Jinya Ramen - Toronto

Whenever my partner and I travel, we make a point to head to Jinya. Despite it being a chain, it is extremely deserving of praise for its attention to detail, taste, portions and especially the service at this location. I haven’t found a ramen place that can top this one yet for all around flavour and experience. This is a must visit place for any ramen lover!

This place is just a few blocks from my apartment and I have always wanted to try the ramen here.It's encouraging when a such places have vegetarian version : <br/ <br/ This place is always busy during dinner so I decided to go on a weekday for an early dinner.I reached by around 6:30pm and found the place almost full.Since I was on my own,I chose to sit by the bar since there was a big queue for tables.<br/ <br/ I ordered the vegan ramen and iced green tea.The dishes were served soon enough. The broth of the ramen taste outrageously delicious on its own.Addition of Chilli oil and hot sauce only elevated it to the next level.The noodles soaked the broth pretty well.The tofu and the other veggies were good.<br/ <br/ Definitely an awesome place that will be my goto for Ramen in the coming days.The service was wonderful even when they were full.Kudos to the staff.

This is a review of my first visit to Jinya...<br/ <br/ There is a friendly greeting upon arrival.<br/ The decor is clean, with slate and dark wood. Exposed filament light bulbs. Colourful bowls on the bar create a nice aesthetic.<br/ Service is good, and we were seated promptly. Drinks served shortly therafter. Attentive without being annoying. <br/ The menu is quite extensive with loads of options for sharing type dishes and appetizers. From ramen to rice bowls. There are also lunch specials to choose from. <br/ Decent list of drinks to choose from.<br/ We had 2 sapporo pints, served in cold frosty glasses.<br/ We sat right next to the patio where there was a nice breeze. Great people watching at Church and Carleton.<br/ We ordered Sprouting ramen with extra soboro pork. Good but would have been better without the extra pork added as it made the entire dish way too salty after. Other than the salt factor, everything else was good. <br/ Also tried premium tonkatsu white, tonkatsu black (with black garlic oil) and cha cha garlic lover. They were all quite delicious. Broth is very tasty and not too heavy. <br/ The fried chicken was also quite good, hot and crispy.<br/ An added bonus is that they have free raw garlic that comes with a press so you can add as much or as little to customize your own bowl. <br/ I have been here a couple times since my first visit and will continue to if I'm in the neighbourhood.<br/

Amazing! The brussel sprout tempura was amazing! All 3 varieties of ramen had by the party were superb and very different from eachother. Service was fast and friendly. Highly recommend.

We can't get enough of Jinya! I love the spicy ramen ($14) and my girlfriend loves the cha cha cha ramen ($16). We have been here a few times and will definitely be back soon.
