    My boyfriend and I came here for dinner Sunday night around 7:30 and got seated immediately at the bar. My absolute favorite thing here is the spicy creamy vegan ramen with additional toppings of fresh garlic (free), seasoned egg ($2.50), and corn ($1.50). The broth is so flavorful and it all goes together so well. The addition of the fresh garlic, corn and egg make it so much better. I do wish the tofu was a bit seasoned, because on its own is bland. Although this place is super delicious, it is quite pricey. Two orders of ramen with a few additional toppings and an order of pork gyoza came out to $61. Still super delicious and perfect for a cold night

    We had a large group that was able to fit around the big table they have, along with 5 small kids. Our server was great and very patient with the kids. Highly recommend the kids meal as it came with a lot! The ramen was so good!! And the smoked old fashioned was great!

    Man, I gotta give this place some love! Though from LA, I'm now living in a Chicago suburb sans Jinya! I've been going to this place in LA for years so when I come to Houston? I know I gotta come. Fortunately, my hotel is down the street and I made my way there as soon as I could after getting out of the airport! Ambience is one thing but happy team members? Effusive and joyful team members? Man, that is another level! The guy who served me was spot on fantastic. I ordered a four piece impossible Gyoza with salad and a chicken Ramen- now let me tell you - attitude will make you smile, the taste of the food and the speed of the service? It will make you full and exceedingly happy! Guess which side of the equation I fell on? Love this place. Every time I come to Houston whether for business or pleasure? I'll be coming here until I move back to LA again that is- haha! Great teams make a difference- thanks for making us a memorable dinner, Jinya Ramen! And if I had gotten the name of the waiter? I would have named him here, but he was pretty great and deserves kudos! I only wish I knew they had a rewards program before I moved to Chicago!

    I go here when I want to treat myself. The food is consistently good. I've tried almost every ramen and appetizer. My favorites are the tonkatsu black and shrimp wonton ramen. The service is always good and they keep the place clean.

    Love the ramen! Great place for ramen and beer. Service is always great. Our waiter Vincent was very nice and very attentive. The ramen portions are big and their kids meal is really good for the little ones.

    Visiting my bff and she highly recommends Jinya. We went on a weekday around 5pm. We were seated and greeted pretty quickly. Superb customer service. Our server was willing to answer our many questions related to the spice level. I decided to order level 6 (not wanting to pay another dollar for higher level of spiciness). It was just truly amazing. I love the heat, the authentic noodles, umami broth, plenty of veggies and the whole egg! Definitely coming back again before I leave town! Thanks to my lovely friend for taking me here!

    Amount of food in to go containers.

    I had a delivery of food from Grub Hub and the amount of ramen delivered was maybe half of what they serve in the restaurant, for the same price. Very disappointing.

    I came here for a dinner with my sister and Dad to celebrate a new job offer, and the location threw us off. This Jinya is labeled as being in "The Woodlands", when it is technically still in Spring. Technicalities aside, this location was absolutely popping on a Saturday night, and to be honest, I'm not sure why. We were seated pretty quickly despite the crowds, but that did mean we had to sit at the bar...this didn't allow us to sit together around a table like a family, which was a bummer. What I did like was the variety of vegetarian and vegan options, including two delicious-sounding ramen bowls. I got the Flying Vegan Harvest, which was a giant bowl of ramen in a creamy broth full of tofu, broccolini, corn, onion, and Beyond Meat crumbles. The meal itself was delicious, One thing that seemed strange was that when we left, we weren't saluted with the loud "ARIGATO!" that almost all customers received when they left. At first, my family and I were wondering why the staff was shouting every 30 seconds. When we left, we didn't get the same "ARIGATO!" treatment, which we found strange since they seemed to be on it with every guest that left before us...

    Spicy umami miso ramen

    What a wonderful experience!! Great food, fun atmosphere, and our waiter was very helpful as this was our first time. I had the spicy umami miso chicken ramen, and it was delicious. Great bar service as well.

They are so helpful. Caleb, Daniel my OG servers/bar tenders are absolutely fantastic. They can recommend the best drinks. Bastian, Jasmine, "Kyle", and Alexandria are new to the crew and they are all so positive and welcoming. I love the new space. The bar has a new space and there is plenty of seating in the new dining room. They also still have a cigar lounge with plenty of seating on leather Chesterfield sofas. The food is really good. They have a daily special. I love when they have the meatloaf. It is so tender. We alway order the pretzel with extra beet cheese. The pizza is a thin crust. It hold up. I love most of the appetizers. The pork belly bites are delicious. The dates are good. The wings are also tasty. Honestly, I could go on and on.

I made a reservation online and I should've taken photos and didn't, whomp. Pros: the manager, the vibes are very speakeasy, down to the staff's dress code, which was awesome! The bathrooms are clean and have music - which should be mandatory in my opinion! The presentation of food and quickness it came out was also a pro! The location is also prime & the decor is awesome. The cons: food itself was not as flavorful as it looked, we just weren't impressed. The best thing was the dessert, banana pudding, and the street corn casserole. We also had Tuscan chicken pasta, fish tacos, the cheeseburger, and chicken Tikka masala. It was ok. It was also very warm inside the restaurant, most people were fanning themselves. It's a tight fit and stays busy. We made a reservation and still had to wait in the tiny waiting area for approximately 15 minutes. It was my daughter's birthday (in the reservation) and they didn't do the fun sparkler. I brought this to their attention and they offered, but it was kind of too late at this point. The manager DID take it seriously and we appreciated it. they offered to do it, but we already had our dessert, it was just a bit of a disappointment. My husband also ordered a drink that was supposed to have fire tableside and it didn't, our waiter was average. It's a tight fit inside so don't expect privacy. Overall, we probably wouldn't go back. My rating: 3/5 (because of the manager), husband: 3/5, daughter 1: 2/5, birthday daughter: 3/5
