Met a girlfriend for lunch. She nor I had been here before. The food was excellent! We each ordered a ramen bowl and they each came with a choice of appetizer. We ordered the tempura shrimp and garlic chicken wings. We shared each others appetizers. Then the ramen bowl came! We were already full from the appetizers and thought we would have to take the bowl home but upon tasting it, we couldn't stop eating it. It was so delicious! We did end up taking half of it home. Amy, our server was very friendly and helpful in helping us decide on our order. She came to our table to make sure we were satisfied with our choices a few times. She is very knowledgeable about the menu. The restaurant itself is nicely decorated. We enjoyed our food and company as we had not seen each other for almost a year. Amy did not rush us out . She was very pleasant. Sometimes the servers are what makes a dining experience special and Amy did that! I would definitely return to this restaurant. read more

Fairly decent ramen for being out of the city and being one of the few real Asian noodle options around. Nice ambiance and attentive service. Generous portions for the price and scratches the itch, but nothing super memorable in terms of broth and noodles. Chashu is a bit dry, ramen eggs were perfectly jammy but on the sweeter side, and they use sun noodles for most ramen dishes. read more

Good spot I grabbed to go from last night. Never had takeout ramen before and their bowl system is pretty ingenious keeping noodles and toppings separate from the broth until you're home. Taste was very good for their house ramen, broth was rich in flavor, egg was done well. My main complaint was the pork chashu as it was tough as shoe leather. Really a disappointment considering how good everything else was. I also combo'd the ramen with the takoyaki which was ok, but not overly spectacular. I did get the chicken breast and thigh yakitori and both of those were legit, tender and great flavor. Would def try again if in the area, as I'll take the chashu snafu as a one off. read more

Super delicious and super consistent. Always order the spicy ramen with a side of shrimp tempura and it never disappoints! I always very much look forward to ordering from here because it's just spectacular read more

Visited for the 1st time yesterday and had a great visit. Our server was friendly and attentive! Love the combo option for ramen and an appetizer for $22! All three of us tried a different ramen and we all enjoyed. We also got two combos and tried the gyoza and wings - yum! Wings could use a tad more sauce but the crispiness was spot on! Portions of ramen were good for the price. Place was super clean and well decorated. Has a mix of tables and booths. Will definitely be back when in the area! read more

The young woman working the front desk tonight on Christmas was very kind and did a very good job under lots of pressure and stress.

Getting a dedicated ramen shop in this area is a godsend to fans of the dish. In addition to a line of decent noodle options there are a handful of appetizers that add a little color and additional flavor to the menu. In my three trips here I haven't found the bubble tea to be worth writing home about, but the chicken wings surprised me. The convenient location and chic approach to the ramen shop makes this an underpapreciated asset to the area. My hope is more people become aware of the perks of not having to drive two or more hours to scratch a craving for classic ramen. read more

Nice casual Japanese restaurant with an upbeat atmosphere. It was nice touch with the traditional Japanese welcome. The menu had a variety of ramen, sushi tacos (seaweed wrap) and flavored boba teas. We got the spicy ramen, takoyaki and shrimp tempura ramen. Food was delicious and the service was quick and very courteous. Surprisingly fast for a sit down restaurant. We will definitely return next time we pass by Wilkes Barre, PA. read more

Delicious and quick service! The restaurant was nice to look at and service was super quick. Prices were very nice for a lunch special.

The food at kinya ramen did not disappoint. My fiancé took me here for my birthday and we enjoyed wayyyy too many things. We had gotten the garlic soy wings which were crunchy and well seasoned. We decided to try the takoyaki which were umami bombs! We finished off the meal with ramen, I got the wonton ramen and it was just absolutely phenomenal while my other half had the creamy tonkatsu ramen. I would highly recommend kinya ramen, the service was also great with a great atmosphere to dine in. read more

NIce little place when we visited friends on the area. Good ramen too! its has great selections of japanese food, perfect for the cold weather. The design interior is very nice and cute as well, reminds you of the cherry blossoms in japan. would love to come back next time when in the area read more

I really wanted to try this place. So a friend and I stopped by on a Wednesday evening. We were seated immediately but seemed to wait a little longer than expected for someone to come over to acknowledge us. A very friendly young lady approached us and took our drink order. we decided on some appetizers - the shrimp tempura and garlic soy wings. The shrimp tempura was your typical frozen in a box shrimp but had a good flavor. the soy garlic wings had a delicious marinade that seemed to be a little overdone. I ordered the spicy ramen minus the fish cake. The broth was very flavourful. the egg looked a little questionable (the color was weird), so my friend and I both removed ours. I've had ramen in New York City and the eggs were white, So I know this is not typical. Or at least should not be. Overall, I was a little underwhelmed, and this is probably one and done for me. read more

My boyfriend and I went here on a whim while out shopping and it was phenomenal. I don't normally write reviews but I felt like I had to here. Service was super fast and considerate, our waitress (Maya) even asked me if I wanted more spicy chili paste for my ramen . Ambience was a 10:10. They decorated the place from top to bottom. A pretty good place to get some photos or go on a first date. Prices were pretty decent too because they have a ramen + appetizer combo that was $22. It was a lot of good too I had to take some home despite my trash can boyfriend. Things we got: Takoyaki: crunchy, soft, creamy, and well seasoned 10/10. I'm from Philly and get takoyaki at every establishment and this was probably the best takoyaki I've ever had. Pork bao buns: I'm not a pork bun person but it was pretty decent. Boyfriend said it was a 9.5/10 (he wanted more sauce) Chicken tender skewer: 10/10, thought it was gonna be dry but it was super juicy. Spicy Ramen: 10/10. It was spicy, broth was thick and full of flavor but not so thick that it was too much. Noodles were the perfect amount of juicy. The pork was thinly cut (which I personally like) and had a smoky flavor The first ramen on the menu (BF didn't remember the name ‍): 9.5/10 "it was good and tasty and fragrant" Passion fruit green tea: 10/10 we got it with 50% sugar and my bf drank most of it ‍‍‍ read more

Great presentation but i didn't care for the broth. those complaining about the egg, that's how it is supposed to be. it is marinated in soy sauce. Not my favorite. not busy on a friday night. there was more takeout than people eating at tables. not my favorite ramen place. read more

What's up their food crew! Today I am going outside the box. I never knew the many dishes you can do with ramen noodles. Now I cannot even say the name of the plate I got; I did do their wings as an appetizer. The wings had a nice crisp taste to them, they had a soy flavor type of taste. I really enjoyed them. Now my bowl came out and as you can see by the video it was a nice size. It had what look liked pork, the ramen, what looked like avocado. along with the broth. I wish I knew all the ingredients, but I do not. I do know this was very delicious and also, I know the GF would not really like this. The staff was welcoming, and my server knew the menu back and forth. Definitely recommend this restaurant. Until next time be blessed and stay safe everyone.

If you're looking for good ramen, this is not the place. I ordered the pork ramen. It was absolutely terrible! Certainly not up to the standards I expect but, I lived in both Korea and Japan in my youth. That's the standard I measure Asian food by. Now, the real kicker is - it just didn't sit right and, about an hour later, I got sick and emptied my stomach. I immediately felt relief. I don't know which part of the ramen was bad (broth, pork, egg, or add-ins) but, I'm not going through that again. I'd rather get shin ramen or something from a local Asian market and do it myself. I will say the service was excellent and the dining area appeared neat and clean. Really, find another place. Even Tangs does a better job and you won't get sick. read more

This was our first visit and overall we had a great experience. The ambiance was aesthetically pleasing with a mural of Japanese art, and food. The center of the ceiling had beautiful floral decoration. Our waitress was very nice and attentive. Overall service was great, you are greeted by the employees as soon as you walk in. We had 3 different kinds of ramen; the Kinya, the Tonkotsu, and the Chintan. We also had the Pork Chashu bowl. Everything was delicious and flavorful. The Kinya ramen had a gold leaf on top, so beautiful. If you like ramen or a good rice bowl, I recommend you try Kinya. Oh, the Pork Buns are a must try!! read more

This is my second time here and it was still delicious. We ordered a little bit of everything again with different items. This is the second time ordering the tacos and I don't think we would get them again. The salmon avocado taco - the fish was poor quality and the avocado was more like a sad attempt at guacamole with a unappealing limey flavor that did not compliment the fish. Everything else tasted good and the ramen was just as good as the last time. The waitresses were attentive and checked on us often, but the kitchen seemed to be behind. It took a while to get our appetizers and the ramen even came out before even as we spread out the orders for that reason. read more

This is definitely my new favorite place in Wilkes-Barre! I got one of the spicy ramen bowls and it was perfect and full of flavor. The spice level was good and blended well with all the ingredients/toppings. I got a cold passion fruit tea which was delicious as well.

The service is outstanding. We got greeted right away, the gentalman was super nice and explain the menu to us. Plenty of parking.

Absolutely amazing ramen and the take out containers are practical and thoughtful. The milk tea is great too.

The broth noodle very thick, yuck The noodle not soft, firm which is good. The price expensive for a bowl noodle for 17.00 only ad 3 small shrimp fried call tempura. They ad half cold egg (why cold) The drink a small bottle apple juice $ 3,00 We eat 2 people for 2 bowl noodle with the tip cost $ 40,00 I will say to much for 2 bowl portion for that price. And the portion not even big. Never coming back again, enough first and the last. read more

We came for dinner to try out this new spot and 10 out of 10 would recommend. Great ambience, great service, and great food. Maybe the best part is the ramen and appetizer deal for just $22.

Wish there was a zero star I watched as kitchen staff went to the bathroom with their black gloves on came out the same gloves and continued to cook in the kitchen how disgusting you could get e-coli I would never eat there again and the way they treat their staff is disgusting rude and not very polite the one waitress I believe her name is Skyler was very rude not attentive could give a care less about the table I don't even know why you're waitress read more

Absolutely the best ramen I have ever had. Spicy bowl 5 star. Dumpling 5 star. Green tea mochi 4 star. They put chocolate syrup on them. Masked the great green tea flavor. Service was snappy. Place looked great. If it was my place, I would get a temporary wall or shade to hide some of the back end stuff outside the kitchen. read more

Service was great. Period! I have had ramen many times and I was extremely disappointed here. Even though I have friends who really liked the spicy Ramen, I tried the Kantsu. It was completely flavorless. It was supposed to be a pork broth but it was flat to the point I had to ask for soy sauce. My friends also said their meals were flavorless also. At the prices, I doubt if I will visit again because it is not worth another failure. Please note I usually never write a negative review without giving a restaurant at least 3 tries but I keep hearing negative feedback about the restaurant. read more

Went into Kinya during their opening week and have already been back! Got the wonton ramen with pork buns the first time and the tonkotsu ramen with gyoza this most recent time. All I can say is, WOW! So delicious! The pork buns were amazing, and I preferred the tonkotsu ramen because their pork is just so so tasty. It is on the expensive side, but I knew that before I got there. And you are paying for quality! As well as huge portions! My meal at Kinya was the only meal I had all day and I was very satisfied! Great food, very cute and calming interior, and I loved being greeted by all of the staff when I came in :) great for date night! It's so nice to have a ramen place in the valley! read more
