So, I can only vouch for my experience eating Japanese food to state that the tsukemen at Okiboru is just like what I have eaten in Japan, specifically the Kansai region. Being that I prefer tsukemen over ramen, dipping sauce over soup, over the years, I have definitely eaten my fair share of this type of noodle. The broth is a thick gravy that is meaty and dashi-rich at the same time. Not too salty, although slightly bitter at times. What really stands out at Okiboru is their thick and toothsome tsukemen noodles. The texture of these noodles alone keeps me returning. QR code menu and friendly service. Bar style atmosphere at this location. So nice to have an authentic tsukemen shop at the mall. I like to stop by before seeing a movie.

Now that that is out of the way...... The food was excellent! We enjoyed the ginger salads. Fresh and tasty and very reasonably priced. All the menu items are reasonably priced. We also shared potstickers that were just ok, and we shared one bowl with steak and shrimp on top of fried rice. The rice was delicious. The portions of steak and shrimp were very generous with vegetables too. We were stuffed. Next time I will skip the potstickers. Didn't need them. The one bowl was more than enough for the two of us. I'm definitely going back. And soon! If it was a sit down restaurant it would have gotten 5 stars for sure.

Megan wanted a dining room meal not fast foo, so we picked Jinya based on my experience at the Athens location. It was a good choice! There are many restaurants in this plaza, so there is plenty of good parking. We were in after 1pm so the lunch crowd was mostly gone. The restaurant has the somewhat standard contemporary asian restaurant look. We were quickly seated at a window table. The menu is small but has what you want for a ramen restaurant. I ordered the original tonkotsu with crispy chicken topping. Megan ordered the chicken ramen. The order arrived quickly at our table along with some additional sauces. My ramen was outstanding. The pork slices were tender and delicious. I don't know how they flavor that egg but it is good! The broth was tasty but aggressively salted. The chicken topping was just the over the top thing I like. Megan liked her chicken ramen quite a bit, so much so she ate it all, not bring anything home. Yes I would come back next time I am hungry in the area. It was $47 plus tip including soft drinks. Seems to be an extensive bar here too if you are looking for that. Hey if you are across 85 at Costco thinking about lunch, come over here! Even if you don't come to Jinya there are better choices here that you might miss if you stay over there!

Delish. I had the flying harvest veggie Ramen. Asked for it a little spicy and added hot sauce. It's got to be one of my favs. Again the broth is a little muddy for me and there are ramen place with a cleaner broth but very tasty. Love the broccolini and all the veggies. The raw onions are a bit much but good. I do like this place but again a bit pricey. For ramen and buns. But something you don't see often, cleaning. Owning a restaurant is 90% cleaning and 10% cooking. I know cuz we used to own a restaurant.

Looking around, they have K-POP (not demon hunters) music playing on a tv and another playing sports. The tables have a glossy marble finish. Some of the walls are bare rock, the others are a smooth finish. When I had gotten my Sashimi and Nigiri it was put on a fancy plate with little white thingys and lemon, ginger, and a flower. Eating the sashimi was amazing; it was cold and soft. It had a nice pink-red color and was very nice to eat. When I had tried the Nigiri, the salmon and rice was warm, with the salmon being soft, like the sashimi. TL;DR: Service was great, Ambience was great, and the food was served with glory and deliciousness. Overall a 5 star Japanese/Korean restaurant. Would recommend.

Perfect dessert to end meal. LYCHEE BOBA - absolutely excellent, wanted to order another. Everything was just delish. Hit all the right notes. Unbelievable fast food service. Good. Very cool interior with their hexagonal design booths and wood interior. Cute accents of Japanese culture with their wishing tree and swing and huge bell.

They aren't just great at their job they get to know you by name, care about you as a person and spark up real conversations that aren't the same "how's things going?" Now, let's talk about the food. I've had sushi on 3 continents and this is hands done some of the best you will ever experience. Everything is fresh, prepared on the spot. Vast amounts of attention are put into the presentations making this one of my family's favorite spots. The only thing I could honestly think of that's negative is the front door (lol). Something about where they are located in the plaza creates a vacuum on that door from time to time and you really have to yank on the door to get it open, but I would gladly bring a crowbar for this food. See for yourself, you won't be disappointed!

Its a superd item to pick at while waiting for the orders to arrive. Make sure you dip it in that ultra garlicky mayo. Because with the sauce its a 9.3/10 * Pork Bao Buns - Porky flavor is present. Mayo for creaminess and cucumber for a refreshing finish. 8/10 * Gyoza - Its super crunchy. Flavors are spot on. It's somewhat mid but over all not a bad gyoza. 7.5/10 * Spicy Tonkotsu Ramen - Wonderful, the noodles are perfecf, broth exceptional, the pork melts in your mouth and the jammy egg is a jammy egg.
