    Lisa was great! She was so patient and kind with my two young boys! They loved it here we will definitely be back!

    My family and I went to Forks for the first time this past weekend, and I really enjoyed the experience. One might say, you can make ramen at home. And, you can. But, we loved making ramen here! Super cute little shop with a huge variety of ramen, along with dumplings and things to put it in. Since it was our first time, they were super helpful in teaching us how to use the machines. They also had a variety of Japanese snacks on display, as well. We enjoyed looking through them all and choosing a few to taste.

    Obviously we can make ramen a lot cheaper at home ourselves, but this was such a unique concept that you don't see locally so we had to check it out!! There were TONS of ramen flavor options with a cooler full of toppings. The ladies who owned the place were very helpful at explaining the process and even helping you cook it. There is a gaming room in the back. There is limited seating (all high top) and the place stayed full. It was cool to see the ramen boil so fast in a paper bowl. The ramen was great and cool experience overall.

    My 9 year old and 12 year old visited here for the first time today, we ate all we wanted for 40, and we loved it! My son can't wait to come back to play in the PC room and eat dipping dots. Haha The ladies there were incredible kind and friendly and helped us a lot. Definitely would recommend! :)

    There is plenty of parking right by the restaurant. It is in the same plaza as 770 kbbq. There is a variety of ramen to pick from, toppings are more limited but there were over 10, there is also drinks and limited snacks. No alcoholic drinks. There is a PC gaming section in the back. I think k there were 8 computers. We did the the combo for 9.99, one ramen, 2 toppings and green onion, plus one drink. You can add premium toppings for an extra charge. There is also premium drinks that will cost an extra dollar. Ramen cooked super fast and was perfect, not too soft. The whole experience was unique and fun. Seating is more limited and I believe all high tops so might be hard for little kids. The owner was also really sweet, so please go support!

    Found out about this place through yelp. Really cool place! You pick out your ramen pack, you pick toppings, pay, and then you put all the contents into a bowl that works with their water boiler. The noodles i got were really good and my mom enjoyed hers too. The girl working there was very helpful and kind with explaining to us the process and helped us make our food. Everything was very nice and clean and organized as well. Also, they have a gaming room in the back with PCs! Really cool idea and we'll definitely be back!!

    A little cute place to go and make a ramen bowl. This is a unique idea. You choose what type of ramen noodle you want, which is packaged. You have the option of adding toppings. You place your ramen bowl on a little cooker and it cooks your ramen. My daughter and her friend loved it. The customer service was good and the accommodating.

    Great unique place if you're too lazy to make some ramen yourself at home. There are all kinds of ramen ( except Japanese ) to choose from and you can make it yourself after. The ladies there were nice so they helped my sons help make theirs. They also have PCs in the back for $6 an hour to play games. I would give them a 5 star but the price is little bit too high. I didn't even see the price- I think it's about $7/ramen- pretty steep. I would comeback again cause ramen and gaming is my 7 year olds dream lol.

    Very friendly staff, was a cool experience overall, the ramen was really good! i never added dumplings to my ramen and the staff suggested that i try it and i loved it. they also played lots of BTS while i was there so that was cool

    Almost done

    This was a great experience. I brought my kids with. They have every type of ramen I could think of to include flavors anything from beef, chicken, vegetable. Spicy to none spicy flavors. It was our first time there, the owner did an amazing job at explaining everything and walking us through the process. It starts off with a base price and certain things are add-ons which is clearly listed. It adds up quick and can get pricey but you will be full and fulfilled when you are done. They have a variety of drinks options to include canned boboa tea options. We did not stay to game but it was setup and ready if we needed it.

    I recently tried visiting but the location was closed for two weeks due to "internal issues". Can someone confirm if the restaurant is actually open so another drive is not wasted? Super inconvenient to not have notices online...

    We are open everyday 11:00 am to 10:00 pm. Thank you.

    We have not been on the south side of 85 in a while. Driving thru we saw many possible lunch…read morechoices. 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!

I could have 2 of these and called it a day. 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.

    My friends and I have fond memories of this place, and it's still just as good as before. The…read morerestaurant is warm, and with all the wood, makes for like a cozy cabin or an older house kind of vibe. It completely fits with the nostalgia we were feeling and hanging out with each other again. Service was efficient, and we were easily able to converse with each other. The food is pretty heavy what with it being fried and mostly carbs, but the kimchi and pickled radish help cut the greasiness of it. One of the standout things about this place is that they have DonPas. When we first heard of it, we though it would be fun to get. The donkatsu used for it is thin and fried well. The pork wasn't dry at all, and it was able to hold the pasta and its sauce while remaining crunchy though you definitely should eat it before the sauce truly sets in and changes the texture. For the pasta portion, we went with carbonara pasta, and it was good! Creamy and paired pretty well with donkatsu, which normally has a different type of sauce with it. We also got the UFO fried rice to share. It was filling, and I highly recommend it with egg, cheese, and corn over sauce. That being said, not a fan of the lot to get here. It's got a bit of an decline/incline, not the worst I've experienced, but still something that I took note of. At least my car didn't hit the ground with a scratch like another place I've been to. Leaving can be difficult if it's a busy time with lots of cars, but it's not too bad... I just know I'm not the best driver.

    Hidden all the way at the end, lies Poetree. Inside, it's a cute and warm place with cabin/forest-y…read morevibes. We went fairly early and were seating immediately. Lots to choose from the menu and our food came out quickly. We both got the Donpas, a combo of donkatsu and pasta. Portions were HUGE and lasted me 2 meals! Not to mention, food was super flavorful and freshly made. Weeks later, I am still craving more. Please go here!
