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

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!

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!

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.

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!

I had this wonderful wonton shrimp noodle

Love the ramen! Great place for ramen and beer. Service is always great. Our waiter Vincent was very nice and very attentive. The ramen portions are big and their kids meal is really good for the little ones.

Amount of food in to go containers.

I had a delivery of food from Grub Hub and the amount of ramen delivered was maybe half of what they serve in the restaurant, for the same price. Very disappointing.

half filled broth container :(

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 :/

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...

Spicy umami miso ramen
Tracy O.

What a wonderful experience!! Great food, fun atmosphere, and our waiter was very helpful as this was our first time. I had the spicy umami miso chicken ramen, and it was delicious. Great bar service as well.

The food was very good!…read more I was hesitant at first because some of the menu seemed to be fusion items. In a place like Houston, where you can get authentic Vietnamese food, this can be a luck draw if the fusion pays off. However, when I tried the food, it was a very flavorful and worth every cent I spent. Everything was very tasty. The wings were flavorful and crisp. It had a combination of crispy skin seasoned with a rich sauce. The meat was also moist. For a party of two, it was also very shareable because they gave six pieces -both drums and wings. I will say that you really gotta to get in there get your hands and face dirty though! (They did provide a hand wipe!) For the main dishes, the won tonic soup was very flavorful with sweet-and-sour elements with egg noodles that soaked up all this good flavor. The wontons inside were very standard. And the onion was added to provide some balance. Everything was very hardy and filling. My friend had gotten the vermicelli. Which came with crunchy egg rolls, shredded veggies, noodles, and shrimp topped with a fish sauce. It felt very light and refreshing with a balance of textures and savory elements'. Highly recommend as the number one and two selling dishes - it would just depend on if you're in a soup or dry noodle sort of mood. Service was overall fast and friendly. You have to pay by going to the counter. We had a newer waiter though, and it took him a long time to get our orders correctly and he had to get some help. Hopefully they're doing well, but overall, it's a very cute Homie little establishment. Seating fits around 30 around booths and tables.
