Do try the matcha affogato. Waiter will come by your table, make matcha green tea (like a quasi tea ceremony) and pour it on top of vanilla ice cream to make the ultimate green tea ice cream.
Order the Spicy Miso Tonkotsu Ramen and ask them to hold the spicy paste - I like spice as much as the next guy but in this case it totally masks the BEST broth in NYC. (& I'm a ramen fanatic)
Obviously get a Tonkotsu Black. But if you come with enough friends and appetite make sure you also get the chashu pork buns and perfectly crisped gyoza.
The combos are well worth it. Tonkatsu Black (with thick ramen) & a hearty side of fried chicken = stuffed & satisfied!! Nice to see this quality back in town (without the crazy wait time).
Great customer service is under appreciated. Tonight, I left my purse at Jinya Ramen and the hostess + waiter chased me down 2 blocks to return it. Thank you! Oh, and the Tonkotsu Black is delicious.
Finally found ramen as tasty as what we had in LA! Wonton and Tonkatsu Spicy are both great. New place, but I'm sure there will be a waiting list soon. :)
Get the match affogato. I'm not even a dessert person, but the ice cream, mochi, and strawberries with fresh green tea they grate before you is *amazing*
Jinya Ramen Bar serves "Tonkotsu Ramen", rich and strong smelling noodle. Tonkotsu uses pork broth which is pumped up with industrial quantities of dashi and dried fish, a broth that seemed to be trying to establish the record for the most umami per milligram.
