Premium Tonkatsu Red 10/10
Monika B.

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.

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.

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.

Takoyaki to share, fantastic flavor

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!

This is still my favorite. Ramen plays my number one go to and it is always worth the drive . Since I moved away to the San Gabriel Valley, I still make it my best effort to come and eat this my favorite Ramen spot my favorite Ramen noodles broth. Everything about this place is absolutely delicious. The service is always great and not like the layout of the restaurant.

Great service from Giselle. She was very friendly and helpful and even help me replace my Ramen when I found it to be too spicy. The vibes are very cute, it's a very small location here, but the food is really good. The lycheetinis are excellent as well.

Jasmine M.

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.

Sometimes there's a wait but it's worth it. Great food and service. They also have a reward program.

Amazing service by Giselle and so fast on bringing our Lycheetini and food out! We were passing by and saw the happy hour sign and we were soo satisfied!!! - J & L

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.

Chilled tan tan men
Shuran W.

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.

Do the impossible meat items (tacos, rice bowl, vegan creamy ramen) contain MSG? There's a list included from the owner in response to another question from 2018, but no vegan items were listed.

Sorry, I don't know - - but I think that your question is more a for the Impossible Meat people. I would suggest following the list the restaurant has given of their MSG-free options.

Do they still have happy hour?

Hi John, Our happy hour menu is available everyday for dine-in guests from 3-5pm.

I see you offer kale noodles? Are they low card or Keto friendly?

For outdoor seating, do we have to call to make a reservation or is it walk in only?

Walk in only. They don't take reservations over the phone.

Are you guys opens for dine in?

Any Keto friendly options?

What about the kale noodles? Anyone know if they're lower in carbs?

Are the noodles vegan for the vegan ramen?

Yes let them know you want vegan noodles when you order.

How is parking here?

There's a parking structure so parking is pretty avail. 👍🏻

Is there MSG used in the ramen?

Thank you for contacting JINYA Ramen Bar. At JINYA, all of our ramen broths contain MSG.… 

Do you guys have gluten free ramen? I saw something about having rice noodles, but is there soy sauce in the broth? Or do you guys make a special one with Tamari or a gluten free soy sauce?

Hello Kay, Thank you for your inquiry. We currently not offer rice nor gluten free noodles, and our… 

Is it better than Kopan ramen?

Yes, significantly better. I've been to Kopan Ramen once and never again. Was not a fan of anything I had there, mediocre at best, and their service was awful.

Hi is this place "cash only"?

They accept Debit/Credit and Cash

My friend was craving ramen and found RedWhite because of its high Yelp ratings, which sounded good…read moreto me. What he apparently did not notice during this research phase was one fairly major detail: the entire restaurant is vegan. Once he realized it, there was a definite moment of hesitation. I was more in the camp of, "Well, you brought us here. We're committed now." Thankfully, his accidental vegan ramen selection turned out to be a very good one. The space is compact and dimly lit, with dark walls, simple wood tables, and a warm glow throughout. It was packed when we went, which gave the room a lively energy, but it still felt cozy rather than chaotic. Once the bowls arrived, any skepticism disappeared pretty quickly. The broth was much richer and more flavorful than either of us expected, with that creamy, savory quality you want from a comforting bowl of ramen. We both finished ours. I had the No. 9 Truffle Salt Ramen and added fried dumplings to mine. The dumplings gave the bowl a nice crispy contrast, and the truffle flavor came through without overpowering everything else. The funniest part is that neither of us walked in specifically looking for vegan ramen. We just wanted a good bowl of ramen, and that's exactly what we got. Parking is available in the shared plaza lot, but keep in mind those spaces are shared with the neighboring businesses. Street parking is another option if the lot is full. My friend may not have realized he was taking us for vegan ramen, but I'm giving him full credit for the accidental discovery.

The staff is friendly, service is fast, and the whole menu is vegan. Although some may consider…read morethis to be a unique dining experience, and probably intended for our fellow vegetarians and vegans, unfortunately this restaurant is not for me. I am not vegan, nor am I opposed to trying new vegan spots, but this one was doing the most. The menu is so simple, yet so elaborate with the different flavored soups you can choose. I tried the No. 8 red hot miso signature ramen bowl. Signature ramen bowls came with corn, dumpling, arugula, ginger tofu scramble, noodles, and crispy onion. I think warm arugula was not for me, and the tofu scramble was way too much since the broth was already so rich. The signature priced at $23. The broth is very thick, heavy, and overpowering. The broth is so rich and thick that I could not even finish the bowl without getting so tired of it halfway. The flavors were very interesting. There was a smoky hint and smell throughout the restaurant, and I was not the biggest fan of it. Once the bowl of ramen is ready, they put this glass lid on time and wait a certain time until they walk it out. My cousin tried the mac and cheese, and that was delicious. The truffle taste is very present and lingered the entire night - forewarning. Inside the restaurant was unique house music playing loudly and it was dark. It was giving mysterious dining. For presentation and creativity, this place gets a 10/10. I do not think I will be returning. Additional suggestion: having meat alternative options to add to the bowl. Parking is terrible in the small plaza and it is difficult to find parking on Ventura Blvd.

Ordered spicy chicken ramen, crispy chicken, pork cutlet, and spicy tonkatsu ramen and nothing was edible.. First off, spicy tonkatsu ramen...chashu pork was overcooked and texture was very rubbery. It literally looked and tasted like a piece of boiled pork belly. Soup base was not the worst and but not the best. Second, my fiance ordered the spicy chicken ramen and chicken was super dry and worst part is the chicken tasted like it was spoiled. Soup broth also had a weird sour taste to it. Pork katsu side was probably the best tasting but tasted like the same katsu i bought from costco. Last the crispy chicken was overcooked, dry, and way too much batter on the chicken. Service wasnt the best. One server in the front but was overly loud and on the phone. Overall first and last time at this place. All the food was very subpar and even tasted like they gave us spoiled meat. Beware of this restaurant...

A tip is optional and should never be something a customer is confronted or pressured about. After this experience, I have absolutely no desire to return. Honestly, they were lucky I left a tip at all. Very disappointing experience, especially considering this was only my second visit. I will not be coming back.

Susuru Ramen Bar is a real neighborhood spot for ramen, and worth the walk and the drive! The Chicken Karaage is the perfect blend of moist and crispiness, and didn't feel heavy or oily.

This pork-broth base ramen with black garlic oil surprisingly uses egg noodles, so it's a richer, different taste that certainly stands out. At the same time, no singular taste overwhelms the rest of the dish, and everything from the seasoned soft boiled egg to the perfectly charred chiashu work together in one harmonious feast.

I also swapped my protein for chicken, but was disappointed that there weren't many toppings overall. The portions were filling, but unfortunately, the ramen was just okay and didn't really stand out. For the price, I expected a little more, and some of the ingredients didn't taste as fresh as I would have liked. Overall, not bad, but probably not somewhere I'd go out of my way to visit again.
