| - I've been to JINYA many times and finally decided to do a review this time around. Overall I can say since I've been multiple times they are still very good. They have maintained the flavours and service which is why I find myself always going back.
I went for Sunday afternoon lunch and the restaurant wasn't full so we got a seat right away. We were served right when we sat down with water and asked for our orders.
I ordered the sprouting up ramen (pork and chicken broth: pork chashu, kikurage, spicy bean sprouts, green onion, half seasoned egg*, crispy brussels sprouts, black pepper, ginger "served with thick noodles) I asked for no ginger and they easily accommodated that change. The soup was delicious, hot in temperature, and not too thick and heavy. It was very flavourful and light. It comes with two pieces of chashu and a ton of toppings and noodles. They definitely don't cheap out in that! The Brussel sprouts are so good but obviously once in the soup they're not as crispy anymore. But none the less still very good!
My bf ordered the tonkatsu black (pork broth: pork chashu, kikurage, green onion, nori dried seaweed, seasoned egg*, garlic chips, garlic oil, fried onion, spicy sauce " served with thin noodles). The soup was rich and overly thick and greasy. Noodles tasted fresh and came with all the toppings mentioned. The tonkatsu black is one of my favourites. I love the flavour of the soup as it tastes different from other places. It has such intense flavours without being over powering and overly salty.
Jinya is one of my favourite places for ramen because they have a huge variety spanning from pork, chicken and vegetarian. They also always have new things!
Only down side now is that I think they took away their lunch combos. Otherwise overall still love jinya!
