Day 1: This place was a welcome surprise. I was looking for a late lunch. I walked in and just before seating me, the hostess... yells what sounds like ?earshay? and everyone else says it, too! Cool welcome?I sat at the bar and was immediately greeted byMason. I asked what I should try as a first timer. He recommended the Spicy Creamy Vegan and the Spicy Creamy Shrimp Tempura. The Spicy Creamy Vegan Shrimp Tempura reminded me of a Bang Bang Shrimp, but these were huge and a lot more flavorful. Thebalance of the spicy with the crispiness of the tempura and flavor of the shrimp was really nice. Shortly after beginning toenjoy my shrimp, my ramen arrived. I like how each person I encountered seemed so glad to be there. I must say, it wasrefreshing. The Spicy Creamy Ramen was simply beautiful and smelled amazing. Mason showed me how to use my chop sticks andspoon to lift the ramen from the bottom of the bowl to mix it and even out the temperature of the dish. From my first bite tomy last was absolutely scrumptious. And the sweetest thing ? there was a cute little message at the bottom of the bowl??NoRamen. No Life.? But that?s not all. When you leave, they yell something that sounds like ?airigotto?. I have to warn you: The portions are extremely filling. If you want a great time, with great people, and great food, you absolutely must visitMason at the bar at Jinya! Day 2: I came back and got the Jalapeño Buttered Corn, Crispy Chicken, Sautéed Broccolini,Caramelized Cauliflower, Spicy Creamy Shrimp Tempura (again), and Spicy Creamy Vegan Ramen (again). The Jalapeño Buttered Cornwas sweet corn sliced off of the cob with the kick of fresh jalapeño. Loved this! The Crispy Chicken was really good. Crispyon the outside and tender on the inside. The Sautéed Broccolini was tasty. It was not over cooked and had a slight crunch o thestalk. Great flavors and very fresh-tasting. The Caramelized Cauliflower was my favorite of today. The pine nuts and gar Read more
This Jinya location is veryyyy small compared to others so be prepared to be on their waitlist if you go during peak times... (lunch/dinner hours). I do like how they still seat you even though your entire party isn?t there yet. Some places do not seatyou until everyone is there. I highly recommend eating the Jinya pork bun, takoyaki (presentation is beautiful but more batterthan octopus which kinda sucks, still decent to eat though!), spicy chicken ramen, tonkotsu black ramen, tonkotsu spicy ramen,and salmon poke mini tacos. I suggest adding green onions, corn, bamboo shoots, nori, and an egg to your ramen! Service ispretty good especially for a place consistently steady from open to close. The ramen broth is kind of salty compared to otherlocations, and they are out of stuff more frequent than usual so be careful with that. Other than those factors, this is arelatively good Jinya location! Read more
Food was good, but we went on a Wednesday and they were out of several items--wontons, seaweed salads and crispy rice. Also,... the music was loud enough that normal conversations across the table were difficult (I get it, I'm old, but save that volume forclubs). Service was very responsive and the pork was super tasty. Read more
Found this place in a pinch after a late arrival into town. Got on their waitlist on the way there and was promptly seated.... Food was amazing server was awesome. Very reasonably priced. We both ate the Flying Harvest. Read more
The atmosphere of the restaurant is really great. The staff are also very nice and friendly. I have not had much of that cuisine... before and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The food did take fairly long and I did notice it taking long for people around me. It isalso normally very busy especially on the weekends. People do happen to be curious about restroom situations so here is my takeon it. It was so dark in the restroom. It was clean and well kept but just really dark. The last thing I have to say about thisis that the faucet of the sink it so close to the counter, you can barely get your hands wet to wash them. Overall I think thiswas a great place and I strongly recommend. Read more
Jinya was outstanding! After shopping through Perkins Rowe we definitely were hungry and decided to stop in. We were promptly... seated and greeted by our waitress. Unfortunately, I don?t remember her name but she made the whole experience even moreawesome. The food was all so fresh and flavorful. Inside the restaurant is beautiful and it resembles ramen bars in S Korea andJapan. Just writing this review is making me hungry!! Prices were very reasonable for the portions. Four appetizers, two bowlsof ramen, two desserts and two drinks came to be just under $100. You can?t beat that for the quality of food and service wewere given. Can?t wait to come back Read more
Dynesha is a very great server. She knew the menu and offered advice on things to try. The food was hot and the drinks were... cold. I will be back. I hope to have her as my server on the next visit. Read more
