    Tokyo yotai classic
    Tylee W.

    I've been meaning to try this place for a while and when I was doing errands and saw one nearby, I decided to stop by. I went around noon and was immediately sat at the bar area. My server was Brittany and she was so nice and friendly. She immediately brought me water and asked if I had any questions. She asked if I wanted to sign up for the rewards and I immediately said yes and I got a free nikuman bun! It was absolutely delicious! I love that they have lunch specials throughout the week and a brunch special for the weekends. Not many places do specials on the weekends besides happy hours. I chose the tokyo yotai classic and it was such a fun idea to Collab with Demon slayer for those cute spoons! The broth was very rich and flavorful, and I really enjoyed all the toppings and the entire Ramen as a whole. It definitely hit the spot! Service is amazing, the place is clean, and the food is great! I love the variety of the menu and I definitely want to come back and try the spicy tuna crispy rice, the Matcha lemonade, and maybe a rice bowl!

    JINYA Ramen may be on the smaller side with a limited parking lot and a cozy dining room, but the flavors are anything but small. Everything we ordered was packed with bold, satisfying taste. The spicy chicken ramen was rich and comforting with just the right amount of heat, and the original pork ramen was deeply flavorful and well-balanced. Lunch specials are a great deal especially the crispy chicken dish, which was perfectly crunchy on the outside and tender inside. We also loved the gyoza, the crispy rice, and the eggplant each one delicious and well executed. This is the kind of place where every dish hits, making it worth the visit despite the tight space. Big flavor, great lunch options, and consistently solid food. Definitely coming back!!

    Spicy creamy

    I've been going to Jinya for five years, and have gone to a tone of different locations! This one is my least favorite. It was extremely loud and they seemed a bit frustrated when I needed to move tables and put noise canceling headphones in (I can still hear). The noodles were undercooked and the ramen wasn't as good as other locations. I'll go back to Sugarhouse in the future!

    For what it lacks in space, this tiny restaurant makes up in flavor. Yes, it's tiny-but that adds to the communal charm. There are tables where you can sit with just your party, or there are larger tables that might seat a mixture of folks-what a fun way to get to know new people! Service was outstanding-the server was friendly and attentive without being over the top. And I appreciate that he acknowledged my date's birthday celebration without making it weird (no clapping and singing here, thank you very much!) The food was delicious! I enjoyed a chicken rice bowl while my dining partner had a traditional ramen bowl. Everything came out as requested and tasted very good. Happy to come back and explore more of the menu items!

    Tonkotsu Red
    Brad H.

    Overall, good experience. I had the Tonkatsu Red with a spice setting of 3 out of 8. Definitely hot enough for me. If you want it hotter, there is a container of hot spice on the table or counter. Good portions, char siu was good. The ajitsuke tamago or spiced egg was a whole egg. Nice that they give you a whole egg, but I wish it was cut in half. Eating a whole egg was a bit of a nuisance. The noodles were the straight kind, typical for a tonkotsu broth. Overall, very good. Not THE best I've had but definitely worthy of 5 stars. Service was cheerful. They greet you with "irasshai" (welcome) and a "domo arrigato" as you leave. All said in a gaijin (Caucasian) accent. Nice Asian-ish vibe in the restaurant. I sat at the ramen bar. There are small pots of gyoza sauce, spice, and hot sauce available. $17 for most of their bowls. Not cheap, but reasonably priced for market. Of course, they have other menu items as well. 5* = A top favorite. Mind-blowing good. I will definitely return and I will go out of my way to go here. Worth every dime of my money. 4* = Outstanding. Top-tier. Some elements not quite as good as it gets, but it still is worthy of my regular business. 3* = Good experience. I might do repeat business if it is convenient, the only option, the only one in its category, or on a whim, but would not be among the first thing to come to mind. Would definitely recommend you trying it to get your own take on it. 2* = Not so good. Would not recommend at all. Waste of money. 1* = How are they still in business? Stay away at all costs!

    Original Tonkotsu
    James Y.

    The place is very clean and they have table seating and counter seating. I ordered the Original Tonkotsu and added corn. The noodles are thicker than I'm used too but they were cooked perfectly. The broth was stronger in flavor and was a little darker than I'm used to. The waiter was very helpful and answered my questions.

    The food was delicious! We had an army full of appetizers. But the best dish was the garlic rice! Super flavorful, the fresh garlic cloves and egg. Ramen noodles was perfect! Service was great! She was very attentive and super kind! The vibe was awesome, felt like I was in a restaurant in the small streets of Japan

    Ramen is one of my favorite things in the world. If there's a chance to locate a place that serves it while I'm traveling for work, I will. JINYA is my current go-to in the Murray, UT area. I get there a few times a year for work and it's very close to my hotel. It's a small place. There's a little bar that faces the kitchen, where I've sat on my visits. The staff has always been really friendly and very attentive. The last time I went, I got a sake mojito -- it was unusual but really good! Okay, I got two. The ramen's great. The JINYA Tonkotsu Black is a favorite. I've also gotten some sides and all were good -- especially the sticky bun! The gyoza was also a good choice. Nice place all around and, like I said, it's become my go-to.

    Me and my mom go here at least twice a year and the food is always so tasty. This time I ordered their Chef's Special Birria Ramen and I really liked it! I also ordered a sake mojito which was super yum.

    I've been on the hunt for GOOD ramen since gaining in in Seattle and it's been tough, till tonight!!!!! This was incredible! So glad for a hot date night!!! Go go go! There was so many take out orders and a long long, so worth it!!!

    Tonkatsu Black w/ extra egg.
    Anson A.

    First timer. Went with the Tonkatsu Black (extra egg). Ran me about $25 including tip. Nice flavor. Solid thin noodle. On par pork and broth. Met expectation for an Utah based Ramen spot.

    Amazing food, environment, and staff. Ramen is just delicious. Great list of options for food.

    Good, but not great. The food probably deserves 4 stars, but I'm 90 percent sure our waitress was drunk or high.

    Little dive bar. Big fun! I needed to take the edge off from work and found this gem on Yelp! It's…read moreone of the closest bars by my house and it was open late on a Sunday! Drinks are cheap and so are their Hennessy shots at $7 each! Plenty of seating available, but everyone seems to congregate at the bar. I soon found that the bartender is such a hoot and so friendly! There's a couple of pool tables. The bathrooms are a little "shocking." I was looking for the women's restroom and when the lights automatically turned on, I saw lots of 70s models posing nude. So this is what regular bodies look like before the surgery era! The men's restroom was more classy with people smoking cigars.

    Great little dive bar vibes.

But I wanted a drink and was willing to take the risk, and I'm glad I did, because it was nothing like I imagined. Bartender was friendly and helpful. There was a decent amount of people watching the soccer game on tv, we were all cheering for Colombia, but then they lost, so most of them cleared out. Vibe kinda died after that. But nonetheless I had a great time, and I was pleasantly surprised by the friendly atmosphere. Plus 6$ mules and .50 cent pool is hard to beat. I guess they serve food but I don't know how good it is. Only downside is that's there's just one toilet, luckily I didn't have to wait to use it while I was there.
