JINYA Ramen Bar - Santa Monica

Generally very good and consistent in the quality but today when I was there and had my usual order creamy vegan Ramen with tons of onions, undercooked noodles, spinach and a little tofu. Don’t know if they got news chefs but it was definitely underwhelming. I’ve been here for seven years, but I think that was my last time. Can’t justify paying $25 for a bowl of soup like that.

I recently visited Jinya Ramen Bar and found the service to be exemplary. The broth I chose was exceptionally creamy,

The toppings were fresh, and the tofu had a pleasing texture, with the chili oil providing a nice heat. Nevertheless, the richness of the broth became overwhelming after a few spoonfuls.

This is not a reflection on the chef's skills; rather, it aligns with the intended style of this dish. If you appreciate a luxuriously creamy ramen experience, I encourage you to give it a try.

Service: Excellent. Ramen: Perhaps a bit too rich for my preferences. 😊🍜

Vegetarian options: Pork Goyza as appetizer js

Everything was great. Our server Maria was attentive, knowledgeable, and super nice. Everything came out quick and was delicious. Great place if you want vegan options too. Try the tempura Brussels sprouts, poke tacos, and spicy creamy vegan ramen.

Great for Ramen, only. Rest of the stuff is pretty average or below average.

I visited Jinya Ramen in Santa Monica tonight, January 19, at 8:50 pm. Unfortunately, the service did not meet my expectations. The waitress was quite rude (I don’t know her name, she was Latina), which negatively affected my dining experience. I hope the management can address this issue to improve future visits for other customers.

In A Nutshell:

-JINYA is a great place to grab some Japanese ramen & friend chicken.
-They have a decent happy hour, which I recommend you checking out.
-Their Japanese Fried Chicken was really tasty, crunchy & moist w/ huge pieces of chicken.
-I also enjoyed their Chicken Ramen Broth, which fills you up on a cold winter evenings.

Overall, the service here is really friendly & will come back again for sure.

the last time i went to jinya which was yrs ago (pre covid) i remember really enjoying the food and apps, but i ordered it recently and omg everything i got was INEDIBLE. the broth was beyond greasy and smelled terrible, the pork was severely overcooked and hard (it hurt my teeth to chew it off). had to throw it all out, i ordered the same app from yrs ago (bao and spicy tuna) and it looked and tasted VERY different so i guess their prep has changed since and not in a good way. i actually hope i dont get sick from the little bit i tried. would never order from here again that was truly disgusting.. my disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined
