JINYA Ramen Bar

the vibes are immaculate-- it was loud but we had so much fun. Especially the cocktails, they were so unique and different (though pricy!) We had great service, even when we had to accidentally add an additional person to our party at the last second.We were walk-ups and waiting for about 10-15 minutes before we got a table.

The interior looks cool, it was pretty crowded on Friday lunch. The hostess was polite but never smiled. The price of $21 after tax plus 18% default tip option is a little rough. They play cool music and the vibe was great.I got their signature pork ramen. They brought me in minutes, really quick. The portion was rather small for the price. The pork was tender, the boiled egg was tasty and cooked to perfection, the broth was creamy but tasted ok. What stood out to me was noodles - they were pretty hard in texture, reminded me of $0.99 noodle soup.I paid right away and has never been checked by any server. Overall I didn't enjoy it - the overall taste was ok and the price was high imho. I would not be back

I always enjoy a great ramen spot. One of my favorites at this location is their The Red Garnet which is their Vegetable broth: pork chashu, spinach, green onion, kikurage, white onion with chili garlic sauce served with thick noodles. The flavors are delicious and well worth the try. They have a variety of other dishes that you would enjoy but this is my go to. Service is great as the staff will help with any questions or suggestions.

I was STOKED to discover a new chicken ramen spot at the Westfield Topanga mall!! Loved that they had a bunch of different options for pork or chicken based ramens, as well as different options for the thickness of ramens. The Jinya Chicken Ramen broth was super rich and delicious. The chicken on my ramen was extremely juicy and flavorful. The only downside was that the ramen was low on broth. I feel like adequate broth is essential for ramen, so this was a bit disappointing. The Jinya Tonkotsu Black ramen broth was equally delicious and flavorful, but felt a little heavier since it was pork based. You can ask for extra garlic free of charge, and they bring out whole cloves and garlic press for you to use!! It was such a fun addition and delicious to the meal. The service we got was just okay.. Our waitress was a little short with us, but maybe they were just having an especially busy day? We did notice that another table that arrived maybe 15 min before us ended up not getting their ramen until 10 min after ours arrived. Hoping they sort out any service-related kinks as I'm really happy to have this spot in our area!

Jinya Ramen had some pretty decent ramen! I came here to catch up with a friend and it was my first time here and we didn't have any reservations, however, we were able to be seated pretty quickly within 10 minutes.We came in time for happy hour and we shared the salmon poke mini tacos and also crispy karage chicken and both were great! I had the Spicy Chicken Ramen and it was delicious. I also really appreciated that this place had a ton of options ranging from vegan to various different meats for people who may have eating restrictions. Service was also really great and food was served pretty quickly!

This was our first time visiting Jinya Ramen, it looked like there were plenty of seats available for 2 but there was still a wait which was fine they said 30 minutes and ended up being around 12 minutes. The decor is nice definitely on dark and dimmer side. Our server was great helping answer our questions.The food came out reasonable quick as well as the watermelon drink we ordered. The reason the review is a 4 is because the food was good but nothing was extraordinary that I need to come back or only this place has. Great experience overall.

Jinya is a solid choice for a comforting bowl of ramen. The ambiance is a step up from the typical Topanga Social setup, with its own dedicated seating, making for a more relaxed dining experience. Service was friendly and efficient, which added to the overall positive experience. The ramen itself was good. Flavorful and satisfying, but not particularly memorable or standout compared to other top ramen spots in LA. A reliable option if you're in the area, but not necessarily a destination-worthy bowl.

Loved the Ramen! This is my second time here! The spice level is insane from a 2 I had to go to the 1 and that is still a little spicy and flavorful. The curry rice croquettes are really good. Have the sake flights! Wont disappoint. Both times I had the Tonkotsu was ramen with park. My favorite!! Located at the topanga social. You can go through the mall or drive around and park. It's closer that way.

First timer and love the ambiance inside! Very modern den upscale feel to it. Ordered the beef ramen which was very filling but lacked flavor so needed to keep asking for extra sauce. Loved the presentation of my cocktail! Would definitely return.

Excellent food and service. Special shoutout to Molly, one of the managers - she was very helpful!
