We went here because I didn't want our usual option. Incredibly fast service, fresh food, the fried wontons were a nice touch. Ramen- the beef ramen brothcould have been a little more flavorful- but I liked the options and the beef topping was perfect. Tonkatsu - as expected. Check this spot out! read more

Kinya has much more than ramen! Anything from rice bowls, sushi, entrees, & a long list of appetizers, the menu has plenty to choose from. We visited on a busy Saturday night & it didn't matter.. They greeted us & sat us down right away! We enjoyed our meal comfortably in a booth & the service was great. Our food was served quickly & delivered fresh. It's a bit pricey for the serving sizes, but other than that, a great place to try for anyone looking for something new around town. Happy Yelpin yall! read more

I don't know when this joint officially opened up. I saw that it was open on social media so of course I had to come check it out. My girlfriend and I planned out lunch date here. We both checked out the menu the night before so we got a general idea at what was all served here. My friend did arrive before me so she got some gyoza started. She was also given a complimentary basket of fried wontons with a side of sweet chili sauce. I arrived shortly after the gyoza was dropped off. We were given to go containers of the dumpling sauce. The gyoza was good. They were pre made quality so they were pretty basic. The sauce did add a nice element to the gyoza. The gyoza was bigger than the to go cup of dumpling sauce so it was interesting trying to dip your dumpling in it without having to cut it up into a bunch of tiny pieces. I don't know why they just couldn't put the sauce in a ramekin and serve it on the same plate as the gyoza. I ordered a pineapple lemonade to sip on while our food was being prepared. I do appreciate the size of me lemonade. Your getting a lot of bang for your buck. It would have been nice to have the syrup mixed into my lemonade. The straw didn't mix the syrup cause it didn't reach to the bottom where are the syrup was at and was too flimsy. I ended up using my chopsticks to mix the thick syrup. It was a decent lemonade for pre mixed lemonade with pineapple flavoring. For lunch I ordered the general's chicken and my friend got the Mandarin chicken. I really wanted to try the ramen but I over did myself on fluids yesterday so I couldn't have the broth today which was a bummer. Our food came out hot. We got a nice amount of chicken in our dishes. I appreciate how much sauce was on the chicken. Not every piece was coated so it left some crunchy pieces. When I think of general's chicken, the words tangy and spicy come to mind. Mandarin chicken, the words sweet, orangy and bright. As much as I would have loved to use those words to describe today's lunch, those words would not be it, especially the Mandarin chicken. Both sauces were dark, the Mandarin sauce was even darker. There was a little heat to the general's chicken. The sauce didn't really give off the sweet, spicy and tangy taste like general's chicken would. The sauce was good but I wouldn't describe it as General's chicken like. And honestly, the Mandarin chicken tasted like the general's chicken but without the heat. There was no difference in both chicken dishes. The chicken itself was tender and was fried nicely but other than that it tasted the same. Service was nice. We were our server's only table so she checked up on us quite frequently. A few tables did come after us which gave her more interaction besides our party of two. We were still eating our lunch when our server brought our bills. Nothing like getting your tab when your still eating. I get dropping off bills when maybe our forks are down and we have pushed our plates to the side. But dropping off bills while your guest is still eating has always bugged me. I don't know, this place is clear on the other side of town for me. Was the food and service good enough for me to want to come back? Probably not. Will my curiosity about the ramen here bring me back? Maybe. The food and the service was a complete flop for me. So I don't know if I'll come back when there's other local joints closer to me. read more

Hubby and I decided to try this place since it was so close to us and we're always on the lookout for good Japanese food. We ordered: Kinya ramen, gyudon, pork belly yakitori, mango Hawaii sushi roll, and the tuna maniac sushi roll. Ramen was delicious, not too salty. The chashu pork in it was good too. Noodles had a nice bite to them, and not too mushy. Gyudon was delicious BUT there's so little beef for the price. Also wish there was more of the sauce on the rice. If they had more meat on the bowl, l'd order two of these in one go because they're good. Pork belly yakitori was pretty good, but again, does not make sense for the price. I've had really delicious yakitori in more expensive states, and even those were priced less than $5 for two pork belly skewers of the same size. Both rolls were good, but were on the smaller side considering these were meant to be specialty rolls. I also couldn't quite tell how fresh the fish was since the fish pieces were small in the rolls, and was covered in sauce and other things. I'm planning on trying the simpler rolls next time though just to see how the fish actually tastes on its own. The ones from Sushi Sushi in Nampa are competitively priced and are much larger in comparison and the fish always taste fresh and flavorful. We also got their brown sugar milk tea boba and canned Vietnamese coffee. Milk tea was decent, and the boba texture is good. It's not amazing, but good enough to satisfy my boba cravings. The canned Vietnamese coffee was pretty good esp. cuz they refrigerate the can. The place is a bit in the smaller side, but the service is good and efficient, so for a party of 2, we only waited about 10 mins around 6:30pm on a Friday night. With the food we ordered, we were out of there by 7:30pm. Overall, we like the place and the food. We just wished certain items were more worth the higher price tag. I don't mind paying more if the portions are good. read more

Kinya- it's open!!! Come check them out. Service was 10/10 shout out to Cindy Volcano Roll- 8/10 basic Californian roll but the topping was absolutely delicious. General Tsao chicken- 6/10 the sauce was outstanding but the chicken itself did not leave a lasting impression...definitely would not order again. Shrimp tempura- 10/10 yummy yum yummmm read more

Drove my and we were hungry. Figured try out a new ramen place. So glad we stopped. I had to order Tonkatsu Ramen to taste the broth, cause you know it's all about the broth. OH MY GOODNESS GRACIOUS, creamy, not overly salty, deliciousness. Ramen is different from what I have eaten in the Valley, but good. The pork is a little crispy and flavorful. My friend ordered the Pork Chasu and she said it was delightful, marinated pork sauté with onions and what ever they put in, it's delicious, well portioned and just lovey. We also had to order the Kimchi, because she Korean, let me tell you, we both looked at each other. This kimchi is homemade, you can taste the different layers of flavor. OMG!!!! We asked, apparently they get it shipped in from a family friend from Vegas!!!! Best KIMCHI!!!! And their servers are amazing, so on top of it, very friendly and efficient. Sorry about the photo, I had to taste before I took a picture and then I couldn't stop tasting it. read more

HORRIBLE SERVICE AND FOOD! came in today and ordered ramen. The ramen wasnt to my expectations and barely ate it. Asked the server to remove it from the bill and said she couldn't in a passive aggressive way. So they were going to charge me for a meal i didnt touch! I asked to speak to a manager and he came out and i explained to him and he said the reason he couldn't remove it is because he didnt know how. why have people work someone they dont know how to. you can tell they dont want to be here. wouldnt come here again! read more

The restaurant was nice and clean. The server was quick and polite. However it was a very unfortunate experience. We ordered a few rolls, sushi and sweet and sour pork. The tempera roll was great, the S & S pork was really bad. Like it came from the freezer and dumped in a hot fryer and served. I've had better at Panda Express. read more

I love the food and the atmosphere here. Being from Hawaii I'm a bit of a critic when it comes to sushi or ramen spots, but this place is on point. I doubt you'll be disappointed. read more

The sushi here is amazing! Servers were very polite and were active in making sure everything was good. The Calamari however is crispier and tangier compared to other places. It's a bit too oily imo but definitely can tell it was freshly made. read more

If you've ever visited proper ramen houses like Shin Sen Gumi, Daikokuya, Orochon, etc in densely Asian populated areas like Los Angeles, San Francisco, New Jersey, etc, you'll instantly recognize the proper Tonkotsu broth. No other ramen houses in the Treasure Valley area comes close to the amount of umami and flavor from the ramen. I also got the takoyaki which is a common Japanese item and it was piping hot as it should be. The Chashu in the ramen also melts in your mouth. I can't speak to the sushi or other items on the menu since I didn't get them, but I typically wouldn't order sushi at a ramen house anyways. Ramen of your choice plus a bowl like a Chashu don, soboro don, or the gyudon, would be the perfect combo. Interior design is reminiscent of a proper Japanese ramen house. read more

Saw the mixed reviews and decided to try anyways. Sadly have to agree with the more negative ones. The place is clean and the staff/service was good but the food left us unsatisfied. Salmon was questionable and the rolls were rather bland even covered in sauce. For the price and small selection of rolls I would suggest other sushi spots in the valley before this one. read more

Great spot for a good meal! Got the pork buns to share which were 10/10. Flavorful and the bun was soft. Tried a few temakis and the taco sushi's. Temakis were perfect, the taco sushi's were almost too stuffed but I guess at least they don't skimp! Would love to come back and try their ramens. read more

Mango sushi roll was amazing. Service was nice. We order appetizers and our main course items. Our main course came out before the appetizers and I had to remind our server several times that I was waiting on side of rice. We just felt rushed. When we asked for a to-go box they brought out some dirty containers. It had some leftover food in it and it was cracked on the side. Again ramen was mid, mango roll was amazing. read more

Hit the soft open of Kinya, Ramen and Sushi. For just being opened, the table was pretty dirty. Could tell we weren't the first to use the booth or the soy sauce (dried soy on the top). The service was quick but our waitress was open mouth chewing her gum...eww...and she was a little rude. We mentioned we lived in the neighborhood and she said in a rude tone, "Yah, everyone does." The food was good. It was obvious it was a soft open because the presentation was not what you usually get at a sushi restaurant. The California roll smelled unusually fishy...unsure if it was the seaweed. The table next to us had Ramen bowls, which looked really good. We will go back and try them again, after they have had some practice. read more

Both times I've eaten there it took quite a long time for the food to come out. The ramen was tasty but nothing special. As far as sushi, I've had better sushi at Boise Coop with a larger portion size and less money. I think their portions are small and their prices are high for mid level food. I had high hopes for Kinya . This place is close to me but I would drive out of my way to another restaurant for the same price with better food. read more

Im excited for the potential this restaurant has. We went on a Friday of "opening week" and we were pleasantly surprised by the service and food. The food was pretty good. The Ramen was okay. I think they were still working out little kinks. They didn't have beer available yet but said they would be soon. We will be going back soon now that they've been open for a few weeks. read more

We just left the place. We got in 8:20pm. We were sat down almost immediately. The host asked if we wanted anything to drink, so we said water for now. No other information was given to us, i.e. what menu items are no longer in stock etc. After that, my family and I looked at the menu. We waited for a server to approach us to take our order and we noticed that a couple more tables sat after us and the server took their orders already. The person who sat us down approached us, gave us chips, and then asked us "did someone took your order?" We politely said "no" and then she left. A couple more tables were sat down, and they too got their orders taken. At this point we have been waiting for 20 minutes to have our orders taken. I approached one of the staff, and told her that we have been waiting for a while now, and we haven't had our orders taken and that there has been several tables who sat after us and had their orders already taken. She then proceeded to tell me that "oh maybe she gave your table to me but I haven't able to". She approached our table, we gave her our order, and then she told us that they are sold out of Chashu. If we had known this at the start, when the initial server gave us our water, then we could have avoided waiting and wasting almost half an hour waiting for nothing. We told the server we will just be leaving, since we are already frustrated, and hungry. The server told us "oh it's not my fault", absolutely no ownership. An apology, and a statement to do better would have stopped me from leaving this review. I dislike people who do not take ownership of their mistakes. read more

First class staff in an attractive asian setting. Booths are separated with a Japanese cottage feel. Quite authentic! Didn't try Ramen yet but the almond chicken and lamb brochettes were delicious. Chicken wings were a treat! Think this is a national chain and very happy to find them here in Meridien. read more

The food was absolutely delicious, and our server Mak was amazing--so attentive and friendly. We will definitely be coming back!

We picked up one bowl of ramen ($16) , an order of fries($6) , one volcano roll($13) and a boba drink($6). It was $52.30 with tax and tip. Outrageous!! The quantity was small, the food wasn't appealing or good tasting and the cost was insane. Never ever again!! Go somewhere else people.......don't waste your hard earned money!! read more

Food was pretty good. My husband didnt like the raman dish he had. We lived in Japan for 4 years so we know good fresh made noodles when we taste them. But all in all food was good. Minimal Sushi menu but enough to choose from. No Yakisoba which I was really hoping for but that's okay. For a true authentic Japanese restaurant, playing 80's music if weird to me. Maybe I am just used to Japan but I feel they should play music more related to the Japanese culture, which I love by the way. We loved our time there. Music doesnt play on the far left of the restaurant where we sat, which was fine for us because like said, 80's music playing is not the right vibe for this place. Waitress has ZERO ZERO personality. I feel like I should apply to help them out. When she took our order she said "what am I doing for you today?" Weird. Not "you have any questions about the menu?" Or "what can I get started for you?" I am big on customer service because I am in the service industry so she honestly should not be a server. Very blah and no smile. We tried to get her to laugh and nothing. With that and the music, I was turned off. I would go back and give it another shot though because that's who I am but seriously, change the music. It's very tacky for a Japanese restaurant. read more

The tonkatsu and spicey ramen were solid. The service was super sporadic, think maybe a shift change was happening no idea. The sushi and sushi taco was some of the most tasteless food I have eaten, especially for the price. There too many great places to eat sushi around town now, and for a much better price. Additionally the lack of blinds on the windows made it hard to enjoy a meal in the afternoon sun blaring through. read more

We ordered the Kinya Ramen...it wasn't terrible but it also wasn't anything mind-blowing either. The service was not great. They had maybe 5 tables and our server was behaving like she has 20 tables. read more

My favorite ramen in the Boise area! I love the tonkotsu ramen with a side of chili oil. I lived in San Diego for a few years while in the military and they had the best ramen! This was the closest ramen I could find in the area that I enjoy. It has a nice creamy savory broth that gives you that feeling of warmth. Definitely check them out!! Cindy our waitress is friendly and down to earth. Great place to go! read more
