    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.

    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.

    Giselle was a great waitress & very sweet. I liked that she was attentive to us. The cucumber salad was amazing and we really enjoyed it.

    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.

    Delicious ramen and small bites! We really liked the eggplant and brussels sprouts. The servers were accommodating for our customization and large party. We sat outside on the patio which was nice but the inside was cozy as well. Parking was also very easy in the structure. Would come back!

    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.

    Parking - There is plenty of space in the garage parking. The spaces are small and tight though. My friend drove their sedan there and it was still hard to get properly within the lines. Inside - They have outdoor and indoor seating. The indoor seating is a bit cramped. I'm not sure if it is a safety hazard to have the tables so close to one another but yeah. Other than that the vibe of the place is nice. Great music and good ambience to hang with friends for food. Seating - To grab a table you go up to the hostess and give them your number. When your table is ready they will notify you through text. I did not have to wait long to be seated. About 15 minutes. The staff were all very nice and the service was fast. Premium Tonkotsu Red - This ramen comes with pork broth, pork chase, green onions, seasoned egg, kikurage (ear wood), seaweed, chili oil, bean sprouts and ramen noodles. You get to choose from a spice level from 0-10. The waitress told us that 3 was considered mild so I got 4. I love eating spicy food so it wasn't that spicy to me. But if you cannot tolerate spicy I would stick between the 1-3 spice level range. The meat was very tender, the vegetables were done just right, and the noodles were firm. The only thing that I was not a fan of was their broth. It was very very salty and oily. I like salt, but it was a bit much for me. I prefer a lighter broth. The overall flavor profile was alright. I would give the ramen a 7 out of 10. Takoyaki - They were very generous with how much sauce they added on the balls. They also made the most perfectly crisp outside and big octopus pieces. This was a 8.5 out of 10 Overall - This was my first time here, but I don't think I will be rushing back. The experience was nice, but I just wasn't a big fan of the ramen.

    We sat by the window on a rainy day. Enjoyed some absolutely delicious ramen with a side of red ginger. Started with the broccolini and it was perfectly cooked. I love the sauces. I mixed the 3 together and it was the best combo (highly recommend). Service was quick and friendly!

    Oh my goodnessss the best ramen iv'e had for awhileee!!!! Ive seen reviews talking about challenging parking but there is a huge free underground parking lot that is always usually empty! Upon entering the place is beautifully decorated but the stars of the show is the service and food that makes me come back to this place. I would definitely say the wait time is fairly long so I recommend getting there a bit earlier from lunch rush but the workers here are always so nice and energetic, I always order the tonkotsu red (spicy) with thin noodles and its honestly the best ramen I've had in awhile. If you're ever in the area especially after or before visiting the universal studios park let this be your additional/bonus destination :))

    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

We were stoked that it was at a new spot, and so close! We went on a Sunday afternoon. So it wasn't packed. Had a booth to ourselves. The decor inside was amazing.

But I will say I'm excited to go back because the cocktails are super delicious, AND they have daily happy hour (5-8pm if I'm not mistaken). Huge plus. The only negatives are the parking. Very little parking lot so that could be tough on a busy day. And the service was mid. There was one friendly bartender, and another one that just may have been having a rough day. But I didn't feel really welcomed or attended to. Rest of the staff was great!

    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.

Compared to other places to eat/drink in the park, this one was surprisingly good. The bar was themed for Stranger things, they were playing a stranger things soundtrack, and had a Stranger Things pinball machine. The Demogorgon pizza was kind of like a pepperoni Hot Pocket with a croissant crust. Maybe I was really hungry, but I really enjoyed this. Next was the Hellfire Club Pretzel. The pretzel was one of the better pretzels I've ever had. It was soft, warm, and covered with a hot cheetoes style breading. For drinks we tried all the specialty ones. The Surfer Boy was garbage. The Upside Down and the Mind Flayer were both delicious. We went back for Seconds, thirds, and fourths on the drinks. The Mind Flayer was the favorite, it came with dry ice so it bubbled, and had stringy licorice as a garnish. Definitely glad we found this bar, and the times we went practically had no wait.
