JINYA Ramen Bar - (Temporarily Closed) Downtown Wichita

Was a little nervous to try based on the initial reviews, but gave it a shot because the website photos looked so good. I’m very glad we did! We went on a Monday evening but there were quite a few people dining in. Our waitress was super friendly and kind, she checked on us multiple times throughout our dinner. The food didn’t come out super fast but it definitely wasn’t as bad as reviews make it out to be. When we go to dinner, we usually are going as a social thing, so I don’t mind not having speedy service - it’s a sit down restaurant, not fast food. I would not describe it as slow service. The staff let us have time to enjoy our food and conversation. Our appetizers came out in under 10 minutes and our ramen arrived right as we finished the apps. We ordered crispy rice with spicy tuna and the creamy spicy shrimp tempura for appetizers. Super impressed with the shrimp tempura and I loved the spicy tuna on the rice (I wasn’t as big a fan of the crispy rice part but my friends liked it - all had good flavor though). We each tried different ramen and each one had different broth flavors which I liked - they didn’t all taste similar. Both the thin noodles and thick noodles were good. I loved the pork in mine, and the tofu in the spicy creamy vegan ramen was delicious with a great texture!! Tasty broth, and the mushrooms I ordered as an extra were great because they came chopped up rather than as big mushroom caps or slices. Made it easier to mix in. The sauces on the table were tasty too. And the egg that came in our ramen bowls - oh my god it was delicious. I did think it was a little weird that they only provide you with chopsticks and a spoon at first - I’m sure you could ask for a fork but we didn’t. It did slow us down a little eating with only chopsticks (we’re not as used to that). Overall, loved the vibe of the place and the location, food was good and I’d definitely go back again. For three of us, we each ended up paying around $25. Not an every day kind of meal for us but a great place to relax and make a normal day feel a bit more special. They have outdoor seating which will be great as it gets warmer. I think it’s great that Wichita has a place like this downtown!

So this place was nice, a really cool atmosphere and vibe. They were short staffed because someone was sent home so it was a bit slow but honestly it was cool. The food was delicious, the lighting is nice, the tables are nice, just a good vibe overall. I had the Tonkotsu black ramen, the pork was rich, actually the entire bowl of ramen was rich and delicious! Also tried the tagoyaki, JINYA bun, and spicy creamy shrimp tempura. Those were all really good! I would definitely give this place a go!

Really cool and slick interior design that keeps you lookin around while you are waiting for the food. My servers were attentive and cordial, and the food was great. I definitely recommend the chicken karaage (Japanese fried chicken)! Absolutely try all the sauces that are at your table too. The bar had a lot of drink options, and the menu has something for everyone and is very accommodating to vegetarians and vegans.

This place is an absolute gem!!!!! Run!!! For apps we split the brussel sprouts and creamy shrimp tempura (yummmmmnny), then I got the creamy spicy vegan bowl and my husband got the flying vegan bowl! Outstanding!! Service was quick and it was a Saturday night. Gorgeous restaurant and our bodies felt so good after eating like it was truly healthy food. We will be coming back for another date night!!!!! Go go go!!!!!!!

I was so excited to hear another Raman spot had opened in ict! Parking is so easy and FREE right across the street. We ordered gyoza, Brussels tempura, and the black and red Ramen. I very much enjoyed mine- the pork belly was so rich and delicious- don't expect a large amount of meat in your soup (it melted in my mouth like butter). My bowl of soup was 16$. I shared with my child and it was plenty of food. Our appetizers were not hot when they came out, and didn't have much flavor without a sauce. I would definitely eat Ramen here again.

Super swanky ramen dining! It was rather empty on a Monday evening, so Tiffany was able to give my partner and me top-tier service. This place deserves every five stars. It's on the pricier side of things, but the food, atmosphere, and service earn it. My only note might be the drinks - ours were a little watered down from what we might prefer. But those vary with bartenders. There are various seasonings and spices available to add to your dining preferences, so anyone complaining about the food being bland wasn't paying attention. Arigato!

Oh, everything was delicious and quick and the perfect date spot. Had the pork ramen and it didn't disappoint oh and the amazing poke tacos. I could have eaten 10! Will definitely be back.

I've been to a Jinya Ramen Bar in another state and was excited to see if this location was as great. The atmosphere was really nice, the staff were beyond helpful, and the food options were good. Everything tasted amazing and I can't wait to come back to try their other options!
