Slow-simmered ramen, beer & sake, Jinya buns, crispy chicken






















"This ramen shop located behind The Plaza Theatre does a good job of disguising its franchise roots. Huge metal cube lighting fixtures, exposed brick walls with anime-style paintings, and upside-down plant boxes hanging from the ceiling make Jinya feel (dare we say) just like part of the neighborhood. Alternating black and red bowls lining the open kitchen counter set the stage for what they’re best at and why you should be here—ramen. Get the spicy chicken ramen for broth that’ll clear your sinuses. And while you’re at it, snag a jinya bun stuffed with pork cashu and drizzled with their special house made tangy sauce." - juli horsford

"The long‑anticipated second in‑town Atlanta location (and sixth in the metro area) from a popular Los Angeles ramen import, opening for lunch and dinner. The menu blends traditional bowls and inventive twists — examples include a tonkotsu black with pork chashu, fried onions, and garlic oil; a garlic tonkotsu seasoned with fish powder called “cha cha cha”; and a spicy, creamy vegan ramen made with tofu — alongside baos, edamame, rice bowls, and curries." - Beth McKibben

"Meanwhile, LA import Jinya Ramen Bar plans to open a fourth Atlanta location just up the road at Plaza on Ponce in the Poncey-Highland neighborhood later this spring." - Beth McKibben
