Jahunger had been on my restaurant list for several months now after hearing many great reviews. I was even more hyped after it was recommended by Michelin. Couple it with the scarce hand-pulled noodle scene in Boston and never having had Uyghur cuisine, Jahunger seemed like a must-visit. With that said, mostly everything fell flat and we left very disappointed. Kavap lamb skewers ($14) could've used more flavor and protein was slightly overcooked & could've been more tender. Both dumplings ($13 each) were just OK, tasted like standard dumplings and did not stand out. One of the Samsa ($13) pastries were very overcooked and the other was just right, lamb was juicy and flavorful. Scallion pancakes ($12) had great texture and crunch, but it was also very bland and a challenge to find any scallions inside the dough. Jahunger noodles ($18): Beef was very overcooked and noodles were too al dente and hard, it needed to be boiled for another minute or two. Chicken Stew ($34): the most flavorful dish of the night, but following the theme of the meal, chicken was very overcooked and dry. The wide noodles were slightly too al dente, it could've been boiled for another minute or two. The potatoes were good, though. Gobi Lamb ($22): This lamb shank was an abomination. This huge chunk of meat was deep-fried (why???) and like the rest of the protein dishes, supremely overcooked. It was inedible and what's more, we were given a butter knife to cut through the rock solid protein. Shrug. Cold Beef with Cucumbers ($17): The only protein of the day that was not overcooked, it was actually very tender but flavors were overpowering, contrary to all other dishes. Stir-fried Beans ($14): Yet another dish that was DEEP FRIED. Why??? It's a vegetable dish, stir-fry it like the name suggests! Despite my complaint, this was one of the passable dishes. Flavor was on point at least. Spicy Potatoes ($14): Surprisingly the best dish of the day. It was spicy, potato strips were crunchy. Don't get the Brown Sugar Boba Milk Tea ($7), it's canned and not house made! This is the first Asian restaurant I've been to with canned boba drinks, very misleading and a rip-off. Service was forgettable, they were great with bringing water bottles for refills, but that was about it. Server was very nervous and did not provide much insight into the menu items. Requested for napkins and brought us 2, for a table of 6. Shrug. $250 down the drain with a heavy case of buyers remorse. Checked off the list, one and done. TLDR: overcooked proteins, undercooked carbs, and bland flavors are the common themes. read more

Ordered takeout, it arrived warm (because it came across the city, I mention it to emphasize this next part) but I was still amazed at how chewy the noodles are, they also didn't breakdown or get slimy from sitting in the container. I actually found it way easier to slurp them down. Very spicy, meefen tofu was good sized bites, not the enormous ones you have to awkwardly try to break with your chopsticks or fork. This is an oily sauce, at its core, but the starchiness and chewiness of the noodles complimented it so well and didn't make you feel heavy. It was a snowy night and the food was delivered promptly to my hotel, however, this also means I cannot attest to the ambience or style of the restaurant but I would definitely visit given better weather. read more

The scallion pancakes are among the best I have ever tried. Love that they include some braised and organ meat dishes. Hope we can still get a table after their recent award. read more

Jahunger, Cambridge MA Second location of the Providence original, offering Uyghur cuisine typically found in the northwestern-most province of China. They call their culture "a unique blend of Central Asian influences." A bit of Middle Eastern too, but the more the merrier. If noodles are your thing, it's a must. Samsa: A pair of savory pastry dough vessels filled with fragrant ground lamb. Think of these as Asian knishes; I think of them as that and delicious. A little crunch to the shell, but also nicely chewy. I haven't had these anywhere else, so I can't compare, but I'd be surprised if these weren't elite. Scallion Pancake: A bit out of place on this menu but more than just a token offering for the timid. It checks all the boxes: thicker than average, crispy but not oily, thick but light, plenty scallions, and thick, dark dipping sauce. Near-elite to elite. Jahunger Noodles: I've had these several times in Providence and Cambridge, and they're the perfect first visit item to get a feel for the place. Hand-pulled, fresh, thick, dense, round noodles, with a protein you can customize. Not exceedingly spicy, but REALLY nice zesty flavor. Nice chewy texture to the noodles, which had a tagliatelle-meets-udon feel. Long strips of chive added some crunch and herbal punch. Laghman Noodles: More of those hand-pulled, fresh, thick, dense, round noodles that are a bit slippery, so maybe rethink that white cashmere sweater if eating these, cuz there gon' be some sauce a splashin'. Complemented with shredded beef in a slightly spicy sauce, a little on the thin side, so not as much cling as with their namesake Jahunger Noodles. Spicy Potatoes: Spiced very thin, served around room temperature, with a jicama-like texture and a sauce spicy as promised. A hint of sour, but less sour than the Sichuan version of potatoes like this. Very good. They've got a tiny parking lot shared with their neighboring businesses. Handy but very tight, so get there early and back your car in. read more

My family and I loved our experience at Jahunger! Unique cuisine, cozy atmosphere, friendly service. We ordered the scallion pancakes to start. Delightfully crispy. For the main course, I ordered the Meefen. It's a noodle-based dish with so much sauce it's almost stew-like. I am not complaining because the sauce was delicious. It's unlike anything I've tasted before so I'm not sure how to describe it. Quite spicy, which I loved. Only thing I wasn't a fan of was the chunks of raw celery, but I'm just not a celery girl. I also tried the Jahunger noodles and the Lagan Noodle. Both delicious! Also, per their menu, everything can be made vegan. Our only disappointment was that they don't have their liquor license yet. But that won't stop us from coming back! read more

Tried this out for a delivery order. We got 2 noodle dishes, spicy eggplant in garlic sauce and scallion pancakes. Everything tasted really good. The noodles are nice and thick and chewy. I love that they are full of different veggies and meat and flavor. The jahunger noodles were a little too oniony for me with some raw red onion, but still tasted good. The scallion pancakes were really good. Good amount of scallions, crispy and still chewy too. I love the eggplant. They're spicy and soft with big pieces of peppers in it I thought the prices were relatively reasonable, esp for a delivery app. 4 dishes with delivery fees/tax/tip came out to a little less than $90. We had some spillage of the eggplant sauce in the bag, but that wasn't a big deal. I'd definitely order again! read more

First time trying Uyghur food and really happy I did! This restaurant gets super packed for dinner and we had to wait around 30 minutes before we were seated. We got a couple of the noodle dishes, lamb dumplings, eggplant, and a fish plate. Everything was flavored well - i personally loved the noodles. Would definitely recommend checking this restaurant out! read more

The food here is AMAZING. They don't take reservations and were quite busy on a Sunday evening. We ordered the lamb on dry land, which was delicious and very spicy. The chicken stew is a must order. The portion was huge and the stew's flavor had so much depth - not to mention the addictively chewy texture of the hand pulled noodles. We ended our meal with the not your typical honey cake, which was stellar. Street parking is a bit difficult to find but this restaurant is well worth it. This was one of our favorite dining experiences in Boston and we will definitely be back! read more

Maybe my expectations were too high but I was a bit disappointed by my experience. The noodles were nothing special but were insanely oily to the point where even after pouring out oil at the beginning there was still a substantial amount left by the time I finished the dish (see picture). Lamb skewers were fine but not worth the price imo. I ordered delivery so maybe the quality would have been better in person or maybe I ordered the wrong things. Overall I might come back to try some other parts of the menu but it isn't my top choice in the area. read more

We wanted to visit this resturant so much we all skipped lunch and went early to score a table without having to wait on the sidewalk. Totally worth it. The service was perfectly attentive without the faux pleasantries. The scallion pancakes were tasty and flakey, not the usual soggy mess served everywhere these days. Lamb Dumplings were delicious, as were the Stir-fried beans and Spicy Tiger. But lets get to the main event- the noodles. The Jahunger noodle is an addictive spicy dish you can't stop eating. The Langhman beef noodle is a fantastic balance of just enough meat with plenty of noodles. But the best dish by far is the Chicken Stew. Which is a terrible name comparison to what this dish really is. Complex but subtle flavors and textures, perfectly cooked and a huge portion. My only complaint is that the City of Cambridge has not yet given this great, Michelin Guide resturant a liquor license! read more

Authentic Uyghur cuisine from a group (family?) that came from Xinjiang. We got the Kavap, Jahunger Noodle, and the Polo. The Kavap was definitely the star of the show with nicely seasoned and tender chunks of lamb. The Polo was a unique and tasty dish, which we best describe as an Uyghur version of biryani. However, the Jahunger Noodle was very disappointing. To be completely fair, it resembled and tasted like chow mein noodles from a mall food court. What made matters worse was that the beef in the Jahunger Noodle and the lamb in the Polo were quite tough--they felt like chewing on a cloth. Expectations were too high for this restaurant unfortunately... read more

The service was excellent; the staff was attentive and friendly, making us feel welcomed throughout our visit. The food was genuinely impressive, authentic Uyghur cuisine that is minimal in the area. The prices were very reasonable, you are having freshly hand-pulled noodles. Two dish that I absolutely loved was the lamb on dry land, and original Meefen. It was flavorful and perfectly cooked, truly highlighting the rich culinary traditions of Uyghur culture. Located conveniently close to Harvard Square, Jahunger is a fantastic spot for anyone craving delicious, authentic food. I highly recommend it and look forward to my next visit! read more

Jahunger - Noodles Near Me - Cambridge, Massachusetts

I loved Jahunger when I tried them for the first time in Providence and was super excited to hear that they were opening a location in Cambridge. The restaurant hasn't fully opened yet but they are currently doing takeout and delivery orders. I was both excited and a little nervous about whether the dishes would be just as good as they are in Providence and can happily say that the taste and quality is the same. I picked up samsa, kavap, Jahunger noodles, and lamb on dry land. I must say that their samsa is probably the best samsa I've had. The dough has a mild bready flavor that gets super crispy on the top and the filling is moist and flavorful. If you like spicy cumin lamb skewers, then I would highly recommend the kavap! The skewers are smoky, tender, and coated with lots of cumin and spice. I first tried their Jahunger noodles when I visited their Providence location. The noodles are hand-pulled and cooked to chewy perfection. Each noodle soaks up the garlicky soy-based sauce. The noodles are stir-fried with onions, chives, garlic, dried peppers, and beef, so the dish as a whole is fragrant and flavorful. I could eat this again and again. The lamb on dry land came with a generous portion of lamb stir-fried with onions, bell peppers, and pieces of naan. The naan soaked up so much of the sauce that the lamb was a little more dry compared to the noodle dish. However, everything was still very flavorful and I loved how this dish had a different flavor profile than the Jahunger noodles even though there were a lot of overlapping ingredients. Highly, highly recommend checking out this business and getting some delicious Uyghur food! read more

Came here not expecting much but we were blown away by this meal. We got the chicken stew, jahunger noodle, and the honey cake. All of them were delicious and packed with flavor. The chicken stew was packed with chewy noodles in addition to big chunks of meat. We would definitely come back again for any one of these dishes. The restaurant fills up very quickly, so be sure to get there early if you don't want to wait. read more

So sad how downhill this place has gone. The Jahunger noodles used to be one of my favorite dishes in the Boston area, but it's now just a shell of its former self. It's not as flavorful and no longer spicy / numbing at all. The beef was tough and tasted old. Also, the onions were practically raw, and there were more onions than noodles. To the owners/managers: if you're reading this, please bring back the old Jahunger noodles! I would love to give this place another chance. read more

We are always thrilled to see new restaurants and shops opening in Cambridge! We had been wanting to stop by since they first opened and finally had the chance last weekend. I must say, their warm and attentive service made our experience even better. The noodles were absolutely delicious--so chewy, and you can definitely tell they're handmade! I'm so happy to see such a unique food option in the Cambridge Port area. I heard they also have outdoor seating and are currently waiting for their liquor license. At the moment, they don't take reservations, so it's first come, first serve. Overall, we had a fantastic time and can't wait to return! read more

Have been to Jahunger twice and still I leave amazed by the meal and excited to come back for more! Their commitment to quality and consistency as a family business operating humbly on a quiet corner in Cambridgeport in refreshing amongst restaurants chasing online clout! Favorites dishes: - chicken stew in an iconically massive bowl, the most economical source of protein for $34! They really should be charging more for this. Tender chicken pieces on the bone, the most comforting potatoes, addictively chewy hand pulled noodles - kavap (lamb kabob) grilled perfectly with no lamb gaminess! Honestly all the lamb dishes here are not gamey, and I'm not usually a fan of lamb - Lamb on dry land comes with stir fried naan, letting you assemble little lamb sandwiches with crunchy edges and a fluffy interior, ft cumin - Polo is ideal for something with a lighter flavor profile combining sweet rice pilaf with cleanly braised lamb - cold cucumber and beef is crazy tender, love the tendon bits and has a built in cucumber salad - original meefun with the bounciest noodles, if you love udon you will love this! - honey cake is the owner's (Nadia!) recipe, a textural delight to scoop through all the layers, somewhere between tiramisu and a honey graham, especially with the coffee ice cream! - MILK BEER! What a perfect pairing for the spice, refreshingly creamy somehow, sourced from China! This was a life changing drink omg So glad Jahunger is now here in Cambridge representing Uyghur cuisine instead of another pizza shop, you will be treated well here read more

Wonderful. Tried the lamb on dry land (cumin lamb with soft flatbread pieces) and Jahunger noodles (super thick noodles with spiced beef). Everything was very flavorful and uniquely spiced. Looking around at the other tables every other dish seemed super appetizing too. Fast service and a nice semi-casual ambiance, with some decorative touches that add a nice element for a date night. Will definitely add to our regular rotation. read more

Jahunger - Jahunger Noodles - Noodles Near Me - Cambridge, Massachusetts

Overall a fantastic experience at Jahunger! I took my family there to celebrate my parents' respective birthdays with birthday noodles. We ordered the jahunger noodles and laghman noodles, as well as the "big plate chicken" stew, lamb on dry land, samsa buns, spicy tiger (eggplant dish), non-alcoholic milk beer, and the yogurt and honey cake for dessert. YUM! My mom doesn't like lamb and my dad doesn't eat spicy and a lot of the menu is lamb based or spicy but everyone loved every dish we ordered. It helps that we all like cumin and strongly spiced food. Crowd favorites were the lamb on dry land, jahunger noodles, and the honey cake. The non-alcoholic milk beer was also tasty - sort of like a carbonated tangy yogurt drink? Service was friendly and relatively efficient despite the restaurant being packed within the first 30min after we arrived. We were also able to snag the table right by the non-entrance door, so had a good amount of enjoyable natural sun and could see the whole restaurant. (Docked 1 star because the eggplant was a little tooooooo salty for our taste and small for $15. If Yelp let us do partial stars it would've been more like a 4.6!) read more

I absolutely loved their first location in Providence, so I was thrilled to discover they had opened a second location in Cambridge--perfect timing as I was planning a Thanksgiving trip to Boston with my family! Hearing that their head chef is a James Beard Award semi-finalist made me even more excited to try this location. The restaurant is conveniently located near major universities like MIT and Harvard, and the large parking lot in the back made visiting super easy. We enjoyed the food so much that we either dined in or took out from the restaurant three days in a row, trying nearly everything on the menu. Some highlights included the Kavap, Samsa, Scallion Pancake, Handmade Lamb Dumplings, Jahunger Noodle, Polo, Original Meefen, Meefen, Spicy Tiger, Lamb on Dry Land, and Spicy Beef Tripe. For my kids, the Samsa, dumplings, scallion pancake, and Polo were big hits. These are some of the milder, non-spicy options, yet they were bursting with flavor--perfectly seasoned and satisfying for younger kids. As a huge fan of spicy noodles, I was delighted by the Jahunger Noodles and Meefen dishes--they were just as incredible as I remembered from Providence. We also tried their new dish, the Spicy Beef Tripe, and wow, it was a game-changer! The tripe was crispy and chewy at the same time, with a spicy, tingly flavor that was addictive and satisfying. It paired beautifully with both noodles and rice dishes. Truly a must-try! What sets Jahunger apart is how their food feels both familiar and refreshingly unique. While there are plenty of hand-pulled noodle places, none compare to Jahunger. Their noodles are irresistibly chewy and flavorful. I even ordered extra white rice just to enjoy their sauces on top--they're that good. I wish they would sell their sauces for at-home use because I'd be stocking up in a heartbeat! The Lamb on Dry Land and Spicy Tiger (eggplant) dishes also stood out. The lamb was perfectly tender and infused with bold spices, while the eggplant had a smoky, rich flavor with just the right amount of heat. Everything we tried showcased the same high quality and attention to detail we loved in Providence. Their second location proves they can deliver the same incredible flavors and consistency we've come to expect. We're super impressed and can't wait to visit again. Amazing job, Jahunger team--keep up the great work!. read more

Food was great, good introduction to Uyghur cuisine. My fav was definitely the jahunger noodles. I also loved the textures within the stir fried lamb. read more

I ordered delivery from here last night. I got a variety of items and they were all super delicious. The homemade noodles were some of the best I've had in any cuisine, period. Seriously masterful work! I'll be thinking about them for weeks, I think. Everything was seasoned well, big flavor bombs - and perfect cookery. I'm really looking forward to trying the rest of the menu and dining in. I've often felt lukewarm on Uyghur food due to my experiences at the few other places in town. It's never bad - but I'm sorta left just wishing it was Uzbek. However, Jahunger showed me what this cuisine could cuisine can really do. Super impressed. If I had *one* note its that the polo dish was perhaps too steeply priced for the portions. While it's delicious, it's the only dish I had I'd hesitate to order again. read more

Jahunger brings some much anticipated spice and flavor to the Cambridgeport neighborhood, tucked away on a residential street. Walk-ins only, but time quickly passes with a stroll around the block and nearby park. Inside is tastefully decorated with blue accents and moldings evoking Islamic architecture (the window seat is especially cozy). I've been here twice since its opening, and both times have left me satisfied. Highlights include: - Lamb dumplings are a MUST order, piping hot and delicious (5/5) - Lamb on dry land was also excellent, especially with the small pieces of bread that soak up spicy chili oil (4/5) - Chicken stew is well worth it, served in an enormous pot that serves 4 people and is even more delicious the second day (4.5/5) - Spicy tiger was decent, but I've certainly had better elsewhere (3.5/5) - Laghman noodles and jahunger noodles were definitely the weakest (esp. compared to the chicken stew) The service on my second visit was excellent - just after the Mid-Autumn Festival, the waitress brought over mooncakes on the house which were some of the best I had in my life. They were for sale, so you bet I brought some home. Highly recommend a visit the next time you're in Cambridge. read more

Ten out of ten, easily! The staff is attentive and knowledgeable about their menu. The atmosphere is homey, but very nicely done with authentic music and decor. But, the real star here is the food.

You can also see the noodles are homemade - slightly irregular cuts and that perfect chewy texture. They are incredible! read more

This place has single-handedly redeemed the Cambridge food scene. That's it. You need to go. Jahunger has an incredible lineup of dishes that keep me coming and trying new things.

The owners are truly focused on delivering an authentic experience. The staff are also very attentive and friendly. My favorites: Kevap - Insanely flavorful and tender lamb skewers Jahunger Noodles - Their signature dish for me. The noodle chew and quality is so unparalleled Lamb on Dry Land - A unique mix of lamb and bread stir fried together with amazing wok flavor Polo - Deeply rich and savory rice dish with lamb Honey Cake - Delicious combo of layers of sponge cake and a delectable frosting and comes with coffee ice cream too! Milk Beer - Like nothing I've ever had in a drink. Really rich and refreshing at the same time read more

I can't say enough good things about this place. Despite it always being crowded, we finally managed to stop by for dine-in. As someone who had never tried Uyghur cuisine before, I was surprised by the array of flavors in every dish. The noodles were particularly impressive--so chewy and delicious! One of my main concerns when dining out is finding options for my kids, who are not fans of spicy food. But here, most of the menu items can be prepared without spicy, which scored big points with me. The service was remarkable; the staff was quick and incredibly friendly, making our experience even more enjoyable. We can't wait to go back! read more

Last week, we had a family reunion, and while searching for a noodle shop nearby, we discovered an Uyghur restaurant close to my cousin's house. We decided to give it a try, and it truly blew my mind! The noodles and lamb were cooked to perfection. Our server, whose name I believe was "Alden" or "Elden," was incredibly friendly and helpful. Since this was our first time trying this cuisine, we learned a lot from him, and we were extremely satisfied with our meal. I'm already looking forward to returning to my state and finding a similar restaurant. A new food adventure has definitely been unlocked! read more

This place is tucked away in the middle of a quiet neighborhood of Cambridgeport, but the inside was bustling with full tables. I think the waitstaff were quick to requests/orders, but were too busy for any detailed service, which is fine if you're ok speaking up. The text on the menu is extremely small and hard to see - not particularly friendly. In terms of the food - I think the highlights are any sort of chili oil and/or lamb flavors coming through. -Lamb Dumplings: we had to order it twice because it was really quite good. Skin is purposefully thicker and chewy, and the best part is how juicy, tender, and delicious the filling is. -Lamb on Dry Land: good amount of spice, and the way the naan soaks up the oil makes it super fun. All of the components mesh well together. -String Beans: maybe because they were busy, but the beans were overcooked and a bit too soft. The chili oil flavor was excellent, though. -Jahunger Noodles: the only disappointing dish we ordered - the noodles don't soak up much flavor, and overall the taste was similar to a standard take-out noodle dish and not particularly a standout. read more

The Jahunger noodles which are similar to dried beef noodles at other Uyghur restaurants were excellent. Easily the best dried beef noddles I've had. Everything from taste to texture was well done. The samsas/samosas on the other hand were extremely dry, chewy, and thick. I personally love samsas, so this was a big disappointment, especially given the much higher price point. Overall, I'd return for the noodles but stick to Silk Road for the samsas. Check them out! They also have plenty of seating and it's clearly become a local favorite given how busy it was on a weeknight. read more

Visiting Jahunger in Providence a few years ago was a formative experience for me. I can't believe that Jahunger came to Cambridge before I could return to it! We grabbed takeout (you can order online), but it turns out that they opened up seating as well (could probably seat ~30 people). We had the noodles at home, and they were delightful. The Jahunger noodles ($17.85) are a must-get. Oh my gosh. This was even better than I remember. It comes with beef that is super tender and smooth, and bursting with flavor. The noodles are nice and chewy, and I'm sure they would taste even better in person (I will go soon to confirm). The seasoning is tingly and savory and everything nice. Just writing this is making me want to go there tomorrow. I think the portion size could be a bit better -- I could use more noodles -- but the dish is just such a delight. We also tried the Original Meefen ($16.80) which was also great. The seasoning was a bit overly salty, so we ended up saving a lot of the ground meat and green bean topping to eat with carbs later. The noodles were perfectly cooked and took on the flavor of the toppings well. I liked the crunchy soybeans in the topping. I would get this again as well. It seems like this location is just as good as the one in Providence, so I'm looking forward to frequenting this location. The food holds up pretty well as takeout, but I think the Jahunger noodles would be better in person. Eagerly awaiting my next visit! read more

I've been meaning to try this restaurant for so long so I'm glad we went. They specialize in Uyghur cuisine which Boston doesn't have a lot of. The service was honestly really fast, food came out quickly. Ambiance is cute too and it's located in Central Square, near the Hmart. We got lamb skewers, cucumbers, chicken stew, and jahunger noodles. The lamb skewers were solid but honestly a bit gamey and overpriced.. $14 for 3 skewers is crazy. Cucumbers were fantastic. Usually whenever I order cucumber dish it tastes the same but this had extra flavor. They seasoned the cucumbers so well and sauce was packed and spicy. Chicken stew was my favorite entree. The stew was huge first of all. Lots of broth which I liked. It had hand-pulled flat noodles and they were super chewy and great texture. The chicken was soft but had lots of small bones so you have to be careful. Lastly we got the Jahunger noodles because it seemed like their signature. These hand-pulled noodles are unique because they're really short and al dente. It was a bit more al dente than I'm used to with Asian noodles but I liked it. However the beef and the actual flavor of the noodles wasn't anything special. Overall I would go again because they have a lot on their menu I'd like to try. Also their menu is super aesthetically pleasing but impossible to navigate because it's so stiff LOL read more

I cannot get their original meefen out of my mind. I crave it all the time, but especially on the days they aren't open for lunch! I have literally dreamed of it! My husband loves their chicken stew--I think it's tasty, but I don't love dishes full of bones (not a criticism of the restaurant, as that is absolutely how the dish is supposed to be prepared). The green beans are also good but not the most consistent--they can be too soggy or they can have too much Szechuan pepper corn. Their jahunger noodle is also delicious. read more
