i love trying new ramen spots and i absolutely enjoyed dining in here! i've been wanting to try this spot for a while and was excited to try it. they offer a brunch deal where you get two appetizers and two ramen bowls for $40, which is a great deal! i ordered the spicy tonkotsu and it was just the right amount of spice. you can get your spice level betwee 0-10 and i got a 3. im normally a medium spice person and the spice level here is spicier than other places. i loved the pork in the soup, as it was the perfect flavor for the soup! i also appreciated that it came with a whole egg instead of the half egg that some places provide. we also got the salmon tacos and brussels sprout tempura. i was seated in the patio and it was perfect for the summer breeze. this is located in a plaza with many shops, so you can find parking in the structure. perfect to walk around after a yummy meal. the staff is very friendly and there was no wait on a Saturday around the afternoon. the staff was also helpful in their recommendations and answered all my questions confidently. i would definitely dine here again! read more

Haven't been here for a couple of years but totally glad I stopped by Jinya to get some ramen in a hurry. There wasn't that many customers inside so I got seated right away. They have a beautiful patio area with a fire pit and plenty of inside seating too. From appetizers like karaage, salad and edamame to rice bowls and mini tacos, they have it all! Kaarage had big pieces and enough for two people to share. I enjoyed this more than the ramen personally becuse it filled me up. I got their Jinya chicken ramen which is super light and simple. The portion is a little too small for me, it left me hungry and wanting to get an appetizer! Price felt too high for how much food I was getting. Parking here is easy in the 2nd & PCH lot, with two hours of free parking. read more

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 read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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! read more

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. read more

Didn't love this place. I've been to other JINYA locations and have loved the food so I was excited to pop in here for happy hour/late lunch. I got a salad and it was mostly just lettuce and dressing and unfortunately wasn't good. The dressing was lacking flavor and salad needed more than 1 cucumber and 3 tiny pieces of tomato as toppings to offset the bitter lettuce taste. I didn't finish it. I also got the tuna crispy rice which was really good / like I remember but unfortunately made my stomach upset not long after eating. The floors especially in the bathroom were sticky and didn't leave me feeling like the establishment was clean. I don't think I'll be back. read more

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. read more

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. read more

JINYA Ramen Bar - 2nd and PCH - Ramen Near Me - Long Beach, California

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. read more

Random stop! Food was delicious! -Appetizer as my meal Miso Glazed Eggplant Lots of noticeable spices in every bite! A bit too oily! But still delicious! - JINYA Tonkatsu Black Husband's meal Very satisfying to the palate! Yes, i took a bite or two! Service could use a little attention! Timing and wait time was off! Side note- was told lunch has only one server/hostess! So go when it first opens! Even with 6 tables (9 guests) was a lot for server to keep up with! There is are lunch specials! Decor was appealing though It is a franchise! read more

Food was good, but the service really missed the mark. We came on a Sunday around 2 PM when the restaurant was maybe half full and still had to wait about 15 minutes just to get seated. We ordered the Tonkotsu Red, which tasted great once it finally arrived, but it took around 30 minutes for the ramen to come out. On top of that, the appetizer we ordered still hadn't even come out by the time we got our food. The food itself saved the experience, but the wait times and lack of service made it frustrating overall. read more

Great food but always issues with their orders. Triple check your order for your own good. I double checked mine just 30mins ago while picking up my food after a trip to the beach and the server reassured me that my 3 seasoned eggs were in there but 2 of them were squeezed into a small container and the 3rd was in the bigger container as usual. I double checked the smaller container and saw 2 eggs in there so i trusted that the 3rd one was in the big container only to drive 30 mins home and find out it was not. I called them and the person who picked up the phone didnt seem to care much and just asked if id like to speak to the manager, however, im not driving back 30mins just to pick up the 1 egg they charged me for and didnt give me. Smh. triple check your orders here! read more

JINYA Ramen Bar is easily one of my favorite ramen spots. The modern ambiance gives the place a really cool and welcoming vibe, perfect for lunch or dinner. The service was excellent, everyone was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had a great experience. The Jinya Chicken Ramen was absolutely delicious. The broth was rich and flavorful, the chicken was tender, and everything tasted fresh and perfectly balanced. Definitely a 5/5 experience and a spot I'll keep coming back to! read more

I ordered their original ramen and their chasu chicken rice. The ramen, especially, was over the top salty. It must've been prepared by the same cook. If I ever come back, I'll let them know to hold the salt. The rice? It was fine, but I don't think ground chicken works. I like the concept of an alternative to pork, but.... The chicken was a tad dry. Service was lackluster. My table was piling up of dishes and wrappers, but it wasn't removed until the end of my dining experience. I still gave an 18% cash tip, but I wished the staff was a bit more attentive. Also, they do not validate for parking. Kind of a bummer because I was only there to eat; which took 45 minutes. The establishment is located on one end of the 2nd and PCH outdoor shopping center. read more

The host is very helpful, super attentive, not just us, but to other people in the restaurant, even with a large crowd outside . Portions are a great size and amazing and taste !

Food- Red ramen bowl- disclaimer-people will not like this if they aren't into spicy or fatty flavors. I very much enjoyed it. Rich in natural pork flavor and spice level of my choice. Well executed and very easy on the eyes. Karaage with perfectly crunchiness and depth of flavor with the simple soy dip. Value- They do nickel and dime you for the sides, which i dont appreciate. 2 SMALL pieces of extra pork for $3.50, really?? I get that the location is expensive, but this is overboard. You got me at tonkatsu, but drove me away with with sheepish attitude. Japanese restaurant without japanese traditions. Service - excellent and not overbearing. Restroom - clean Parking- free for 90 minutes Beer selection- minimally boring read more

After a wonderful Yelp Elite Experience at nearby LATHER Long Beach, it was time to enjoy lunch. I was so excited to spot JINYA Ramen Bar so close by. My mom and I both love ramen and so this looked to be the perfect lunch spot after a nice spa session. JINYA Ramen Bar's menu is quite extensive. They've got appetizers, rice bowls and ramens. The ramen selection is a nice variety and consists of beef, chicken, pork vegan. I was surprised that they even have beef Birria ramen! I was definitely tempted to try the Birria ramen because I love Birria but when I spotted the Tan Tan Men, I knew I had to go with this as it is one of my favorite ramen types. My mom chose to get the JINYA Tonkotsu Black. Another surprise was we got to enjoy a free appetizer for liking their Facebook page. We chose to get their Brussels Sprouts Tempura. I love Brussels sprouts and tempura and this was the perfect pairing. These came out piping hot and the tempura batter was so crisp. I really enjoyed this but my one dislike was it was a tad salty. With just a little bit less salt, it would definitely be perfect. The appetizer was great but the ramens were the star! Our ramens were delicious. I couldn't resist trying a little bit of the broth of my mom's JINYA Tonkotsu Black. The pork broth was rich and tasty. I also really loved how this ramen had one large flavored egg. So good! Equally as delightful was my Tan Tan Men. It had the right hint of spice from the chili oil and chili sesame seeds. It was so savory. I would definitely get this again. I'm really happy I got to check out JINYA Ramen Bar today. This definitely is up there in my list in terms of my food and delicious ramen! read more

Ambiance- 5 The place is sizable, outside seating that includes seating around a gas fire. Inside has tables and a bar below the kitchen. Service was great with the server offering to explain the extensive menu. A great touch to a new customer. Food- 4 overall We came for lunch. They offer lunch specials that are a great deal. Drink, main and a side for $20. Appetizers- 3 Crispy rice w/ spicy tuna topped with Serrano pepper. This was fine but I would try something else on another visit. We also ordered the Jinya Bun. I've been ordering these more to see differences and the manic of them since they seem so popular. So I'm new to this dish, steamed bun with pork greens & Kewpie mayo. The pork was flavorful but the steamed bun was tasteless to me. Maybe that's how it's supposed to be? I'll keep trying them, but I also would skip this one upon a return visit for another appetizer or small bite offering. Main dishes- We ordered the Tonkotsu Original 2010, ramen w/pork broth & chashu, he. Onion, spinach, egg & xtra thick noodles. Seaweed garnish. Overall great flavor, but a tad overly salted. For the side I ordered the crispy chicken. It was fried chicken. Not much seasoning to it so it was pretty plain. Comes with ponzu sauce. We also had Jinya Tonkotsu Black ramen. Also pork both & chashu based with gr/onion, egg with thin noodles. This dish is a garlic inspired if you like the flavor. Both my husband and son enjoyed it. A great spot in the shopping center off of 2nd & PCH. read more

We tried this ramen even tho I have a go go to ramen. The tonkotsu ramen broth was really good flavor. A tad bit saltier. But the thick noodle was cooked really perfectly The chicken ramen was good but so spicy broth not as flavorful as the original tonkotsu. we also ordered garlic shrimp egg rolls. That was quite disappointing. Lack flavor and it's just two cigarette size shrimp egg rolls. No sauce and it was paired with salt. Not sure why.

My daughter and her husband ordered as combo so also had delicious small salad with fiber dressing and gyoza (daughter's with impossible meat). Tasted the gyoza was very tasty!

JINYA is the best place to go on cold November nights. Their ramen warms you right up. We always order the same thing: Brussels Sprouts tempura, JINYA bun (less mayo), and we share a Tonkatsu black ramen. The flavors of each item were consistent every time we come. I wish there were a JINYA located closer to OC but since there isn't one, this 2nd street LBC location is the best. Their space is clean and the service was fine. Everyone worked as a team to help get us fed and full by the time our 90 minute free parking expired. Thanks for another wonderful meal, JINYA team! read more

Food 10/10 favorite ramen spot at the moment, service today was a 0. I got the original Jinya ramen which is always so perfectly rich and savory. Pork chashu is so buttery melting in your mouth every s i n g l e time. Never skips a beat. Not to mention the egg how each time they get the gooeyness just right! This night jinya wasn't busy at all there was hardly anyone in there and maybe that's the reason why the service was bad. We waited quite some time outside before anyone saw us to help us out they have a "wait here to be seated" although there wasn't anyone in sight for a while. We didn't mind it too much until we realized the pattern throughout the night. Normally someone else will come to your table and asks for allergies and as I say "mushrooms" they ask whoever I'm with if they would like their mushrooms in their dish, on the side, or none at all, if their dish has any. This time they asked me but not my friend. His dish came with mushrooms so he just picked it out and placed it on a plate away from me. No biggie. But we only got asked once if everything was great, we kept having to flag down random staff for water, sauces that they took away, and also to order more chashu. I waited for it to eat with my ramen but after 25 minutes I flagged someone down to ask and they said they forgot about it and that they'll bring it out soon. By then my ramen was so cold and decided to cancel the chashu and ask for a to go. They felt bad and included extra chashu without charging. I've been here plenty of times for a couple years now and never experienced this. It was a quiet Sunday night wasn't too loud or crowded at all. read more

I'm not a ramen expert, but I liked what I got here, which was the pork tonkotsu with spice level of 2. I like spicy food, and "2" brought plenty of fire, and sweat! The upper eschalons must be like an episode of Hot Ones! The service was attentive at first, but tapered off when it came time for paying the bill, and I was left sitting there for several minutes during the middle of the afternoon, with hardly anyone else there, until someone came and took my payment. Hence the one-star deduction. Not sure I'll be back, but not a bad experience. read more

It was a bit chilly the evening we came, so we sat at the bar top area facing the chefs. I wasn't too hungry so I ordered the vegetarian ramen.
