Come as two, stay until midnightInduction pots at every seat and a room that does not rush you.
The experience
A long dinner is the point
You choose the broth. You cook at your own pace. Someone always fishes out the last beef ball and pretends they did not.
The room is built for that: comfortable booths, induction pots at every seat, and a self-serve area for vegetables, noodles and sauces so nobody has to wait. More than a meal, Otluk is a place where friends and family gather, share authentic Uyghur flavours, and create memories around every pot.
Come as two, come as ten, stay until we close at midnight.
Our sauce bar is not a row of squeeze bottles. Pick a base, stack aromatics, decide how much heat you actually want, then finish it. Try a combination here, then build the same bowl at the counter when you arrive.
Start with a base pick one
This decides the texture. Sesame is thick and coating, soy and vinegar is thin and sharp.
Add aromatics as many as you like
Where the Uyghur kitchen shows up. Toasted cumin is the one most people miss.
Set the heat pick one
Be honest with yourself. You can always go back for more.
Finish it as many as you like
A spoon of your own broth is the one thing that ties the whole bowl together.
Six bases, no packets
The broth decides the meal
Every base is built in the kitchen from whole spices and simmered before service. One is included with all you can eat and with every combo. Ask for half and half and you get two.
Cumin Mala
孜然麻辣锅
The house signature. Uyghur cumin arrives first, warm and earthy, then the Sichuan heat catches up behind it.

Mala Chili Oil
麻辣清油锅
Clear rendered chili oil rather than tallow. Numbing and bright, and it stays light over a long dinner.

Spicy Beef Tallow
麻辣牛油锅
The deep one. Beef tallow carries the spice further into everything you cook in it.

The room on Oakdale Road, before the evening rush.
Cut this morningAAA beef and lamb go through our own slicer, never out of a box.
Culinary heritage
What makes it Uyghur
Uyghur cooking sits where Central Asia meets China: lamb and beef over pork, cumin and chili over sweetness, bread and noodles at the centre of the table.
Hot pot in this kitchen picks up the same habits. The cumin mala base is the clearest example, warm and earthy from cumin before the chili arrives. The stir-fried chicken with potatoes comes straight from the Uyghur home table.
Nobody eats Uyghur food alone, and nobody should eat hot pot alone either.
Half and half, at a boilBeef, sliced this morningThe self-serve barBooth 10, a Friday
All you can eat, every day
One price and the whole table eats
Your soup base is included. Go back to the self-serve bar for vegetables and noodles until everyone gives up. Meats are not included in all you can eat and are ordered separately from the menu.
First properly halal hot pot we have found in the north end. The cumin base is not like anything else in the city and the staff walked us through the sauce bar.
Came with six people on a Friday and stayed nearly three hours. Nobody rushed us. The lamb is the thing to order.
All you can eat is genuinely good value and the self-serve bar is kept properly stocked. Parking on site made it easy.
Half tomato, half mala so the kids had something too. Handmade beef balls were the surprise of the night.
Before you come

If it is not here, call us. Someone in the restaurant will pick up.
Yes. All meat we serve is halal, including beef, lamb and chicken. There is no separate menu and nothing on the table to check.
How does all you can eat work?
Pick your soup base, then help yourself at the self-serve bar as many times as you like. Meats are not included in all you can eat and are ordered separately from the menu. $34.99 for adults, $29.99 for seniors, $19.99 for children aged 6 to 14.
