Jahunger Providence — Restaurant in Providence

Highly recommend this place for authentic Uyghur food. I have never had it before and was very curious. I love Sichuan food, but I know it isn’t the same. Small main dining space, but I believe they have more space up stairs. Their menus are really creative and I loved the look. They don’t take reservations so there might be a little wait depending when you come.

Their hand pulled noodles are fantastic and so nice and chewy. They also have dishes that aren’t spicy if that is not your thing. I loved their Jahunger noodles. I ordered it as is and it wasn’t very spicy, but very flavorful. It was a comforting dish. I think you can get it spicier though which is what I normally like.

Ding Ding noodles were very unique and haven’t had something like it before. The noodles are cut into very small pieces and all the meat and vegetables are also diced very small. The vegetables were lightly cooked so they were still crunchy and had a fresh taste. This wasn’t spicy as well.

Lamb dumplings were very succulent and delicious. Maybe a little expensive for the quantity but I enjoyed it. Comes with a unique dipping sauce that was more vinegary than the spicier Chinese chili oil that I’m used to.

I don’t typically get a dessert at a restaurant unless that is what they are known for but I would highly recommend the honey cake. It was so good! I also thought the proportions were perfect. I had an appetizer and dessert and didn’t have leftovers, but was just perfectly full and not feeling like I ate too much.

I’ll be sure to try some other dishes that are spicier next time I’m in town.

Be aware parking can be a little difficult. There is no parking lot and it is all street parking. I recommend finding a side street nearby. I was able to find a spot very close by on Armstrong Ave on a...

Since 2021, this has been my go-to spot in providence when I craving for good food. If you’re looking for authentic, wok-fired, flavorful Asian dishes, this place is an absolute must.

Some of my top picks:

Lamb on Dry Land A true treat for lamb lovers! Crispy golden pieces of naan tossed with perfectly stir-fried cumin lamb.

Meefen (Xinjiang Stir-Fried Rice Noodles) If you like spicy, this is the one. Chewy rice noodles soaked in their secret sauce—you simply can’t stop after one bite.

Spicy Tiger A vegetarian dish you shouldn’t miss. Make sure to pair it with a bowl of rice—gently mash the tender eggplant with the back of your spoon and mix it in. Heavenly!

Jahunger Fried Noodles Wok hei, chewiness, and big bold flavors—all in one classic hand-pulled noodle dish. If it’s your first time here, I highly recommend starting with this one!

And finally, don’t skip the dessert corner: Their honey cake honestly tastes good enough to have its own shop. Made from a family secret recipe and served with a scoop of coffee-flavored ice cream. To me, it even has a hint of that nostalgic red date cake vibe: soft golden crumb, rich natural honey aroma, and just the right amount of sweetness.

Honestly, you really can’t go wrong with anything on the menu! There are plenty of vegetarian options too. Find your favorite dish—I’m pretty sure you’ll keep coming back for...

It's SUPER DUPER yummy!!!!!! Best Asian food I have ever had in the U.S(Reviewed on October, 2023)!

Updates: I went to this restaurant again a couple weeks ago(April, 2024). I got disappointed with the their food and service.

FOOD: The Baozi was not fully cooked this time . When I was eating it, I saw some pink meat in it. I called the server over and asked if it is normal to for the meat to be pink (I simply didn't know). The first server came and said she doesn't know and need to ask the kitchen. A moment later, another server came over and said it is normal. I said ok. She then quickly said if I am not satisfied with the food, she can ask the kitchen to cook another serving for us. Her words sounded nice however I could read from her voice as I trying to escalate this situation and making trouble for the restaurant.

Before I could even think and respond, she literally GRABBED my plate from me. I responded and explained that I just wasn't sure about if it is normal for lamb to be pink and try to grab the plate back. She said no I will ask the kitchen to cook again. This told me that the food was NOT FULLY cooked. Her reaction definitely looked sketchy to me. If the food was fully cooked, why wouldn't she stand on her ground and have me finish the food?

SERVICE: 1. Chopsticks were mismatched and dirty with left-over rice on (I didn't...
