Fairly yummy ramen! Service was excellent and very quick. The bar area is super cute! The only reason I didn't give a 5 for food is because I'm from Toronto and Ottawa and have had either comparable ramen or better broth for slightly less $ so I don't know if I felt the value quite equalled the cost. Definitely a personal bias though! We had the tonkotsu black and spicy chicken ramen. The chicken ramen was better of the two!

Went here last Tuesday with my oldest son. I had the Jinya Tonkotsu Black by recommendation from our server. It was absolutely great! Full flavors, tender pork and nice portion size. Our server (the bartender) was super welcoming and helpful.

★★★★
October 26, 2024

It's a trendy place (this is not a compliment). It's OK. Good enough. The music is loud in the middle of the afternoon. Service is good enough, but they tell you you're time-limited and things like that, does not contribute to a good experience. Overall, it was positive but I wouldn't go back by myself. No problem joining people there.

During a recent visit to Vancouver's downtown area, I stumbled upon Jinya Ramen Bar, which effectively satiated my ramen cravings. The contemporary interior, replete with clever lighting design, provided patrons with varied seating options, including a bar counter, patio, and tables. Jinya's unique blend of modernity and casual elegance differentiated it from traditional Japanese ramen establishments, offering an engaging experience reminiscent of a trendy cocktail bar. The option to select from three noodle thicknesses was a welcome touch; personally, I favored the thinner variant. While the broth's richness and the pork's fattiness diverged from my prior Japanese ramen experiences, the overall texture and flavor profile curiously mirrored wanton noodle soup. Nonetheless, the generous portion and expertly cooked egg proved satisfying. The crispy, flavorful gyoza complemented the meal nicely. The attentive, exceptional service and inviting ambiance rounded out the experience.

★★★★
October 7, 2024

I came here specifically to try the ramen. There are three different noodle thicknesses to choose from, which is a nice touch. The broth is very rich and flavorful, and the pork is quite fatty. One bowl is more than enough to fill me up. The whole egg was cooked perfectly and tasted great. Overall, while the pork and broth were a bit too greasy for my taste, the service was excellent.

★★★

The server was kind of rude and passive when I asked if there was sugar in one of their salads on the menu. Also, when I asked about which ramen is creamy or clear broth because I am still new to this type of food, she was abrupt with her responses. The food came fast and was delicious. The server assistants were on top of the water refills. They provided boxes promptly when I asked and split the bills accordingly for our party of three. Overall, I would come back to try other items and hopefully a more pleasant server next time to accommodate my diet preferences.

Amazing food (on the pics you see our vegan options) and excellent service! This was the only restaurant we visited in Vancouver and we don‘t regret the choice. We payed about 66$ for 2 meals, a shared starter and two non-alcoholic drinks + we got free water. What we found interesting, was that the stuff was very communicative and at certain times they all shouted out loud together. We had no idea what that meant, but it was very funny and felt as if they all had a great time.

Had lunch with my family in this location, and the experience was great! The staff greet every person that comes in and out of the restaurant (makes you smile). We ordered their signature ramen and tasted good, a little salty on my taste, but overall good. Make your meal a combo. It's worth a try! Will come back here for sure.

The creamy tempura shrimp was pretty good. Had the Jinya black and red ramen, was alright nothing to write home about. Tea cost money and is just a baggie in a cup, not worth it. Overall, nothing too special not high end not high value.

Sadly, even though we used to enjoy the food. There was a person there who provided the worst customer service that we have ever had. For me and my family, the service provided is a vital part of the experience. He was not only rude to us he was also rude with other and even delivery people who entered from the back. Just because of him, we wont be coming back to this place. Thanks a lot.

Jinya used to be really good. Its still not bad but my most recent visit was somewhat disappointed. Ordered the octopus balls and the black garlic Ramen. The Octopus came out and was very good, however I had barley finished one and the ramen was placed in front me. I would have expected to have a few minutes to enjoy the appetizer first. The Pork Chashu in the Ramen was also cold which was disappointing. Sadly it just felt like we were being rushed. There are a number of fantastic Ramen places in Vancouver I will be choosing them going forward.

My first experience at JINYA was fantastic and I will certainly be back. The atmosphere is cozy and the greetings from all staff when enter sets things off on the right foot when you step in. Kazuhiro was my server and was very helpful for my first visit, giving me a run down of the menu and suggestions. He ensured I had everything I needed throughout my meal, which was ready in less than 5 min! The flavours of the tonkotsu ramen broth were amazing, and the pork was succulent and flavourful. The free fresh garlic brought to you with a garlic press was a really nice addition too. Can t wait to return!

This JINYA location was specifically recommended to me by a friend when I visited Vancouver. The bowl of ramen I had was one of the best that I have ever had so far. The soup was delicious and full of flavour. The pork was so very tender and the egg was done to perfection. The service was friendly yet efficient.

I only came here because kinton was full but it annoyed me so much, I havent gone to jinya since like 2016 and it went so downhill. All the customers were white if that already gives you a hint. They dont even give out tea, and no options for thin noodles. The ramen was bland and salty, my food took 30 minutes to come. All the workers were nice but shout every 5 seconds. Gyoza wasnt juicy, egg wasnt even runny.

Ive been here twice visiting the area and have always had extremely kind service, once for take out, it was packaged nicely enough to eat at the park and the second time we dined in with our small kids and the waiter was extremely kind with our kids, helped us adjust a dish to their liking and sat hs comfortably. And the ramen is to die for, a good vegetarian option thats hard to find!! Vegetarian options: There is a really great vegetarian option thats loaded with extra veggies and flavour.

My family and I visited for a late-night dinner on the weekend, and the customer service from start to finish was seamless and outstanding! The staff were genuinely welcoming, and the food was fantastic. We loved the kids menu, which was priced at about $14 and included a perfectly portioned bowl of ramen, chicken karaage, sliced orange, salad, fries, and a mini vanilla ice cream with candy. Our toddler enjoyed it so much that she ate independently until she was full. My husband and I savored our ramens, and the aburi oshi was incredibly delicious and creamy. The mimosa flight was especially refreshing, with just the right amount of fizz and alcohol a perfect combination!

My husband and I ate here while on vacation in Vancouver. My husband loved the Konya Tonkatsu black ramen. He said it was a perfect serving size, the pork in the ramen was tender and delicious, and the noodles were the perfect. I have celiac and they were able to accommodate me with one of the rice dishes. They were very polite and knowledgeable about cross contamination. They do have wheat in the broth, so even with GF noodles the ramen could cause a reaction. There are not many GF options here, so better for celiacs to avoid if youre looking for a big menu. The service was great and the atmosphere was good. It was almost full when we were there during happy hour and we were still able to hear each other. Vegetarian options: So many vegan and vegetarian options on the menu!

Somewhat disappointing compared to what were used to - we wandered in here looking for a warm meal. Hoping for a great Ramen experience in Vancouver. The sesame/soy wings were great, the spicy shrimp tempura was good, but otherwise the meal was not satisfying. We did tonkotsu red and it felt like dressed up instant Ramen, not that were used to from Ramen bars in Seattle.

★★★★★
October 23, 2024

Great vibe in here, music was noticeable but not overbearing. We sat at the bar which was comfy enough for the hour or so we were there. Their Jinya tonkotsu black ramen was easily one of the best Ive had. Broth had a great depth, seasoning was perfect. Noodles were thin and slightly al dente. Pork was extremely tender and cut thick, might have been nice to get a little bit more though. The egg was slightly overdone for my preference but this is a minor complaint. Cocktails were fantastic, yuzu marg and a lychee cocktail of some sort. Prices were average for the area. Service was good but they were very busy so there were a couple times we had to wait a minute or two longer than ideal. Overall a very fun experience and great food, great ambiance. Will have to try this place again!

A VIOLATION OF TRUST AND A DANGER TO PULIC HEALTH; what I saw tonight there shock me to my core. The lady behind the bar responsible for making drinks had NO regards whatsoever for customers health. She was picking up used napkins of other customers and cleaning the table with the very same bare hands that she was putting the edible decorations on top of the drinks with! Imagine the napkin was used to clean a runny nose due to spicy ramen! She never cleaned or sanitized her hands before touching the edibles. She was handling payments with the same bare hands that she was directly touching what was going to go into other customer s stomach. THIS IS MANAGERIAL PROBLEM. DON T YOU HAVE ANY RESTAURANT SAFETY PROTOCOL IN PLACE?!?? THIS IS DISGUSTING & DISGRACEFUL.

Been here a number of times and always enjoyed it, until last night. The chashu in each of our bowls of ramen was cold, and I dont just mean cool, I mean ice cold as if it was taken from the freezer and put in our hot ramen. And extra garlic was added to one of our ramen bowls that we did not order. Since we were being treated to dinner by a friend we didnt want to say anything, and judging from the large amount she left in her bowl, I am thinking she didnt enjoy it either. Highly disappointing and makes me question whether I will return.

The place is fantastic! It has a great atmosphere not too loud, but lively enough to know people are having a good time. The service was excellent; my wife and I were served by a French waiter (didnt catch his name), and he was amazing with his recommendations and overall attentiveness. I love bold flavors, and the red ramen (level 3 spice) hit the spot perfectly. My wife ordered the black ramen, but she ended up adding more seasoning from the table, so I d definitely recommend the red over the black. We also shared the takoyaki, which was delicious, though probably not quite enough for two. They serve non-alcoholic Asahi too, which was a nice surprise. My bottom line is simple: would I come back? Absolutely and hopefully soon!

Flavorful ramen broth with good noodles. Tasty tempura appies, and prompt service. Downside was the $8.5 mocktail which tasted mainly of soda water in a tiny glass.

Since when ramen place became so westernized. Jinya shouldnt call themselves the ramen place but some regular noodles place. Service wise They do act like they provide good service but i prefer those ones that are naturally done. Someone described it as conveyer belt like manner and i totally get it. Ramen and broth is not authentic Japanese style and over priced. Not impressed by their recipe. Man this place is noisy. Prefer a more quiet place for authentic remen therefore i have no plan to go back.

I love the variety you can get at Jinya. Most of the popular places only offer the pork ramen which I don t eat alot of so having variety is a plus. My wife has the vegan ramen and I had a taste and it was delicious even though I am not vegan. This place does get busy during lunch.

Unbelievable service!!! Waited in-line in my he freezing cold to be seated after 45mins, only to watch 3 groups of 4-6 people with no appointments get seated before mine so I asked why is it taking so long only to be told that I was called but never answered when I was standing in front of the counter the whole time . What the hell is that?? I never heard my name been called even with my group next to me(6 of us). If you messed up owe up to it and not make excuses just because you were flirting with some of the ladies that asked for a table!!!

A solid lunch spot - ramen dishes and more. The pricing was agreeable, and the food came out quickly. We had the pork rice bowl, the pork taco Jinya Bun , and the classic Jinya Tonkotsu Black ramen. The Panna Cotta was just ok , but the Lychee martini was both fun and smooth. The pork rice bowl and ramen were good. We went for a late lunch so the restraunt was a bit slow but we did catch Happy Hour. I would go again.

Do not come here if you are celiac. They have gluten free noodles but no gluten free broth what is even the point? I have an allergy and not celiac s, so I did end up trying noodles anyway. I didn t want to make my friends have to find a new place to eat. The noodles were ok, broth was delicious, as was the pork. Dietary restrictions: Not safe for allergies or celiac

3.9 Great restaurant! Sometimes, I m a little apprehensive of chain restaurants and other times i encounter one that does it well. This experience is the latter. I had a nice little visit over to the Robson location. Ambiance is usually great at these newer Asian - inspired modernly decorated restaurants. Tables were full, line up at the door. The Ramen selection is great. You get the options of six signature broths which are wonderful. They claim to be slowly simmered for more than twenty hours, each balancing flavors from whole pork bones, chicken and vegetables with just the right amount of bonito, dashi, miso, kombu, and other classic Japanese ingredients. The result is a rich broth that is thick, full-flavored, and unforgettable. The type of broth that when you finish the noodle, you order an extra side of noodle to finish up the remaining soup in your bowl

I didnt get the chance to dine here due to a disappointing experience with the service. Our group consisted of 9 people, and we were informed by the host that an additional 18% service charge would be imposed for groups larger than 6, on top of the bill and tips. We asked if we could split into two groups and sit at separate tables, as there were plenty of tables available in the patio. The host rudely responded with a firm No, which left us shocked. Due to this unwelcoming attitude, we decided to go elsewhere for dinner.

They have a sales promotion on three popular ramen bowls. $10 each till Wednesday. I got the tonkotsu black ramen with crispy chicken. Needless to say, but they have fine noodles, right temperature for soup, great combinations of ingredients, and rich chashu. They always have a quality ramen bowl. I highly recommend it.

I had the chicken ramen and it was very nice. The service is amazing and well trained. I got a lot of noodle. A bit pricey but at least the noodle was plenty and I was full. Beside me was a few Japanese people. Probably very authentic

Worst customer service. The staff served me in a conveyor belt-like manner. There was a large eggshell in my ramen, and when I pointed it out, they just said, Sorry, and took it to the back. The service is always cold and unpleasant, so Ive decided not to go there anymore. The ramens taste is also not good.

I recently visited during their 14th anniversary promotion with my fiancée. Unfortunately, our experience was disappointing. Our server, Yuuka, seemed impatient with us when we were deciding upon our order and forgot our water until the end of our meal. The ramen was overly salty. In my haste, I paid the bill without noticing we were charged full price despite the promotion. Thankfully, Yoshito later resolved this issue, but overall, the visit did not meet our expectations.

No. Just no. Don t even bother coming here

Used to go here all the time. However, it s gotten VERY VERY SALTY. IT WAS LIKE EATING OCEAN WATER AND ADDING SOY SAUCE INTO IT. I m not sure if they changed their recipe or something but the ramen became extremely salty. BUT the manager was super friendly and even attempted to bring me a less saltier bowl. However, it was still very salty. Shoutout to the manager (Japanese guy) he was great. The chef what happened guys nande salty nande?

Ridiculous customer service! My wife ordered through Uber Eats, got half of the order and when my wife called the restaurant, she was told to call Uber to complaint: That was all they could do, she was told, because they dont deliver. Thats the kind of treatment we got for overpaying for a Ramen and dumplins equivalent to a kids-sized meal. Tks Jinya!

Fantastic staff and extremely personable employees. I had a mess up in my first order placed through UE, and although it was wrong, it was still tasty. I called back and spoke to the manager, Yoshi, who was more than polite, very attentive to the issue, and made it all right. Upon my 2nd arrival for the rectified order, I spoke with Andy, and he was very quick to get everything rolling, knew of my arrival, and had the order returned within 10 minutes of waiting. 10/10 even with an issue. I would recommend giving them a try, and I black UE on the mess up. Extra-step-technologies almost always have the ability to hiccup. They did everything right in my eyes. Thank you for trusting me, Yoshi, and thank you for your amazing service and Hand shake goodbye. Worth your time and money.
