Jinya travels from Southern California to Uptown Phoenix. Ramen bowls available for purchase include the “black” tonkotsu ramen with meaty wood ear mushrooms, fork-tender chashu (braised pork belly), and a spritz of lusty black garlic oil.

This was my first time going to JINYA ramen bar! Loy was absolutely amazing he made great recommendations he was super friendly and attentive and his service overall was the best I’ve ever had, it was exceptional! I had the ramen lunch special which is the tonkotsu ramen black with the B option the J girl and yuzu Aladdin (was amazing btw and recommended to me by Loy) JINYA bun and the Takoyaki which came out piping hot! Everything tasted amazing the ramen was so good I did love the ramen bar seating they have a modest dining area with a bar for alcohol and another bar where I had my ramen. I do think the hostess was upset that I wanted to switch from booth to the bar which was kind of off putting but I did apologize for wanting to switch ….but after meeting Loy and receiving his service I will definitely be going back between Loy and the food I can’t decide which was better but I’ll be going back for sure!!!! Thank you Loy!

Food was delicious. LOVE the Vegetarian options. We tried as many as we could and it was perfect. Garlic rice with egg, Spicy Creamy Ramen (favorite) 2 gyoza plates, Brussels tempura, Flying V Ramen, etc. Derek was excellent and such fast service. Somehow he’s always there taking care of us

Shoutout to Derek & the kitchen team!! We went there on Valentine’s day for dinner. Service was super quick, food was great. Had 1 chicken ramen, 1 pork ramen, side chicken karage with salad, takoyaki and a fun cocktail with bubble on top🫧 Closed our meal with Matcha tiramisu, also great, everything balanced, not too sweet. At first host wants to sit us down on a regular 2 top table on the corner, but we saw the ramen bar area is quite empty and she sat us there! Thank you guys!🫶🏻

11/15/25: Cool place. The only reason it didn't get 5 stars was because the drinks were a bit tame (matcha lychee lemonade & kiwi sparkler), in that they did not have a lot of flavor. I wonder if their alcoholic drinks would be better. Service? Very good. Our server, Phillip, was friendly & had plenty to say when we asked questions about this or that. Food? Flavorful, plentiful, and tasty. We ordered appetizers (JINYA bun, edamame, pork gyoza, nikuman). The buns were light & fluffy, the meat tender, edamame excellently salted. I do not like seafood so was a little worried about being able to find something edible for me; there was no problem. Substitutions are allowed, if not even encouraged. The JINYA tonkotsu black & pork chashu bowls were ordered. Both were wonderful. Desserts were the mixed mochi ice cream and matcha green tea tiramisu. I loved how the tiramisu came out in a small wood box. That was a first for me, & what a great way to stand out. Ambiance? Every time customers walked in the door, the staff shouted what I believe was something akin to "glad you're here"; when someone walked out the door, the staff shouted "arigato" (thank you). We're trying not to take it personally that no one shouted when we left. Ha! It was a bustling Saturday evening, though, so the staff probably just missed us. :-) It was a bright, clean, and airy restaurant; unfortunately, the outside patio was unavailable due to sprinkling. Even the bathroom was fancy.

Absolutely delicious! Spicy and crispy shrimp temp is a great starting appetizer. Our server Derek gave great suggestions for someone like me as a first timer and was patient on the decision making since there is lots of options. Signature Tokoyaki Black ramen is great and savory, no spice at all despite it having spicy sauce. Fulfilling and decently priced for what you get, definitely come in for lunch specials, save more!
