I’ve been to this Jinya location many times and have tried all of their halal/vegan/vegetarian friendly ramen options, every single one has been amazing! Have also tried some of their appetizers such as the tacos, shrimp, and edamame which were great. Noise level is kinda loud, especially during evenings/rush hour. But you can still hear those sitting close to you. Can get pretty crowded. Kid friendly but again noise may be too much for some little ones. Location is wheelchair accessible. Parking is free in parking garage and the walk over is two to three minutes. The garage is a bit small so may take a while to find a free parking spot. The dim lighting creates a cozy and relaxing ambiance. Service is friendly and helpful, though expect some wait time during peak hours, whether it's for a table or your order. Despite the rush, the staff are always sweet and ready to assist. Overall, definitely recommend checking out Jinya if you're in the mood for delicious ramen in a fun, lively atmosphere.

This was our first time at Jinya and our server, Nhat, was absolutely fantastic! She was very friendly, attentive and thoughtful and we had a great dining experience because of her. Food was also excellent with variety of options. Would love to come back again- thanks Nhat!

JINYA Ramen Bar delivers an outstanding culinary experience with top-tier ramen that truly impresses. From the moment you step inside, you’re greeted warmly by the staff, setting a welcoming atmosphere. The menu boasts a variety of rich, flavorful broths, perfectly cooked noodles, and well-balanced toppings that make every bite satisfying. However, there were a couple of service-related hiccups. the water was surprisingly unpleasant—almost undrinkable, which was disappointing given how essential it is to a dining experience. Another small but noticeable issue was the inconsistency in greetings. One charming aspect of JINYA is that guests are greeted upon entering and leaving, which adds a touch of hospitality. However, when my date and I left, we didn’t receive the usual farewell. It felt a little personal, as we had seen others get that same warm acknowledgment when departing. Despite these minor drawbacks, the ramen itself was exceptional, making the visit well worth it. If you’re looking for incredible noodles and deep, flavorful broth, JINYA is a fantastic choice. Hopefully, next time, the service will match the quality of the food.

Came for my birthday as a last minute dinner choice! Server Jazmin was in training with Zee and they both made sure we were taken care of. Attentive, informative with great recommendations! I had the limited time Birria Ramen and my fiance had the Spicy Chicken Ramen! Add broccolini and the crispy chicken Food was impeccable and came out quickly! Music had a funky cool feel. Dim lighting made it feel so cozy! Would recommend!! 10/10 and yes, we WILL be back!! Strawberry lychee-tini was a little sweet but so damn good!! Really cool presentation on the Smoked Old Fashioned and that too was really yummy! Arigato!!

The space is cozy and beautifully designed — modern, warm, and effortlessly cool without trying too hard. Perfect for a casual date night or catching up with friends. The food? Absolutely delicious. The ramen was rich, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. But the real surprise stars of the night were the appetizers — the tempura Brussels sprouts were crispy, savory perfection, and the tempura shrimp hit that just-right crunch with a light, airy batter. Huge shoutout to Emily, our server, who was friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience even better. You could tell she genuinely cared about the food and the guests — a total gem. Can’t wait to come back — this place is the kind of spot you want to keep to yourself... but also tell everyone about.

We had an incredible time. We came with our 3-year-old daughter. She loves this type of food. The flavor is delicious, and we loved the appetizers. The service is incredible, always super understanding and loving. He served us Alp and recommended some fabulous appetizers. I recommend him 100% out of 100.

This place has the triforce of power. Food is great the service is great and the atmosphere is great. The interior design is something to take inspiration from. The food is heavenly. The drinks are priced fairly. I took myself on a much needed self love date and I enjoyed every moment from entry to exit.
