    Spicy chicken, Ramen and some sort of fried rice entrée
    Jill M.

    Great welcoming service. Was quickly seated after the hostess finish getting his carryout order together. Server was great gracious and helpful. The atmosphere was lively just perfect for Monday early supper. I find the menu pretty easy to read, though. I did learn some things from my dinner partner that I didn't know were possible. I ordered the spicy Ramen chicken, which I read was one of the restaurant faves. And I ordered a crispy rice, tuna something which wasn't what I expected. It's basically a cube of crispy rice with them. Some sort of Tunis mix squeezed on. It looked premade and was OK. My Ramen was flavorful and somewhat rich. The temperature was not very hot but hot enough for most people. I love the sauces on the table that help add more flavor and heat to my dish. All in all I would come back and try the crispy chicken instead of whatever I got as an appetizer it was mediocre at best. *Tip - it is paid parking in the area just like any place else in Atlanta but not everywhere. The fee is one of the least expensive I've ever experienced and I guess worth it because after dinner you can go and get ice cream from Jenni's

    Food came fast and really great service. The dumplings are to die for! It's probably my favorite item on the menu. The place is really clean and quiet. I went during lucnch time and there wasn't a lunch time rush which I think is nice cause it feels more like a private lunch experience to me. All around great. Wish the prices weren't so high on some of the items but the food taste great!

    JINYA Happy Hour Review JINYA never disappoints! I stopped in during happy hour and had an excellent experience from start to finish. The J Girl mocktail was refreshing, while the spicy tuna tacos were flavorful with the perfect kick. The spicy chicken ramen was the star--rich, satisfying, and packed with flavor. Service was attentive and welcoming, making the entire visit enjoyable. Parking is pay-to-park, so keep that in mind, but the food and service absolutely make the visit worthwhile. A great spot for ramen lovers and anyone looking for a lively dining experience! Hey!

    I ordered the birria ramen and it was so good! 10/10. We ordered a lot of appetizers too. I didn't know the boiled eggs were extra until I saw the bill lol. The food took a while to come out and our server wasn't very attentive. We waited a while for the bill and to get our card back. But overall, the food was really good! Also, be aware of the pay to park signs! My husband noticed the QR code was actually a sticker that could be pulled off. He brought it to the owner's attention, but nothing was done about it.

    While the ambiance and service was great, I ended up extremely sick from this food. The ramen smelled amazing but I knew something about it tasted off. There was so much grease in this bowl of ramen that I didn't realize until later. I was sick the entire evening from this food and had to leave work early. I will never be back.

    I used to love Jinya. The food is always yummy and the prices are usually pretty good, but recently this place has really gone downhill. I will absolutely never eat at Jinya again after my last two experiences.The second-to-last time I ordered from them, I got horrible food poisoning. I decided to give them one more chance, but my most recent visit was the final straw. While sitting at my table, I saw a roach crawl right next to my bowl. When I pointed it out to the staff, all they offered to do was remake the meal. In what world is remaking food next to a live bug acceptable? They definitely should have comped my entire meal.

    Jinya is always a solid bowl of ramen. One of my favorite parts is that there is a long list of items to customize your bowl. I'm a huge garlic lover and it makes my tastebuds happy that I can get a dish of fresh garlic on the side to add as much as I want to my ramen. I also really enjoy that they make the perfect jammy egg. Today I chose an extra side that I haven't had before, the spicy tuna tacos. What a perfectly flavorful little bite. The staff is always friendly and service is quick and efficient. The restaurant is simple and clean.

    Literally the best place to have ramen! Great customer service and the food is always excellent! The ambiance is always clean and there's great spacing.

    This was my second visit, that says a lot because I rarely go back to the same place twice. But this ramen spot? It pulled me right back in. If you're on the hunt for GOOD ramen, consider this your sign. I stopped by for a weekday lunch and was seated immediately-- yaaay! . The service is quick without feeling rushed & your food comes out fast, hot, and full of flavor. Let's talk about the vibe: the patio is chef's kiss right now. Perfect weather, and they've got umbrellas if the sun starts doing a little too much. Now for the best part; everything is packed with flavor and the portions are just right. If you like a little kick, the spicy tuna is a must-try. Not overpowering, just enough heat to keep things interesting. At this point... a third visit isn't a "maybe," it's inevitable

    Came in as a party of 2 and were told a 40 minute wait that pleasantly ended being only 20 min. We had walked over to Righteous Room for a drink while we waited. We were seated at the bar and ordered a bowl of tonkatsu black and red. I ordered mine at a level 10 but our server put it in as an 8. The 8 was fine because I actually don't like that the additional spice makes the soup thicker. Next time I'll order it as a 5 to avoid the up charge and add the table spicy sauce instead. I will say the meat and egg are good. The meat is tender and juicy and the egg is perfectly gooey. Dont forget to add fresh garlic! But overall, the ramen is just fine. The soup flavor is just okay. For dessert we ordered green tea mochi and it was mostly melted. Those should come straight out of the freezer to allow them to melt slightly when the get to the table. Ours were mushy with the ice cream oozing out.

    This place is fantastic! I love the different options for appetizers and drinks. The bao bun was delicious, bun was soft. I also got the salmon poke tacos and it was fresh and flavorful. I ordered the black ramen, it was tasty. I thought the egg could have been marinated a little longer or could have had a deeper flavor. The service was very attentive. Good place for large parties, you should check in on yelp!

    Ramen is a good look when hot or cold outside! Tried this local gem a few weeks back with some colleagues in hot Atlanta. I forgot the name of the specific ramen I tried but it was with veggie broth and tofu. I do not like soft tofu, I probably should have requested it be grilled. C'est la vie! I also prefer a more creamy broth consistency which this broth was not.I started with some sushi appetizers (because why not). I enjoyed my food but I wasn't wowed by any of my selections. Our server was attentive and kind. It was your typical Ramen stop with lively greetings, intimate table closeness and food arrived quickly. Would I return? Uuummm maybe! I've had better vegetarian ramen in other states (CA). While an unfair comparison, this experience was a solid 4.

    Parking is atrocious -- just go ahead and bring your patience with you. This place stays packed, so expect a bit of a wait. That said, the food and service do make up for it. They had a special running when I went, and the ramen was solid. Nothing earth-shattering, but definitely satisfying. What stood out most was the variety on the menu -- enough that I'd come back just to try something different next time. Bonus points to the staff: super friendly, helpful, and they gave some great drink recommendations that paired really well with the food. Overall, if you're willing to fight for parking and wait a bit, it's worth the trip.

They hold a jazz night every Tuesday with live music for a nice chill, yet fun, vibe.

I didn't realize that the two were connected! FYI, if you sit downstairs, you'll be seated next to where the live music performers will be playing, so it will be louder there. As for the drinks, I tried the Zombie. I loved it so much, I ordered a second one instead of trying a different one! It tasted sweet and slightly tropical with the rum and spiced liqueur.

Having dined at Elektra already this weekend, we wanted to try something different. Hostess started with some type of unposted dress coded nonsense because my son was in a hoodie (which he agreed to remove) before we were granted access. Arrive inside and it's standing room only at the bar - all seating areas are clearly designed for large groups and they're all occupied, as were the handful of actual seats at the bar. Proceed to order numerous dishes from the menu to-go. Bar tenders, in fairness, were very pleasant btw. Nowhere to wait except standing there like idiots until bartender says we can sit in a reserved section for a bit. Nasty waitress comes by soon after to usher us away, despite conflicting instructions from the bar. Anyway, insult to injury when it appears I've been charged a service charge and a gratuity charge and the dishes were small and mostly not great. The wings were ok, but the grilled cheese was gross, the flatbread was minuscule, the cheese plate was meh. Overall, between the mostly rude to indifferent staff attitude, lack of seating, and poor quality of food this place deserves a pass. ,

When you walk in the mood is instantly set with by the low ambient lighting and decor.

We were seated at a table in the main dining area, but there's also a full bar with ample seating and very nice view. The seats were very comfortable and the tables are spaced in a way for intimacy. They also have music playing the background & the playlist was diverse with music ranging from K-Pop to R&B. Now on to our meal! The menu is pretty straight forward and broken down into apps/small plates, mains/big dishes, and a separate menu for cocktails. To start off we got drinks: lychee martini 10/10 & "cucumber salad" 8/10. Both were very good. The ingredients used make the drinks very intriguing and definitely something you've probably never tasted. It's suggested to keep an open mind when trying their cocktails. For food we had the shrimp wontons 10/10 (sauce was so good ... a little spice to it), the salt and pepper shrimp 8/10 (a little salty but fried well), the Thai basil fried rice 10/10 (the fried egg on top and the pickled cabbage was a great touch), and last the lobster pot 10/10 (presentation alone would make me go back to visit ... this dish was so good and flavor full). Overall my experience was great and I would definitely make it a priority to visit when I come back.

First, I tried to see the menu online but quickly found there are a lot of menus and they change, so you can't really know what they're serving. They had just five entrees to pick from, and none were very appetizing. Each was over-engineered, too. They were good about asking about allergies, but if you're traveling and careful about introducing new things to your diet, maybe this place isn't for you. They do have a steak. At $200, it's made for the entire table. You can't just get a steak, even though they clearly have steak. Frankly, a lot of the menu was just gross. Sweetbreads, steak tartare, veal. We picked a chicken plate with potatoes. The potatoes were fine. The chicken was very dry. I asked for iced tea. "We don't serve tea products" was the response. WTF? And while the cocktail and wine choices seemed numerous, the beer was extremely limited. We just stuck with water. Then there was the service. The staff were polite and prompt, but some of the habits were just deeply weird. They kept coming by and folding our napkins. Like, you get up, use the bathroom (an unmarked door adjacent to the kitchen), come back, and somebody has picked up your napkin, the one you've been touching your face with, folded it with their bare hands, and left it there. Look, servers roll silverware and I'm no germophobe, but we really don't need more people touching my napkin throughout the meal, do we? This carried over to other staff who would randomly stop by to clear plates and wipe the table down while we all had to stop talking, watch them replace perfectly clean silverware with new perfectly clean silverware, and then leave. Always with new people. None of this makes it a bad restaurant. It's probably exactly what some people are looking for. It just isn't for me.
