Stopped by for a quick walk-up to-go order, and the experience was top-notch from start to finish! The hostess was super sweet and helpful, and my food was ready in a flash. I ordered the Tonkotsu Red at a spice level 4, and let me tell you--it is SPICY! But despite the real heat, the flavor was still incredibly rich and delicious. I'm usually not a big fan of soft-boiled eggs on my ramen, but I decided to just go for it this time and I was pleasantly surprised! The atmosphere in there is great, making it a wonderful dinner spot. I'll definitely be back soon, but next time I'm dining in to get the full experience! read more

Honestly I don't understand the hype. Wait time is minimum 1 hour... A lot of items unavailable on menu by the time you sit. Waiters are so busy trying to manage everything they are forgetful or not as attentive. The food is good but not to die for that I'd go through all of this again to eat here. There are other amazing ramen restaurants I'd rather go before here. When they're over capacity all the time expect discrepancies. read more

Tonight I placed a delivery at 731P - pretty reg customer in fall/winter. Cool, takes usually 30-50mins on average, maybe 60 with rain; today was quoted at 40-50. Cool cool. As long as my food is well prepared, I am pretty chill on that window. But, fast forward to 9Pish (aka 40ish mins post anticipated delivery window)... I've not received my food yet and it hasn't left the shop at 9:13P. I checked in on the app and my uber driver informed me at 9:01 they had misplaced my order and had to refire it. I called the shop myself - lo and behold - they gaslight me. Person on phone: "Your uber driver hasn't been here - ma'am "... Me: "I can literally see my uber driver on a map, sitting in front of your shop. He's been there since roughly 10mins after I placed the order." I ask to speak to a manager, looking for an explanation "no, no it's just busy". Odd how two completely different stories fall out of mouths but the first one is to throw another human being under the bus? Girl, you work in service, what are you doing throwing a fellow service member under the bus? Literally all you had to say was "there was an issue in the kitchen, we are redoing your order and will get it out immediately"... But, Jinya chose the "I'm a terrible human" option and blamed the poor delivery guy for their incompetence (wouldn't have even called it that if they'd just said it was an honest mistake). And, also, manager/not manager #1 blaming the driver and #2 gaslighting a customer about "it's a busy night". No, yall just missed the mark and cld have said that and you were sorry for the delay but now we had to go full circle on blaming a delivery person and gaslighting a customer come on people... After talking to these terrible "managers/not managers" (according to them, pretty sure #1 hung up on me)... Food arrived at 9:29P (ordered at 731P)... Jinya eggs are forever cold every time I order because they prepare them early in the day, have never commented on that until today... But, somehow, Jinya delivered every item COLD to me. The gyoza has a FILM of grease; the broth is cool to the touch, the ramen (noodle bowl) is freezing...this meal was "ordered" at 8:51P according to the cute lil tag they put on it tell your employees to maybe not lie as a standard practice because they're awful at it... YOU blamed the trackable delivery guy Your team could have just said there was an honest mistake, but alas put me down a rabbit hole that could have been avoided. And to that extent...Do you and your team realize how much money you cost the delivery man you blamed for this situation???? Be better humans. IT'S ON THE BAG - 8:51P. read more

JINYA Ramen Bar Studio City, on Ventura Blvd is by far, our favorite ramen spot. We usually come in the evenings, on any given day of the week. Sometimes the wait is long, sometimes it's not. This location has a plus side being next to a TJ Maxx/Marshalls/HomeGoods establishment nearby. We always tend to find something there if we have to wait for a table. All staff are usually very nice. The service is always very quick, once seated. The ambience is casual. Some of the decor, in my opinion, is tacky because it's fake greenery, but that doesn't deter me from the ramen in the slightest. We usually order the JINYA Tonkatsu Black, the Premium Tonkatsu Red, and the V Red Fire Opal. Spice levels very by whoever is cooking. I like a little variation and challenge. I will always come back here, and recommend it to anyone who wants some good Ramen. read more

Located right at the corner plaza with plenty of underground parking, which is a huge plus. Came through on a packed Friday night but somehow got seated right away. The vibe is cool but a little too dark, and the tables are super cramped side-by-side. Got the crispy chicken to start...super crunchy and actually really good. For mains, we got the Tonkotsu Black and Tonkotsu Red ramen. The ramen isn't like mind-blowing, but it totally hits the spot. The noodles are on the thinner side, which I like. Just a heads up on the Red ramen: a level 4 is spicy for me. I had to order extra noodles just to balance it out lol. read more

Unfortunately, I got extremely sick after eating here last night. This was the only meal I had all day and shortly afterward I developed severe stomach cramping and significant gastrointestinal symptoms. I had felt completely fine beforehand. For $20 ramen plus tip, I expected a much better and healthier experience. The ramen tasted good at the time but the aftermath completely ruined it for me. I hope the restaurant takes a closer look at its food handling and preparation. I won't be returning. read more

The Tan Tan Men ramen was a very unique take at the traditional cozy warm broth you're used to and instead was a cold bowl. The flavor was great and was unexpectedly delicious! The matcha was just sweet enough without being too sugary and a true matcha treat! read more

A pretty good place for ramen. I hear the broth is pretty good. I had the pork bowl with rice. The rice bowl was a little dry but had good flavor. The server was very nice and told me about their rewards program which I signed up for but didn't know I had to do something before I left the restaurant. So bummer, no rewards for me. We sat outside which wasn't so bad since the weather was pretty cool. It was nice to be outside but not much of a restaurant vibe. More like a cafe. Parking is above and below ground. Menu prices are moderate. read more

My first time at Jinya! Got there late so no wait. We ordered the crispy rice with spicy tuna appetizer, one of the bao buns and 3 bowl of ramen. The tuna crispy rice was better than expected. The bun was just mid. I had the classic Jinya chicken ramen with no added toppings. It was good. I liked the additional hot sauce/"seasoning" that they have on the table. Food was all good. Service was ok. We parked on Ventura Blvd. Nice that they had a lot of choices of types of ramen with lots of toppings to choose (although they charge for each one so gotta keep an eye on that). read more

Bad experience all around. No one came to greet us at the front door. After 3 mins we sat ourselves. Then after waiting at our table without getting service for 10 mins we left. We watched the servers go to tables that got there after us. No one came by at all. Glad we didn't waste our money. Do better read more

I love the vibes of this place. It's on the quite side and is a bit dark inside. But there is also patio seating, which I am sure is louder next to the parking lot. Although it was a bit busy with the dinner crowd, we were seated right away and service was easy enough to wave down. The ramen here is good, about average LA pricing. But I also love their salmon bowls. It's got a good diverse menu for everyone. Good place for a date night or a small group. read more

I have been come here since it opened. It used to be my favorite in the whole SFV. Let me start by the service was superb. Unfortunately, I got such a stomachache after having the chilled tamtam noodle. It was flavorful. But not exactly chilled. More like almost warm but just got a bit of cold water on top.... My kid had Jinya Original, we switched to thin noodles, just like what they used to make. That was good. It was not too busy at Saturday afternoon. Table was clean. read more

Nice stop after a day at Universal. I wanted to have a better quality restaurant after being at the park all day. This popped up and is conveniently close to the park. There is a small lot right outside of the restaurant, but more parking in a garage underneath. We probably got there around 9 and it was a little busy. We opted for outside, because it was the first available. Good thing there are heaters outside, as it was cold that evening. Service started off pretty well, our first server was really nice and enthusiastic. She helped my sister with some recommendations. We were served pretty quickly. I went with the Tonkotsu Black. Its as good as competitors in the greater LA area, so this might be the pick if you're looking for something in the area. The pricing is also comparable to other spots. We were there when it was time for our server to clock out, so the timing of things afterward were a little inconvenient with the switchover to a new one. The seating arrangement was also a little odd. The seats closest to the wall were buried into this wall bush decoration thing. Worth a try if youre in the area read more

We visited here about a few weeks ago i forgot to post. We visited your establishment for the first time while shopping nearby, and it really caught our attention. Since it was our first visit, everything was new to us, but our server was incredibly nice, friendly, and accommodating with the kids. The food portions were so generous that we couldn't even finish our meals. We understand that the menu changes about every six months, and we will definitely be back to try new items. read more

Parking - There is plenty of space in the garage parking. The spaces are small and tight though. My friend drove their sedan there and it was still hard to get properly within the lines. Inside - They have outdoor and indoor seating. The indoor seating is a bit cramped. I'm not sure if it is a safety hazard to have the tables so close to one another but yeah. Other than that the vibe of the place is nice. Great music and good ambience to hang with friends for food. Seating - To grab a table you go up to the hostess and give them your number. When your table is ready they will notify you through text. I did not have to wait long to be seated. About 15 minutes. The staff were all very nice and the service was fast. Premium Tonkotsu Red - This ramen comes with pork broth, pork chase, green onions, seasoned egg, kikurage (ear wood), seaweed, chili oil, bean sprouts and ramen noodles. You get to choose from a spice level from 0-10. The waitress told us that 3 was considered mild so I got 4. I love eating spicy food so it wasn't that spicy to me. But if you cannot tolerate spicy I would stick between the 1-3 spice level range. The meat was very tender, the vegetables were done just right, and the noodles were firm. The only thing that I was not a fan of was their broth. It was very very salty and oily. I like salt, but it was a bit much for me. I prefer a lighter broth. The overall flavor profile was alright. I would give the ramen a 7 out of 10. Takoyaki - They were very generous with how much sauce they added on the balls. They also made the most perfectly crisp outside and big octopus pieces. This was a 8.5 out of 10 Overall - This was my first time here, but I don't think I will be rushing back. The experience was nice, but I just wasn't a big fan of the ramen. read more

A perfect spot to visit on a cold winter night. I ordered the spicy chicken ramen and it came out piping hot. The servers working here are all really nice too and seem to work well together. I was by myself so got quickly seated at a communal high top table, but if you have a larger party be prepared to wait unless you get lucky. The inside of the restaurant is pretty small and even the patio doesn't have a ton of seating. Overall a great experience and super close to Universal Studios if you're looking for a quick place to dine after a visit. read more

Came here during happy hour and had an amazing time. The staff was very pleasant and accommodating to us as one of us was gluten free. They advised us on the options that were best suitable given the allergy restriction. We sat outside on the patio which was great, but I do advise if you visit during summer months prepare to be hot lol. Otherwise it's a great experience and I will be back on several occasions. read more

THE OG JINYA RAMEN!! My family and I discovered this place years ago and it's amazing. The staff fantastic. It's in a small strip mall( parking is a bit complicated if you cant find surface parking but they do have a parking garage below them). trying to get out and turn left onto Ventura BLVD.....is a bit of a challenge. Food- always amazing!! Drinks too! Staff is top tier! Haven't been back in a while because Topanga Westfield is much closer to me but much love to Studio City JINYA! read more

Great service. Cynthia was super attentive and kind. Five stars for them! I really wanted to love this place but I'm not sure I would return again. They have great lunch specials but the ramen was quite mid in my book. Broth was a bit salty and not as flavorful. My lunch special came with spicy tuna crispy rice, and I happened to enjoy that way more than my actual ramen, so maybe ramen is just not it here? Ambiance is quite nice for a casual eatery and love how it's located next to Marshall's and Homegoods. Parking is super easy here. read more

Amazing Vega ramen. One of the best ramen I had it. They give chilli oil so you can add depending on your spice level. Spicy chicken ramen was good too and chicken salad is good too. Service is great as we Sat immediately as we reached . The vegan appetizers were fired n same oil As non veg so reducing star here as it its vegan it should be absolutely vegan or you should not add that as vegan. Good part was it was written on menu but would like them to consider the change for vegan people like me. Ambiance had both outdoor and indoor seating and it was good to seat outside in amazing weather read more

Oh my goodnessss the best ramen iv'e had for awhileee!!!! Ive seen reviews talking about challenging parking but there is a huge free underground parking lot that is always usually empty! Upon entering the place is beautifully decorated but the stars of the show is the service and food that makes me come back to this place. I would definitely say the wait time is fairly long so I recommend getting there a bit earlier from lunch rush but the workers here are always so nice and energetic, I always order the tonkotsu red (spicy) with thin noodles and its honestly the best ramen I've had in awhile. If you're ever in the area especially after or before visiting the universal studios park let this be your additional/bonus destination :)) read more
