| - Since they don't take resos, we arrived just as they opened for lunch. Good thing too because it was quite nippy out, there's no waiting area and it got really busy shortly after (more on that in a bit).
There's definitely a lot of options including rice bowls and snacks, but stuck with what we were there for: the ramen!
My Tonkotsu Black looked and sounded appetizing enough: pork broth, kikurage, nori, seasoned egg, garlic chips, fried onions and spicy sauce on thin noodles. The savoury broth was a perfect richness and there was a decent amount of noodles and meat to fill me up.
The venue isn't very big but it is open concept. Once it gets busy, it gets really loud. In addition to the music, there's yelling/greeting from the service staff as people come in and the diners talking over each other, it's quite difficult to maintain a conversation. Your options could be to come at an off time or I guess you can contribute to the noise and be loud as well lol
The food is decent and so is the price. I'm glad I waited for the hype to die down before trying JINYA.
