We came to HHI for vacation and were pleasantly surprised to find this ramen place. Its soup base was thick and flavorful, which says everything about the authenticity of its food. We ordered the tonkatsu ramen, takoyaki, and jinya bun. All were great. The restaurant was fully packed. The staff was friendly and the atmosphere was laid back. Highly recommended!
So good! Visiting HHI from California and I love this place. Fantastic flavors, beautiful interior, and lovely staff. Can’t wait to come back!

HORRIBLE HORRIBLE SERVICE!! Me and my family experience the worst family dinner ever! Waited 30 mins before anyone even attempting to wait us. SARAH the “manager “ had nothing to do but blame the poor lady at the counter. She took absolutely no accountability about the situation and I still had to wait to get my daughters ice cream. Not sure if race had a play in this but it sure did feel like it.

아직 라면은 못먹어봤지만 오늘 포장해온 타코야끼는 일본에서 먹어봤던 것 보다 훨씬 맛있었어요 오늘은 배가불러서 아이에게 줄 타코야끼만 포장했지만 라면도 빨리 먹어봐야겠다 싶어요 최고네요^ ^

Always looking for good Ramen. Saw a Facebook ad for here and had to try it. Great atmosphere indoors and the outdoors seating has fire pits. The Ramen, fried chicken and goyza were delicious . Highly recommended!

Late minute decision got lunch and it paid off big time. We loved lunch here at JINYA. My husband had the Vegan Red Fire Opal and loved it. It was a huge portion! I had the Chicken Chashu bowl. It was so fresh and turn taste was divine. I would order it again. The best though? The Brussels Sprouts Tempura! Y'all, I don't usually even like Brussels sprouts! I loved them.
If you want really good ramen then definitely come

Got the Chicken Ramen, the Crispy Chicken, and the Takoyaki. The broth was really flavorful and the chicken was well seasoned and not dry at all. The Crispy Chicken was really juicy without losing any of the crispness and I liked dipping it in the leftover sauce and egg tartar from the takoyaki which I also ate super fast, it along with the crispy chicken pair really well together. I might try a different ramen, just to change things up but next time but I'll definitely be ordering the crispy chicken and the takoyaki again with it.
Service was slow. Friend and I sat for ages after finishing our meals and eventually had to flag someone down to pay. Ordered a Jinya Bun and Takoyaki. I swear on everything that it was salmon in my Jinya Bun instead of pork. I tried to say something was wrong with the meat (even if it somehow was pork instead of fish there is something severely wrong if those two meats can be mistaken for each other) but the waitstaff was insistent that I was eating pork. I am not an idiot. Gaslighting a customer about the food they're eating is absolutely insane. If I had a fish allergy this could have been grounds for a lawsuit. The Takoyaki had an overwhelming rotten fish smell. Only managed to eat 2 of them before having to stop at fear of puking. Proceeded to have stomach cramps the rest of the night. My friend also ordered Takoyaki and reported an odd smell from theirs as well, but did not get sick like I did so it's unclear if the two facts are related. Will probably come back to try the ramen, but I definitely know what menu items I want to avoid now.Edit: Went back and tried the ramen with another friend. Two bowls of ramen with 3 additional add ons into one bowl (because the ramen itself comes with almost nothing) cost essentially $50. This is insane. The ramen itself was very mid, not horrendous but certainly not $50 worth. Soy sauce added to top ramen would probably have tasted better. Service was better the second time around however they were absolutely blasting music to the point where my seat was shaking from it. I had nothing against the music choice, or even restaurants playing music loudly, but I would like to be able to hear the person sitting a foot away.Factoring in everything I have previously written, I can safely say I will not be returning for a third time.Edit 3: The more I think about it, the worse this restaurant appears to me. The ramen had almost zero flavoring, and the add-ons actually somehow added nothing to the dish. I cannot possibly fathom how someone can eat at this restaurant and walk away thinking that it was good. The only possible explanation I can think of is most of the people who have eaten here have never actually tried ramen a day in their lives. Or maybe it's because it's one of the newer places to eat on the island so people will flock and fawn over something that is incredibly not worth it. How this place has so many 5 star reviews is actually baffling to me. A friend of mine attempted this place again via takeout, asked for a sauce, was promised the sauce was in the bag. When she checked the bag in her car and found it wasn't, she went back inside to ask for the sauce. The same server who promised the sauce in the bag said she was now going to charge my friend for the sauce, and that if she could bring the bag back inside to "prove" the sauce wasn't in there. This is actually insane.There is 250 places to eat on the island, and a wonderful selection of Asian based restaurant in that number. I've eaten all over, and feel guilty when I leave a 3 star review or lower but I don't find myself feeling bad about this one, the place is just that bad. Easily one of the worst places I've ever eaten. For the love of god choose somewhere else to eat. If you want ramen-focused restaurant that badly, you might just have to take the hit and go to Savannah

As a Food and beverage worker, this was a horrible first experience for me. it started with me walking to the bar because that’s where I enjoy being when I go out to eat or drink. I was not greeted or talked to by anyone in the place. I sat there for a few minutes when finally I went to the host and asked is there a bartender? She replied “oh no we don’t have a bartender” it made me really uncomfortable that I wasn’t going to be served just because of my choice of where I wanted to sit. Thanks for the terrible first experience! Wouldn’t recommend:(
