I
still
clearly
remember
my
first
visit
to
Jinya
a
few
years
ago
when
it
was
new
-
I
hated
it.
The
menu
laid
out
their
philosophy
in
ramen,
and
I
remember
that
they
said
the
most
important
thing
for
ramen
is
the
broth.
The
broth
in
the
ramen
I
ordered
was
very
oily
and
underwhelming
in
taste,
and
I
stayed
away
ever
since.
Come
Sep
2017,
I
was
invited
to
try
out
their
revamped
menu.
My
group
ordered
one
of
each
of
their
new
ramen
-
the
sukiyaki
Q;
Spicy
creamy
vegan,
and
the
Kara-Men.
We
absolutely
loved
all
of
them!
The
broth
is
now
much
more
clean
tasting,
not
oily,
and
the
flavour
is
good.
I
am
a
big
meat-lover
and
would
have
never
ordered
a
vegan
ramen,
but
that
veggie
broth
tasted
fantastic.
The
Sukiyaki
Q
ramen
tasted
good,
with
my
only
complaint
being
wanting
more
meat
(the
beef
slices
are
thin,
like
in
Sukiyaki,
but
I
want
more
meat!!).
The
kara-men
is
the
most
flavourful
of
the
lot
and
I
loved
the
look
of
the
onsen
egg
on
top.
We
also
had
some
appetizers
beforehand,
with
my
favourite
being
their
Jinya
bun
-
a
flavourful
steamed
bun
with
a
thick
slice
of
tender
braised
pork
chashu.
It
definitely
rivalled
by
usual
go-to
at
Bahn-Mi
boys!
The
deep
fried
brussels
sprouts
were
interesting
as
well
and
I
liked
having
it.
The
only
disappointing
part
of
our
meal
was
the
mochi
dessert,
which
have
green
tea
ice
cream
inside.
The
taste
is
a
bit
weird
for
us
as
it
was
somewhat
"floral"
and
not
like
the
green
tea
ice
cream
we
are
used
to.
Wish
there
was
another
flavour
we
could
have
tried.
Overall,
I
am
super-pleased
with
the
change
in
taste
and
in
the
new
items
at
Jinya.
I
would
definitely
come
back
again.
