    Spicy Edamame

    This is the best poke bowl and spicy edamame place and prices are great! The Rainbow poke bowl comes with salmon, salmon roe, tuna and yellow tail and portion was huge!

    This place is great. Super friendly staff, really clean establishment with great music to keep the vibes upbeat. The food was good, I really enjoyed the angus steak fried rice. I think this was the first time where I've seen SO MUCH steak in any fried rice dish before. I legit had a piece in every single bite, no exaggeration. The menu had a lot of different options for food and drinks.

    Food is good.. I loved coming here.. until I found rat droppings or a small rodent on the table I was eating at and right beside the seat there was a dead adult roach I got offered a 15% off coupon or 6$ off my meal I feel like I deserved a little more but whatever Good food but super unhygienic

    Seating quickly. Sever was attentive. Food was decently priced for ramen. It is nice to not have to drive to Houston for ramen.... XD

    My friends and I came in on a Tuesday night and were seated right away - there's plenty of space for seating and a couple sections for large groups. I really like the interior especially since they had it decked out for Halloween. My friend and I ordered the Baby Octopus and Chicken Thigh for starters. The baby octopus was great- sweet and savory with some sliced cucumber on the side. As for the chicken thigh, you can definitely skip this one. When we were ordering this, we had an option for the type of seasoning so we chose 'asian spice'. Honestly, it's just seasoning sprinkled on top of a skinny skewer of plain meat so this one isn't worth getting. As for the ramen, we all ordered the Tonkotsu Ramen. One thing I recognized right off the bat was how lukewarm the ramen was. I personally like my soup dishes warm/hot especially now that it's getting colder. The eggs were okay but didn't have as much umami flavor from the marinade as I thought. The noodles were fine but the broth was just okay. It's not bad but I definitely had others that were richer in flavor. Ultimately, the chashu took the show away- very tender, flavorful, and rich (yum)! Other than that, the service was great! Everyone was very friendly and attentive to our table so we appreciate their hard work. I hope to come back and try their other ramens!

    Came here tonight for a late dinner after a day of travel. Everything was amazing from the food to the service they knocked it out the park. They have a rather large menu and I only posted portions of it. The ramen was great! Lots of flavor! Ordered soup dumplings and they did not disappoint. We got a couple of side salads and the dressing was great. I would defn come back to this neighborhood gem. Located by the Whole Foods off of Louetta and Cutten. Lots of parking. Cute little Instagramable place if you're into that stuff. Lol

    I tried this place for a family member and it blew my mind. The ramen is good. They also have a tomato based broth which I got with the beef ramen. Beef was tender. Service was friendly and fast. But not so fast that it felt like they just threw something together. Decor was clean. Would definitely go back and recommend you try it as well.

    This place was great! I ordered spicy chicken and my husband ordered the spicy beef! Great service and great food. Our toddler loved it! Wish I could have taken more pics of the food but was busy with my toddler. The broth really hit the spot! PS the bowl is mine.

    This place is seriously the best, whether it's for a nice bite after work or a weekend dinner with the family, a date, anything. The place is clean and nicely decorated. The service is great and they're always so kind no matter the time of day. The food isn't ridiculously overpriced and super delicious! From the many photos I've taken you can tell I love this place... can't recommend it enough! I've been to both locations in the north Houston area but this one is my favorite.

    First time having ramen in years, and it did not disappoint! I had the Miso Ramen, which was entirely flavorful. The chasu (pork) was well seasoned, tender, and juicy. The spicy ground pork was delicious as well, and the combination of the pork bone broth, bamboo, sweet corn, green onion all came together very well. The garlic wings appetizer was also very good - crispy, juicy and seasoned well.

    I have driven by here several times and decided to try a new ramen place out with my husband. The menu is quite large here, so after looking over it, we decided on the beef bao, whole grilled squid, spicy chicken ramen, and gyoza. The bao and gyoza came out first. I'm allergic to pork so I did not try the gyoza but my husband really enjoyed them and said they were some of the best he has had. The beef bao were good, we really enjoyed the sauce on it. The whole squid looked good but after eating some of it you could tell it was previously frozen from its texture and very overcooked . It was like eating a rubber band. Parts of it were also a little too charred so you really couldn't enjoy the whole squid. The chicken ramen was also a disappointment. The ramen was bland but had a weird smoky flavor. The chicken was super dry and overcooked and the noodles were mushy from being overcooked.

Flying V Harvest was fantastic. I drank that broth like I just came out of the Sahara. So good. The Impossible meat fusion is a funny add but a good protein bump. It was a few days ago but I think I'm still full from that ramen bowl. The vibe is modern high ceiling bumping music; my in-laws found it to be too loud. I think they are giving you an excuse to lean in and get a little closer to your companion. The vibe is chic yet also casual so bring whoever you want but this would work for date night. The font on the menus is squint inducing so do your research ahead of time or prepare to spend more time perusing the menu than usual, especially with the dim lighting. They offer thin or thick noodles and can mix some broth options to adjust spice level. Drinks- the smoked in front of your face whiskey is a treat and a show. Solid spot. No regrets. Salivating at the thought of the next visit.

    We decided we wanted ramen on a recent cold Houston night and went to one of our consistent places,…read moreJINYA. JINYA is located in the heart of midtown in a popular restaurant strip. Their ramen is flavorful and solid and their service is consistent. Parking: parking is free in the garage around the corner from JINYA. We went during the week and the garage was not packed. There's also paid street parking around the restaurant that you can find but look for signs to know when you have to pay and when you don't. Service: service here is very good. They have an army of waitresses and waiters who check on tables and we never had to ask for refills or never had to flag down someone. Our food came out in a timely manner. The one thing I will say about service is the appetizers we ordered came out right before our ramen so we had all of our food at one time which was a lot. I wish they would've spaced out the food timing a little more. Ambiance: JINYA has a modern interior and open concept. They have tables, booths, and 2 big community tables in the center of the restaurant. The restaurant playlist is hip and modern. The inside of the restaurant is dimly lit so if you have bad eyesight, get ready to use your flashlight to read the menu. Food: we ordered two ramens and the gyoza and edamame. Gyoza: these were fried well and had a gyoza sauce that came on the table. The wrapper was thin and they were not too oily. We would order this again. Edamame: this was typical edamame. Nothing too special. Would not get this again when we come back. Creamy Classic Tori-Paitian: this is a chicken ramen with wavy noodles that came with fried enoki mushrooms, chicken chasu, butter, spinach and a corn rib. This ramen was rich in flavor and had so many fun, delicious toppings. The corn run was grilled nicely and I wish I had more of them in my bowl. I'm a sucker for enoki mushrooms and this did not disappoint. I took the enoki mushrooms out of the ramen immediately so they didn't get soggy fast and that was the move if you want the mushrooms to stay crunchy. The chicken broth was rich and light which was a great combo. I finished this bowl to the last drop. JINYA Chicken Ramen: my girlfriend got the chicken ramen with a side of bamboo. Warning on the bamboo: the bamboo comes dressed in sesame oil and sole hot oil so they are a little spicy. The chicken ramen broth was once again rich with flavor and light. The chicken chase was good and this ramen comes with thin noodles instead of wavy noodles. Overall JINYA hits the spot when craving ramen or some hot soup on a cold day. The chicken broth is legit and I will be closing back to try the pork broth soon. My only qualm with JINYA is the price at over $17 per bowl of ramen. There are cheaper ramen places but JINYA flavor makes up for the priciness.

We arrived around 5:40pm on a Friday night and there was plenty of seating. However, by the time we finished around 6:30pm the restaurant was bustling. The waiter told us he expected a very busy evening. Chicken karaage arrived first and was done very nicely. The exterior was super crispy and the inside juicy and moist. Yum. I was seriously tempted to order another plate since it only came with 6-7 pieces. Next, all the ramens came out. I got the shoyu truffle which I enjoyed a lot. I liked that you can taste the truffle flavor without it being overpowering. Also liked that the broth itself wasn't as salty as some ramen places. Noodles were al dente and all the toppings were tasty! Loved that the char sui actually had a good amount of lean meat versus it being mostly fat. The char grilled bamboo shoots were a nice touch as well. I tried my son's tonkotsu shoyu and enjoyed it too. I think my least favorite was my husband's tonkotsu gachi ramen, but he enjoyed it.

I was excited to stop in and try it on a Monday around 1pm. The inside of the restaurant is really nicely done. It has a bar area and tables. I was sat at a table. The ordering system is through a QR code. It was fine and I paid with Apple Pay. You can also type in your credit card. I chose the tonkatsu ramen with the lunch special add on of pork and rice for 3.90. The ramen was a 7/10 for me. The egg, the pork and the broth lacked flavor. The flavor on the pork in the rice dish was better, but the rice was overcooked and mushy. I gave up on my bowl about halfway through and left unsatisfied. I don't think I'll be back.

It is next to mensho but the line is much shorter. I will say the system for their waiting list is a bit confusing.

My comment still stands :) *Entrees: 7.5/10 I am a big unagi fan and was really excited to try the one here.

I love the set up and it was giving spacious. There were cassette tapes aligned on the wall in the booth we sat in, which I thought was very creative.

We actually substituted the pork for shiitake mushrooms and when I tell y'all we were surprised at the portion We both looked at each other like "YAAASSSSSS" Next came our Ramen orders which didn't take long at all. Not that we were counting because we were INDULGED in those nachos LOL Babii rated her Oxtail Ramen a '7/10' for $25. She would've preferred to get shiitake mushrooms because she particularly didn't like the fact that the Oxtails were shredded and not on the bone (which is what we both expected when reading it). She also would've liked if they gave her a spice option since she likes spicy ramen. Unfortunately, we had to purchase a nasty 'Kappa' sauce which was not worth the $1.50. To her the portion size was A1, however we paid for the meat so it wasn't worth the $25. Now, the Vegetable Garden to me was a '8.5/10' it was good, had amazing portion size and they were not lacking in the texture department. I mean, the spinach noodles were delish, vegetable cooked very Al dente. I cannot complain on that part. To me it was missing a bit of flavor, maybe salt would've done the trick. Overall though, it did have the flavor of the mushrooms which wasn't bad. Most importantly though, I felt light after consuming my meal. Therefore, I have to give it all a high rating. GO TRY THIS PLACE OUT, ITS WORTH THE TRY
