Our experience was great! We walked in and we were greeted by a hostess with the most beautiful smile and very vibrant energy. She took us to our table and we were greeted immediately by our waitress who was also a sweetheart. The decor is to die! The appetizers came out within 5-10 minutes. And they were delicious!!' The noodle bowls were so mouthwateringly delicious! We got the shrimp tempura ramen and a beef ramen dish .And the pricing won't send you home broke! So overall, 10 stars if possible. Will definitely return again. read more

Love the decor and vibe of this place! Good amount of seating options. We were seated in the booths in the back. What we ordered: - MATCHA RED BEAN COCONUT MILK TEA - STRAWBERRY MATCHA COCONUT MILK TEA - DARUMA ROLL - salmon, spicy crabmeat, mango, cream cheese, and avocado topped with scallion & tobiko and comes with mango sauce - TONKOTSU RAMEN - "tonkotsu" (pork) broth topped with black fungus, bamboo shoots, seasoned boiled egg, scallions, narutomaki fish cake, straight noodle, pork chashu - PORK CHASHU BOWL - sautéed pork with onion, black fungus, fried onions, soft boiled egg, sesame seeds, served with white rice and house sauce The staff were very friendly. We enjoyed all the food and drink. The only complaint is the pork chashu was super dry and hard, maybe it was over cooked. I would recommend this place and would return myself. read more

A large venue inside of a shopping complex, so plenty of free parking. Very polite staff, efficient serving process. A very cool vibe on the interior mixing Japanese culture w/modern American aesthetic. Good music playing at a volume high enough to enjoy, but not at all be a distraction in normal conversation. The food was all very very good. We had the Beef Ramen & Kinya ramen, with Pork Bao and Beef & Pork Yakitori on the side. Well prepared and very tasty. I would definitely come back and do it all again. Grades: Beef Ramen: A+ Kinya Ramen: A+ Beef Yakitori: A+ Pork Belly Yakitori: A+ Pork Bao: B read more

I've been to this place a few times and it's always mid or worse. The food is decent, sometimes good, but the service and management is horrible. I understand a busy restaurant, but they need more severs who know how to serve and a manager with customer service skills. Got several items wrong during my last dine in experience and the manager had the audacity to give me a $5 off card for the next time I return (instead of just fixing the issue). As if I would ever return again to this poorly run place. read more

Our server Johnny was great, he was very kind and attentive! The menu is amazing and the food is really good

Food was YUM!!! Service was super slow, but they were very nice and welcoming nonetheless, felt like we were forgotten about during our visit. Took quite a bit for food to come out as well, didn't seem like they were busy either. The ambiance was chill, vibes were good, and comfortable seating in the booths. Ramen was pretty good, dying of thirst after the spicy wings. Definitely recommend for some solid ramen. read more

I'm super picky with my ramen but this spot was literally the best! I absolutely loved every bit of it. The place was enormous in comparison to most ramen spots and the decor was aesthetically pleasing. The service was amazing and the manager even came to check on the table. Everything we ate had so much flavor. I couldn't get enough. The Taichi Ramen was the absolute best. You get two ramens for the price of one. Which is amazing because their menu is so vast and has so many options. I opted for the wonton ramen and kinya ramen. The broth was flavorful and subtle at the same time. Everything complimented each other so well. I can't wait to come back. read more

Visited Kinya Ramen for lunch on a Saturday. The restaurant is pretty big, with some tables and private booths/rooms. We were seated quickly and given menus. They have a combo deal which gives you a bowl of ramen and an appetizer for $22. This is a pretty discount, you're basically getting the appetizer for half price. The staff brought the food pretty quickly. I got the Kinya Ramen for my ramen, and takoyaki for my appetizer. I was pleasantly surprised, the takoyaki seemed freshly made and not frozen ones. The Kinya ramen was a basic tonkotsu ramen with gold leaf on top. It was good, not too greasy or salty. I'd go back for the combo deal. read more

I came here with a friend and sat at the bar for two since the restaurant was busy. Immediately there was a draft from the door opening and closing constantly. No big deal, we were hungry. However, we ordered sushi tacos as an appetizer and ramen for our meals. Upon receiving our appetizer, we still had not received any utensils or small plates so we ate with our hands without napkins to clean. The ramen was ok, nothing too special. The charsiu in my ramen was dry and somewhat burnt. We also ordered two bubble teas to go which were almost all milk, so you're basically paying $6 for a large cup of milk. Overall, I had high hopes but left disappointed. read more

I had low expectations and so glad I did because they exceeded all of them. I tried two different ramens with the tai chi bowl and they were both amazing. The bubble tea was also made perfectly and gave great to go cups. The server was fantastic and sweet. Not to mention there is a really cool Japan aesthetic to the place. They clearly know what they're doing here. Get the wings, get any ramen, splurge for the bubble tea. Spicy isn't that spicy btw so don't worry read more

I recently tried the combo option at this ramen spot. It was really good. I chose the pork ramen with soy Garlic Wings and tonkatsu ramen with pork Gyoza. Both bowls of ramen broth were super flavorful. Their gyoza tasted crispy outside and tender inside. I would definitely recommend the combo option for anyone who comes to try. The combo comes with a choice of any ramen plus appetizers and its a great value. Service is good and staffs are friendly here. read more

So we showed up, no reservation. Took awhile to speak to the receptionist. Waitress walked through and was rude. We finally speak about a table and they tell us 30 to 45 minutes. No problem I give her my name and number. Seating looked cramped for one and the wait staff attitude we just didn't want to go back. Mind you they never called about our table!!!! Will never give them the chance. If I could give no stars I would read more

Kinya is such a great addition to the area. There are so many options of ramen it's hard to even make a choice! I have to admit, I love the tuna nachos- I could literally put an order in every day if it was possible! Such a creative fusion of flavors. Definitely recommend! read more

I loved the one in the other location so couldn't wait to try this one. When I arrived I parked in the plaza parking lot. I walked into a super cute restaurant. We were served by a nice waitress Elvie. We ordered: Thai milk tea passion fruit tea shrimp Tempura yakitori (shrimp/scallop) salmon Avacado sushi taco shrimp Tempura sushi taco spicy wings Vegetable spring rolls Vegetable gyoza spicy ramen yakitori bowl mochi ice cream mango Everything honestly was delicious! I really loved the wings and the ramen the most! I would definitely come back because I had a good experience. read more

This place has good ramen When we entered the restaurant, we were surprised to see it packed. But the wait wasn't bad though, because the staff were efficient and always moving. The vibe and staff were great. We ordered the combo ramen with appetizers--KINYA Ramen, Beef Ramen, gyoza, and tempura sweet potato and asparagus. We liked the appetizers, but the ramen surprised us. It was a bit bland for our liking. It looked great, but I wish it had more flavor. Overall, it was still a good experience, and the food came out quickly with almost no waiting. read more

Loved the food here! I can not recommend the Sushi Taco Combo enough -- extremely worth it, especially if you get Toro! I love the variety of food they have here, from ramen to boba to sushi! Their ramen is absolutely scrumptious. It is packed with flavor, and you can tell they use high-quality ingredients. I loved the overall aesthetics of the place. When you step in, it feels a bit like you're stepping into Japan with all of the amazing decor and furniture throughout the restaurant. read more

Service was terrible, seated and ignored for over 25 minutes. No check in, nothing. Several people ordered after we were seated, food ordered by others who had been there while we sat. Not an employee person looked in our direction or acknowledged us. We were very excited to have their food as this was our first trip to here, never attempting again. would not recommend. read more

I love that it's in a shopping plaza with plenty of parking. I recently came and I thoroughly enjoyed. The food service was decent. I will say the front desk a staff could use a little bit more Customer Service training because they don't really speak to you when you come in, you're just kind of waiting idly around trying to figure out if your next in line or if a delivery person is waiting next to you out to pick up a food order it just was a little bit chaotic. I'm at the front desk and you are gonna wait a very long time if you don't have a reservation so I recommend trying to get a reservation before signing in. I also did not love their bubble tea. It's not the best I've had but the Ramen was delicious. The curry one was very flavorful. The appetizers were also very good so I would go back. I would just go back when it's not as busy so that the service could be a bit better. read more

Kinya Ramen, a full-service restaurant chain offering "authentic Japanese foods and flavors with fun twists," just opened last week as a soft opening. Located at the Linden Commons off of Route 1 North in Linden, this establishment means "gold' in Japanese, where some of my colleagues ordered as first-timers for takeout lunch today. Its interior has a modern, upscale, hip vibe to it. There's also lots of gold throughout to fit with the overall theme of the restaurant. As the name implies, the menu boasts ramen as well as sushi dishes with bowls and bubble tea. We decided on the spicy ramen, beef ramen, and tonkatsu ramen. For takeout, the ramen toppings and noodles were packed separately from the full-bodied broth in a nice decorated insulated bag. Their ramen was infused with a rich, creamy, flavorful broth and delicious. However, the broth for Tonkatsu and Spicy was a tad salty. While the beef broth was a bit sweet. While waiting on the order, I got a chance to speak with the owner, Mavis, who was friendly and informative, recommending the chicken chashu bowl for the next visit. The price was reasonable. Nice, fantastic spot that friends and coworkers can regularly go to for lunch or dinner, which we can recommend. read more

Good food, fast service and chill vibe. We had the Chintan Ramen + Chashu Bowl. Thanks Rell!!

I decided to try this location with a friend. I've been to the west orange location years ago. This location is much larger. It had a lot of people. The menu seemed much more robust this time around. Honestly all the food i had was delicious. The spy garlic wings were amazing and really steaming hot. The spicy ramen was tasty but I wasnt crazy over the chicken, i'd try it with pork next time. The shrimp tempura sushi taco was good but I wish it wasnt $7-8 per 1 taco. The servers were really kind. The manager stopped by the table and said hi. Everyone was accommodating. I would just make a reservation if you're going to go for dinner because it seemed very popular so there was a wait. read more

My best friend and I came here for lunch because this place has been on my foodie bucket list for soooo long! It was freezing that day so we both got the ramen combos which were such a great deal! You get a full bowl of ramen of your choice with a full sized appetizer too! All of the food was sooo good and super flavorful. There wasn't a single thing I didn't like. I definitely would love to go back and try their sushi tacos because those looked really good too. Our server was super helpful especially because it was our first time and my friend is a no pork eater. So if you also don't eat pork they definitely have pork free options! The inside is also soooo nicely decorated it's like traveling to Japan. Definitely a great spot! read more

My party of 4 came on a Tuesday around 6:30pm during their soft opening, and were seated promptly. The space is nice and open with private booths and table seating. They have a variety of appetizers, ramen, sushi tacos, yakitori, drinks, and desserts. We each ordered the Ramen combo which comes with a choice of ramen and an appetizer. I tried the Kinya Ramen and the gyoza appetizer. The ramen broth was rich and flavorful and came with a generous serving of pork. The gyoza also had a nice crisp and delicious filling. The other appetizers the table ordered were also enjoyable. We also enjoyed the sushi tacos, in particular the lobster salad and salmon poke! Service was prompt and friendly, especially our waiter Devin. and the manager also came to check on our table to ensure we had a good experience read more

Kinya Ramen is an excellent spot for ramen and bubble tea. I liked the fact that you can do a ramen combo which includes an appetizer and a ramen dish. I had the spicy wings which were good but they were not spicy to me. I also had spicy chicken ramen which was good and the broth was a little spicy. I also had the Thai milk tea which was great. Their signature teas can't be modified in terms of sugar. Great spot if you are craving ramen and are in the area. read more

Went here because it looks good but the ramen isn't as good as it looks. I had the strawberry matcha coconut milk and it just tasted like strawberry milk. I ordered the Kinya Ramen which is supposed to come with edible gold and was completely ignored by staff when I asked about it. When we walked in it they seemed like they hoped my party didn't request a booth seat. Overall I won't come back this is one of those Instagram-able restaurants and you can tell they just pay content creators to promote their establishment instead of actually make good ramen. read more

Ramen was good, but very salty. It also had hardly any veggies in it. Bubble tea was tasty. Service was nice, but took forever to get anyone to my table. I will say it was busy, but my table didn't even get our order taken for about 30 mins. The restaurant itself looks very aesthetic, but it's also very popular right now so you have multiple people vlogging while you're trying to eat ur meal. read more

Great ambiance, the food is good! Service was slow on this day but arguably that the restaurant was very busy at that time during dinner.

Tried Kinya for the first time and loved everything! The inside was nicer that anticipated with a variety cozy booths and seating areas. Our server was Javier and we found him super helpful. He suggested several items and helped us pick out everything. My husband and I ordered a variety of items which included pork buns, tuna roll, yakitori (chicken, beef, bacon/asparagus), and Gyudon, and matcha shaved ice! We were pleased with how fast everything came out and tasted. We especially loved how flavorful the gyudon was and how the chicken yakitori was very tender. What made the shaved ice extra special was the fact the flavors are mixed together fresh before shaving down. We chose the matcha flavor and added strawberries. It was the perfect blend of toppings without being too sweet! We will definitely come back to dine again! I can't wait to try the ramen. read more

Obsessed with my experience here! We ordered three sushi tacos (Spicy Tuna, Spicy Salmon and Eel avocado), the sushi nachos and eat got our own ramen (Beef and Spicy Ramen). The tacos were wonderful, just slightly confusing at first to remove the wrapper, but figured it out after a few seconds. The nachos were an addicting combination of spicy, sweet, light and refreshing (forgot to take a picture)! The ramen tasted good as well, however the beef ramen broth required a glass of water on the side and the pork in the spicy ramen was good but not the best I've ever had. Overall, a great experience, especially with such a unique interior, designed as though it was set in Japan. read more

My boyfriend and I decided to go all out at this place. We ordered several appetizers and each got our own ramen, and everything was fantastic. The wings were perfectly cooked, the soy garlic was our favorite. The staff were friendly, and when we weren't happy with our initial table, they let us switch to a booth as soon as one became available. The Boba Teas was also delicious.

Ok. I'm not a ramen person so I tried the wings. YES!! A hit for my family. Shrimp tempura. Nice. Chicken bowl with rice. Delicious Kabobs were small but tasty As fruit juices were refreshing and fun Love the booths. Nice privacy for family groups Service was quick and no issues. read more

Went for lunch on a Wednesday afternoon. Overall, I really enjoyed that they had several ramen options as well as rice options. I also liked that they had more than just the classic bubble tea flavors and topping options. I took off one star for the service, even though there was only 2 other tables seated at the time, it took a while to be greeted at the table with water as well as to have our order taken. Other than that, the server was excellent providing recommendations and great table side manners. I will definitely return for their delicious food. It's a cute location for date night too! read more

have been looking for a new ramen spot in the area and the Kings opened! First time here did not disappoint. Our server Devyn, was friendly and prompt.

Came here for the soft opening with some friends, upon walking in the place was well decorated and had nice vibes! Ramen is not usually one of my fav cuisines so I will speak more to the other options here. The yakitori combo had a good selection of options though the beef was a bit tough. The wings were standard. We enjoyed the gyoza, takoyaki, and shrimp tempura though! The sushi taco combo we got included the lobster salad, toro scallion, and poke salmon which were all good. Overall the meal was rounded out well with some green tea and ube mochi desserts in the end. Service was attentive! read more
