    Crispy Chicken
    Thao R.

    We were at The Domain and decided to stop by JINYA Ramen Bar. Even though it's a franchise, the ramen is consistently solid. We opted to sit at the bar and got seated immediately. We were blown away when our food came out in less than 10 minutes after ordering, especially during a dinner rush on a Saturday. Fast, friendly service all around. I ordered the Jinya Tonkotsu Black and added bamboo shoots. The broth had good depth and richness, though it leaned slightly under salted for my taste. Still very enjoyable overall. We also had the crispy chicken (karaage), which was juicy on the inside with a nice crisp exterior. Reliable spot if you're craving ramen while shopping at The Domain!

    Elliot helped me today and you're missing out if you've never been here before. The customer service is excellent. They do not have a waiting list or take reservations, but I do highly recommend this establishment. They do have an outside patio so you can bring your Doggie. And the menu is extensive with Ramen noodle noodles and also dishes with rice and they also have some taco dishes as well. It's a treat to be here. It is in the domain right by Hattie, B and by Lavaca bar. It's a gem in the domain.

    Tan tan men
    Aditya A.

    Tried the tan tan men yesterday and it was nice and creamy with thick noodles and a bit of spice! The fried chicken appetizer was quite nice as well. Staff was nice and helpful - was sat at the bar which can be a tiny bit uncomfortable but good if you come in by yourself but a more challenging in a party of 3. Overall good experience!

    Jinya Ramen has always been one of my favorite ramen spots, and I've visited this location a couple of times in the past with consistently good experiences. The flavors were usually on point, and the salt level was well balanced, which is something I really appreciate in a good bowl of ramen. We came back recently and ordered two different bowls: the Spicy Vegan Tofu Ramen and the Red Fire Opal Ramen. The Spicy Vegan Tofu Ramen was very good -- flavorful, comforting, and nicely balanced, with the tofu adding a great texture and making the whole bowl feel hearty and satisfying. The Red Fire Opal Ramen, however, was much saltier than expected. The flavor itself was still good and had a nice spicy kick, but the saltiness was a bit overpowering and took away from what could have been a really delicious bowl. When it comes to ramen, the balance of the broth makes a huge difference, and this one just missed the mark a little for us. That said, Jinya still offers solid quality and good flavors overall. I just hope they're a bit more mindful with the salt level next time, because it can really make or break the experience. We'll definitely be back and hope to update this to a higher rating next time. For now, it's a solid 4 stars .

    Comfort ramen spot in Austin! We always order vegetarian ramens there! All three options are good, just depends on what you are feeling that day we order different things. The ramen is kind of on the salty side, but I think it's bc I usually eat everything less salty so it might be just personal preference! Definitely somewhere you want to try where you are in Domain area!

    Salmon Poke Tacos
    Chloe M.

    This place was disappointing. The apps were great but the ramen falls short. Loved the Poke tacos and Crispy Chicken. The broth lacked depth and flavor. The additional toppings came on separate plates instead of in the ramen bowl. I didn't want to finish my bowl of ramen nor take it to go as leftovers. The egg was 10/10 though cooked perfectly. The bartender was nice and attentive. The staff had to yell something every time someone enters or leaves the establishment which is trying too hard to be cute and got annoying after the fifth time. The inside has a bar, ramen bar seating, booth tables and a patio. Located in the Domain shopping center so might be a bit of a walk once you find parking.

    We stopped by Jinya Ramen Bar at the Domain during happy hour and overall had a good experience. The ramen itself was really tasty and surprisingly filling with rich broth and solid portions. It definitely hits the spot if you are craving comfort food and quality noodles. The service is also pretty good. That said the happy hour menu could be better. It was only $2 off Sapporo and none of the ramen options were included which felt a bit limited. Still worth going for the ramen itself but I would not go out of my way specifically for happy hour deals.

    Shout out to our server Eden. She was professional and patient with my fickle mind. I'm an Asian fusion snob but Jinya makes it to my list of to go. I've gone to a different location from a different city and this was a cozy place, I like it. Not too noisy crowd although we beat the long line! They give military discount but I think it was forgotten on our tab. We ordered the last Tuesday deal of the month and I'm glad we did! But I loved the appetizers---forgive me for forgetting their official menu names---shrimp tempura, squid balls and edamame. Love love the drinks. I had the Sakura and my bestie had the Peachtini now that was the highlight!

    Jinya chicken ramen
    Naomi S.

    JINYA is officially my new obsession. Everything I've tried so far tastes amazing--full of flavor and always hits the spot. Definitely a go-to when I'm craving something good. That broth?? Next level. Nice atmosphere with seating inside, at the bar or on the patio. Walked in hungry, walked out full and happy. Even with a crowd, they kept it moving and didn't miss. This might be my new go-to ramen spot.

    Slightly modern (American) take on classic ramen. The broth was absolutely delicious in the Tonkotsu Black ramen we tried. I loved everything about it, except the fried onions. I'm reminded of a classic steak when I eat these fried onions and did not appreciate this memory intruding on my ramen experience. That being said, everything else about this ramen was excellent. We also tried the signature mocktail kiwi sparkler and the matcha lychee lemonade - both were sweet and flavorful. The kiwi came with a rock sucker candy which was a fun addition but too sweet for me to appreciate it at dinnertime. We shared a bowl of ramen (large enough to split) with crispy rice with spicy tuna and aburi oshi-sushi salmon. These 'pressed' sushi was tasty but the rice was very different from classic sushi rice. Seating at the bar is open and first come-first served. There are a few tables inside, a large communal table, and some seating outdoors Overall good quality if you don't mind a somewhat less than traditional ramen meal

    Absolutely loved this restaurant. First time here. Sat at the bar. There are small tables and a sushi bar available as well. No wait at all when we got there. Absolutely loved the service and the atmosphere. The food was amazing, large portions, great flavor. Little pricey, but very good quality and fresh food. Would highly recommend and return. Great area, walking distance to many other bars and restaurants.

    Crispy Rice Tuna
    Amrutha S.

    The stakes were high because I was down with a cold but expectations were not met at all. I got the spicy chicken ramen and the flavor was mid. The only redeeming factor for this meal was the Crispy Rice Tuna. I did a pick up order in person so service was relatively fast.

    Spicy chicken ramen
    Sanya G.

    Ugh. I really really want to give Jinya 5/5, the ramen (spicy chicken) is always consistent. But over the years they've become a victim of shrinkflation. Almost ~$19-$20 for the spicy chicken ramen with not a lot of meat or veggies makes it hard to justify at times. But the heart wants what it wants. Service was ok. The hostess seemed a little annoyed although they weren't busy. Our server was really nice and friendly, and checked up on us when she could.

    Exceptionally tasty ramen, and my very picky toddler who doesn't usually eat meat enjoyed the jinya bun.

From the very first sip of that rich, creamy broth, I knew this place was something special. The noodles were perfectly cooked, the pork was tender and flavorful, and every bite felt like comfort in a bowl. Honestly, it's the best ramen I've ever had--and it's not even close. What really sets this place apart is the customer service. The staff is friendly, attentive, and truly make you feel welcome from the moment you walk in. The vibe is awesome--lively, clean, and the kind of place you want to sit, relax, and enjoy every minute of your meal. And whatever you do, don't pass up the Spicy Wings. They are sweet, spicy, and perfectly crispy--cooked just right with that satisfying crunch in every bite. Absolutely delicious and the perfect complement to an already amazing meal. Top-notch service, incredible food, and an unbeatable atmosphere--this place is a must-visit.

The food was nicely packaged with no spillage, and I appreciated that the ramen came with heating instructions. The one thing I noticed is that the takeout portions lean a bit heavier on rice than on protein and toppings. Negi Rice Bowl ($7.50): Scallion, fried onion, rendered pork, and sesame seeds. We did not really taste the pork but the overall flavor of the rice bowl was really good. I think it would be even better paired with an additional protein. Chashu Rice Bowl ($10.50): This felt like it was lacking umami and the chashu was not juicy or fatty. Instead, the pork belly was a bit overcooked and dry. It was much better in person so don't order it for takeout. Texas Tonk Ramen ($20.75): Pork bone broth, BBQ brisket, smoked and pickled jalapeño, fermented takana mustard greens, thunder oil, and ajitama. This sounded like such a strange combo, and we were on the fence about ordering it but decided to just go for it. My husband did not like it but I actually did. The flavors worked better than expected and everything came together surprisingly well. The jalapeño was the most interesting element, tender with some structure, spicy, and a bit acidic all at once. I would not order it again but it is definitely worth trying at least once.

Somehow, against all odds, Ramen Del Barrio still exceeds its reputation. There's only one vegan ramen option but it's all you need, both in terms of portion size and flavor. I've never had anything quite like the mole tsukemen, a Tex-Mex mashup pairing rich mole broth served separately from handmade noodles so thick, you might mistake them for udon at a glance. Simple toppings of fried tortilla strips, avocado, charred jalapeno, and caramelized onions adorn the top. Before this moment, I thought I just wasn't a fan of mole. It turns out, I had never tried great mole before. This stuff dazzles with layered spices, melded so well that I can't pick a single one out from the pack. It's not overwhelmingly hot, but definitely leaves your lips tingling. I'm glad I finally got there before they close up shop at their current location in Hana World Market on December 21st, and even happier to know that their new brick-and-mortar isn't too far behind. I'll be there as soon as the doors open!

    Apr 8, 2026 review:…read more I've been at Nori two times in person and recently tried their to-go order. We got one Austin roll ($22), volcano roll ($15), creamy spicy tan tan ramen ($20), teriyaki sesame tofu yakisoba ($20). I have had their sushi and yakisoba but tried their ramen for first time. I was impressed with their packaging. As you can see in picture, veggies and noodles box was on top and soup at bottom. The only thing I didn't like how noodles became very sticky because of how tight they were packed. So I got it as cold (because I live 30 mins away) and sticky. Ramen came with all the veggies like grilled Chinese broccoli, tofu, sweet corn, marinated shiitake mushrooms, red onions and negi. Yakisoba noodles had the Stir-fried noodles tossed with cabbage, scallion, carrot, marinated shiitake mushrooms, and fragrant negi in a savory house sauce. It was good if you like this type of noodles. Austin roll had Smoked tempeh, tempura tofu, jalapeño, pickles. And on the to Avocado, roasted garlic oil, tempura flakes, smoked paprika, teriyaki. Volcano roll was a deep fried roll which had spinach, avocado, sweet potato. On top: spicy mayo, sweet soy sauce, chili sauce, Caviart and tempura onion. I would say this is the best vegetarian sushi place I've found in Austin. So if you're in search, this wouldn't disappoint you.
