    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!

    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 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!

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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!"

    Meefen, Jahunger Noodles, Lamb Dumplings

    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!

    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

    Jahunger Noodles
    Michael P.

    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.

    I love Jahunger and it's a place I always want to come back to. The restaurant itself is unassuming but the staff are very pleasant and always accommodating. The real hit is the food of course. 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!

    Original Meefen
    Nathan K.

    ***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!

The server said there was really only one option on the menu for vegetarians which is what I ordered. The food is served luke warm and for $15 I'm pretty sure I could have made this same dish at home for much cheaper and probably better. It has a spicy chili oil on the side that you mix in along with the pickled radish which was more salty than pickled tasting. One bunch of noodles wasn't properly cooked and clumped at a section. I consider myself pretty good eating with chopsticks and the slippery noodles proved to be quite difficult to eat. Not a good option if you're on a date and maybe concerned with how you will look eating this dish. Probably the saving grace of the dish was the mushrooms which allowed me to give this place 3 stars. I will not be back to this restaurant. I only ordered a hot water with a lemon for a drink. No lemon was given, only a chipped little cup (pictured), and the restaurant was freezing. I kept my coat on the entire time. The menu is really tiny. I suggest looking at the menu before going and really making sure there is something you want to try before going. Rookie mistake made on my end!

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.

Although this isn't fine dining, I find a sporadic placement of food to be strange because I sat with my food in front of me waiting for everyone else's.

Our potato appetizer was delicious; my SO had the Rhode Island Red which was also fantastic. However, my green curry bowl was super disappointing... very bland even though I added a bunch of chili oil. The noodles were delicious but the broth tasted like a VERY watered down Thai curry. The noodles were like a khao soi gai but it just had very little flavor. I think it was just the specific bowl I ordered -- we'll probably be back since we live in the neighborhood.
