2. Chuanwei Wang
$ | |You can often tell a good restaurant by the lack of empty tables; at mealtimes, this Sichuanese eatery is always packed.

3. Jalawan
$ | |It's very easy to join the crowds of locals relaxing at this local Uyghur restaurant, especially underneath the (admittedly) fake trellises of grapes around a fountain. The staff will hand you an English-language menu whose prices are a few yuan higher than on the Chinese-language menu, but when it's all so cheap, you can't complain too much.
Seman Lu, Kashgar, Xinjiang Uygur Zizhiqu, 844000, ChinaKnown For
