| - Bless all the places that let me live out my late-night adventures without going to bed starved or spending money on unworthy late-night snacks. Jinya is open until 3 am and thus one of these places. It is always, always worth it.
The restaurant is bigger on the inside than it looks on the outside. There are regular tables, a bar, and a big table in the middle, at which customers sit with other random customers. Jinya may be a little on the dimly lit side, but then I guess that's the atmosphere they're going for as a barstaurant. The servers are speedy, helpful, and friendly. Drinks are kept refilled and orders are taken immediately. The cooking time is also reasonable. I've never had to wait longer than 13 minutes for my order, regardless of how busy the place was.
And then of course, there is the ramen. Sweet, sweet Jinya ramen. The egg is one of my favorite parts. It is cooked just enough for it to be solid on the outside and smooth and soft on the inside - just the way I love it! Each serving of ramen comes with thick well-cooked noodles and plenty of meat, no short-selling there. Actually, can we talk about how the prices are crazy low for the huge portions of ramen that are served here? I have never come out of this restaurant anything less than full. In fact, I sometimes wish I had a little more room left for dessert, that's how big the portions are.
My only gripe about this place are the windows: The one time I was here during noon, the sun was shining through the windows so badly that my friends were practically blinded throughout their entire meal. I'd love if this place adjusted their blinds a little so that wouldn't happen to people sitting on the window side during lunch. That by itself is not worth a downvote, though. 5 stars from me!
