    Okay I’ll start by saying why I’m rating 2 stars. Simply put, we were forgotten about. Our server never came back to ask us what ramen we wanted to order. We had ordered a drink & appetizer and then she just never came back. Nobody came to check on us. We waited almost half an hour at our table before waving down another server and told her we never got to place our ramen order. That server took our ramen order right away and eventually our original server came back to apologize but then we never saw her again. We eventually got our ramen and our full check and that was that. No other apology, no offering of any kind, as if nothing went wrong. I have a lot of patience, but I can guarantee few people would be willing to wait at their table for almost half an hour being ignored/forgotten…mistakes happen and we are human, but the least we could’ve gotten was a drink refill….& the positive would be that the Brussel sprouts were great and my spicy ramen bowl was flavorful. Highly doubtful we will come back due to lack of service/responsibility when a big mistake like that happened.

    Staff was super helpful and nice even though I could tell they were understaffed and dealing with the lunch rush. All the food we ordered was delicious a perfect for a cold day. We had to wait quite a bit for our meal to reach us but we still had an enjoyable experience.

    Crowded with a lot of empty tables, but you still wait an hour because there's a "process". Been coming here for over 20 years and after new management took over it completely makes no sense now. Park underground, it's easier. Staff are drones. Food taste a bit different than it does year after year but still delicious. If you're going to have to make your customers wait so long, extend happy hour. The best thing besides the food was Andrew. 5 stars for him, but the rest of the staff 0, they looked miserable and weren't polite or friendly, just textbook and not even textbook customer service just talked through you, no feeling. Andrew was friendly, quick, polite, informative, and the best staff member they had working the day we went, the other staff has to take note, he CARED. If management is reading this, table turn over brings in more money than empty seats for an hour. Go back to common sense. When you have regulars complaining to each other about the seating, empty seats and wait, you know you've got a problem.

    Located in a strip mall center near Marshalls and Michaels they excellent parking which is a luxury for this area. Has a very cozy indoor and a pretty good size outside patio area. First time here I ordered the spicy chicken ramen, Salmon tacos, spicy tuna cones. The cone and tacos arrived pretty quick and despite the novelty upon tasting them I could take or leave next visit. They didn't taste bad but they didn't blow my mind either. The presentation was nice but again it didn't have a memorable taste profile, kinda bland. The ramen followed, and it was tasty for sure with a nice presentation. Now I did order the spicy... It has nice flavor but not quite any kick or bite. I would say if you wanted that go ahead and order the hot level as they give you a choice of mild, spicy and hot. Kick in for the seasoned egg. It was perfect, the yolk was not overcooked. It was nice and runny. Service was great. Side note the soy sauce was not on table, you'll have to request it. There are condiments on table but no soy sauce. I'll come back and order the a hot level ramen and see how I fare with it.

    Food was fire. And by fire I mean delicious. The kids dish was perfect for each my 8 and 2 year old boys. At the 13 dollar price is awesome. I had the rice curry dish, and it was phenomenal. I mean the best comfort food for sure. Husband ordered the spicy chicken ramen and he very much enjoyed it. Service was even better! Web our waiter was so kind and patient with us as well. This is a MUST STOP for visitors that love good food.

    I have visited Japan to enjoy food over 5 times. Tacoyaki is legit and tasty. Crispy outside and soft inside with fresh and right amount of chewy octupus. Chachacha thic noodles were way better than thin ones for texture but it is just for my preference. Fried chicken was crispy, juicy, flavorful and everything. Chicken broth was not my taste but both pork broth and chicken one were very rich. 100% recommend and will come back.

    Pretty good ramen! It was a friends recommendation. The pork and the broth were the highlights. The noodle could improve in quantity and quality

    The foods are all great, we loved it. If you like ramen you have to try theirs and won't regret it. We had Tonkatsu black, JINYA Tonkatsu original, shrimp wonton ramen, impossible bun, JINYA bun, takoyaki and Brussels sprout tempura. JINYA bun, the pork is soft, juicy and tasty. I had Tontaksu black ramen, the noodles, the egg, and the meat, so delicious. Must try!

    A cute little Ramen spot, situated conveniently next to a few home good stores right on Ventura Blvd. I've always had great experiences here as far as for customer service and being seated in a timely manner. Be warned that some of the noodle bowls can be very very salty. The pork Chasu black has great pork in it but is very salty. My sisters ordered the vegan bowl (which I think is called the Flying something) said that theirs was very salty as well. Shame! but they have other items that are just great.. the chicken Ramen wins in my book.

    We had to wait a few mins to get a table on a weekday around 8.30 pm. The restaurant has vegan food options. We tried Spicy Creamy Vegan Ramen, Impossible bun and Impossible Gyoza and Mochi Ice Cream. All the food was great. The person waiting on us gave good service! I will recommend this place to friends.

    Wow! Super delicious vegan ramen! The broth was so tasty, the noodles had the perfect texture. I added two different kinds of mushrooms as toppings. Friendly service and cool vibes. Will definitely be back with friends.

    Although not the best ramen we have ever had, for the price, I think it's fair to say they deserve 5 stars. Fried chicken is really good.

    My boyfriend and I stumbled upon this place while buying a late night ramen place while visiting LA. Their original broth brings a new revision to the standard shoyu based broth and is amazing. The egg noodle they use is brilliant and cooked just the way i like it. The charsu meat is so tender and flavorful it literally melts in your mouth. The cherry on the top for this particular ramen bar would have to be their attentive and very friendly staff. I'd definitely refer this location to any ramen fan!

    Molly's service reminded of my living experience in Japan. Her smile, her attitude, she is a professional! I have never gotten such an incredible service in America. I was surprised how eloquently and professionally she treated us! One of the best eating experience of my life! Food became 100 times more delicious when the service is like Molly! She is a legend and she knows how to serve a customer very professional! 10/10

    Is it (serious day today) i would put 5 atars on the service but i did not have any of the staff genuinely smile. Its like they had a bad day today. Tried this place because of multiple friends recommendation. Got the black tonkatsu. Thier version of shio ramen and of course our favorite takoyaki. (Takoyaki btw is great) + 2 soda the serving size is not as big as the other places that we go to. Atmosphere is high end. Place is clean food was tasty. Will come back to try other ramen and for the takoyaki. Bill came to about 53$ plus tip.

    Always a 20-30 minute wait but it goes fast. They will text you when your table is ready. Thankfully there is Homegoods that will keep your wife company while you wait. Unfortunately, that might cost you an additional $100 in seasonal items that you probably don’t need. So please add that to your expense assumption when going to Jinya. Aside from that the Ramen is amazing and always consistent. We going between 2-4 to minimize the wait time. By far one of the best Ramen spots.

    Great food and even better service. Sweet and attentive waiter!! Almost missed happy hour, yet they still let us have the deals.

    Hi ya was a pretty fantastic ramen spot it was super busy when we got there at like 5:00 p.m. and the wait was over an hour I would highly recommend getting there early or ordering to go food because the quality of the food is exceptional but the wait time is way too severe. I would highly recommend ordering additional broth we found that every one of our robins we ordered didn't have enough broth to go with it but everything still tasted amazing. Also get a side dish of the shishito peppers they were a nice fine on the menu and a wonderful treat.

    Best Ramen in LA, period. Atmosphere is hilarious w heavy thumping dance music and goofy wait staff, fun all around. Other food on menu was tasty but we go there for the Ramen! Chicken spicy miso is my Go to....

    Wonton Chicken Ramen (Hot) with extra hot sauce, Spicy Creamy Shrimp Tempura, Spicy Tuna and Salmon Cones. Yummy! The ramen with the extra hot sauce was so great. It had good flavor, was cooked well and very filling! Spicy creamy shrimp tempura was also delicious. Very soft tender and juicy inside. The spicy tuna and salmon Cones were also really tasty and a good snack. They have a nice outdoor seating area with some heaters and you can park on the street. Staff was friendly and the atmosphere was nice.
