First time to this Jinya location and I have to say the food was good! It was definitely a ramen type of night, due to how cold it has been lately. Our server Nicholas was great as well and very attentive, even when having to serve multiple tables. The only thing that was a little disappointing was the bathrooms. My partner mentioned to me that there was no soap in the bathrooms, which is a cause for concern, especially during the cold season and the fact that there should always be soap in the bathroom to take care of basic human needs. read more

Baby let me tellllll you about this place. I visited this location a good few weeks ago but my experience still remains the same as I haven't been back since. Today is Tuesday, June 18th, 2024. My visit was the night of March 31st, 2024, on a Friday. I had ordered take out since I showed up right before closing. I ordered maybe 3 Jinya buns, the pork gyoza, tempura fried brussel sprouts, another sort of steamed bun called nikuman, and ramen. Hadn't eaten all day so I was looking forward to this. The night of my visit, my fiancé and I shared everything but the pork gyoza and the ramen. She had none. I finished them all. The ramen didn't get touch until the next day. The next day is also when I fell sick. I was able to sleep through the night but around 6:00 am my stomach was GRIPPING. I ended up vomiting not too long after and had to call out of work due to me being sick. I called up to the restaurant just to get refunded for what I believed had made me sick and the manager Diego gave me the complete run around. Took down my information only to follow up with telling me that j needed to get a doctor's note to prove that I got sick from their restaurant. Which makes ZERO sense. My personal medical records or medical history shouldn't have to be provided just for a $6-$7 refund. I then asked him if I would be compensated for the doctor's visit that I would have to make in order to obtain this medical proof just to get my refund andddd he acted like he didn't know. Told me that his general manager wasn't in town and that they would be following up. Almost 3 weeks later, no follow up, and I did not go to the doctor because I was better by the next day so there was nothing to prove if the issue is no longer in my system. In conclusion, this location is ass, service outside of the host stand is subpar, and you'd be better off going to the Alpharetta location on Broad St. or the Atlanta location on Roswell Rd. choose wisely. read more

Food - 8/10 - ordered ramen, gyoza, salad, poke tacos, and tempura Brussels. We had mixups with the kitchen which caused some of our food to come out late and cold. The food that arrived fresh was wonderful. Drinks - 5/10 Service - 6/10 Ambiance - 7/10 - they yell a phrase every 5 min which is annoying if you're having a conversation. read more

My all time favorite ramen restaurant. I've eaten Jinya in Georgia and Texas, it is always good ramen no matter the location. The servers are always attentive and fast service. The restaurants are always clean and just nice ambiance at all the locations I've been to. You can never go wrong eating at Jinya. read more

Great service . Good food. Good pricing. Nice casual dining experience . Carmen was super.

This chain has a few locations around the Atlanta area. I've been to pretty much all of them. They are really consistent as far as food quality is concerned. They have a consistent vibe as well. Really quality ramen for the price and their karaage is great. This location was busy when I went and the service was a bit slow, but the food was still good. Arguably one of the better ramen deals around town. read more

This was my second time in a week to this location. The ramen is delicious I've had the veggie harvest Las time but today had the umami miso ramen. It was delicious. The noodles are hand made and really perfectly cooked. The veggies and broth was awesome. So flavorful. We also had several apps the the rice balls with the salmon was unique, beautiful and packs a punch of flavor in your mouth. The crunchy rice with spicy tuna was the bomb! Probably the most delicious thing I've eaten in a while. The firecracker shrimp was just so so and I wouldn't order it again. I used to own a restaurant and my consultant told me if everything you serve is not memorable don't serve it. I have to give it 4/5 stars because there were a few apps that were not memorable. But for the most part visit any location near you. You will not regret it. read more

Food, service and the low light setting was perfect for a relaxing date night. The house salad is my favorite and the jinya bun was warm and delicious perfect for a small appetite. Pricing is reasonable so ordering another for a bigger appetite is not splurging. The summertime Watermelon drink was refreshing and not too sweet. Can't wait to go back! read more

Came here on a cold night, and it was exactly what we needed! The flying Vegan harvest was great; possibly the best Ramen I've ever had, meat or vegetarian. I really enjoyed the soups spicy flavor, and the combo of veggies, noodles, tofu and "ground beef" was delightful. I also had a bite of the spicy creamy vegan which I found a bit too sweet after trying my own. Took a minute to get seated, despite trying to yelp wait list/call ahead, but overall service was fine. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking for ramen. read more

It's consistent and pretty good. I don't love everything about this place but I like a few things at this place. Enough to drive a little extra. * Black garlic ramen with thin noodle - I like the flavor of the broth, although it's tad bit too oily for my taste. * my kid and husband like the spicy ones * Tako yaki is fun and always reliable. Lots of mayo and sweet flavor, so avoid it if you don't like that * Gyoza is decent and not too pricey * Seasonal special ramens are good. Overall clean and good service. Overall menu selection and satisfaction is little higher than Umaido. Tip: Fried chicken as an add-on side is good/ ask for thin noodle as their default is the thick, slightly wavy kind read more

Been to this location twice now and both times I had a great experience. A server named Nicolas took care of me both times and he was very attentive and friendly. Ordered the Tonkotsu Red Level 6 and Level 10 and honestly they didn't taste much different spice-wise. I'd recommend just sticking with the level 6 and not have the extra dollar upcharge. read more

I think a lot of people hyped me up for the new ramen restaurant, and I hate to say it, but I was not mind blown. This doesn't mean it wasnt delicious! I've been to other ramen locations and I wouldn't say this was any worse or better. I did enjoy my black pork jinya ramen. The runny boiled egg was cooked to perfection, and the broth was very filling. I also ordered the takoyaki which was also good, but I feel like it was loaded with way too much sauces that made it soggy. The service was excellent. We had 3 different waitresses coming to our table to ask for whatever we needed and refill our drinks. read more

BEST RAMEN EVER!! Went to Jinya for dinner and ordered the Spicy Creamy Vegan Ramen. There are limited ramen restaurants that have vegetarian/vegan options, luckily Jinya offers this options. Service is quick and food comes out hot. The restaurant has a dark theme, so you can enjoy some warm ramen in a candle-lit type of room. Feels cozy. They offer additional seasoning sauces - seasoning, gyoza, and hot sauce. You can order additional toppings from the menu, for an extra kick, order GARLIC! read more

I had a bad experience. Our server had told us that she couldn't get us our appetizers but there were appetizers being served to other customers. I ordered the spicy creamy vegan ramen - my server told me there was no way for the cooks to put the chili paste inside my ramen to make it extra spicy yet they have done it for me every other time while dining in? Confused. Idk. Also - the one star is for the fact that my server was not paying attention to my food. The spicy creamy vegan ramen is supposed to come with tofu and she did not notice that my ramen was missing the main tofu component. Overall, I felt like she gave us a pretty hard time. read more

I've been to Jinya three times in the past year and the food has consistently been amazing! I had the vegan Impossible ramen once and the spicy chicken ramen twice. I've also had their Impossible gyoza, fried chicken, and tempura Brussels sprouts- all of which were delicious! I love the 3 sauces they provide on the side to customize your ramen flavor- I typically use the sweet and spicy one. The restaurant is clean and trendy looking; the staff are pleasant. If they weren't 25 minutes away, I would definitely come once per week! read more

(Heads up this a sit down eat in review) The Delivery: Working late one day me and a group of co-workers decided to grab some food at a local ramen bar in Duluth. Seeing as some places were closed due to running out of food earlier in the day, we decided to give Jinya Ramen Bar a shot. Thankfully around 8pm the place wasn't very packed nor was it ready to close anytime soon. Walking in we were immediately greeted by a server and escorted to our table in which were led to the back of the restaurant which contained booths and a few separate tables. After being seated a server approached us and asked for our drinks as well as our order. They were wearing a mask the entire time which is always a bonus at any restaurant, and they were super polite too. The place wasn't packed or too noisy, a very chill vibe and honestly perfect for a date because the tables are separate enough to have a private convo. The Food: For context I ordered the Shrimp Wonton Ramen w/ Seasoned Egg as a topping. The food was delivered in a stone bowl which was very aesthetically appealing. The chop sticks were disposable and wood which is just fine due to at the time events (covid and all). The ramen I ordered looked exactly what was portrayed on the menu which is once again always a plus. The Taste: (Shrimp Wonton Ramen) Ima jump straight to the point about this ramen, it tasted like pack ramen you would get from a gas station for about .99 Cents. Over salted and bland is the best descriptor for this bowl of ramen. Trust me as a college student when I say I know what overpriced noodles taste like.... I know. Besides the noodles, and the highly salted broth which ended up giving me a headache as I lost my appetite to eat it, the wonton on the other hand was pretty good. So good honestly, I wanted to ask for more wontons but sadly, losing my appetite from all the salt really put a damper on the meal. Mind you I don't have any issues with high blood pressure or salt intake issues that I know of. The Conclusion: The place was decent, but def over-hyped. Being in the Duluth area there are plenty of other ramen bars to experience with better tasting ramen. As for everything else, ide say it was spot on. That being the service, time for food to get to our table, aesthetics and the waiters/waitresses wearing masks just in case so they don't inconvenience the customers. Covid Safe? Def approved, waiters wore masks, and tables were decently spaced apart. 10/10 on that front. TL:DR (Pros) Aesthetically pleasing place, Fast seating, Great service, Nicely present food (Cons) Bit expensive, Over Hyped, Tooooo salty read more

Sometimes I wish I could magically transport food in its delicious freshness all the way to my house when I order to-go. Sadly, with crunchy things, it doesn't end up happening this way. Regardless, this Jinya was bursting with flavor, texture, and plant-based options. I loved it! The impossible gyoza was deliciously crunchy and full of flavor and texture with the chunks of soy meat. The octopus kind of got lost in the Takoyaki, but it sure was creamy! The crispy rice with the spicy tuna came together with the crunch and spice of the fresh jalapeño. Their creamy vegan ramen was also incredibly packed with bold flavors and yummy tofu. I highly recommend this place!! Will definitely be snagging some more gyoza very soon. read more

We arrived with a group of 5 with this being my first time. Greeted upon walking in and immediately shone to our table in the back near the beautiful mural. Ambiance was casual, with natural sunlight and some low overhead lightning that did make reading the menu slightly difficult. Overall service was great, where we got our correct appetizers (4) and drinks quickly. Entrees came out shortly after finishing the appetizers. Portions were perfect for sharing. I got myself the Traditional JINYA 2010 and a yuzu margarita. The broth is on the heavier side, otherwise, the egg, chashu and noodles were great. read more

Finally had the perfect opportunity to try JINYA tonight and I must say that I was pleasantly surprised. My husband and I got the Premium Tonkotsu Red Ramen and my daughter got the Jinya Tonkotsu Black Ramen, along with a few appetizers. The red ramen has a spice level option from 0-10. 1-2 was medium spice level, spicy started at 3. There's a surcharge of $1 for levels 6-10. My husband and I got level 2 and the spice was just right. It was spicy but it was tolerable and wasn't overwhelming. The broth was really good and so rich. The slices of pork were extremely tender. Possibly some of the most tender pieces I've ever had at any ramen restaurant. The service was outstanding. The seating restrictions aren't strict here. My daughter, my husband, and I sat at the bar top window seats along with other patrons to our left and right but even though there were no dividers between us and the other parties, we weren't rubbing elbows. The restaurant itself isn't very big and they do get pretty busy so you may have to wait 10-15 minutes for a table on busier nights. We only waited for about 5 minutes so definitely a huge plus for the quick seating because everyone that walked in after our party had about a 30 minute wait. Overall satisfied with our visit Jinya is definitely a great addition the area. I highly recommend you giving them a try if you're ever in the area. We definitely enjoyed it! read more

Disclaimer: My review is coming from someone who loves pho-like flavors vs ramen This was my second time trying "crafted" ramen and I can confirm I am not a ramen type person. I actually would prefer to eat packaged ramen. I want to say it's due to an immature pallet but I honestly cook a lot of international dishes and love them and am always willing to get out of my comfort zone. I wish I could have liked this place but I really didn't. I could not get past the poultry like smell of my dish. I got the chicken ramen. I added some of the side condiments like seasoning sauce and hot sauce paste from the jar and it did help mask the poultry smell a lot more but it just wasn't "giving". I also noticed appetizer dishes other tables got, the smell was kind of interesting and different than what I'm used to. Panna cotta was delicious! A custard/creamy type dessert with ice cream 5/5! Customer service is very nice 5/5 alone! All in all, due to the high ratings on Yelp and verbally about Jinya I'm sure it's worth the hype but I'm just not a ramen type person outside of the house. read more

I have to say that Jinya is probably one of my favorite spots but last time I was there, I made a pick up order and I was not pleased. I had to pay before I got there and when I picked up my order I was given small portions of everything but I think what stunned me the most was the amount of broth I got. I mean it's broth, you would think they would serve you a fair amount. Safe to say I was really disappointed when I got home and opened my pickup order . See picture attached read more

Love this place! The Spicy Creamy Vegan Ramen and Flying Vegan Harvest are my faves. They are delicious, seasoned well, include veggies, and also offer some tasty toppings. The staff are also very friendly, even when we're only picking up. They also yell a warm welcome each time you enter. There's plenty of seating, inside and out at the two establishments we've eaten at. read more

Bummer! I was so excited to go to Jinya again after about a year! I've really enjoyed the Alpharetta location the last few times. When I found out that there was a Duluth Location, I thought I would give it a try. The staff was friendly and the pot stickers were very yummy. Unfortunately the chicken in my soup was very hard. I even let it sit in the soup a while thinking it would help tenderize it, but that didn't work. The waitress came by, I told her that it was hard. She said she could get me another piece, but by that time I was nearly done with the soup. The noodles and broth were good, but the chicken was not good at all. Sometimes you get so psyched up for a place and it's a letdown. That's what happened to me here. I need to try the Alpharetta location again soon :). read more

Was excited to see a Jinya opening in Duluth. Purely food based review: Spicy Tonkatsu - Size, broth, cha siu we're all good, however my noodles at the end had a very hard, clumpy piece, and when I bit into it, it tasted very raw... Fried Brussel Sprouts - Best thing we had, really good appetizer Yuzu Ramen - Good if you like the sour, citrus flavor Tokyo Curry - Smaller portion than expected, decent, but you can skip this one if you make Japanese curry at home. Overall, the big raw noodle piece kinda ruined the experience for me. I'll be back in the future though to try them again read more

Definitely one of my worst take out experiences ever! I called for a pick up order. Apparently, the place's phone system is terrible. The person kept saying he can't hear me because "it's loud" in the restaurant. I kept having to repeat my name, only for him to ask me to speak louder and repeat about 5 more times. I was practically shouting into the phone! After about 2 minutes, I was finally able to place my simple order: 2 noodle soups, 2 toppings, one extra noodle. I was told it would take 15-20 minutes, which was great. The order ended up taking about 40 minutes from the time I hung up the phone to the time it was finally ready. When I got home, I realized that the 2 toppings were missing. I called the restaurant again to let them know. Much to my dismay, the same guy answered the phone. I had to tell him a total of 4 times what my order number was and what was missing. I told him I was on my way back to pick up the missing items. He said the manager is aware of the issue, and he was going to ask the kitchen to prepare the items right away. When I arrived 15 minutes later, the toppings were of course not ready. I waited another 15 minutes for 1 broccolini and 1 brussel sprouts! This is just beyond ridiculous. I think I need to give this place at least a month or two to get their act together before coming back. read more

JINYA Ramen Bar - Duluth Neat little place. Tables were so close to each other that I felt uncomfortable. We ordered lot of appetizers. First we ordered Takoyaki (8/10). It was rich a creamy portion was good . Second we ordered impossible Gyoza (9/10) soo good . Spicy shrimp tempura was great but was not spicy as all (9/10). Lastly I ordered salmon poke taco that thing is really mini. It's like one bite . But boy it was good . And finally dinner we ordered jinya tonkotso black(pork ramen/noodle), it was just ok . Last the dessert it was very bad LoL . Mochi love cream . That alone made me not want to go back to that place again . Ohh we ordered some hot sake and leache drink . It was good . And Service was good as well. read more

Compared with the other Atlanta locations, this is my favorite. It was an overall better experience, flavor-wise and staff. I had the classic tonkatsu ramen. Good flavor, perfect soft boiled egg.

This review should of been completed months ago because I've been back a dozen times! I forgot so here goes nothing... Where do I begin?!? Ok so I've been commuting to Jinya in Buckhead and Sandy Springs for a while now. I don't mind because I like those areas, and their food is unmatched but my old apartment was in the area. Needless to say I was excited to hear that this location was in the making Unfortunately, I missed grand opening but I managed to make it in on their day two. I had an opportunity to met the owner. He was humble, actually helping his team (not just delegating) and super kind to me.His staff was quick and efficient, the food was delicious, the seating area was trendy and the location was perfect! The outdoor seating area is gorgy too. This is definitely the new hot spot for me! Stop reading and go! read more

I have eaten at this location before and was satisfied. Recently I took a new patron and the food was subpar. There was a lunch rush but we were seated following the hostess cleaning our table. The table was wet...as most know those wet washcloths are generally not super clean. There were still crumbs and remnants of the previous guests food on the table. Under the table next to us had food and utensils with newly seated patrons. I always order the off the menu cha cha cha and when it arrived the broth wasn't quite what it usually is. The garlic was presented to me on the side and the seaweed was like rubber. They were out of all things salmon and ginger ale. Imagine ordering all of your favorites from this place and they just say they are out. This was a weekday by the way so not sure why things weren't replenished in time for normal weekly flow. It's possible they were having a bad day or this could be management issues but I will stick to my original Sandy Springs Location that's always on point with service cleanliness and food quality and supplies. read more

I usually go to the Buckhead one but was in the area and wanted to give this a try! We got the chicken karaage to start. It was super crispy and the pieces were larger than we thought they'd be. Of course it paired nicely with a cold glass of sapporo. For ramen, I decided to try the yuzu shio deight, since I always get the tonkatsu black. It had a lighter broth and was more refreshing with the spinach that was added. It made me feel healthier than I probably am I was so glad I tried it. And as always, I left feeling satisfied. read more
