JINYA Ramen Bar - Santa Monica

"Great food, lots of flavour! Me and my friend were here on 4 July 2025 and had two ramen dishes. There are sauces on the table to spice up your dish. Chopsticks are the cheap disposable wooden ones. Loved the meal!"

"Came back three times, the food was that good. Not a fan of spicy, yet the spice level was tasty/tantalizing rather than torched tongue. Those Spicy Tempura Shrimp--oh! So yummy!! Hubby devoured his ramen down to the last slurp. Lunches were in a quiet atmosphere; dinner time a bit more crowded, but still, prompt service and beautiful presentation. A "must return" for us!"

"this is the best ramen in my life, it was perfect. thank you so much for your service, i will definitely visit this place again, everything was very tasty."

"In A Nutshell: -JINYA is a great place to grab some Japanese ramen & friend chicken. -They have a decent happy hour, which I recommend you checking out. -Their Japanese Fried Chicken was really tasty, crunchy & moist w/ huge pieces of chicken. -I also enjoyed their Chicken Ramen Broth, which fills you up on a cold winter evenings. Overall, the service here is really friendly & will come back again for sure."

"Back at JINYA Ramen Bar in Santa Monica (first discovered it in Austin!) - they have multiple LA locations. Their spicy vegan ramen is one of the best vegetarian bowls I’ve had—filling, flavorful, and customizable. I usually ask them to skip the tofu and sometimes add bok choy or cabbage. They also serve meat options, but honestly, the veggie ramen stands on its own. Some people add egg to the bowl :) Indoor-outdoor seating is nice, service is friendly, and parking’s easy with a paid lot right behind. The menu seems to have changed slightly this visit —missed the little “slurping” message at the bottom of the bowl this time! Still, one of my favorite spots for casual ramen in LA."
