Meefen
Rachel L.

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.

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.

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!

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

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!

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!

Kavap (left) and Mutton Noodle Soup (right)
Stephanie T.

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.

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.

Laghman noodle with tofu.
Lucine O.

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!

I knew it would be good with its James Beard Award nomination, and it did not disappoint. The food was flavorful and just the right amount of spice. The honey cake and coffee ice cream was a sweet ending. It's a small cozy space. The servers were friendly. I will be back for more. I def recommend!

Original Meefen 鸡肉拌米粉
Meghana V.

This dish was very flavorful, although if you do not handle spice well even the mildest level is still spicy

Lamb Dumplings
Maisune E.

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.

Chicken Stew
Elizabeth X.

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!"

With so many positive reviews, we looked forward to trying this small restaurant located in the…read moreWestminster Arcade, the oldest -- and likely smallest -- mall in America. Built in 1828, the Arcade features a handful of shops and restaurants on the ground floor, with micro-apartments above. Lobanton offers Asian fusion street food with counter service. There are a few tables in a small dining area, along with additional seating in the common mall space. We ordered: Maize Runner (fried) - Sweet corn and chicken dumplings (10) served with a summer fruit mayo dipping sauce. Shrimply the Best - Shrimp tempura, Spam, and egg with tonkatsu sauce and house mayo. Service was prompt, and our food arrived in less than 10 minutes. The dumplings were heavily fried. While we enjoyed the filling, the exterior was overdone and overwhelmed some of the flavor. The shrimp sandwich was quite heavy, although the shrimp tempura itself was tasty. While the food wasn't quite for us, service was quick and friendly, and others may enjoy the fusion-style flavors more than we did.

Since my first visit to Lobanton inside the Arcade, their menu has more than Okinawan rice…read moresandwiches and dumplings. They now offer ramen, udon, bentos, and Asian snacks and candy. I ordered the Japanese Curry Rice Bento which had Japanese curry with rice and your choice of roasted chicken, crispy tempura shrimp, or tofu. I chose the chicken ($14.75). My husband ordered the tonkotsu ramen with a choice of chashu (pork), tempura shrimp, or tofu. He chose the chashu (pork) ($15.25). We took one of the tables and ate our food there. The Japanese Curry Rice Bento was tasty but didn't taste freshly made. However, it was perfect for a cold day. For the ramen, the broth was in a separate container to the noodles. He enjoyed the tonkotsu ramen. It was nice to try other things on the menu, but I preferred the Okinawan rice sandwiches and dumplings at Lobanton. Those are unique in Providence and a must try!

Neither was the best I've ever had, but both were definitely good and I'd probably order them again. They also have a steam table with some of the food already prepared when you walk in. I noticed the beef sticks sitting right in front of it, so I figured I'd give them a try. Unfortunately, I wouldn't order those again. They were very fatty and seemed undercooked in the middle. Overall, I'm glad I gave this place a try. The food was decent, but I think I'll stick with the loc lac and banh mi if I come back.

They do have a menu - takeout or dine in (few tables but the space is small) and they also have cafeteria style prepared foods that you can peruse. Located on Reservoir near the Cranston line, there is a small parking lot next to the storefront and some street parking as well. I called in an order for Chicken Mee Ka Tang (Cantonese Noodles), Beef Pho, Cold Cut banh mi, Lort (Cambodian eggrolls) and a Vietnamese coffee for the mister. When we got there I was enticed by the offerings and got a small container of the braised pork and eggs and stuffed bitter melon (don't knock it people, it is an acquired taste, lol). We really enjoyed everything we had but our faves were the banh mi (great flavor and didn't skimp on the meats at all!) and the Mee Ka Tang - it did have a bit more gravy than I'm used to but really great flavors - add a little bit of chili oil or sriracha and chefs kiss! The pork and eggs were a tad bit too sweet and pork was tougher than I'd like other than that, everything was delicious. Service was super quick and food was ready as promised. We didn't have to wait for it at all which I can appreciate! Looking forward to returning to this mom and pop shop!! Can't wait to come back!

Been here twice: first time was done-in and second time was take-out…read more Dine-in: I had the pho. Overall the broth was good. The meat and bean sprouts were decent. The price is on the pricey side, but they are located off of Thayer street. I went in around 11:30am, and they were still in the process of opening up, maybe that's why it look a little longer to receive my order. My colleague orders the beef noodle soup (牛肉面)and they use the skinny yellow noodles (similar to the size of spaghetti noodles). After you place your order, they'll give you a number, and you can go find yourself and seat. The interior of the place is pretty nice, they have small tables (can sit 1-2 people) or bigger tables (up to four people). Once the food is ready, the staff will bring it to your table. Take-out: I ordered online a Chicken teriyaki bowl and it was ready within 10mins (ordered on a Thursday around 11:40am). The portion size is great! You have a choice of pork fried rice or white rice, and I ordered it with pork fried rice. I personally recommend pairing the teriyaki bowl with white rice because the teriyaki sauce and pork fried rice together was too salty for my taste. I love that they serve a bed of vegetables (sliced carrots, zucchini, broccoli, and onions) over the rice, but it would've been better if the veggies were cooked for a bit longer, the onions and broccoli were on the raw side. Look forward to trying out their other dishes!

Any Chinese restaurant that doesn't automatically include hot mustard and soy sauce in a takeout…read moreorder ... especially when their foid is bland as shit ... deserves a 2-3 star rating. Come on ... how much does it cost you to actually throw in a tiny cup of hot mustard? I mean, who doesn't eat hot mustard with Chinese food? It used to be that Chinese food was a fast and cheap dinner ... a combo meal here is $18, after substitution. I want to know ... who the fuck has ever actually eaten a shitty chicken wing from a Chinese restaurant without substituting it out? Probably nobody. You eat fresh BBQ chicken wings at a tailgate, not from a dirty restaurant the size of a college dorm room. Of course they know any sane person with working taste buds will substitute nasty skimpy wings for something else ... so they include them in every combo meal knowing people will pony up the extra $1.50 - $2.50. A combo with 3 crab rangoon, 3 chicken fingers (substituted for wings) and an egg roll now costs almost $20. The quality here is on par with a mall food court ... which is to say, not great. Dry AF fried rice with fatty cubes of pork which have the consistency and taste of a pencil eraser. The rice was almost chewy it was so dry amd barely tasted like pencil shavings it was so bland. The crab rangoon was decent ... filled with fake cream cheese and almost no crab. If you are drunk, it's fine and filling. Nothing you couldn't throw in an air fryer from a frozen box. The chicken fingers were okay. Likeky frozen a year ago and thrown into a deep fat frier hours before you ordered and kept under a heat lamp. If you are drunk or high, you'll leave a 4/5 star review. If you are unfortunately sober when you eat this, it will remind you of the dsys you'd scrape your lawn mowing money together and splurge on Chinese food from the mall food court when you were in middle school. Overall, this is buffet food served as fresh made. The fact that everything had almost zero taste ... they better start putting hot mustard and soy sauce in orders unless that want continued 2/3 stars. Bottom line ... I was hoping for good old fashioned American style strip mall Chinese food. What I got ... sucked.

We were sadly in a rush and had to be out by a certain time to catch a show, and our server understood the assignment and got us out on the tight schedule we needed. I'm just sad I had to slurp down my soup so quickly as it was absolutely DELICIOUS! I ordered the Snow Mountain Ramen - the creamy tofu broth is unlike anything I've had and was so so unique and delicious. I thought about it for at least a week straight after eating it and am still dying to go back to get more. I also got the Iced Rose Matcha drink - $10 felt too pricy for this but I wanted a fun drink and a little caffeine kick - and again the flavors were unique and tasty. Both my friend and I happened to see someone we knew here - it's definitely a popular spot! It was packed on a Saturday night but it was still pretty quick for us to get a table for 2. Being a downtown city restaurant, the tables feel a bit cramped and I was a little too close to the table next to me for comfort - claustrophobics beware (honestly the soup is worth it though!!) Parking is pretty easy in the lot, although Holy crap they need to fix the potholes / harsh drop-off where it meets the street, and it still was not fully plowed many weeks after the big snowstorm (it's a shared lot so not a Y Noodle specific issue, but just saying). The only thing that was unpleasant were the bathrooms - I get it was a busy weekend night, but they reeked of a litter box the second you stepped in, the floor was dirty and very wet with unknown substances, and the Dyson hand dryer is at such a weird, too high level on the wall that it sprayed water in my face. Everything else was a dream, can't wait to go back! Hopefully the bathrooms were just a fluke.

The soy ginger wings were the perfect appetizer--crispy, flavorful, and coated in a sweet and savory glaze that had us reaching for one after another.

Mixing everything together with the sauce made every bite so satisfying. My fiancé loved the kalbi ssam--the short ribs were tender and flavorful, and wrapping everything in the fresh lettuce with the sides made for an awesome meal. What really stood out was how comforting everything felt. As fellow Asians (though not Korean), the food gave us that warm, homey feeling that good Asian comfort food should. The banchan and soup were a great touch, and the portions were generous. This is easily some of the best Korean food we've had so far, and we'll definitely be coming back to try more of the menu.
