Came here on a whim and I'm glad I did. My friend was visiting from out of town and wanted ramen. They also have some sushi dishes and tacos which were good. The kids meal is a deal. So much food for around $13. They get a bowl of ramen, plus fried rice, chicken and fries and ice cream. Happy hour is daily here from 2-5 p.m. So don't miss out on that either. Service was good. Plenty of seating indoor and outdoor. read more

I've heard so many personal good reviews and seeing how it is decently rated on here, I wanted to give it a try. Via DoorDash. I took a chance and it was the most awful $31 I have spent for a single bowl of tonkatsu original ramen. And just DoorDash in general lol Let's break it down: - Look. I expect ramen to be oily but why did this have such a distinctive THICK layer. I took my time to scoop out the oil and it took up 1/3 of a regular rice bowl. - I was eating liquid salt. The broth was SO SO SALTY I had to dilute it with hot water four times. - Egg was hardboiled - Chasu tasted like a kitchen staff went out for a smoke and didn't wash their hands when they got back Did they change people? Recipes?? Are we cooking ramen blindfolded?? What the heck did I just eat? Not only was jinya trying to ruin my night but also give me a trip to the ER for high blood pressure and cholesterol.

Located across the street from Ranch 99 and next to the Chick Fil A, this place has been on my radar for awhile now. I started with the Salmon Poke Tacos and they were amazing. Completely. Utterly. Amazing. I then had the Shrimp Wonton Ramen, I wasn't expecting a red broth. I added tofu, bokchoy and mushrooms, they were served on the side and not IN my ramen unfortunately. The service was okay, we didn't really get offered refills also the restaurant was really really cold. Be sure to bring a jacket! read more

I loved Jinya Ramen bar at Carrollton. I came on a Friday night and they were busy but their service was very quick. I ordered their Tonkotsyu Original and Tonkotsu Black. I highly recommend their Tonkotsu Black. Their portions were amazing and their broth is very flavorful! The ambiance was very casual and great with friends and family. read more

Yes.....To everything about this restaurant. On a cold and rainy day decided I decided to pull up for ramen with a friend and they were packed. Well the nice hostess added us to the waitress and we even decided to sit at bar for a shorter wait time. We waited for possibly 3 mins and were seated at a booth. The menu is amazing. The atmosphere and the art mural on display is everything. The music wasn't overly loud and you can enjoy having an amazing conversation. All and all this place was great the food came out exceptional fast, and the drinks are amazing here. read more

The ramen is very tasty, plentiful, and hits the spot if you're craving ramen. Service was okay - our server wasn't very helpful and didn't seem to be want to be there. I had the tonkatsu red ramen and it was delicious. One friend had the creamy vegetable ramen while the other friend had gotten the garlic rice. Both of them enjoyed their dishes. The place is decently sized but there are a lot of vents that blew cooler air on us, so no matter where we sat, we were still a bit chilly. And it did get loud and it was a little challenging to have a conversation. read more

JINYA Ramen Bar - Carrollton - Garlic rice with chicken and tonkotsu black - Ramen Near Me - Carrollton, Texas

I've been to JINYA for maybe 20yrs when they opened one up by my old home in LA and I'm so glad they opened up one here! The establishment is cute and modern, setup in a new spot in old Denton. I definitely like the vibes, it tends to get busy during peak hours, but not so bad otherwise and the food is consistent and tasty. The only thing I noticed this place can't do like they do in LA is really spice things up. I order the spicy chicken, and at its highest spice level and with more hot sauce on the side it's not spicier it's just gets more red lol. My only issue is the service, def feels like non-experienced kids work there who need a little guidance. Our server forgot about us, not once but 5x. It wasn't even peak dinner time we were there waaaay too long because of the service. Like where did dude go? Did he go on break or what? He'd come by and say "ok" but disappear never to be found. We had to flag other servers asking bunch of time. At one point we flagged a female server and she stopped us in the middle of me asking if we could just have some water "I'm so sorry? Im not your server but I'll find him"... Bruh, for some waters though? After this we've decided to not dine in, sucks bc the drinks are really good here! We still like the food, reminds me of Cali so we order out. It is kinda pricey for ramen but it was always that way. For 2 ramens (no adds) a two drink it came up to $103 (this included tip - although I didn't feel it was deserved I always tip, since servers are well underpaid). I'm not a tough customer, not much of a complainer, don't really give out a ton of bad reviews but my recommendation is, keep your service expectations in check here if you decide to dine in. read more

We were craving ramen and decided to try Jinya, especially since it's a well-known franchise with locations in multiple cities. Unfortunately, the experience didn't quite live up to the expectations at this location. Service: We visited around 3 PM on a Wednesday and were surprised to find it fairly busy. Even so, it took a bit longer than expected to get seated despite several empty tables. After our visit, I noticed other reviews mentioning slow service, which lined up with our experience. That said, once we placed our order, the food came out fairly quick. Food & Drinks: I want to start with the water... it tasted noticeably off. I'm not picky about water at all, but this was unpleasant enough that we ordered soft drinks instead, which is never a great first impression. - Crispy Chicken (8/10): Easily the highlight of the meal. The chicken was juicy, flavorful, and clearly made with thigh meat based on how tender it was. This was the one item we genuinely enjoyed. - Shoestring Fries (4/10): Nothing special here. These tasted like basic frozen shoestring fries you'd get from the grocery store. To make matters worse, we found a piece of hair in our fries. I quietly informed the waitress without causing a scene. They did replace the fries and apologized, which I appreciated, but it shouldn't have happened in the first place. - Spicy Chicken Ramen (7/10): My wife really enjoyed this dish, especially the fact that they offer a chicken-based ramen option. She liked the thin noodles and said they reminded her of ramen she's had in Japan. - Premium Tonkotsu Red (5/10): This was disappointing for me. The first sip of broth tasted off, almost like it wasn't fresh. Honestly, tasted like an old broth sitting out for a while. The flavor itself wasn't bad, but the quality just didn't feel right. In hindsight, I couldn't help but wonder if the strange-tasting water had something to do with it. I usually finish my ramen, but after the hair and the broth taste I had lost my appetite. Overall, I wasn't pleased with this visit. Pricing isn't my concern, but cleanliness and quality are. With hair found in our food, I expected at least some form of compensation or acknowledgment from management, not just a plate replacement. That lack of response reflects poorly on management and attention to hygiene. Based on this experience, I don't see myself returning. read more

The Premium Tonkotsu Red with the thick noodle was also delicious and flavorful . The crispy chicken for appetizers was full of flavorful and crispy .

The ramen here was really good! I loved the tonkotsu black broth it had really good flavor and the egg was a PERFECT soft boil. Unfortunately, the Takoyaki didn't live up to my expectations. It didn't seem to be fresh and crisp and they really drown it in eel sauce which can be overpowering. They had a lot of fun cocktails but I didn't get any so can't comment on the taste. The service was very kind and attentive! This is a nice place for a date or girls night out. They have a decent amount of tables but it's not the largest restaurant. read more

I tried this spot on a Friday evening with my friends. We got there early and the spot had patrons but it wasn't much. By the time we left every table was full! Our service was good. Nothing spectacular but not bad. The staff does yell things randomly haha so don't be surprised! I enjoyed my ramen and really enjoyed the crispy rice with spicy tuna. I had had it others places and not enjoyed it but tried it here and I wanted more after the three pieces I enjoyed haha. My friends all liked their food as well. I'd come back to try some more options. I love that they have some variety to their menu and not just ramen. The decor is cute and edgy which I enjoyed. read more

Came here for lunch with friends one day. The service was quite well, we got seated quickly without a reservation. I think the highlights were the appetizers: crispy chicken and brussels sprout tempura. Both were fried really well and came super crispy. Now the main dish, I tried the tonkatsu black. It was pretty good, above average for sure. The broth was smooth and well flavored. One minor note was I wished the portion could be a little bigger. Overall it was a good meal, we recommend! read more

I placed an order online and picked it up after shopping at H Mart. It was 1:30 in the afternoon on a Sunday and the restaurant was packed. I'm talking, line outside of the place! I walked in and let the host know that I had placed an order. It was stifling hot in there. I had to wait around 10 minutes since it was so busy. By the time I walked out with the food, I was literally sweating. I ordered two Red Fire Opal vegan ramen and an order of the salmon poke tacos. They did a great job packing the food so it would not spill. The tacos were ok, but they were way too expensive for such small tacos. The ramen was beyond amazing! Full of wonderful flavor and the noodles were cooked perfectly. I am serious when I say I have thinking about that ramen ever since that day! I will definitely return to try some of the other items, as well. I am thankful to find a ramen restaurant that offers veg options! read more

Went back to try the Ramen and it was so good. The broth was very rich and you can tell that it was made fresh. The chicken super tender, and the marinated egg was delicious. For appetizers I had the salmon tacos and the cucumber salad. The cucumber salad was exceptional!! Lanna was my server for the second time and she is actually great at what she does. Service was a little slow this time, but I guess that's expected for the weekend... the ambience is always cute and cozy. They also do a really good job at keeping everything clean so that's a plus for me. read more

We grabbed some ramen and gyoza to go on a Monday night, and were thoroughly impressed. The online ordering was super easy. The food came out hot, fresh, and thoughtfully packaged. I was stoked to see all of the vegetarian and vegan options. I had the creamy spicy vegan ramen with an added egg. I also tried some of the impossible meat on the side. The ramen was delicious, very flavorful and the best vegetarian ramen I've had in a long time. My husband had the black tonkotsu ramen, and he was really impressed. He said the gyoza was also delicious. We will definitely be back to try more things from the menu! read more

This is the first time I've been to this Ramen restaurant. It was crowded and full of life. You could tell there were a lot of locals and everybody was happy with the food. I got an appetizer on the recommendation of a friend and I want to say it had pork belly in it, but I don't remember there's a picture of it. It was delicious very filling though. I also ordered the chicken Ramen. It was fantastic. The noodles were perfectly cooked and there was just the right amount of vegetables and broth. The service was also fantastic. We were able to sit at the bar and watch some of the food being cooked. It was a great experience overall I would highly recommend it. read more

Solid dinner. We liked that they had a combo meal option where we were able to get ramen and a chashu rice bowl and salad. The salad could use a better dressing. We couldn't figure out what was the dressing, not sesame nor ginger. The chashu rice bowl was my fav with a drizzle of the seasoning sauce. My husband loved the ramen. The establishment could use better tables for bigger groups. Most of the tables were small and round just fit for 2 ppl, not 4. I guess good thing the restaurant was not full, we were able to pull a few tables together to fit 9 ppl. Decor and workers are nice. read more

Had a great experience the two times I've come here. It's always a reliable option and a lot more chill than going to the plaza across the street.

It's been my go to ramen spot in the area and would definitely come back! read more

JINYA was a decent ramen spot, but I wouldn't say the best, especially when there are so many other places to pick from in Carrollton. I ordered the spicy chicken ramen, which you can choose for the spice level to be mild, spicy, or hot. I decided to go with spicy and let me say, this was not spicy at all. Besides the lack of spice, the ramen brother didn't have a distinct flavor and was pretty bland. My friend and I were seated in a table/booth combo between two tables, which were uncomfortably close to other patrons to the point you were basically touching elbows. The staff were friendly and I liked how they explained each dish, which I never really see at other restaurants. read more

I'm rarely in Carrollton but given the opportunity, I was here multiple times in one week! For appetizers I had the chashu bun and takoyaki. Came here for the ramen and it did not disappoint. I ordered the Premium Tonkotsu Red spice level 6 and it was a perfect level of heat. The egg was also done perfectly too. The table side show of the matcha was a disaster and ended up a mess on the table because the wrong type of bowl was used when it was poured into the glass. I was told don't worry about it we'll take care of discounting the drinks when the bill arrives. Of course that didn't happen and my interaction with the manager were met with the words "we typically don't issue any kind of refunds or discounts in cases like this". I was pretty appalled and further pressed that when you spill a drink at the bar you usually remake it. If you mess up both drinks, it gets comped. I'm not sure if it's lack of training or hospitality, or both but I shouldn't need to tell a manager how to be customer centric. This manager had to get permission to comp a drink. I'll return again and update this review when the proper utensils are ordered for the matcha lychee lemonade. I'm hoping this was an anomaly. read more

This review is for March 9th. I've been to the North Bethesda location so I already had expectations. This location is fairly new to my understanding, & it was very quaint. I didn't care for the little kiddy table area in front of the bar where I was seated, but thankfully I was able to move over to a higher seat at the bar. I ordered the creamy shrimp tempura for my starter which was a very nice size and very fresh. After the shrimp, I ordered the JINYA Tonkotsu Black with crispy chicken on the side. I didn't necessarily need the chicken and it was pretty flavorless to my surprise. Of course the ramen was tasty and a nice portion for any single person to eat. read more

I ordered the chicken chashu bowl, my friend got the pork chashu bowl and we got the spicy creamy shrimp tempura as our appetizer. I honestly didn't love my chicken chashu bowl, it tasted dry and flavor was too strong with some ingredients. However, the portion was really great. The spicy creamy shrimp tempura was decent. I honestly really liked the vibe of the restaurant. It was somewhat spacious but one thing that bothered me was that the tables were way too close to each other that if you're sitting on the inside, it's a bit difficult to get out. The service was pretty decent too. Our server came by often to check up on us. read more

Very nice dining experience, service is superb, the interior decor is beautiful, and the food is top notch. We came for Ramen, we had much more. The chicken Ramen was plentiful and delicious. We experienced the chicken Ramen with low carb noodles. The shrimp tempura in creamy sauce (the best shrimp tempura in town). The veggie stir fried plate that had eggplant, Brussel sprouts, bell peppers and mushroom was fantastic. The pork wontons were steamed and then pan grilled.

I'm always on the hunt for a good bowl of Ramen. Jinya did not disappoint. The service was so awesome, environment was a vibe, and to food Is top notch. We ordered the Crispy Fried Chicken, Pork Gyoza and the Black Tonkotsu. The Crispy Fried Chicken was out of this world delicious. It came with a dipping sauce. The Pork Gyoza were so flavorful and juicy with a hint of lemongrass and ginger. The Black Tonkotsu had perfect seasoning. Rich, with a broth that has body to it, almost light a thin sauce. It was outstanding. The energy from the staff and the environment itself, makes this the perfect place to hang out and catchup with friends over a bowl of delicious Ramen and appetizers. Well done Jinya, you have a new customer. read more

I tried a few different dishes- ----- Poke Salmon Bowl -- 4/10 The salmon carried a smoky, almost charred flavor that overpowered the rest of the bowl instead of complementing it. The onions (not the scallions) were particularly strong, leaving a sharp bite that lingered a bit too long. A hint of sweetness--perhaps from a honey or teriyaki-style sauce--could've balanced the smoky salmon and pungent onion notes. Overall, it left a heavy onion and charcoal aftertaste when it should've tasted clean and refreshing. Chashu Pork Bowl -- 10/10 This one was my favorite. The chashu pork was tender and rich, with just the right amount of seasoning. The seasoned egg added a creamy, savory depth that brought everything together beautifully. Despite its size, the bowl was surprisingly filling--but so good you'll still wish there was more. Every bite hit the perfect umami balance. Unagi Inari Sushi -- 8.5/10 The eel had a slight chew at first but quickly melted into a tender, flavorful bite. The glaze struck an ideal sweet-and-tangy balance that enhanced the natural richness of the eel, while the sesame added just the right touch of nuttiness. Each piece was glossy, satisfying, and perfectly portioned--one of those bites that makes you want just one more. ---- Matcha Tiramisu -- 9/10 Mix it first -- trust me -- or you'll get that grassy matcha hit right away. Once it's blended, though, the flavors even out nicely. It's definitely on the sweeter side, but just enough to let the matcha and creamy filling shine through. A cool, refreshing dessert that's satisfying without being overwhelming with the sweetness. Service & Ambiance The service was warm and attentive--my server checked in often without hovering. The atmosphere matched the food: modern, cozy, and stylishly lit. It's the kind of spot that feels perfect for a solo food escape or a chill night out. read more

The broth, it was delightful and overall great. I LOVE spice and I didn't enjoy their hot sauce (think sriracha flavor) and the broth could have been more complex, it was good. It was just missing a layer of complexity to the flavor. We enjoyed our experience and will be back! Arigatou!! read more

My only small complaint at this place is that the music is really loud and blaring like a club. However a lot of young folks enjoyed that atmosphere so perhaps I'm being an old geezer now. This is a good place if you want strong hearty flavors for ramen. We got their seasonal special pork ramen that has garlic and we were not disappointed. The broth is wonderfully rich while you get a wonderful chewy texture from the noodles. The appetizers are a little smaller than expected but again, the quality and taste make up for it. I'll be frequenting this place once it's not so insanely busy. read more
