I recently visited JINYA Ramen Bar, and I have to say, the atmosphere was lovely! The restaurant was clean, beautifully dimmed, and had a great ambiance. It felt like the perfect setting for just about any occasion, whether you're enjoying a date night, a casual outing, or spending quality time with family. But what really stood out to me was Marley (like Bob Marley!), the lovely hostess at the front! Marley deserves some serious recognition for her exceptional customer service. She was attentive, welcoming, and genuinely kind, not just to me but to everyone who came through. I was having some issues with a DoorDash order, and she went out of her way to assist me, making an already stressful day so much easier. What I appreciated most was how naturally she made me feel comfortable and taken care of. After a particularly rough day, having someone greet you with that level of warmth and willingness to help makes all the difference. And can we take a moment to appreciate her flawless winged eyeliner?! Because that absolutely deserves an honorable mention! Marley is truly a sweetheart and a wonderful person to have welcoming guests. She made my experience memorable before I even had a chance to enjoy the restaurant itself. Major kudos to Marley! Your kindness, professionalism, and beautiful energy did not go unnoticed. read more

I finally ate in shop today after having this place bookmarked for months (okay, years frfr). As soon as you walk in every customer is greeted in Japanese. My family and I were seated right away as a party of 4. Bach, our server, inquired if it was our first time or not and immediately gave us time to check out the menu. He came back timely and answered all the questions and offered suggestions upon request. My kids loved their kids meals!! It was so much food for them that they really could have shared. My kids loved that their meal came with a scoop of vanilla ice cream too! My husband surprisingly got spicy chicken ramen (even though he doesn't handle spice well). He had the option of choosing his spice level, but he said spicy relieved his congestion. I loved every bit of my flavorful bowl of pork ramen. I added wontons for an extra topping cost. It was deliciously flavorful!! The decor was a moody vibe with a grassy wall for texture. It's super cute for an evening date spot, or a lunch break with the girls. read more

I checked in.I knew what I wanted.Which was the pork gyoza and spicy chicken Ramen. This is a beautiful restaurant for people are very friendly and nice. I had to use the restroom, and I think this is the part that I dislike about Jinya. They only have two restaurants, one from men one from women. But that's not the real issue.The real issue is anytime you walk into Jinya, there's someone always in the restaurant and that someone is usually an employee. It's time to pleasure problem with this is that both restrooms were occupied by male employees. And when I went into the women's restroom, because they sat in there so long you could smell, they've been vqping. Can you build more restrooms instead of two. My gyoza came out and it was amazing. Hi ramen came out - don't look different. and tasted differently also from the last time I remember. Begin this is the first time at this location. No, it tastes good, but didn't taste as good as previously from other Jinya restaurants. It just did not remind me of Japan as the others, immediately did. read more

THIS IS MY FAV RAMEN PLACE SO FAR!! My go-to is definitely the Spicy Chicken Ramen (11/10)!! It's sooo good! I also tried the Jinya Tonkotsu Black, and I'd give it a 7/10. It was still good, but I felt like the broth was more on the salty side for my taste. The crispy chicken is really good too, but the batter can be a little hard. The atmosphere is pretty chill and clean, and the service is always great! Don't be afraid to give this place a try!! SO WORTH IT!! read more

Me and my family are regular customer out of convenience. Today was pretty bad ordered 2 tonkatsu black... around 15-17 dollars, was probably the worst portion size for pork chatsu I've ever gotten. Talking about size of one bacon strip cut in half. Honestly I wasn't even mad but felt very disrespected that the cook would even serve that portion and thought it was ok. read more

I've been here a couple times now. Once on a solo date and once with friends and both times I really enjoyed my experience! The service is fast and they are all really nice and knowledgable of the menu. The ramen is good - Ive tried the tonkotsu black ramen and recently I tried the servers suggestion of the spicy creamy vegan ramen (replacing the tofu with their Birria beef which came on the side, not in the broth) and that was super delicious and will definitely be my new go to! They also have sriracha, gyoza sauce, and seasoning sauce available at the table so those are also great additions! The drinks are really delicious as well and they don't have a lot of dessert options but there are a few nearby (most closing at 10). read more

Jinya's has really good ramen and soup. I always enjoyed each bowl, although it is a pricey bowl. I occasionally visit whenever I am craving it, but I've visited a few times alone when I am in my worst times, and it certainly makes my day better during the worst times. I've always enjoyed the spicy chicken ramen with a seasoned egg. The seasoned egg is quite expensive per egg but it's a must with ramen. The yolk oozes out, and the egg tastes savory and perfect. It's go big or not go at all so I always get the egg. I always try to drink most of the soup as well because it is so good. Really wish it could be more affordable to enjoy a bowl so we can go more, but alas, it would have to be an occasional treat. I also enjoyed the appetizer spicy mayo shrimp before, but alas, another price increase keeps me at bay. It almost cost close to a bowl of ramen. Do I want an appetizer or perhaps another bowl of ramen? I ended up getting the brocollini since I thought I needed veggies, and I can also put it in my ramen bowl to enjoy as well. I enjoyed the brocollini. Seating can be a bit crowded, but I've always been able to find a seat. If not, then you would be seated on the big table along with others, but its a big table so it's not likely you will sit next to people. Staff always get the job done, the food comes out quickly, and I enjoy quickly. read more

We've been coming here for years and used to eat here almost every day during the winter. Unfortunately, the last two times, the ramen broth tasted like bathwater--watery, flavorless, and noticeably lower quality. To make matters worse, the bartender was rude while I was picking up our order. The manager was decent, but the overall experience was unacceptable. It's unbelievable how much this place has changed. We'll be going downtown from now on and will not be returning. One star. read more

Spicy Vegan ramen, seaweed salad, salmon poke bowl We sat at the bar on a rainy Saturday. When it's cold out, you don't want to sit at the bar unless you're closer to the end near the tv because the cold comes right on in every time someone opens the door. Lucky for us, we were at the end. I'm not vegan. This was my first time having the spicy vegan ramen and it was amazing. It's my new favorite entree there! Highly recommend it. As always, delicious food. read more

Jinya is a Houston classic for ramen. The broth is flavorful and the service is usually pretty good. The environment is warm and the chain's success in expanding throughout the city and beyond is a testament to that. The Tonkatsu Black is my usual go-to. Unfortunately in my recent visit, I have noticed that they have fallen victim to severe inflation of prices, and I can't say that paying almost $17 for a bowl of ramen would be worth it anywhere. $9 for a few pieces of karaage also seems really steep. read more

Went last night cuz I was craving some kind of soup. It was pretty busy but we were still sat within a few mins of arriving. I got my usual the tonkotsu spicy sub for pork soboro. We also had the pork gyoza and broccolini. There was a small mix up with the broccolini but the manager was kind to offer to take it off the bill due to the wait. It came out some time after the ramen . Another thing to mention I always see them cleaning and paying great attention to detail when u visit this location. Try them out! read more

Loud place, and the staff seemed inattentive throughout the visit. I asked about a drink listed on the menu, and the server said he didn't know what it was. A guest at the next table received noodles without the egg, and meanwhile a kid nearby was screaming nonstop. The food itself was just average. Overall, not a great experience and I wouldn't recommend it. read more

I've come here for weekday lunch recently and appreciate their quick service and friendly staff. Place is still pretty busy but easy enough to get a table for 2. This past time we sat at the bar, and I ordered the shrimp wonton ramen which comes with thick noodles and 5 wontons. My advice is to take the wontons out and put them back in when you want to eat it OR eat them really fast. My first wonton was perfect with lots of shrimp but then the rest of them I think got over cooked in the broth so they weren't as delicate. It's like eating Korean tofu soup- gotta take the shrimp out and eat it else it just gets kinda tough texture. Other than that, it was great and would definitely try again. I did notice that they have a kids ramen but it's like $12 which is not cheap for a kids meal. It would be nice if they had some other kid options or maybe I would just order extra noodles and split. read more

Came to this location for the first time! My friends took me here for the BD dinner I am a Jinya lover and very spicy on comments as I care about ramens especially vegan options. Today, I saw a new menu (Vegan red fire opal) and gave myself a try for my BD dinner Let me tell you, that was a big bingo to me! It was a spicy yuzu flavor which is a citrus that is native to Japan They put the spicy oil on side so I was able to control the spicy level. Saltiness, tartness, sweetness and spiciness was perfect! The amazing taste is guaranteed especially if you like tartness! I personally enjoyed it very much and easily 5 stars for me! Twas a very good dinner! The staff (Kevin) was very friendly and gave us good vibe at the restaurant! Definitely try this one again! Come for those who are vegan/vegetarian Cheers read more

Racially profiled today. Really disappointed because I love jinya. The caucasian lady walked in extact time as me. The waiter that sat her then came back and not even give me a second ill be with you just walked away. RUDE . I stand there for a min still nothing finally I sit myself. Maybe 5 min later 3 more caucasian people walk in get helped immediately got sat avnd drinks right away. A indian man walked in and he got helped immediately sat and drinks. Don't stereotype because you never know who someone is or what type of influence they have. Jinga please train your staff or idk even know what to do but do better.i felt uncomfortable hurt and disappointed read more

We cannot go wrong with Black Tonkotsu ramen at Jinya. The best so far! Service is decent. Restaurant is clean

Waited half an hour to be seated at a shared table, which was not our intention. Ordered chicken ramen that comes with an egg, but got pork ramen and when asked for the egg, were still charged. The takoyaki was 5% octopus and 95% dough. The salmon on the sushi had a weird mayo that didn't go well with the rest. Asked for wasabi, but they didn't have any. Very laud. Highly not recommended. read more

My go to place for ramen in sugar land. I always like to order the tonkotsu black (spicy), jinya buns, and karage. The karage is always cooked perfectly and super crispy. Jinya buns, oh my. The soft, warm, sweet bao bun is enough to order this item but add on the fillings. Yum! The reason for 3 stars is because of my most resent visit my spicy tonkotsu black was lacking. It was not as fatty, spicy, or heavy as I was use to and the cashu was dry. The egg was cooked to perfection as always. I never have a bad experience here with the waiters. The jinya staff in sugar land is kind, friendly, and fast. read more

Rolled in for a casual lunch in the establishment, it was a bit loud ambience wise but was a great choice for a catch up with some friends. The staff are kind and helpful in terms of recommendations, and they do a cool thing with Thank You's! The place is smaller than I thought but it has tables for multiple dif sized groups. I opted for the spicy creamy vegan, and added some spicy sauce to give an extra kick. The ramen itself was good, broth was nice, and I loved the thick noodles. However, something about the tofu that day was a bit eh. I wish we could get fried tofu if that was an option! I would come back for a ramen fix as it's probably one of the top options I know of in the Sugarland area without going downtown. read more

First of all the Ramen was amazing. I've eaten Ramen all over the world including Tokyo and this was top 3. Amazing flavor and spice! I always have issues with Ramen in the US being under spiced and many don't have any additional spice on the table. This restaurant had the spice. We had the Premium Tonkotsu Red and our waitress advised us to try the 3 out of 10 spice which I was skeptical of, but we took her advice. It was just the right spice for us and my wife is from Thailand and she likes spicy food. If not advised I probably would have picked #7 heat level. Our waitress was amazing which is hard to find in the US anymore. Overall wonderful experience. read more

I ordered the spicy chicken ramen. The portion size is super small. My husband ate at another location and brought his remaining ramen home. His left overs were the same size as my bowl. Also it was less flavorful then another location. The broth almost tasted watered down. I have had ramen at other places. This was the worst also the spicy level had zero heat. The cost of 20 dollars with delivery is way too much for two slices of chicken minimal veggies and not enough broth to cover the noodles. Beyond sad. Beyond inflation. Just a waste of money. read more
