    Tonkotsu red spice level 4
    Tiffany C.

    Stopped by for a quick walk-up to-go order, and the experience was top-notch from start to finish! The hostess was super sweet and helpful, and my food was ready in a flash. I ordered the Tonkotsu Red at a spice level 4, and let me tell you--it is SPICY! But despite the real heat, the flavor was still incredibly rich and delicious. I'm usually not a big fan of soft-boiled eggs on my ramen, but I decided to just go for it this time and I was pleasantly surprised! The atmosphere in there is great, making it a wonderful dinner spot. I'll definitely be back soon, but next time I'm dining in to get the full experience!

    Tonight I placed a delivery at 731P - pretty reg customer in fall/winter. Cool, takes usually 30-50mins on average, maybe 60 with rain; today was quoted at 40-50. Cool cool. As long as my food is well prepared, I am pretty chill on that window. But, fast forward to 9Pish (aka 40ish mins post anticipated delivery window)... I've not received my food yet and it hasn't left the shop at 9:13P. I checked in on the app and my uber driver informed me at 9:01 they had misplaced my order and had to refire it. I called the shop myself - lo and behold - they gaslight me. Person on phone: "Your uber driver hasn't been here - ma'am "... Me: "I can literally see my uber driver on a map, sitting in front of your shop. He's been there since roughly 10mins after I placed the order." I ask to speak to a manager, looking for an explanation "no, no it's just busy". Odd how two completely different stories fall out of mouths but the first one is to throw another human being under the bus? Girl, you work in service, what are you doing throwing a fellow service member under the bus? Literally all you had to say was "there was an issue in the kitchen, we are redoing your order and will get it out immediately"... But, Jinya chose the "I'm a terrible human" option and blamed the poor delivery guy for their incompetence (wouldn't have even called it that if they'd just said it was an honest mistake). And, also, manager/not manager #1 blaming the driver and #2 gaslighting a customer about "it's a busy night". No, yall just missed the mark and cld have said that and you were sorry for the delay but now we had to go full circle on blaming a delivery person and gaslighting a customer come on people... After talking to these terrible "managers/not managers" (according to them, pretty sure #1 hung up on me)... Food arrived at 9:29P (ordered at 731P)... Jinya eggs are forever cold every time I order because they prepare them early in the day, have never commented on that until today... But, somehow, Jinya delivered every item COLD to me. The gyoza has a FILM of grease; the broth is cool to the touch, the ramen (noodle bowl) is freezing...this meal was "ordered" at 8:51P according to the cute lil tag they put on it tell your employees to maybe not lie as a standard practice because they're awful at it... YOU blamed the trackable delivery guy Your team could have just said there was an honest mistake, but alas put me down a rabbit hole that could have been avoided. And to that extent...Do you and your team realize how much money you cost the delivery man you blamed for this situation???? Be better humans. IT'S ON THE BAG - 8:51P.

    Located right at the corner plaza with plenty of underground parking, which is a huge plus. Came through on a packed Friday night but somehow got seated right away. The vibe is cool but a little too dark, and the tables are super cramped side-by-side. Got the crispy chicken to start...super crunchy and actually really good. For mains, we got the Tonkotsu Black and Tonkotsu Red ramen. The ramen isn't like mind-blowing, but it totally hits the spot. The noodles are on the thinner side, which I like. Just a heads up on the Red ramen: a level 4 is spicy for me. I had to order extra noodles just to balance it out lol.

    Amazing service by Giselle and so fast on bringing our Lycheetini and food out! We were passing by and saw the happy hour sign and we were soo satisfied!!! - J & L

    Takoyaki to share, fantastic flavor
    Amy G.

    The Tan Tan Men ramen was a very unique take at the traditional cozy warm broth you're used to and instead was a cold bowl. The flavor was great and was unexpectedly delicious! The matcha was just sweet enough without being too sugary and a true matcha treat!

    This is still my favorite. Ramen plays my number one go to and it is always worth the drive . Since I moved away to the San Gabriel Valley, I still make it my best effort to come and eat this my favorite Ramen spot my favorite Ramen noodles broth. Everything about this place is absolutely delicious. The service is always great and not like the layout of the restaurant.

    Great service from Giselle. She was very friendly and helpful and even help me replace my Ramen when I found it to be too spicy. The vibes are very cute, it's a very small location here, but the food is really good. The lycheetinis are excellent as well.

    Sometimes there's a wait but it's worth it. Great food and service. They also have a reward program.

    A pretty good place for ramen. I hear the broth is pretty good. I had the pork bowl with rice. The rice bowl was a little dry but had good flavor. The server was very nice and told me about their rewards program which I signed up for but didn't know I had to do something before I left the restaurant. So bummer, no rewards for me. We sat outside which wasn't so bad since the weather was pretty cool. It was nice to be outside but not much of a restaurant vibe. More like a cafe. Parking is above and below ground. Menu prices are moderate.

    I love the vibes of this place. It's on the quite side and is a bit dark inside. But there is also patio seating, which I am sure is louder next to the parking lot. Although it was a bit busy with the dinner crowd, we were seated right away and service was easy enough to wave down. The ramen here is good, about average LA pricing. But I also love their salmon bowls. It's got a good diverse menu for everyone. Good place for a date night or a small group.

    I have been come here since it opened. It used to be my favorite in the whole SFV. Let me start by the service was superb. Unfortunately, I got such a stomachache after having the chilled tamtam noodle. It was flavorful. But not exactly chilled. More like almost warm but just got a bit of cold water on top.... My kid had Jinya Original, we switched to thin noodles, just like what they used to make. That was good. It was not too busy at Saturday afternoon. Table was clean.

    JINYA Ramen Bar - Studio City Reviews in Other Languages

    Ask the Community - JINYA Ramen Bar - Studio City

    Do the impossible meat items (tacos, rice bowl, vegan creamy ramen) contain MSG? There's a list included from the owner in response to another question from 2018, but no vegan items were listed.

    Sorry, I don't know - - but I think that your question is more a for the Impossible Meat people. I would suggest following the list the restaurant has given of their MSG-free options.

    Do they still have happy hour?

    Hi John, Our happy hour menu is available everyday for dine-in guests from 3-5pm.

    I see you offer kale noodles? Are they low card or Keto friendly?

    For outdoor seating, do we have to call to make a reservation or is it walk in only?

    Walk in only. They don't take reservations over the phone.

    Are you guys opens for dine in?

    Any Keto friendly options?

    What about the kale noodles? Anyone know if they're lower in carbs?

    Are the noodles vegan for the vegan ramen?

    Yes let them know you want vegan noodles when you order.

    How is parking here?

    There's a parking structure so parking is pretty avail. 👍🏻

    Is there MSG used in the ramen?

    Thank you for contacting JINYA Ramen Bar. At JINYA, all of our ramen broths contain MSG.… 

    Do you guys have gluten free ramen? I saw something about having rice noodles, but is there soy sauce in the broth? Or do you guys make a special one with Tamari or a gluten free soy sauce?

    Hello Kay, Thank you for your inquiry. We currently not offer rice nor gluten free noodles, and our… 

    Is it better than Kopan ramen?

    Yes, significantly better. I've been to Kopan Ramen once and never again. Was not a fan of anything I had there, mediocre at best, and their service was awful.

    Hi is this place "cash only"?

    They accept Debit/Credit and Cash

    This place came up several times when I researched on great restaurants that have excellent vibes…read moreand great food. Although it didn't really necessarily show up as "the best food in LA area" but all the reviews were so good so I became curious to try. Mainly the reviews also raved about the vibes, services, and live music. Well, they were not wrong! It was fairly easy to make a reservation through Opentable, and I made a reservation for two people for my birthday dinner on Sunday night. I put on the notes that it's my bday so it'll be nice to get a nice table near the stage. I didn't have a high expectation, cos I'd never been to the place and I didn't make a call or anything. But wow, they definitely gave us a great table at the very front! As many reviewers had mentioned, the acoustic of the restaurant is really great. You can barely hear other people's conversations. There's a live jazz band playing, so you can really enjoy that. Although it made it slightly hard to hear what other nearby people say to you either, haha. Our server Dawson was a really great one! Very nice, very informative and just has a great vibe that made you feel comfortable to converse with him. We also asked if he could take a picture of us and he went above and beyond with taking our pictures haha. He took the table lamp as our additional "lighting". Such a great service! Dawson also made a few suggestions on food. We ordered the milk bun (so great!), the tiger prawns tostada (omg, my favorite of the night!), braised lamb pasta, pork belly risotto, and roasted broccolini. Everything was really good and really filled us up! We also got the "smokin old fashioned" and "Wake up and repeat" cocktails. It was plenty of food for us so we asked for a check. Dawson asked if we wanted a dessert but we were already full. He asked if it's ok to give us a lil treat for my bday. It was a really nice dessert :). Oh I forgot to mention that they also put a small bday card on the table for me. The prices of food and drinks are on the higher sides, but I feel like it's worth it due to the live music and the vibe. It easily covers the entertainment part. We definitely will go back and recommend this place for anyone who's looking into a nice date night or to celebrate something special. I was informed that Friday has more of a "party vibe" here, although it's still a jazz performance. Sunday feels more laid back :) Overall I'm really pleased by this place. I used to think that I don't care that much about excellent service as long as the food is great, but I was wrong. The excellent hospitality just made the night even better than expected. Thank you for making my bday dinner memorable.

The usually have a live band after 7pm and the sound in the resturant is amazing. It's like a recording studio. The staff was very friendly! The decor and ambiance was also impressive. Definitely swanky but down to earth vibes. I got the rasberry beret cocktail and it was different but fabulous. Not sure how else to describe it. It was refreshing. We got the tiger prawns and it was presented as a toasta, which had a great flavor and texture. The apple salad was also refreshing and a good portion to share between 2 people. The broccolini was cooked perfectly and my favorite after the tiger prawns was the Dungeness crab pasta. It had uni on top! The uni elevated the dish, and honestly there were a good amount of crab meat in the dish. Overall well balanced and creamy. The 2 of us left full and satisfied. Highly recommend this place for a date night. There's also plenty of street parking when we went but there is also valet for $15.

End of the day, a $68 bill pre-tip for a less than genrous plate of ($16??) guac and 4 very small tacos with no rice or beans included and one draft Modelo is just unacceptable. The tacos were adequate, but unspectacular. 'Filet mignon' tacos were a single unchopped hunk of meat well flavored but so bare and small for 2x $22. The guac was too refrigerated, with not fully ripened avocado that resulted in an overly sweet taste and slightly firm texture that was unpleasant. Chips were also just not very good, and also not as far as I could tell complimentary. Service gets high marks for speed and efficiency, but felt super impersonal. Example, a server asked us how everything was while we were clearly just sitting there, not having tasted any of it waiting for some limes to arrive at the table. Just asked the question without surveying at all, and it was very performative and not genuine. Which is fine. I'm not at all mad at the servers, tough job but worth noting when noting the tip % options on the POS. End of the day I don't know if I'll be back or not. Everybody has an off day. But just about every aspect was less than stellar(draft beer was excellent) especially compared to three previous excellent visits. It's getting harder to justify going out for dinner, and at these prices, I would hope they could do a little better.

It was dimly lit and gave off a more outdoor club feel. The only thing that was decent to snack on was the Demogorgon Pizza. It was fluffy like a pastry which really threw me off. I was shocked how delicious it was. I'd definitely recommend that. The Mind Flayer was delicious with very little alcohol. Prices were typical for a theme park. Everything else I didn't find to be worth the splurge.
