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
by
Mason.
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.
The
balance
of
the
spicy
with
the
crispiness
of
the
tempura
and
flavor
of
the
shrimp
was
really
nice.
Shortly
after
beginning
to
enjoy
my
shrimp,
my
ramen
arrived.
I
like
how
each
person
I
encountered
seemed
so
glad
to
be
there.
I
must
say,
it
was
refreshing.
The
Spicy
Creamy
Ramen
was
simply
beautiful
and
smelled
amazing.
Mason
showed
me
how
to
use
my
chop
sticks
and
spoon
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
to
my
last
was
absolutely
scrumptious.
And
the
sweetest
thing
—
there
was
a
cute
little
message
at
the
bottom
of
the
bowl…”No
Ramen.
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
visit
Mason
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
Corn
was
sweet
corn
sliced
off
of
the
cob
with
the
kick
of
fresh
jalapeño.
Loved
this!
The
Crispy
Chicken
was
really
good.
Crispy
on
the
outside
and
tender
on
the
inside.
The
Sautéed
Broccolini
was
tasty.
It
was
not
over
cooked
and
had
a
slight
crunch
o
the
stalk.
Great
flavors
and
very
fresh-tasting.
The
Caramelized
Cauliflower
was
my
favorite
of
today.
The
pine
nuts
and
garlic
really
set
this
off.
You
just
have
to
taste
it.
My
bartender
today
was
the
amazing
Dillon!
Truly
a
sweetheart
and
super
patient
as
I
attempted
to
try
their
whole
menu.
Stay
tuned
for
my
next
Jinya
adventure…again,
if
you
love
great
service,
great
food,
great
conversation,
you
know
where
to
go—
Jinya
Ramen
Bar
for
the
win!
