Yes, we ate hot soup on a hot day and it was worth every bite. Parking is easy, we sat outside and it was big and open, and the service was super friendly and prompt. I love ramen - everyone's broth was amazing and the spice level was great. I was expecting when I asked for "spicy" that it wouldn't be hot enough, and I was pleasantly surprised. One person's noodles were sliiiiiiiiiightly overcooked, but mine were chewy and springy. They have good add ons - kimchi, extra meat, egg - and a cocktail menu that compliments all the food. Even bad ramen still tastes great to me so I'm probably not the most objective person, but I definitely liked this meal. It was hearty, delicious, didn't break the bank, and it was just a very nice overall experience. read more

We've been to JINYA several times since it opened, and it's quickly become one of our go-to spots. This past weekend, my fiancé and I stopped in again, and it reminded us why we keep coming back. Every bowl is packed with rich, flavorful broth, perfectly cooked noodles, and served piping hot. The quality has been consistently excellent every visit. The restaurant itself has a modern, elegant atmosphere that always feels clean and inviting, making it a great place to relax over a meal. Our waitress was incredibly attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed without ever being overbearing. It's hard to find a restaurant that's this consistent with both its food and service, and JINYA continues to deliver every time. We'll definitely be back, SO if you're craving ramen, this place is absolutely worth the visit! read more

We stopped by for an early dinner, and even then there was already a wait. Luckily, since it was just the two of us, we were able to grab seats at the bar-top counter instead of waiting for a table. A small downside was that the bar tables are pretty tiny, and the chairs don't have hooks to hang a purse, which made things feel a little cramped. I ordered the Spicy Creamy Ramen, and it was delicious! I'm not someone who enjoys extremely spicy food, but the spice level was just right enough heat without overpowering the flavors. The ramen noodles are thick and have a great chewy texture. My partner ordered the Chicken Chashu, which he also enjoyed, but his favorite part was the Old Fashioned. He's already talking about coming back just for another one! The only thing I'd recommend improving is how the ramen bowls are served. Because they're so hot, our server had to place his thumb inside the rim of the bowl to carry it, and I noticed his thumb accidentally touched the hard-boiled egg in my partner's ramen. I'm sure it wasn't intentional, but it wasn't very sanitary. Finding a different way to handle the bowls would make the dining experience even better. Overall, the food was excellent, and we'd definitely come back. read more

I'm obsessed with this place! If you are new to ramen ask the server for the recommendation they always pick the best ones! The kids meal is a lot of food and comes with dessert. There can be a wait at times so make sure you get there with some time to spare. read more

First visit - but friends advised to show up early (yes - weekdays too) or join waitlist when it starts. Arrived about 5:45 - still able to walk in and be seated at a table. Vibe is welcoming and relaxing. At a table of four we were able to converse and enjoy a social evening. Service was attentive and informed. Waitress was able to advise and make suggestions based on our questions or comments. Food was delish! Portions were large and each of us walked out with a to go box. Flavors and presentation - spot on. Will not be my last visit! read more

Note that Jinya has partnered with the Inkind app; this means you get 20% off your bill just by using the app. Note that select Costcos will also sell Inkind $100 gift cards for $80 (best to wait for these to go on sale though) I tried out one of their ramens, a curry rice bowl, and matcha ice tea. I'm glad they listened to my instructions for less ice on the matcha. I would say the drink was a very muted flavor. The curry rice wasn't special and I would not recommend it. I tried out my crony's fried brussel sprouts and it was pretty darn good. The ramen is really the food you should be buying here as it was the highlight of all the things I ordered. read more

Horrendous customer service. Did a pickup order to get before running to work. Got an email with time to pickup and once I got there, I had to wait another half hour. After multiples times checking in on my order; they told me they handed my order to another person. Wasted my time and made me late for work. No consideration for other people's time. read more

JINYA Ramen Bar - TrailHead - Wonton chicken ramen - Tapas/Small Plates Near Me - Peoria, Arizona

Tried Jinya Ramen Bar at Trailhead in Peoria last night and overall it was a fantastic experience. Only small downside: sitting at the bar during sunset means there's no shade, so the sun coming through the windows can be a little blinding. That said, everything else absolutely delivered. We ordered the Brussels sprouts tempura, crispy chicken and a Jinya bun, and every bite was excellent. Drinks were just as strong with a Sapporo beer, the E Tomo E Tomorrow, a smoky Old Fashioned and a Flying Violette, all well made and worth ordering again. Great food, great drinks and really solid service. Definitely a spot we'll be coming back to. read more

I thought the overall concept and setup were great, and I really loved the bar itself. The food was solid--my favorite was the Brussels sprouts tempura. The drinks were good, though for the price point I expected a bit more polish and expertise. My only major complaint is the bar layout. As the sun sets, the glare becomes pretty intense and takes away from the experience. That said, I would definitely come back. I was also carded which was flattering or maybe they're strict for liquor laws but either way I appreciate it read more

First experience was great. Quick service, attentive staff, great food. Mind you, it was a Saturday, so busier. I raved about this place. Then we came a second time on a Monday at 6pm. Waited extra long for refills of our drinks. Then we ordered more noodles for my daughter's dinner (the menu said it's a special thing you can ask for if you have extra sauce and need more noodles). Waited over 20 minutes and the entire time, server kept walking by us with empty drink cups, food done and waiting for noodles...didn't acknowledge the wait, or anything. We had to flag her down to ask about the noodles. Around the 30 min marker, they brought out the noodles, but soup was cold. The thing that frustrated me the most was the lack of attentiveness or acknowledgement while we were sitting at the table waiting. Server walked by so many times and hardly checked on us. This place disappointed me. I won't be back. read more

Ive been wanting to try this place for a while and i finally went today with one of my friends. I don't remember my servers name but she was so kind and gave me some good recommendations. I ended up with this the JINYA Tonkotsu Black but with chicken and chicken broth. IT WAS TO DIE FOR! Best ramen i've ever had in my life. It actually made me full which i feel like food doesn't do that anymore. It's a good price for the value and size of food that you're getting. The Ambiance was perfect for a date night! 10/10 recommend read more

JINYA Ramen Bar - TrailHead - JINYA Tonkotsu Black* with chicken instead of pork - Tapas/Small Plates Near Me - Peoria, Arizona

Me and my son went on a Saturday night at about 6:30 pm. It was super busy. Was told was a 30-35 minute wait. We waited 15 minutes. We sat at the community table. Now as a short person this was hard to maneuver but still was fun. We ordered some pork Gyoza, I ordered a Sparkling Apple Saki. My son got a Hokusuru Saki. Both very good. His was dry My son order the Tonkotsu Red and I ordered the Wonton Ramen and added an egg and bok choy. My son said his was very good nice spice he got a level 4. Mine was nice I could have used some fish sauce or hoisin. But we both finished our ramen. The things that I would could be improved upon is the level the music is. Makes is difficult to hear who you are there with as well as your waitress. But I still had a good time and will be going back and trying other ramen. read more

New location in Phoenix! We went there the first week they opened, they were quit busy so we got our orders over 30 mins. The staff was friendly though he was so busy to even get our drink. We got Cha Cha Cha and the JINYA tonkotsu black ramen, the broth of tonkotsu was flavorful but not too heavy, the cha Cha Cha is basically for garlic lovers cause they gave us a can of fresh garlic to press and make mince garlic to add in the broth. My husband loves garlic so he added the whole can of garlic lol... the garlicky flavor elevated the flavor of broth, so strong but so good. Their seasoned eggs were cooked well and tasted great, the chasu was average. The crispy chicken was good but nothing too special. Overall, flavor wise is good but they might need to improve customer experience since the service speed now is a little bit slow even in workday lunch. read more

Grand Opening of this place and had to go on day one! This neighborhood has been waiting for a place like this. The same food on every corner is getting old, so thankful Jinya Ramen Bar opened! We had a great experience with customer service, speed of service, food, atmosphere- all of it! Fun music playlist and fun vibe all around. This could be casual or dressy. Lots of seating indoors and outdoors as well. The ramen broth was delicious and I loved that they gave you 3 different sauces so you can create your own additional flavor as well. The small plates were so good- so many options we will need to go back to try others. Same with the Ramen, there are so many different recipes! The drink menu looked fun as well, but we were on a fast lunch break. If you're having a party, there is a super unique square table on the patio that sits 16 people around a fire pit that you can have a meal around! There are also overhead heaters for the other tables as well. Everything was clean, new and beautiful. To the Mama's: No changing table in the women's restroom yet, but I'm guessing since they just opened that may be in transit (Management- if not, make sure you order one for the mom's who love ramen as well!) read more

Truthfully, there are better ramen places out there. The restaurant is nice inside; however, the ramen tastes as if it came from a cup or a package. It's way too high in sodium. The service was nice the waitresses were kind. Would spend the money I did elsewhere. read more

Vibe good, food meh at best! Expensive mediocre ramen with a great environment but I came here to eat not feel the vibe! Come back only if I had to...but it might be a drag TBH! We had the Spicy Chicken Ramen & Premium Tonkotsu Red, the Spicy Chicken tasted better but the Tonkotsu comes with better ramen & more ingredients; overall not worth the drive or the price, can make better myself but I am Asian & this is ramen is made with American inspiration; meh meh meh! UPDATE! Paid the price the next day...that ramen is terrible! Hardly digests, probably wasn't cooked all the way thru, how do you screw up ramen??? Never again! AVOID the ramen...enjoy the cocktails! read more

Just some comments before I get into all the GREAT things about this Restaurant, A little noisy, Avianna our server is going to see if they can turn it down a little. They did a little, acoustic's are bad but I love the ambiance, the lighting is phenomenal. Who ever washes the windows could do a better job, especially when the sun is setting, really noticeable then. The noise when something is done or an order is ready is also annoying. First of all their CS Staff is "FANTASTIC" they don't take reservations but you can go on a waitlist and they try and get you in as quickly a possible, the establishment is very clean and well organized, their patio area is gorgeous and comfortable with fireplaces, etc. love the ambiance overall, great bar area, very cool. We tried the HH Edamame-Very enjoyable I tried (2) Smokey Wokashi Old Fashion's-FANTASTIC IT'S A MUST IF YOU LIKE OLD FASHION'S-The balance of flavors-phenomenal Birria Ramen was excellent-Flavor was well balanced and Beef was really tender Wonton Chicken Ramen was well balanced and very flavorful Avianna was our Sever, very nice, knowledgeable and attentive, she is a SUPER STAR TOOK GREAT CARE OF OUR PRTY OF 6. We will be back to try some of the other entree's read more

We grabbed seats at the bar and honestly... Zach and Will might be the best bartenders I've ever had anywhere. Not even exaggerating. They're such a solid team, super friendly, totally on top of everything, and clearly know what they're doing. The drinks were so good (like the kind where you immediately want to order another to try something different). The vibe was great, the staff across the board was excellent, and even when we did a to-go order, the food was absolutely delivered. Everything was fresh, packed well, and just as good at home as it was in the restaurant, which says a lot. Also, do yourself a favor and join their rewards program. It's 100% worth it if you plan on coming back (and you will). Between the food, the drinks, and Zach and Will absolutely killing it behind the bar, this place is an easy repeat. Highly recommend sitting at the bar, trust me. read more

We stopped in last night for dinner with our daughter and were so happy we did. We arrived about 430 so there was no wait at all. Our server Jacob was very attentive and helpful with explaining things since this was our first visit. The vibe felt like we were back in a ramen bar in Japan. All of us got the Tonkatsu Black ramen and there was not a scrap of food left. They also came out super fast which was great. The flavor was good and honestly got even better the more you ate. I also appreciated that I could add hot sauce or the red chili oil if I wanted since they had it out on the table. Just a couple of drops of the red chili oil made the ramen even better. We also tried the Matcha Tiramisu and Green Tea Mochi and both were great. I also loved that even though it was a weekend they still offered Happy Hour specials. My husband also tried a flight of beers on tap and the pours were very generous for the cost. We will definitely be back. I can't wait to try the garlic rice next to see how it compares to the ones we use to get in Okinawa. Just a side note: make sure you download their app and checkin - the checkin isn't for a waitlist but instead a code the server uses to get you any freebies you might have and earn points. read more

I tried Jinya out for lunch last week. Food was great with plenty of options for everyone. The staff was attentive and answered my newby questions. Thayer did a great job with the Interior, and outdoor dining area. They are new and have some kinks to work out but that's expected. The only issue I had was the chant they do when someone leaves. It annoyed myself and the couple sitting next to me at the bar. It reminds me of a wacky restaurant that sings happy birthday at your table. It's unnecessary. I will be back to check out all they have to offer though and I'm happy that we have a dedicated Ramen spot so close to home. read more

Our server was lovely, she was attentive and timely. My review has nothing to do with the servers. That's about the end of the good. Plan on ordering a migraine, because you'll get one anyway. The kitchen has full blown alarms cooking the noodles I think, that blare loudly every couple of minutes. It's truly awful. It doesn't matter what the food tastes like if you are bring assaulted by what sounds like a fire alarm the entire meal. The owners/management should fix this immediately or they will slowly go out of business. No one likes constant alarms. I wanted to love a new spot in our area, but would never go back to sit under a fire alarm for and hour & a half. Who honestly designed this aspect of the restaurant? read more

Nice ambiance out on patio. Server was friendly and attentive. The inside was extremely loud with a loud buzzer going off in the kitchen every few minutes, so we opted to sit outside. Loved the tempura shrimp appetizer and the tonkatsu ramen. read more

JINYA Ramen Bar - TrailHead - JINYA Tonkotsu Original 2010 - Tapas/Small Plates Near Me - Peoria, Arizona

One star (and it belongs to Jennifer) Listen... I wanted to LOVE JINYA Ramen Bar. Truly. I came in ready to slurp noodles, live my best ramen-girl life, and maybe even find a new neighborhood obsession. Instead, I left wondering if I had accidentally wandered into a day club that moonlights as a noodle shop. We arrived around 1pm and were seated right away. The place itself is cute, and the patio? Great size. But the music...MY GOD. It was so loud I wasn't sure if I was supposed to order lunch or hop on a table and start bottle service choreo. I enjoy a vibe, but not when I'm trying to figure out if my ramen is actually lukewarm or if my eardrums are just numb. Now... enter Jennifer, our waitress and the singular reason this is not a zero star novella. This woman deserves hazard pay AND a throne. Friendly, warm, knows the menu like it's her Bible, and checked on us constantly with genuine care...not that "corporate forced smile" energy. If JINYA had any sense, she'd be running the entire establishment. Unfortunately, the food didn't live up to anything Jennifer delivered. I ordered the lunch special Tonkatsu Black with tapas (salmon taco, gyoza, crispy chicken). My husband got the Tonkatsu Red. - Crispy chicken: Good! The only win. - Gyoza: Cold, which is a choice... a wrong one. - Salmon taco: The texture said absolutely not, and the flavor agreed. - Ramen: This is where my soul left my body. The broth was barely warm and completely bland...no richness, no depth, no comfort, nothing. The pork was dry. The noodles were off putting. I kept staring at my bowl like it might suddenly self correct if I manifested hard enough. Spoiler: it didn't. Neither of us finished. We didn't take boxes. We didn't even pretend. Even Jennifer could tell we were suffering and apologized...again, queen behavior. She knew. She saw us. She felt the disappointment radiating off our table like it had its own WiFi signal. Bottom line: Jennifer deserves a better establishment. The girl is out here delivering Michelin level service in a place that served me Home Depot lumber in broth form. Would I return? No. Would I return just to check on Jennifer? Yes read more

Overpriced. It was just ok. $20 bowl of soup should knock my socks off. The wonton chicken soup was basically ginger flavored water. The wontons were super soggy and the chicken inside tasted of straight up ginger and green onion. The Barria soup was ok but the 1/2 cup of cilantro dumped on the top was overboard. The crispy chicken appetizer was ok. Thigh meat isn't my favorite. Glad that was $6 happy hour pricing. 2 bowls of soup and an app = $60 disappointment. The place is nice. But like most concept restaurants these days, people go for the overpriced boozey drinks. Glad I didn't download the app and give out my info. One less thing I have to delete after I finish this review. Also, did I mention the ginger?? Sheesh. I'm still breathing it. read more

We had such a great first experience at JINYA Ramen Bar. We sat at the bar and had Zephan as our server and bartender and he kept the vibes super high! Super attentive, funny, and made the whole visit feel really enjoyable. We ordered the gyoza, the Tonkatsu Black with an egg added, and the Tonkatsu Red at m spice level 7. If you don't love spicy food, just know level 7 is hot. Like really hot. But still delicious. The ambience was great and for only being open three days, they are doing such a good job. They even mentioned the kitchen was a little backed up and the food still came out pretty quickly. Overall, great service, great food, and a really good vibe. We will absolutely be back. read more

Would wait to go until they've got parked out growing pains Food - took over an hour for two bowls of ramen. Ramen was extremely undercooked. Broth is broth, given it's a commercial chain. Hardly any toppings. Service - got wrong drink, then got a half way correct one in the wrong glass. Kitchen is slammed because they are working through kinks of being newly opened, and I guess bar is too. Server had no idea what was up or down Ambiance - it's new, but also tried and true format, so nothing special. Packed in with tables. Tables need to be cleaned, sauces filled, and menus wiped down. Hosts and bussers just standing around not doing these side jobs makes a packed restaurant feel overly crowded with staff. read more

I know this is a Ramen chain. I'm familiar with it from Los Angeles and I actually like it. I always get the wonton chicken Ramen and today was no different. We opted to go during happy hour from 3 to 6 PM. Some of the items are offered at a lower price, including the small chicken Ramen for nine dollars. We started with a few appetizers, which included the cucumber salad, temporary, Brussel sprouts, and crispy, spicy, tuna. All of the appetizers were delicious and good to share amongst three people. We seem to have had two servers throughout the meal, but one with a strawberry blonde hair was the main server and she was absolutely so nice and friendly. Cool vibes although the music was very loud with the restaurant being empty. We opted to get the small chicken Ramen and then add a toppings to it, including three chicken wontons and a soft egg. It was the perfect portion. The broth was rich. The noodles slightly chewy. And then we finished the meal off with the Matcha tiramisu. It wasn't my favorite, but we would probably try something different next time. The presentation on everything was fantastic. Plenty of parking out front. read more
