    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.

    Tan tan men, spicy tuna crispy rice

    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!

    You can't go wrong with the Chef's Special, the Creamy Tonkotsu Ramen! Rich, creamy, and packed with flavor. Definitely worth trying!

    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.

    I had this wonderful wonton shrimp noodle

    This is a late upload. My daughter and her boyfriend took me here for dinner and we had a good time. It was good and we enjoyed pir time. I will come back again-

    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!

    Do you have gluten free noodle options?

    No, I was told the only gluten free options are white rice and edamame.

    Do you make your own noodles?

    Hi Manuel M. Thanks for your inquiry. Jinya does not make noodles inside our restaurants. We have an dedicated company that makes our noodles exclusively for us each day… 

    What is the cost of a ramen bowl here?

    8-11 dollars. It depends if you want to add extra toppings.

Everything was absolutely delicious. The spice level was just right, the food was packed with flavor, and every bite had us planning what we'd order next time. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming from the moment we walked in. As a bonus, my kids arrived with zero chopstick skills and somehow left looking like seasoned pros. Meanwhile, I was still trying to keep up. Thankfully, our server came to the rescue with patience, encouragement, and fantastic service that made the whole experience even more enjoyable. Great food, great service, and happy kids? That's a winning combination in my book. 10/10, highly recommend. Don't scroll past this one--you deserve the ramen.

Food was delicious, staff was great. Looking forward to a return visit.

    Went to komeya today for the first time with my daughter, she got the maki lunch special and I got…read morethe spicy miso ramen. Mine came out later so forgot to take a pic. The Maki lunch special comes with 2 rolls, soup and salad. The soups and salad were a generous side, definitely more than you'd would get with a bento box. The salad was fresh and had the usual creamy ginger Japanese dressing, delish. For the maki bowls, they were a nice size, and are actually the normal sized rolls you would get from the menu for a spicy salmon and eel roll. I thought for price would be simple hand rolls with just fish and rice and wrapper, but these had cucumber or avocado, sauces and nicely filled. Deliscious eel, spicy salmon had a surprisingly different delicious flavor to it and nice kick. For the spicy miso ramen, it's actually their original tonkotsu with miso and spiciness mixed in. The waitress recommended as the best flavor and although I haven't tried any of their others, it did have nice flavor. Creamy, with layers of flavor and a nice mouth feel that coated your tongue with umami. I am a spicy fanatic, so for me wasn't very spicy, but with chili oil available on the table I could increase the spicy profile. The nice thing here is the ramen toppings aren't all extra so a great deal. Came with chashu, 2 pieces, one on top had been fried with an excellent char and crunchiness to it, especially since the crunchy garlic was on top. Also for toppings were corn, bamboo shoots, nori, rice cakes,and half a boiled egg so no nickel and dime for toppings here . Fast and attentive service so if trying to get in and out on your lunch break, no problem. Quaint, small venue in shopping strip. Quiet though so nice to have conversation with your lunch date. I would recommend and definitely go again

I showed our waitress and she said well of course there's a bone because they only use whole fresh eel. Bruh. I mean it's $12 for 3 pieces of tuna sashimi. I'd expect the food to be fresh at those prices. Then she quickly snatched it out of my hand and left. I did hear a soft sorry as she spun around. She went off to tend to other tables. But later in the meal I did hear her talking in the back with a man in Chinese about how a customer was complaining about a small bone in l their food. Guess she doesn't know I speak Chinese. At the end of the meal, I asked our waitress if she was the owner. She said no, quickly followed by a "the owner is not here today". Then I asked whether the owner was Chinese. Super duper long pause, followed by a soft spoken yes. Well, my favorite place in Memphis is also Chinese owned. I think many of the Japanese restaurants are. Ah well.

After being seated, we waited approximately 18 minutes without anyone approaching our table. No one came by to take our drink order, introduce themselves as our server, or even check in with us.

There were only three of us, and after waiting nearly 20 minutes without any acknowledgment, we ultimately decided to get up and leave. It was especially disappointing because we were genuinely excited to try this place. We've been looking for a new ramen spot, and finding one so close to home seemed perfect. Unfortunately, we never even had the opportunity to try the food because of the lack of service. Hopefully this was an isolated issue, but our first experience was very disappointing.

    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.

I judge most, if not all ramen shops by how well their tonkutsu presents itself.. and well.. this place scored a lot lower than what I had hoped. The broth, while the traditional white in color was woefully lacking in umami and left a lot to be desired. The ramen noodles were oddly soft without the expected "chew" factor one would expect. Rather it was questionably soft and almost had a "slime"? sensation at the back of the mouth. The ribeye robata...regular and the honey miso glazed version was also lacking in flavor. I tried to hope that maybe the grill flavor would add some depth and salvage the already bland flavor of the cut.. it sadly did not. I got as finishing at least half the ramen (chashu, corn, seaweed and green onions as well as a couple of bites of the noodles). MAYBE I will come back some time later in the future should my patient roster bring me back this way.. but for now.. I would rate this place as more of a maybe than an actual foodie destination.
