The food is Indonesian/ southeast asian style. I have to say there is some delicious food that they are making here. Came here with a party of five and had dinner right in front of the doorway. There is a pretty bar and also a lot of small chairs and tables for couples and dates. The inside is adorable and the food is good. I really enjoyed their noodle dishes and also this Bananna leaf wrap with rice, curry, and tasty chicken. Get the papaya salad it is also nice and refreshing! If you have a group you could order multiple dishes and share with everyone like family style. So if you want to try some good food with bold flavor this is a cool spot to check out! It does get busy.

The food is excellent, and the prices are actually not unreasonable for the area, especially because the space and service are wonderful. We made a reservation ahead of time, and good thing we did because it was quite busy on a Friday night. We ordered too much food, and had to take some to go. We got the Chicken Wings Lekker, Beef Ribs Underground, Nasi Goreng and I feel like one more thing that I do not recall. But we barely made a dent in the menu... there's so much more I want to try. This is going to be a regular on the roster!

It didn't blow me away but it was packaged well and tasted good. The amount was a little underwhelming considering the list price of $18.50 (Before delivery fees etc). But I enjoyed it and finished it all the same. The coconut shrimp weren't that great though. The flavor was a little iffy, it felt like they perhaps put a bunch of spices or lemon flavor that overpowered the shrimp. I still finished them but it was a little underwhelming. Overall, it's decent Pho on the west side but a bit pricey.

We came for lunch and tried a handful of things. Our favorite was the ragu & lasagna of the 4 pastas we ordered.

When we weren't able to sit at the bar due to the stroller, she was able to seat us fairly quickly so that we could stay at the restaurant. It's so nice to know that there are still kind people in this world.

I have been here twice, and this place is seriously good…read more My first visit was fantastic. We were on a girls' weekend in L.A. and spent the day touring my daughter's friend around all the famous landmarks the city has to offer. After driving out to the Santa Monica Pier, we had worked up a serious appetite. A quick Yelp search led us to this ramen restaurant, and we whipped the car around and made a beeline straight for it. As soon as we walked in, we were greeted and seated on the patio. We were hoping for seats near the fire pit, but those are definitely a hot commodity and fill up fast. Our server was quick, friendly, and helpful with menu suggestions. I ordered the Spicy Vegan Creamy Ramen. The menu offers a wide variety of options, and I was really impressed with how accommodating they are for meatless diners. They have several vegetarian and vegan choices, and most dishes can be modified for most dietary preferences. Our food came out quickly, piping hot, and beautifully presented. One bite of my ramen and I was instantly in heaven. It was so good that I finished the entire bowl in record time. I would have ordered a second one, but I was completely full. I honestly feel like I could eat this every day of my life and never get tired of it. Our server kept our glasses full and checked on us regularly. The service was top-notch and made a relaxing end to a long day of sightseeing. It truly was an awesome experience. On my second visit, I was in town with my family, and I told them we were not leaving L.A. without eating here first. We came on a Saturday, and the restaurant was pretty packed. We waited about 15 minutes for a table, and to my surprise, we scored the fire pit seats I had wanted so badly the first time. Sitting next to the fire, feeling the warmth and watching the flames dance in the evening air, made the experience even more special. The second visit was just as great as the first. Great service, a relaxing atmosphere, and incredible food from start to finish. I truly enjoyed every minute of it. What more could you ask for? I highly recommend Jinya Ramen Bar. Trust me, it is absolutely worth it.

First time trying JINYA! When visiting this location, expect to find street parking. It wasn't that…read morehard to find parking but maybe because it was Super Bowl Sunday? We were lucky to find a metered parking that already had money in it, yay! There are a bunch of eateries on this street as well. It's a small restaurant inside, but more space outside. Not that busy at all, there were only 2 other parties dining at the same time as us during prime dinner time. I saw they were running a Demon Slayer promotion and I wanted the free spoon haha. So I ordered the Tokyo Yatai Ramen and my friend ordered the Birria Ramen. The waiter or owner(?) who talk our order was also very nice! Very quick and efficient with our order. It didn't take too long for our ramen to be prepared. First glance, it doesn't look like your traditional ramen. It actually looks more Chinese style ramen. Especially the noodles? The texture is not quite the same as traditional ramen shops (and I have been to Japan). The ramen bowl itself was pretty simple, strong flavors from the chicken broth, the pork itself was pretty alright. It's honestly pretty standard but does not have a Japanese feel to it. I tried my friend's Birria Ramen and it's literally tastes like a taco in a bowl haha, which is pretty accurate. So even my Chinese friend likes the birria ramen because it reminds of her this Chinese instant noodle she always has lol. So I guess meaning in a good and bad way, but she still enjoyed it. Overall, the whole experience was not bad. I do only see JINYA in the more 'whiter' communities, so I find this to be not very authentic Japanese ramen. Also it's pricy for what it is when I can get an authentic bowl for $16.

Decent amount of vegetarian/vegan options. My partner and I got the eggplant chili (2x), miso mushroom, and the pickled wasabi and pickled konbu. They smells amazing when fresh. The struggle is you want to eat it immediately before the seaweed goes soggy but need to find a place to eat. These were $4.50 or $4.75 each. Pretty good sized with plenty of filling. A great snack or lunch if you eat multiple.

All of the appetizers were rather small portioned for the price. Nonetheless very tasty just a little small for my liking and a dinner table of 5 guests. - The Street Style corn was 3/5 it almost tasted artificially sweet, it came with the smallest serving of pita bread. It took two additional orders of the bread to actually enjoy the appetizer. - The Wagyu hummus was 4/5, tasty but I feel you're mainly paying the sticker price of $35 for the smallest pieces of the meat. - Skirt steak was 4/5 its rather hard to mess up a skirt steak but it could've used extra seasoning. Potatoes on the side seemed to just be thrown next to cuts of asparagus. - Lasagnette Bolognese 4/5 seemed pretty traditional aside from the noodles, it was like uncut lasagna sheets which was a nice twist on the dish but a pretty standard sauce. - Chicken Parm 5/5, the parm was rather large, about two palms together in size. The plate seemed to be slightly spiced which was savory. - Chocolate Souffle was 3/5, nothing too special about the dish, for $18 I was hoping for something a little more savory then a brownie bite sized loaf that may have been baked for a few minutes served next to a very small portion of their 'house made ice cream'. Thank you for the memories, not entirely sure I would be back. My bill of just under $500 did not really seem to be worth it.

I'd be less than honest if I said I had no idea who he was talking about. The only bunny I followed to any extent at all during my life went by "Bugs". This place is built for these type of events. I could say that much. My cousin enjoyed his alcohol of choice, and together we shared some pretty good chicken tenders. All in all a pretty solid experience given the expected noise, chaos, and anything else that goes along with a Super Bowl halftime show, much less the game itself.

Surprisingly there weren't a ton near the main shopping street, but we immediately saw this place and there was availability on the rooftop. We grabbed it and off we went! We were surrounded by heated lamps which we actually needed since it got a tad bit breezy with intermittent mist. But fortunately, we got a great hostess who recommended some great options for us. The Japanese sweet potato was fire. The broccolini was the better complement to the Gruyère pizza. That pie had so much flavor and pizzazz to it. What a great way to end my LA trip! For anyone in the area, they should definitely come here for dinner.

Gjelina we gotta talk... everything was great UNTIL WE FOUND A LARGE PIECE OF PLASTIC IN THE PIZZA…read moreCRUST?!? This is not only gross to have something indigestible in the food you're serving but also a choking hazard that could have resulted in someone's death Before the discovery- We had a great time at the actual restaurant and really enjoyed the pork belly with grits. The mushrooms were also very complimentary. The Grilled squid was bright but not as much of a flavor explosion as I was hoping for. The guanciale pizza was tasty at the restaurant- but we were SHOCKED when we got home and found a giant piece of plastic in the crust!!! We believe it must've been stuck when the dough was rolled up or something? But quality control here! We didn't spend $200+ to eat literal plastic I understand the need to preserve items in the preparation process but baking indigestible materials & choking hazards into the food is NOT OKAY!

Got a reservation here for brunch and got here at about 11:30. The restaurant was hardly busy. Our…read moreserver was really nice and attentive and patient in explaining the menu to us since it was our first time visiting the restaurant. We started off with the hand rolls - uni, tuna, and pork. They were just okay. I had high hopes for the uni. However I was a little disappointed because they rolled it with shiso leaf and it overpowered the sweetness of the uni. We got the tuna sashimi plate and the pork gyoza, both were okay. I like the citrus sauce that came on the side and it went really well with the gyoza. The server highly recommended us getting some vegetables and I'm so glad we took his advice. We got the roasted broccolini and sweet potatoes. The broccolini was surprisingly good and had a nice char to it. It went well with the sauce and was a very tasty dish. The sweet potato dish was a standout, very balanced, not too sweet. Overall the two vegetable dishes were surprising standouts. We also got to try an off-menu item: the Japanese curry with beef topped with an egg. It was hearty and we were pretty full by the end. Even though the server recommended us getting 6-9 dishes in total, excluding the hand roll, we felt like we ordered the right amount of food. They course out your meal for you so you definitely get full by the end. We spent about an hour and a half there in total and had a great time. We also enjoyed the ambiance of the restaurant with music from their vinyl record player. Great vibes.
