Food was off the charts good. Eat the tempura sprouts. Have the cabbage in the ramen. Don't drive 5 hours home afterward. My wife and daughter weren't impressed. Delicious food and attentive staff. I'd wager that a good time and drinks can be had at the bar in an evening. read more

First timer at the Culebra location, and it did not disappoint! Ramen or Sushi, you cannot go wrong coming to Jinya Ramen Bar, and their appetizers are always good! Love how all the staff salutes you or says good bye in Japanese every time someone walks in or leaves, so be ready to be greeted like a star. Our Ramen was delicious and I was so excited because mine had cabbage and I love cabbage! Oh! And they also offer cocktails, the cherry on top! Come an try any of their locations, you'd love it here! read more

Service was great Ambiance was nice Food was delicious. The broth was rich, chicken tender and it all came together nicely. You could pay extra for more noodles if you have broth left over and you're still hungry. I would highly recommend For 3 of us and 3 drinks was around $60 read more

Ramen is really flavorful and fresh. A decent selection to choose from. The atmosphere was a bit noisy for my taste (lunchtime).

Very welcoming place, everybody speaks! The place was pretty empty when I arrived around 6 but that changed pretty quickly. The place got pretty loud but not unbearable. My friend and I sat at the bar which had preset settings, I'm assuming for small bites, didn't actually use them. Emma at the bar was an absolute peach, so sweet and she listened and delivered on good drinks! I had a Strawberry Saketini, delicious! I can't say the same for the Lychee Martini but Emma made me a J. Girl mocktail instead and it was a bit muddled, less sweet, a lil bit but we added a shot of vodka and some lemon to dress it up! Boom, from mocktail to cocktail just like that! I ordered the Takoyaki appetizer: Octopus balls. Battered octopus over egg tartar topped with mayonnaise, okonomiyaki sauce, fresh cut green onion and smoked bonito flakes. Here I was trying to be adventurous but they could've kept that! First thought was a çorndog but the mayo was a non starter (I like mayo) but not on this. Not sure why they even call it an octopus ball because the octopus was miniscule! Ordered the shrimp wonton appetizer as the main event, adding fresh garlic and cabbage which I wish was cooked, seasoned a lil! The ramen was meh, the shrimp in the dumplings was a lil overdone but also could've used some seasoning. The noodles were a bit overdone but I enjoyed my experience and will return! read more

Honestly, the service was great when I walked in, hardly waited at all. But when I was sat the table was still dirty and had left over straws and wrappers from previous patrons. Not a huge deal but at least it could have been wiped down. Once the food came it was really enjoyable and well cooked. Overall my experience was an 8.5/10 read more

Love love anything noodly and ramen is one of my faves! Comfort food for my soul. The four of us were easily seated at a table. Our server was accessible, friendly, and prompt. Place was bustling for dinner, but turnover was quick. We ordered some cool drinks that involved fire- smoked old fashioned and a ringo mule, that were both pretty good. For my ramen, I ordered their Black Tonkatsu. It was good, but I've had better. I was underwhelmed with the broth, needed more flavor and I don't mean salt. I did add their complimentary table side spicy chili for a kick. The egg was delicious with a nice soft, runny yolk. The bowl could have used more protein as well. I opted for thick noodles instead of the thin. Hubby ordered the spicy chicken ramen. He ordered the egg, as the dish didn't come with it, extra $2. He found the protein to be menial and the level of spicy not too hot. It was ok... Great service, ramen ok. Their pork gyozas were delicious! read more

We got seated right away. All the staff from hostess to server were very polite and attentive especially Sarah. Great atmosphere. They have a bar and has an open kitchen. The food is delicious. We ordered premium red ramen, Jinya tonkatsu original, takoyaki and the crispy chicken with salad. The premium red ramen is very chewy and delicious and fresh, the broth is thick and I got the spice 2. It's more like medium spice. It was well seasoned broth, very creamy and a kick of spice. The takoyaki was well presented and the flavored mayo was on point with good amount of bonito flakes. The crispy chicken was flavorful, right crisp. The prices are very reasonable. They do have several locations on San Antonio. I must say the taste is consistent in all locations. This is a must try! read more

I love the look and vibe of this restaurant. I was seated quickly and the servers were very attentive. And the food was too good. I had the Birra Ramen with a season egg, Matcha Lychee Lemonade and the spicy tuna tacos. The ramen was amazing! The meat was cooked well and just tasted correct. The tacos were very very crunchy and the tuna in it did have some kick to it. And then the drink I would order everyday if I could. Plenty of space for parking. read more

This was my first time checking out this location of JINYA, and it was a great experience. Service was super quick, and our waiter was very friendly. The decor was vibey and very chic. I got the Tonkatsu Original 2010, which comes with extra thick noodles. I loved the noodles! They were perfectly cooked and had the right amount of chew. The broth was also delicious and so flavorful & rich. I love that they opened this second location in San Antonio because it is a little bit closer to me than the one up near UTSA. read more

Definitely one of my favorite Ramen places in town. I had been to the one on 1604 and I 10. I'm so happy that they built one close to my home. We went for my mother's birthday and everyone was super nice. They even sang happy birthday to her. We all enjoyed our Ramen. My dad got the fried chicken as his main meal with a side of broccoli and he was so happy with his food too. The Ramen serving is always pretty big, so it is easily shared. You can add extra toppings, but it can get pricey if you do so. They also have rice dishes, buns and vegetarian/vegan friendly dishes. They have a full service bar. The cocktails we tried were good. They have Japanese beer too. We were able to take cake for my mom and when we were ready for it, they gave us some plates and silverware. The place is pretty spacious and has a good amount of seating. Parking is available on site, but shared with the other businesses. read more

Jinya is one of our favorite places to go to as a family. Our go-to order would be the Jinya Tonkotsu Black and their Crispy Chicken -- I craved this a lot when I was pregnant with my second baby. We also love the different types of rice bowls. They have kids' meals and the servings are quite large, too! Everyone is always so kind and accommodating over there. It's a great environment to enjoy food with friends and family! Can't recommend Jinya enough! read more

JINYA Ramen Bar - Culebra - JINYA Tonkotsu Black* - Ramen Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

There's something magical about stepping into a ramen joint and being hit with the rich, savory aroma of simmering broth. This place, though, takes it to a whole new level. The ramen here is an absolute masterpiece--each bowl is brimming with layers of flavor that feel almost too good to be true. The broth is bold, luscious, and so perfectly balanced that it feels like the result of hours of painstaking care. Whether you're into creamy tonkotsu, spicy miso, or a lighter shoyu, every spoonful is a savory explosion of umami that coats your taste buds in the best possible way. And the noodles? Absolute perfection. Chewy, springy, and perfectly soaking up every ounce of that liquid gold. But let's talk about the buns--oh, those buns! Fluffy and soft, like biting into a savory cloud, these little bites of heaven are stuffed with tender pork belly or crispy chicken that's been glazed in a sauce so addictive you'll find yourself ordering seconds (and maybe thirds). The textures and flavors are a symphony--sweet, savory, smoky, and just the right amount of richness. Paired with the fresh pickles and a hint of spice, these buns feel like a warm hug for your soul. They're not just appetizers--they're an experience in their own right. I can say with absolute certainty that I'll be coming back again and again. The food is so good it borders on life-changing, and the atmosphere only adds to the charm--cozy, welcoming, and buzzing with the energy of happy diners slurping their ramen with unashamed gusto. This ramen joint isn't just a restaurant; it's a destination, a place where you'll dream about the food long after you've left. If you're looking for a meal that's equal parts comfort and culinary adventure, this is where you need to be. I'll see you there--probably in line for another bowl! read more

My first time here and so good. I had the flying vegan harvest with the thin noodles. Noodles were cooked perfect and they serve you so much food almost impossible for one person to finish. My drink was the flying violette my second drink was the Malibu sunrise. These drinks were perfect flavor and at the end had that kick. Our waiter helped us store our birthday cake we had brought in he also provided us with extra plates he was really nice. The only thing was the noise it was loud and difficult to keep a conversation we would have to practically yell. Looking forward to our next visit read more

I had "real" ramen for the first time over the summer when I visited Tokyo. This place is the closest I've found that tastes like what I ate in Japan. Everything is well prepared and flavorful. The service is great, I was a little shocked when the restaurant all shouted arigato as I was leaving but it also gave me a chuckle and I said arigato and bowed on my way out. My only critiques would be: adding black garlic oil as an option. That really set it apart when I tried it overseas. Also when wording for pick up the noodles tend to clump together, but I don't think that can be helped. They state you should "reheat" it all together to avoid that, but I just poured the broth over my noodles and let them sit while I got everything else for dinner together. read more

The food is great, not the customer service. Went there with my boyfriend and friends since the place was new to us. Of course we wanted an alcoholic beverage and was asked to show our ID's. Not once but several times throughout our time there. The waitress was speaking so low I couldn't even hear her at all when ordering, and whenever we asked for a cup so we can try the soju since a friend already had the bottle of soju. We were ignored by the waitress, we finally asked someone else and she even also asked for ID. Like you can see that we have drinks, why ask again? Our waitress finally came back but brought out a whole other bottle of soju and the cup. I wanted to say something since we didn't want to be charged a whole bottle, that's not what we even asked for. Not coming back, only for takeout if they even have that. read more

This place is a 100/10. If you are looking for some great ramen on a cold day, amazing drinks, friendly staff and affordable prices this is your place. Their ramen is thick and unbelievably flavorful. Their appetizers are phenomenal as well and they have a variety of selection. I highly recommend the crispy chicken. It was cooked to perfection and had so much flavor. I also had the JINYA Tonkotsu Original 2010 and my toddler and I scarfed it up. You really can't go wrong ordering anything on the menu. Everything they offer is delicious and you really won't be disappointed. read more
