JINYA Ramen Bar - Baton Rouge

Jinya was great. Our server Tabby was absolutely amazing. Since this was our first visit (but not our last), she took time to go over the menu and tell us all the best sellers and we tried a lot of her recommendations. The food and service was great. Go and enjoy.

My first time coming with my daughters and Mom and we loved it!! Will definitely come back when we are in town. Need a place like this in Alabama. Thank you for the awesome experience. Our waitress was great and patient with us knowing it was our first time visiting.. Highly recommend if you're in the area to stop by..Bravo Zulu 🫡🤩

Absolutely delicious! I am from Vegas and have been to the one there, but the food here tastes just as great if not better than at home. My husband tried the Spicy Creamy Vegan Ramen soup base, but took out the tofu and added egg and chicken. Yum. I had the Spicy Chicken Ramen which was also perfect. Would definitely come again if we're back in town.

Nice place in Baton rouge, we were just driving by on the way to new orleans and decided to check it out due to crazy high reviews. Tried the tan tan man , red tonkatsu level 6 and the matcha trimasu. Overall everything was good 6 was not so spicy for me but i have a high tolerance. Waiter and staff were great but more like a 4/5 place not a 5/5. Dessert was bangin though, super tasty, very creamy and nice presentation!!

Trice was an awesome waitress! She checked up on me just about every time I needed something and was super helpful in deciding what to get. Highly recommend eating here! The food is always fantastic, and no matter how intimidating some of the menu items seem, they're always absolutely delish!

ANTHONY AND THE REST OF JINYA ON PERKINS ROWE WERE ABSOLUTELY A DREAM. The food came out in no time at all we were sat and serviced very quickly. This was such a pleasant experience and I will be returning again. Thank you all so much!!!

JINYA Ramen Bar is a must-visit for ramen lovers and anyone looking to enjoy a comforting bowl of noodles. The combination of delicious food, attentive service, and a warm atmosphere creates a memorable dining experience. I’ll definitely be returning to try more of their menu options and explore their seasonal specials!

Dee was amazing!!!!! This was my first time at this restaurant, Dee was very nice going through the menu with my table, gave us suggestions. She refilled our drinks very fast.

Carlos was our server and he was very attentive and came to check on us often. He gave us best sellers and personal opinions on the menu which was great! I had the premium tonkotsu red ramen which was pretty good! My friend had a creamy spicy vegan ramen which shocked me with how flavorful it was. I had the e tomo e tomo drink which I loved as well! The crispy rice was a nice, light starter too! Definitely will be back!

This was super good! I think everything exceeded my expectations and I love how they have happy hour daily. All the happy hour drinks were really good. We did get one drink that wasn't apart of happy hour, the Japanese jewel. Absolutely worth it! Delicious drink. It was a beautiful day so we sat outside, it's nice that their outdoor seating is completely covered. We were sat immediately on a Saturday afternoon.

Absolutely love this place! It's definitely one of my favorites, the service has done downhill a little bit. It seems as though they filtered out the old servers for new younger ones and they not as experienced. For this particular time our waitress was rude and only checked on us once. We tried to get a birthday plate for my brother but it never came unfortunately. Only got refills once but the food was amazing as usual so I guess it makes up for it. The creamy shrimp tempura is always fried just right and they're big shrimp. The sauce is like a spicy mayo and with the lettuce mix it's even better. The takoyaki isn't my kinda texture but it still tastes good, my brother loves it. He got the shrimp wonton ramen which was nice and creamy with a tiny bit of spicy. The wontons are kinda slimy but they still taste good. I got my usual the spicy chicken ramen and no complaints there. They have 3 spicy levels, mild, spicy and hot. The hot doesn't have as much flavor it's more of just for the spice so usually the "spicy" heat is the best. The restaurant is always cozy and welcoming.

I've had jinya ramen in Houston, but this is my first time having it in Baton Rouge. From what I remember, it is pretty similar and of course the Ramen was great. I think my only complaint would be that I wish it had more meat as it seems that most other ramen places I've been to had larger portions of meat. Great location with great service. The food came out fast and was very flavorful, not too salty. I'd come back if I'm in town.

Whitney was a great bartender. I had the impossible gyoza and a flying violette. Main course I went with the flying vegan harvest and it was served properly. I got one jinya chicken ramen order to go. The restaurant kept a steady flow of a crowd. The bar wasn't too busy.

Great service here. The appetizers we tried were amazing. After having the ramen, I would order something spicier next time for more flavor.

Now I get why this place is always busy! The food does not disappoint. My toddler enjoyed the Tokyo Curry Rice bowl. We also had the Spicy Chicken Ramen, Creamy Shrimp and Brussels. Service was extremely quick considering how busy they were. I think this is a great date night spot. It is located right next to a Cinemark movie theater. Easy to catch a quick bite and head over to the movies.

10/10 lunch! Food was great and so was server Whitney!!! I loved the fun vibe at lunch time and music

Great food, great service. The spicy creamy vegan ramen, j girl mock tail, and panna cotta desert were great. Cant wait to go back.

food was really good, service was nice :). recommend sitting outside! the server was sweet and drew a little cat on our receipt. the chicken chashu was really good, i was nervous it wouldn't be as phenomenal as its a ramen bar but if you enjoy rice bowls and soy sauce you'll love it. i ate it up quickly. it had both ground chicken and chicken breast! the j girl was very good & fizzy. matcha lychee was too sweet for me but actually very good outside of that, i just realized i don't like lychee lol. but i will definitely try matcha and lemonade more now!! the takoyaki was also good, the octopus itself is very squishy and the flavor comes from the sauces they provide. i liked it although the octopus is hard to chew, it's like squid, i liked the takoyaki regardless. Do recommend

The spicy miso umami ramen is my favorite!! Whitney provided great service and was very sweet :)

Price: $$ Portion: 4 stars Taste/Quality: 3.5 stars Service: 3 stars JINYA Ramen Bar was recommended to us by a friend, we decided to give it a try. Stopped in around 7 pm, wait was 1 1/2 hours without a reservation, surprisingly we only waited 30 minutes and received a text. We sat at the ramen bar, pretty cool watching the workers prepping ramen. My 3 stars come with wait time to get our food. Our server was friendly. We placed our order at 7:40, at 8:15 we were still waiting on appetizers. Ramen broth was a little salty in the Jinya Chicken Ramen, but better tasting than most ramen we've tried in LA. My husband ordered extra ramen for his Tonkotsu Black but it took so long he canceled the order since his broth was already getting cold. Chicken Chashu Bowl was delicious, and the serving size was too much for me (regular size), you'll have leftover for breakfast/lunch the next day. All in all, you should try JINYA Ramen Bar. Make it your experience. We came on a Friday night where it was a little busier, so on another day, it may not be, and your experience will be best! Enjoy~ cheers!

When downtown Perkins, this is a cute place to check out out! I brought my niece here and we enjoyed the atmosphere and sitting outside. Our food took forever!!! While waiting, we tried all of the sauces and almost got full on those. We got the edamame as an appetizer and for 6$ you get the smallest portion. Our server, Santos, was not very helpful whatsoever when ordering. I asked a few questions about the menu and what they carried and he responded with options that I asked nothing about. I asked if they could split the spicy chicken ramen for me and my niece and he said yes. I also added the seasoned egg. Food took forever, and then he didn't add the egg. Bummed but the ramen was still good! I'd come back for the ramen, but service was ehh. Our server walked out multiple times and didn't come back to our table. Took us about 20 minutes for him to come pick up my card. The hostess was super sweet though!

I love the Ramen from this place. It's very good. The ambience is wonderful. The only reason why I gave it. A four star was because the service is a hit or miss and they don't always have everything you want as far as ingredients are concerned.

For starters, the staff was really nice. My food was orders in no time! And it was super tasty too. I ordered the JINYA Chicken ramen with a seasoned egg and mushrooms. It was nice and hot when it came to me, along with the pork wontons I ordered. This place was very delicious and I definitely plan on coming back here.

I've always wanted to try this place and one night for a solo date I came here. They have a happy hour I believe everyday. These pork buns are amazing and are 3$ during happy hour. I also had an amaretto sour which was also on the happy hour menu as well. Bartender did a wonderful job. I had the spicy umami Ramen. Next time I know to add additional items to the bowl but I enjoyed either way. I had panna cotta for desert. Only thing I'd add would be a larger scoop of ice cream. I like that they put the crumbs on top it adds a nice crunch.

Notes: 1) I go often 2) it's packed 3) not many seats 4) not many servers Pros: 1) it's still good 2) when served, pretty good service 3) food is good as always Cons: 1) well it's packed so gotta fight for a spot Rating: 4.5/5 Well it's always good here. The ambiance is good. The food is good. The service is good when you get it. The take out is pretty solid too. I think everyone is doing what they can to serve people and stuff. The restaurant is a bit small and may need a bigger location. The food is good. The dipping ramen hits. The black ramen is good. The rice dishes actually slap real hard. I had one and I was amazed. Anywho, I still recommend. But don't go during normal times cause it's packed. (Sorry staff, it's just a great experience).

I prefer pho over ramen so this was just ok.....two slivers of chicken... i really could have made it at home. This was very tasty, however not worth the money. I also think that the staff was top-tier the gentleman that we had had I was very courteous and attentive to our needs.

Service was absolutely great ! Also had the takoyaki which was also delicious. But the ramen was absolutely atrocious?? It tastes like Walmart chicken broth. I normally love eating traditional Japanese ramen but there aren't any traditional restaurants in LA. Maybe my standards are too high? They should go back to the drawing board with the ramen... cause what the helly???

This is our first time trying Jinya. W read great reviews and my husband loves noodles!!! So we are here giving them a shot. We're greeted upon entry and quickly seated. We chose a booth to set in. The decor was nice and they were jamming. The ambience is definitely nice and laid back. I like how they had their trademark etched into their tables. A very cool thing.. Vanessa was very nice and polite. She walked us through the menu and let us know what's what and recommendations she had. I love the fact that the menu had a variety of items to choose from. You could mix and match, add or take away anything you didn't want. We had the crispy chicken, a house salad, the chicken wonton bowl, the spicy chicken and shrimp bowl, lemonade, root beer and a Tokyo iced tea. Sorry I didn't get a picture of it. It looked very nice and my husband loved it. The food was good but, my husband wished his was a lil more spicy. He said he chicken/shrimp wonton was amazingly different and delicious. The salad was yummy and the sauce to dip the crispy chicken in was awesome. My bowl was tasty but, I realized that I d not like dumplings!!!! No matter how they are cooked the texture is all off and I just couldn't get with it. Now don't get me wrong it was all seasoned and taste good I just didn't like it. We will definitely be back and try more stuff. Vanessa was simply wonderful and everything was on point.? She made sure we had a wonderful experience.

Hi there Jinya! So glad to see you in Baton Rouge. Located in Perkins Rowe, this is a pretty solid pick for ramen if you're looking for it in the Baton Rouge area. I've tried 3 things in the menu that I really like and I usually get the following: crispy chicken, salmon poke tacos, and the tonkutsu ramen. The small dishes were flavorful and the broth of the ramen was rich, noodles and meat were perfectly cooked. I've been here several times and it's been consistent. Service was quick and my server was attentive so no complains there. Ambiance was nice and pretty quiet for me as I dined in the outside part of the restaurant.

I'd love to try this place, but the 3 or 4 times my wife, and son have tried the music was so loud that it sounded like a dance club from outside the door. I've asked the hostess if they can turn the music down and twice just got a half hearted shrug. You are a restaurant - Not a dance club

Me and my mom went there to eat some ramen. Today is Dec. 31,2024 before New Year's Eve. They sat us down at 2:00 pm and we wait for about 51 mins and no one took our order. So I told my mom let's go because we are the customer's. If they don't come to the table to take your order then leave. Never going back there again. Not worth it. BR has other ramen places that are better than this ...

Food was good. Ordered the octopus balls as an appetizer and black tonkatsu ramen bowls for entree. Although we ordered our entrees 15 minutes later than our app they both came out at the same time. Both felt lukewarm at best rather than hot so made me think it had been sitting for quite a while. Service was poor, server rarely checked on us and drinks ran empty often. Although the food was very flavorful I do wish it would have been a hotter temperature. Broth from soup was very rich I wish there was a way to add some sort of acidity for a better taste experience like vinegar or a citrus on the side. Restaurant was very cold temperature wise as well so bring a sweater.

First time ever trying ramen (that's not Top Ramen). It's absolutely delicious, and this place does it right! I highly recommend coming here, especially during their happy hour (4-6pm) . They have a full bar (and I mean wine too for all you wine lovers like me) . I can't wait to come back here and try more things off their menu, but so far I highly recommend: Chicken ramen (add whatever you want to it) Pork rice bowl Gyozas

It's an annual tradition to take our daughter to get ramen for her birthday, and this is the perfect place for that! They have an amazing happy hour menu and always an impressive array of ramen! Their kids meal is plenty of food which is all delicious and keeps kids engaged! They always add a little special plate for birthdays, but even if it's not your birthday, they're very attentive and accommodating. The ambience indoors is a cool, musical vibe. Outside is a wonderful atmosphere with foot traffic for people watching. The only downside of outdoor dining is the employees of the nearby movie theater like to take their smoke breaks outside, so you spend every 15 minutes bathing in cigarette smoke. But that is NOT Jinya's fault at all. We don't only come here for birthdays because Jinya is a very solid choice for your foodie needs, but I needed to do a shoutout because they always make my (not so little) girl feel special on her day! ((Extra bonus points for Military discounts))

A meal at JINYA IS ALWAYS DELICIOUS. It's hot, seasoned well and filling!! I tried something this time and that small bowl is just enough.

JINYA is usually on point but this was a disappointment. Besides having to wait 15 minutes to place my to go order they got the order wrong.I order the spicy ground chicken I got regular Chicken Maybe they will get right next time

I do enjoy the ramen here. Tried the special Tokyo Tonkotsu Ramen. Only issue I had was the fact that the onions were raw and you can imagine how that was an issue afterwards... My friend is more sensitive to it so she didn't even bother eating hers, but we both had an issue of the pork chashu being too fatty (90% fat honestly) so that can be pretty off-putting if that's not something you're in to. Service was kinda slow which was disappointing. It was relatively busy, but our waitress would disappear from us for a WHILE. I'd definitely say give it a go. I've had good experiences here and this time around was probably the worst one, but even then not terrible. Will be back!

Food was fantastic!! Our server Logan did a great job, very good service. The staff was very friendly!

The Spicy Ramen was really good along with the happy hour drinks. I think my stomach was made at me the following 24 hours but well worth it.

I got the spicy chicken ramen, and was decently impressed with the flavor! I could've made it hotter, but I have a higher spice tolerance. I got my meal to go, and it was packaged well and remained hot until I was ready to eat. Overall, it was good and cured my craving. However, for $20, I was I had a little more noodles and chicken ;)

I've been a frequent customer at this location for a year or two now. The food is wonderful & I love the atmosphere. My only complaint is, when we walk in (typically only two of us), we have been walked directly outside without being asked where we want to sit (on more than one occasion). Typically, in my experience at least, the hostess will ask if we want a table, a booth, the bar, or outdoors. Only at JINYA have I not been asked. It would be fine if the outdoor seating area was nice, or even felt like it was a part of the restaurant. There's no music out there, and the ambience is vastly different. The times we have been seated out there, the weather has been either extremely hot, muggy, or cold. We have had to ask, after being seated, if we can sit inside instead. There has been an almost empty bar & tables open on each occasion where we were seated outside.

I've had better Ramen in my home. But, many customers rave their selection. The customer service, however, was excellent.

Food, ambiance, and table service is wonderful. Host/hostess and wait policy is absolutely disappointing. The majority of the host are rude and not sensitive to the expectations of the clients. We were advised of wait times but told that we could not stand inside of the restaurant and wait. We were told to either wait outside or goto the book store down the road. It was 40 degrees outside and that was unacceptable. We live the food and waiters/waitress but it's insulting, insensitive, and u professional to ask is to wait outside or goto Border's bookstore.

I love Jinya with my whole heart. They've saved me from at least 4 hangovers I can remember. They could put some more chicken in the bowls for less but it's all delicious

Ramen was great, took home leftovers and had 2 additional meals. Service was good but to my disappointment they were out of 3 different drinks and had no garlic.

I am definitely going back! I ordered take out for lunch and the staff was so kind and friendly. The host and bartender that helped me, kudos. Sidnie and (forgive me bc I know I'm wrong)... Kaya :) First time there. Given help on my order by them and it turned out amazing! Easy in and out. Inside was beautiful. Need to go for Happy Hour soon. If I had one thing to criticize, it's the amount of ramen. One big bite, it's gone. For $20, I'd prefer at least double that.

The service was terrible. A host took our order after 20 minutes. Another server brought our food. Our actual server kept avoiding our table and had an attitude. And only talked to us to get our check. My food and drink took 20 minutes to make. There were only a few people in the restaurant.

Thuy An Nguyen was exceptionally friendly, and great service !!! Everything (food) she have recommended was on point!!!!

Excellent service. The ambiance is very good. I was expecting a more flavorful broth but it was good.

We have eaten here a lot when it first opened. We find both the service and food have gotten worse, especially the service. The last few times the service was horrible, especially today. The food was ok today. It wasn't as flavorful as it should. I didn't taste the "umami" flavor that Ramen supposed to have. It was bad right when we got there. There were no hostess when we walked in for lunch today. Only two of us, so not even a big party. I waited a few minutes for the hostess and finally had to look around and ask if anybody was working at the hostess stand today or should we just grabbed a table. A lady was sitting at a booth got up and walked toward us. I think she's the manager. Instead of coming directly to us and help us, she walked past us to grab another lady who I think is the hostess to help us. The hostess walked us to the booth right behind the table that the other lady was sitting, which she went back to resume her conversation. Of course with our luck, the table wasn't wiped and had stuff all on it and the hostess was nice and told us that she has to wipe it down real quick, which is fine. It happens. We sat down and looked at our meal and waited for someone to help us. After 15 mins when we know what we wanted to order, I had to stop the lady that walked by our table, which I think is the manager that got up earlier. She looked and said, oh yall haven't been help yet. Again, she could have got us water, ask us what we want or whatever,but instead she left and looking for the waitress that that table belong to. She couldn't figure out who table it belong to, so she got the hostess and two other waitresses to discuss right in front of our table. Anyone of them could have just helped us or discuss this elsewhere. The manager finally told one of the waitress to help us. We ordered our drinks and food immediately cause we were on a lunch break. Drinks came out first of course. We sat there and drank it. By the time our food came out, our drinks were empty. The waitress dropped off our food and then left. Never came back. We finally had to flag the manager down again for refills on our drinks. This time the manager for the drinks refilled for us. We finished our lunch and waiting on the check. Finally I took my credit card our and started to put my hand in the air so someone would see me. The manager got put waitress to come back to help us. This quick lunch turned into 1.5 HOUR event. Food was ok. It was good enough but service is horrible and getting worse especially the last few times and they weren't even busy there were only like 7 tables and I think 5 waiters/waitresses. I simply don't understand why it took 1.5 hours to eat lunch today.

Dee was a wonderful server. Food was good and service was great. Love the option to sit outside and enjoy the weather.

Love this place right from the first time I went.Came back again and it's even better! As you can tell by the name, this restaurant is known for its ramen. I had the JINYA Tonkotsu Black the first time I came and it was flavorful and delicious and has plenty of toppings. For any ramen dish you order, you can pay to add extra toppings and create your own ramen bowl as you please. Second time I got the Premium Tonkotsu Red and it was just as tasty! It comes in 10 spice levels. I eat really spicy food and ordered the dish at a spice level of 6 and it truly was spicy. I loved it. However, if you can't handle extreme spice, stick to a spice level of 2 or 3 which is what the waitress said was more common. I also ordered the kale-blend noodles and it was good. I'll def do it again in the future. They have a good happy hour (HH) from 3-6 that includes drinks and food. I'll attach a picture. I got the lycheetini and it was lovely, juicy and tasty. On Mondays and Tuesdays, they also have $1 shots of hot sake which is nice if you're not sure you like sake and want to test it out. I suggest taking your tome to sip as opposed to taking it as a shot. There are a number of other items on their HH menu that I can't wait to try. Overall, I can say the Ramen is so flavorful and delicious. And the drinks are good. I will continue to come back here and highly recommend. Pro tip: come outside of peak times. This places gets really packed and can have up to an hour wait if you come during their rush periods. The bar is also an option and is seat yourself - however that can also be crowded. Also note, other customers are pretty friendly and happy to socialize at the bar if you want. So definitely don't be afraid to come solo.

We came here for after class dinner . If you want to feel warm this place is perfect for cold weather this is definitely the place to go . Have not been here in this side of town in years. Perkins Rowe is the place to go and if you want to have some really good food, you have to check out Jinya Ramen. They have this amazing appetizer the tacos couple of tacos it's called impossible taco made with plant-based meat and guacamole. It has this crispy taco shell and with the link that's bursting with flavors . The chicken wings are perfectly cooked. The chicken wings is glazed with sweet, soy topped with sesame seeds, served in the bed of lettuce. The chicken wings are perfectly cooked. Very nice and crispy and very tender. The Chef'Special Cora - Kara-Men made with clear chicken broth, ground pork bean sprouts, green onion, cilantro chili paste, onsen tamago, sesame seeds, served with thin homemade noodles topped with over easy egg The soup taste perfectly spicy My taste buds are pleasantly confused from all the different bursting flavors but it's long story short. It is just really good! I would definitely be back and try some of their other dishes in the menu and last, but not least I had the lychee martini unusual exotic taste garnished with 3 pieces of lychee in small skewer and an exotic purple orchid flower which was also amazing. My friend ordered the spicy chicken and there was an option to get it mild so she ordered the mild spicy and she said it's all so amazing. You just need to come and try this place you will never go wrong. Our server Sydnie was very sweet .

Food was pretty good, there was a strange vibe in there tho lol. Food was fine tho. I got mine to go spicy chicken bowl was good.

The good is, for the most part, the flavors and items are good. The bad is for some reason the temperature of the broth for the last three times my wife and I have been is warm at best. It used to be hot. Not sure why the change but it needs to go back to hot.

Tabemono o arigatō JINYA We have visited this restaurant several times. Each time they have consistently produced a wonderful food experience.

Zach was great for our lunch today! He was quick, efficient, and super sweet!! It was my friend's first visit and now she's hooked, on both the food and great service!
