| - Yaassssss! I finally found another decent ramen place to add to my list in Vegas. Thanks to my friend's recommendation, I was able to finally check out JINYA.
This place was ridiculously delicious, but a little pricey for Vegas prices. For a party of two with one appetizer, we spent about $37 bucks with tip and tax. Who would have thought that sin city had some good ramen places, huh? JINYA would be in the top 3 ramen places in Vegas. The place was also well-decorated too and had a nice hipster vibe to mesh with the overall atmosphere.
JINYA was generous with portions and offered a huge variety of topping options. I ordered the JINYA Tonkotsu Black with thick noodles. I enjoyed the noodles as they were perfectly cooked and chewy. The broth was decent, but unfortunately, the flavor wasn't as delicious as Monta's Black Tonkotsu version. It wasn't bad, don't get me wrong. As far as flavoring and taste goes, it's a solid 3.5-4/5. The noodles, meat and seasoned egg were a solid 5/5.
We also ordered the fried Shrimp Balls, which I highly recommend! It had just the right amount of crunch, shrimp and cream cheese that made it beyond orgasmic.
Overall, this place is a solid choice to dine for a quick bite. We went on Monday around 5 and were seated quickly. If I had to wait in line for this place, I probably wouldn't wait more than 20 minutes. The service was attentive and friendly, especially when we told them it was our first time at the restaurant! Our waters were always constantly refilled and they routinely checked up on us to see how things were going.
