Walk into a mini booth diner with all plastered dollar bills by patrons. Menu is minimal but easy to order. Ramen broth is super super rich and yummy (minimal or no MSG because I was not thirsty). The broth is excellent and like NYC or Japan. Whoever is the chef certainly hits the spot with itch broth and springy noodles.

The miso ramen has a very light and delicate flavor which I enjoyed , however the mushrooms were a tad too sweet for me after some time. The veggie gyoza is fantastic as an appetizer. The service was very friendly. I'd definitely come back here!

Solid ramen place that's taken me WAY too long to get to, considering it's been right in my…read moreneighborhood for quite some time. I'm currently getting over some kind of sinus infection and I wanted a nice comforting bowl of ramen while avoiding the Knicks chaos this past Wednesday night. Walked in around 6:30pm and the place was bigger than I expected (did they expand into 2 storefronts?) and it must have been pre-dinner rush because I was immediately seated. They had SO many different appealing ramen options including a whole list of "New York Style" ones inspired by different city cultures, but I went with the basic Shoyu Ramen because the garlic and ginger-based broth called out to my sinuses. Tasty, well-seasoned, great noodle texture (Shoyu Ramen contained thicker noodles than standard ramen), delicious broth and quite hearty! I was quite stuffed after finishing. Only thing I would say was the egg. It seems they may have skimped on the egg quality and that's my favorite ramen topping. A better-tasting egg would have made this 5 stars. Also got a Yuzu Green Tea Lemonade. Bit of an initial tastebud shock at first, then quickly becomes refreshing and addicting. Staff were very friendly and attentive and made it a pleasure to have a solo bowl of ramen there. The mark of a good ramen spot that left an impact on me? When I'm still thinking about it the next morning. Well-played Jin Ramen, I'll most certainly be back. There's so many options left to try!

I never dine in because it's a small place and not conducive for dining in for me. Nonetheless, the value for what you pay is decent and your belly will be full-- even if you don't order the extra noodle option for the ramen dishes. I'm focusing heavily on the ramen because that's mostly what I order from here. I've tried their sushi rolls and would not really recommend those unless you really don't have high expectations. The last couple of orders the fish cake has gotten significantly smaller. The saving grace is that they usually load a respectable amount of vegetables and the broth is flavorful even if not homemade for many hours. While not a destination location, it is a good staple in the neighborhood.

They apparently also do hibachi and I never entered from that side or seen it happening, it's completely different vibe from their lunch time atmosphere. We got seated very quickly since we weren't doing hibachi (but def gotta go back and do that). Bae wanted us to come here for the grilled squid but I knew I wanted to have more than that to eat so I also got the torched salmon. When it came to trying to figure what else I wanted I ran into a little bit of indecision but our waiter was super patient. I typically like some avocado in my sushi but the dinner options they had weren't screaming out to me. I asked our server if I could modify one of the platters and she was not only accommodating and attentive but also hilarious. I specifically asked about sushi with avocado so when I wanted to replace one of the rolls, she was like "That doesn't come with avocado just so you know" and I responded that the other two rolls (that came with avocado) "would be enough avocado for me." She then joked with me, asking me if I was sure and that got a good laugh out of me. Very familial and sweet. Now on to the actual food. The Grilled squid was SO GOOD, I see why my date was feenin to get me here so I could try it. It wasn't too chewy; the tentancles were nice and crispy with a soft tender finish. (You'll see that tender is the name of the game with this spot.) The torched salmon was cooked to perfection and had a nice umami flavor, it came topped with roe also had a real nice spicy kick, again SUPER TENDER Bae got the eel don and I got the dinner combo and traded the California roll with spicy salmon cus that's my favorite sushi ‍ The eel was (to no one's surprise but my continued delight) so good and tender, these people know what they're doing when it comes to seafood! Definitely worth the trek uptown for some well made food

I opted for the miso soup which I loved, they were really generous with the seaweed which I feel like most places skimp on. However I do wish there was more soup since it was just half filled. I got the salon avocado, spicy yellowtail, and spicy tuna rolls. My favorite were the spicy yellowtail but tbh it was hard to distinguish it from the tuna. I ordered via Yelp and the food was ready for the time I set to pick it up. The lady at the counter was also very nice and friendly. The place is a space hole in the wall but ideal for delivery/pick up. Would be back to try more rolls next time I want to treat myself to some sushi for lunch.
