    I came here for some alone time for lunch! It was perfect. The place is quaint and small but lots of seating for small and large groups. Because it was after lunch hour, I was the only one in but my server was very nice and helpful. I enjoyed the bao buns.... VERY DELICIOUS! The miso soup was meh. I will be back to try more!

    They have a few tvs with anime, amazing tables and lanterns. There is a great vibe.

    This place is one of the best ramen places in the area. I got the B1. Tonkotsu Ramen and my husband got the spicy garlic ramen. The pork broth was mild but very yummy. The pork chashu is amazing, same with the seasoned eggs. The only very mild complaint we had is there is a lot of beans sprouts in the ramen. The spring rolls are THE BEST I've ever had at a restaurant. They are outstanding for veggie spring rolls. A note for anyone who is interested in coming their default water, despite me loving it, is cucumber lemon water. So make sure you ask for regular water. The vibe is very nice, lots of tvs and lanterns. They only have one server, and it wasn't very busy when we came but he was very sweet and quick.

    Solid spot for ramen and poke in north Houston! I really enjoyed the poke! Everything tasted fresh! We also got the Takoyaki which was solid as well. Service was great too!

    Was excited to try this place when we got a mailer from them! The menu has lots of different options for different kinds of dietary needs and our server was happy to ask for me about menu items to ensure they were safe for me to eat. The spicy garlic edamame is a garlic lovers dream and absolutely delicious! I also really enjoyed the chicken wonton ramen. The broth you can tell is a rich chicken bone broth and the noodles were cooked perfectly still having a little chewy bite to them. The wontons lacked flavor but the veggies were nice and fresh. My husband greatly enjoyed his shaggy dog roll and looks forward to bringing some of our friends who like sushi to come try it. Food was yummy, staff was friendly and helpful and the restaurant itself has a cozy atmosphere and was very clean. Highly recommend giving this place a try!

    This is my third time coming here and It's okay, the basil chicken wasn't very flavorful, didn't taste like basil and needed salt. But was very fresh and slightly crispy. I wouldn't personally get it again. The katsu was VERY crispy and was on a bed of sautéed squash. It's crispy and thin and hits that craving. What lacks in flavor they make up for it in portions. I would gladly pay 15 for the katsu again. I come here if I have the taste for it

    I noticed Airi as I was stopping by next door at KF to get some work done. Soft opening of their restaurant. So thankful that I changed my plans to come here for lunch. The interior was crisp, clean, and modern. Really tasteful Japanese lanterns without being overdone. And an incredible mural depicting the street life within a Japanese urban area. I debated a bit with the menu (you wonder if a place that serves General Tao's chicken can produce some solid non-fusion food) but went with the waitress' recommendation to get the spicy miso ramen. The broth was beautifully rich and thick, with just the right amount of spice level that still allowed me to taste the rich textures of the meat. The pork belly was deliciously seasoned and amazingly tender. The soft boiled egg was perfect and the vegetables were fresh and crisp and added to an overall impressive ramen. There was nothing fusion about this dish at all- just honest to goodness, legit ramen.

    Tried the house fried rice. The rice was clean and consisted of chicken, shrimp, and pork. Pork was the primary meat in the dish. Shrimp was large and deveined. I appreciated the meal but feel the quantity didn't match the price point. The restaurant was nicely decorated and staff was lovely. I'd return.

    I've been to this location a few times and some menu items are better than others. The servers have always been very friendly, and the restaurant is typically quiet. I ordered takeout once and the food was not good; The dine-in experience was better.

    wasn't even worth the wait lol

    if I could give this place negative I would. My fiancé and I come in just an half an hour ago and we stand in the from the young girl tells us we can sit where ever . We sit down wait about 15 minutes just for her to make eye contact and come to the table . We gave her our order all at once because we figured it it took 15 mins for her to even acknowledge us then it's going to take forever for her to bring us anything. Mind you this young girl seems like she's the only one working, and there were about 4 other guest who were also waiting on things and to even be acknowledged people started walking out !!! Our appetizers came up and an older Asian women brought them out to us and we didn't even have drinks! So we're sitting here like we'll might as well eat these because we're never going to get our drinks. We finish eating then we get frustrated because after waiting 30 mins or a bit more for just drinks was insane ! So we decided to get up leave and of course pay . In the front is another couple waiting to pay and the lady ask for change and the young girl says they don't have change ... how do you not have change at an establishment where you can pay in cash?? So then we pay I have a 20 she tells me the same thing and continues to give me a 5 when she told us the dumplings were 11 bucks. Which I don't think is right but whatever , 20-11= 9 dollars , she owed me 4 dollars and wasn't going to give them to me , I told her I'm sorry there was no communication at all , besides before us sitting our own selves and the fact we got an appetizer before the drinks was crazy to me. So she wasn't going to get a tip but the fact she wasn't honest and tried to steal the money was insane! Do not come here horrible service, also she said the manager was in the back. Why the heck are they in the back doing nothing when they see this girl is swamped and obviously can't handle a few tables ? DO NOT COME HERE !!

    My daughter and I stopped in for dinner. It was kind of late Friday for dinner, around 8pm. They weren't very busy. We were acknowledged right away and the server was pretty attentive. He made suggestions for appetizers and meals and engaged well with my daughter, who didn't really know what she wanted. He was really patient. We ended up both getting the spicy miso ramen after sharing the gyoza appetizer. We both enjoyed the food, but it was a little spicy for her (she's 10). I thought it was a good spice level. Enough to get a little burn, but not be overwhelming. I wish I had added corn. You can customize the ramen, I just didn't think about it when I ordered. They had other dishes, as well. Yaki soba, bao, lots of appetizers. I was pleasantly surprised to see they had several flavors of Calpico. I got the strawberry. My daughter had strawberry Ramune. Lots of art on the walls, it's pretty neat. We sat at the big table, where if it was busy, multiple parties would sit together. The centerpieces were pretty - rocks and seashells. Will definitely be back.

    A chain ramen shop isn't normally a preferred dining choice. However, if it's JINYA, it's a ya…read more Service is top notch. I appreciate they have three vegetarian ramen options. Flying V Harvest was fantastic. I drank that broth like I just came out of the Sahara. So good. The Impossible meat fusion is a funny add but a good protein bump. It was a few days ago but I think I'm still full from that ramen bowl. The vibe is modern high ceiling bumping music; my in-laws found it to be too loud. I think they are giving you an excuse to lean in and get a little closer to your companion. The vibe is chic yet also casual so bring whoever you want but this would work for date night. The font on the menus is squint inducing so do your research ahead of time or prepare to spend more time perusing the menu than usual, especially with the dim lighting. They offer thin or thick noodles and can mix some broth options to adjust spice level. Drinks- the smoked in front of your face whiskey is a treat and a show. Solid spot. No regrets. Salivating at the thought of the next visit.

    We decided we wanted ramen on a recent cold Houston night and went to one of our consistent places,…read moreJINYA. JINYA is located in the heart of midtown in a popular restaurant strip. Their ramen is flavorful and solid and their service is consistent. Parking: parking is free in the garage around the corner from JINYA. We went during the week and the garage was not packed. There's also paid street parking around the restaurant that you can find but look for signs to know when you have to pay and when you don't. Service: service here is very good. They have an army of waitresses and waiters who check on tables and we never had to ask for refills or never had to flag down someone. Our food came out in a timely manner. The one thing I will say about service is the appetizers we ordered came out right before our ramen so we had all of our food at one time which was a lot. I wish they would've spaced out the food timing a little more. Ambiance: JINYA has a modern interior and open concept. They have tables, booths, and 2 big community tables in the center of the restaurant. The restaurant playlist is hip and modern. The inside of the restaurant is dimly lit so if you have bad eyesight, get ready to use your flashlight to read the menu. Food: we ordered two ramens and the gyoza and edamame. Gyoza: these were fried well and had a gyoza sauce that came on the table. The wrapper was thin and they were not too oily. We would order this again. Edamame: this was typical edamame. Nothing too special. Would not get this again when we come back. Creamy Classic Tori-Paitian: this is a chicken ramen with wavy noodles that came with fried enoki mushrooms, chicken chasu, butter, spinach and a corn rib. This ramen was rich in flavor and had so many fun, delicious toppings. The corn run was grilled nicely and I wish I had more of them in my bowl. I'm a sucker for enoki mushrooms and this did not disappoint. I took the enoki mushrooms out of the ramen immediately so they didn't get soggy fast and that was the move if you want the mushrooms to stay crunchy. The chicken broth was rich and light which was a great combo. I finished this bowl to the last drop. JINYA Chicken Ramen: my girlfriend got the chicken ramen with a side of bamboo. Warning on the bamboo: the bamboo comes dressed in sesame oil and sole hot oil so they are a little spicy. The chicken ramen broth was once again rich with flavor and light. The chicken chase was good and this ramen comes with thin noodles instead of wavy noodles. Overall JINYA hits the spot when craving ramen or some hot soup on a cold day. The chicken broth is legit and I will be closing back to try the pork broth soon. My only qualm with JINYA is the price at over $17 per bowl of ramen. There are cheaper ramen places but JINYA flavor makes up for the priciness.

    While I was first introduced to this place over three years ago by my sister, I had not returned…read moresince then. However, since crawfish season is one of my favorite times of the year, I had to come back to try their limited edition ramen. Just like my first visit, the staff were extremely friendly, the food came out incredibly quickly, and the overall experience felt comforting and welcoming. I ordered the seasonal bowl, The Crawmen, which came with crawfish tonkotsu broth, andouille sausage, bayou butter, corn, and peppers. While the bowl was clearly inspired by a crawfish boil, I felt like it could have leaned even further into those flavors with more crawfish and a stronger boil seasoning overall. The ramen was definitely delicious, but the broth did not quite have enough crawfish boil flavor to fully separate it from their standard tonkotsu ramen. At times, it mostly tasted like the original broth with andouille sausage added in. Even so, it was still an enjoyable bowl of ramen, though I would probably stick to one of their regular menu options over this seasonal special. My mom and I also shared the Karaage, which arrived very quickly while still being piping hot, crispy, and juicy inside. On the other hand, I would personally skip the Sakura Sweet Tea and Strawberry Yuzu Lemonade in the future since they mostly tasted like their regular counterparts without adding anything particularly unique. Overall, I still really enjoy the welcoming atmosphere and reliable quality of this place, especially the ramen and karaage. While the seasonal bowl did not fully live up to its concept for me, the experience itself was still enjoyable enough that I would gladly return again.

(7/10) The truffle shoyu had a cleaner taste and the truffle flavor was present, but mild. I thought the miso gachi broth was a bit too salty for my liking.

They deserve 4.5 stars because come on it's 24/7 ramen. Parking is cool but limited. First impression walking in was that it has this really unique and dope vibe. I love the set up and it was giving spacious. There were cassette tapes aligned on the wall in the booth we sat in, which I thought was very creative. There was Anime characters above the doors when you first walk in, with Anime playing on the TVs at the bar. Oh yeah, THERES A FULL BAR if you ready to get your drink on. Now, off rip the host was annoying. She was kinda rushy and caught an attitude when we asked for a booth. We can't even describe the vibe she gave off fr. It was just BLEH. Our table was clean which is very important to us and our waitress Yasmin was kind and patient with our questions, and dietary substitutions. We ordered the Super Saiyan Nachos as an appetizer for $16. Maaann, these were so delicious!!!!! We actually substituted the pork for shiitake mushrooms and when I tell y'all we were surprised at the portion We both looked at each other like "YAAASSSSSS" Next came our Ramen orders which didn't take long at all. Not that we were counting because we were INDULGED in those nachos LOL Babii rated her Oxtail Ramen a '7/10' for $25. She would've preferred to get shiitake mushrooms because she particularly didn't like the fact that the Oxtails were shredded and not on the bone (which is what we both expected when reading it). She also would've liked if they gave her a spice option since she likes spicy ramen. Unfortunately, we had to purchase a nasty 'Kappa' sauce which was not worth the $1.50. To her the portion size was A1, however we paid for the meat so it wasn't worth the $25. Now, the Vegetable Garden to me was a '8.5/10' it was good, had amazing portion size and they were not lacking in the texture department. I mean, the spinach noodles were delish, vegetable cooked very Al dente. I cannot complain on that part. To me it was missing a bit of flavor, maybe salt would've done the trick. Overall though, it did have the flavor of the mushrooms which wasn't bad. Most importantly though, I felt light after consuming my meal. Therefore, I have to give it all a high rating. GO TRY THIS PLACE OUT, ITS WORTH THE TRY
