JINYA Ramen Bar

We were surprised what this small place offers. Nice unique décor. A huge table in the middle where people can sit and there are booths on the side. The ramen noodles that we had were all good, the best broth that we had was Jinya Chicken. I always get the dessert Panna Cotta, which is the best ending to a nice warm meal.

I’ve been visiting this Ramen Shop since they opened at this location at least 1x a week. I love their Ramen. Over the course of that time the price has gone up a couple of times, but I’ve dealt with it as the servers are all friendly, know my order right when I come in, and I’m happy when I finish!
The last menu change and price increase unfortunately has crossed the line for me. They no longer offer Tonkatsu Assari (#3) in all its glory. The closest thing to this is now something with brussel sprouts and extra pork. I don’t mind the extra pork and it’s probably still a good price for what you get, but the latest price increase brings my regular order to close to 50% more than what it was when they first opened. I could just change my order to accommodate their new menu, but with so many other Ramen shops around that offer a lower price bowl or Ramen that has everything I want in it (and nothing more that I have to pay for) it’s hard to justify staying a regular here. Makes me a little bit sad since it’s SO close to my office and a great lunch option. I asked the server if they could just keep giving me what I like to order. They are able to do some substitutions and get it pretty much how I like it but the price remains higher.
Perhaps you can keep Tonkatsu Assari as it used to be as an «off the menu» option for regulars like myself. You’ll definitely win back my regular business and Unilocal Stars!!! I would rate it lower for the menu change, but the food is still quite good so I can’t go lower than this.

By far my favorite ramen bar! I should mention that I haven’t tried Monta, but that’s because I can’t get enough of Jinya.
Service is incredibly fast, and even when there’s a wait, it moves pretty quick. I always get Tonkatsu Black with and extra egg and a Jinya bun.
Late night hours are also really convenient for me. Just a great place overall.

Quality wise, i would give it 3 stars because i have been accustomed to very good ramen (Totto, Ramen Dojo, Mensho Ramen), but I give this ramen parlor 4 stars since it was a savior for late diners like myself.
I got to Vegas at 11:40 pm, and after checking in my hotel, I figured not too many good restaurants were still open. Luckily, JINYA opened until 3 AM, so i made a trip there.
Surprisingly, there were still lots of people waiting in front of the restaurant at 12:30 AM, and I also had to wait 30 minutes before I was seated.
Quality wise, the ramen was decent. I had the Tonkotsu black ramen. The broth was decent, the meat was decent. Every thing was decent. Not too bad and not very good in my opinion. The roasted seaweed was not crunchy so that was a minus.
It came out to be $ 14 including tax and tips. A pretty decent choice for late night dinner in Sin city.

I am a picky eater, especially when it comes to Ramen. My standard was Monta on eastern. I heard this place was good and decided to give it a try on my lunch break one day. I sat at the bar and the service was very fast. The server was kind enough to give suggestions and answered any questions I had. I tried the spicy Chicken Ramen and added corn. It was absolutely delicious and now Jinya is my favorite ramen place in town. It is a bit of a trek from my house, but totally worth it.

This was my first restaurant ramen experience and it was fantastic. Jimya looks very small from the outside, but it is roomier than it looks once you’re inside. I went with a group of 7 for a work lunch right at noon and the service was quick and correct! I ordered the spicy chicken and added a poached egg and was not at all disappointed. I had to ask the server what Tokyo Negri was (listed with the ingredients) and I learned a new fact of the day — Tokyo Negri is a Japanese onion. You can order the ramen as mild, spicy, or HOT. Spicy was pretty darn spicy, so I can only imagine that hot was high up on the spicy scale.
Our table was in and out of there in about 45 minutes tops and all of us thought our food was delicious. I will definitely add this restaurant into the lunch rotation going forward.

What an enjoyable ramen bar. I always come just for their crispy shrimp balls but of course their ramen is good, too.
The interior is great and since I come in at night, it has dim lighting. They don’t close until 3 AM which is even better :-)
Service is always excellent and our drinks are always filled.
I like ending our dinner with green tea mochi and it honestly ends my night well every time.

Been here several times and food is consistently great. So much flavor. Good portion and I never leave hungry. Simple spicy chicken Ramen will always cure my hunger pains.
Veggie Ramen is also very good and also loaded with flavor.
The kids meal was great because of the variety and price. For $ 7 you get chicken tenders, fries, salad, fruit, ramen, and dessert. I might just get this for my self next time. My two kids split the one meal and could not finish it.

So I’ve eaten here on a number of occasions, and I can’t say I hate nor can I say I love it. but there are a number of reasons why this Ramen spot is getting a solid 3 stars from me. food is good but not mind blowing, and it’s kinda over priced in my honest opinion, servers here are hit or miss like they’re either really nice and on top of it, or really spaced out and not all too together and there.
I come here mostly when friends want to eat here as a group or whatnot, and my boyfriend and I came here together once so he could try it out (he wasn’t so much a fan) I think the inconsistency in their service is one of the main dampers to this place. one time the server was coming around to a group of mine collecting plates and bowls that were finished and my friend next to me wasn’t quite down with her ramen and instead of asking and waiting for a response, she asked, «are you finished?» while she basically grabbed the bowl but she grabbed it in a way that she placed her thumb in the inside rim of my friend’s ramen bowl. umm unsanitary and gross dude seriously. ask and then wait before you go sticking your fingers in other people’s ramen bowls. geez lol
The ramen is solid good, but I always tend to get the chicken ramen and never really venture off to anything different unless its the appetizers options… but if i’m coming here for ramen, I always get the same ramen lol I wanna definitely try their drive thru. which to me is kinda mind blowing awesome that they even have a drive thru but I wonder how quick and efficient that is. ramen in drive thru
but my boyfriend felt his broth was a bit too salty, but again a little over priced for less traditional ramen spot, wait on the weekends or rainy days are especially long and there’s no real waiting area.
I do have to say the female’s restroom is kick ass toilet seat! I’m assuming its from Japan, but it’s definitely one of those high tech toilet/​bidet combinations. but the seat is heated and it sanitizes the seat with a spray when the automatic sensor is activated to lift the seat cover. most high tech throne I’ve ever sat on. lol
They do have a small bar area to sit on. only seats up to 4 guest at the bar. They have a large community table that seats about 25 people, then lining the establishments are booth sittings that fit either 2 — 6 guest depending on the booth.
They offer a lot of side add on items but each item add on is usually additional $ 1.00 if your ramen is $ 10.95 then you add poached egg, extra spinach, corn, etc etc you just added additional $ 3 making your Ramen $ 14. idk to me it just comes out a little bit pricier than other spots I’ve been to. the serving size is average; nothing large like a large bowl of phở, but its not small either. Tends to be usually be just right, but I’m a huge soup over noodles fan. so I tend to always finish my soup first and still looking for more when I’m finishing the noodles.
Again the ambiance of the place if definitely more modern than traditional, but their menu is pretty straight to the point with not too much fusion options which makes choosing pretty simple. I do like that they have a half off certain appetizers Happy Hour 10p-​12am, but I just don’t like how if you order appetizers, your tapas tend to come out after the Ramen, especially if you order the Dynamite tapas. That one is actually really good and comes with 4 small toasted baguette slices to place the dynamite mixture on and its very tasty and not too creamy, like its not swimming in cream cheese which I like. but i prefer my appetizer as an appetizer before the main meal. just saying.
Again, I have mixed feeling about this place like some days I’m into it and most I’m like ehh. but really can’t go wrong with Ramen in cold or rainy weather and this is relatively close to my house so nothing mind blowing here but solid good ramen, but not my top spot.

This place is as dark as a dungeon. I don’t mind a little mood lighting but I’d like to be able to read the menu too. Aside from the darkness, the restaurant is pretty cute considering it use to be a Taco Bell. Too bad they didn’t keep the drive thru, that would’ve been awesome.
So far, I’ve had the spicy chicken, tonkatsu black, cha cha cha, and miso ramen. They were all ok. The broth is just too rich and fatty tasting for my personal preference. I actually prefer the tapas over the ramen. The Jinya bun is pretty tasty and I love the crispy shrimp balls. Service has always been prompt and polite.

The first two times I ate here, I wasn’t very impressed with their food, but I liked this restaurants space and also the lighting. I started to really enjoy Jinya when I tried out their Jinya Buns. DEE-​LISH. So good. Seriously. Too bad it’s about $ 4 for a small bun. Their noodles are tasty, their broth is good.
I haven’t tried their drive-​thru, which blows my mind; you don’t see Ramen drive thrus ever! But I hope their food is just as good and fresh there as it is for those who dine in.
The customer service here is decent. Their bathroom is dope; at least the women’s restroom is. They have a bidet toilet lol!
My only complaint is from the very first time I ate there; I ordered an egg, the girl left to check on it because I never received it, and then she never returned.
And the other complaint was from last night. They didn’t have a sign saying they were out of pork broth, and when I ordered the noodles I decided to try out for dinner, the server said they’re out of pork broth, so he narrowed my choices down to half of what they’re already limited menu had.
I decided, fine, all I want is a Jinya bun, that’s really all I care for. But then the man says they’re out of that too. I was ready to leave by then because nothing else appeals to me, but my boyfriend had already ordered so I had no choice. I then decided on an a shrimp appetizer… The server then told me they were out of that too. I just about lost it! What else is gone??? So I settled for a random ramen entrée that I wasn’t familiar with.
Normally I’ve had good experiences here, with the exception of my first time and last night. Honestly the only thing that keeps me coming back is the Jinya Bun and the fact that they’re a spacious restaurant with easy parking.

I only came here for the fancy Japanese toilet… and I wasn’t disappointed. I ordered my food and then discreetly slipped away to the little girl’s room. I was trying very hard not to skip or run but that’s how excited I was. I got inside and locked the door behind me and approached the glorious throne and to my surprise the lid flung open and lights and water mists beckoned me to come and sit. I popped a squat and heard a chorus of angels as the toasty sensation enveloped my buns.
Went on Saturday 4−23−16 at 12PM for lunch. $ 35.37 got us two bowls of ramen, a salad, two drinks, and a brussel sprout appetizer.
I got the tonkotsu assari ramen for $ 8.80 and added corn for an additional dollar. The broth was perfect and I love the tiny bit of spice they put on the top. I wish there was one more piece of chasu because the piece that was in there was wonderful. My only issue (and this may be a personal preference) was that the egg was refrigerator-​cold on the inside. When the tamago is hot on the outside and cold on the inside it is so gross to me.
The baby leaf salad was a steal for $ 3.80 and covered in the most delicious garlicky dressing. The fried brussel sprouts were wonderful, too! I was able to snag a wonton from my dining partner’s ramen and it was marvelous.
Come for the fancy potty, stay for the tasty ramen.

Hey! I’ve been here many times. Truthfully, I always enjoyed Monta more than Jinya. Though, arguably their menus are very different from each other. But now that I’m trying to eat mostly vegan, I loooove Jinya! Before you stop reading because you’re not vegan, their Spicy Creamy Vegan Ramen is out of this world! I honestly like it more than the several non-​vegan ramen soups I’ve tried here which includes chicken, pork and vegetarian based broths. My least favorite has been the vegetarian ramen, it’s really heavy on the vegetables which actually takes away from the ramen. But truly, do yourself a favor and try the vegan ramen. It’s so tasty!
Also, the quinoa salad is super delicious! I got it without tomatoes (personal preference) and we ate it right up. I really recommend this, it’s so good!
My boyfriend ordered the spicy chicken ramen with a poached egg, a regular for him. He was very happy with his meal. But the star here is the vegan ramen! I can’t get over how good it is! Give it a try, even if you’re a meat eater :)

Good ramen.
Service overall was great, ladies were friendly and one seemed super Japanese lol.
Anyways this was the first time I had ramen where the noodles were super thick and chewy. I thought it was pretty good.
I forgot what dishes we ordered so I’ll update this later.
Would I recommend this place? Yes
Will it blow your mind? Not sure, but it’s pretty tasty
Would I come back? If I’m not hitting buffets in Vegas, definitely.

Oooh fancy fancy! I’m not going to pretend I didn’t eat a ton of the .25 cent packages of Top Ramen back in the day. but now that I am older, I am all about this fancy ramen and JINYA is my favorite place to slurp up some curly noodles.
My first visit to JINYA was with some of my favorite Unilocalers, Jessica M. and Dyanna L., both who had made multiple visits to JINYA and were able to guide me through ordering. I have since returned with my husband and every experience has been excellent. Never too long a wait to be seated, friendly and efficient service and the ambiance is quite nice as well.
The chicken ramen is my go-​to order, the broth is so flavorful. I always get some additions to customize my order: I love adding butter, mushrooms, corn and LOTS of freshly pressed garlic. JINYA has more than ramen, the tempura brussel sprouts are a must get, they are amazing.
For your late night, party animal types: JINYA is open until 3 am, and has Happy Hour from 3−5pm AND 10pm-​12am!
Pro tip: Do not leave without checking out the restroom.

Oh how I love ramen! My BF and I have been going to many of the local favorite spots in town to see which is our favorite ramen spot. We finally got the time to come to JINYA, and it was good! Probably not out favorite tho. Despite that statement, their ramen is still pretty good.
We walked in and the design is so pretty! There was no wait so we were seated right away and at once all of their staff greeted us (super awesome!!). They greet each guest that arrives and it just kicks off a great first impression.
We opted for the Takoyaki as an appetizer, which is a popular Japanese dish made of octopus balls with bonito flakes (fish flakes that move!!) I’ve seen this dish in maybe 3 other restaurant I’ve ever gone to and this was finally my chance to try it. We enjoyed it, but felt like something was missing. Still a good experience tho!
For our bowls I got the JINYA Tonkatsu Black Ramen and I added corn and fresh garlic to it. It came with thin noodles and I kinda regret that I didn’t request for thick noodles. I feel like I might’ve enjoyed the thick noodles better. The broth was not as rich as I anticipated for. I’ve had richer broth before — this just had something missing. I had to then add extra sauce and seasoning to it to reach my liking. Nonetheless I did end up enjoying my bowl and it filled me up super quick I had to make my BF finish the rest for me!
My BF ordered the JINYA Chicken Ramen. He enjoyed it! I didn’t get the chance to try some of it but he also agreed that there was something missing.
Maybe we just need to come another time and try more! I love how they have happy hour so we shall be back!

So addicting! The food is delicious but paired with the abnormally cold weather we’ve been having lately it is heaven! Definitely my favorite way to warm up on a chilly night. I was first introduced to this place by Alice C. on our foodie date lol soo glad I finally got to try this place – thanks again girl!
I’ve come here 3 times in the past 2 weeks or so and I limit the number of «cheat meals» I have so that is saying a lot since I allocated so many to this place!
My favorite go-​to is the spicy creamy vegan with a seasoned egg (obviously not vegan). Love that there’s a vegetarian ramen with lots of protein (soft tofu). The broth is so flavorful and creamy yet not too heavy. Comes with a hearty portion of noodles as well.
Husband loves the garlic lover #2 which comes with fresh peeled garlic and a garlic press.
Spicy Tofu appetizer is one of my all time favorite appetizers. Definitely a must try if you like spicy foods. So flavorful and refreshing. Shrimp Ball appetizers are pretty good as well. I would skip the crispy kale lollipop (basically just fried kale) and Jinya Dynamite (way too creamy/​heavy/​oily).

Lunch with my Unilocal Twinsie, Joyce, from Arizona in Las Vegas. .what a fantastic story! How can 2 people meet online and become close friends?? Unilocalers have so much in common!
Back to Jinya Ramen: There are 7 Jinya locations in California. This is the first one in Nevada. There are none in Hawaii. What does this mean?
Answer: I need to eat ramen with Twinsie at Jinya Las Vegas.
It was a bit chilly outside since it’s November — a good atmosphere for a warm dish. I ordered the Pig Ears (JINYA No. 2 Chicharron) to share, but I had difficulty eating it because it sadly had some firey hot sauce (harissa) on it. I did enjoy a few bites of its crunchy goodness and some of the fried kale and soft tamago (egg) that accompanied it! Mmmm!
Twinsie smartly ordered the Takoyaki… oh wow! Pop one of those tako balls in your mouth and enjoy! ! The texture of the octopus was a «just right» chewy — not mushy nor rubbery!
I had the Tonkotsu Assari because it had THICK noodles. The other goodies included the kikurage (aka black fungus), pork chashu, & seasoned egg. YUM!!! The variety of ingredients was fun so that I wasn’t bored! Chewing on al dente noodles makes me happy!
Some readers may not like this part, but I MUST mention it because it was a «BAM» moment for me: the HEATED toilet seat in the restroom!!! Now remember — in the beginning — that I mentioned that it was a chilly November in Las Vegas. .I mean like in the 40s… Yeah. It’s a rare thing to find anything heated in Hawaii. .like a car seat. So, I really notice and appreciate little thoughtful gestures such as this! First of all, the restroom is very dim. I guess it’s supposed to be a calming atmosphere? Anyway. .just sit down and relax! None of that cold, «wake up suddenly», shocking kind of feeling. .but very gentle and soothing! Ahhhh… hahaha!
So, I’m looking forward to another Jinya visit. .wondering if all locations have this special customer treatment? ;) Thanks to Twinsie for such a memorable lunch! Luv ya!

Without ramen, there would be chaos and darkness. At least this is how I felt after missing out on eating breakfast during Nadine’s tri-​state UYE.
I’ve wanted to stop in this great upcoming-​chain ramen joint after seeing Mike W’s photos of the place. Since it had been a windy and cold November Vegas trip, some ramen sounded perfect. I ordered a JINYA Tonkotsu Black [$ 10.80 — pork broth with chashu, kikurage, green onions, dried nori seaweed, seasoned egg, garlic chips, garlic oil, fried onion, and served with thin noodles] and a JINYA Pork Bun [$ 3.80/ea. — thick braised pork with vegetables wrapped in a fluffy, white, steamed bun]. The table also shared JINYA No.2 Pig Ear Chicharron [$ 8.50 — harissa sauce, crispy kale, and a softly onsen tamago] and an order of Takoyaki [$ 5.20 for six]. Here’s a breakdown:
JINYA Tonkotsu Black: Delicious! I love Japanese chashu, which is more like a roulade than the Chinese style, and kikurage [wood ear mushroom] is always fun to eat. I regret forgetting to ask for some freshly pressed garlic but it was still delicious. I also asked for a pat of butter for my ramen and it made the broth super rich. Kotteri! It had great porky flavoring to begin but I have a weakness for adding butter to my ramen. I ended up getting full halfway into my bowl. It had good flavor and wasn’t too salty. The egg was also beautiful softly boiled with a creamy egg yolk. The noodles were good but I’ll admit that I was staring at Nadine’s thick noodles with envy. The thin noodles were good but I want the chewy and springiness of the thick ramen noodles.
JINYA Pork Bun: This could be dangerous. Great flavor, good size, and a thick cut of pork belly is nestled in between some leafy greens with a generous drizzle of Kewpie mayo.
JINYA No.2 Pig Ear Chicharron: Technically Nadine C. of UnilocalHI ordered this but found it too spicy for her liking. I wasn’t sure what the onsen tamago was for so I used it to dunk my fried pig ears in it. It helped dilute the spicy hot sauce. Not bad but I don’t know if I would recommend it.
Takoyaki: When is takoyaki ever a bad thing? Delicious octopus balls served with some bonito flakes. They were thick, juicy, and plump. It even sat on a bed of this egg custard type thing. Not traditional but it escalated the creaminess of the takoyaki. I even went back after we were done eating all the takoyaki to scoop up any leftover egg on the plate with some bonito flakes. I would definitely recommend this.
$ 65 for lunch for three, including tip. Very reasonable! Will I be back? You know I will! I’m glad I got to try JINYA with my twinsie Nadine C. of UnilocalHI! Love that girl!

The best thing about this place? Service. They were awesome and always on top of it. Super friendly and this place wants to make sure you get your stuff quick. Which is excellent if you’re starving.
The ambiance was great. Love the décor, the music, and the overall vibes.
We had:
Gyoza — super yummy. They have the sauce on the table which was very garlicy and delicious.
JINYA Dynamite — Meh. I wasn’t too much of a fan.
JINYA #2 — I loved it. Everything but the dried seaweed. I should have asked for it without. Because I hate seaweed. The broth for the ramen is very good. I’ve had a bit better other places, but it was very tasty.
Tonkotsu Spicy — Very good. Nice and perfectly spicy.
Everything here was very good. We will definitely be coming back.
