For a long time now, my favorite ramen variety has been miso. I enjoy a hearty broth, and most tonkotsu broths don't deliver. Jinya makes a mean tonkotsu broth though, and it's been consistent enough that I don't mind skipping my usual ramen spot. I'm not settling when I come to Jinya, I'm simply going with a different alternative.
When ordering a bowl of ramen, you also have an option of turning it into a combo meal. Not the french fry and Coke variety, but the ramen and gyoza variety. Or ramen and karaage. Ramen and chicken chashu? Ramen and pork chashu. If you have an appetite for more than just soup, you can add on a salad and side dish of your choice for only $4 or $5 extra.
Outside of their delicious tonkotsu broth and combo meals, the other big reason I enjoy coming here isn't even food related; it's the fact that they have a bar! I dine solo quite often, and every time I come here I've been able to grab a seat at the bar without waiting. Food is consistent, and service is super friendly. Two things that make it easy for me to be a fan of Jinya.
