We recently visited Kinya for the first time, and it was an outstanding experience from start to finish. From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel welcome and were incredibly pleasant. Devyn, our server, was especially helpful--he quickly answered all our questions about the menu and offered great suggestions. Mavis, who also checked in on us throughout our meal, was attentive and ensured we were enjoying our time. The food itself was a highlight. The Soy Garlic wings were the standout for us--they were crispy, flavorful, and perfectly balanced in seasoning. My son absolutely loved his Kinya brown sugar milk tea, which was sweet, smooth, and refreshing. The prices were more than reasonable, especially considering the quality and portion sizes, and despite the food being made to order, everything came out quickly. We also tried the spicy ramen and shrimp tempura, and both were exceptional. The ramen had the perfect level of heat and depth of flavor, while the tempura was light and crispy, with the perfect crunch. The taste at Kinya really sets it apart from your typical ramen spots. Overall, Kinya impressed us with both the food and the service. We will definitely be returning for another round of delicious dishes. read more

First time coming here yesterday due to my friend's recommendation. Atmosphere was very nice, if you can get a booth please do it, it's welcoming and feels a bit private (if that makes sense). Service was phenomenal, the waiter checked on us just enough but not too much where it would be bothersome. The manager would come check on us as well so it seems they care a lot of customer satisfaction. The garlic soy wings are PHENOMENAL, the bubble tea is good and fairly priced for the amount you get. The ramen was good, not the best I ever had (I've been to many ramen locations) but definitely worth trying to make your own judgement. I do like how customizable you can make your ramen. Important note for vegans: the noodles are made with eggs as well as the rolls, according to our waiter, so even if you were to get the veggie ramen, it is not fully vegan. All that aside, highly recommend to come out and try his place out. I would definitely come back with friends for them to try the ramen but I'll be getting two orders of those wings and bubble the again. Can't stress enough how well the service is and that will have me keep coming back. read more

Ambiance: 5/5 | Service: 5/5 | Food: 5/5 The menu here is wonderfully innovative, featuring combination curated packages that allow you to sample a diverse variety of dishes. The inari sushi was a completely different experience from traditional sushi, with each piece being substantial, requiring at least three bites to finish. The ramen was equally spectacular, boasting a rich, deeply comforting broth that you just want to slurp away. While the beverage selection was incredibly tempting and well-crafted, the only disappointment was the lack of an alcohol menu. The service was nothing short of exemplary. From start to finish, the pacing was flawless with virtually no wait times. Both our server and the manager visited our table multiple times, genuinely checking on our dining experience and seeking constructive feedback for every course delivered. It is rare to see this level of attentive, proactive hospitality. The decor is stunningly curated and highly aesthetic, creating a beautiful backdrop for a meal. Between the stellar service, beautiful atmosphere, and creative menu, this establishment is an absolute must-visit. read more

After months of waiting for this spot to open, I finally got try it out and I was not disappointed. The environment exceeded my expectations for a ramen house. It was chic and sleek, with house music playing at a very respectable volume. The food was amazing. I loved everything (kinya ramen, edamame, pork buns, and gyoza). I was with my bf, please don't think I ate all of that alone. lol. The staff was also friendly. Devyn was our server and he was super attentive and offered us some home made chili paste to add to our ramen without being prompted to do so. Before I sign off I must add that the ramen was super flavorful and you should definitely try it if you visit. I dont have much photos to share because the food looked so good when it arrived that I had to eat it immediately. But what I will share is a photo of my poor edamame pods (so good). read more

This will be our 3rd visit at Kinya Ramen. Thank you to Nico for being so courteous, friendly and accommodating. He made sure we received all our orders correctly. He's always checking on us if we need anything. I highly recommend him for being a great server. We enjoyed the Unagi Don, Chicken Katsu Curry Don, Soy Garlic Wings and crispy fries. The Kinya Brown Sugar Milk tea and Passion fruit yogurt drink are a MUST TRY. Everything taste delicious! We really appreciate the manager who arranged the surprise bday for me (Awesome staff, great ambiance, smiling and singing for me... served mochi ice cream with candle sparkler). We always feel special at Kinya restaurant but today it's EXTRA special!! read more

I tried Kinya Ramen, and it was honestly so good that I'm still thinking about it. The beef ramen really stood out to me. The broth was rich and flavorful, and the meat was tender and perfectly cooked, making every bite feel comforting and satisfying. The noodles had a great texture too, not too soft but not too firm. On top of that, their dumplings were amazing, with a crispy outside and a juicy, well seasoned filling that paired perfectly with the dipping sauce, The cherry on top was the service! Our server Rell was AMAZING, quick responses and such a friendly manner. Everything I tried there tasted fresh and full of flavor, and it's definitely a place I'd want to go back to again and again! read more

Kinya is an absolute gem! The food was incredible--every bite felt like a flavor-packed experience. The shrimp tempura was fried to perfection, light and crispy, while the soy garlic chicken wings had just the right balance of softness and crunch. The ramen? Easily one of the most flavorful bowls I've ever had. The atmosphere was vibrant and welcoming, and the host made the experience even better. The wait was a bit longer than expected (about 30-40 minutes), but once we were seated, the manager and owner personally came over to apologize for the delay, which showed a great level of care for their customers. This is definitely a must-try spot and one I'll be adding to my list of favorites! read more

Was here for the soft opening and it was absolutely amazing. I've never had a sushi taco before and it was indisputably delicious, very fresh salmon even in the 8PM hour when we showed up. I think our waiter's name was Devyn, he was very quick to help us out and made sure everything was ship shape. Had the beef ramen and a coconut brown sugar boba as well, the ramen was really, really good. the Boba is my first, never had one before and I don't have anything to base the taste off of, but it too, is delicious. All in all I left with a full stomach and wanting more. Can't believe I could find something like this close to home! read more

First of all, I have been dying to try this new spot since it's in my area but let me just say, the customer service from the moment I arrived through the door to the moment I left was outstanding! Major shout out to Devyn who was my waiter and was so pleasant and accommodating through and through. The ambience and overall design of this space is to die for! And DO NOT not get me started on the food! I had the veggie ramen and garlic wings and I was not disappointed to say the least. I came here for my lunch break and left feeling so satisfied and content. I will most definitely be back to try something new :) read more

We were googling ramen places on a whim and came across Kinya so we decided to give it a try. We are so glad we did!! The decor is very cute and they greet you with a traditional Japanese greeting. Our server Elvia was very attentive and great at explaining the menu. We ordered a taro bubble tea less sweet and it was perfect with the chewy boba. We got toro scallion tacos which surprised us with the freshness of the fish. The tonkotsu ramen was creamy, rich, and not too salty. The yakitori combo had a great flavor and our favorite was the bacon shrimp. We will definitely be making Kinya one of our staples!! read more

Food here is excellent! All the ramen options were really good. We ordered two taichi ramen combos which let us pick 4 different ramens to try. We had the kinya ramen, curry ramen, wonton ramen and spicy chicken ramen. All of them were wonderful and the broth was tasty and rich in flavor. The combo included an appetizer as well. We got the soy garlic wings and shrimp tempura. Both were really good. Also ask for Johnny too, he really is the best and gave us great recommendations. He was also really helpful and kind. A+ service! The ambiance was nice and the atmosphere was suitable for my family of 4. read more

What we had: - Kinya Ramen Pork --that broth was a blast of straight pork collagen to the face and I say that with pleasure, umami bomb - Chicken Thigh and Steak Skewers --well seasoned, the sauce didn't overpower the protein but provided a nice light accent--only thing I would adjust is making the steak medium rare (or atleast provide option) - Chicken Wings --similar to the chicken thigh Service wise Imani did a great job hosting us, checking in with us periodically and ensuring our experience was smooth. The decor and vibe are also pretty fresh. Definitely want to come again. read more

I recently visited Kinya in Linden, and I have to say--it was an incredible experience! The restaurant has such a charming and cozy vibe that makes you feel right at home. We started with the pork gyoza, which was perfectly crispy on the outside and tender inside--so flavorful. We also had a sushi roll that was fresh and delicious. For the main dish, I tried the spicy ramen, and it hit the spot with just the right balance of heat and flavor. The service was top-notch, thanks to Devyn who was attentive and friendly. I'm already looking forward to my next visit--highly recommend! read more

Came to try this place out after a friend recommended it. Looked it up on social media and it looked great. Happy to report that this place lives up to the photos. The food looks and TASTES incredible. Everything I ordered was great. My server Chi was so sweet and very attentive. The ambiance is great too. I came on a solo date and it was nothing short of amazing. I had the shrimp tempura was crunchy and so delicious. The beef ramen I got was so flavorful literally the best ramen I have ever had in my life. And the boba was so good too! Will deff be back. read more

First off, the ambience is so cute. We sat at booth , which I preferred. Our server Johnny was great. He explained the menu in great detail and was attentive during our time there. Made it a little more private. I got the veggie ramen and gyoza as part of the ramen combo. They were both really good. The table has chilli oil and shichimi to up the spice level of the ramen . I recommend pairing the ramen with their mocktails. They have a tropical glow fizz which has passion fruit, mango, and yuzu. It was so refreshing and delightful. read more

Kinya never disappoints! The food was absolutely amazing, and our waiter, Devyn, provided excellent service. The atmosphere was comfortable -- it wasn't too crowded, and the space is well-sized, so you don't feel like you're sitting on top of other guests. They had great music playing, and there's even a dessert section. If you're into a more interactive experience, you can sit at the bar counter right where the food is prepared. I'm so glad this new location opened in the area and will definitely be back! read more

Kinya is my forever happy place. The food ambiance is always an amazing vibe. The service and attention to detail of the staff from the moment you enter into the moment you leave is heart warming. Rell was our server this time and he really took care of all requests nd questions I had. Fast, efficient and so knowledgeable I can't talk enough about the wonderful employees they hire here. He went above and beyond and we thank him for all that he did to make our experience as great as our first time. read more

What can I say, I loved everything here from the moment we walked in! We were greeted with smiles and a round of a Japanese saying that I can't remember but enjoyed. For a Saturday evening, we were sat very quickly with no reservations. The ambiance was exciting without being too loud or obnoxious. It's a vibe! Our server was wonderful! We each got the Kinya Combo offer which includes: 1 Boba drink, 1 sushi taco and 1 ramen! We also ordered a pork bun appetizer. Everything was delicious! read more

Kinya Ramen is a cozy spot that offers a delightful selection of ramen. The ambiance is warm and inviting, perfect for both intimate dinners and larger gatherings. I enjoyed the signature Kinya Ramen, featuring rich broth, perfectly chewy noodles, and generous toppings like chashu pork and a soft-boiled egg. The service was friendly and attentive, making for an overall satisfying dining experience. If you're craving a comforting bowl of ramen, Kinya Ramen is definitely worth a visit! read more
