    Not the first time we come here and honestly one of the few good places in Black Hawk for some yummy food. They can get busy so make sure you allow for some wait time but it is worth it. Service has always been great despite the wait time. This place is open so you can still do lots of people watch with your dinner. The ramen is good, but their other dishes also satisfy. One recommendation are the pork buns so so good. The most recent ramen I tried was the wonton one and added some of the seasoning sauce which elevated the flavors of the broth. 10/10 and we sure will return although it turn out being a very expensive ramen experience . Stop by and get a nice warm bowl of ramen when the weather is cold up in the mountains

    Amazing spot for the casinos! You won't be disappointed when eating here, was happy to learn there is one in BlackHawk at Ameristar, immediately went and ordered the crispy chicken as an appetizer and the spicy chicken ramen medium heat, delicious! Aman the bartender took care of us and was very attentive.

    The Tonkotsu Premium was absolutely amazing, rich, flavorful, and so satisfying. I ordered spice level 5 out of 10 and it was the perfect heat without needing any extra chili oil, the balance was spot on. The lychee drink was sweet and refreshing and paired so well with the ramen. I loved that they offer garlic on the side and being able to mince and add fresh garlic to my bowl was such a fun and tasty touch. The portions are super generous and I was completely full by the end. The house salad was bigger than I expected, but it had a bit of a bitter taste, maybe from the dressing. The pork bun was super juicy and tender. It was great for appetizer. The staff were all so friendly and attentive, which made the whole experience even better. Overall an amazing and perfect ramen spot and I will definitely be back.

    That says it all!

    Awesome experience! Anthony was professional with a great vibe. Delicious cucumber salad, crispy chicken, and delightful matcha ice cream. Lovely ambiance!

    We came in for a late lunch and it wasn't very busy when we sat down but it got busy afterwards. We both ordered ramen and it didn't take too long to come out. I got the vegan red fire opal and my husband got the spicy chicken. We both really liked our ramen and my husband said it was some of the best ramen he has ever had. The service was slow getting our drinks refilled and my husband would have liked to order more noodles because he said the portion was a bit small. We would definitely come back here since not many restaurants in Blackhawk had vegan options and this place had several and serves impossible meat.

    First time having ramen that wasn't from a package. It was pretty good, waitress was friendly and explained things to us. The restaurant is in the Ameristar casino.

    JINYA is a MUST. The Birria Ramen and JINYA Chicken Ramen were delicious. The Matcha Tirumasu was the cherry on top.The staff from front to back are very welcoming and friendly. Jamiah was my server and I am definitely going to ask for her again. She was super attentive, knowledgeable on the menu and any questions I had especially when it came to substitutions, and just the sweetest! I can't wait to come back again for another one of a kind experience. Thank you!

    Came for a late lunch. It's in the first floor of the Ameristar casino. They were not busy but had to seat myself at the bar. The hostess was very nice when she arrived but she was also the server and bartender. I got the Jinya Tonkatsu Black and it was bland, I had to add salt. The broth was ok, the pork was not that defining. I've had ramen at other places and the taste was on point. I'm glad I tried it. It's a cute place and has a lot of options in the menu. If your around try.

    Disappointed with this location. While the host was friendly, the overall experience was underwhelming. I ordered the Spicy Chicken Ramen to-go, and it missed the mark completely--no spice, barely any flavor, and the broth was lukewarm. I also bit into a piece of cold chicken. I walked less than three minutes back to my room, so the temperature issue wasn't due to delay. What added to the frustration was a pricing discrepancy. When I tried ordering through their website, the total without tip came to $23.14, but I was charged $23.85 in person. It's not a huge difference, and I wouldn't have minded if the ramen had been good--but it wasn't. Strangely, they don't provide itemized receipts for to-go orders, only for dine-in. Maybe that's why--they can't clearly explain the pricing. Either way, it felt sloppy and disappointing for a place with such a strong reputation.

    The service could have been better, and the food was just okay overall. The restaurant is small and gets quite noisy, which made the atmosphere a bit hard to enjoy. That said, all the dishes looked delicious, and our favorite was the spicy shrimp tempura--it really stood out.

    JINYA Ramen in @ameristarbh was delicious! I ordered the JINYA Bun and the Tokyo Curry Rice. The pork belly on the bun melted in your mouth which is always a 50/50 chance when I've eaten pork buns before. The Tokyo Curry was delicious too, but didn't have a lot of chicken. The servers and manager were so nice! They were attentive and were always checking on our water levels which I absolutely love! The prices seemed pretty fair in my opinion too!

You order at the counter and move along a cafeteria-style line filling your bowl with additions. We requested the Korean Chicken Wings which were described online as a "brown sugared sweet and savory sauce" but were stopped by the server who asked if we'd tried it before and if we liked spice. I like spice, but my husband isn't as big of a fan. The server told us "They're spicy. They're too spicy!" so we went for the Lil Dragon Wings at his recommendation. I ordered the Tonkotsu ramen with grilled Wagyu beef which was grilled directly in front of me, and topped it with a ramen egg, corn and lime. The tables have little induction heaters on them which you can place your bowl on to reheat if they get too cold! I utilized this cool tool twice to reheat the broth after it had gotten below my preferred temperature. The wings were crispy and well seasoned, and we didn't feel deprived of any spice (so thank you to our server for your recommendation!). The Tonkotsu broth was super rich, flavorful and warming, the ramen noodles were perfect al dente, and the Wagyu steak was mind blowingly tender and delicious! I didn't get pictures this time, but would highly recommend both the wings and the ramen, and might risk the Korean wings next time, just to say I tried them!

The vibe is fast and loud, but the servers are super efficient and communicative. I really liked the tokidoki roll and hamachikama. Hard to go wrong with those! The hamachi kama was HUGE. They give you the entier collar! I also liked the yaki ika which was very tasty, not rubbery at all. They have a lot of ramen on the menu which was a crowd pleaser for our group. Their edamame is also very spicy and quite good -- not your typical simply salted edamame. One thing I wouldn't order - the kimchi fried rice.

You can try to park at the free parking, off the street or on the street. It was Sunday 3 pm and parking was no problem. Ambiance. Very Japanese like feeling with knick knacks every where with banners, akachõchin. Sushi bar takes one side and also a small bar to the back. Drink menu featured several imported Japanese bottled beers on top of the common ones at reasonable price. Ended up getting the house salad, chicken yakitori, spicy tonkatsu ramen and yaki ika. All tasted good, no complaints. Spicy tonkatsu ramen had rich broth, chatsu was grilled and plenty. Repeat

Of course we always take the bonito flakes which arrive dancing on top of the food, to wave in the escaping heat of the fresh seafood omelet. They have a roasted barley tea I love that has no caffeine as made without a decaffeinating process and so different than herbals common in Boulder. It has real substance. As we started to eat our pork gyoza and Ebi shumai we saw a lit candle in some food being carried across the room. Having eaten here baby times over the year, we were surprised as we had never seen this here. The entire restaurant broke in singing happy birthday to someone too far for us to see. As a server was passing our table, I mentioned we were celebrating my husband's birthday too. He said meh!d let someone know. As we were waiting for our dessert later, the owner who we've met before , with one of the servers who was carrying an ice cream mochi with a flaming birthday candle arrived and placed it in front of my husband and all the patrons broke out in sing again! Who knew this was a tradition here? The owner, who is almost always on the floor had an instant camera and too a picture of our table with the candle celebration. He made a copy for us to take home and one for nh husband to sign which will go up on some wall I had never noticed. We'll be sure to check in the walk the next time we are in. It's such a fun place with really good food. Do make a reservation these days. It's always busy, the now are only open Wed- Sat for dinner.
