great food and service! Jason the server was great as well:)

Everytime I come to this location I am always satisfied with my food and experience. My waiter Ricky was very attentive and kind. Jin Ramen will always be my go to ramen spot 🫶🏽 10/10 service, food and experience ❤️

One of my favorite Ramen places! This does not disappoint! The stock ( miso non-pork) is great and everyone loves the traditional tonkatsu as well! This place is great!

Ricky and Monsor were incredibly attentive, friendly and strived to make my brother's birthday feel special. They even put on a fun birthday playlist as they brought his cake out. Would recommend to anyone, regardless of the occasion!

I had high hopes for this place as it is on the Michelin Group’s Bib Gourmand list and I was not disappointed. I sat at the bar area which overlooks the kitchen and enjoyed watching the cooks prepare the food. The dumplings and pork ramen I ordered were delicious. I will definitely be back to try more of the menu soon!

Ricky did an amazing job, the second I walked in, he was super kind and made sure that my party and I were always taken care of. He answered all of our questions and gave great tips on the food

This is an amazing choice for Ramen and Asian cuisine. Reviews affirm the high quality and exceptional experience this place provides. I tried one of their bestsellers, and it tasted incredibly delicious. I highly recommend it.

Crazy amazing delicious food. Will definitely be going again. Went with a few friends and we all got something new that we weren't expecting but it was unbelievably delicious. You should definitely go for a quick bite or a low key date.

Monsur is the greatest. He is so nice to us and gave us the best service. The food is fantastic too !

I’ve been a long time patron and the food, service and atmosphere is fantastic. I happily recommend to all of my friends and family. Mansor, like all the folks who work here, are fantastic and really make sure i have a great experience. My go to is the spicy tonkatsu ramen but the entire menu is solid.

Monsur was a great host. Wish they let you swap broths, but otherwise good experience. The yuzu lemonade is fantastic

My father and I absolutely adore this restaurant. Food and service is always amazing and we’re always excited to come and get lunch! Monsur always provides excellent service whenever we come in! We absolutely recommend Jin Ramen 125th!

I have had a love-hate relationship with Jin. When they opened, man, that was a revelation. A ramen spot on 125th by the 1 train??!! You’re bugging. And it was reasonably priced and way above average quality. But as years passed, prices got hiked in what seemed an unreasonable way and the quality of ramen improved across the city. All of a sudden it didn’t seem so special So where does that leave Jin today? From my take today, prices elsewhere have caught up, so it’s once again reasonable (though not cheap). And while I wouldn’t travel across the city for this ramen, I’m super happy that it’s in my neighborhood. When you dine in, the guys (all the waiters have been men) are always quick and attentive. The food is consistent. And the vibe is warm. I’m glad we stuck around.

Amazing bao buns & ramen. My 10 year old daughter said they were the best noodles she’s ever had! Highly recommend.

Amazing food, great service, fun atmosphere, & good music.

This spot is my generally go to spot for getting something warm, filling and delicious. I couldn't be more pleased with the attentiveness and outstanding hospitality amongst the servers and chefs at Jin. A very special shout out to Monsur who took my order and gave such a great service. There no way I wouldn't keep coming back. Its the most reliable local spot near me. Jin you have a stand for life! <3 -------------------------------------------------- At my thousandths visit at Jin, want to give another shout out to Monsur, Ricky and the chefs today Hassen and Jefferson, for not only making exquisite, tasty, appetizers. But for always consistently providing the highest tier of hospitality. I'm consistently greeted at the door, can always find a spot to sit, and am always provided with complentary water even before I sit. I cannot emphasize how top notch Jin Ramen WH is, it will forever be a second home, with a extended family feel. If you ever get a chance, please spot by and give it a shot. I promise you will not be disappointed but never wanting to leave. PS. Giving our my own Michelin Star to my Jin Fam.

vibes were great servers were nice food not bad either pretty solid like maybe not japanese run but id go again

I’ve been to Jin Ramen twice and it is definitely my favorite ramen place I’ve been to in NYC so far. It’s right across from the H&R Block, so my husband and I have made it a tradition to go there to have dinner or celebrate after we finish our taxes. I love their karaage chicken and shishito peppers. Both are solid appetizers and are executed well. I’ve had the tonkatsu ramen before and this time I got the black garlic yuzu ramen with shishito peppers and karaage and the broth was peppery, spicy, and had a lot of umami. It was great! You cannot go wrong with tonkatsu ramen here -the broth is rich and flavorful. I’ve been to other ramen places in NYC where the broth is so disappointing in comparison- either not rich enough, not enough umami, or too sour. I prefer traditional Japanese ramen over the fusion styles that are rampant across NYC. If you’re looking for high-quality traditional Japanese ramen, Jin Ramen is the place to go!

The vegan signature ramen is so flavorful, it is incredible. According to the staff, it has a lot more flavor than meat based ramen options. Highly recommended. Attaching the menu as of Mar 2022.

This is a great place. A friend and I took a suggestion on a rainy afternoon. I ordered a lunch combo with ramen soup and tofu and rice on the side. The broth was perfect, noodles definitely made in house and the portions of the food was just right. The atmosphere was very welcoming and staff was very helpful in giving suggestions. Definitely going to eat here again and would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a cozy bowl of delicious ramen.

Me and my girls really enjoyed our ramen meal. We’ve had ramen all over the city and this was on the top. Loved it.

It's a pretty small restaurant, but the service and food are pretty amazing. I usually come here for the rice bowls or ramen on the weekends if I'm near by. It's also super charming. When you enter you're greeted by the door, and when you're ready to eat your food is usually beautifully arranged/presented.

been my go to spot for years. i usually go for their lunch specials before 3pm. their pork buns are addictive, their spicy tonkotsu is my comfort food and their service is always on point. my guy Jason is always welcoming and basically knows what i want before i order it. 10/10

It was a long walk from Columbia University to Jin Ramen but well worth the walk in the rain, the wait time and the service. My nephew loves this place. Nice finally to nephew's graduation from Columbia University. 2018

My favorite ramen place in the city. Being close to the place I climb helps :) The house made noodles are quality, and the ingredients and broth are well balanced and flavorful, not too aggressive with salt. The appetizers are also great, with an variety of choices.

I been coming here to this location since 2015. The ramen was amazing and for a while is was not. But seems like they are back with the quality and taste. Excellent!

Our favorite go to with our family. Monsur is the absolute best! Kind, friendly, attentive, remembers our family every single time and always remembers our orders! Our meals have always been wonderful and never disappoint!

Cozy (aren't they all, this one a little more :-)) Ramen joint that has established itself nicely in the area. Delicious choice of Ramen soups with some innovative variations. My favorite is the kimchi but they are all good. Quick and friendly service and nice atmosphere. Busy but I still never had to wait. Tight (intimate) space :-) but always a good experience.

This place is really in the cut, it's à nice restaurant, the ambiance is warm, there's Japanese music playing in the background, and the food SLAPS. They also have a happy hour for people who are into that. The Food isn't expensive, I think its Reasonably priced. After eating you could literally walk one block over to the pier to let your stomach settle from all that food you just ate and look at the views

We had vegan ramen bowl. it was so flavorful and delicious. We inhaled it. The place is cozy and clean; the staff is friendly and efficient. If you want a quick bite and crave Ramen, it’s your place.

the city pop music was great atmosphere for a saturday night. the chicharrón ramen is heavenly good, like seriously the best item on the menu. and server Monsur was so kind and professional

Unreal broth and noodle texture. Don’t get the volcano sauce, too spicy.

Omgg...so good! My friend and I were in the mood for some ramen, and we stumbled across this place, and it did not disappoint. I have never had a pork bun where the pork just melted in my mouth as soon as I took a bite, and the bun itself be so light and airy and soft like a pillow. We also had the gyoza and fried chicken, and none of it was greasy. The fried chicken was flaky and easy to chew. And the ramen was well seasoned. Overall I'm very pleased, it was very good.

We love Jin Ramen! Great food and services. We have been here for many times and Jason, our amazing server, has always been so welcoming and making our dining experience great. We have two young children and Jason was very understanding and considerate, providing extra napkins and what we needed. Will definitely come back.

We used to live in the neighborhood and came to this place a lot. Today we came with our kids. And they loved it The food was amazing as back then and Monsur our waiter was super helpful. Great place great food!

The lunch special was perfect! Takoyaki + ramen = winning combo! Glad we found this place on our visit to 🗽!

Jin Ramen back at it again with good vibes and delicious food. Monsur was my server and he was wonderful as always - I’ve known him for over three years and always he is warm and inviting. A wonderful establishment with wonderful staff!

Never judge a location by the authencitity of staff or the dimly lit decor, otherwise you'll walk right past the best ramen and Japanese food spot in West Harlem. Their offer of 1/2 price apps for dine in guests only, prompted me to walk in and give the location a try. This was my first time at a Jin Ramen and if all the franchise taste the same, I will gladly add this brand to my list of go to Japanese restaurants. Their menu selection is fairly standard and includes the classics like fried chicken bites (karaage) and pork bao. My decided to test the location by ordering my go to items which are the pork buns and the tonkatsu ramen. Both items utilize the pork belly and because its 1/2 priced, I threw in the chashu don to try it 3 ways. The chashu don is mildly flavored, open for guests to customize with more soy sauce or spice if preferred. The pork buns was a winner as I gobbled the two buns down wanting three more. A little messy to eat as it soaks up the house sauce, but definitely worth using your hands for the full experience. Finally the tonkatsu ramen which utilize a 6 hour broth had body without the heavy oil taste. It was a lighter take but conveys the message that it is tonkatsu soup. What really wowed me ontop of the pork bao was the consistency of the ramen. As they make it in house, these noodles picked up the flavor but doesnt bloat or become soggy as I enjoyed my meal. It was truly an eye opening experience and a reminder that you cannot judge a book by its cover, much like a restaurant by its chef. *bonus- this place does delivery which means delicious food is only a click away.

The food is so good, plus the workers are really nice Shoutout to Monsur our server 🔥🔥🔥 And Ricky ❤️‍🩹

Good place to grab foods and chill for a while. Good atmosphere, good service given by Monsur. Authentic Japanese foods that you could find in the neighborhood. Highly recommend it.

Always come to this location. Most of the time I have the same Server. Ricky is always in a great mood and knows how to speak to the people. Always makes me feel at home. He recommended a new bowl Ramen which was very delicious. I usually get the Tonkotsu ramen but this time I tried the NEW Chicken encebollado Ramen. Great taste and reminds me of a homemade dish my grandmother makes. This place never disappoints. Chicken encebollado ramen and Tonkotsu ramen.

It has taken a bit to get to this review, perhaps four months, however that means nothing compared to the quality of the meal, the places mastery of chefing, with their open kitchen, and smiles to go around for anyone who enters. I found their little customer card which was given to me by my server Monsur who was very attentive and pleasant. The chef, Hasan knows his craft well and it is simple to understand why the business moves along and is successful. A perfect chew of the noodles and flavorful bites down to drinking the broth as a last treat of the meal, shall be your way when you order their ramen dishes. The pork bun appetizer was also splendid, the balance of flavors was pinpoint. Anyone who enjoys a lovely bowl of ramen and wants a fair price without waiting in a massive line in manhattan ought to visit this little hideaway. Much love and success to JinRamen upper west in Harlem

Ricky was amazing! He was very kind with helping me decide on what dish to decide on. So fun watching the cooks in front of you. Overall clean, friendly, and hospitable restaurant. I’ll be back! P.s. black garlic oil is BOMB

this is one of our family's top neighborhood spots, a true gem uptown. great ramen that we keep coming back for due to food quality as well as our fantastic friend Monsur who goes above and beyond to accommodate us every time (2-3 babies and all). we will keep coming back and warmly recommend this spot to anyone looking for cozy ramen

I only gave the food to four star. This is probably my problem but they add a little bit too much broth and I don’t like that so that’s why I’m gonna give it a 4 star but other than that this is a really good authentic ramen shop. I loved it I would come back again.

Nicole Bray

Food was tasty and spicy! Monsur is the best-- awesome service! Will be coming back!

King

Monsur is always an amazing server. He consistently makes efforts towards ensuring my every visit to Jin Ramen is one I walk away from with glee. The chicken katsu curry don is my go to it’s always prepared with appropriate care and attention!

Maegan Wrubel

Really enjoyed our lunch here! We did the lunch special where you get a choice of ramen or rice bowl, an appetizer and drink for $25. The food was delicious and high quality especially for the price. Highly recommend!

William Sutton

Jin Ramen is by far my favorite Ramen shop. Our server Monsur was attentive and very polite. I live in Orange County but anytime my daughter and I come into the City we stop. We absolutely love Jin Ramen 125th.

Omar Siller

Delicious food and great service by Monsur. If they have the chicharron ramen, you should try that gem.

Karen Contreras

Can’t even explain how amazing my experience was here, the service was incredible,our server was always checking on us and willing to give recommendations. They have two different areas for dining,I thought it was only one area for dining,but they have more tables on the other side,portions were pretty good,they also have a lunch special menu,definitely coming back here!

Nicholas DiGiorgi

Monsur was a great server for us tonight! I got the Miso Ramen and the Nanban Chicken Appetizer, both were delicious!! My family got ramen and a ton of the appetizers which all tasted fresh and distinguished from other places I have been to. Great food all around! Thank you!

JD Chery

Our server Monsur was amazing. Made sure we were good and went above and beyond. Monsur you're great!

Jared Canizales

Delicious spot, especially convenient for folks in West or Central Harlem, and right by the 125th St 1 train stop. I had the spicy tonkotsu ramen and a side of karaage, both of which were excellent. The ramen serving was generous in a rather large bowl. The chashu slices were very tender and a good thickness, and had a delicious sweet glaze on them. The broth was rich and the meal was filling without needing to order more noodles. Not cheap but not too expensive either, especially considering the high quality. I’m definitely planning to go back and try some other options. My food was served quickly after ordering, but I felt like the service after that wasn’t particularly attentive - no waiter checked in after I got my food, and I had to wait around for a while after finishing before I could get the check. Not a huge deal though, and the servers were still polite and the food was excellent.

Anja Pavicevic

I first visited this restaurant 10 years ago, and the taste and aroma of their dumplings stayed with me ever since. After a decade, I just had to come back — and I was absolutely blown away! The restaurant has grown and improved so much, yet it still keeps that authentic charm and quality I remembered. The food is simply perfect, and the service is outstanding. Highly recommended for anyone looking for an unforgettable dining experience!

Rachel Dulski

The food was incredible! I had the eggplant and ginger soba noodles. It was amazing! Our server Carlos was so funny and nice. Will definitely come back again :)

Norberto Mercedes

An amazing spot in the city, it’s cozy and the service is great. I’ll visit again when I’m back from Dominican Republic. Carlos was really nice and welcoming. Kudos to the team who didn’t make us wait for the food that was incredibly good.

Ruqayyah Abdul-Karim

Delicious authentic ramen experience! Juan was a great host and was able to walk us through the menu and go over all of the many options. Will definitely be back!

Service and food is great. The Chef Jefferson in the red hat is always very friendly and awesome in cooking. Monsur is very good in customer service and quick to server. Must come if you want to travel to Japan just for authentic ramen

Loved both ramen and fried rice. Fried rice seemed to be based on butter + soy sauce, and that’s my fav flavor base for fried rice so can’t complain at all. Ramen had very good broth that was flavorful and thick enough, but not too salty and not too thick. I really liked its balance. Noodle was slightly softer than my preference and chasu was bit drier than I hoped, but the broth was really spot on for me and I would love to get the ramen here again if next chance.

Tonci Antunovic

Absolutely the best ramen in Uptown Manhattan, and undoubtedly one of the top 3 ramen spots in NYC! I've visited Jin Ramen several times, and it's always a fantastic experience. Today, I had the vegetarian ramen with miso stock, and it was absolutely delicious—fresh, perfectly seasoned, and an excellent choice for a New Year's Eve lunch. Jason was an amazing host—super sweet, helpful, and an all-around great server. Highly recommend!

Mansi Arora

This is a very popular spot among students at Columbia so we decided to go. I had already heard a lot about this place, and was not disappointed. We were able to get a table easily. They had a huge menu with a lot of options, including vegetarian options. We really enjoyed the chicken gyoza, the chicken bao buns and the chicken ramen. The servers were very sweet and it’s reasonably priced. Would recommend coming here for sure.

This place was really good. The appetizers were a 8/10 but the ramen bowls were a 10/10 so good very flavorful and the customer service was also good

The Choyu Ramen had a thin broth and the bamboo shoots could use some further tenderizing. However it was a nice bowl to have for lunch on a cold day.

Great place for ramen. I ordered spicey ramen with chicken sausage, bean sprouts, and bok choy. I also love the shishito peppers here. Never enough vegetables in these places. 3 bok choy in your ramen is all you get. And half an egg.

Delicious ramen restaurant I've been meaning to try for awhile and it certainly lived up to its rave reviews Ordered edamame and kara-age to start which were both tasty. The kara-age was moist chicken thigh nuggets and the spicy mayo dipping sauce was such a good pairing. Normal and karu Tonkotsu ramen were both tasty. The pork was okay but the broth was flavorful. Served with a softboiled egg, bamboo shoots, seaweed, and noodles. Would definitely come back here again when in the mood for noodle soup

Ramen is my ultimate comfort food whatever time of the year, whatever weather or climate I may be in I need Ramen. I stopped by Jin Ramen as a newish New Yorker as my first ramen experience it was decent. I went for lunch which they do specials for some dishes from 11:30am to 3:30pm (Spicy Tonkotsu was $16 instead of $19) the spot is small and clean. Service was quick and efficient. I ordered a Sapporo Black, Spicy Tonkotsu Pork Ramen, and a side of Chicken Karaage. The Ramen was good just not spicy at all I even proceeded to get the Volcano side to spice things up... Still nothing maybe my spice tolerance is beyond restaurant spicy now. Chicken Karaage was good. I would definitely recommend. I will definitely be back!

Tremendous variety of food. It came out pretty quickly with good quality. Our waiter Jason was very courteous, knowledgeable and familiar with the menu.

Perfect place for a quick bite before or after class! I ordered the classic shoyu ramen and my friend got the spicy ramen. The portion size is pretty big, but some parts of my noodles were clumped together. It was slightly hard to eat but the flavor was great! The service is good as well.

We ordered Shoyu Ramen and Kuro Shio. Both ramen too salty. I recommend karage Soba and Tuna Yukke Don Great portion and tasty. The pork bun is good. I don’t think it’s worth going again but there aren’t many choices around Columbia university.

I had basic tonkatsu ramen. My husband had a vegetarian curry dry noodle. I like mine but he doesn't like his food very much. The place was a little cold with a/c on the day we were there. The service was so-so.

It's a solid 3.5 stars, it's one of the better ramen place that has solid basic shio, shoyu, miso, and tonkatsu options. I never tried their other gimmicky fusion ramen so can't comment on them. This place is your no frills neighborhood ramen shop, you're not paying for presentation and they don't care for it. Case in point, my ramen came with a beautiful egg hidden under a giant wooden spoon and I didn't even notice it was there... Same can be said of the service, the place was half full but we had to wait for a loooong time for the staff to come take our orders, didn't even ask us for drinks. But again, if you expect the level of service similar to a food stall next to a train station in Tokyo, then you should be a happy customer.

I’ve been coming to Jin Ramen - West Harlem for a long time now, even traveling from New Jersey because we genuinely love the food and the atmosphere. The ramen is consistently great, and the vibe is always cozy and enjoyable. That said, service can be hit or miss. During our most recent visit, our assigned server, Monsoul, wasn’t very welcoming. He didn’t say much, took a while to come over after seating us, and seated us directly in front of the door where all the cold air comes in. When I politely asked to move to an open seat that wasn’t occupied, he said no. On a positive note, another server, Ricky, completely turned the experience around. He was super friendly, attentive, and offered us the seat we originally asked for without hesitation. He honestly did most of the service for us, even though he wasn’t our main server and had his own section (which Monsoul mentioned when I asked if anyone else could help). Ricky truly went out of his way to make sure we were taken care of, and it made a big difference. Food-wise, everything was excellent as always. My favorite is the konkuni ramen (hope I spelled that right), and the atmosphere remains one of the reasons we keep coming back. Overall, amazing food and ambiance — service just depends on who you get. Big shoutout to Ricky for exceptional service.

We ordered delivery and found the food to be fine, but not memorable enough to return. The tonkotsu and spicy tonkotsu had decent richness, but both leaned overly salty, which overpowered the broth and made the bowls feel heavy by the end. The kimchi pork don was similarly salt-forward, with flavors that didn’t quite balance out. The pork buns (ordered via a B1G1 promo) were probably the highlight—soft buns and tender pork—but even those didn’t fully offset the overall saltiness of the meal. Nothing was bad, and everything arrived intact, but for us this isn’t a place we’d go out of our way to order from again. If you like very bold, salty ramen, Jin Ramen might work for you; if you prefer more nuanced, balanced broths, this may not be your spot.

Both of us were unfamiliar with West Harlem and we ended up coming to Jin Ramen, a ramen spot recommended in Michelin Bib Gourmand. They have an extensive menu with all types of ramen and brothless ramen. Overall it’s a good ramen spot and worth a try if you’re near one of their three locations in the city. The kuro tonkotsu features a rich broth packed with black garlic oil aroma. The grilled cha shu was smoky and perfectly glazed with sweet sauce. The soft-boiled egg was cooked to perfection. They used thin noodles which held the soup pretty well. My friend ordered their signature spicy tonkotsu. The broth was quite spicy in Japanese food standard, but not overbearing. A nice option if you want to spice up your ramen. You can get a complimentary yuzu drink if you order an entree. It was so refreshing for this weather and cleansed our palate after the meal.

Solid. Salmon app stayed crispy during delivery. Ramen also delivered well. The beef rice bowl was the star. Superior in taste and great value. Fed two of us. Overall, I’d order again.

I had a mixed experience. The first time I went it was amazing. The food came quickly even though it was crowded and it was amazing. I regretted not switching my noodle type to curly because it looked more like traditional ramen where as my flat noodles seemed more like flattened udon. But the black garlic oil was really good, and even the salad exceeded my expectations. The second time I went though, it took a long time for my curry udon to come, and when it did, it was only average. The katsu on it was stringy and hard to chew in places. The Karaage was super good though. I'm still going to go again though. I think the experience you have at this restaurant depends a lot on what you order and whose working at the time.

The pork bun appetizer was so good that i ate them both before i remembered i wanted to take a picture. I love the ramen here its always delicious. Great broth very tasty ramen. However, i have continued to not love the service. They simply are not that attentive but if you are not super fragile the food makes up for any indiscretions with service. Will definitely be going back to try their flight of sakis.

Our server, Ricky, was wonderful! Super attentive, and fast service. Ramen itself was decent. Noodles cooked well. Taste was ok. Not much chicken flavor in my broth. But overall, satisfactory

The ramen was fairly mediocore in every way. The broth was lacking in umami. I ordered the kuro tonkatsu and was expecting the punch of black garlic and didn't get a punch of anything. The noodles were not very springy and the chasiu was hairline thin. I also question their choice in adding these deep fried green peppers as the vegetables of the dish. With all the great ramen in NYC I wouldn't recommend going out of your way to come here. But a mediocre bowl of ramen is ramen nonetheless.

3.5 stars. It’s pretty good, definitely among the best options in Harlem. I had the volcano shio ramen with the volcano paste on the side to spice it myself. GREAT CHOICE. It’s delicious but super spicy. Not for the spice sensitive lol. My partner had the curry ramen which was five stars. If I ordered that my review may have been higher. The cocktails taste like they come out of a can. Crazy sweet! The decor is great, lots of fun posters. I’ve been twice now, it’s an easy walkable option.

Friendly and knowledgeable staff that answered all of our questions and provided recommendations. The table primarily got tonkotsu ramen and the broth was extremely salty which made the dinner not so great

11.10.17 - It's clearly a popular spot among [I assume], among Columbia University's Undergrad and Grad students and the locals. I think the food is generally good, but it's not worthy of traveling out of the way for ramen. While waiting to be seated I was watched the full video twice and if everything is true, it's a hardcore operation in preparing the soba noodles and the broth; essentially it's a 24 hours operation. Nevertheless, is the food so good that it demands a strong following from across the City? I can't argue against it's nutritional value as the video claims of Soba Noodles, but aside from that, is the food that good compared to other touted ramen shops like Jun-Men, Mu, Ippudo, Nakamura, Ivan Ramen, Totto, Ganso, Rai Rai Ken, Ramen Lab, etc (we've repeatedly been to many more), no it's as good. If I cared solely on nutrition then I'd want Jin Ramen next door to me, but I'm capable of eating extremely clean and ramen isn't exactly the cleanest food considering the required ingredient of meat. Bottom line is, Jin is a good ramen shop, and just like Japan where there are thousands of ramen shops with their unique followings, if that's your preference then you're good to go. However, if you want really good ramen that's distinguished from each other, then find the one from the list above. Service was fast and friendly. The food came hot and well made. The cost per bowl was generally in line with other ramen shops.

The ambience is cosy and welcoming but I wasn't impressed with the Volcano Shio Ramen I ordered. The texture of the noodles was too soft and had the consistency of overdone instant noodles. Perhaps I ordered the wrong menu item as the tonkotsu seemed a more full-bodied broth with better noodles.

I walked into Jin Ramen on a whim--I had seen some people going inside for lunch and I was craving some noodles. I had heard Jin Ramen's menu was created in partnership with a Japanese noodle consu…

Since my friends weren't with me he told me I had to wait to be seated. Which is understandable. 2) as I walked to the waiting area I ask if I can have a drink well I wait. He responded Yes! But than brush me off and pointed to seat as if I was a (Dog)! ! And on top of that they never gave me my drink! As I waited. So I want down the street instead to grab a drink 3) As I return with my sister we asked if we could seat further down. The waiter responded if you seat down there you'll be forgotten and won't get service. As a server myself I couldn't fathom every telling a guest they would be forgotten! 4)As my uncle walk in to seat with us. They harassed him as if he was a hobo walking off the street to use the bathroom! 5) Are server was actually quite attentive and friendly, but the hosts/ server that treated me like a dog and treatment Uncle like he wasn't welcome was horrible!

I was a bit disappointed with the food here. My friend and I both got tonkotsu, and it made us pretty ill a couple hours later. It was also quite pricey for somewhat subpar ramen. The 2 stars is mainly for the food poisoning— my friend and I both threw up the next morning, so I am assuming the ramen broth had gone bad.

Service was quick and efficient, they have lunch prices which helps the wallet a little bit. I got the pork baos and they were way over sauced, the sweet sauce overwhelmed the rest of the flavors. As for the tonkotsu ramen, it was very oily and not very flavorful. The noodles were too Al dente for my liking, I like it to be a bit softer.

Came here with my friend for our annual ramen date-- a little tradition we unintentionally started a few years ago. The space is small but can has many small tables and the ambiance is cool with dim lighting and different photos and even action figure pieces on the walls. We got the veggie gyozas and karaage to start which left a lot to be desired, to put it simply the food lacked flavor :/ as our time there went on and we waited for our main dish, ramen, our waiter barely attended us and we had to flag him down several times to ask for more water, napkins and drinks. Even when my friend returned her drink bc she didn't like it after just one sip, the waiter rolled his eyes and gave us such a deep sigh, we found the interaction very rude as if we had insulted him directly. Finally our ramen came out. I got the shrimp ramen and my friend the chicharron ramen. It was much more flavorful than the appetizers but nothing very special. The consensus: we've had better elsewhere. I wouldn't highly recommend this place considering the service was significantly lacking and the food was mid at best....

First everything was fresh but the flavors are off. Ordered the Mabo Tofu Dry Ramen, a side of Wakame plus a drink through Seamless but sadly it’s a no for me and my fiancé. The dry ramen was so extremely sweet that I stopped eating it after 2 bites. And I could be wrong but I think the Mabo Tofu is supposed to be a rendition of the Mapo Tofu (Sichuan). Either way it was not edible and the Wakame was also overly sweet (usually there’s just a pinch of sugar in it, if at all). Authentic Japanese cuisine is rarely so overly sweet/salty but this just didn’t seem authentic at all. If they’re heavy handed when using sugar, I can only imagine how salty the other dishes must be.

Horrible experience all their options is spicy “Ramen”They have nothing that is non spicy so if you have a low spicy tolerant, I don’t recommend this place. The Ramen was disgustingly bland . No taste whatsoever really bad experience unfortunately the only thing that was really tasty and good was the dumplings, but you cannot go wrong with dumping

Literally some of the worst ramen I've ever had in my life. The pork bone broth is super salty, has zero taste of pork (pork broth should be milky white, not a clearish brown like miso; I can guarantee they're not making their broth from scratch). The noodles are also super low quality and taste like instant. They also have few other ingredients or vegetables in it and they're really low quality. It had bamboo shoots that were uncooked, cold, and hard (clearly refrigerated and thrown in just before serving). The only positive is the chashu is pretty good. Would never come back given it was $18. I genuinely wonder if people giving it 5 stars have actually had good ramen before.
