Food 2

  1. Grilled marinated lamb chops Net −1

  2. Mutton dim sum Net −1
    “but the reason why I am giving three stars is because we ordered mutton dim sum and the wrapper was thick and chewy felt like the wrapper didn't get steamed well the meat had absolutely no flavor to it and when we complained and told them we didn't want it as it wasn't good they said we will still need to pay for it even though we didn't want to take it home pictures.”

Tips for a Better Visit

1

Request spice. Ask for extra spice with the fried noodles if you want a stronger chilli flavour.

2

Order samsa early. Samsa may take time to prepare, so order it early rather than adding it at the end.

The Bottom Line

Zam Zam Suyi is a strong pick in International City for Uyghur and western Chinese food, especially if hand-pulled noodles are the reason for your visit. The beef lagman, chicken mince noodles and Da Pan Ji Ban Mian all receive specific praise, while the lamb-and-onion baked buns are repeatedly described as crisp, juicy and exceptional. Shashlik, samsa, manti and pilov give groups plenty to explore beyond noodles.

Portions are often described as generous, with reviewers saying there was enough takeaway to last for days and that dishes worked well for sharing. The restaurant also suits diners new to the cuisine: servers have patiently explained the menu and helped guests choose unfamiliar dishes. Complimentary tea is a recurring touch, and the setting has been described as cosy, clean and suitable for families.

Free street parking was reported nearby. There are a few reasons to order carefully. One takeaway customer received only one kebab instead of two, while another reported careless packing.

Lamb chops can become chewy when cold, and samsa may take time to prepare. Ask for extra spice if you want real chilli heat, and request noodles and sauce separately for takeaway. Price feedback is mixed: one recent regular reported higher prices and smaller portions.
