This is THE BEST JINYA Ramen Bar, period! We've visited diff locations throughout the city and surrounding areas, and this one is by far our favorite. The appetizers, ramen, and entrées are always amazing, but most importantly, the customer service is unmatched! Every single team member surpasses expectations. We love how warmly we're greeted upon arrival and departure every time we visit! Special shoutout to our server, Ashley! She's the reason my husband and I are writing this five star review. Her customer service was truly five star, and the food was superb! Arigato, JINYA - The Woodlands! read more

One of the many Jinya Ramen locations, this one is in Spring and located in the same plaza as the Kroger by 99. The interior and menu are pretty consistent with other locations, so you know what to expect. With many new ramen spots popping up over the years, Jinya has been the more consistent option. While I'm not a big fan of the appetizers (too Asian fusion for my liking), the ramen flavors are reliable, quality is solid and you pretty much know you're getting the same experience every time. My go-to is the Tonkotsu Black, you really can't go wrong with it. read more

Quite disappointed on this trip Ordered the original ramen, the Broth was salty and fatty. Ordered the miso eggplant, not enough eggplant but had brussel sprouts and bokchoy. I was surprised with those. The crispy chicken was the only thing consistent from Jinya, it deserved the 2 stars. Service was up and down, mostly downs. 3 servers were chitchatting while customers were wondering what happened. read more

Delicious food and great atmosphere. A bit cramped on busy days, but still highly enjoyable. The food is always so good. Never a bad dish on their menu. Would totally recommend. read more

First time having Jinya, was delicious!! Got the spicy tuna crispy rice and the tan tan men. Only giving a 4/5 because I got it to go- I think would've been 5/5 if I had dined in!! Staff is super sweet and helpful. Will definitely be returning! read more

This is a takeout staple for my family for good reason. We don't dine in very often, but on the rare occasion we do, the service has always been stellar. At my most recent visit, our server, Jennifer, had such a great attitude. She was extremely knowledgeable about the menu, and gave helpful suggestions without being pushy at all. Though Jinya is known for their ramen, I actually prefer to order their rice bowls! The Pork Chashu is my favorite item here, and their Tokyo Curry Rice is amazing too. But at this point, I haven't yet gone wrong ordering anything else off the menu. - Ambiance: 5/5 - Food: 5/5 - Service: 5/5 read more

My boyfriend and I came here for dinner Sunday night around 7:30 and got seated immediately at the bar. My absolute favorite thing here is the spicy creamy vegan ramen with additional toppings of fresh garlic (free), seasoned egg ($2.50), and corn ($1.50). The broth is so flavorful and it all goes together so well. The addition of the fresh garlic, corn and egg make it so much better. I do wish the tofu was a bit seasoned, because on its own is bland. Although this place is super delicious, it is quite pricey. Two orders of ramen with a few additional toppings and an order of pork gyoza came out to $61. Still super delicious and perfect for a cold night read more

You should consider that I only got take-out ramen here, so it was probably not as good as eating there in person. You may want to take this review with a grain of salt! I got the black tonkotsu ramen ($17). The price was okay, the portion was okay, and the ramen was okay. The whole thing was mid. Later, my friend told me that Jinya the "McDonalds" of ramen shops and I should have gone elsewhere LMAO The "black" means that it had black garlic oil in it, but for some reason, there was not enough of that garlic flavor for me to justify calling it a "black" ramen. I don't know if the chopped garlic wasn't toasted enough or whether the amount of the black garlic oil was too little, but it wasn't garlicky enough. The broth was mild in flavor. It looked creamy enough, but maybe it was diluted down to stretch it more? I have a feeling that if you stuck the broth in the fridge, it wouldn't solidify (which is a clear indication that it's either been diluted down or the pork bones to make it weren't cooked long enough). We're in Houston, there are SO many good ramen places, so I wouldn't come back here again. Not awful, but not great, just meh. read more

We had a large group that was able to fit around the big table they have, along with 5 small kids. Our server was great and very patient with the kids. Highly recommend the kids meal as it came with a lot! The ramen was so good!! And the smoked old fashioned was great! read more

A great place to stop for a warm bowl of ramen. The staff was warm and attentive , and the environments lively and full.

Man, I gotta give this place some love! Though from LA, I'm now living in a Chicago suburb sans Jinya! I've been going to this place in LA for years so when I come to Houston? I know I gotta come. Fortunately, my hotel is down the street and I made my way there as soon as I could after getting out of the airport! Ambience is one thing but happy team members? Effusive and joyful team members? Man, that is another level! The guy who served me was spot on fantastic. I ordered a four piece impossible Gyoza with salad and a chicken Ramen- now let me tell you - attitude will make you smile, the taste of the food and the speed of the service? It will make you full and exceedingly happy! Guess which side of the equation I fell on? Love this place. Every time I come to Houston whether for business or pleasure? I'll be coming here until I move back to LA again that is- haha! Great teams make a difference- thanks for making us a memorable dinner, Jinya Ramen! And if I had gotten the name of the waiter? I would have named him here, but he was pretty great and deserves kudos! I only wish I knew they had a rewards program before I moved to Chicago! read more

Jinya Ramen Bar has been our 'bar' for ramen for so many years, back when we lived in Cypress and there was no Jinya Ramen bar close, we had to drive to Bellaire to get our Jinya ramen... then a Jinya opened within minutes of our house in Cypress, and then we moved... but not after becoming recognized regulars of that location. Now there are several Jinyas aound the Houston area, and even the one we have to drive to in Spring isn't too terrible a drive. My son and I love it. My husband thinks of it as an overpriced soup, but he has never been a fan of good food, give him a Big Mac and he is happy. SMH. Anyway, I will take this soup over every other soup / ramen between here and the Spring location, and trust me, there are several options if I were worried about that bit of distance. And now, even better, Jinya has a rewards program. I would definitely recommend Jinya over any other ramen place any day of the week. and some might say that this ' soup ' is overpriced, or maybe they would say it's too hot outside for ramen... not true. This is a delicious treat any day of the week in any temperature. Oh, and try their Jinya buns. read more

I go here when I want to treat myself. The food is consistently good. I've tried almost every ramen and appetizer. My favorites are the tonkatsu black and shrimp wonton ramen. The service is always good and they keep the place clean. read more

Visiting my bff and she highly recommends Jinya. We went on a weekday around 5pm. We were seated and greeted pretty quickly. Superb customer service. Our server was willing to answer our many questions related to the spice level. I decided to order level 6 (not wanting to pay another dollar for higher level of spiciness). It was just truly amazing. I love the heat, the authentic noodles, umami broth, plenty of veggies and the whole egg! Definitely coming back again before I leave town! Thanks to my lovely friend for taking me here! read more

Without a doubt, I love coming to this location! Every time I come in, the experience is always great as expected from the consistency of the food to the amazing service and cleanliness of the place. The apps have to be one of my favorite things to order other than the obvious, Edamame and Vegan tacos that are out of my norm but can appreciate the flavors to make something so tasty. The chicken Spicy ramen is my all time favorite, so spicy and yet tasty, perfect for a cool night. The service is always great, not sure why there is negative reviews about it but they seem to always be up to beat and happy, including the kitchen staff which their positivity reflects on the tasty food. This place is always a go-to that will full fill all my expectations. read more

Loove Jinya! My favorite is their sprouting up ramen, it has brussel sprouts, tonkotsu broth, chashu pork. It is so good and consistently made the same every time. All their food is good their cocktails are great one small part I don't love is that it can get really loud in there. Other than that Jinya is our go to spot for ramen. read more

I came here for a dinner with my sister and Dad to celebrate a new job offer, and the location threw us off. This Jinya is labeled as being in "The Woodlands", when it is technically still in Spring. Technicalities aside, this location was absolutely popping on a Saturday night, and to be honest, I'm not sure why. We were seated pretty quickly despite the crowds, but that did mean we had to sit at the bar...this didn't allow us to sit together around a table like a family, which was a bummer. What I did like was the variety of vegetarian and vegan options, including two delicious-sounding ramen bowls. I got the Flying Vegan Harvest, which was a giant bowl of ramen in a creamy broth full of tofu, broccolini, corn, onion, and Beyond Meat crumbles. The meal itself was delicious, One thing that seemed strange was that when we left, we weren't saluted with the loud "ARIGATO!" that almost all customers received when they left. At first, my family and I were wondering why the staff was shouting every 30 seconds. When we left, we didn't get the same "ARIGATO!" treatment, which we found strange since they seemed to be on it with every guest that left before us... read more

disappointed in my order for pick up today. I placed a pick up order for spicy chicken ramen with extra noodles. unfortunately It wasn't until after I paid and got home that I realized they gave me barely any broth for my ramen that has extra noodles. I wasnt expecting any extra broth since i didnt order that, but I was also not expecting to get a half filled container.. probably wont be back :/ read more

I visited with friends on a Friday evening, and we had a great time. We ordered the crispy chicken and crispy rice with spicy tuna for appetizers. They were really tasty. For dinner, I ordered the shrimp wonton ramen, and it was AMAZING. Service was okay and could've been better, but it was a busy Friday evening and the restaurant was a bit chaotic, so it's understandable. I also loved their drink menu. My friends had several cocktails and all of them enjoyed their selections. The food was delicious and fairly priced. The restaurant quieted down a bit later into the evening and I enjoyed the ambiance. I've been to different JINYA locations and this one was the best I've been to so far. I will definitely be returning! read more

1. Service - Our waitress was pretty on top of things. She checked up on us and refilled as needed. You wait to be seated, order and pay at your table. I don't understand why everyone is screaming in Japanese throughout the meal. I guess it's a tradition to welcome people or say thank you. It was a bit disturbing in my opinion. 2. Price - Inexpensive, Ramen was about $12-$13 a bowl. However, it can add up if you order a lot of side dishes. 3. Ambiance - High ceilings, very cool atmosphere. Definitely a good spot to hang with friends or bring a date. Dress code is casual. 4. Food - The display of food was very presentable. I do recommend their JINYA BUN. That was tasty. I'm not quite sure if I like my Wonton Chicken Ramen. Will have to try something more traditional next time, like the TONKOTSU SPICY RAMEN. I've had that in other locations, and that has always been pretty satisfying. 5. Cleanliness - Clean dining area, same with the restrooms. read more

Excellent service from Nicholas (5064) and recommendation for making the new chicken wings "extra crispy" - delicious. Got the spicy Tonkatsu and he brought an extra lil bowl of prepared hot sauce. So fun to add. And he let me know it disnt come with an egg so I added... BEST EGG EVER. His rapport with every customer was light, fun, and cheerful. What a delightful addition to Jinya. I stopped here a couple months ago after a meeting before an hour drive back to NASA area. And it is so worth stopping. What a great and well run restaurant. read more

We have eaten at a Jinya in Houston before. We expected great ramen fun atmosphere and energetic wait staff. This location did not disappoint. We sat at the bar and found the friendly bartender to be so refreshing. Drinks were great, beer perfect temp and they had my wife's favorite white peach saki! Prompt service of our ramen which was well described by our server. Not a 5 due to high prices over $70 for 2 bowls of ramen 1 beer and 1 saki. read more

I have only ever been to this JINYA location, but it is so cute and clean inside! The restaurant is on the smaller side and was surprisingly busy for a Wednesday night. We were lucky to grab a spot at the high top before a large party came in behind us. The service overall was great - the food came very quickly and the waiter was very helpful and attentive. Everything my friends and I ordered was AMAZING! I got the JINYA Tonkotsu Black, which I highly recommend. The broth was seasoned really well, and the egg was cooked perfectly. I am kind of picky when it comes to noodles and I thought they were also cooked very nicely. My friends ordered the Chicken Ramen and the Tonkotsu Original - both were also delicious. I will definitely be coming back to try the other ramens on the menu. read more
