JINYA Ramen Bar - Buckhead

Chris was amazing. I prefer this Jinya, but he made it even better. The drinks were beautiful. The food was incredible. I'm vegetarian, so I love I can easily find food here. Always worth the 2hr drive. Thank you Chris!!

Incredible bartender. Awesome food. Went for the Ramen! I had the vegan bowl “lite” as in “less” noodles with the add of two seasoned eggs 🥚 and mushrooms 🍄‍🟫 ⚡️💯💯💯 Just go. Your options are unlimited. You will definitely find great choices on Jinya’s menu. 😋 ⚡️👍🏼

Jinya is 100% my favorite ramen spot in Atlanta. I’ve visited more times than I can count over the past few years. The most recent time being just 2 weeks ago. I’m extremely saddened to know that my favorite item in the menu, that I order every single time, has been removed from the menu. 😢😢Please bring back the spicy umami miso ramen!!!

This cute little ramen spot in Buckhead. Really chill vibe. We had an awesome server who gave us great recommendations. We got the fried cauliflower and Brussels sprouts and so good. I got Japanese BBQ for a little extra sweetness dipping sauce. I order the creamy vegan ramen which is so creamy, spicy and great flavor.

Oh boy a 5 star XP. The service from the host to our server Ian was tops. The other staff were also welcoming. Now comes the bomb 😃 The ramen tastes better than the famous Tokyo Ichiran Ramen 😃 The egg was done 3/4 with mid level oozing yolk 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 The chashu was tasty, so soft that we hardly had to chew it; delicious ! The noodle a little thin but works well with the pork broth and all the other elements like chives, oil chili. A definite repeat on a factor of 5/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Hot damn ! I wish I could have two bowls. Oh yeah the goza is 8.75/10 👍🏼 The house salad has a unique vinaigrette flavour so hit a 9/10. The crispy chicken? Nice at a solid 8.25/10. Goes go with their in-house hot sauce. The pana cotta is 8.5/10. Can’t hit the 9 as I am sweet tooth bias. My partner liked it coz it is not too sweet LOL. Arnold Palmer and Hot Green Tea is great value - unlimited refills until you leave the resturant ! 😃👍🏼✌🏼💪🏼 2024 mid August

Best vegan ramen I’ve ever had—it’s rich, flavorful, and doesn’t taste like a salad floating in broth (you know what I mean). Also, don’t skip the mini Impossible tacos—they’re packed with flavor and absolutely worth it.

Had a great experience here. The service from Sydney was attentive, super professional and friendly. Atmosphere was welcoming and the ramen was so good.

I visit this JINYA location often, but I really lucked out this week during Restaurant Week! They had an incredible lunch special where I got to try the JINYA bun—perfectly tender pork belly tucked into the softest steamed bun—and followed it up with their spicy chicken ramen with chili oil… all for just $15! 🔥 Everything tasted super fresh and clearly made in-house. You can taste the quality in every bite. Shoutout to Jonathan, my server, who made the experience even better. I had a few customizations with my order, and he handled everything with care and a smile. He was attentive, professional, and just an all-around pleasure. From start to finish, the service was smooth and welcoming just like it always is here. Easily one of my favorite lunch spots in the city! 🍜✨

Nikuman and Jinya bun are a must from the small plates. You can't go wrong with any of the ramens. The flavors are delicious. The panna cotta dessert is delicious to end the meal with. Their special craft cocktails are great. I recommend the lychee-tini. They even have mocktails if you don't want booze. The service is great. Nice and efficient. The ambiance is beautiful and modern.

I can go on and on about this place. My husband and I eat here, faithfully. At least 3-4 times a month. There are multiple locations but we chose this one every time because the location and vibes are great, the servers, hosts, and the managers remember us by name. The people in the kitchen probably know our order by heart. Jeff, Jefferson, or as they call him, Jefe, has amazing service. Not only does he remember our orders but he's constantly recommending new dishes to use that we will enjoy. He's never wrong. His service is quick (thank you kitchen cooks), he has nice conversation and doesn't linger too long at the table. If we go, we request him every time. What makes this place even better is that if Jeff isn't there, the rest of the team treats us like family. Thank you Nick, David, Roberto and friends! Perfect for winter or summer time!

I'm proud to announce I'm a fan of JINYA Ramen Bar - Buckhead! So far, I've eaten here twice, as recently as last night. We went in the evening, a little after 6:30pm on a Wednesday. Parking was plentiful. This JINYA location is in a shopping center, with the stores lined up along the edges of the property and the big parking lot in the middle. The reason for a lot of parking available (and all of it is free!) is that in the evenings it's mostly the restaurants that are open in the evening during the weekdays, and there aren't that many restaurants anyway in the shopping center. After letting the host know there were two of us dining together, he led us to a table. During the short walk (it was two tables and a host stand away from the front door), the host said something out loud in Japanese, and all of the other employees who heard him replied, saying the same thing, only louder. This reminded me of when I lived on Okinawa during my Air Force days (GO AIR FORCE!) when just about all of the restaurants' employees in all of the restaurants that I ate at did the same thing - only they were VERY LOUD when they all yelled at the same time. After being seated, we were given menus. The table was already set for us, and there were condiments/sauces in small ceramic sauce holders. We waited a few minutes for our server to come by, because he also was the bartender. The only drawback to choosing this place eat is their menu is much too busy. Just about everything looked good on the menu. I'm not a vegetarian, nor am I into "Impossible" anything, but those are available for people who are vegetarian or who seek out non-meat items. I ordered the Wonton Chicken Ramen. R ordered the JINYA Tonokotsu Black Ramen. We didn't feel like we waited very long before these bowls of yumminess arrived. I loved smelling the nice comforting chicken soup-ish aroma that was placed in front of me. I already knew I was going to love this bowl of ramen, and it certainly did not disappoint me. Instead of grabbing the chopsticks, I picked up the spoon to taste the broth. Mmmmm! Chicken flavored and not salty! I kept this up until I realized that everything else in the bowl was no longer covered by the broth. I was extremely surprised by how delicious the wonton was. I was expecting just plain chicken wrapped inside the wonton skins, but the meat inside was so well seasoned that they tasted like something you'd find in a dim sum restaurant. If you order the wonton in the ramen, you may find that, besides being awesome tasting, they're also slippery when using chopsticks. There were a lot of noodles in our bowls, and I thought I got a generous amount. I loved that they definitely weren't mushy. The spinach and onions added a nice dark green color and different textures. While I was still in the middle of my meal, I decided to add some of the hot sauce available in the ceramic container on the table. It's actually a spicy red paste. The trick to adding this paste to your bowl is scoop up some of the the broth in your soup spoon, use the spoon that's in the hot sauce holder to scoop up the paste, try to shake off the paste from the spoon into the spoonful of broth (without flinging it into your eyes), use your chopsticks to dilute the paste into the broth, and push the spoon deeper into the broth in a few places in the bowl and use your chopsticks to mix the diluted paste in with the broth in the bowl. Don't just plop the paste directly into your bowl because you're going to end up with a nice spicy surprise during one of your sips of broth later. R gave his Tonokotsu Black Ramen two thumbs up. I didn't order any of the Crispy Chicken that I saw on the menu, but the table next to us had an order delivered to them and it looked so perfect that I wanted to just help them eat it. Ok, honestly, I wanted to try a lot more things on the menu, but those will have to wait until future visits. I know we'll be back!

Jinyu for ramen is the move. You can get on the waitlist, but you may not even need it. The service is fast and the food is delicious. The tempura Brussel sprouts are good and the tempura is seasoned pretty good. But I would only give them a 4/5 since I think the actual vegetable should be seasoned too. But the creamy vegan ramen and the jinyu chicken were phenomenal. I would encourage you to got there for fast service and good ramen.

The food tasted a little more like a chain than my normal favorite ramen bars; it was a little more unhealthy tasting but very good and flavorful. Pricing was fine, I liked that I could add gyoza and salad for $6 more instead of having to pay full price for those apps when eating alone but the add ins for the ramen were overpriced like $3 to add in an corn, onions or other cheap vegetables . The ginger salad dressing was great, liked it better than the gyoza surprisingly. Would eat again if I'm in the area but otherwise will try to a more authentic ramen bar to call my favorite next time.

We went here for a Friday night quick dinner. The staff was amazing and we got in to our table very quickly. The food was great as well! It came out quickly and the steam buns are SO GOOD! Definitely would recommend this place for some good Ramen, Steam buns and Sake!!!

Service is great, server is very attentive, The place has a nice vibe. The food however is getting worse every single time. The food here is always too salty for me. I had the spicy tonkatsu ramen yesterday and it tastes like Tabasco hot sauce broth with dry piece of pork meat.

Looking for the perfect ending to Self care Sunday? Look no further! Last evening we enjoyed dinner and drinks at Jinya! The spicy chicken ramen was delicious, with a perfect balance of heat and flavor. The roasted brussel sprouts added a nice crunch and complemented the ramen well. The sake enhanced the meal with its smoothness. The ambiance was perfect for a cozy dining experience, and the staff provided great service, making the overall dining experience delightful.

If you can't tell by now, this is my FAVORITE place! Tried the Chef's Special, the Red Garnet (?) and per usual, it was AMAZING. I went back a few days later and got some more lol. Despite it being listed as spicy, it is indeed NOT spicy, so don't let that deter you from trying it out. I personally love the Buckhead location above all others, and highly recommend checking it out.

I met my employee here for what I hoped would be a fun Christmas lunch. Unfortunately, Jinya's lack of knowledge about gluten made this a disappointing experience. They have gluten free noodles on the menu, but our server said that they didn't have any gluten free sauce options to pair with the noodles. That didn't make any sense to me, but he wouldn't budge and refused to ask the chef or let me speak with a manager. I was frustrated and hungry but didn't want to make a scene, so I ordered the only two items on the menu that were marked as gluten free: edamame and caramelized cauliflower. I will stay away and won't be recommending Jinya to anyone.

Jinya is a great option for ramen but it's not my top choice which is why I give it a 4 out of 5. They have a large selection of ramens that suit both plant based folk and meat eaters. As well as other broth options if you don't eat pork. I've tried a few different ramens; Spicy Chicken Ramen, Jinya Tonkotsu Black and the Chicken Chashu Bowl. All were pretty good and they allow you to substitute things for an additional cost of course, which is still nice because some ramen shops don't. Overall I would say you can't go wrong with Jinya but there are better ramen spots. The wings tho were on point, I would definitely go back just to try the wings again, but that was probably the most memorable thing I've had. I've always gone for lunch, never needed to make a reservation but it does pick up so reservations might help. Service has always been good I usually get in an out without a problem and they are normally accommodating. I would say this is more of a casual sit down place. You could come for lunch, with friends or a chill date. Parking is available in the shared strip mall lot.

So glad that I found Jinya. The reviews were great so mom and I popped in to grab some late afternoon ramen. Jinya is located in a small strip mall. Parking was easy. Inside I was surprised to see how many people were dining, considering how early it was. There was plenty of seating and the bartender who served us was super nice. I had the Tonkotsu Black ramen with a little heat added. Mom had the chicken ramen. Mine was superb. Very flavorful - lots of yummy stuff in it. The seasoned egg was delicious. I also loved the fried onion and garlic chips added for flavor. The portions were plenty for a meal and prices were fair for what you get. I will definitely be back again one of these days. Definitely worth checking out

this was my first time here and i ordered the tonkotsu black ramen and the spicy creamy shrimp appetizer. The food was delicious!! And my server Tanya was super helpful and sweet :))) Amberly the bartender makes the best drinks, i highly recommend getting the ichigo sour and the lycheetini!! Overall super great experience and easy parking, highly recommend coming to this location. :))

I got an order to go. When I got home I realized I did not get the spicy noodles I always get. I called and said that my order was incorrect and asked if I could get a discount the next time I came in. The manager said "NO". I paid $23 for noodle and I could not get at least a 10% discount next time? Really?

Ian and Hubert had amazing service, very attentive, friendly, food was tasty, and served very fast

Had a great dinner here at JINYA Ramen Bar. I had the ramen with dumplings. I added garlic onion, and chicken. My daughter had the pork ramen. She also added garlic and extra pork! Her dad had the spicy Ramen bowl. He added garlic and chicken! As you can see from our pictures we enjoyed our dinner. Everything was delish!!! We will definitely be returning.

Wow, who knew vegan ramen could be so good and as TAKE OUT no less!! The spicy creamy vegan ramen was fabulous. The broth was so rich and delicious, and not too spicy. The veggies were fresh and tasty, and the tofu while very simple (plain? Silken? Not fried) it was perfect. It all worked together amazing. The noodles didn't fair so well in travel and as take out I think you probably end up with less for your money but I'd order it again and would def try the other vegan ramens.

Chicken wonton ramen for me with some crispy salmon poke tacos. Party for two and we were in and out within 20 minutes. Hits the spot on a chilly winter evening. We always recommend this spot for guests visiting from out of town. There's something on the menu for everyone! #NoRamenNoLife

Everything was great! The salad was fresh! The chicken was fried crispy and the ramen was well done. Not too salty and the noodles were not overcooked! Everything was amazing! My server, Jillian is awesome! She made recommendations and all were very tasty!

So Jinya usually does not disappoint. It's in a shopping center, so be aware of that when you look for parking ... Depending on the time of day. The space is nice. They have a bar area, indoor seating, tables at a ramen bar area, and patio seating as well (it's pretty in closed though). They have some TVs there at the bar if you wanted to check out a game. It's not set up like a sports bar so don't expect them wall to wall I sat at the bar. The bar was not particularly busy but it looked like the bartender was doubling as a server and busser so he took a while to get to me. Not his fault though, I totally get that. I had the octopus balls and the tonkotsu black (with brussel sprouts).

Jinya Ramen Bar is delicious & affordable. I love the Green Monster with Crispy beef bites. When you don't feel like cooking Jinya is perfect Year Round. Easy to place your order, Togo or dine with great service and fantastic tasting food. The Ambiance is casual. Location is good along with garage parking. Many choices to choose from.

Food here was delicious. It was speedy and fresh. The pork chashu buns were fatty and crispy on the outside and so savory, and the little veggies in the fluffy bun cut through and balanced that richness. The pork yuzu shio was rich but balanced with the yuzu flavor and citrus that really shown through the broth. The shrimp wontons were so juicy and paired so well with the richness and creaminess of the broth. Our waiter Ian was very sweet and attentive, I hope to have him again if I stop by! It's a pretty big place with outdoor seating as well, with ambient lighting and a chic feel.

I would be lying if I say that I don't love a good bowl of ramen. This place not only has great ramen but a good atmosphere/aesthetics. I visited on a Friday night and I must say it was definitely crowded to say the least. The hostess was friendly and helpful we were seated within minutes. In my book that's always a good sign. Our server came over and introduced himself. For appetizer, I got the seaweed salad and my main meal was the spicy chicken ramen. Whew, honestly I love the ramen because it's packed with tons of flavor. You can add additional toppings if you like however that can rank up in price. For extra flavor I added some minced garlic and it hit the spot. Lastly, to me the broth wasn't unbearably hot but just a little spicy. I like to add extra spice to mine which brings all the flavors together. Can't wait to come back.

Overall, i give Jinya a 9.5. The vibe and the service were great, Yep, im digging it.

We drive an hr for this ramen bar. It's one of my favorite places to eat because the ramen is to die for. Absolutely delicious food. Our service is always fantastic and the restaurant is set to lovely.

Elizar was a great server !! He knew the menu very well and was extremely helpful .... We will be back !!

Coming into the establishment the decor was very nice and clean and sharp. You treat it with a warm welcome, I don't know the language, but I thought it was pretty cool that they did it every time so came in. My weight staff was extremely pleasant and even asked, my niece, a couple of questions about her meal to make sure everything was great. The food came out very quickly and we completely enjoyed the taste of flavors. I'm grateful that they were accommodating and allowing me to add shrimp to my meal and remove the meat.

When we walked in the host was on a personal phone call and there were people obviously waiting for the hosts attention and we waited in front of the host for about 5 minutes. The dining area is beautifully designed but the kitchen and music were loud and it was hard to have a conversation. The curry over rice was relatively plain looking but surprisingly packed a lot of flavor. The ramen dishes were generally good. The broth was complex and the proportions of noodles to toppings to broth was perfect, that said the spicy bowls were not at all spicy (the server never asked our preferred spice level).

I absolutely love this place! The food was amazing, great drinks and the service can't be beat! We started off with lycheetinis tempora shrimp and salmon poke tacos. All were flavorful and delicious. We both got the tonkatsu black ramen which was really good but when we added the seasoning flavor offered on the table it was phenomenal! Jonathan was our waiter and he was very attentive! He greeted us as soon as we were seated and promptly took our drink orders. If you haven't been you need to check it out. Great food and reasonable prices!

My Server today was the bartender David! From the moment i walked in and sat at the bar, i was given a friendly greeting and had friendly service from him! I had ordered the Shrimp wonton ramen, and I have to say! That is my absolute favorite! Washed it down with a Sapporo on draft, it was great! Amazing atmosphere, would come back again

This is our favorite place for ramen in Atlanta. We love the vibe, staff and all the items we've had. Their drinks are good too! I'd only ask if they diversify their dessert menu, although a ramen place doesn't need to :)

Delicious in every bite. I came with three people and we all ordered the same thing and had a different take on it. I loved my bowl- the egg was perfect, the greens added the perfect amount of salt and overall the broth was garlicky and soothing to my soul. The meat was flavorful and tender and the place was overall clean with trendy decor. My two friends I came with felt that the seaweed added to much of an ocean flavor to the bowl aand the garlic made the bowl a bit spicy for one and the other felt that it wasn't spicy enough- thankfully they have spices you can add to your personal preference. The noodle thickness was perfect and overall would eat her everyday if I could.

Had a great dinner here at JINYA Ramen Bar. I had the ramen with dumplings. I added garlic onion, and chicken. My daughter had the pork ramen. She also added garlic and extra pork! Her dad had the spicy Ramen bowl. He added garlic and chicken! As you can see from our pictures we enjoyed our dinner. Everything was delish!!! We will definitely be returning.

As someone who has been to Japan and tasted ramen over there, I fully admit, I can be a bit snobby or hard to please about ramen back here in the US. (I sound so pretentious right now don't worry I know haha). Saying this, this was the tastiest ramen I have eaten in awhile. My family eats here often and they decided to take me for the first time and I loved it. They offer delicious vegetarian options that I was excited to try. I ordered the Spicy Creamy Vegan Ramen and added a Marinated Egg ($15.80). My step-mother is also vegetarian and got the Flying Vegan Harvest Ramen and added a Marinated Egg as well ($16.80). She also ordered the Impossible Gyoza ($9.50) for the table. My ramen was so creamy and I felt like it had a great depth of flavor. I tried my step-mother's order as well and it was also was good. It had more of an earthy flavor. However, I still think that my ramen was superior. If you love creamy ramen you have to try it. I was also pleasantly surprised by the Impossible Gyoza. I did not know what to expect, however it was crispy and the filling was seasoned very well with lots of ginger. No one was missing the meat at all. I would definitely order this again as well. The ambience inside was very comforting. I love when places have windows to the kitchen so that you can see the food being made. We came in close to closing time and the staff were very accommodating and patient as well.

After some more visits to Jinya, this place has proved that they know ramen. We came on a Saturday lunch and I had their Flying Vegan bowl. Served with tons of topping and spiced perfectly, this is the best ramen in town. Run and get your bowl of perfect ramen. We will keep returning.

I love the ramen! Service was great! I wasn't a fan of some of the appetizers but my friend loved it so I don't want to rate something poorly because I didn't have the taste for it. I will continue to go back!

Convenient location near 285 and a good place to meet a friend for lunch. Quick and efficient around noon on a Friday. It was my first time having ramen so I went super basic with the Jinya chicken ramen. Lots of meat, nice flavor. My friend is GF and found easy options. A good basic place for occasional rotation.

The food and service was amazing. The Jinya bun was so flavorful and I only ordered one, I know next time I need atleast 2. The Ramen was absolutely amazing and tasted ever better the next day. The give a great amount of food with the add ons as well.

Jillian was very friendly! The wings were good and my daughter enjoyed the kids meal. Reasonably priced!

I've come here many times and have never been disappointed. I usually get the spicy creamy vegan ramen and that's my go-to. This time I got the pork chashu bowl and that was also very fresh and tasty. I always love the soft boiled egg that's added. The service here is great, but they can get busy. Make sure to join the waitlist before going.

Jnya has become a regular take-out for our family. The chicken ramen is fabulous and the pot stickers delicious. Orders are made fast, so it's very convenient for pick up and get home while the meal is still hot.

First time here! I definitely loved the warm "welcome" of the staff. Coming in the place is pretty intimate with different types of seating. A fully stocked bar and plenty on the menu to choose from. I tried the Spicy Chicken Ramen and added a few extra things to my bowl also. Also tried the pork Gyoza and enjoyed it! For lunch time, I thought it would be SUPER busy but it wasn't which made for a quick in and out!

Their vegetarian spicy ramen is amazing. I think it's better than their regular chicken broth ramen even. Service is quick and conveniently located.

I got the JINYA black but ordered it spicy, with extra shiitake mushrooms and bamboo shoots, and it was all really good. The bamboo was a bit tough, but the thick noodles I substituted were sooooo good. Would definitely recommend.

Have great vegan options which I greatly appreciate. Whether I'm getting take out or dining in, I never have complaints about the food.

Had lunch here yesterday and it was fantastic! We were able to get right in. The servers were friendly and attentive. The food came out very quickly and was delicious! I highly recommend.

Service was great, cool atmosphere, incredible food. The food came out super quick. I got the dish thats black something. It's below the chicken section on the menu

Ramen here is spot on. Add the egg and it's pure perfection. Relaxed and low key type of ambiance. Service is always consistently great.

I've found my favorite ramen place! The ambiance is nice. The have an inside and outside area. Both nice! The service is great. Jennifer was very helpful and friendly! But the ramen.... OMG! I had the black something and it was DELICIOUS!!!

I was forced to order the crispy rice appetizer which after I asked if I could buy only crispy rice to which they said no... how hard is that to do? Then while waiting on my order at the bar the bartender went on so long to a different guest wit checking on me talking about a fishing trip that my food was ready and I left before I could get a water.
