OMG! How have I lived this long and never tasted Uygher cuisine? We had an amazing server who gave solid recommendations. We started with the lamb kavap and shared the ginormous chicken stew, and finished off with the honey cake. Every this was so flavorful. The lamb is served on skewers with 23 different spices. Definitely tasted cumin, paprika, peppercorns, garlic, and so many other spices! The chicken stew was so delicious. Be warned that it's big and spicy! Definitely a kick of peppercorns. I believe it's a full smashed whole chicken so each bite has bits of bones. But the chicken is stewed in a rich, spicy broth. The stew has hand made noodles, potatoes, and peppers. We finished off with honey cake which helped cooled down the spices we just ate. Lovely slice of cake with a scoop of coffee ice cream. This place gets busy but they have a digital waitlist. Street parking on Wickenden and surrounding streets. read more

I had been here a long time ago but wanted to expose my friend to something new and unique. It was a Saturday evening and we luckily found street parking close by. We checked in with the host on the first floor, but she escorted us to the second floor to be seated. I always liked that this restaurant seems to be a small house converted into a restaurant since it literally makes me feel at [someone's] home. We were given QR codes to scan for the menu; not my favorite. I overheard another table ask for paper menus, so it appears there is that option. For a starter, we ordered handmade lamb dumplings and for entrees, original meefen and lamb on dry land with a side of white rice. It all ended up coming out around the same time and the tables are a little small so it felt like an overwhelming amount of food, but it was actually the perfect amount for two people. The lamb dumplings were flavorful, albeit, the wrappers were a tad too soft. The original meefen was very tasty, especially the minced meat. However, the uden noodles don't do a great job of absorbing sauces, so it felt like a lot of the oils and flavor were left behind. The lamb on dry land was good, but it was difficult to eat especially two people. We didn't realize it would be meat on a stick, similar to a turkey leg but less meaty. We ended up eating the easy parts, but took the bone home to finish out of the public eye. The crispy potatoes on top were my friend's favorite. The total was about $50 which was fair. Our waiter and other staff members did an excellent job of getting us all we needed and clearing plates as we finished. Their official website is one of the coolest I have seen since it includes audio and images, but I wish it had a description of what each item is, just like their in restaurant menu QR code. read more

The restaurant is super small so we had tried to come a few times and not stayed due to long wait times. Arriving early will be good if you want a table fast. The food is delicious. The noodles have a good texture and I liked the flavor of the jagunger noodles dish. read more

Saw raving reviews for this place and decided to order via Uber Eats. The food was well packed and hot when it arrived, but my cake & ice cream was packed with the hot items so my ice cream was slightly melting. The food overall was good and hit the spot. The lamb skewers were tender, light seasoning and little gamey but not overly. I really enjoyed the meefeen, it definitely has a kick to it. The rice noodle was nothing I have had before. I was expecting the typical thin rice noodle from a package but these were the real thing. They were thick and the perfect texture. It's like the thickness of udon but texture of rice noodle. It is a tad oily which makes sense because I think the sauce is made with chili oil. I also tried the honey cake. The cake is moist, and paired well with the ice cream. I did not put much of the honey on top because it was already really sweet as is. It was an enjoyable slice of cake to finish the meal off. Great place and delicious food! I would order here again but open to try their other items than re-ordering what I had today. read more

I've been on a hunt to find honey cake ever since I leaned about its existence and had been struggling to find, and then stumbled upon Jahunger while at a Wickeden Street Market. Was so pleasantly surprised. NGL based on the name I always assumed Jahunger was Jamaican but it is indeed a Uyghur restaurant. I got the Jahunger Noodles with tofu and I really liked it. Good flavors and love that they have tofu / are accessible to other diets. I did think the dish was a little too oily but I still would get it again and have since I first tried. The honey cake is also delicious! They call it "not your average honey cake) but I've not had an average one to compare to, so the hunt continues lol. My only complaint is that all the dishware is plastic. I ordered one of the teas and the entire pot with the boiling water was plastic...not a fan of that. read more

Um are you kidding me! How did it take 2 years in prov before I tried this spot. Local gem, great service and knowledgable about menu. Meefun was spicy and delicious with chewy noodles, green beans were flash fried to perfection. Will be back, cozy for winter! read more

Really enjoyed the spicy meefen - I told them "I'd like you to try and kill me" when asked for my preferred spice level; they took a real solid crack at that. Good scallion pancakes and the rest of my party enjoyed the dumpling app as well as their entrees. It sort of revolves around whether you like big noodles, because these are very much the thick ones and I didn't see any other options. Personally, I enjoy it as it feels like a more substantial meal. It's not cheap but worth it in my opinion! read more

I went here with my friend for the first time a few months back and I really wanted to try the Meefan or Original Meefan but was talked into the chicken stew- it was so flavorful and delicious... when we were both full it still looked like we hadn't touched the food- TONS of leftovers for me- yay! The green beans were also tasty. Beer was on the warm side but they had just gotten their approval back to serve alcohol. Our server was very informative and seemed to really care and also enjoy the food! We sat downstairs and that was nice but the upstairs looks very cozy! Can't wait to go back and try some of the noodles- on my list is the Original Meefan and the Jahunger Noodle! read more

I understand the HYPE! This place is incredible. The staff is extremely caring and attentive to customers. Hayden and Haymi specifically have been my servers both times I have come and I would come back just for them.... BUT THE FOOD. Incredible. Extremely hearty and filling. The spicy Meefen noodles are Hayden's favorite and now they are my favorite! I also tried the blistered eggplant dish the first time I came and loved that. This time I opted for the spicy potatoes and those were delicious also. I will keep coming back. The restaurant inside is really beautiful also. Thank you see you soon friends read more

I had high expectations for Jahunger from the raving reviews, but I found the actual experience to be slightly lackluster. My friend and I got the Jahunger noodles and the Meefen, both of which were overly salted. The flavor was enjoyable, just too overwhelming at times. Perhaps it would've been better if we had gotten a vegetable dish on the side to balance out the saltiness, but I would argue that the dish should come with more vegetables or meat. Overall, I'm glad I finally got to try Jahunger, but I most likely won't come back. read more

What a cute little spot. Parking is on the street and it's wickeden, so be prepared to walk (it's also on a hill) Loved the music and vibes inside. It is SMALL in there though, there are like maybe 5-6 tables? But seating is size friendly. And there is decent space in between. The food was very good. Wish there was more licked peppers and onions with the polo. We liked the sturdiness of the hand pulled noodles. The green beans were cooked to perfection. The tea was great, not too hot at all. Would go back to try more! read more

If you have not yet tried Jahunger, you need to run there now. On August 30th, my cousin who is a student at Brown returned to campus and wanted to have dinner at Jahunger. Of course, I was on board since Jahunger is so amazing. We walked in about 6:00pm on a Sunday and we were able to secure the last table on the first floor. It was a busy night at Jahunger and a queue formed after we were seated. Jahunger always offered first floor and second floor seating, but they now have outside dining as well. The menu can be accessed via a QR code which was new. I had to grab a staff member's attention to take our order. We ordered a few dishes to share: Handmade Lamb Dumpling, Kavap, Jahunger Noodle, Spicy Beef Tripe, and Mutton Noodle Soup. They had already run out of samsa and chicken stew. The food came out fresh and hot. We enjoyed all the food and all the flavors were spot on. The mutton noodle soup was probably the weakest dish, but everything was very good. Our favorite is still the Jahunger Noodle. This is always the highlight of our meal. It's always a great time at Jahunger. read more

When I saw Jahunger while researching Providence, I knew we had to stop in because I've never tried Uyghur food before. I love all the Asian food and being able to try a subset that I've never had before was really exciting. There were no reservations so we tried to show up early, which was a good idea, as the place filled up fast. The place is decorated a bit sparsely, but what they have is beautiful. I loved being upstairs by the traditional seating arrangement they have on display. I wish we could have sat at it, it was so pretty. You can tell this place used to be a home because the bathroom has a tub still but I found that charming. It seemed a bit dirtier than I would have liked but it wasn't gross or anything. Service was a bit slow but our server was nice and seemed to be trying really hard. He made sure to warn us of stuff, in case we wouldn't find it pleasant, like warning me that the plum juice isn't what you'd expect. He was right, but I enjoyed the smoky, fermented flavor. It went with the food really well. The food was really good and if I have the opportunity again, I'd absolutely have Uyghur food. My husbands noodles were amazing and I loved the cook and the flavor. I had the Polo and I found it ok. The best part was the pickled veggies. I could eat those everyday. We also had the samsa which were also just ok. Great flavor but I don't believe the execution was the way it was supposed to be. They were a bit tough and hard. read more

A lot of people had recommended Jahunger, especially for the hand-pulled noodles -- so I went. I ordered the laghman noodle with tofu. Everything about the meal was great: the vegetables were well-seasoned and prepared, the noodles were quite good (not sticky, not dry, and not too heavy for digestion), and the tofu was a good texture and a perfect vehicle for the dish's flavorful sauce. Meal was well-priced for the portion and incredibly filling. Service was very fast, and staff were friendly and helpful. The restaurant itself was cozy, too. Definitely enjoyed my meal! read more

Jahunger, which offers Uyghur cuisine, currently has 2 locations; one in Cambridge, MA and the other in Providence, RI. We went to the location in Providence. The restaurant uses the footprint of one of the houses in the neighborhood. The dining area comprises 2 stories. Downstairs feels busy as the kitchen is located there and the to-go orders are being funneled out the door. Upstairs, where we ate, is a bit more sedate. We tried the scallion pancakes - thin, crisp, less oily and very good, Spicy Tiger (vegetable dish - red and green peppers, shishito peppers, eggplant), and Laghman Noodles. My version of the noodles, which are hand pulled, included red and green pepper, cabbage, black fungus mushrooms, and beef in a tomato sauce. The fresh pasta adds so much to the texture of the dish. This is a place that almost demands a return - to become more familiar with its cuisine and culture. read more

i've become a regular, the kind who sits down and immediately the servers know what i'm ordering with my modifications. can also testify that all hand pulled noodles hold up for take-out, eaten cold, or warmed later. i love the dimmer vibes upstairs if you can get seated there. the hospitality is the best, and i've seriously never had a bad experience. the most consistent place ive eaten at in RI. get the lamb dumplings, try the spicy beef tripe, alternate between the laghman and jahunger noodle. jahunger noodles, i usually order with a little less peppercorns and dehydrated red peppers just because of my heartburn issues but it's not actually spicy like that. the meat is tenderized amazingly so. they are super helpful about modifications, like subbing in tofu or tweaking for dietary restrictions. i'm happy to see that become a thing. will never stop eating here. read more

Amazing meal--one of the best we had in Providence. The lamb was flavorful and tender. The chicken stew had a complex flavor profile that went well with the juicy chicken, chewy hand pulled noodles, and potatoes. The eggplant was also delicious, although I thought the portion size was a little small. I'm usually not a fan of tea, but the earl gray tea was good and came in a gorgeous cup. It also paired well with the honey cake, which was amazing, especially with the coffee ice cream. It was an exceptional dessert, so it definitely fit the name "Not Your Typical Honey Cake!" read more

Hello food lovers! It has been a while since I posted, So to break that stigma I wanted to have a raving review to one of the most talked about noodle place in Providence, Rhode Island - JAHUNGER! And... we are EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED because it sucked! We ordered the Jahunger noodles, lamb steamed $13 dumplings, green beans and pancake. We spent $18.50 per noodle (2) order and everything totaled to $85, Based on posts and reviews this noodle spot is supposed to be a Michelin contender hence why I chose to spend our hard earned money here. So why the disappointment and dissatisfaction? Taste= noodles were rubbery and the taste is ordinary, nothing special, I wish it did. Dumplings= Store bought dumplings taste waaay better and much cheaper Green beans= it's just spicy and a little soggy Pancake= bland and that's it! Portion - The servings are so small for the price. It would make you sweat WTFRIDGE?!?! The noodles serving is so little you can see the floor of the container. So , if you're just curious like me, go ahead and order. However, if you want to spend your money wisely, so someplace else and don't waste your energy and money at JAHUNGER because it's hard to find parking and the food BLAH! Ciao! read more

I love the Jahunger noodles and have had many of their other noodle dishes as well. They're always flavorful with a great chew and the meats they use are great as well. I'm not a huge fan of the dried chilies interspersed throughout the dishes but they're easy to pick out. Overall it's a fantastic dining experience and something everyone should try! read more

Original Meefen Noodles ... 5/5 stars. That could be the whole review, honestly. I'll expand on this masterpiece though. Gluten-FREE rice noodles - thick, chewy, & delicious. Minced chicken with "secret sauce" that has a little kick. Cilantro & scallions add a fresh flair. Omitting the crispy soybeans will keep the dish gluten-free. I had this dish for the first time a week ago & immediately told my partner "I can already tell that I'm going to be craving this again soon." Rarely my predictions are wrong - & there I was, about a week later, craving the Original Meefen. I know in about a week or LESS I'll be craving the Original Meefen again. PS - It survived the takeout test! The portion was a bit small when I got it for takeout the second round, but the integrity & deliciousness of the dish held up. read more

One of my favorite places to come for dinner. Spicy food, delicious meats, perfectly textured noodles. Seating in an old house, upstairs and downstairs available. Cozy. Must get foods: kevap (smoky, juicy lamb), jahunger noodles (perfectly textured, not spicy), stir fry greens if you want a veggie, Other enjoyable options: samsas (crispy exterior, juicy meaty interior), scallion pancakes (crispy, great for sharing, comes with a dip, scallion flavor not as strong), spicy meefun (must get if you LOVE spicy!), chicken stew (LARGE and spicy portion, so only get when you come with a group, but great potatoes, chicken with bones) Parking: street only, but there are spots available on some of the smaller back streets read more

After trying Jahunger for the first time, I can totally understand what all the hype is about! We went early on Sunday night in anticipation of a potential wait because the restaurant does not take reservations; as a table for 2, we were able to walk in and immediately be seated. I had a glass of Sauvignon Blanc, and we really enjoyed the lamb dumplings as an appetizer. They were perfectly seasoned and moist. For our meal, we had the Meefen and the Jahunger Noodles. Both were amazing, but I personally preferred the Jahunger Noodles since the hand pulled noodles without excess broth were more to my taste. The meal was ended perfectly with a slice of delicious honey cake. Overall, this was a great restaurant to go on a date or get dinner with some friends, and I would 100% recommend going for some unique food that you cannot find elsewhere! read more

I'm very happy to have finally tried out Jahunger. Long overdue. Fresh, house made hand pulled noodles, little hole in the wall type place and overall decent service. I got the Jahunger noodle. Since it was my first time here, what better dish to start with- the one named after the restaurant. The good: the noodle was fantastic. Thick, chewy, and unlike any other noodle I've found in Providence. An opportunity for this dish is to bring some more freshness. It's got some deep flavor but it's not particularly complex and there frankly wasn't enough sauce to sop up with those nice thick noodles. Also, there was hardly any beef. A handful of thinly cut beef and that was about it. If I recall, it was $17 and I feel it was worth that but I wish the ratio of ingredients was different. The ding ding noodles my wife got.. Now that dish was a standout. The flavor was absolutely amazing and instead of noodles they were hand cut into little bit sized chunks that still had the same chew as mine. Loved it. The cold chicken was.... Something to skip. It was a plate with 1, read, ONE chicken drumstick topped with an overwhelming amount of raw red onion. The sauce was okay. And the Sichuan seeds were fun for a few bites, but I paid for mainly onion. The bone and the skin should have been removed from the plate prior to serving and there should have been double the meat. Chicken drumsticks are insanely cheap. Giving 4 stars because I like their home made noodles that much and having made this exact type of noodle, I know and appreciate how much work it takes to knead and work such a difficult dough. I could have made some better choices on the sides. I think I'd come back if I was in the mood for a stir fry and a thick chewy noodle. Is it a must visit? If you've never had hand pulled, thick chewy stir fry noodles and don't have the desire to make them at home, absolutely. read more

***Summary*** -High quality noodles (Jahunger Noodle, Original Meefen), lesser quality meats -Cute, flexible house-inspired interior with kind service/hospitality -Uyghur cuisine -Was in and out in ~35 minutes ***By Dish*** 1) Jahunger Noodle (Entree) -Especially enjoyed the chewy, savory noodles. Had a strong onion flavor that could be a bit overpowering. Beef pieces were flavorful but tough and did not taste very fresh. 2) Original Meefen (Entree) -This dish was my sneaky favorite of the day. Expecting a mushier texture, the gluten-free rice noodles were soft, fresh, with a subtle chewiness. I loved the chili oil taste and appreciated the added texture of the crispy soybeans. The minced chicken was not the feature of this dish, but still soaked up the flavor well. 3) Lamb Samsa (Appetizer) -While this looked appetizing, the dish lacked flavor and overall, the theme of lesser quality meats showed itself once again. It helped to dip the samsa into the Original Meefen chili oil! read more

Can make lots of things vegan, including jahunger noodles which had fantastic chewiness

I usually have a pretty strong preference for salty food, but even for me, the dishes here were too salty. The pepper chicken was overly seasoned, which made it hard to fully enjoy the flavors. My Jahunger noodle was also quite salty, becoming overwhelming after a few bites. The portion size was not large, but it was just right for one person. Overall, the excessive salt really affected the experience. read more

I've been wanting to try Jahunger for a while and absolutely regret that it took me this long to check out this restaurant! We were worried it would be busy since it was a Friday night and they didn't take reservations for smaller groups. Thankfully, there was a table available for our group when we arrived! It's a very small restaurant so I suggest coming early. We ordered the scallion pancakes (best scallion pancakes I've ever had!) and the lamb dumplings for our starter (so good and tasty!). I had the Jahunger noodles for my main course and loved it. The noodles were chewy and the perfect texture. Although it was very spicy for me, I loved every bite.

Jahunger is the go-to place in Rhody for Chinese food like you've never had before! The Uyghur cuisine is delicious blend of Asia meets the Middle East. Every time I go, I have to get their hand-pulled, homemade noodles with chicken--it's just that good. The noodles are perfectly chewy, the chicken is tender, and the flavors are rich and comforting. Pairing it with their scallion pancakes is a must--crispy, flaky, and packed with flavor. P.S. They just opened a location in Cambridge, MA and we can't wait to give it a try! read more

A converted house serving mostly authentic Uyghur and western Chinese fare in tight quarters. Get there early or get in line. Meefen: Thick rice noodles with chili bean paste and celery, along with a choice of protein (I chose chicken). More wet and strongly spicy. I received a sticker for managing to eat it all despite the high spice level. Jahunger Noodles: Ordered once with tofu (can choose from a number of different proteins) and once without, these were faintly coated with condiment and somewhat smoky. Not very spicy, but REALLY nice flavor. Nice chewy texture to the noodles, which had a tagliatelle-meets-udon feel. Long strips of chive added some crunch and herbal punch. This should be a must for any first time visitor. Leek & Egg Dumplings with fresh chives and minced shrimp: Clean, bright, simple, and well done. Nothing noteworthy but a nice, pleasant dish that can serve as a foil to the spice of spiced up as well with the dipping sauce. Ding Ding Noodles: This claims to have "Beef and homemade noodles painstakingly cut in small chunks by hand," and they live up to that claim. No squiggle, no jiggle, and harder to eat with chopsticks, but a nice mouthfeel with the thicker, chewier texture. Hot sauce, not discerned, so flavor lacked oomph, but clean and pleasant, with tender beef. I'd get it again and ask them to make it hotter. Samsa: This pair of savory buns stuffed with tender lamb meat didn't come with dipping sauce, but didn't need any, because it was very juicy and vigorously gamey, offset by some herbal components. A great bite and the runaway hero of the second visit. Scallion Pancake: Pretty ho-hum, light and crispy with mild scallion flavor and way too little dipping sauce. Skip this unless you have a vegetarian to accommodate. Stir Fried String Beans: A little limp, lukewarm, and perked up with dry chile. I liked the spice treatment, light oil, and lack of saltiness (which I do like but try to avoid) and lack of gloppy sludgy texture found in too many renditions elsewhere. All things considered, outstanding food, even with a couple of hiccups. Service was off but well intentioned and friendly; they could probably just use a few more servers. This is destination dining. read more

A gem! First visit and I expect I was one of many first time diners that have not eaten Uighur food (and New England's first such restaurant). It is Chinese but spices are different. The owners have faced many obstacles (a fire, COVID) but are succeeding. We were there on a Thursday and the place was full and lively and we saw many take out orders. Saw what we expect were many Brown students. Although modest - don't be concerned when you see the space downstairs - there are many tables upstairs. The service was superb, food delicious, and entrees were huge and clearly too cheap (smaller portions or raise prices a bit!). Unless you are super hungry - you might want to skip an appetizer (as noted above - large entrees). See pics for our choices. Damages with tip was $85 but note that $20 went to two sakes. They have a good selection of wines, beers, etc. but no cocktails. Located on busy Wickenden so you may have a bit of a search for parking. RECOMMENDED!

--Location/Parking-- Located east of RISD along the popular Wickenden street with many cute shops and pubs. Parking looks to be street parking. --Ambience-- Cute restaurant with limited number of tables. I sat on the 2nd floor which can manage maybe 7 or 8 parties if well organized. Minimal and modern décor with clean white walls. --Service/Staff-- The staff was friendly and pointed to an all-digital menu, which required internet connection. When I explained my phone ran out of batteries and needed to be charged, they looked confused on what to do as far as ordering. I asked for paper menu, and none were available. I don't mind the upgrade because of COVID, but the staff were not trained on how to handle this situation. Overall the service was great, and the staff was friendly --Food/Products-- I originally wanted the Original Meefen, but they ran out by the afternoon. The Ding Ding noodles were perfection and was not a disappointment. One of the best noodle dishes I had in a while. I also recommend the Stir-Fried String Beans which were crunchy and tasteful. Usually when I order them, it comes out soggy, this was in contrast when I can tell it was fresh from the wok --Capacity-- I sat on the 2nd floor which looks it can handle a party of 7 groups of 2-4 people. I am unsure on the 1st floor seating since it was unavailable during the Saturday afternoon --Overall-- I will be back to try to get their Meefen which is a unicorn for me since it is made in limited numbers. read more

I think Jahunger is one of the best noodle places in PVD. The jahunger noodles are my favorite - they are so chewy with the *best bite.* And the spice level is always great. You can order this ginormous spicy chicken stew if you're dining in person, which is suppppeerr spicy but so good with rice. The scallion pancakes are a yummy crispy appetizer. The homemade yogurt dessert is pretty good as well! The food really is so good; there is a reason their chef was nominated for a James Beard award in 2023! The vibes are very relaxed. They have booster seats for kids but no high chairs. The service is pretty standard - it can get crowded but they are pretty fast overall. I would say the prices are definitely on the higher side (especially in more recent years) but it's worth the treat for those delicious noodles with the best bite! I love taking people to Jahunger when they're visiting the area! read more

First time to Jahunger and it was a solid meal. I thought this was going to be a small restaurant, but it actually has an upstairs that I didn't know about! It is still small with not that many tables, but they turn over quickly, so I'm sure patrons wouldn't have to wait too long to be seated. The service was also satisfactory, our waitress was friendly, and the food came out quickly. I will say, however, that this location was not the cleanliest upon further inspection - there were sauce splatters on the wall next to us, and the bathroom was unpleasant. I went with my husband for an early dinner around 4pm, so it was pretty empty at that time, but it started to fill up as we neared the end of our meal. I ordered the Ding Ding Noodle, my husband ordered the Jahunger Noodle, and we both split the Cold Chicken. I felt very differently about each of these dishes because, yes, they are all unique from one another, but for me, they had varying end results in terms of ratings. I give the Ding Ding Noodle 5 stars all the way! It was so flavorful, had a little bit of heat, and it was just such a comforting bowl of goodness. I loved the cut-up noodles, they were cooked perfectly and retained their chew. I have to give a 4 to the Jahunger Noodle dish. While the noodles are seriously some of the BEST you can find out at a restaurant, I feel as though the dish didn't have enough beef, the portion was a little small, and I expected just a tad more from the flavor. Don't get me wrong, it was a tasty entrée and beautifully presented, but it just left me (and my husband) wanting more out of it. The Cold Chicken was sadly only a 3/5 for me. The chicken was quite tasty, and the Sichuan peppers are always a fun addition, but there were a lot of raw onions, like, more than you would want, and to be presented as a main chicken dish, there wasn't too much chicken in there. It was also plated with the bone so there were a lot of bits that weren't edible. Overall, Jahunger was a sound choice, and I would visit this restaurant again either for dine-in or takeout. It's not at the top of my list, but I would still recommend it for unbeatable noodles and reasonable prices. read more
