    I have been coming to this Jinya location for over four years now and honestly its my favorite in the greater Houston area. The staff is friendly and attentive. If there is every anything wrong with your meal they are quick to resolve it. The food is pretty consistent with quality and we are big fans of the spicy chicken ramen with an egg added and thick noodles. We also enjoy their gyoza and salmon poke tacos. The restaurant is set up well for large groups or an intament dinner for two. They have a full bar and great specialty drinks.

    Spicy Creamy Vegan Ramen

    Got the spicy creamy vegan ramen and it was so good! I'm glad they have multiple vegan/vegetarian options. The broth was really good and they gave lots of noodles. Our server was kind and attentive. I'll definitely be back!

    Chicken Ramen with Corn
    Wendy H.

    I frequent this location often and their servers are always very friendly. They have a lot of seating options but they always want to seat pairs in the back by the bathrooms and it's a little cramped up back there. Beyond that, I always order their Jinya Chicken Ramen with corn and chicken wontons. It's great! You can spice it up and add more flavor to it with their sauces. Their appetizers are always good too. It's a chain but it's definitely not over hyped, their appetizers are good and their ramen options are great. If you're in the mood for some ramen and want a sure fire option the stop by.

    Premium Tonkotsu Red ramen

    Today my server recommended that I try the Premium Tonkotsu Red ramen and it was the best recommendation. I'm a Jinya fan but usually I only get Spicy Chicken and just recently I may get the Creamy Spicy Vegan. Today, I stepped outside of the box and tried the recommendation... I LOVED IT. Great location and friendly atmosphere. Will return if I'm on this side again.

    Shrimp Tempura To Go
    Kyla W.

    I've visited quite a few Jinyas all over the city (check my profile) & I just wasn't impressed with the food at this one. One night, my husband and I ordered to go. As always, I got the spicy chicken Ramen, spicy, and my husband ordered the spicy chicken Ramen, extra spicy. The food quality was just OK. The chicken was so rubbery I didn't eat it. The shrimp tempura was OK, but the shrimp was a little soggy. Wasn't a fan.

    JINYA is my go to comfort food spot. It's not usually busy, when I go. love the vibes and warm greetings when you enter! The salmon poke tacos and creamy shrimp tempura are my favorite apps. The shrimp tempura isn't actually spicy at all imo, but aside from that, the batter is light & delicate, not greasy, allowing the creamy sauce its tossed into to shine. The wonton salmon poke tacos are a flavorful fusion delight! The crisp wonton shells are packed with fresh, marinated salmon, adding a perfect balance of crunch and melt-in-your-mouth texture. The shrimp wonton ramen is a comforting, flavor-packed bowl! The chicken & shrimp wontons add a burst of savory goodness to the rich, well-seasoned broth. Each spoonful is satisfying and delicious.

    Spicy Tonkotsu ramen

    Plenty of bar seating up to 15 people, ordered Tonkotsu Black- Spicy. Great location spot, quick food service and friendly staff.

    Edamame and jinya bun!!!!

    As u are led to your table the whole waitstaff welcomes u in Japanese. Ordered the creamy shrimp tempura n couple of ramen bowls (great for tonight's chilly weather). Omg they were so very delicious! Food came out promptly hot n fresh! Our server was very friendly n attentive checking in on us often. It was nice n cozy with nice lighting . Great for all customers as a solo couples or group. This is easily going on my Top 5! Need to try all the ramen bowls! lol

    The Drinks here were delicious and the food was great as well. The bartender did an amazing job unfortunately I was not able to get his name. The vibes were very calm and clean. I would definitely come back her again.

    Spicy chicken ramen was delish! Good service and vibes. Very clean. Will come again.

    Spicy "atomic" chicken ramen. Mmm mmm!

    We stopped here for lunch yesterday and we were very pleased! We ordered the fried chicken thighs which were piping hot & delicious! Then Caitlyn, our waitress, informed me of the "off the menu" spicy levels that go to 10! I happily ordered atomic but will try something even more spicy next time! The ambiance was cool as always.

    Are high chairs available for children?

    Hi Marissa - Yes! We have high chairs for toddlers and slings for carseats. Hope that helps!

    How do I order to go? Website doesn't work and the phone isn't being picked up.

    Very new location- server states phone line has been having issues.

    Is a reservation for 20 possible?

    The seating is limited I doubt 20 would fit.

    Has anyone had the vegetable ramen before? I've enjoyed the spicy cream vegan but was wondering if the broth was similar or is it completely different?

    Well I am excited to be the first to write a review on this BO establishment. I am not sure why…read morethe Northside getting all the good establishments within a 2 mile radius from each other, but so far all of them have been worth the drive and this one was no different. I'll start with the reservations, they use Google reserve and it was easy peasy. The parking was plentiful. When we walked in were greeted by someone opening the door for us and by the hostess. I will warn you, that if hookah smoke irks your soul, this is not the spot for you at night. You may want to go in the daytime. But we were totally okay with it. It gives the vibes of hookah/sports bar/resturant. The music was was good. We were sat right away even with me forgetting to tell them I reserved seats. The customer service was AMAZING. I never had so many people check on me. The mangers checked on us throughout the night. They genuinely cared what we thought of everything. Our hostess Kiara was on point. She made great recommendations and provided awesome service. Now to the food! So the menu is limited, but they have all the staples you would usually see at a BO resturant. We started with the seafood eggrolls. They were soo good! We tried to be bouji and eat them with a fork but we let our inner hood out and picked them thanks up! Lol! So it was entree time. From the tik tok videos we already knew we wanted the Decky which is the stuffed fish...but what we didn't know is that it was 42.00!!! So after alot of prayer we decided to split the dish and add some wings since everybody there looked like they had wings. The fish was awesome. The wings were great too and you get alot of them. If I had to give a small bit of criticism it would be to make sure the rice under the fish is smoking hot like the fish. All of the other food came out smoking! The drinks were good too. The sidecar was on point and I loved the taste of the martini. I believe they open around 5pm and close at 2am. They open earlier on Sundays for brunch. Come conformable, dress code is not strict. This spot is definitely worth a revisit when I happen to be rolling through the nawf!

    Disappointed with the Music Selection at a Country Venue:…read more I want to start by acknowledging Mike from Business Customer Service for his response--it was appreciated, though not quite what I was hoping for. My girls and I enjoy a wide range of music and frequently visit hip hop, salsa, and country clubs. However, on this particular night, we intentionally chose a country club/saloon because we were in the mood to listen and dance to country music--not hip hop. If we had been looking for hip hop, there are plenty of other venues that cater to that. What was disappointing was that the music did not align with the country theme that the club advertises. From my experience and from reading other reviews, I'm clearly not the only customer who feels this way. I've visited country clubs in both California and Austin, and they stay true to their brand by playing country music exclusively. If diversification is the goal, it might be worth reconsidering how the venue is marketed because branding as a country club sets a specific expectation. A few weeks ago, a group of us visited from Austin on a Saturday and left disappointed for the same reason. We're giving it another try this Friday, hopeful that the experience will better reflect the country vibe we're looking for. If it does, I'll be more than happy to update this review with a well-deserved 5 stars.

    YEEHAW! BULL RIDING, LINE DANCING, AND MORE!!! 03/03/24…read more I recently celebrated my friend's birthday here at this establishment. It was my first time visiting a country club and I must say I had the most fabulous time ever! There was country music and line dancing galore! The overall ambiance and vibe of the club was raging with excitement and pure energy. It's absolutely enormous inside and there's more than one bar available at this establishment. With all the many dancers crowding the dance floor, it's a good thing this place is humongous. However, the ironic thing about all that space is that there's extremely limited seating availability provided; that is if you have not reserved a table for a birthday party. It seemed like every table was reserved for a party because my daughter and I walked every inch of that club and could not find an available table to sit at because they were all reserved for a party. However, there were plenty of seats around the dance floor, but they were taken as well. So, my advice would be to reserve a table in advance even if you are not celebrating a birthday party. This will at least ensure that you have somewhere to sit and rest your feet after leaving the dance floor. My friend, the birthday girl, did not reserve a table for her party thinking that there would be abandoned tables in the building. Big huge mistake. Furthermore, we ordered drinks all night because the prices were inexpensive. Be prepared to leave tips for the bartender if they truly deserve the tip. As I mentioned previously, there is more than one bar in this establishment. At the bar located to the immediate right as you first enter the entrance doors, there was a blonde haired female bartender and a Latino male bartender working that particular area. Both of them were unfriendly and unwelcoming. I could literally feel the ice-cold energy flowing through their veins. My daughter and I were asking them if they had any good suggestions for us since we really didn't know what we wanted to drink. We tried placing our order with the male bartender first who would not speak up for us to understand him. We asked him what drinks were on the menu for the night and he kept repeating something that we could not understand and he kept a monotone vibe as if he didn't care for us ordering at his bar. As a result, my daughter and I turned to the female bartender in hopes that she would be a little friendlier. She wasn't any better. She acted as if she did not know what to suggest from their own drink menu. She asked us what we wanted to drink and I responded to her, "Ma'am we are asking you and the gentleman for any suggestions because we are indecisive at the moment." She kept acting like a "dumb blonde" as if she did not know what to suggest so we just asked for a lemon drop which was okay. It wasn't strong at all and watery. I left her a tip and moved along. I was not pleased at all with the way they treated us. As a result of the lackadaisical bartenders at the first bar, my daughter and I decided to move to the back of the building and visit the other bar. This bartender was on and popping! He was very entertaining, friendly, and welcoming. He also had a mini chalkboard on display that listed the featured drinks of the night. Now this is what I was asking the other two unfriendly and unwelcoming bartenders about their featured drinks on the menu because they did not have a menu on display, or even offer a menu, or even suggest that we scan a QR code to see the drinks menu. Keep in mind this was my first time and my daughter's first time visiting this place so we were kind of lost. However, the other bartender is located directly in the back. When you first enter the doors you can see him working hard mixing and shaking drinks and serving the crowd like a professional mixologist. He was down-to-earth friendly and relatable. I spent all my dollars and tip money at his bar for the rest of the night and I purchased plenty of drinks all night. If I ever return to this establishment I will never patronize the other two bartenders. They need to stay at home because they do not know how to entertain their guests properly. Overall, Whiskey River is an exciting and fun place to be on a Friday or Saturday night if you want to dance or even ride the bull. Bull riding was fun but impossible to stay on during the whole ride. You will get thrown off no matter what. From the looks of the bull, it seems as if it's designed for you not to be able to stay on. Everyone gets thrown off no matter how hard you try to stay on, but it was so much fun! The dance floor is a nice size but can get overcrowded. The food is absolutely delicious, especially the beef quesadillas. Be prepared to show your ID before entering the building. There's a bouncer at the door asking the guests to show identification before being admitted. Would have given 5 stars if it hadn't been for the two rude bartenders' sore attitudes.
