Jinya Ramen
I was super impressed with their service and the way they work in their kitchen. We sat at the counter which over looks the kitchen and all the chefs preparing the food. What I watched was precise coordination, communication and execution of all the dishes. They also follow COVID protocols, temp. check, social distancing etc. Staff wears masks and gloves. Wait staff also wears shields.
When you walk in the first thing you will notice is their either the gorgeous mural on the wall or the full bar. Or perhaps the gorgeous light fixtures hanging from the cieling. There is so much to look at! They have TV’s, great lighting and comfortable seats. For seating they have booths, table seating, bar seating and counter seating. I love that there are soft covers on the chairs too. There is a lot of chatter and you can hear the chefs chant “your order is ready” in Japanese once your order is up.

My son ordered the Sprouting Up Ramen which came with pork and chicken broth, pork chashu, kikurage, spicy bean sprouts, green onion, half seasoned egg, crispy brussels sprouts, black pepper and ginger and was served with thick noodles.
My Husband Ordered the JINYA Chicken Ramen which had chicken broth, chicken chashu, kikurage, green onion and fried onion and served with thin noodles. They even have Vegan options!
Now lets talk about the kids meals. Jinya has the best kids meals I have seen in a super long time. There is only 1 option but it is packed with a bunch of different items. I have one of the pickiest kids I know and when I looked over to see if she started eating she was already done with her meal. She literally wolfed it down it was so good. It it a chicken ramen bowl with kikurage namul and corn, chicken chashu rice, crispy chicken, French fries, orange, candy and vanilla ice cream. She loved it and I appreciated that the ramen was kept simple.
