The service was good, we were seated immediately and our server came to check on us multiple times. I ordered the shrimp and pork wonton ramen. The overall dish was a little bland. I preferred the vegetarian ramens that my friends ordered. The noodles were bouncy and not overcooked. In the future, I would order those instead. The edamame were good, can't go wrong with them. The seating is mostly wooden booths. There is space in the middle of the restaurant for larger groups. read more

Not the best Ramen I've ever had but still good. I'm used to Ramen having way more in the bowl than what you'd have to add-on. Drinks were beautifully crafted and I'd might return for just those. The service left something to be desired. We were originally sat outside per our request. The seats were not very comfortable, but the biggest issue is our server seemed to disappear. Dropped off drinks and didn't return. We had to flag down the host to take our order and moved inside with better chairs. From there we had numerous servers assisting us with our table. Not that they came over a crazy amount but a different server to drop off food, one to refill water and one to check out. read more

Sometimes all you want is a bowl of ramen that reminds you of home (LA) and that's exactly what we got. I like the thin chewy noodles at Jinya and the speed of service. We got the chicken ramen which was a solid 9/10 read more

Love their vegan ramen! I'd say across the board I really enjoy all Jinya Ramen's - #1 they have great vegan options! Services always quick and friendly. Rarely do you have a wait and every time I go my whole party is happy with their entrées. Restaurant is spacious enough to allow for small groups. Plus great location! read more

Loved it! On the pricey side($20 per ramen bowl) but the portions were generous. Kids enjoyed the kids meal that comes with a lollipop and icecream. Loved my creamy vegetarian ramen. The spicy chicken ramen had plenty of meat as well. Ambience is typical for a taken place. Nothing fancy but spacious and clean. Parking is plenty and the service was quick as well. I really did not find anything to complain about this place. Definitely coming back. read more

I've been to this location multiple times and always get the Spicy Chicken Ramen. Its a must try. The only feedback I would give the team is about their main door. Everytime it opens a gush of cold air freezes everyone inside. They can construct another another door and space between the 2 doors to avoid this like a lot of places do. This will improve customer experience. read more

- Disappointing yuzu shio [Update from June 2025] - Food: 3 stars Price: 2 stars Service: 2 stars Ambiance: 3 stars Overall: 2.5 stars It's super strange but this side of the mall have really slow business, so it's something when this place lasted so long despite management changes several times.. their menu seems slightly different again from the last time I came here. My husband ordered the JINYA tonkotsu black for $20 and I got the chicken yuzu shio delight for $20. The prices are higher than other places by a dollar or two. We asked low sodium for both bowls, and his was fine. Mine barely had any yuzu taste. The soup also wasn't very refreshing like the one from kizuki. The portion wasn't particularly big to reflect the $1 or $2 difference from other places either, so it was quite disappointing. I think the vegan ramen I had last time was much better, and this one just made me never want to come back again. I guess I will go elsewhere for shio ramen, such as kizuki or santouka. Overall the dining experience was fine, we finished eating in less than 30 minutes and the ramen came out fast as they don't usually have much business before noon on weekdays. However, the waiter gave us the bill but never checked on us even though I put down my cc right in front of his face. I went to the bathroom and it's still not touched, so I had to wave him down for it. I'd say the service is also lacking as well. I guess we will come back in a year to see how things are if they can keep surviving lol... read more

Customer service was good the people were friendly, crunchy rice was good wish it was a little more crunchy but the entry's came out cold although I ordered a rice dish and they are a ramen restaurant But the flavor was really good. The matcha was also ok I felt a little overpriced but good. read more

The chain promotes 2 for $28 on social media, but only a chicken and tofu ramen are eligible, everything else excluded. Soup and flavor is ok, but both pork and chicken broth felt greasy. One bowl was missing egg, another bowl only had one piece of char siu $20 for a small bowl is expensive. They definitely size it so you order dessert and side dishes, and walk out costing $50 per person after tax. Not worth the price for the quality and ambience. read more

Been to Jinya probably around 5 times now and it's always been good! Just a good place with good ramen and lots of parking space. I got a regular sized Chicken Chashu bowl and it was well portioned with a good ratio of rice, meat and veggies. Service is fast and there's lots of seating available inside. The place is also clean. read more

We moved from Las Vegas to Southern WA and Jinya was our go to spot for so long, so it's become a real treat when we find ourselves far enough north to get it. The food was soooo good. The creamy vegan broth (I sub my pork broth for it) is killer. And whatever sauce they're using on the salmon don is mouthwatering good. It was fairly busy on a Sunday evening so we got seared at the little bar area. It was pretty cozy and the service was great. They were on top of everything from start to finish. Love it! read more

My sister and I decided to try this place for lunch and we both thought it was ok. The service was average, the person who took our answer couldn't really answered any of our questions and they didn't really do much. Food wise, we got: Tonkotsu 2.0 ramen + pork chasu rice bowl combo Ramen - the broth was supposed to be thicker but I didn't think so, and for me, it got saltier as I eat more of it so not my favorite. Rice bowl was standard - it was fine, but nothing really stood out. The salad that came with the rice bowl was pathetic looking though and didn't taste that good. Price is a little high in my opinion for what you get but it could be because of inflation these days. $18 for the ramen and $11.5 for the small rice bowl --- for me, it would be more reasonable if the ramen was like $15 and the rice bowl was $9... Overall, eh. read more

JINYA Tonkotsu Black is the way to go. Really good flavor in the broth and the meat was nice and tender. Egg and noodles had good consistency too. Definitely the best ramen I've had on the Eastside! I had Ramen Danbo recently, and I think the quality and flavor of my Tonkotsu Black was the same! But this saves me the trouble of going to Seattle and waiting in that line! Will definitely be coming back again, and I've already recommended to a lot of my friends! Small place, but enough seats that I wouldn't expect it to get TOO busy with the location it's at. Parking is free and plentiful read more

Spicy creame vegetable ramen along with edamame. Nice drink options. Good place to visit if you are in this area.

It's a one time try atleast, lots of vegan options, good taste and ambience. The tofu was extremely soft and delicious

A decent ramen place. We tried the spicy vegan ramen and spicy chicken ramen. The spice levels were not that hot so you can go for more spice level. Also, I found the broth low on flavour and that's why 3 stars. Had to add a lot of hot & sour sauce to get sone flavour. The service is quick and ambience is okayish. This place is definitely not value for money. read more

Late review but this little restaurant is nice when you walk in the ambiance sets the vibe and the smells sets the mood lol. Came here with my wife and brother in law and we all were craving some ramen on a cold day so this spot definitely hit the spot. We came just in time for happy hour which is nice because we were able to try the Jinya Buns and Crispy Chicken to pair with the ramen for a great price. We ordered 2 Tonkotsu Spicy, 1 Yuzu Shio Delight, 3 Jinya Buns & 1 Crispy Chicken (Karaage) Everything was delicious and fresh, came out fast and presented nicely in the nice tall bowls to protect you from the broth a bit when slurping and eating the noods haha. The jinya buns were really good! Hard to find fresh and tender pork belly buns like that on the fly so this is restaurant is definitely one of my go-to's because that's on the happy hour menu. Also another great HH menu option is the Crisp Chicken aka Karaage! Super tender juicy and flavorful! This and the buns are great reasons to frequently stop here for quick eats. They also have other great options if you're not wanting ramen which I'll be back for because they also sound delicious. read more

If you have a big group, they got a huge table smack in the middle (our group of 10 adults, 2 kids fit perfectly). Yuzu shio ramen was flavorful and the low sodium broth wasn't too salty! Fried chicken was unfortunately disappointing. Crispy rice with spicy tuna and gyoza were good. You're going to a place in Crossroads so don't expect less than $$ (bowl of ramen was $18). Nice and clean. The staff was very friendly and attentive. read more

Had reservation of 5 people. We were grateful that, despite it being crowded and/or informing us that all five people needed to be present to receive a table, they gave us the table with 2 people. I ordered Spicy Tonkatsu Ramen. The noodles had the ideal texture and cooking time. The broth had good flavor. But in my opinion, a little too salty. However, I didn't enjoy the pork meat. Service was decent and quick read more

This is based off of ordering takeout vs dining in. We ordered a tonkotsu ramen, wonton ramen, and chicken chashu ramen. The noodles were dry, prepackaged, and stuck together. The wontons tasted like prepackaged microwave wonton. The wonton wrap fell apart easily and the meat inside was compacted and tasted a bit odd. My friends noted that the chashu and tonkotsu broth was too salty and reminded them of instant noodles. The one friend that has dined here before said that the dining experience is much different than ordering takeout. Taste and quality dont match. With that, I will give JINYA another try dining in. Will see if what my friend noted holds true. read more

We were craving hot ramen on a cold night and decided to try Jinya Ramen Bar in Bellevue. We ordered the Tonkotsu Black Ramen and Spicy Chicken Ramen. The Tonkotsu Black Ramen was perfect--piping hot with steam rising from the noodles, exactly how ramen should be served. Unfortunately, the Spicy Chicken Ramen was lukewarm at best and lacked that comforting heat. When we brought this to our server's attention, she offered to "heat it up"--in a microwave. Microwaving fresh ramen? With delicate noodles, soft-boiled egg, and fresh ingredients? Unbelievable. Frustrated, we requested another Black Ramen instead. The server seemed annoyed but complied. However, her attitude soured the experience even more. When she returned to check on us, her demeanor was far from apologetic or helpful. Instead of trying to make it right, she seemed inconvenienced by our simple request. Ramen should arrive hot--it's a basic expectation. Microwaving it is never a solution. This experience left us with a bad taste (literally and figuratively), and the service here was sorely lacking. Some people just aren't cut out for customer service. read more

**vegetarian review** OMG so so so so good!!! I got the creamy vegan ramen - which was so delicious. I got fresh garlic on side and hot sauce, but really neither was actually needed.

After my latest visit after a year hiatus, I have to downgrade this to a 3 star. I ordered the spicy creamy ramen which is my normal go to. However, it was served just warm and lacked flavor, not at all spicy. In addition, my group waited 45 minutes from the time we ordered for the food to arrive. read more

I ordered the chef's special chicken kara-men. Thin Noodles served in a hot and oily(fatty) broth with minced meat, bean sprouts and topped with an egg. The portion size is good! For desserts we ordered all of the options: chocolate mochi, green tea mochi and the Panna cotta. The mochi were decent - nothing special, the Panna cotta was really good. The service was a bit slow. It felt as if they were short staffed. As for the ambiance, it's well lit with booth and table seating and a long communal table in the middle. read more

The first time I ate at a Jinya Ramen Bar was a year ago in Vancouver, BC. It was so good my friend and I ate there twice in a week. For my cousin's birthday, I took him here for his birthday dinner. He thought I was going to take him to this other ramen bar in the area where the menu is a QR code and my cousin being in his late 70s is one of the few people who never had a cell phone. He was happy and I was happy that Jinya actually had a menu and not a QR code. For the appetizer were ordered the pork gyoza, which was really good. My cousin had the spicy chicken ramen and I had the spicy miso ramen. My cousin said his spicy chicken ramen was spicy, but I have to say that my spicy miso ramen wasn't that spicy. We both enjoyed our ramen. I thought service was good. During our meal the wait staff checked on us at least three times asking how our meal was and if there was anything else they could get us. Compared to the Jinya Ramen Bar in Vancouver, BC I have to say this place is a lot more low keyed. The Jinya Ramen Bar in Vancouver, BC was very busy, noisy with lots of people, and seemed like the place to be. The Crossroads is a little out of the way for me, but I will be back. read more

Plenty of parking spots at the Crossroads mall. Place was full when we went in around 7pm but luckily a table was just leaving so we got seated soon after. We got the Chicken Ramen with Egg, Jinya Tonkotsu Black, Spicy Chicken Ramen with egg, and the Takoyaki. I got the Jinya Tonkotsu Black instead of the original because the waitress said the original had a thicker richer broth (ie saltier). I think I made the right choice since the Spicy Chicken Ramen was way too thick and salty for my taste and the Tonkotsu Black was just right. Takoyaki was decent too, although I haven't tried this in many different places. read more

Came here on a Saturday afternoon at 3pm with some friends. There was only 5 other parties in the restaurant so service was quick. First thing to note is that the menu is digital :/ they did have paper menus, but it wasn't complete and didn't have the prices :( Once we ordered, it took a little bit for the food to come out. For some reason potstickers came out 10 minutes before everything else. Including the bao. Food wise, everything was good. But a little pricey. Chicken karage - 5 big chunk of fried chicken thigh. They were nice and juicy and came with a ponzu sauce. Tastiest karage I've had on the east side. I wish they were cut in half for more crispy coverage. But that's just being nitpicky. JINYA bao - good, but small piece of chasu. Nice spinach and cucumber addition, but it was a little small and lackluster. Spicy Tonkatsu ramen - good flavor, but a little steep for what it is. Lots of thick ramen noodles with 2 fatty pieces of chashu, a bunch of Wood ear mushroom. I asked for mild spice. It was not spicy at all! Somewhat misleading name for the bowl. I also thought there was going to be an egg, but i didn't get one. And I forgot to ask. It's a medium sized bowl, but the broth is very rich and overall a filling item. Chicken karage ramen- 2 pieces of chicken karage with noodles, green onions and seaweed. It was flavorful, and slightly lighter than the tonkatsu broth. read more

3.5 stars. Like many ramen shops in the states, JINYA tries to do a little bit of everything, without a single focus. The yuzu shio ramen, while reminiscent of Afuri, is a bit imbalanced on the side of yuzu. We preferred the spicy miso ramen, with its thicker noodles and more flavorful broth. The spicy oil was a nice addition but we could've used more kick. Overall a nice place to get your ramen fix in the Crossroads area- hard to believe that ramen will soon be crossing the $20 bill threshold. read more
