For ~25 per ramen bowl.. you get the absolute bare minimum. Firstly, $2 for a squirt of spicy sauce?? You can’t taste ANY difference. Broth turned below luke warm within 7 minutes from pick up (got order right when it was ready) Paid extra for bokchoy and DID NOT get the bokchoy. Kid size portion.. where did all of these high rating come from? The taste is on par with other ramen businesses such as Akira Ramen, and their prices are cheaper and they include hefty base toppings for free. Unfortunately, this was the saddest bowl of ramen for the most expensive price I could’ve paid. Aside from the negatives, the tonkatsu black’s broth was flavorful but like I said, the taste is on par with a $17 ramen bowl.

Ive never have any bad experience in this restaurant but you should check on your shrimp and pork dumplings ramen because it made me sick right after i left the restaurant.

This ramen shop is really excellent. The noodles are made in house and fresh. The broth is really well made as well and has excellent flavor.I had the takoyaki as an appetizer and felt it was a little strange that it had egg salad as a base. I still felt that the dish was really good.I asked for no spicy sauce in my dish and they were able to accommodate.I would say that my only complaint was that it was loud and had fairly loud music. But I feel that I'm also just more sensitive to loud environments.Overall the Ramen is great and I highly recommend going here for some really fresh and nice ramen.Dietary restrictions: They asked about any dietary restrictions.

I really enjoyed he food! The atmosphere was amazing but most of all our waiter Jennifer was phenomenal to have. It was our first time here and she recommended all the best eats! She even asked about specific allergies that may have affected us. I was really thankful to be at such a beautiful location during the best time of day. They were accommodating and all the staff from host to waiter to food prep made my experience pleasant and rememberable!

Jennifer was our waitress and she was awesome! She made sure we were well-taken care of, had excellent knowledge of the menu and could make great recommendations, and even offered us dessert because it was my birthday! The food was excellent and we will definitely be back!

I love it at Jinya. The waiters are attentive and very helpful and patient. The food is reasonably priced and delicious. The space is clean. For parking, there’s a garage right across from the restaurant, so not too much walking is required. I recommended the shrimp ramen, crispy chicken, and spicy tuna on fried rice.

JINYA Ramen Bar is a great place to go if you're feeling like eating some mouthwatering ramen!! The food is delicious, the staff is so friendly, and the atmosphere and interior decoration are really cool. The location is perfect as well! It's in this great area where you can go shopping or grab a sweet treat right next door, before or after your meal. It's a cute place to take pictures at any time of the year too! I highly recommend trying out this restaurant, you won't regret it!Parking: Street parking can be difficult to find but it all depends on what time you go. The area is usually busy, but it just adds to the great atmosphere! There are plenty of parking garages around the area so you shouldn't have too many problems finding a place to park.

5 stars all around. Gracious service, DELICIOUS ramen, and the Playlist is like that! I ate alone and the staff were so accommodating and kind. Hipster vibe meets cool and cozy. I love the small dining as well.

I am a big fan of pho, and I thought this would be a similar experience, but in my opinion it isn’t. First, the restaurant itself and the service are in a great location with plenty of parking and good service. The weight can be pretty long if you have a party of four or more but for two people it was reasonable. The atmosphere, and the service are all great. Lots of parking and it’s free for up to two hours. Also have a variety of vegetarian friendly dishes and add ons for food. My server was excellent and explaining what the things were on the menu and the food came out hot and looking great and under approximately 10 minutes. Once again, I am a big fan of pho but this ramen was a little disappointing and also on the more expensive end. Bowls of ramen are $16+ each, the broth wasn’t very flavor full. On a positive note, the drinks were great, and the hot sauce was indeed hot. It is definitely a place worth checking out. If you are looking for something new, however, it just was not for me. I had the Shrimp Wonton Ramen and Tonkotsu Spicy Ramen

I use to come here and order take out all the time when they first opened. Over the years my family and I notice a decline in their quality and quantity of food they served so we started eating there less and less. After about a year we decided to give Jinya another chance and WOW it’s only gotten worse. Anytime my family and I order takeout we eat out of the same ramen bowls and the portions we got today were about half of what we use to get with an almost 50% increase in price. On top of that, it does not taste anywhere as good as it did when they first opened. Needless to say, this is the last time my family and I eat at Jinya. I’d recommend getting your ramen from Akira, which is right across the street from Jinya.Update: My mom got diarrhea from eating the ramen. Definitely avoid this place.
