    I can't wait to come back here. Every dish we ordered was phenomenal. The Ramens broth was so flavorful. Crispy rice was so fresh. Fried rice was delicious, also flavorful. We had shrimp tempura tossed in a sauce as an appetizer ( can't remember the name ) but literally everything was fire. Ambience was dope and the service was also super inviting, and helpful in selections. Overall great experience 5/5 across the. Across the board

    Wait wasn't long but definitely noticed every table but our own had our drinks served in plastic cups. At first I thought it was due to shortage but the table next to us had their drinks served in glass cups. The server didn't even acknowledge or try to replace it. The couple had sodas served in glass and we had plastic. The fries were too salty as well. Just a little held back by this kind treatment. I can't say I'm all that pleased.

    This restaurant was very popular late I tot he evening, and they were severely understaffed. That being said, there's a reason why this spot is so busy - their ramen is great! We got the spicy ramen, which packs a flavorful punch. It's a moody romantic environment, and there's a nice fire pit for outdoor seating.

    This was our first time trying this Japanese ramen spot, and we came here to continue celebrating my birthday with our cousins. It was such a sweet treat from them, and I truly appreciated getting to spend this special time together with family. The appetizers were definitely the highlight! The salmon tacos and spicy tuna tacos were absolutely delicious, and everything else we tried from the menu was full of flavor. The drinks were also amazing and added to the fun experience. We ordered two dissent bottles of sake and it was sooo smooth and tasty! Super love!!! I do have to say, I was expecting a little more from the ramen itself. It was good, but for a ramen place, I was hoping it would be a little more flavorful and memorable. Overall, we had a wonderful time. The appetizers, drinks, and other dishes we ordered were delicious, and the atmosphere made it a great place to celebrate. After dinner we walked around the outdoor mall area and enjoyed some ice cream together. It was such a fun continuation of my birthday celebration filled with good food, laughter, meaningful conversation and quality time with family.

    1230pm on a Saturday...food still took 45 mins.

    We originally planned to have lunch at A PCH, but after seeing the wait there, we decided to try this restaurant instead because it looked nearly empty. We figured that with so few customers, we'd be able to enjoy a quicker, more relaxed lunch. Unfortunately, that assumption couldn't have been more wrong. After placing our order, we waited approximately 45 minutes for our food to arrive. As the minutes continued to pass, I actually started writing this review while still waiting for our meal. During that time, I also took the opportunity to read through other customer reviews. I noticed that several other diners had mentioned similarly long wait times, which made me realize our experience may not have been an isolated incident. Overall, while the food was enjoyable, the experience simply didn't justify the amount of time we spent waiting. If you're looking for a quick or even reasonably paced lunch, I'd recommend dining somewhere else. On the other hand, if you're willing to wait 45 minutes or more for your food and don't mind a slower-paced experience, you may still enjoy the meal once it arrives. The restaurant clearly has the ability to produce decent food, but until the wait service and kitchen timing improve, it's difficult for me to recommend it based on the overall dining experience.

    Went out for a few hours to celebrate our wedding anniversary, and we tried out this spot at @2nd_pch I loved the ambiance of @jinyaramenbar right when we walked in. So glad we went at a great time where it wasn't busy and overwhelming. I appreciated the helpfullness of our waitress, down to recommendations and service. The LYCHEETINI was entertaining and delicious! My husband loved the SALMON POKÉ MINI TACOS as much as I loved the CRISPY RICE WITH SPICY TUNA. We both enjoyed the GARLIC RICE that was served on a hot plate that got the rice crispy and yummy. The JINYA TONKOTSU BLACK was devoured by the both of us as well. They have several locations and, make sure you check before you go, but they have happy hour on the weekends and that's a plus right there!

    Really I'm pressed by the quality, value, and service of this ramen spot. Tonkatsu black ramen is super flavorful with chewy noodles. Tonkatsu original has thicker noodles and heartier broth which I was actually a bigger fan of. Let's talk about this value pick kids meal though. Chicken ramen, chicken chashu rice bowl, chicken karaage, fries, and ice cream for under $15? Say less. My kid enjoyed it and so did I. They have an app too to reward you with food from accruing points and it's super easy to sign up!

    Came here on Valentine's Day with my husband and son. No wait right around 12 so it was perfect! We got seated right away. My husband ordered the black tonkatsu and I ordered the classic tonkatsu. we also ordered the kids meal for our son which was $11. The classic tonkatsu came with a thicker broth that was heavier in flavor and had thicker noodles. I wasn't a fan because I like my ramen broth on a thinner side and don't want the flavor to be too overpowering. The black tonkatsu was much more my speed. It was that familiar tonkatsu ramen that I like with black garlic oil. It definitely had more fixing which was nice for my husband, but I'm a "Chashu, spinach, and nori" kind of gal so the fixings were all scooped into my husband's mouth haha The kids meal was also amazing. There was a small bowl of chicken ramen, a bowl of Chashu rice, 2 pieces of karaage, and fries. On top of that, we had a lollipop and ice cream at the end. It was super filling for $11 and we ended up taking home leftovers. The ice cream was really good though! Definite bang for your buck to come here. We were super pleased with the service as well.

    Ambiance: it's JINYA ramen's location at 2nd & PCH shopping center in Long Beach, packed bar and dining room inside, and a patio outdoor Service: the staff members are friendly but very slow, it took about forty minutes to get seated, and then another half an hour to get the food served Food: standard JINYA ramen menu Premium Tonkotsu Red - **** Pork broth, pork chashu, kkurage, green onion, seasoned egg, nori dhied seaweed, red hot chili ol and spicy bean sprouts, served with thick noodles, choice of preference of spice level at 5 out of 10, and it's already pretty spicy, bold taste and chewy noodles, recommend JINYA Bun - *** Steamed bun stuffed with siow-braised pork chashu, cucumber and baby mixed greens, served with JINYA's original bun sauce and mayonnaise, plain taste Price: moderate protons and decent quality, expect $25~$30 per person

    I've had Jinya twice, once to go and most recently to dine in. The service was good, but took 30 minutes to get seated at the bar. It seems like they're understaffed on the floor. The 5 piece Crispy Chicken and Premium Tonkotsu Red Ramen with level 3 spice were both very delicious. The chicken was definitely crispy, so I submerged a few pieces in the ramen, which made it more decadent. The staff is friendly & cool and I would return for happy hour. Lastly, structure parking is free for 90 minutes and costs $2 for every 20 minutes after.

    Chicken Yuzu Shio Delight Ramen
    Nicole C.

    12/10/25 - Our server, Chris, had really good customer service and had good energy even though it was the end of the night. I appreciated his honesty when we asked for his recommendations and for what dishes were better than others. I ordered the Chicken Yuzu Shio Delight Ramen ($18.20). I liked how the broth was citrusy and light but the flavor of the chicken wasn't great. I am not the biggest fan of ramen and am rarely impressed by ramen places. The chicken ramen wasn't bad but it didn't make a lasting impression and, in my opinion, was overpriced. My friends ordered the Jinya Tonkotsu Black, one of the most popular ramens, which they said was pretty good so maybe I just didn't order the right thing.

    Marvin made our experience incredible as always. Surprised he isn't the manager. 15/10.

    Came here for their $29 brunch special and it was worth the drive. They open at 11AM. Best to go at opening because they tend to get really busy closer to noon. For our party of 12, this worked out well. We made a reservation and was seated as soon as more than half of our party was present. For $29, you get 2 small plates (appetizers) and one bowl of your choice of ramen. We ordered at least one of each appetizer so we can all try. The crispy chicken (karaage) and the pork gyoza were a hit, the Jinya pork belly bun was also good, but what surprised us the most was the brussels sprouts tempura. Not only was it battered perfectly, it was also well seasoned - must get this! Most of us opted for the Tonkotsu Black ramen since this seemed to be one of the only options with pork chashu. One of the best ramens I've ever had... creamy, delicious 20 HOUR broth, perfectly jammy eggs, tender chashu, and just the right balance of flavors. Option to also add $10 for bottomless mimosas with a 1.5 hr limit. We also got a few of their cocktails & Sapporo's. They have a condiment tray for gyoza sauce, hot sauce, & seasoning sauce (so so good). I was too shy to ask if they sold bottles of those because I would've totally bought a few. Good service. Delicious food. Great bang for your buck. Highly recommend.

Even though it is on fourth street which has plenty of street traffic, it was still a quiet, comfortable dining experience. Every thing on the menu looked and sounded amazing but I planned to try the ramen because I've been craving a good bowl of ramen for a while. I landed on the shoyu ramen with tofu. I really enjoyed the taste of the broth. The flavor and seasoning was soul-healing. I don't usually go with plain chicken broth in ramen but I felt confident in my choice. I was literally happy dancing with each bite. The ramen was so good! My partner went with a spicy order of tonkotsu ramen with chicken, garlic, and black oil sauce. I tried parts of it and it was also delicious! I wanted to try the sushi but did not have that big of an appetite for both sushi and ramen so I opted for the salmon poke tacos. They tasted very savory and the salmon was flavored really well. The temperature and consistency was not too overwhelming for the tacos shell. The service was attentive and not too invasive. We took the check to the counter to pay. I am excited for our next trip here. It is dangerously walking distance for us!

When she came back, she asked if we were sitting outside, and when we said we were going to wait for an inside table, she rudely responded, "Then wait outside," and walked away. We hadn't even been seated or ordered yet, and we were already being treated so disrespectfully. We understand that restaurants can be busy, but there is no reason to speak to customers or treat them this way. The way we were treated right when we walked in says a lot about the customer service and overall atmosphere of the establishment. Definitely not the welcoming experience we expected.

I believe management was not being honest regarding my question about being a Michellin Star rated restaurant. How are you in management and dont know the status of your own restaurant? Honesty is the best policy. Good thing, food was good and everyone was friendly. Overall, i would come back because the food is good and the place does not get crowded.

We had the moo package which is primarily beef. There were various appetizers to try and the package was more than enough for 5 of us. Ambiance is pretty relaxed, you get your usuals or people new to KBBQ. The staff are knowledgeable and friendly, happy to explain anything so you don't have to be a KBBQ pro to dine here. The service is good, better when it's busier since they check in more frequently. When it's slower you may have less check-in's from the staff, probably due to less staff during slower hours.

Didn't give us menus until 10 minutes after Sitting down. Didn't come back to take our drinks, by the time she did come to ask for our drinks. We already had our whole order ready so ordered at once. Mind you the restaurant was empty besides one family finishing up and we asked for a two Ramen with toppings like vegetables on the side. And she says OK. Puts the order n and comes back with our Ramen full of all the toppings and walks away. We proceed to look confused because we asked for a toppings on the side and she did not come back until we're taking off all of the toppings When she comes back, she brushes it off like it was no problem and gives us terrible attitude for the rest of the time like we put the toppings on our own Ramen. She asked if everything is OK despite messing up our order. we had to sit there for 10 extra minutes, taking out all the vegetables and stuff that we asked for all of the side. My only problem was that she's proceeded to charge us full price, and we had to pay for food that we couldn't enjoy fully because what we asked for was not given to us. And it was overcharged food that wasn't great or worth paying that much after getting our order messed up.

    A pretty good local ramen place with very kind staff! It's not where you'd go for authentic…read moreJapanese ramen but it does a great job still. I got the vegetable miso ramen with spice level 2. It wasn't too spicy but I could also do without it because it was more of a numbing rather than flavorful spice. The regular noodles are a little thin but they're plentiful! There was a part that was kind of clumped together in my soup though. The broth was more just savory and salty but nothing really stood out as miso or anything different. I appreciate that they have a fair amount of bok choy and bean sprouts. And the tofu was really good too! It was covered in tempura so was almost agedashi-like but they only did give 2 pieces. Our waiter, Hector, was helpful, kind and continually attentive so shoutout to him! Prices are reasonable for ramen too. Glad I got to try!

    Cute interior for a ramen shop. Beautiful wood accents and neon signs bring the vibe to life…read more Service was great. The food is better than average. Ramen competition in LB is stiff. Cucumber salad was the only fresh/light vegetable option on the menu. Decent but nothing to write home about. Ramen had solid flavor. I like that you can pick your spice level. The pork was fatty and delicious. I wish they put less noodles. I did order the thick ones which cost a bit more but the ratio was WAYY off. My bowl was 75% noodles which didn't leave room for much soup and the fillings were lost in the mix. I had enough left overs for a full second serving - so great to share!
