With all the ramen shops in town, I have to say Jinya is definitely one of my favorites. Since the first time I started going, I feel like the food has gradually been getting better. There were some items on the menu that were a bit questionable before but now I find myself here quite often ordering those exact same items. Also, just like any typical ramen shop, it's a bit tiny so always be prepared for a 15-25min wait depending on the time of day you go.
They have quite the variety of ramen and rice bowls. The Tonkotsu Black and Cha Cha Cha ramen bowls are definitely great if you're a garlic lover. I usually ask for a side of fresh garlic so I can garlic press straight into my soup until my heart is content. Plus you can get a noodle refill for only $1.60 if all you're left with is broth.
I always stop by for their Happy Hour that runs daily from 3pm-5pm and 10pm-12am. They have the most amazing Salmon Poke tacos. I don't know what sauce they use to marinate with, but seriously, those tacos are godly. They are not stingy with the amount of salmon that goes into the two tacos either and it's only $3! I also always get the Jinya Bun, which includes a nice buttery slice of pork belly.
WIth Jinya's late hours and amazing music playlists, I will continue to find myself here and will hopefully try out some more dishes.
