Stopped by for a late dinner with my grandsons and my daughter and son-in-law. It was about an hour before closing, and service was still on point. We were promptly seated, and our food was out really quick! Hot and fresh also. The ambiance is casual. This is a smaller restaurant, but they still get the job done. Unfortunately, I didn't eat a ramen bowl, due to my allergies, but I opted for the pork gyoza and the sautéed broccolini. Both were delicious!!! A little disappointed that the green tea doesn't have refills. I'd like my one teabag to be in a pot to get at least two cups from it. It was good, especially with the honey. Our server Issac was great! read more

Jinya is a classic. They have several different locations, in the heights, spring, and Montrose, etc. They are all consistent with the menu and service everywhere. I love the shio for a clearer broth, but if you're a fan of rich, get the tonkatsu. Miso soups are also super popular too! I will say, I wasn't the biggest fan of the birria ramen, but I know it's gotten more popular lately in other ramen spots. They have good options for people new to ramen but it's a consistent place for the price. They have a selection of cookies dishes, ramen and different drinks (both alcohol or non-alcoholic). For example, they have Saporo beer available and non alcoholic cocktails. Service is fast! You get your food in under 10 minutes if they aren't busy. The interior of the restaurant is very wooden and Japanese inspired. You can also sit at the sushi bar and look at the chefs. read more

I have been coming to this Jinya location for over four years now and honestly its my favorite in the greater Houston area. The staff is friendly and attentive. If there is every anything wrong with your meal they are quick to resolve it. The food is pretty consistent with quality and we are big fans of the spicy chicken ramen with an egg added and thick noodles. We also enjoy their gyoza and salmon poke tacos. The restaurant is set up well for large groups or an intament dinner for two. They have a full bar and great specialty drinks. read more

Always love the Ramen here. Also had the fried Chicken as an appetizer and it was yummy. Would love these made with 1/2 breast and 1/2 thighs instead of all thigh meat. But they were yummy read more

I frequent this location often and their servers are always very friendly. They have a lot of seating options but they always want to seat pairs in the back by the bathrooms and it's a little cramped up back there. Beyond that, I always order their Jinya Chicken Ramen with corn and chicken wontons. It's great! You can spice it up and add more flavor to it with their sauces. Their appetizers are always good too. It's a chain but it's definitely not over hyped, their appetizers are good and their ramen options are great. If you're in the mood for some ramen and want a sure fire option the stop by. read more

Today my server recommended that I try the Premium Tonkotsu Red ramen and it was the best recommendation. I'm a Jinya fan but usually I only get Spicy Chicken and just recently I may get the Creamy Spicy Vegan. Today, I stepped outside of the box and tried the recommendation... I LOVED IT. Great location and friendly atmosphere. Will return if I'm on this side again. read more

I've visited quite a few Jinyas all over the city (check my profile) & I just wasn't impressed with the food at this one. One night, my husband and I ordered to go. As always, I got the spicy chicken Ramen, spicy, and my husband ordered the spicy chicken Ramen, extra spicy. The food quality was just OK. The chicken was so rubbery I didn't eat it. The shrimp tempura was OK, but the shrimp was a little soggy. Wasn't a fan. read more

JINYA is my go to comfort food spot. It's not usually busy, when I go. love the vibes and warm greetings when you enter! The salmon poke tacos and creamy shrimp tempura are my favorite apps. The shrimp tempura isn't actually spicy at all imo, but aside from that, the batter is light & delicate, not greasy, allowing the creamy sauce its tossed into to shine. The wonton salmon poke tacos are a flavorful fusion delight! The crisp wonton shells are packed with fresh, marinated salmon, adding a perfect balance of crunch and melt-in-your-mouth texture. The shrimp wonton ramen is a comforting, flavor-packed bowl! The chicken & shrimp wontons add a burst of savory goodness to the rich, well-seasoned broth. Each spoonful is satisfying and delicious. read more

Too over pricey for some noddle and 3 little pieces of chicken ,food is not bad is just ok But, it doesn't worth the money. I don't mind paying if the food is good in proportion ,I was surprised to see those 3 little pieces of chicken . Honestly I think I can get better food with more proteins in it with the same money or even less, won't bother going back to this place , by the way is hard to get in touch with them ,I ordered to go order they made a mistake in my order called them a million time and they didn't answered phone, I had to go back in person to fix the problem with the order. read more

A great late night decision to have a ramen bowl when hunger pangs that had me wandering for something to eat. I went with a spicy chicken ramen. The broth was excellent. Very well seasoned and ooo so damn good. It gave me that kick/ spark tag the body was wanting. While I can't describe a lot of the ingredients/fixings that came in the bowl, they were all pretty good. The one thing that I thought should have been more was the quantity of protein, in my case... chicken. There was not enough chicken in the bowl. That's the only thing that prevented this place from a 5 star. Otherwise it was on point. I almost decided to order another bowl but held off. I will visit them again. read more

Fast service, all the noodle bowls were delicious, and it was not too full with people when we went for lunch on a weekday.

We stopped here for lunch yesterday and we were very pleased! We ordered the fried chicken thighs which were piping hot & delicious! Then Caitlyn, our waitress, informed me of the "off the menu" spicy levels that go to 10! I happily ordered atomic but will try something even more spicy next time! The ambiance was cool as always. read more

GREAT ramen, normally I'd say a little overpriced, but this place warrants the price. It's on of our go-to spots.

Randomly stopped by here to grab some food. We aren't from this area of Houston. The ambience and interior was really nice and clean. I love the decor. Staff was super friendly and food came out fast. All the food items were really yummy too. We thoroughly enjoyed everything! read more

My first pick for ramen in this area! The atmosphere is perfect for any occasion and the staff is always very welcoming. More importantly, I've never had a bad bowl. There are a lot of great options available, however my go to will always be Tonkotsu black. You can never go wrong with a black garlic and a rich pork broth. Although it may not be for everyone, I feel like it is the most flavorful bowl on the menu. read more

I was in love with this place until they altered the only batch of ramen I like. They changed from pork to chicken and they don't even offer the pork anymore so I guess this is good bye it's a shame because it was so damn delicious read more

The food was delicious, packed with flavor. I enjoyed my ramen until the rice bowl showed up and it was even better. You can choose to order a small or large size which is a great option if you're really hungry or looking for a side dish. Very modern decor inside. They are a local chain with several locations. Came to celebrate my birthday and the staff was kind to sing me a song, but would have loved to receive a complimentary mochi ice cream as a special treat. read more

It's hard to find a place that serves really good vegetarian Ramen and trust me I've tried quite a bit.) Yet, None of them compare to Jinyas Ramen. Their broth is full of flavor, and you get the option to add additional toppings to your Ramen if you'd like. I added mushrooms ,extra bamboo, and an egg .You can also select a spice level. I prefer medium. The portions are also large,so I usually eat half and take the rest home. Jinya never disappoints! read more

Came here on a Thursday night around 9pm, not crowded at all. Plenty of parking, and tables, available. The layout was actually pretty intimate. Usually I feel on display at JIN. Pleasant surprise. I was craving a Bun and the J Bun didn't disappoint, a little on the saucy side-- nothing too crazy though. The Ramen was perfection, especially for a chain. I went pretty spicy, but I like a da spice. Beware, that max spicy will get you. Will be back to Thai location for sure! Cheers read more

Food was good and our server Alison was an amazing server. I will come here again. The restaurant is nice and clean

When you come to JINYA, come hungry! Start with the JINYA Tonkotsu Black, our perennial go to dish. It contains an extra meaty and flavorful pork broth: pork chashu, kikurage, green onion, nori dried seaweed, seasoned egg (you can substitute for a "special egg" which means just hard boiled). garlic chips, garlic oil, and fried onion. I repeat, you will be slurping up the deep, meat infused broth all the way to the bone. It's that good. The pork chasu is wonderfully slow cooked and soft and tender. I added the gyoza and salad combination. I would definitely would want a little more gyoza for the price ($6.80), but we gave one to each of my four kids and said that was their entire lunch (just kidding of course). On to the chicken and wonton ramen. It comes with wonton, kikurage and green onion. It has a thinner broth that leaves you with a little lighter feeling, but still is all the while flavorful. If you want something on the lighter side with less toppings, this is a great choice. I can say the same about the shrimp wonton ramen. Overall it had a more saltier and shrimp laden broth, but still was thick and flavorful. I so appreciated the complexity and the slight nuances of each of the ramen broths. Reminds me of some of the great ramen places that are so prolific in my hometown (LA). Overall, we love the fact that we can hit a JINYA either on 1960 or off 290. Sure the bowls are a tad pricey but that's what you pay for solid food. Great service by Linda as well! read more

If you're looking for a little taste of Tokyo, this is your spot. As soon as you walk in, you get greeted by everyone with a Japanese welcome. The vibe feels like a nightlife atmosphere with great music, low lights, and touch of bright orange hue lights in key places. There are several options of where to sit: drink bar, food long table bar, group table seating (hibachi style, and smaller group tables. Our server, Sherry, was super sweet and friendly. We had a few questions about the menu since it was our first time and she was patient with us. We started off with tempura brussel sprouts and we also ordered from the kid's menu. The kid's menu is a large meal that has a small bowl of ramen, 2 strips of katsu chicken with rice, a rice bowl with ground chicken, orange slice, , lollipop, and a single scoop of ice cream (whew!). My kids ended up splitting one of the kids meal and we're very happy with their food. My husband ordered from the vegan/vegetarian options- impossible rice bowl and vegan ramen. I had the house Black Tonkatsu with pork belly. I'm happy we finally tried this place out because the food was definitely delicious. We will be back! read more
