    Jinya Tonkotsu Black Ramen
    Ryan B.

    Ramen was fantastic, server was attentive, inside is dark and mellow. Loved everything about it. I know I'm being blunt, but that's the truth. It's a great place that I'm definitely going to come back to.

    Spicy Chicken Ramen and brussels sprouts
    Andre A.

    If you have read any of my reviews, you know that I'm biased to ramen, but this place doesn't need any extra kudos to be good. From its great location in Reston Town Center to the staff, JINYA is a top-notch chain ramen restaurant. I frequent this place a lot if I'm in the mood for good food at a respectable price with excellent vibes. The staff are warm and welcoming, and I've never had a bad experience. I usually only get one of two ramen, and today's choice was the Spicy Chicken (spice level Hot). I paired that with the chicken and salad on the side and used my points to get Brussels Sprouts Tempura (more on points later). All three were excellent per usual, lol. Even though it's the hottest level you can get, it's far from overwhelming, and the Brussels Sprouts are a must-have. I highly suggest anyone that frequents a JINYA location to get the free app and stack points; trust me, it's worth it, lol. Other than the Spicy Ramen, I highly recommend the Birria Ramen. It's a fairly new item, but it's also a must if you like Birria.

    I was greeted and seated right away. The bartender got me my choice of beverage immediately. I looked through the menu, and picked Tan Tan Ramen. It came out pretty fat and was tasty. It got busy and it took a while to get attention to check out. Otherwise it was fine.

    Birria Ramen was delicious
    Jessica R.

    Our waitress was kind and helpful, going through the menu since it was our first time. She pointed out her favorites, as well as, dishes that were popular. My husband enjoyed the spicy chicken ramen and I thought the birria Ramen was tasty. My daughters, 3 and 8 years old, had the kids meal. The kids menu was awesome. It came with ramen, a small rice bowl with chicken and pork, crispy chicken, French fries, salad, and orange slice, a lollipop, and a scoop of vanilla ice cream. I wish I could have ordered that! we shared an order of pork gyoza. Super tasty and tender juicy. I'd like to come back to try more and have a cocktail.

    This rating is based almost entirely on the Birria Ramen, which was fantastic. It is a unique blend that works great as a ramen bowl and I loved every bite. However the green tea was nothing special, just a typical store-bought teabag. The atnosphere is trendy-casual, but everything feels overpriced for a simple bar-focused food spot. The service was ok but not great. The selection of ramen and rest of the menu feels like it needs more variety. If the birria ramen wasn't as good as it was I would give 3 stars.

    JINYA Bun

    We visited here on a whim during our stopover. Our waiter was more than helpful. I tried the JINYA Tonkotsu Black and my friend tried the Wonton Chicken Ramen. We enjoyed them both and this was just what we needed on a cold day. We also tried the Edamame and JINYA bun as starters. We order 2 Jinya buns as one order only includes one piece. The pork was a bit on the tough side, and not as tender, but it had a good taste to it. Overall, it was a pleasant visit and we were satisfied. There was plenty of seating indoors and the noise level was moderate.

    My wife and I decided to go checkout the Jinya in Reston Town Center since we were in the area and absolutely love Ramen. We went on a Sunday which was perfect because it wasn't crowded in the restaurant at all. We started with drinks and both ordered the Malibu Sunrise which was very tasty. We ordered the Crispy Chicken as an appetizer and we both ordered the Birria Ramen as our entree. The Crispy Chicken was excellent! It was nicely fried, juicy, and well seasoned. The sauce that came with it only added to it. My wife and I usually get the Shrimp Wonton soup, but we decided to switch it up this time and try the Birria Ramen. The Birria Ramen was sooooo good that it had us both thinking why we hadn't tried it earlier. This instantly became our new favorite Ramen! I then ordered the Smokey Wokashi OF and my wife ordered the Ringo Mule. Both drinks came with a show as fire was involved to give the drink a smoky flavor. As great as the food was, the service here fell a bit short for us. The bartender there was our waiter and he did the best he could to try to manage the bar, make drinks for the restaurant, and also be a waiter at the same time, but it was too much. It was not many people in the restaurant when we first arrived so it was somewhat manageable. But the restaurant slowly got more crowded during our time there and it was no way the bartender could keep up with the amount of people there to essentially do 3 jobs. Im not sure if they are short on waiters and understaffed, or maybe someone called out. But, we had to constantly flag him down for things whenever he wasn't busy and had a break from all of the other things he was doing. This is no fault of the bartender, but the fault of the establishment for not having enough waiters to the point where the bartender has to play double if not triple duty. Hopefully this was a one off situation.

    Matcha lychee lemonade
    Siri S.

    Great raman in a hip and trendy atmosphere. I always love to get their Tonkatsu Black with thick noodles. Their broth is always so delicious and filled with umami. This time we also got the Tonkatsu Red- with spice level 4. I might get #3 next time, so it's not so spicy and I get to enjoy the broth more. We also enjoyed their Match lychee lemonade and Match tiramisu for dessert.

    1 spoon of beef for extra 5$. In mosaic Jinya we get half this bowl.

    Jinya is our favorite ramen place but I got to know it is only the Jinya located at mosaic district.we visited The reston location recently and found a huge difference in ramen flavor. I ordered the spicy chicken Ramen and the broth tasted like spinach blanched water and there were 4 bean sprouts and lots of plain noodles which didn't soak up flavor at all. We also got the garlic rice with biryabeef on side. The beef was 5$ extra and we were surprised to see 1 spoon quantity. We usually get the same order in Mosaic Jinya and let me tell you the taste is incomparable. Not coming back to the reston location.

    Jinya Tonkotsu Red
    Scott T.

    Amazing change of pace! My boss recommended it to me to try and it was absolutely a unique experience. I was sat at the bar as I was a party of one... but the bartender Ivan was super and very friendly. I debated having an appetizer the Bun looked fun, but I just wanted an icy cold beer and a nice dish to try. I started with reasonably priced Sapporo on draw which I have never had! Perfect... then Ivan helped me navigate the ramen dishes and I opted for the Tonkotsu Red at the 5 level out of 10 heat level. It was perfect as the more you ate the spicier the heat build. My first venture to a ramen bar and I enjoyed the dish! The pork slices and egg were very tasty. The flavors from the broth with the seaweed coupled with the fresh green onions made it something else. The bar was noisy and the lighting at the bar was tough had to use my phone flashlight lol! Definitely think I would come back and try something else off the menu even more unique!

    We went on a Monday shortly after they opened for lunch, so not too many people inside a restaurant. It was very quiet. Service was very friendly and attentive . We like the interior decor. It was modern and contemporary. Ramen was delicious so was gyoza. The sauce for the grilled vegetable was a bit too sweet. I truly enjoyed their Asian flavored cocktails, especially the matcha cocktail was made with fresh mixed Matcha right by the table side. That was a wonderful experience. Convenient location with street parking offered by the rest shopping area also nearby garage to access. Price is on the slightly pricey side, but comparable to the area . Looking forward to try this restaurant in different locations for comparison.

    I love the chicken wonton ramen here and the Bao buns. Literally my go to every time and the staff is very well informed and attentive to the customers needs. The ambiance of the restaurant is moody and edgy, which is a plus.

    If you are a ramen aficionado, keep looking. tonkatsu broth lacked depth. Ramen was nothing special. Service was good though.

Would I order again? : I would order again if I'm in the mood. When I was living in Philly, I used to love frequenting Cily Chicken Rice, which was also a Thai-style hainanese chicken rice spot. So, when I moved to NOVA, I was excited to find a similar restaurant nearby. Unfortunately, Kindi Chicken Rice isn't quite as good but it's still pretty decent. The ginger-garlic rice doesn't have enough garlic flavor and was a little dry. Also, I didn't like the ratio of chicken to rice; there was only six pieces of chicken for all the rice that was given. Lastly, the daikon soup had the classic peppery taste but lacked salt/umami flavor. But I did like that the daikon was sliced whereas the daikon in the Cily Chicken Rice soup is just one hunk of daikon.

We ultimately enjoyed our meal and will likely try it again the next time we need a change of pace from our go-to spot. The menu possesses a vast array of rolls, the majority of which hover between $15-18. Seeing the prices of the rolls and not knowing what to expect, we ended up ordering six, which ended up as too much food for the two of us. We found the rolls all well constructed and with generous quantities of the fish. The rice itself was passable. The sliced fish quality was decent, and we found the salmon and tuna particularly fresh. The "spicy" fish in the rolls left something to be desired in both the degree of spice/seasoning as well as freshness. The rolls all could have used a bit more saucing, but we enjoyed them nonetheless. The prices here are very reasonable, especially if you order online which yields a 10% discount. My order was prepared more or less on time. Overall, we liked what we sampled and will return in the near future to sample more rolls.
