    Tonkotsu Gyoza

    Everything was delicious! Service was great and food was ready fast. Will return again

    After pouring in broth

    I've only had one thing here but that one thing was delicious. Small restaurant in quiet shopping center, not many patrons inside, I've gotten my order to go both times. The staff is sweet and easy to talk to. Both times my order to go was delicious, the broth was still hot after my 15 mins drive home. I really enjoy their garlicky tonkotsu broth. The ramen is perfect for a rainy day, to go order.

    the food is amazing, it really sets the environment well. i love the service, even though it's sometimes run by one person, i love the effort they put in this bussiness. i used to come in here as a kid and i loved the food and the ramen. it's amazing, 10/10

    Came here for a quick lunch and enjoyed the no-frills approach. You order at the front cashier and then the food comes out (pretty fast, no issues for us there). The cashier was super friendly and welcoming! We ordered the edamame, seaweed salad, and tonkotsu ramens. Everything arrived piping hot, cooked to order. The ramen had a nice, deep flavor and was a perfect portion. Easy parking as it is located in a strip center.

    I like that this ramen restaurant allows the customer to place an order then sit at a table. It feels less formal than most ramen restaurants but tastes about the same. I wasn't happy that the tonkotsu doesn't come with many toppings- it does not include corn or bamboo. However the toppings were tasty. The broth and noodles, on the other hand, were lackluster. It wasn't a decent bowl for a quick bite but nothing about it blew me away.

    Food was amazing. Service was definitely appreciated First time here and didn't know how to order I figured it out pretty quickly but the service worker was there along the way to provide a helping hand. I absolutely love the ambiance I have no idea why this place only has 3.5 stars. It's a 5 in my book! I'll definitely be coming back for lunch again and I highly recommend this spot! Great ramen

    Best in town hands down my fav has never let me down ! Customer service is amazing and is just over all feel very welcomed food is always cooked to perfection 10/10 usually come here 2-3 times a week. If your craving a savory ramen this is the place to go to

    Ramen Jin is tucked inside a little shopping center with plenty of parking. The Houston weather turned drizzly, so I got a ramen craving and popped in on a whim. There seem to have been a good amount of diners judging by the number of uncleared bowls on the tables. This is an order-at-the-counter restaurant, so I'm, not sure how they didn't have the staff to clear away the dirty dishes. Especially since it really limited our seating options. Ordering at the counter was quick and easy. The cashier was able to tell me the toppings that come with the tonkotsu ramen (chasu, wood ear mushrooms, scallions, and a ramen egg). I would have loved more included toppings or at least listed prices on the additional topping options rather than "prices vary". I felt very full after finishing almost my entire bowl, so I definitely didn't *need* the extra toppings. I think my jaw dropped after my first sip of the tonkotsu broth - I'm amazed at how rich and flavorful it was. I almost exclusively order tonkotsu whenever I visit ramen restaurants, so I was happily surprised.

    Fast service, nice employees, fairly simple menu. Broth of the tonkotsu ramen was great and the pork meat was very tender falling apart very easily. Good amount of ramen noodles and the egg was cooked with a nice soft yolk.

    Ramen Jin's tonkotsu ramen was still as good as I remembered it to be. We were on our way home and got tonkotsu ramen to go for dinner. The broth was separated from the noodles and toppings, as it should be. We brought it home and it was delicious. The broth was creamy and brimming with pork flavor. The chashu pieces were melt in your mouth good. The ajitama egg was cooked perfectly and seasoned well. The noodles and veggies had the right texture as well. The surprising thing is that Ramen Jin has kept their ramen prices reasonable compared to other ramen spots, without compromising portion sizes. So, I appreciated this. If you haven't tried their tonkotsu ramen, go try it out now. This ramen alone is worth it, IMO.

    You have to use finesse and a delicate touch, you can just be ramen away all night and hope for results. Although that has its moments. I'm not a big fan of ramen in general and Houston doesn't really have a good versions of it except maybe Ramen Okidoki and Tamashi (now a chain). This one is not bad and I will give it a generous four for being a little more enjoyable than most, also a little more popular than most, although also a little overpriced - but it is also underrated by some.

Flying V Harvest was fantastic. I drank that broth like I just came out of the Sahara. So good. The Impossible meat fusion is a funny add but a good protein bump. It was a few days ago but I think I'm still full from that ramen bowl. The vibe is modern high ceiling bumping music; my in-laws found it to be too loud. I think they are giving you an excuse to lean in and get a little closer to your companion. The vibe is chic yet also casual so bring whoever you want but this would work for date night. The font on the menus is squint inducing so do your research ahead of time or prepare to spend more time perusing the menu than usual, especially with the dim lighting. They offer thin or thick noodles and can mix some broth options to adjust spice level. Drinks- the smoked in front of your face whiskey is a treat and a show. Solid spot. No regrets. Salivating at the thought of the next visit.

    We decided we wanted ramen on a recent cold Houston night and went to one of our consistent places,…read moreJINYA. JINYA is located in the heart of midtown in a popular restaurant strip. Their ramen is flavorful and solid and their service is consistent. Parking: parking is free in the garage around the corner from JINYA. We went during the week and the garage was not packed. There's also paid street parking around the restaurant that you can find but look for signs to know when you have to pay and when you don't. Service: service here is very good. They have an army of waitresses and waiters who check on tables and we never had to ask for refills or never had to flag down someone. Our food came out in a timely manner. The one thing I will say about service is the appetizers we ordered came out right before our ramen so we had all of our food at one time which was a lot. I wish they would've spaced out the food timing a little more. Ambiance: JINYA has a modern interior and open concept. They have tables, booths, and 2 big community tables in the center of the restaurant. The restaurant playlist is hip and modern. The inside of the restaurant is dimly lit so if you have bad eyesight, get ready to use your flashlight to read the menu. Food: we ordered two ramens and the gyoza and edamame. Gyoza: these were fried well and had a gyoza sauce that came on the table. The wrapper was thin and they were not too oily. We would order this again. Edamame: this was typical edamame. Nothing too special. Would not get this again when we come back. Creamy Classic Tori-Paitian: this is a chicken ramen with wavy noodles that came with fried enoki mushrooms, chicken chasu, butter, spinach and a corn rib. This ramen was rich in flavor and had so many fun, delicious toppings. The corn run was grilled nicely and I wish I had more of them in my bowl. I'm a sucker for enoki mushrooms and this did not disappoint. I took the enoki mushrooms out of the ramen immediately so they didn't get soggy fast and that was the move if you want the mushrooms to stay crunchy. The chicken broth was rich and light which was a great combo. I finished this bowl to the last drop. JINYA Chicken Ramen: my girlfriend got the chicken ramen with a side of bamboo. Warning on the bamboo: the bamboo comes dressed in sesame oil and sole hot oil so they are a little spicy. The chicken ramen broth was once again rich with flavor and light. The chicken chase was good and this ramen comes with thin noodles instead of wavy noodles. Overall JINYA hits the spot when craving ramen or some hot soup on a cold day. The chicken broth is legit and I will be closing back to try the pork broth soon. My only qualm with JINYA is the price at over $17 per bowl of ramen. There are cheaper ramen places but JINYA flavor makes up for the priciness.

We arrived around 5:40pm on a Friday night and there was plenty of seating. However, by the time we finished around 6:30pm the restaurant was bustling. The waiter told us he expected a very busy evening. Chicken karaage arrived first and was done very nicely. The exterior was super crispy and the inside juicy and moist. Yum. I was seriously tempted to order another plate since it only came with 6-7 pieces. Next, all the ramens came out. I got the shoyu truffle which I enjoyed a lot. I liked that you can taste the truffle flavor without it being overpowering. Also liked that the broth itself wasn't as salty as some ramen places. Noodles were al dente and all the toppings were tasty! Loved that the char sui actually had a good amount of lean meat versus it being mostly fat. The char grilled bamboo shoots were a nice touch as well. I tried my son's tonkotsu shoyu and enjoyed it too. I think my least favorite was my husband's tonkotsu gachi ramen, but he enjoyed it. Overall had a very good experience and look forward to coming back!

I was excited to stop in and try it on a Monday around 1pm. The inside of the restaurant is really nicely done. It has a bar area and tables. I was sat at a table. The ordering system is through a QR code. It was fine and I paid with Apple Pay. You can also type in your credit card. I chose the tonkatsu ramen with the lunch special add on of pork and rice for 3.90. The ramen was a 7/10 for me. The egg, the pork and the broth lacked flavor. The flavor on the pork in the rice dish was better, but the rice was overcooked and mushy. I gave up on my bowl about halfway through and left unsatisfied. I don't think I'll be back.

It is next to mensho but the line is much shorter. I will say the system for their waiting list is a bit confusing.

They deserve 4.5 stars because come on it's 24/7 ramen. Parking is cool but limited. First impression walking in was that it has this really unique and dope vibe. I love the set up and it was giving spacious. There were cassette tapes aligned on the wall in the booth we sat in, which I thought was very creative. There was Anime characters above the doors when you first walk in, with Anime playing on the TVs at the bar. Oh yeah, THERES A FULL BAR if you ready to get your drink on.

Our table was clean which is very important to us and our waitress Yasmin was kind and patient with our questions, and dietary substitutions. We ordered the Super Saiyan Nachos as an appetizer for $16. Maaann, these were so delicious!!!!! We actually substituted the pork for shiitake mushrooms and when I tell y'all we were surprised at the portion We both looked at each other like "YAAASSSSSS" Next came our Ramen orders which didn't take long at all. Not that we were counting because we were INDULGED in those nachos LOL Babii rated her Oxtail Ramen a '7/10' for $25. She would've preferred to get shiitake mushrooms because she particularly didn't like the fact that the Oxtails were shredded and not on the bone (which is what we both expected when reading it). She also would've liked if they gave her a spice option since she likes spicy ramen. Unfortunately, we had to purchase a nasty 'Kappa' sauce which was not worth the $1.50. To her the portion size was A1, however we paid for the meat so it wasn't worth the $25. Now, the Vegetable Garden to me was a '8.5/10' it was good, had amazing portion size and they were not lacking in the texture department. I mean, the spinach noodles were delish, vegetable cooked very Al dente. I cannot complain on that part. To me it was missing a bit of flavor, maybe salt would've done the trick. Overall though, it did have the flavor of the mushrooms which wasn't bad. Most importantly though, I felt light after consuming my meal. Therefore, I have to give it all a high rating. GO TRY THIS PLACE OUT, ITS WORTH THE TRY
