Shrimp and pork wonton ramen
Iris H.

The service was good, we were seated immediately and our server came to check on us multiple times. I ordered the shrimp and pork wonton ramen. The overall dish was a little bland. I preferred the vegetarian ramens that my friends ordered. The noodles were bouncy and not overcooked. In the future, I would order those instead. The edamame were good, can't go wrong with them. The seating is mostly wooden booths. There is space in the middle of the restaurant for larger groups.

Not the best Ramen I've ever had but still good. I'm used to Ramen having way more in the bowl than what you'd have to add-on. Drinks were beautifully crafted and I'd might return for just those. The service left something to be desired. We were originally sat outside per our request. The seats were not very comfortable, but the biggest issue is our server seemed to disappear. Dropped off drinks and didn't return. We had to flag down the host to take our order and moved inside with better chairs. From there we had numerous servers assisting us with our table. Not that they came over a crazy amount but a different server to drop off food, one to refill water and one to check out.

Chicken ramen
Aneesa M.

Sometimes all you want is a bowl of ramen that reminds you of home (LA) and that's exactly what we got. I like the thin chewy noodles at Jinya and the speed of service. We got the chicken ramen which was a solid 9/10

Chicken wonton Ramen

So I recently came here on Wednesday and I seen this place before back in Arizona never tried to until I moved here and I got seated right away got water. The guy I have was very nice. Suggested what I want to eat and asked me if I had any allergies which is very thoughtful I got the wonton chicken Ramen, which was very delicious and with the side of rice and fresh garlic, which was good. I enjoyed so much and I got extra noodles as well too. That made me happy I will continue to come over here.

Creamy vegan ramen
Tanaya N.

Loved it! On the pricey side($20 per ramen bowl) but the portions were generous. Kids enjoyed the kids meal that comes with a lollipop and icecream. Loved my creamy vegetarian ramen. The spicy chicken ramen had plenty of meat as well. Ambience is typical for a taken place. Nothing fancy but spacious and clean. Parking is plenty and the service was quick as well. I really did not find anything to complain about this place. Definitely coming back.

Spicy Chicken Ramen

I've been to this location multiple times and always get the Spicy Chicken Ramen. Its a must try. The only feedback I would give the team is about their main door. Everytime it opens a gush of cold air freezes everyone inside. They can construct another another door and space between the 2 doors to avoid this like a lot of places do. This will improve customer experience.

Menu [June 2025]
Hui-yu Y.

- Disappointing yuzu shio [Update from June 2025] - Food: 3 stars Price: 2 stars Service: 2 stars Ambiance: 3 stars Overall: 2.5 stars It's super strange but this side of the mall have really slow business, so it's something when this place lasted so long despite management changes several times.. their menu seems slightly different again from the last time I came here. My husband ordered the JINYA tonkotsu black for $20 and I got the chicken yuzu shio delight for $20. The prices are higher than other places by a dollar or two. We asked low sodium for both bowls, and his was fine. Mine barely had any yuzu taste. The soup also wasn't very refreshing like the one from kizuki. The portion wasn't particularly big to reflect the $1 or $2 difference from other places either, so it was quite disappointing. I think the vegan ramen I had last time was much better, and this one just made me never want to come back again. I guess I will go elsewhere for shio ramen, such as kizuki or santouka. Overall the dining experience was fine, we finished eating in less than 30 minutes and the ramen came out fast as they don't usually have much business before noon on weekdays. However, the waiter gave us the bill but never checked on us even though I put down my cc right in front of his face. I went to the bathroom and it's still not touched, so I had to wave him down for it. I'd say the service is also lacking as well. I guess we will come back in a year to see how things are if they can keep surviving lol...

Chicken Chashu bowl
Linda W.

Been to Jinya probably around 5 times now and it's always been good! Just a good place with good ramen and lots of parking space. I got a regular sized Chicken Chashu bowl and it was well portioned with a good ratio of rice, meat and veggies. Service is fast and there's lots of seating available inside. The place is also clean.

Jinya Bun & Kiwi Sparkler
Jimena H.

Loved the ramen, very flavorful broth and noodles. Salmon sushi was amazing, along with the Kiwi sparkler!! Servers were so kind and treated us like family!! Overall very comforting environment.

Spicy Vegan Ramen
Kenneth G.

We moved from Las Vegas to Southern WA and Jinya was our go to spot for so long, so it's become a real treat when we find ourselves far enough north to get it. The food was soooo good. The creamy vegan broth (I sub my pork broth for it) is killer. And whatever sauce they're using on the salmon don is mouthwatering good. It was fairly busy on a Sunday evening so we got seared at the little bar area. It was pretty cozy and the service was great. They were on top of everything from start to finish. Love it!

Charsu Rice Bowl
Huong L.

My sister and I decided to try this place for lunch and we both thought it was ok. The service was average, the person who took our answer couldn't really answered any of our questions and they didn't really do much. Food wise, we got: Tonkotsu 2.0 ramen + pork chasu rice bowl combo Ramen - the broth was supposed to be thicker but I didn't think so, and for me, it got saltier as I eat more of it so not my favorite. Rice bowl was standard - it was fine, but nothing really stood out. The salad that came with the rice bowl was pathetic looking though and didn't taste that good. Price is a little high in my opinion for what you get but it could be because of inflation these days. $18 for the ramen and $11.5 for the small rice bowl --- for me, it would be more reasonable if the ramen was like $15 and the rice bowl was $9... Overall, eh.

JINYA Tonkotsu Black
Erin H.

JINYA Tonkotsu Black is the way to go. Really good flavor in the broth and the meat was nice and tender. Egg and noodles had good consistency too. Definitely the best ramen I've had on the Eastside! I had Ramen Danbo recently, and I think the quality and flavor of my Tonkotsu Black was the same! But this saves me the trouble of going to Seattle and waiting in that line! Will definitely be coming back again, and I've already recommended to a lot of my friends! Small place, but enough seats that I wouldn't expect it to get TOO busy with the location it's at. Parking is free and plentiful

Ah. This was hard. Part of me wanted to give 2 stars but.. it's complicated…read more We came on Labor Day, and damn they were so severely under staffed. The waitlist said 7-10minutes. We waited 20, but no biggie. The waitress was very sweet. The issue was EVERYTHING was a wait. Between being seated and even getting a glass of water, was about 10-15 minutes. I think if we came on a non holiday it would have been better. Hopefully. The food: We got chicken karaage, which was honestly sooo good. Like truly 5/5. Tonkotsu shoyu with added Green. 4.5/5. It was honestly the best broth and noodles I've had in a long time, the let down was the pork. It was so fatty and I think under cooked. Literally tasted like a Christmas ham. If they fixed that, easy 5/5. All star: 4/5. Not as good of a value. Great flavor but the shoyu is better. More veg. Also thought the pork was not good on this one. Shoyu: 5/5.

Chilled glasses for the beer. Agadashi Tofu is wonderful…read more The curry and Karage are a pairing made in heaven, and the rice is truly SO good. It's not your average rice. Ordered a side of udon noodles to go with the curry sauce and it was just WOW! First time bringing a friend son and he was amazed and impressed by the garlic Tonkasu ramen he had. One of the nice touches they have are that some green onions are chopped and sprinkled on top of the extra noodles. That flavor is very important. Service was attentive and outstanding, per usual. It was Alan and another young Asian server. And always love the takeout presentation.

I'm from the Bay Area and have tasted a lot of good ramen in my time, but even by that standard,…read morethis place is at least 95 percentile quality. Good noodles, good chashu, and delicious broth on their "Original" ramen (which is pretty much Tonkotsu, I think). It's lacking in nothing. I also appreciate the way they structure the menu: most toppings are optional (like egg and seaweed) in exchange for a modest base price. Yet even when you add stuff back in, the sum is still reasonable, e.g. with added seaweed and a shot of extra noodles, my bowl came out right around $20 after tax/tip. Service is quick and courteous. This place has only one problem: the wait is damn eternal. I waited 50+ minutes, and the only reason I got in that _fast_ was because I came solo and qualified for counter seating. The couple ahead of me in line waited at least 90... and this was on a Monday! But that's hardly the restaurant's fault.

I think this is a good spot if you are looking for a standard bowl of ramen, but I did not find it…read moreparticularly amazing. There can be a long wait, though they are pretty efficient with service and turning over tables. I got the classic ramen with very firm thick noodles and standard broth thickness and richness. I do like that you can customize both the noodles and broth based on your preferences. The flavor was overall okay. Nothing was wrong with it, but nothing particularly stood out or felt unique either. Overall, a solid option if you are craving a classic bowl of ramen!

Servers are friendly and they make sure you are doing good. Nice place. Good for large or small groups. Recommend making reservations. Parking however is very limited. Not much space so go early so you can search for a place to park. Otherwise, great place!

I treated my friend out for his birthday here on a Saturday noon at exactly 12pm on the dot…read more Parking is tough around here as their shared parking lot is compact, and street parking is limited given it's near Redmond Way - a very busy street - and a ton of residential buildings; I got lucky and snagged parking along 170 Ave NE just two blocks away. If you've been to their first Seattle location in Cap Hill, this location resembles that one in many ways, though this one in Redmond is noticeably much bigger and has more seating that isn't squished together. There's bar seating and a bigger number of four-tops compared to the Cap Hill location, though the wooden wall scheme is the same for both. They serve katsu here with many types of meat cuts, all of which are listed on their menu with descriptions. Service overall was fast and efficient even when tables around us started filling up with hungry patrons. For our food: - The K&O karaage was all right at best. Meat inside is very tender and juicy but the aromatic toasted powder has so much salty flavor - and outer coating was also so dry - that my friend and I needed to drink water constantly while eating it. We could have skipped getting this. - We each got their jidori chicken oroshi katsu. This comes with their jidori chicken, essentially high-quality free-range chicken breast cutlet... and it was very juicy, with the Panko coating being the right kind of crunchy in all areas. We weren't fans of the grated radish sitting on top of all that katsu though, and most of the dish was their shredded cabbage as usual. The cabbage goes really well with their peanut sauce provided at our table. We both left feeling really full and overstuffed in a good way, though I would pass on getting the karaage if you're already getting one of their katsu dishes. Distance- and seating- wise, I'd come back here for their katsu whenever I don't feel like dealing with the parking situation that is Cap Hill.
