    Drink menu
    Hannah B.

    Very sad to see this place change, the menu has gotten much smaller and food has gone down. Changed their menu and now the appetizers are much smaller, no more spicy shrimp tempura . In all seriousness there are much less options than there used to be but they prioritized their drink menu it looks like. We got the Edemame and I thought it came with salt sprinkled on it usually, definitely did not this time. The spicy chicken ramen tasted good but the noodles were soggy. I asked for extra bean sprouts twice and never got them. My brother said the tofu was very slimy and not enjoyable. I asked the waiter if they do anything for birthdays and he said I gotchu covered. After an hour of waiting for whatever it was we left. The place is still very enjoyable to be at but the food just doesn't cut it anymore.

    Miso Eggplant small plate. I literally could've eaten my weight in these.
    Pamela H.

    After having this Miso Eggplant on Monday, I had to go back to have it for Wednesday lunch with white rice. It was soooooooo good that I took another order home for tomorrow's lunch. De-lish! Again service was spot on with Piper, upbeat and tons of positive energy. Sitting solo at the little sushi bar gave me just the right amount of anonymity as well as enough space for my lunch and ipad. Again, I recommend!

    Tonkotsu Red...Level 8. YUMMY!!
    Chandra S.

    Jinya is my absolute favorite ramen bar in Baton Rouge. The Tonkotsu Red allows me to pick my spice level (which is an 8), add extras like fresh garlic, cabbage and broccoli and swap to thin noodles. This dish makes my tastebuds dance!! The restaurant is usually full of folks at the normal busy times of lunch and early dinner. Weekends are always packed and rightfully so because there is something for everyone at this BR Jewel! It's a cute spot to stop in before or after a movie or just as a standalone excursion. If you love ramen, you'll love Jinya!!

    Carlos was our server and he was very attentive and came to check on us often. He gave us best sellers and personal opinions on the menu which was great! I had the premium tonkotsu red ramen which was pretty good! My friend had a creamy spicy vegan ramen which shocked me with how flavorful it was. I had the e tomo e tomo drink which I loved as well! The crispy rice was a nice, light starter too! Definitely will be back!

    Crispy chicken, edamame, spicy tuna crispy rice

    I love JINYA! Their happy hour specials are nice, I always get the tuna crispy rice. Today I tried their spicy creamy vegan ramen and wowwwwwwww literally perfect. It has a great level of spice. I added an egg per our servers recommendation and pork. Literally some of the best ramen I've ever had. Our server, Lana, was a great help. I also love to sit outside, vibes are nice out there.

    Birria Ramen
    B.V. R.

    We went the day after Thanksgiving and it was extremely busy, but to be expected since everyone was out shopping. Staff was super friendly, very polite, and did an excellent job of servicing customers. Very clean and intimate atmosphere. I love the setup and ambiance of the place. I ordered the Birria Ramen and it did not disappoint. I'm still craving it, lol. I will certainly return to try other things and of course my picture shows I stirred it up a bit, it wasn't served that way. Surprisingly, the price was fair for lunch for two. Overall, it was great experience.

    I usually have a good experience but I ordered my meal from DoorDash and there was already eaten food in my delivery ! Worst experience !

    I've had jinya ramen in Houston, but this is my first time having it in Baton Rouge. From what I remember, it is pretty similar and of course the Ramen was great. I think my only complaint would be that I wish it had more meat as it seems that most other ramen places I've been to had larger portions of meat. Great location with great service. The food came out fast and was very flavorful, not too salty. I'd come back if I'm in town.

    Whitney was a great bartender. I had the impossible gyoza and a flying violette. Main course I went with the flying vegan harvest and it was served properly. I got one jinya chicken ramen order to go. The restaurant kept a steady flow of a crowd. The bar wasn't too busy.

She was so personable and attentive without being the least bit hovery. What a gem in the front of house! I started with a delightfully tangy cucumber martini and the dish I came in search of--beef carpaccio. It was beautifully presented and the flavors of quality beef, capers, shaved Parmesan, arugula and a tiny dash of red onion melded perfectly with the drizzles of delicious dressing. The drink and the app were batting 1000 and the pizza continued the streak. OMG the margharita pizza--I added mushrooms and halved cherry tomatoes--was perfectly fired. Sometimes, when dining alone, I won't eat all the crust, so I can enjoy the center of the pizza. Trust me when I say this is a pizza that you will want to eat every bite of the light crispy crust. The atmosphere is a high-end look with a relaxed vibe. I really enjoyed my meal and recommend you give this place a try if you want beautifully prepared food and drink delivered with 5-star service!!

I think their pizzas were amazing and highly recommend! I thought everything else was average. TOMATOES BASIL SOUP - typical, not amazing, not bad with croutons & fresh basili CAESAR - typical Caesar, nothing special Chopped romaine, garlic croutons, parmesan reggiano, caesar dressing CHUTNEY BRUSSELS SPROUTS - I liked this app better than the prosciutto which is super surprising. I don't usually like Brussel sprouts and I love prosciutto Oven roasted brussel, orange blossom honey glaze pistachio & goat chease APROSCIUTTO E MANGO - I was mildly disappointed in this cause I was thinking the mango flavor would be pretty prominent but it wasn't? savory prosciutto wrapped around creamy ricotta, sweet mango, and peppery arugula. Topped with crunchy pistachios, vibrant pesto, and a drizzle of balsamic glaze. DI POLLO - also really liked this! Mozzarella, mushroom, blackened Chicken, red onion, Roasted red peppers DOLCE VITA - I liked this a lot! Burrata, Prosciutto Crudo, Arugula and Balsamic Glaze Desserts: CHOCOLATE FUDGE LAYER CAKE - tasty!

It wasn't spicy like most salsa that I taste, but it also had a different flavor. I couldn't really put my finger on what the difference was, but it was really good. I ordered the Carne Asada and it was 10 out of 10 for presentation. The dish came steaming, sizzling and smoking as they sat it down and it continued to do so for over a minute. While the steak was cooked properly, medium well as I requested, it was very tough. Maybe it was an angry cow. Regardless, the staff was very attentive. And the service was very fast. Ambience was nice and it felt very comfortable although it was a bit cold so I had to go and get a jacket for my mom and my sister-in-law. I would give them another try the next time I'm in the area. The menu had a few options that I would be interested in.

Sometimes I'm treated very well, server is making their rounds on some kind of schedule, and I would never feel like I was waiting around for something when I needed it. Other times, servers will take ages just to greet us at the table. This continues into drink orders, apps, etc. it'll take longer to order than it is to eat the food. A nitpick is that apps will come out genuinely a minute before your main dish if you order them together and they aren't spaced well at all. I went out last night to enjoy some ramen, food as always, but something really irked me this time. I had a $100 bill I needed to split and I waited around forever for the server to come back, despite the restaurant having maybe 1 or 2 other tables. When they did finally come back with my change, they either miscounted the change or took out a 20% tip FOR me. I was annoyed with the service since it was very slow and honestly I was gonna leave a smaller tip than that because of it. we had been waiting for such a long enough time that I figured it wasn't worth it waiting for them to come back around to ask about the change. I just wish there was more consistency with the service.

Great lighting and front row to the kitchen staff. We were seated pretty quickly and got our initial drinks soon after that. Our waitress was direct and to the point. Their menu features a good mixture of different dishes. For appetizers we got the chicken wings. It was delightfully crispy even after 30 minutes and still steaming hot. I was a little disappointed that it does not come with a sauce. I would recommend getting the spicy mayo sauce as dip (extra $1.50), superb flavor. My wife got the Red tonkatsu and love the spice level. Definitely not for the faint of heart. It came with a generous about of chashu pork and ramen noodles. I got the okonomiyaki which was also good. Fair amount of seafood and the pancake batter was light. I do wish it had more cabbage. We were too full to get dessert but the matcha cake and mochi looked epic. If we are in the Baton Rouge area again and craving ramen, we will definitely consider going back.
