Jinya Ramen Santa Monica

This is a great Ramen Bar. It does get very busy but there usually isn't more than a 10 15 minute wait for a small group. There are plenty of vegan options as well, most with impossible meat. I've been here twice and each time couldn't finish the wholebowl the serving sizes are large! It does not store well so keep this in mind when ordering. All of the ingredients are freshand the base is tasty no matter which one you chose. I was surprised to see mini tacos on the menu and would try those the nexttime.

This is a cool restaurant with street side seating. The service was prompt and friendly. I don?t know that much about Sake, and our server was very helpful in guiding my decision of Kubota, a dry cold Sake. The outside dining area was very well done andwas a pleasant place to enjoy our dinner. We had pork gyoza and tempura Brussels sprouts for appetizers. Both were delicious. Mywife ordered the quinoa salad and I had the JINYA Tonkotsu Original 2010. Everything tasted great.

I have been coming to this restaurant for over 6 years since moving to the Marina area. The service is usually good and the food is always great. I usually order the wonton chicken ramen and my roommate gets the tonkatsu black. I am disappointed that they got rid of my favorite spicy tofu salad. The prices are reasonable and you can customize your bowl of ramen. I recommend giving it a try if you are in the area.

Where do I even begin with this review? The staff at this restaurant were extremely polite and welcoming. They require proof of COVID19 vaccination, which is completely understandable for everyone's safety. Now, let's get back to the review. The outdoor seating area is lovely, especially at night when it gives off a whole different atmosphere. The menu is digital, making it easy to view on your phone. The food was outstanding, and they brought it out in less than 15 minutes. The flavors were so good and it was piping hot, which is perfect for a dish like Ramen. I will definitely be returning next time I visit. Thank you to everyone at the restaurant for their excellent service. I truly appreciate it.

I was quickly seated on the patio/courtyard by the friendly hostess. The menu can be accessed through a QR Code. The ramen I ordered was delicious, as was the tea. The waiter lacked personality, but everything else was great.
