Me and few friends needed a hangover lunch and JINYA hit the spot! JINYA Tonkotsu Black ramen looked like their classic specialty so most of us ordered that and it did not disappoint! The noodles were delightfully chewy and the broth had a rich and full flavor without being overly fatty; I finished every drop of the garlicky goodness. The pork chashu was tender and the egg had a jammy orange yolk. The Birria ramen sounded interesting but a bit gimmicky. They also have chicken ramen for those who cannot appreciate the deliciousness that pork offers. The interior was cozy and upscale for a ramen spot and they have an outdoor patio which is nearly as large as the inside. The service was respectable but not noteworthy. Cons: A little pricey but I guess that's par for the course in Preston Hollow. $23 for my bowl of ramen after tax & tip. Moriya Shokuda is still my current favorite ramen spot but JINYA is very solid! 4.5 stars! read more

I wanted to love this place as I've had it bookmarked forever, but sadly, the food wasn't for me. Service was excellent, and the restaurant was pretty spacious. Parking wasn't bad either, there are lots and a garage nearby. However, the food itself fell flat for me. We ordered the crispy chicken happy hour special, which comes with a side salad. The chicken was on the dry side. Whenever I order Kaarage, it usually comes with a dipping sauce, but there was none here and that would've really helped out. The dressing on the side salad was way too acidic, making it hard to eat as well. In addition, we ordered the takoyaki as an appetizer. The takoyaki themselves were pretty solid, but the texture of the mayo was off. I'm not sure if they make their mayo in-house, but i noticed it was curdled. EDIT: after reading the restaurant's response, the texture I noticed was because it's an egg tartar sauce For the ramen, we ordered Jinya Tonkotsu Black and Creamy Veggie Ramen. Pricing is standard for DFW ramen restaurants, although *slightly* higher than some others (by like $1). The base ramen comes with a good variety of toppings! However, the ramen was just okay. The noodles are on the skinnier side, which I prefer thicker, chewier noodles. The pork chashu serving was small, and it tasted kind of old and wasn't that tender nor flavorful. The broth was just alright. I prefer soft-boiled, jammy ramen eggs, but the ajitama here was cooked longer than I would've liked. Ironically, I thought the veggie ramen was *much* better. The broth had better flavor, and they use different noodles than the tonkotsu, which were thicker (and exactly what I like!). Lastly, we had the matcha tiramisu for dessert. On a positive note, the matcha flavor was detectable. However, the tiramisu crème wasn't that fluffy, and there were noticeable amounts of undissolved sugar. read more

We ordered the black oil garlic tonkotsu and original tonkotsu ramen. The black oil garlic version taste was pretty good, however did not look like any black oil garlic tonkotsu ramen I've had anywhere else; usually there is a thin film of black oil floating on the top but this had none. Overall not perfect, but not bad. The original Tonkotsu ramen broth was insanely salty and did not taste like tonkotsu base, but rather a soy sauce base taken to the max. Three people tried and could not handle the saltiness. You would think that the broth would be lighter in color than the black oil version, yet it was MUCH darker. Lastly, the eggs in all ramens were over cooked but at least they gave a whole egg. Would I go back again? It's hard to say, but it's certainly not a place I would go out of the way to visit. read more

I usually go to the one in Victory Park. I liked this one bc parking was a lot easier. There are plenty shops around also. Every time I come here, it is for the spicy creamy vegan! This is the absolute best! They were having a deal for every Tuesday 2 for 28$ for chicken ramen and or spicy creamy vegan. It was perfect. It's been a long time since I had the Brussels sprouts tempura. It tasted bland and was missing something. The fries were a little disappointing -- nothing special about it. It did feel like service took a while to take our orders. We were to order our appetizers and entree. read more

Came here on a beautiful day and sat on the patio. Our server was great, very nice and attentive. I ordered an iced green tea, which was good and something you can't always find so it was nice to have! I got the spicy creamy v ramen and it was delicious! They served the ramen with different salt and sauces on the side, but the ramen didn't need any of that, the flavor was so great! read more

Ordered the premium red tonkatsu, I would say the broth was decent but nothing to rave about; I ordered spice level 5 and the spice level was perfect for me, but could have been a little more flavorful as a whole. The egg was cooked perfectly and the best part of the dish. The noodles had a good consistency but again because the broth was missing some flavors, the noodles were a little lackluster. Service was excellent. Atmosphere was fine, but music was a little loud. read more

Overall it was pretty good. The ramen was very tasty and even better with the sauce added from the table. The bowls were presented well and eye-catching. Gyoza was good, but nothing special. We sat outside and the cilantro flew off our mini tacos before we got them. I thought it odd that they didn't just bring more cilantro, but still very tasty. We did sit outside, but I thought the service was still VERY slow considering it wasn't crowded. Our server was kind, knowledgeable and polite, but honestly didn't deserve the tip I left. There were several times we were looking around for her. I understand if other tables sat after us get their meals first, but a large party sat after us was already done eating before we got our meals and there were 3 of us. It took over 45 minutes for our food and I don't think it was the kitchen judging by other tables. When we were done eating, it was over 15 minutes before she came by. Our server went to a nearby table but didn't say she would be right back or check in with us or anything. I left cash with a generous tip because I didn't want to continue waiting for her to come back with change when we finally got the bill. Not at all her fault that the weather turned cold, but honestly for the food prices, I expected better service. I definitely didn't expect to be there well over 2 hours. That just put a damper on the experience for me. read more

Wasn't feeling great so I thought ramen would be good especially since it's cold out! Delicious! I got the yatai classic ramen with an extra egg and crispy chicken! It definitely filled me up and tasted so good! Service was great; quick, friendly and made sure our waters are filled up. Their hot sauce is delicious! Reminded me of the sambal I had growing up in Malaysia! Sooooo delicious read more

Very delicious Ramen. The broth and toppings are great. Also your add on toppings might come on the side and not pre mixed in They also have seasonal/rotating bowl flavors. I had the birria ramen, the flavor was on point and I appreciated that it did not come with cheese. Service was good but all the staff holla something in Japanese when any customer enters or exists. It's a small space so this was loud and interrupted my table conversation several times, very annoying. My server was very attentive. Ambiance is good minus all the staff yelling things out. read more

Came here with my husband on a Saturday afternoon. It's a cute establishment in a very walkable area.To our surprise it was happy hour! However, there was not much on the happy hour. I opted for the shrimp wonton ramen. It came with a heavy fish smell but was pretty good! I added a dollop of the spicy sauce on the table and that really added depth to the flavor. We ordered the crunchy rice with spicy tuna and I enjoyed it, my husband said it wasn't spicy. We also got the pork gyoza with we thoroughly enjoyed. We also ordered the JINYA bun which we both really like also. The drinks weren't great. You may be better off ordering something simple like a jack and coke, the do have a full bar. Our server Melinda(or Madison) I can't remember her name, but she was new and she did an amazing job! We would definitely be back! read more

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

Service was stellar! The drinks are delicious and the noodles in the ramen had an incredible texture! If you love mood lighting and loud music, this is the place for you! Many of the dishes came out cooler than room temperature (the dishes that were supposed to hot). Some of the raw fish did not have much flavor including the spicy tuna. The restaurant does have happy hour, so I might return to check that out and have a warm bowl of ramen! read more

We also tried the house salad and seafood salad which were so fresh! Dara was a great server and was on point on the service! Great spot for a warm bowl of ramen on a cold day~ read more

Jinya is one of my favorite ramen spots. Even if it is a chain, I find that no matter where I go, it's so spot on and consistent that I enjoy it every time. I was pleasantly delighted to find out that they were able to make any alcoholic drink into a mocktail, which I greatly appreciated. It was delicious as well. It was a lychee based drink, and with the ginger beer (I think), it was a delicious, refreshing drink. We sat outside and our food came so fast! Our servers were on top it and they always came to clear our plates or check on anything we needed. If I lived closer, I would definitely come back as often as I could. read more

This place is only getting 3 because of the food and its flavor ! The chicken ramen was delicious a different alternative that isn't normally offered & the Tonkotsu ramen with mild spicy wasn't bad either. Portion is definitely decent and it's filling ( be warned tonkotsu ramen doesn't come with an egg, it's an extra) over all it's good food not the best but decent. The ambiance is cool, spacious seating and decent toons. The 3 stars is really due to service, the staff pays 0 attention to you. When we walked in we were greeted then told " I've gotta go, but just wait here " a few moments past before a completely different person sat us down and then our serve completely forgot 1. The extra egg we ordered and 2. The takoyaki balls entirely. For the food being ok the service would've made this place.. read more

I've been a loyal JINYA customer for years and regularly visit multiple locations, including Virginia, so this review is especially disappointing to write. During my visit to the Walnut Hill location, my to-go chicken order was initially not brought out at all. I didn't even want it anymore, but the other guests at the table encouraged me to still get it so we could eat it later. Unfortunately, that turned out to be a sad choice -- the chicken had hair on it. Between the delay, the lack of attention to the order, and the serious cleanliness issue, this experience fell far below the standard I expect from JINYA. Food safety is non-negotiable, and this incident completely ruined my confidence in this particular location. I will continue to visit other JINYA locations that have consistently delivered quality and care, but I will not be returning to the Walnut Hill location. read more

Qua.Li.Ty. JINYA has set the bar for Ramen. We had 3 different soups and a rice bowl and I could not tell you which one we liked best.

Delicious Ramen served here! I recommend their original Tonkotsu ramen and add some corn....but the Jinya Tonkotsu Black ramen is a good second choice. The flavors of ramen broth are rich, complex & bursting with flavor delicliousness in every bit! JINYA Bun and crispy rice with spicy tuna were just OK. I thought the bun was lacking moisture and meat to bun ratio was off..so most of your bites are bun:(. Spicy tuna was dry. Their Lychee martini are very tasty as well! Inside and outside seating. Dogs are welcome on the patio. Bar area with a few TV's. Friendly bartender. They offer happy hour specials, do not take reservations. Clean restrooms. Plenty of parking at this location. Can't wait to return!! read more

This ramen bar is great. I've tried 3 different ramen combos on the menu (yuzu shio, shrimp wonton, chicken), and they've all been phenomenally realized. The apps (pork bun, seaweed salad, croquettes) have also been great, delicious all around. During the day, the tinted windows provide a fun view of the people shopping. At night, the heaters and awning on the patio solve the cold issue completely. I would recommend visiting to anyone who wants to try all the delicious ramen restaurants in Dallas. read more

This is a solid spot for ramen! The food was def a great portion and good quality. I got the shrimp wonton ramen ($18.80) and it was good but I couldn't really taste the shrimp broth it said it had. We also got the matcha mochi ($5.50), it comes with 2 pieces and it was good. Very hard to mess up mochi. I think for the price point- this place may not be worth it but I think it's def worth trying once. I will say the seating is nice and clean but the service was slightly pushy. Not sure if this was normal for the business but I def felt rushed by our waiter. read more

We had a great experience overall during our first time at JINYA, which happened to be on Valentine's Day. Ramen bowls for dinner run about $18 a bowl typically, but they were running a special for 2 bowls of ramen, 2 non-alcoholic drinks, and potstickers for $40, so we took advantage of that. A couple highlights: - the atmosphere was really beautiful (well decorated for a small square footage) & great outdoors seating as an option as well - while the night was busy, servers were prompt and friendly - ramen bowls were delicious (we got the classic tonkatsu bowl and the black tonkatsu bowl) - we opted for the impossible meat potstickers just to try it out (instead of pork) and I would 100% get them again A couple of things they could improve: - their lemonade is basically country time lemonade so i would pass on getting that again - we never got a refill on our other drinks throughout the night so we were a bit disappointed about that Overall, would definitely come back again and try out the other multitude of ramen bowl options they have on the menu. read more

The best ramen I've ever had. Mm mm mm. So full of flavor. I definitely recommend what I got because the dish is prepared w/fresh made noodles that have the perfect texture, tender meat, hearty broth and the most complementary toppings. The only modification I made was to have a hard boiled egg instead of soft. I do wish I would've known they put the dried seaweed in the bowl though, because it got soggy but it's ok. Next time I'll just be sure to ask that it's served on the side. Nonetheless, my server Veronica was exceptional as was the service. The inside is nicely decorated & provides a variety of different seating options (solo space at the bar, intimate couple seating, open floor for small groups or booth options as well). I also like that you can somewhat see the chefs preparing each meal behind the bar..in some way it makes you feel included in the process lol. The only warnings I have to give are that one - since this location is near Trader Joe's just know the parking around the area isn't the best & two, if you're sensitive to sound then brace yourself for when you and guests first walk in or leave as the staff do provide very enthusiastic greetings/farewells. I stopped in around 2pm on a Tuesday so noise levels were rather low, just know what to expect at busier times. read more

This is one of their newer locations and service was impeccable. The interior is nice as well. I always recommend getting their karaage (crispy chicken) and tonkatsu black ramen.

Very good food. Space was limited but we waited to get seated. Service was good as well. Food was flavorful and spicy!!

My wife and I first went to Jinya in '19 while visiting Houston for a wedding; it was awesome!! Now we come on special occasions as it is just that special of a place for us. Yesterday marked my 34th birthday and I decided I wanted Jinya's as my celebration meal. Dara provided us with excellent service, we seated quickly, given the run down of the specials of the month, she handled our inquiries on some of the menu changes fluidly, and she helped in getting our 18mo olds food out in a timely manner...I mean it was quick!! For 12.99 it's literally the best kids meal that you could find anywhere!! Ramen, chicken, fruit, greens, and french fries!!! There's also ice cream, but sadly my son has a dairy allergy, but hey he was happy what more can I ask for!! I got the Spicy Umami Miso Ramen with a seasoned egg, bamboo, with a pork gyoza and salad combo. My wife got the Tonkatsu Black Ramen with the pork gyoza and salad combo as well. The ambience was nice, mood lighting with bay floor to ceiling windows, good music mashup. The windows are tinted just enough that even in the middle of the day it felt like it was late afternoon. read more

I went to get a quick lunch and decided on Jinya so I can eat the creamy vegan ramen. I walk in and someone in front of me is picking up a delivery order so I wait. The guy leaves and the host asks what order am I picking up. I said I would like to sit and eat lunch. Okay. Sit at the bar and gives me menu and asks if I have eaten here before. I say yes. I wait and wait and finally stood up and walked over to ask him if I can order. He says yes, in minute, as soon as he finishes something on the computer. I order the creamy vegan ramen and water. Pretty simple. The ramen comes with no spoon so I am for a spoon, then proceedd to tell me how to eat it. Excuse me? I can eat it however I want to. A few minutes later, he brings the water. I finish eating and wait for the bill but no one is around. No host, no servers, hardly any customers. I wait and wait an wait. 10 minutes later, I threw down a $20 bill and left. Thank God I had cash today otherwise I would have been late for my appointment only because I wanted to eat the creamy vegan ramen! Not sure if the staff is unaware that people pop into lunch on a schedule. Also, ramen is quick food, it is nit fine dining. I know, I grew up in Japan. Next time, do better please. The only reason why there are 2 stars is because the ramen was good. read more

I absolutely love this place. But this location can definitely get packed during peak hours so I recommend calling ahead if you're in a party large than 2 people. At this point, I have come to this place and tried everything on the menu. So if you're reading this, here is my pro-tip. If you like Ramen, consider trying the Spicy Creamy Vegan Ramen. It's all about the customization, just because it says Vegan, doesn't mean you can't add chicken chashu and a seasoned egg. The broth of this Ramen is by far the best in my opinion and is something I regularly order on my visits here. I personally like the noodles it comes with, but my brother likes to substitute for the kale noodles, gotta say it's also a great option. Hopefully you enjoy it as much as we do! read more

Love this place, I've been here 3 - 4 times and never disappointed. I get the same thing - Vegan Fire Opal. I'm not vegan but this soup is spicy, salty, citrusy, and they use sautéed bamboo like I've never seen before and I love it! We've had the bun, crispy chicken, seaweed salads, curry croquettes as appetizers (on separate occasions lol) and they're all great! Drink also great! They have a matcha lychee lemonade . Service is good, ambiance great! Not too loud inside, nice outdoor patio. read more
