JINYA Ramen Bar - Arlington

We received exceptional service from our waiter Michael. Michael thoroughly explained the menu and gave helpful recommendations. He provided excellent service from start to finish! Thanks also to the Manager on Duty for stopping by our table ensuring we enjoyed our meal.

Great atmosphere and our server was lovely, especially to the children we had with us. They are not joking around about the spice levels! I got a 5/10 spice and my eyes were watering.

First time here visiting from CT and I was craving ramen and I’m glad I picked this place. I was greeted immediately and sat. My waiter Oliver was quick and attentive. I order the Birria Ramen and it was absolutely Delicious! And I order two appetizers as well which were also delicious. Food was authentic, well presented, and best of the all the vibe was lowkey and perfect! I highly recommend this place if anyone is in the area! Thank you!

I don’t usually eat ramen at restaurants, because it’s so pricey. I’d rather make ramen by myself at home. However, I did want to experiment a restaurant ramen, because of the so much commercial. JINYA’s been popped up in my feed. So I decided to experiment a restaurant ramen. My expectation’s maybe so high, it couldn’t reach my expectations! I had some salmon something with undercooked rice. I asked some wasabi, they asked for $1 for wasabi. Anyway, it’s approved my “ home cooked ramen is the best” concept!!!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this place! It is my favorite ramen spot in Virginia. The portions are huge! I always get the spicy chicken ramen. The spice level is perfect. It's not so spicy that your tongue falls out. It has just the right amount of heat and has so much flavor. You can taste the chicken in the broth and the chicken shiatsu is some of the most silky, soft, and tender meat I've ever had; it melts in your mouth. The crispy chicken was light and super crispy on the outside + juicy on the inside. Just a light dip in a mixture of hot sauce and seasoning sauce provided on the table brought all the flavors together. I got the Dragonfruit Fizz cocktail... phenomenal!!! A sprig of rosemary is lit right at the table and the light aroma quickly fills the area. The cocktail is sweet, fizzy, and refreshing. Our server was also the bartender and she allowed me to make a couple of adjustments to fit my finicky palate. My dinner companion was very impressed and pleased for her first visit and she has already said she's coming back w/her ramen-loving son. The only negative was that the music playing was so loud, it was a bit hard to hear. I look forward to coming back next time I visit the area.

Soooo good!! My first visit, I was welcomed and seated within a great time. It wasn't super busy. I had the Birria Ramen and the chicken salad with wontons. The Ramen was AMAZING, noodles al denté, broth..... packed with flavor. The chicken salad was very fresh light with the seasoning, but still really good because it was freshly made. I also had a lemon drop from JUNE (who by the way AMAZING) is hands down the best lemon drop I've ever had. That lemonade FRESH, no artificial ANYTHING in it, with top shelf vodka, it tasted so fresh 💜💜!! I told June it was definitely top tier. She apologized because she said she forgot the sugars rim, I said it was not needed at all. Best drink I've had in awhile!! Visit for the Ramen, stay for the drinks!! Thanks June! Definitely ask for her!

I tried the new Birria ramen and I have to say I am not disappointed. It has the perfect amount of meat and noodles that makes your stomach asking for more. I highly recommend asking for more limes for the broth and the meat. I had a wonderful server named Sean who enhanced the whole dining experience.

Whenever I visit a city and find out Jinya is there, I always go there. Always love their noodles!

The food was amazing - there were many different options and the waitress was super helpful especially because I am not a huge ramen fan. My step son said it was one of the best places he's been. There is a lot of seating I didn't realize there was an upstairs until we were walking out and I could see it above the building. I would go back.

Not impressed! It could be because we ordered pickup. The broth was just OK They gave very little meat and it just wasn't flavorful. Tips 1) ask for extra meat 2) they are located in the Ballston Food Court 3) They have a really nice restaurant, with seating and alcohol inside

Having been to Japan and being from NYC originally I know what good ramen is. This was sadly not it. We stopped in on a cold rainy Saturday night. I got the 2010 original tonkotsu and my Japanese bf got the premium tonkotsu red at level 3/10. We also got the brussel sprouts tempura to share. Both bowls of ramen came out first, and the appetizer followed 10 minutes later. My first sip of the broth I was surprised by how porky and flavorful it was. But soon after I was hit by the extreme saltiness. I liked the thickness of the noodles, and the chashu and egg were cooked perfectly, but there just wasn't enough noodles or chashu in my opinion for the price point. Even still, it was almost impossible for me to finish just because of how salty it was. My boyfriend hated the premium red. The broth just tasted literally of spicy bean sprouts. It was one-note and just not good. He finished his noodles, but left sad and still hungry. (We stopped at a nearby Taco truck to cheer him up after) The brussel sprouts tempura is a nice idea - the crispiness was on point but it wasn't seasoned enough. It also didn't come with a sauce or anything. It would be improved with a bit of salt/seasoning in the tempura batter, or at least with a sauce on the side. The ambiance is trying to hard to be cool and hip and club-like while also having sports on the TV behind the bar. Just too much going on for a spot that should specialize in ramen. Service was super slow. We sat waiting around more than half the time we were there. I did download the jinya app, so it's nice to get points with each meal. However, not sure I'll ever be back - even for a free appetizer. If I crave ramen I'd rather make the trek to menya hosaki or daikaya.

Came here by chance. It's down in the food court area of Ballston Quarter, but it's a full service restaurant. It's well decorated and has a nice vibe. Our server was great and took us through the menu since it was our first time there. I'd had a large lunch so opted for some lighter far with seaweed salad and crispy rice with tuna. Both were good but I've had better elsewhere. I would go back again to try their ramen. Everything was very reasonably priced as well.

I couldn't recommend this spot more for happy hour! I ordered the lychee martini and when the bartender presents it to you, they bring over a blow torch, a bubble appears and then it pops and it's ready to go (so cool). Also it tasted amazing, so amazing that I ordered a second one. For a snack, I ordered the fried chicken and I'll definitely be ordering that again. Overall the happy hour deals are solid! The service was also excellent. If I lived closer I'd love to try it out for dinner. Maybe one day!

A friend and I stopped by on a Sunday afternoon. They were actually quite busy, but they have a pretty massive dining area, so we didn't have to wait for a table/booth. The waitstaff were quick on getting us to a booth and getting our orders. It took a while to get our food, though, but I suspect it's because there were a lot of people dining in along with the takeaways and mobile order pickups. I had the wonton chicken ramen. I asked for bean sprouts and spinach. We had already had drinks earlier, so we decided to stick to water. My friend had the Vegan red fire opal ramen bowl with spinach, mushroom, bok chop and an egg. My ramen bowl was really tasty; it was freezing outside so the ramen was incredibly comforting. My friend enjoyed her ramen as well, but she said she would ask for the thin noodles in the future. Portion sizes were decent, and they are pretty filling. The lighting in the restaurant felt very much izakaya-like, which was probably the goal when designing the space. It can get quite loud, depending on how busy it is, but not much louder than what you'd expect in a bustling restaurant. The staff are polite, accommodating and provide fast and easy service. We would definitely come back again.

Decided to try this place for a special birthday celebration. Even though we did not have reservations, we were immediately greeted and seated when we arrived. We chose to sit in the patio area where they had more than enough heaters and a fire pit in the center that added the perfect touch! For appetizers we started with the tempura shrimp that was delicious, and our party ordered an array of ramen (see pictures)- each one had their own unique flavor and my favorite part was how you were able to customize it your own way, especially if you wanted to add your own toppings!! They even brought out a birthday dessert.

Although Jinya is a chain, I still regard it as like an oldie but a goodie. Goldie. I can always come for my comfort food ramen the Spicy Creamy Vegan Ramen and it will taste exactly as I expect it. I have been to this Jinya location a few times and the staff is very friendly and the food always delivers. I would rate it 5 stars if the service, cleanliness, and food quality and consistency was exceptional, but it is definitely a solid four. Small complaint is that their sauces run out or are not readily provided so you always have to bother to request.

Fast as usual and delicious. Love their Yuzu Shio Delight ramen (nice thin noodle, delicious soup base, everything just right). See my photo. Well packaged for easy pick up.

Ordered take away from Jinya. Let me start with the negatives. Prices are rather high; $24 for the chicken dumpling ramen with mushroom added (additional $3). Additionally the toppings are minimal and they charge extra for each one. So overall, based on price they could throw in more toppings. The flavor however was fantastic. I got 5 dumplings and noodles with the chicken dumping ramen. I ate off of it twice; but i did have to add in some of my own toppings because this ramen only came with spinach and green onion. I also appreciate the packaging for take away, the noodles and dumplings were separated from the broth as to not get it soggy. The staff were really kind and the online ordering system was easy. The inside is beautiful and dark, moody ambiance but it was cold and snowing so I opted to take home. I would come back but I really hope that they start adding more toppings for the price.

Visiting my sister in town, she decided to take me to this place to try their yummy Ramen! I have the chef special which was cilantro shrimp tempura Ramen which was good but thankfully they bought out extra seasoning to address it how you like. Another chefs selection was the soy glaze chicken wings, which were small not too glazed they were crispy and they were lightly coated with soy glaze. We also had their signature boa buns which in my opinion needed some more flavor maybe like a pickled salad to bring out some more flavors. And for drinks, I have a JT girl mocktail , which was OK, for me it had a lingering after taste, originally I wanted their watermelon drink but it was out of stock. The place is cute we sat outside to enjoy the night lights and view! our server Elon was attentive, honest and informative on menu questions.

One of my favorites! I tried the new tonkotsu red, and it was so good. The broth was rich and flavorful, the egg and chashu were perfectly cooked. Really great. The only warning I'd give people is that the spice level you pick is no joke. I really like spicy food, but I thought I would take it easy that day and try the 6/10. My bowl was fire, delicious fire, but fire. If you don't like spicy, don't get this. And, if you do like spicy, you've been warned.

My two daughters and I really like Jinya Ramen Bar. The ramen options with the pork broth are amazing - you can readily tell the restaurant simmers the pork bones forever, getting all of the flavor and collagen and other tasty stuff for the broth. And the seasoned eggs and pork slices are delicious, whether you go for a more standard ramen or something spicier. Really super duper tasty. And even my wife and remaining daughter, who aren't the biggest ramen fans, enjoy going. The non-Ramen dishes, like the curry and rice bowls, are super tasty, the cocktails are really well executed, the ice cream mochi tasty, and ambience super cool. Pro-tip - if you get the Jinya frequent flyer no., remember to give to the server. They sometimes forget to ask.

Jules was awesome as our server! Excellent food and great ambiance. Great selection of appetizers. Food came out fast and was excellent.

So good we went back twice in less than 24 hours! Attentive to food allergies and delicious food. Great pacing of food with appetizers, drinks, and main course. The most perfectly cooked gyoza I've had! The brussel sprouts were outstanding, and wish more places would follow this trend. The spice levels were on point. Spicy was actually spicy, but enough so you could taste the spice AND the rest of the flavorings. Generally hot/spicy is too spicy in where you taste the hot and miss the subtle flavorings. Having mixed company and spice level interests Jinya definitely hit the mark. Fresh and full flavored. Definitely go if there's a location near you! The artwork and staff were engaging. Would definitely go back as we loved the vibe!

Absolutely criminal to charge as much as they do for ramen and then nickel and dime you for toppings. Ramen is extremely average at best, with portions on the smaller side. Absolute rip-off. Karage is not the right texture. The only thing they got right was the gyoza. To top it off, they charge a $3 fee for credit card processing (surprising given how much they charge) but staff forgot to remove it when I paid cash. Then they made it extremely awkward , embarrassing and time-consuming when I went back and asked for the charge to be removed. To sum up - extremely overpriced average ramen. Not worth it.

JINYA Ramen Bar is located in the basement of Ballston Mall. Inviting spot which we visited in October for lunch. We enjoyed our uber efficient server, Olga. Kudos to Olga. Started with a couple drafts, DC Brau Pilsner and a Sapporo--DC Brau a clear flavor victor. The four piece appetizer Pork Gyoza (Japanese Dumplings) disappeared quickly--delish! We also tried the Salmon Poke Mini Taco app, also tasty but I would lean toward the Gyoza. Entrees included the Chicken Ramen & the Tonkotsu Spicy. The Chicken Ramen was outstanding and we both preferred the thinner noodles that came with it over the thicker noodles that came with the Tonkotsu Ramen. Dessert was the Mochi Ice Creme (Japanese dessert consisting of a soft, chewy rice dumpling (mochi) wrapped around ice cream). Perfect!

The ramen was pretty good. The noodles absolutely delicious. The impossible bun was so great! The crunch and the softness of the bun with their sauce was just perfection. Their shrimp sushi was mid at best. With a sear on the shrimp and more rice than shrimp, it was kind of a disappointing bite. The seating as well as the service were great. Would come here again. Very friendly environment overall and good food!

The broccolini is a good basic. The chicken cha siu is also pretty good. I honestly don't love their ramen since the noodles are too firm and don't soak up the flavor and also the soup tends to be too salty for me. It's okay for lunch, but it's nothing to write home about. Service was pretty standard and fairly quick. The interior is dark and feels like a sports bar.

Came here with a colleague for lunch. They had plenty of space, and we were seated quickly. Menu was straight forward, but a bit pricy compared to the rest of the offerings in the food court right outside. The food was delicious, but I really don't remember much of the taste. All I remember was looking at an empty bowl and wanting more, so it must be nom nom good. 5 stars just for that! Also, music is good too.

A solid ramen spot. Easy to walk in and eat some ramen to satisfy the craving. Decor was a bit dark but it was also really rainy. Love the tonkotsu ramen and the dessert was pretty good too!

Had a pretty good experience here. I was seated immediately, the waitress was very nice and cheeked on me regularly. The food was flavorful, it was a little heavy on the salt than i personally care for but still good. Loved the spice level of my ramen. The environment was a little loud definitely not my seen but I will come back here.

The only thing that was good about the place was the food itself. Some of the worst service possible. Waited over an hour just for someone take our orders. Then we ran out of water, and guess what? The waiter took half an hour just for that! And then when we tried to get the checks, there went another hour! We had servers 3 times "apologize for the wait" and tell us the check was coming soon, yet we still had to wait that time. I've never not tipped someone until that day. Never coming back to this place again. 6 servers working when we went and no one could attend to us.

this place is soooo good. i walked here from the metro so it took me a bit to find it - it's on the bottom floor of the mall! i ordered the spicy creamy vegan ramen and it was absolutely delicious - a huge bowl and i finished it all. the service was great as well- our server took the time to explain all the menu options to us. i can't wait until the next time i eat here. :)

Always great ramen every time we go! The Tonkotsu Black is my absolute favorite but would also recommend the chicken wonton and shrimp wonton ramen. The dumplings are great as well for an app! Their cocktail list is really innovative - make sure to try something with yuzu or Japanese whiskey!

I was looking for ramen places in the area and I remembered my boyfriend and I came to Jinya before and the food was good. This time I came alone and the service was great, I ordered as soon as the waiter/bartender (Sean) came and my food came out fairly quickly. The waiter was very nice and friendly, he made sure I was comfortable and checked on me consistently to see if I needed anything else. It's actually funny because when he walked over I asked for a ginger beer and he already had one in hand so that was a great bonus! Even when I was sitting and waiting on my order multiple servers and I -- believe a manager came to check on me often so that was amazing. The food was hot and very fresh, they also remembered all my add-ons (they even have a fresh garlic add on that comes with garlic cloves in a jar and a garlic press, very cool) so everyone was attentive. This was a great experience and I would definitely be coming back and recommending it to others !

Yelp, let me remind you, ever since we (hubby and I) went to Japan and had Ichiran ramen (the best ramen EVER), we have been on a journey to find our staple ramen place back home and near where we live in Arlington. I had heard of Jinya from several people, so we ventured here on Indigenous Peoples' Day/Columbus Day. We were sat promptly when we arrived by a friendly host or possibly the manager, not sure. We were greeted shortly afterwards by our server and decided to order wings. While ordering our entrees, the server asked us if we had any allergies, I do not, but my husband is allergic to shellfish which he shared. We were surprised to learn from the server that all of the ramen, sans the vegetarian ramen have a broth recipe that includes shellfish. We were disappointed, but glad for the transparency, so the hubby ordered the spicy creamy vegan with Char Siu on the side. I ordered the Jinya Tonkotsu Original. First, the appetizer: The wings were delicious! They were sweet, with great underlying seasoning and a great crunchy texture. They were so good! Both my husband and my ramen was mediocre at best, the broth was just okay, the noodles weren't great, the pork lacked flavor and overall we were disappointed. I was excited to go along with the grain, but honestly this was not our fave, not something we recommend and likely a place we will not go back to. Sorry...not sorry!

These guys are amazing! We came in 10 minutes before and honestly expected to be turned away but they say sat us right away! June was exceptional also. She's very attentive. 10'out of 10

Solid ramen bar but nothing special. A solid spot for the vegan/vegetarian palate. But turns out franchising multiple locations of a NY classic doesn't always equate to stellar quality. Takoyaki is a winner though!

The vibe here is great! We sat at the bar and enjoyed watching the two massive TVs - it looked like 4 monitors were combined to create one big TV! We tried the Spicy Umami Miso Ramen. The pork broth on this was yummy and definitely delivered on the umami flavor. It wasn't quite spicy but offered a nice warmth. I really liked the noodles as well, they were very bouncy and chewy. Hope to come back and try the other offerings!

Ima be honest. Although our server was great. They really missed the mark. The food was quite flavorless to me. Excellent server, decor, and ambience, I just wish I enjoyed my food like I should've.

My sister and her bf and I went for dinner. ManySalmon cones were super fresh and a bit spicy. The couliflowwr was delicious and the mint, pinenuts and sliced garlic added to the delicacy. the shrimp spring rolls were surprisingly light and were tasty pieces of hot fresh shrimp and salt. The crispy rice with spicy tuna was really spicy. Really! Couldn't finish it but I am a wimp. For ramen I got the tonkatsu black and it was amazing. My sister got the same thing and agreed. Karaage chicken was the other ramen and he said it was like what he was used to eating in Japan. My sister thought it was better. I loved mine better. Service was good.

A pretty good spot to get ramen the broth is flavorful and their choices are plentiful just not quite an elite 5 star spot for me. Still recommend if you are hankering for ramen and stumble across.

Came here with my niece, who is a lover of Ramen. JINYA is located in the lower level of Ballston Quarters. Very centrally located and the space is beautiful!!! We were seated at a booth by the windows that were opened so it felt like we were dining alfresco while also enjoying the AC on this steaming Saturday. Roberto was our server and he was awesome!!! I personally have not tried ramen yet (I'm a surf & turf girl lol) and he was able to make some excellent recommendations for me. My niece had the chicken ramen with extra noodles. She said it was great!!! She's only 13 but she is indeed a connoisseur of ramen (it is all she ever eats when dining out). We shared the garlic shrimp spring rolls, which were a 10 out of 10. They serve it with a blended salt "dip", which I found odd but when I tried it I understood why!!! I had the caramelized cauliflower and the spicy creamy shrimp tempura (I was so hungry I forgot to take pictures of both). Both were excellent!!! The shrimp gave bang bang shrimp vibes and the cauliflower was lemony, garlicky, and packed with so much flavor!! The ramen was plentiful but all the other dishes were small plates. I wanted to also try the crispy rice with tuna but my niece wanted to grab ice cream afterwards so I had to leave some room. The menu was much more extensive than other ramen places I've been too. They also have a full bar, full speciality cocktails menu, and they have happy hour on the weekend until 6pm (can't rember what time it starts)! The happy hour menu also includes a couple of food choices. I highly recommend Jinya Ramen Arlington. You will not be disappointed!

Ramen is BOMB. Tongkatsu Spicy was Delicious, highly recommend Also had the Baltimore Blondie beer and the happy hour crispy chicken -- (5) big pieces (dark meat) and cost about $6. Would recommend Pablo was our bartender and was very helpful. Would come back

This was my second time at Jinya (my first time at the Arlington location) and as always the food never disappoints. I always get the flying vegan harvest ramen bowl and its spicy but good! My bf got the spicy tonkotsu and loved it. We also ordered some sake which was strong yet odorless. The ambience was dimly lit with huge flat screens and good music, but not too loud that you can't hold a conversation. Our server was nice but awkward, spoke slightly above a whisper so it was hard to hear him, and he constantly forget things that we would ask for such as napkins. He also handed us someone else's credit card and accidentally charged our bill to said card. I still prefer the 14th St location, but overall I enjoyed my dining experience at the Arlington location!

Visited Jinya (located in Ballston Market area) on a Saturday and it was easy to be seated. There is no reservation process. The host was very thorough in seating us and explaining the menu as we were visiting for the first time. They even offer chopstick helpers if you are not accustomed to using chopsticks. The menu provides several options and combos as well as options to substitute based upon diet e.g., vegetarian, etc. There is a cocktail, wine, and beer menu as well. The price is great for the portions you receive. There are sauces on the table to amp up the spice of your meal. I had the jinya bun, chicken chasu and salad combo and alcohol free cocktails for $38. Would definitely visit again for casual dine in or takeout. There is paid street parking and parking deck attached to the market area for easy access to the restaurant. @sharpandsoundstyle

The ramen is pretty good here. They have a few vegan and vegetarian options which is great given that a lot of the time ramen is not vegetarian. The service at the Arlington location was OK. I did have to remind the server multiple times to bring me my check as well as a box to take home leftovers. However, the food came out quickly and was delicious. Portion sizes are huge though, so if you are a light eater, you are more than likely to have leftovers to take home, but the ramen doesn't taste nearly as good though the next day. Overall, a good spot for some decent ramen.

It was my first time and it was so delicious. I will be back. The service was awesome. My favorite thing were the salmon poke tacos. The bao bun needed a larger piece of meat. The fried chicken was just so so.

This place is solid, not the best ramen ever but still hits the spot when you're craving ramen. I actually loved the fried chicken though, and that was my fav part of the meal. The atmosphere is very cool and a great place to go with friends or on a date.

A little pricy for lunch, but completely worth going to check out if you're a Ramen enjoyer. There are definitely places that have spectacular ramen but Jinya Ramen is not far behind. The Mock-tail I got was called the Topipikaru, absolutely fantastic tasting drink, tasted very tropical and provided a great summer feel, I definitely want to learn how to make this so I can have it for days I'm not eating at Jinya! The ramen noodle I had was the wonton chicken, and it was delicious it came out quick and it came out at a nice temperature not too hot where you can't dig in! The service was also top notch, shout out to the Roberto behind the bar, great with the greetings, friendly attitude, and welcoming atmosphere!

We decided to have lunch here as all the other restaurants had an hour wait time, and Jinya had a table available for our group. The restaurant is downstairs, so it may be the reason for this hidden gem. We enjoyed their ramen and rice dishes. The entrees were delicious and filling. Service was great and the atmosphere was perfect for our group. We were able to chat while enjoying our lunch. Metro stations nearby. Great spot for lunch and dinner and service is excellent.

I've been to Jinya many times and I ALWAYS order the Spicy Umami Miso Ramen because it's delicious and I like ordering foods that I know I will like. For some reason, on this most recent visit, I decided to try my waitress' recommendation of Tonkotsu Black. I loved it!! I really can't tell which one I like better. Both options are great!!

Fresh flavors! This restaurant is good. They treat us very nice and the food came out quickly and hot. We had 4 options for dinner for our group and we choose the pork ramen. Delicious pork belly with ramen and the noddles were fresh and soo good, love it! Service was fast and attentive. Ambient is relaxing with plenty of tables for a big group. We will definitely be coming back for more. Date of visit; June 2023 Group# 6

I'd lived in the Courthouse neighborhood of Arlington 25 years ago, and wanted to take hubs to see what the updated Ballston Mall had turned into, and boy was I shocked to see its transformation! We wandered to tue food court and of course, anything Asian was going to catch my eye, and I knew we had to check this place out. We started off with the Impossible gyoza (not a fan, but glad I tried them), I got the Jinya chicken ramen, hubs got a salmonpoke bowl, both of which we liked a lot, and we shared the sautéed broccolini - which was seasoned and cooked perfectly. Overall, we really liked this place. Not the absolute best we've ever had, but good enough that we'd come back, the next time we're in Arlington.

I ordered from uber eats and received a quarter of broth and no meat. Sloppy packaging as well. I've gone to other Jinya locations, so much better.

My friend and I went on opening day and got a free bowl of ramen! The yuzu shio delight is amazing - along with all their bowls. This is a chain restaurant so differences occur at all locations. Service was fabulous on day one and the ambiance is always lovely for a ramen shop in Jinya locations.

First time here. We ordered the spicy prawn ramen, the vegan ramen and the fried chicken to try. Oh my Lord!!!! Yummmmmmmmmmm Our server was the most lovely young lady, very efficient, polite, knowledgeable and friendly.

I ordered the red Opal Fire Ramen from here for delivery a few months ago, and although the noodles got soggy during the delivery, the broth was excellent, and so I knew I had to come back here in person. And the restaurant did not disappoint. The service was excellent, and our food was ready fairly quick. We got two bowls of the for Opal ramen, and although it was vegan, the broth was perfectly seasoned, and honestly one of the best ramen broths I've ever tasted. Note that it is on the sour side (I think it's just based on sweet and sour soup). We finished our ramen super quick, and we're completely satisfied.
