    This was my first time having ramen, and I loved it! Did a lot of research for a good ramen place, and this was definitely worth the drive. I got the Jinya chicken ramen, with half noodles, extra bean sprouts, broccoli and brussels sprouts; It was so smooth and perfect. The broth was soft and light and perfectly tasty. Chicken was perfectly cooked and I didn't even realize how quickly I finished it. My fiance got the spicy chicken ramen and had it on broccoli. He loved that as well! The broth was a really good and spicy and it had quite a different flavor from the simple chicken ramen but I would have definitely gone for either of them. They were both so good. Another one of our favorites was the seaweed salad! That seaweed part on top went so perfectly with the mixed greens. It was amazing! We also ordered another side house salad and had the extra seaweed with these greens too. I would recommend having the seaweed with these greens instead of the actual dressing that it comes with. For the appetizer we got the caramelized cauliflower. I wasn't too big a fan of this one. Cauliflower was cooked but it was very very oily! I pressed out the oil with paper towels but there was still so much more. There was also no mint on the plate. I wouldn't order this again. We ended the meal with two Jinya buns! The book and they was perfectly soft and amazing! A lot of fat in the piece that I got, so I took the fat out and had the meat and the bun. I was hoping there would be more mixed greens in there from what the description had and I only got one leaf of spinach. Even that plain sauce from the meat along with the bun tasted good. Overall definitely recommend this place!

    Excellent place to have food. Absolutely no complains! (Living in the east coast US with lots of mixed races and cusines, you can feel like Nebraska is in the middle is no where and that the food would be catered toa specific demographic.) This is not the case, this place is as authentic and delicious as any place around the world. Worth a stop in you like Ramen!

    We’re welcomed by a lovely host & seated us right away! If you’re not certain what to order, go to their website, look at their menu & you’ll see all the photos there. All the pictures are really helpful! We ordered takoyaki (*chef kiss*), bun, Jinya Tonkatsu Black, & Tonkatsu spicy. I personally like β€œJinya Tonkatsu Black a lot! The thin noodle & their broth just go really well together! Strongly recommend!

    Came here to Omaha for 1 day and saw they had salmon tacos, which is why I came here but unfortunately that was the only item on their menu they were out of stock on. Nooooo!! Anyway...I ordered Takoyaki instead and my husband ordered the Ramen. Takoyaki was decent; wasn't very saucy, octopus was a little chewy but the balls were perfectly crispy and tasted savory. Didn't really enjoy the slaw on the bottom. Could use a little more sauce! Ramen was good! Just not his palate. That's on him, not them. It's pretty cool you can DIY your ramen. The eggs were delightful. Lastly the dessert was so good. I got the Panna Cotta. It was so creamy and the icecream + Graham bits make it so decadent!! Overall it was a pretty decent experience, nice ambience and staff.

    The food was really good and beautifully presented! Even better was the staff. Very welcoming and informative. A huge shout out to Brian for walking us through the process and having a really sweet and humble personality.

    My boyfriend and I have been going here for over a year, it is fast paced, even if there are lots of people. You get your food, drinks, delicious food always. I once had my card declined and had to cashapp one of the servers because my card wasn't working. I'm so glad they understood but I felt so bad that they had to go through that. The crispy chicken is ALWAYS a go to for us, can't go wrong there. Atmosphere is great, you can get recognized by the staff if you're more of a regular. It is great for a date night for sure, can't wait to go again!!

    Hadn't been here in a while and decided to give it another try. Still was not very impressed. This location just feels very cramped, like people are going to bump into you walking by. The food is decent. I've had plenty of ramen, and the broth is good. Toppings are interesting. Price is high, I just don't think it's worth it for what you get. Our server was nice but not very attentive. Don't think we'll be coming back, unfortunately.

    First time here and the food was amazing! We wanted to try some traditional Japanese Ramen and we food the best place. Our server Micheal was so friendly and attentive. He helped us with the menu and also providing us with what he thinks are the best ones. For appetizer we had the spicy creamy shrimp Tempura and OMG so creamy and delicious. For dishes we had the spicy umami miso Ramen and karaage chicken Ramen. The umami noodles and broth was amazing. So much flavor! The karaage was very creamy and the chicken was amazing and still had its crunchyness while being in the Ramen. For drinks we had the Mojito and the Lycheetini. The Mojito was so strong but good. The Lycheetini was very refreshing and good.

    The spicy pork broth is tasty but the noodles were more firm than I prefer. To me, ramen should be something that is affordable. Paying $16 dollars + tax + tip for a bowl of noodles and broth and 2 slices of pork is too much. I had a recent trip to Japan, $16 could get a regular bowl of ramen + extra meat + extra veggies+ an egg + noodle refill... The pictures below one is from JINYA and one from Tokyo....

    Fried chicken was good. Spicy Donkatsu was okay. It has thick noodle and It was not my favorite. I wish I can try thin noodle next time. But the atmosphere and servers were nice

    It was … okay. The service was odd. When we arrived there was a half-hour wait. Fine. But we were told we could not have a drink at the bar. They don’t allow waiting at the bar because it gets crowded. There were more empty stools at the bar than in our party. Host asked in back if we could have a drink and wait. No. We had to leave the restaurant, and they called us when a table was free. The food was relatively quick and quite beautiful. The octopus balls were fantastic. I had the special, which was a ramen with fried chicken. The chicken was well-seasoned. The broth was bland. Adding hot sauce helped. Service at the end of the meal was very slow. We said we wanted dessert when our plates were bussed, and then nothing. Such a long wait we chose to go elsewhere. Again, it was fine. But there’s other places to try.

    Words cannot describe how amazing this place is I have never tried such amazing food. The flavors and the tenderness of the meat is just outstanding, the broth of the soup is heavenly, and their appetizers are delicious as well. Not to mention the service is friendly and awesome as well. Yuki was our server and she went above and beyond. Thank you guys so much we will be coming back and as to anyone looking for a good place to eat I seriously highly recommend them. I just wish there were more of these places cause we have to travel a little bit to get here

    Food was good, but nothing made me excited to go back. I would go again, but yeah, I wasn't amazed. The potstickers were very good, the octopus balls didn't have enough octopus. Disclaimer, I've never eaten octopus balls before so have no idea what they are supposed to be like. The flavor was good, but too much dough for me. Overall, nothing would make me not recommend this place, you should check it out yourself. Also, the service was fantastic, so that's good.

    Very good ramen with a trendy atmosphere. I liked that they had a wide selection of items on the menu, from rice or poke bowls to various types of ramen. There should be something for everyone. We especially enjoyed the takoyaki (octopus balls). They were something different we had had before and were both crispy and creamy. We will eat here again when we are back in the area.

    Service was on point. Manager lady is great. She is always working hard. The greeting had gone downhill. Usually they shout out something catchy as a group but it was lunch so only one server , one cook, one manager and only manager greet no one help her lol. FOOD WAS GREAT. My favorite ramen in town honestly. We got my son the kids meal and it was HUGE. It was like a three course meal. Love their pork buns also !!

  • 5/5 Cesar C. 8 months ago on Google
    Fkng love this place. Their spicy chicken ramen is always on point and the flavor is there in every bite. Takoyaki balls are a must as an appetizer!!

    Grabbed a late lunch. Missed the lunch rush, so the place is empty. Got seated and placed my order. Service was quick and food was delicious and fulfilling on this cold snowy afternoon.

  • 1/5 alyssa b. 6 months ago on Google
    This place is really not worth the money. The broth tastes like instant ramen broth, and the meat that came with it was cold! Super gross and not worth the money. This place is not good and it seriously just tastes like instant ramen with better noodles.

    I asked for half amount of noodle but the other ingredients were not enough portion. I can't agree the flavor is authentic. The fried chicken was moist and so greasy when i got to the last two pieces.

  • 5/5 Michelle H. 2 years ago on Google
    Very good variety of dishes. The ramen was great and my son loved his rice bowl! They even have machines ice cream!!
