    I had the wonton soup. The noodles were very bouncy and the soup was very flavorful. Absolutely loved it! Also had the bao bun and it was okay. I was also able to try the tonkotsu black and it was really good! We were a huge group and we were glad to see they had a table that could accomodate us. The servers were very nice. We had problems with some of our orders though. They forgot to add the ramen eggs in our bowls and, when they brought it to our table, we had to slice them in half ourselves which was a struggle to do since all of us had chopsticks lol It was also a struggle trying to flag down somebody to help us with some of the wrong orders but it was a busy hour so we understand.

    Drink menu

    Very sad to see this place change, the menu has gotten much smaller and food has gone down. Changed their menu and now the appetizers are much smaller, no more spicy shrimp tempura . In all seriousness there are much less options than there used to be but they prioritized their drink menu it looks like. We got the Edemame and I thought it came with salt sprinkled on it usually, definitely did not this time. The spicy chicken ramen tasted good but the noodles were soggy. I asked for extra bean sprouts twice and never got them. My brother said the tofu was very slimy and not enjoyable. I asked the waiter if they do anything for birthdays and he said I gotchu covered. After an hour of waiting for whatever it was we left. The place is still very enjoyable to be at but the food just doesn't cut it anymore.

    Miso Eggplant small plate. I literally could've eaten my weight in these.

    After having this Miso Eggplant on Monday, I had to go back to have it for Wednesday lunch with white rice. It was soooooooo good that I took another order home for tomorrow's lunch. De-lish! Again service was spot on with Piper, upbeat and tons of positive energy. Sitting solo at the little sushi bar gave me just the right amount of anonymity as well as enough space for my lunch and ipad. Again, I recommend!

    Tonkotsu Red...Level 8. YUMMY!!
    Chandra S.

    Jinya is my absolute favorite ramen bar in Baton Rouge. The Tonkotsu Red allows me to pick my spice level (which is an 8), add extras like fresh garlic, cabbage and broccoli and swap to thin noodles. This dish makes my tastebuds dance!! The restaurant is usually full of folks at the normal busy times of lunch and early dinner. Weekends are always packed and rightfully so because there is something for everyone at this BR Jewel! It's a cute spot to stop in before or after a movie or just as a standalone excursion. If you love ramen, you'll love Jinya!!

    Carlos was our server and he was very attentive and came to check on us often. He gave us best sellers and personal opinions on the menu which was great! I had the premium tonkotsu red ramen which was pretty good! My friend had a creamy spicy vegan ramen which shocked me with how flavorful it was. I had the e tomo e tomo drink which I loved as well! The crispy rice was a nice, light starter too! Definitely will be back!

    Crispy chicken, edamame, spicy tuna crispy rice

    I love JINYA! Their happy hour specials are nice, I always get the tuna crispy rice. Today I tried their spicy creamy vegan ramen and wowwwwwwww literally perfect. It has a great level of spice. I added an egg per our servers recommendation and pork. Literally some of the best ramen I've ever had. Our server, Lana, was a great help. I also love to sit outside, vibes are nice out there.

    Birria Ramen
    B.V. R.

    We went the day after Thanksgiving and it was extremely busy, but to be expected since everyone was out shopping. Staff was super friendly, very polite, and did an excellent job of servicing customers. Very clean and intimate atmosphere. I love the setup and ambiance of the place. I ordered the Birria Ramen and it did not disappoint. I'm still craving it, lol. I will certainly return to try other things and of course my picture shows I stirred it up a bit, it wasn't served that way. Surprisingly, the price was fair for lunch for two. Overall, it was great experience.

    I usually have a good experience but I ordered my meal from DoorDash and there was already eaten food in my delivery ! Worst experience !

    I've had jinya ramen in Houston, but this is my first time having it in Baton Rouge. From what I remember, it is pretty similar and of course the Ramen was great. I think my only complaint would be that I wish it had more meat as it seems that most other ramen places I've been to had larger portions of meat. Great location with great service. The food came out fast and was very flavorful, not too salty. I'd come back if I'm in town.

    Whitney was a great bartender. I had the impossible gyoza and a flying violette. Main course I went with the flying vegan harvest and it was served properly. I got one jinya chicken ramen order to go. The restaurant kept a steady flow of a crowd. The bar wasn't too busy.

They became stoned faced & scurried to the opposite end of the bar. However we did notice her demeanor was different when a certain color approached the bar & she was oh so helpful & full of smiles. We sat for quite awhile & started looking for elsewhere, almost as if they were playing rock paper scissors in their head about who was going to serve us, yea. One finally shows up we decided to get a round of drinks & 2 appetizers & go to Tio Javi's hastily. The drinks were sweet, not like they used to be, boudin balls were good, dip lacked luster.
