Short answer
On a first visit, most people build a meal from one noodle or rice main, a few skewers and a baked snack. Lagmen, polo, kabab and goshnan are the dishes the restaurant is described as known for.
The Bostan Uyghur Cuisine menu is built around noodles, rice, grilled skewers and baked breads, so a first order is easy to put together from four or five items. This page is an independent guide and takes no orders. It uses the restaurant’s online ordering page, read in November 2026, and the prices below are online ordering prices as of that month.
What are the signature dishes?
A published profile of the restaurant names lagmen, polo, kababs and goshnan as the dishes it is known for. All four appear on the ordering page, so they make a sensible first list.
| Dish | What it is | Online price |
|---|---|---|
| Bostan special Lagmen | Stir-fried beef with cabbage, peppers, chive flowers and black mushrooms over house-made wheat noodles | $17.99 |
| Uyghur Style Polo | Rice, onion, carrot and lamb cooked in layers in a cast-iron kazan | $18.99 |
| Lamb Kabab per skewer | Chopped lamb with black pepper, egg, cumin and the house sauce | $5.99 |
| Goshnan | A stuffed flatbread with beef, black pepper and sweet onion | $12.25 |
How do you build a meal for one?
For one person, a single main is usually enough. Pick a noodle dish if you want something savory and chewy, or the polo if you prefer rice. Add one or two skewers on the side, since they are sold individually.
A light first order could be the Bostan special Lagmen at $17.99 with a Lamb Kabab per skewer at $5.99. If you want a smaller spend, the combos pair two skewers with rice and a can of soda: the lamb version is $12.99 and the chicken version is $11.99.
What should you order for two or more people?
Sharing works well because the menu mixes textures. A table of two could take one noodle dish, one rice dish and a plate of skewers, then split everything.
- Start: Samsa 2pc at $8.99, two oven-baked buns with minced beef and onion, or Cold Skin Noodles at $9.99, served cold with vinegar, garlic and chili oil.
- Share: the Uyghur Style Polo at $18.99 and a noodle main.
- Add: Nan at $1.99 for each person if you want bread with the skewers or the kazan kababs.
Groups of three or four can look at the hot chicken stew. The ordering page lists the Small Hot chicken stew at $25.99, the regular Hot chicken stew at $26.99 and the Large Hot chicken at $47.99. The page does not say how many people each size feeds, so ask the restaurant. Extra hand made noodle for Hot Chicken Stew is $5.99.
Which dishes are spicy?
Most dishes on the page carry no heat label. The Stir fried rice noodle at $17.99 is marked very spicy, and the page says it cannot be made mild. The hot chicken stew is marked spicy. If you are not sure about heat, start with the lagmen, the polo or the kazan kababs at $18.99 each, none of which the page flags as spicy.
Are there meat-free choices?
The menu is meat-heavy. The Eggplant Salad at $9.99, with garlic, cilantro, tomato and the house seasoning, and the Cold Skin Noodles at $9.99 are the dishes with no meat named in their descriptions. The page does not give full ingredient lists, so anyone with allergies or strict dietary needs should call (703) 527-2026 before ordering.
When should you go?
The restaurant is open 11 AM to 10 PM daily, and the kitchen takes its last order at 9:30 PM, according to the owner’s November 2026 notice. The hours and location page has the details and the menu page lists every dish and price in one place. In person prices can differ from online ones, so treat the figures here as a planning guide.
