JINYA Ramen Bar - Vancouver Downtown

Liam was our server and he was definitely top tier when it comes serving. My wife used to be a server in Vancouver for over a decade and she is very critical when it comes to serving and even she said Liam was the best!

Used to really like the ramen here but sadly it is no longer good. The spicy creamy vegan ramen was expensive and very disappointing!

Excellent menu options with top of the line ramen choices. Good service and fun atmosphere

This was our first visit to this restaurant....read the great reviews and it's location was good for our tickets to the Orpheum Theatre. We decided to order all "small plates" so we could taste a number of things. We weren't disappointed....food was hot and tasty and the service was beyond excellent. Some of the items sampled were: chicken pieces, brussell sprouts , pork gyoza, edamames and tempura shrimp in a slightly spicy sauce. Will definitely be visiting here again to try out more things. The ramen soups were very popular and looked delicious.

We only stop in a quick bite, so
Everyone got a little something for the starter menu. The bun boa was delicious with very tender and flavorful chasu. The north of the tuna and salmon taco were savory and tasty. I ordered the JINYA Tonkotsu Black, and it was fantastic. The broth was deep and creamy with just the right amount of garlic to give it that extra punch. The pork chashu was tender and flavorful, and the seasoned egg was perfectly cooked with a soft, jammy yolk. The black garlic oil added a nice smokiness that made the whole bowl even more addictive. I also liked that the noodles had a nice bite to them—chewy, but not too soft. Would totally recommend

Jinya never fails to impress - food is fantastic - service is friendly and quick- and overall atmosphere creates a great dining experience!

I was guided from the entrance and sat at the bar counter, and they explained everything to me well. It's a Korean izakaya style where they greet customers loudly, but I'm actually a bit nervous, so I took off my star rating.

The food is just a Japanese ramen restaurant, so it seems similar to other places, but the lively vibe and friendliness make me prefer this place over other places.
When I was finishing my meal, they asked if I wanted extra soup or noodles, so I thought, "Oh, refills?!?" with the mindset of a Korean restaurant, but I was wrong. They charge $3 for extra soup, so be careful.

Oh, from 3:00 to 5:00, they have happy hour, so beers and highballs are $5-6, and side dishes are discounted, so please take note.

The best Ramen in Vancouver!! And the price was amazing! Everything we order was delicious!

The food was really good and everything came out fresh. The atmosphere was comfortable and made for a nice night out.

Plus side- the food was good, served hot.

On the service side- I think the mains came out too soon after our appy, and overall I felt a bit rushed. They reiterated the 90 minute limit a few times and we left with 20 minutes to spare. There wasn't a line up and while reasonably busy there were empty tables.

The plastic umbrella bags are incredibly wasteful. I get not wanting water on the floor, but then have an umbrella stand!

Very nice service in a decently attractive space. The food, however, was not that exciting. I had the Jinya chicken noodle and my Korean friend had the creamy vegetarian noodle. My entree was bland, even with the sauces on the table, and I would give it a 5/10. My friend said her meal would be a 6.5/10.
I would not return as I am sure there are better choices in the area.

Food was very good, we had Raman, deep fried chicken and pot stickers. I understand if food was amazing and this is only place to get it. There is lots of better Raman places that you can stay as long as you want. They kick you out after 1.5hrs no matter what you spend. Our bill was over $200. I understand if they were busy, but they had empty spots. We Won't be going back. Not sure why this is okay in Vancouver.

Everything was remarkable!! Our server was super attentive and service was top notch. We had a work dinner and I am happy everyone enjoyed!! Thanks Jinya

My fav 🤍 soooo good. Their take out packing could use some consistency, like I’ve had two of the same things, very different quantity and packaging lol. It’s still my fav comfort food 💯
