JINYA Ramen Bar - Reston - It's a Ramen kinda day. - Tapas/Small Plates Near Me - Reston, Virginia

No more needing to drive out to Mosaic for Jinya! I was super excited when I saw that Jinya was coming to Reston Town Center months ago when my coworkers and I were walking past it. Recently, I was told they had just opened up and was so excited to try it, hoping that the food would be consistent to what is served up at Mosaic. GOOD NEWS! The quality of food is CONSISTENT. I came to try out Jinya after a long, arduous hike with my younger sister. We got the takoyaki and Tonkotsu Spicy (I got this in HOT). Everything came out perfect. I also added a seasoned egg to my tonkotsu spicy. Don't forget to ask for the extra garlic on the side (it's free!) :) While Jinya isn't the best ramen I've ever had, it's pretty solid and always satisfies my ramen craving. My favorite thing about the tonkotsu spicy is the flavor of the broth and the fact they don't skimp on spicy level. The noodles are thick and chewy and the chasu was buttery, melting in my mouth. While I love the tonkotsu spicy and it's my ramen of choice at Jinya, I will say that I prefer the thinner noodles in JINYA Tonkotsu Black. Both are good but I like the broth in tonkotsu spicy better, which is why I tend to stick to it. Service was friendly and extremely attentive, though not as fast as the Jinya in Mosaic. I noticed the Jinya in Mosaic always comes out with our ramen extremely fast. It took awhile longer at this location, but nothing too extreme. Also, the Jinya at Mosaic seems to have a stronger customer base (never really empty and pretty busy throughout the day). I was pretty sad the Jinya here doesn't seem to get as much love. Even with people coming in for the dinner rush, it was still pretty empty in the restaurant. SO anyway, come check out Jinya in RTC and please show them some love and support :) read more

The ramen was delicious, but I would have liked it to be a little more spicy so I recommend the highest spice level if you enjoy a good kick. The service was great and the vibe was 100% relaxed and friendly. Would come back! read more

Max was our server and he was fantastic! He didn't shy away from sharing the must haves when we asked for his opinion. My husband and I are not new to Jinya. We've been to the mosaic location before, but the Reston location will definitely be our new go to spot. The interior is well decorated and modern. There is plenty of seating area and the service is impeccable. read more

This is my first time visit Jinya Reston. It's nice atmosphere. My server came with smile and so knowledgeable, she recommended tonkotsu black with impossible rice combo which is phenomenal. Takoyaki never get wrong, my favorite. We ordered kids meal for my son, he definitely loves it. Overall: Service 5/5: very attentive, water and sode refilled all the time Food 5/5: fantastic as always. I will come back for others ramen Highly recommend ! read more

If it wasn't Jinya, I wouldn't have tried Ramen in my life. I had lunch with my husband 2 days back and I already can't wait to go back! To be honest, I was contacted by the manager at JINYA on Yelp requesting an honest review in exchange for a complimentary meal. I was very happy to be a part. I was very excited to come to the Reston location after trying their other location in Mosaic district, Fairfax. The restaurant is at the heart of Reston , at RTC. I was welcomed by a host, and taken promptly to my table. The interior is so beautiful and seats are spaced well. Sitting down, I was told to scan the QR code on the table to view the menu. Surprisingly,there were lots of vegan options too. Edamame : My all time favorite snack. Quite tasty and goes well with Japanese beer. Caramelized cauliflower : Caramelized to perfection with garlic and roasted pine nuts, with some lemon sprinkled on top. Not too oily, tasted really amazing. Vegan Bun : When I ordered this, the manger was so happy as usually people don't prefer this over the usual pork bun. The bun has a "vegan meat" , mayonnaise and guacamole. The guacamole gives a rich and flavorful taste to the bun. Crispy chicken : I'm not a crispy chicken fan, but thought of trying it. The chicken was perfectly done, not too thick , not too oily and greasy. We savored every bite. For the main course, we had the "Spicy Chicken Ramen" . Our ramen came out very quickly with an egg added. The ramen was just WOW. These noodles were perfectly cooked. The broth preparation is in house which takes around 9-10hrs. Plus the water used goes through a filtration process. When the manager told me this, I was all the way more in love with the food served here. I just wanted to eat more *__* No meal is complete without a dessert, they had two options - Panna cotta and mochi ice cream. We had the mochi ice cream - both chocolate and matcha. Out of the two, chocolate was the best. It simply melts in your mouth. The staff was super friendly and accommodating. The restaurant follows all the COVID -19 precautions. Overall it was 10/10 experience . To all the vegetarian folks, don't hesitate to give this place a try. They have options in the appetizers and mains. Trust me, you won't regret. Thank you Rafael for having us read more

Delicious! Had Jinya original chicken, fried brussel sprouts and seaweed salad (that also had greens). Food was excellent. Had extra broth so bought extra noodles to go for $3.50...Yummers! Two meals easily! read more

Nice place. It's located in Reston town center. Hits the spot. I got take out. I was nervous to get ramen for take out (spills, leaks, etc) but I liked how they packaged things. Decent portion sizes. My salad came without dressing! :( With take out, they seem kinda slow. Saw several people waiting for their meals to come out. So, if you're doing take out - order your meal we'll in advance to avoid the wait. The atmosphere inside seemed nice, was kind of loud and seemed to attend to a younger crowd. I think that might be nice for a group but perhaps annoying if you wanna just catch up with a friend. read more

I came to JINYA to meet two friends for dinner on a Tuesday night. The spot was pretty quiet so we were seated pretty quickly. I ordered the tonkatsu black, featuring pork chashu, nori, seasoned egg, and more. It also came with a side of hot sauce which I appreciated since I could season to my own taste. The bowl was pretty big but I wish there was more protein, especially for the hefty price of ~$19. The meal felt pretty dominated my noodles at times. Otherwise, it was yummy and very filling. read more

Let me start by saying in not an expert in Ramen. That being said I enjoyed my meal. I ordered takeout because of COVID-19. Order ready on time. Host was friendly. Looks like they adhere to the safety protocols. I was very encouraged by the detailed instructions to heat an serve the ramen. The noodles were not that pre-made noodle. It even said eat the noodle in a specific time. The broth was well balanced and spiced. The shrimp tempura was not greasy and sauce was good. Finished with a Manhattan. Great finish. Manager picked the drink not knowing I do know my bourbon drinks. Very nice. Give this a try. read more

I went and our server was Eric. He was amazing. Very friendly and outstanding guy. I would love to have him as my server again. If he wasn't with other guests, he was either cleaning or having new staff shadow him. I loved his energy put into the service. I personally ordered the tonkotsu black ramen. It was very nice and rich in flavor. As mentioned on the menu, it had a heavy emphasis on a garlic taste. I didn't want any kikurage and Eric suggested I substitute it with some bok choy and I went with that. It was a good recommendation as it cut the heavy taste with the fresh vegetable. My partner had the chasu pork bowl and it was very complex on flavor. It has a bit of sweet, and salty. The egg was a nice touch as it added a nice creamy texture to it. It wasn't just a rice bowl as it also had some soba noodles. My friend got the original tonkotsu ramen. The broth was enjoyable and fragrant. I would love to have that next time as the flavor was lighter than the black tonkotsu ramen. All the meals were very filling. One bowl was enough to put you to sleep. read more

Cool rainy day in Reston needed some comfort food. I do t have many Ramen places near my home in NJ. But I seek out great ramen places when I travel. Jinya did Not disappoint at all. The Kaarage special was a great start. Some complex flavors that had me in heaven. The ramen bowl was perfection as well. I shall return. read more

I originally went to Jinya a few years ago when they were just in Mosaic and it's still just as good as I remember! We were seated easily on a Friday night and were able to order a couple appetizers from their happy hour before it ended at 6. Reston Town Center Parking note: You can park for free in the garages after 5pm! Jinya will validate otherwise. The salmon and tuna cone appetizer was light - the cone is made of wonton crisps. It was delicious, but I wish that it came with more than 2 cones. The pork bun appetizer was good too, but the pork was less flavorful than some other buns I've had. I got the tonkotsu ramen, which had nice thick noodles, Chashu pork, egg, and seaweed. The broth was savory, but just a tad salty (at least for my taste). I added some corn as an extra, which gave it a little bit of occasional sweetness. The staff was attentive and we were checked on multiple times during our meal. I was expecting to leave stuffed and ready for a food coma - but I actually left satisfied and just the perfect amount of full! read more

Honestly, I like Jinya's Chicken Wonton Ramen, but I had to dock two stars because it is just average and so crazy expensive in comparison to any other ramen place in the DMV. I've never encountered any ramen place charging extra for spice! Ambience is cool and fine, it's nice to go to if you're there in the wintertime (would be a nice date after ice skating in the pavilion). Service is also fine. All in all, just average. I only go here if there are no other options, but it's not a bad option. read more

I don't even know where to start, I'll just make a list of my dissatisfactions 1. You are being asked to pay upfront with tips prior to you being serviced 2. The ramen costs $18 whether it's a veg, chicken or regular 3. The ramen is extremely small portion for $18, the soup is less, the meat is less, and I honestly not sure about the noodle since I always needs to order more 4. To follow point 3, they don't have the option to add noodle, they even has an option to add green onions for an astonishing $1 5. The egg came cold, when we asked about that, the waitress told us she will get the manager. And we never heard back from her ever again! Food rating: 2/5 Service level: 1/5 Overall satisfaction: 1/5 Will I ever return? Never in my life. I had been to the Jinya at Mosaic before Covid, and I had a great experience there, I honestly don't know if this Reston one is just bad, or this is the case for all Jinya across the board. read more

A nice, calm ambiance that resembles most japanese themed restaurants but plays more recent music. The service was spot on. The food was delicious! I ordered the poke salmon tacos. Though small, it was totally worth it during the happy hour & full of flavor, especially the crispy wonton shell. The ramen was some of the best ramen I've had state side in Virginia. I had the spicy chicken ramen. I only did mild because all restaurants rate their spice levels differently & this was my first time in Jinya. Next time, I'll definitely go up a level if you love spice. The broth was thick & full of umami & the chicken was cooked perfectly. I only rated 4 stars because we requested mushrooms with our ramen & asked if it was shiitake mushrooms. The waiter said it was, but when they brought it out, it was regular bella brown mushrooms. We spoke up & the waiter changed it for us right away, but if we didn't know the difference or said anything, we would've been paying 3 extra dollars per person for regular mushrooms. read more

Not the best, the ramen wasn't the kind I like. However, what disappointed me was the flavor. Compared to all of the ramen spots I go to this is my least favorite thus far. I ordered the spicy chicken ramen. Soup tasted like tomato sauce and their spicy was very bland. I also ordered a dish to go which is the new ramen without soup and pork on top.... This had eggshells just sitting on top and looked dry. Luckily management handles it professionally. Overall, I won't be going back. read more

On a business trip this week to the area. Got a hankering for ramen. Checked out this spot and ordered my Tonkatsu spicy ramen. I've been all over Japan and lived there for a couple of months. The ramen here is on point, the flavors are all there, pork was perfectly cooked and delicious - it fell apart in my mouth but not in my bowl. The noodles were the perfect thickness. 5/5 on the ramen. Also had an Asahi beer and the temperature was perfect, not too cold, not too warm. I also ordered the green tea mochi and it was great, good texture and flavor. The service here is great too. Candan checked in on me at the bar multiple times to ensure I had everything I needed and that everything was prepared the right way. He was quite friendly and offered suggestions to try. I'll definitely check this place out again read more

I was stoked to find out that there's a Jinya in Reston. The first time I tried their food was at the North Bethesda location, and I simply fell in love. It's sometimes hard to find a good vegan or vegetarian ramen, but their Flying Vegan Harvest ramen has to be the best vegan ramen I've ever had. It contains vegan miso broth with impossible meat, tofu, broccolini, corn, and other veggies. This restaurant is very vegan friendly as they have a vegan bun with impossible meat, which was very tasty by the way. And inside this bun was avocado, pickles, and vegan mayo. I've never had a bun before since they are usually made with pork, so it was nice that there was an alternative meat option. read more

Really fun and chill vibes. A big amount of space inside and the only complaint I would have is that the service is pretty slow and they don't have enough stuff. However the food comes out so fast! The spicy tuna tacos were delicious and tiny but the brussels sprouts tempura was definitely the best appetizer wow! They were so fresh and the tempura breading was flaky and so tasty. They tasted really good with the spicy mayo. I tried the vegan creamy Ramen and it was such an amazing flavor! I can't say that I've ever had anything like that before. It wasn't too spicy for me and I added chicken karaage. Honestly the ramen didn't need any additions though. The flavors and veggies and thicker noodles carried this dish by itself. I would definitely come back wow! read more

Love the decor. Place was empty when we went. Unfortunately, the service was still very slow. The portions are great! The kids meal has 3 meals in once. No way my kids were going to eat all that alone. My ramen was good. I got the Tonkotsu. It was ok. The pork just dissolved in my mouth. Seemed over cooked. The noodles were good. My child loved her noodles. The kids meal was also supposed to come with ice cream but the service was so slow we didn't wait for it to come out. I might come back for lunch and a drink but I won't be running. read more

Having lived in Japan my expectations were high. However, when we entered the restaurant we were greeted by the screechy sound of the metal chairs being dragged over the stone floor. Perhaps the management could consider buying inexpensive plastic plugs for the chairs! We were seated promptly and the service was good and helpful. As it turned out, the gyoza were quite good. Now, why did we give this restaurant a "2"? We decided to order a seaweed salad and what came was a lame presentation. There was a small dollop of traditional seaweed but it came on a bed of sad spinich. The chicken ramen was edible but just ordinary. With some professional training of the kitchen staff and improvement in the food, we would love to return to give it another try. read more
