JINYA Ramen Bar - Studio City

I went on a Wednesday at around 2pm with both my parents. Erickson was the host and he quickly found us a table. Then we were assigned a server that started off ok, but she quickly developed an attitude. She heard that neither of my parents wanted anything to drink, and that I had asked for just water and 5 more minutes before we were gonna place our orders, and then she immediately lost all interest in providing any kind of service to us. She simply got lost and was just chilling and talking to coworkers (important that it was on a workweek day at around 2pm, so the store was slow). I was able to get Erickson's attention and he quickly took our orders, (Pro Tip: I worked in the food industry many years ago: if I skip on getting drinks with my meal, it probably means that I want to pass on

I have passed this seemingly always busy restaurant for many years on my way to Marshall's. Last week while the rest of my party was shopping, I decided to give it a try. A very enthusiastic and warm Kenny welcomed me, and helped with some great suggestions for appetizers. The food was absolutely delicious, especially many amazing vegan options. While returning the following Sunday (10/12), we decided to have dinner there. My experience was extraordinary! Nora was our server and we were fortunate to have her. She provided exceptional service with some great recommendations. Her shift was over and Sofia took over. She was also amazing and continued providing the exceptional service we experienced there. Then, while waiting for the bathroom, Eric and I had a great conversation about how all

I had an amazing experience at JINYA Ramen Bar! The food is absolutely outstanding—rich, flavorful broths, perfectly cooked noodles, and toppings that taste incredibly fresh. Every bowl feels crafted with real care. The service is just as impressive. The staff is friendly, attentive, and always happy to make recommendations. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, making it the perfect place to enjoy a comforting meal. Whether you're a ramen lover or trying it for the first time, JINYA is truly a must-visit. Delicious food, great service, and a consistently wonderful dining experience. Highly recommended!

I came in after walking around Marshalls for a while and am so happy I did. First, they seated me right away in a cute high top facing the kitchen. I am treating myself to a “me day” and felt a little awkward coming in by myself. However everyone was so warm and welcoming. Furthermore, they accommodated a small request I made which made my dining experience so nice. I want to give a special shout out to SOFIA for being such a sweetheart. She checked in on me multiple times and even served me a cute little scoop of ice cream at the end of my meal. Servers like her make me want to return again soon especially because I’m a local in the area - literally walking distance. I highly recommend this ramen spot. It’s delicious and they have a great happy hour too! My Lychee martini was chef’s kiss.

TL;DR: Lives up to the high ratings. Rich broth, standout starters, friendly service, and easy plaza parking. Cool night, perfect bowl. The Premium Tonkotsu Red had deep pork flavor with a clean chili kick. Mild spice kept the broth front and center. The JINYA Bun was soft and savory, easy reorder. Spicy Creamy Shrimp were crisp and saucy, great to share. Drinks were refreshing, especially the Watermelon Delight and Matcha Lychee Lemonade. Finished with mochi, simple and good. Service was quick and attentive. With plenty of parking in the shopping center, it is a trifecta of food, service, and convenience. Pro Tips: • Start at mild or medium spice to taste the broth. • Grab the JINYA Bun and Spicy Creamy Shrimp for the table. • Add a seasoned egg to your ramen. • Use the plaza lot for ea
