Brussels Sprouts Tempura
Daisy A.

Consistently good ramen, even if not the most authentic place! I usually go with the spicy chicken ramen and always add a seasoned egg- which is always good! Recently, my bf and I tried the spicy tuna tacos, salmon poke tacos and Brussels sprouts tempura for apps. The spicy tuna ones were our faves . Service is reliable and quick, as always, making the experience smooth and enjoyable. The ambience is cozy, perfect for catching up with friends, a casual date, or even dining solo.

Jinya Chicken Ramen
Jonathan V.

We decided we wanted ramen on a recent cold Houston night and went to one of our consistent places, JINYA. JINYA is located in the heart of midtown in a popular restaurant strip. Their ramen is flavorful and solid and their service is consistent. Parking: parking is free in the garage around the corner from JINYA. We went during the week and the garage was not packed. There's also paid street parking around the restaurant that you can find but look for signs to know when you have to pay and when you don't. Service: service here is very good. They have an army of waitresses and waiters who check on tables and we never had to ask for refills or never had to flag down someone. Our food came out in a timely manner. The one thing I will say about service is the appetizers we ordered came out right before our ramen so we had all of our food at one time which was a lot. I wish they would've spaced out the food timing a little more. Ambiance: JINYA has a modern interior and open concept. They have tables, booths, and 2 big community tables in the center of the restaurant. The restaurant playlist is hip and modern. The inside of the restaurant is dimly lit so if you have bad eyesight, get ready to use your flashlight to read the menu. Food: we ordered two ramens and the gyoza and edamame. Gyoza: these were fried well and had a gyoza sauce that came on the table. The wrapper was thin and they were not too oily. We would order this again. Edamame: this was typical edamame. Nothing too special. Would not get this again when we come back. Creamy Classic Tori-Paitian: this is a chicken ramen with wavy noodles that came with fried enoki mushrooms, chicken chasu, butter, spinach and a corn rib. This ramen was rich in flavor and had so many fun, delicious toppings. The corn run was grilled nicely and I wish I had more of them in my bowl. I'm a sucker for enoki mushrooms and this did not disappoint. I took the enoki mushrooms out of the ramen immediately so they didn't get soggy fast and that was the move if you want the mushrooms to stay crunchy. The chicken broth was rich and light which was a great combo. I finished this bowl to the last drop. JINYA Chicken Ramen: my girlfriend got the chicken ramen with a side of bamboo. Warning on the bamboo: the bamboo comes dressed in sesame oil and sole hot oil so they are a little spicy. The chicken ramen broth was once again rich with flavor and light. The chicken chase was good and this ramen comes with thin noodles instead of wavy noodles. Overall JINYA hits the spot when craving ramen or some hot soup on a cold day. The chicken broth is legit and I will be closing back to try the pork broth soon. My only qualm with JINYA is the price at over $17 per bowl of ramen. There are cheaper ramen places but JINYA flavor makes up for the priciness.

Spicy Chicken Ramen (with creamy vegan broth)
Dolly O.

Consistently good ramen. I've been visiting Jinya for years and never had a bad meal. I always get the spicy chicken ramen and substitute the broth for the spicy creamy vegan broth (like this broth better) -- and it's always delicious. Staff are friendly. Great service. Very cute inside.

Spicy chicken ramen with a ginger beer

Jinya Ramen is to Japanese food what Chipotle is to Mexican food. It's not super authentic, it's very much a commercialized chain.... but it IS consistent. If you temper your expectations of eating super authentic Japanese style ramen, you can enjoy your meal here. I often go to the KFT or Feng Cha right next door so I stop in to Jinya beforehand. The food always tastes the same, I have never had a day where I got what I didn't expect. The staff are also always super friendly, authentic, and the food comes fast, so the service is A+++. That said, my main gripes are: 1. Portions are SMALL. I'm a very small-volume eater, which means I get full really fast on small portions, but after eating a bowl of ramen at Jinya, I still felt a little hungry. But the ramen was already $17!!! No way was I going to pay for more. 2. Spicy levels are almost nonexistent. There are three levels: mild, spicy, and hot. I can barely taste the spicy at spicy level, and "hot" would be what I would consider a "mild" at some other establishments. So if you're looking for genuinely spicy ramen, this is not the place. These gripes are not really anything that management can change, as they are a chain and have to adhere to portion sizing and recipes provided by corporate. You just need to be aware of what you're getting when you go to a Jinya.

The spicy in spicy chicken ramen wasn't really there. Located with the parking garage, so huge plus. We got seated right away at the bar on a weekend. Ambiance is dark and ominous lol like I needed my flashlights to look at those tiny words on the menu. Maybe I'm getting old. I had lychee martini, and that was 4/5. I've had better and I have worse. It definitely wasn't fake lychee flavor so I appreciate that. Also had spicy chicken ramen. When it came out, I was like I really should've gotten extra noodles because this wasn't Texas size I was expecting. HOWEVER, to my surprise, the portion was filling. The bowl is deep.. noodles were cooked right, but it really didn't have the good spice to it. It felt little flat. It's a good place to try it out though.

I came with a big group around 10/11 and everyone was so accommodating!! My ramen was delicious and I would definitely come back!! Our server was very sweet and very attentive!!

Great food. Great service. I heard comments about it not being authentic and more like fast food. We did not feel that way. Everything was delicious and being able to customize your ramen was nice as well.

Tan Tan Men with extra wontons
Ebony L.

If you're wanting consistency, this is your place. I never physically have eaten at Jinya so getting the full experience and aesthetics was great. It's beautifully designed and very modern. Gives a romantic upscale vibe even though I was there on a random afternoon wearing workout gear, single as hell. The staff were all very pleasant and helpful with the menu, special items and HH overview. I went with the Tan Tan Men and the chill sesame seeds or oil caught me off guard and tickled my throat pretty good. Yes to the spicy tuna tacos and skip the J. Girl. You are paying for the vibes as this is on the higher end for ramen, so that would be my only major gripe.

Shrimp Wonton Ramen - oily mess.
Mercedes D.

The Shrimp Wonton Ramen shouldn't be served to humans. It's literally all oil and it tastes like really diluted shrimp crackers. Just an oily inedible mess. When I contacted the restaurant to see if I could exchange they said sorry all complaints go through DoorDash and wouldn't help me as per their policy. Won't be ordering ever again.

Chicken wonton ramen
Maria E.

JINYA Ramen has the best ramen I have ever had! My husband and I both ordered the wonton chicken ramen! We added baby bok choy and seasoned egg. The broth was out of this world and had lots of noodles and veggies! We also ordered the crispy rice spicy tuna. Wow! It was amazing! The service was excellent as well. Great ambience!

Jinya has always been one of my favorite places for ramen around town, and the Midtown location is my favorite out of all their locations around Houston area. I've been coming to this location for over 10 years, and the quality has always been super consistent and delicious. Being in Midtown, the restaurant definitely does get very packed, especially on the weekends, so it can get a bit difficult to find parking in the attached garage or the surrounding street parking if you go during busy hours. The tables/seats are a bit small and close together, so it does get pretty loud in the restaurant. The ambiance is dark and casual, and the servers are always friendly. For the foods, you really can't miss with whatever you order. There is a wide selection of ramen to choose from, and the broths are always super flavorful. You can customize the spice level, add additional toppings, and/or substitute the ramen noodle. My absolute favorite ramen are the Jinya Tonkotsu Black ramen and the Wonton Chicken Ramen. I also really love their rice bowls, especially the Pork Chashu bowl. I also really like their selections of appetizers, especially the Pork Gyoza and the Takoyaki.

The food was fantastic. It was my first time going to a Ramen restaurant and I loved it. We sat at the community table that created a fun atmosphere and everyone cheered for patrons as they came in. Our waiter, Romeo, was great!

Salmon poke, jinya bun, tonkatsu black
Cyto K.

It was quite busy at the restaurant, and the atmosphere was quite nice very Houston most people Were very Houstonian Perhaps it's to accommodate the locals, but the broth was mediocre in all honesty. Nothing crazy to write home about we had their signature tonKatsu black. NO MISO In case there are people who are interested in that flavor Perhaps it was a busy evening, but they gave us a drink that wasn't ours and Gyoza that wasn't ours. I would've happily taken it if I hadn't have to pay. lol. Our waiter Baisak was very kind and attentive though he was insistent on the gyoza and it was brought out even when I said we only wanted two other appetizers I thought he brought it over because he wanted us to try it, but we made sure to speak to them that we didn't want or order it. Very understanding tho! They only give you one piece of meat So I feel like for the price that's a bit expensive considering it's $17 a bowl. Even though the egg is an entire egg, not half an egg, I would rather substitute and have them give us more at least another piece of chasu Salmon poke tacos was amazing. That I recommend if you can eat raw sushi Jinya bun was not bad, it was half fatty and half meat and a lil hard so it was ehh We had their matcha tiramisu cake and honestly, it was more Matcha and cream than tiramisu so I wouldn't recommend ordering that unless you want a Matcha cream cake very misleading Overall, there are other places that I would rather choose as this one is just subpar. Nothing crazy about it and honestly over priced for what it is

I went because this was the only bar open during Labor Day when I had guest visiting. So I would say it's a pretty nice location, considering the fact that it is always consistently open. They had a good menu with different cocktails that were fun and fruity. Otherwise, I did also see people could order coffee at the bar and have different espresso drinks. It looks like the drink that I ordered is also no longer on the menu. The bar prides itself on having a rotating meal changing menu so I think that's a lot of fun when it comes to trying new drinks and new combinations and it truly shows the artistry of the bartender. There was the option of both indoor and outdoor seating. The interior was more of a dimmer, elegant and darker tone. I can see it being pretty classic if you were to go at night time. The bar set up was really beautiful and they had different 2 to 4 seating wooden tables. Overall, the inside would probably only fit around 20 people. I was very sad because we couldn't sit outside. The day before it had rained so every outdoor seating was wet. But I was told that they had a beautiful seating outside with a garden and a pool. Service was good. The bartender came out of the bar to take orders, give menus and give you the check. I will say that it got really busy at the end and it took a while to get our check. There's only one or two bartenders working at one time so if there's multiple people with different drinks that are ordered, it will take a little bit longer.

Not hard to find, it's located to the right as you walk in. What brought us here is that it's listed as one of the top 50 bars in Houston in Houstonia Magazine. Service (3/5): While we had a waitress, she was slow to greet us and slow to check up on us. It's a small bar and there isn't a ton of seating so it's not like she was overwhelmed. For a fancy hotel, you expect better. Maybe sitting at the bar is better than sitting at some seats as we did. Ambiance (4/5): The Colombe d'Or is a beautiful hotel and Bar No. 3 reflects that. It's an elegant spot to grab a drink, although small. Food (N/A): While there are expensive items on the menu, I had dinner earlier that night so I was on a liquid diet. Drinks (3/5): Bar No. 3 is known for its cocktails so I focused on the cocktail list. The list isn't large but it features a nice selection. Like the food, you're going to pay a premium. I enjoyed my adult beverage but felt like it was a bit overpriced. Hitting up hotel bars isn't a common occurrence in Houston unless you're a traveler. For Bar No. 3 to be the only hotel bar on Houstonia's top 50 is a feat in itself.
