My colleagues from work and I ate here the other day, and I selected the shrimp wonton noodles. I've been here many times, and after eating various noodles from the menu, I prefer the wonton noodles personally. For a weekday lunch, it's best to come here before noon to avoid the lunch rush/ crowd. I come around 11:30 AM usually for lunch, and I'm always seated right away. read more

Didn't realize Jinya was actually a national ramen chain, but I was craving some ramen in LA. Since I know LA makes one of the better ramens in the country and because this was close to my hotel, I couldn't say no. Anyhow, my expectations for ramen are quite low. I want some great veggie broth and I want a healthy amount of veggies and tofu. Fortunately, I got all 3 of my requests with the spicy veggie ramen. I also enjoyed it with a beer brewed from Japan. Perfect combination, right? I sat at the bar which was a fairly chill option as I was just by myself and no one else was in the area. Service was quick, which was good. I'd come back again if I have to. read more

After watching a movie at the Alamo Drafthouse on Saturday night, my boyfriend and I strolled over here and ordered a Harvest vegetarian ramen to go. We asked for it without corn and this request was granted. We got the extra egg we requested and it was cooked well. At the restaurant, it wasn't very busy. There's no waiting area so we sat on some of the empty stools inside. We walked the food home and ate it. My complaint is that the broth was very, very salty. So salty my water tasted different after eating this ramen. So salty my tastebuds felt changed :'( read more

Came here for lunch and ordered the Tan Tan Men ramen--honestly, it was really good. The broth was rich, creamy, and full of flavor, and I loved how it mixed with the ground meat. Super comforting and filling, especially for a midday meal. Heads up: it gets pretty packed during lunch, so there was a short wait. The space itself is small but nice, with bar seating, some counter seats by the kitchen, and a few tables. Totally worth the wait, and I'd definitely come back again. read more

Their chicken ramen used to taste way better! The broth this time tasted more watered down. Though, noodle texture is still great--just the way I like it. Maybe it was an off day but was really hoping for a richer umami flavor! Service and ambiance was fine. It seemed like it was just one waitress for the entire restaurant so it did take awhile for the server to get our orders. FYI they have happy hour offers so be sure to check it out! read more

I got the JINYA Tonkatsu Black Ramen without the spicy chili. Pretty good, it's not too thick or oily, which is my ramen preference. Not in the photo but I also got the milkman, which I really enjoyed. The bun itself wasn't dry and the filling tasted wonderful. My mom really enjoyed her drink, she got one of the mocktails, can't find the drink them though, sorry! I got a lychee martini, which was pretty strong, but not the strongest I've had. One downside, they brought out the drinks pretty late into our meal. I felt like I finished most of meal and because the drink was so strong, I couldn't pair it with the meal as much. The restaurant itself is on the smaller size but it's not overly small to the point where there's no room. Plenty of seating, both regular tables and bar seating. Definitely would come back to eat again. read more

The ramen here is perfect. Broth is rich & flavorful. I always reach the bottom of the bowl. My usual is the grilled spicy chicken ramen--medium heat. The broth is flavorful without being overly spicy, chicken is grilled before being thrown in the soup--makes for a good texture contrast. Best part is the runny egg. The ramen has me coming here regularly! read more

We went to Jinya for the same reason others mentioned -- it is close to our hotel. It is a cute little place but way too bright at night for our taste. Put those lights on a dimmer! It was busy but we didn't have to wait for a table. Service was good but we were unimpressed with the ramen. We both had the tan tan ramen and found it lacking. The ground pork was not very good and it was so plain - needed an egg and veggies. I really can't recommend the place but if you're tired and it's right near your hotel it would probably do. But I'd look elsewhere if you want really good ramen. read more

I've experienced Jinya ramen when I was in Texas and I had a high expectation from my previous experience. We had two vegan ramen and those were so good!! One was spicy creamy vegan ramen and another one was red o' something ramen great flavor and delicious broth!! Keep up the good work! Cheers read more

In all my 33 years of life, I never knew Birria Ramen is a thing. Boy was I caught by surprise. I took my sister on a sister date, I ordered the Birria Ramen, she ordered chicken ramen and a crispy with spicy tuna (I think). My meal was ommmggfff, another one me please. I enjoyed every last scoop of broth. I'm sure my sister enjoyed hers too the way we scuff our meals Thank you staff for the patience you had, allowing her to order her meal. #autismawareness read more

Sanae loved her Yuzu Shio delight We both enjoyed the crispy Brussels Our server, Melvin was nice My (pictured) vegan ramen was too spicy despite requesting no chili and no spice and confirming that it's possible. They took it back and I'm having the promotional vegan tapas instead. The gyoza and taco have whatever meat flavor they're "supposed" to taste like, which I am not a fan of, but the Brussels are literally perfect. I'm happy eating just that. We believe that they truly forgot to not put in the chili oil but the chef said it was the miso element and preferred that I try the first in the vegan list, so be careful I guess - or don't be alarmed. Let me know if you tried it and it was not spicy Music is not too loud which is refreshing! Bulb lighting is nice and warm but the overhead lights are too much in my opinion. read more

5 stars, should be 10 stars. If this place was more affordable, id eat there two times a week. But, if it was less expensive, quality would prob go down so no need to change anything. I always get the Jinya chicken Ramen and its always super flavorful. Last time, I got the broccolini as an appetizer and I'll I can say is that ALL broccolini should be made this way. It was the best appetizer I've ever had. Service is great and place is extremely clean. read more

Jinya is the "reliable luxury" of ramen. It's where you go when you want a guaranteed good meal in a cool environment. It's a bit more expensive than your average ramen shop, but the depth of the menu and the atmosphere usually justify the price.It is worth of every penny. Employees are very friendly and nice. read more

Came here on a Saturday afternoon and there was no wait!

The charred broccoli added a nice smokiness to the dish. Would love to come back to try the other foods! read more

I'm glad I finally got to try Jinya! The one in Long Beach is always so packed. I came in for lunch and it was moderately busy. I was seated right away at the window seat. The service was friendly and attentive. I got the premium red tonkatsu level 6 spice. It was good! The egg was cooked perfectly. My pork was a little fatty. But the noodles were perfect! I have had broths that had deeper flavors, but this was a solid choice. I would definitely recommend this spot! It's a great casual restaurant. You can sit at the bar, at a window seat, or at a regular table. read more

My complaint is not about the food itself. It's about food safety. Placed an order thru Postmates and when I received my order the bag was wide open and containers had no security stickers at all. I didn't feel comfortable eating my food. Do not order from them thru delivery service because they don't care what happens to your food once it leaves the restaurant. read more

Was invited back for another dining experience. Sooooo much better. For my drink, I tried the lycheetini. Fruity but strong! I would definitely get this again. For my appetizer, I tried the pork gyoza and ended up sticking with the Tonkatsu Black for my main. This time around, the ramen was bursting with flavor and the pork chashu and egg were marinated very well. No disappontments! The pork gyoza was the star of the show Thank you to Justin and Bill for making things right. Customer service 5/5 Definitely a solid ramen spot to check out in DTLA read more

This is a great spot for a quick, filling lunch. The staff is quick getting the food out and the restaurant is very clean. I had the spicy creamy shrimp tempura and the chicken wonton ramen. The shrimp tempura was delicious! The shrimp were all a pretty big (they don't skimp here!) and the sauce was creamy with a little bit of a kick. The broth for the chicken wonton ramen was a really rich chicken broth that had almost a creamy texture. The noodles were delicious and had a really satisfying slightly chewy bite to them. Overall, stop here for a quick lunch that's sure to leave you satisfied and won't make your pocket hurt. read more

I go to the Jinya in my neighborhood often, so when I was craving fish, I remembered that there is a Jinya close to my office and came here for a solo lunch. The first thing I noticed is that the hostess and servers were noticeably less friendly/personable than at my home Jinya... everything felt strictly transactional. I ordered a salmon poke bowl and a pork bun on the side. After waiting for a while and receiving my side dish, my server came back and told me that they were out of the poke bowl I wanted. She didn't seem apologetic and didn't offer anything similar. Since this was the only item I came in for, I asked for my check so that I could go. I wish that someone had told me at the time I placed my order or immediately after, so I wouldn't have wasted so much time waiting. The restaurant wasn't busy at all. I was disappointed in my first time trying out this Jinya location and think I'll stick to the Toluca Lake one. read more

The veggie impossible meat ramen was perfect along with the impossible gyoza. Definitely coming back next time I'm in town.

Stopped in for a very late lunch on Friday afternoon and Bill who was working the bar was such a sweetheart, so happy and full of positivity and life. I ordered the salmon aburi oshi sushi and it was delicious, perfectly seared, and the spicy creamy shrimp tempura and lycheetini which were both on the happy hour menu. The shrimp dish was delicious and the martini was perfectly balanced and not too sweet unlike typical lychee martinis. I forgot to take a picture of it when he put a bubble filled with smoke on top - so fun! read more

I had started to feel a little worn out from travel when I decided to try JINYA because I figured a good bowl of soup would do me some good. What I didn't expect was how incredibly tasty and well cooked the food here would be. I didn't have high expectations but my bowl of Yuzu Shio Delight ramen was some of the most delicious ramen I've had in a while! The ponzu and shio was such a unique combination - one I've never had before. The citrus put a nice twist on your classic shio broth. I highly recommend trying this menu item just because it is so unique. I added a side of fried chicken karaage and house salad since I was hungry and overall, I felt like the meal was such a good value for what I got. Service was also very nice and the food came fast with the broth hot and the noodles cooked al dente which was absolutely perfect. Has a great vibe for solo diners or a quick lunch with a friend. Well done JINYA! read more

Delicious ramen. So many topping options. It's a little expensive, but worth it. Yummy!

First time here we came for happy hour from 3-6pm tempura was very good mimosas good but the broth on the ramen was bad flavor they use allot of chicken bouillon to cook I had to add some of my water in it just to blend out the salt on it we also got spicy edamame and that spicy was not it salty as well. Service was good and clean place will come back only for the goods. read more
