First off - its not the first Xinjiang restaurant I visit in my life, and not even the second one. After several years spent in Mainland I`ve been to various Xinjiang places, from shabby to decent ones, and tried lamb skewers(羊肉串儿), pilaf (手抓饭) and mutton dumplings (羊肉饺子) multiple times. I did not make a booking, so when I arrived the place was full. I was offered to wait for about 50 minutes or sit outside first, which I chose to do.

I did not make a booking, so when I arrived the place was full. I was offered to wait for about 50 minutes or sit outside first, which I chose to do. I have no problem with waiting or sitting outside, but the waiter in his 40s met me with a face expression as if I ruined his life. Excuse me, how is meeting the clients with a grumpy cat expression is hospitality?
I sat outside, they swiped the chairs and table for me and switched the fan on, but did not offer me a glass of tap water or anything. When my friend arrived and we started to order I was simply pissed off. For a simple question about the size of a lamb skewer I received a whole tirade, my question was not answered, but the lady (the manager I assume) rushed us to order and stated that 30 hkd per skewer is a cheap, cheap, cheap price and hurry up until we have them. Is this a restaurant or a hawkers bazar? I hate when the staff rushes you to order, can`t reply questions or blabs about how filthy cheap their prices are. Its not my first day in Asia , so stop keeping me for a complete idiot.
So we finally ordered mutton dumplings, sour spicy shredded potato, lamb skewers and yoghurt drinks.
Shredded potatoes were okay, not sour enough to my own taste, but generally okay made, not overcooked yet not too raw.
Mutton dumplings were great! The best dish put of three, all cooked perfectly, non of them were falling apart.
As for the swekers, they were too fatty. They left an impression of finely chopped lamb, pressed together and put on a skewer, not separate pieces of meat. Probably it just seemed so, yet the taste of these skewers was not brilliant - mediocre, to say the least. I can barely imagine how this is their hottest and most demanded dish.
Yoghurt drinks were good, thick and not too sweet or sour, going great with mutton.
As a conclusion, I can say that you should go to this place only in case you have never ever been to a decent Xinjiang place before and have no idea what their food tastes like or if you live close to Ba Yi, as it doesn`t worth coming here from Kowloon. Personally I am not looking forward for coming back.
