, main courses are starting at $19 and up.
Parking is difficult to find. We parked all the way by the Russian Embassy and walked down.
Nice Uyghur restaurant serving delicious food. Should definitely try their lamb shank. The sauce on the shank was also very very good. Their special noodle is also tasty with nice aroma. Decorations are original and adds an atmosphere to the place. When you are in the area go and try Uyghur food there.
Don't know why this isn't rated higher. The food is so so tasty and comforting. I didn't try the tea service but they looked to have some great options.
I will be coming back for noodle dishes for sure. The chow mein soup came recommended and was a surprise... very good! Can't wait to come back for more of the menu.
And the wife and (primary chef?) She's so kind. Give this place a visit.
Definitely one of the most authentic Uyghur places in the US. Their poluo is the best I've had on the East coast. Bring a hoodie or order some tea from their huge selection because it gets a bit cold inside. Can't wait to visit DC again just to eat here!
I wish I could give this place 10 stars because of Van, the waitress. She is great! Quick, cordial, considerate. These qualities are rarity these days in waiters/waitresses most of whom think they are entitled to tips without providing excellent service.
Van knows when a customer is running out of napkins. In most places you need beg for extra napkins and wait.
I usually go to Eerkin's - whether in Fairfax or DC - to eat gam bian soman. "Bostan" makes it too but Eerkins' is exceptional. Delicious sambosa (samsa) too.
Eerkin's in DC is cozy and beautifully decorated too.
Highly recommending it.
The best Uyghur restaurant in North Virginia. Good location and very cozy place. Kebab was so soft. Another meals were also delicious. I recommend Laghman , Samsa and Chop fried Soman. I tried honey cake. It was like from my homeland.
