    Finally a new restaurant with different cuisine opened up in Riverside mall. JINYA serves ramen, Japanese dishes and cocktails. Contemporary and modern design. Friendly staff. Very attentive. She went through the menu with us since it was our first time. We had JINYA Tonkotsu Black, takoyaki, Tan Tan noodle and kids meal. I love the tonkotsu ramen. The ramen texture is good (firm). Broth is rich. The black garlic oil on top gives another boost for flavor. Kids meal portion is big. It includes ramen with corns and scallions. Chicken on top of rice (this one is really dry, didn't like it). 2 karage with salad and a lollipop. The dessert is ice cream. We also tried J Girl and Matcha lychee lemonade. Both are good. Overall a great addition to the mall.

    Tried to put a bad experience behind me and gave this place a second chance on Memorial Day during happy hour, after shopping at Riverside Square Mall. We ordered: lychee martini, spicy orange whiskey, spicy salmon tacos, crispy rice, fried chicken, and matcha crème brûlée. The food was noticeably better this time -- a solid 4/5. The atmosphere, however, was a different story. The restaurant was packed with underage kids and their parents, thanks to a "kids eat free" promotion. The result was a surreal clash of thumping club music with crying babies and children sprinting around like it's Nickelodeon Park. Ambiance: 1/5

    I was lucky to snag two seats at the bar and enjoyed a lychee martini and the tokontsu black. Seems like a super popular place to dine at the mall, so do expect a wait. It's definitely worth it! And they have a huge variety of food options if you are dining with women that may not want to have ramen.

    Jinya is the latest addition to the Riverside mall in Hackensack. It's been couple of weeks since they opened, so we decided to try it out for Saturday lunch. The interior was stunning, with gorgeous decors, lights, ambiance and a gorgeous bar. Upon arriving around quarter past 11am, the restaurant had only few guests. We got a table right away after checking-in with the host. The menu had plenty of Japanese appetizers, ramens, rice bowls, alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. We started with the takoyaki, that was the best takoyaki I have ever seen. The fried octopus balls were sitting on top of egg yolk mixed with the sauce. It was so delicious. For entree we got the Tonkatsu Black and Tan Tan Men ramens. Both ramens had delicious broth, dense and full of flavor. The noodles were thin and the meat was well prepared. My daughter's kid's meal also had noodles, rice, chicken, fruit, candy and ice cream, a full platter for only $11. That was one of the best kid's meal deal I ever saw. We also ordered mocktails J Girl (blood orange, strawberry) and Match Lychee lemonade. The drinks were also top quality. Our server was super nice. After she found out it was our first time at Jinya, she gave a breakdown of the menu. Also checked on us many times. The dishes came out in short time. Our table was also cleaned once we finished eating. Overall we were happy with the experience and were elated to have such an upscale ramen place near us. We signed up for Jinya's reward account to collect the points for our visit, since we know we will be back soon.

    Super stoked that this place opened in Hackensack! I was in town for a visit and stopped in for lunch...and had a lovely time slurping away - we ordered the tonkotsu black and it is always a bowl that hits the spot and has the J Girl mocktail that made it all fabulous! Join the Jinya rewards program as this is a new program and I'll be racking up points at all the other locations that I visit!

    Tried out JINYA last night for dinner! Staff were so friendly, helpful, and kind and despite being busy our food and drinks came out fast. Inside is very clean and maintained well. The food and drinks were excellent. We highly recommend the cucumber salad, shrimp tempura and crispy spicy tuna rice. We all enjoyed our ramen. I highly recommend it and I'd encourage you to try!

    i was here last weekend and let me tell you it was so good. i love ramen and i have been to a few ramen spots and i would say this is top 5. i got the birria ramen. its a mexican japanese fusion dish. i have had birria tacos before and i really wanted to see how the mix with the ramen would taste. it was out of this world. btw they give you a small lime slice with it and i like a little more lime so i asked and they brought me a small plate of extra limes. i ate the whole thing and it was enough food to get me full. good portion size. my friend got the spicy chicken ramen and said it was enjoyable also. can not say anything bad about the experience and the food. also our waiter was great. customer service was excellent, they stop by your table multiple times to ask if everything is ok. also loved the ambiance.

    I came here for my birthday lunch with my son and had such a great experience. Our server Neil was amazing from start to finish. He was very kind, attentive, and made us feel really welcomed and comfortable the whole time. His customer service was excellent and he truly helped make my birthday lunch special. The food was great, the atmosphere was beautiful, and Neil's positive attitude made everything even better. I definitely had to leave him a nice tip because he was so cool and professional. Thank you again, Neil, for making our day memorable!

    Had lunch today at So Gong Dong Tofu & BBQ in their Hackensack, NJ location…read more Inside is pretty spacious with lots of seating. The establishment has a very calm atmosphere, with a clean modern ambiance perfect for casual dining. Ambiance rate 7/10. To start off, they give an array of bottomless Korean side dishes like fish cake, kimchi, and radish which I enjoyed. My friend and I ordered... 1. Seafood Pancake: This appetizer was incredibly delicious! The variety of seafood incorporated into this soft Asian style savory pancake made it very flavorful! Rate 9/10. 2. Beef Tofu Stew: This had beef, kalguksu, and tofu at a regular spice level. This dish was average, nothing special. I enjoyed the tender beef. This dish tastes very heavy of tofu, even from a sip of the stew. Therefore, if you're a big fan of tofu, this dish is for you! Rate 6/10. 3. Pork Bulgogi Bento Box: I was satisfied with this box due to all the different kinds of foods included in it, such as miso soup, pork bulgogi, tempuras, japchae, salad, and rice. Overall, it was delicious and filling! However, the pork bulgogi wasn't too flavorful, or that spicy like advertised, and it was really oily. Rate 7/10. The service was very quick, and although our waiter was helpful, he didn't seem that friendly. For example, if I asked for more napkins, he would seem annoyed. Service/staff rate 5/10. Overall, this place is a nice spot to enjoy casual Korean food. However, I wouldn't come back here again because of the mediocrity of the dishes, and limited menu selection.

    Stopped by the Hackensack SGD location and never been more happier! I am a huge fan of SGD as I've…read morebeen to the Hartsdale location. I love their tofu and galbi and always crave it. This SGD was on our way to Ikea in Paramus and we stopped by for lunch. First when we walked in the server saw us coming with our baby stroller and already lead us to a nice table where we were able to park our baby in a good location next to the window. I felt she was already attentive! We went on a weekday and it was not too busy. The menu here was slightly different, they offered extra noodle dishes that I had not seen in the other SGD location! But it didn't matter to me, because I was only craving galbi. So we ordered the galbi and hubby got the tofu stew with beef and kimchi, which he declared was the best! Overall loved this location. Good service and very clean.
