| - I'm not gonna lie, I don't usually go out for ramen. It's usually too salty, so I just make chapagetti at home and I'm happy. But I saw that Jinya just opened and it offered a happy hour?! I just had to check it out.
Jinya opens up at 3pm, which is also when their HH starts (3- 5pm) which is great if you want to enjoy some ramen and different appetizers/beer. They even offer bottomless mimosas for $10! I love how extensive their menu is! There are about 10 different ramen to choose from, you can also turn it into a combo which includes a salad + your choice (either gyoza, chasu bowl, curry rice, california roll, crispy chicken.) And if you're not feeling like ramen, you can order off their tapas menu which includes salads, curry and rice bowls, desserts, and more.
I ordered the Tonkotsu Black Ramen and Jinya Bun. The Jinya bun was a great start to the meal! The Chasu Pork had the melt in yo mouth consistency and the gooeyness from the barbecue sauce went perfectly together.
The ramen was just as described and looked exactly like the picture! What sets Jinya apart from the others is the flavor of their broth. My tastebuds are usually hit by overload of salt and it just ruins the experience for me. However, with Jinya's broth, the garlic oil, garlic chips, fried onion, and chili paste added depth to the broth and changed my perspective on going out for ramen. I'm actually really excited to come back for more!
