Queen Amannisa at 320 23rd Street S in Crystal City was the first Uyghur restaurant to open in the metropolitan area. It specializes in several different versions of Lagman, with chopped, braised or minced lamb or chicken and combinations of peppers and other vegetables. Lagman is served with fresh hand-pulled noodles. The skill of the chef is measured in the length of the noodle that is created as the base of the dish. Owner Yimamu Maimaiti says Uyghur food represents a crossroads of Central Asia.
