Boston finally has it, too! No need to go to Rhode Island for this one
🍢 Jahunger (Cambridge): Boston’s New Xinjiang Gem—Worth the Hype (and Parking Hunt) After falling for their Rhode Island location, I was thrilled to find this Xinjiang spot in Cambridge. Even on a weekday, it’s packed—no surprise, given the bold flavors and unique dishes. Just be ready to hunt for parking (tiny shared lot out back; street spots in the neighborhood are tough). 🌟 Must-Order Dishes Big Plate Chicken 🐔 ・A showstopper: Tender chicken thighs, melt-in-your-mouth potatoes, and vibrant bell peppers smothered in a slightly spicy, savory sauce. Served with wide, chewy (belt noodles) to soak up every drop—satisfying, hearty, and full of depth. Ding Ding Fried Noodles🍜 • The dish that made me obsessed in Rhode Island: Small, gnocchi-like noodles stir-fried with diced tomatoes, ground beef, and spices. Tangy, savory, and addictive—comfort food at its best. Nang with Lamb 🫓 • Exclusive to the Cambridge location (and a game-changer): Crispy, fluffy nang (Xinjiang flatbread) tossed with tender lamb and spices. Carb + meat perfection—I took leftovers home and paired them with store-bought nang for round two. Spicy Stir-Fried Tripe 🌶️ • Wok-charred tripe with a kick of heat—fresh, peppery, and full of "wok hei" (that smoky stir-fry essence). A great side for spice lovers. 🍢 Solid Sides Lamb Skewers 🐑 • Lean, tender, and simply seasoned—no overpowering cumin, just pure lamb flavor. Perfect for snacking between bites of bigger dishes. 📍 The Vibe & Details Atmosphere: Stylish, lively, and bustling—feels like a neighborhood favorite already. The decor’s unique (think warm tones and subtle Xinjiang touches) and great for groups. Parking: Plan extra time—street parking is scarce, but the small lot sometimes has openings. Price: Worth every penny for authentic Xinjiang flavors you won’t find elsewhere in Boston. #BostonXinjiang #CambridgeEats #SpicyFood #NewInTown
