JINYA Ramen Bar - Overland Park

My good friend and I (Tams & Ambs) celebrated our February birthdays together, we really enjoyed some sake and brussels sprout appetizer, we both had noodle soups that were incredible and we were able to experience a strawberry and chocolate mochi, and some Matcha tiramisu, which were both wonderful! We had a very nice time and enjoyed all the delicious flavors and can’t wait to come back. Our server, Isabella was so dear, she was an absolute sweetheart and had wonderful recommendations. And Frank, the manager was so kind, coming over and asking how we were and making sure that we were pleased. Such quality service. We highly recommend!!!!

Today was my husbands and I’s first time coming to this establishment and I was very impressed with our waiter Justin! He took time to break down the ENTIRE menu, gave his honest opinions and recommendations. My husband ordered the Brunch SPECIAL, just for us to try different dishes. I ordered the JINYA Tonkotsu Black, the pork was sweet and super delicious. My husband ordered Birria Ramen - and the best way I can explain that dish is if you enjoy Mexican food lol. For the Sake—-GEISHA'S DELIGHT is if you like your drinks to be sweet.

If you’re looking for authentic Japanese ramen, this place is 100% recommended for the food alone. The broth was incredibly flavorful, rich, and tasted very authentic — you can tell they really know how to build depth in their ramen. Every bite was satisfying and comforting. The restaurant itself has a very modern, clean atmosphere, which we really liked. The only hiccup during our visit was the service. We were seated for about 20 minutes and no one stopped by — not even for water. I eventually had to get up and ask who our server was. It also took quite a while for the food to come out. It seemed like they were prioritizing a large number of takeout orders over dine-in guests. Overall, the ramen absolutely delivered, but I do wish the dine-in service experience could match the quality of the food. If they improve that part, this place would easily be a 5-star spot!

Atmosphere is fun and inviting. It's a very comfortable space. Our server was fine. She left us for long periods of time. For instance: after my friend finished her food we sat for over 22 minutes before she came back. The food: #1 It's Tuesday during restaurant week. They were out of the salad and only had a mixed greens option. They were also our if the dessert options so we could choose between chocolate or vanilla ice cream. I ordered the Spicy tuna tacos which were good but could use a splash of soy sauce. There was no soy sauce available. Next choose was the Jinya Tonkotsu black ramen. This is meant to be a dark flavor with black fungus, garlic, onion, and nori. The only flavor at all was burnt. I tried to add the table seasoning but nothing worked because the burnt flavor was so strong. When someone walked by my friend said "something must have burned" before I mentioned the flavor. I will say the egg was FIRE! I'd buy a dozen of those for the week just to snack on. They were delicious! It was perfectly cooked.... soft but still gummy. Then we waited and waited. We actually received our bill/ check before the ice cream came out. Overall, not a place I would recommend as there are several decent Ramen places in KC.

We went for restaurant week so was fortunate to have a great deal on the lunch we had. All dishes were extremely tasteful and the service was amazing despite it being very busy! Definitely a place I would try again! (I didn’t care for the salad, but the pork pot stickers were amazing, then spicy ramen and matcha tiramisu) we luckily didn’t have to wait bc we sat at the bar but make a reservation during restaurant week if you want to go!

This place was really good. We went during restaurant week, and they were slammed but still gave excellent service. All the food was great, and I don't know what dressing they put on their house salad but I need more of it ( just says Japanese dressing and it's not like the ginger sauce you get at hibachi). We definitely will be back again!

My son loves ramen so when we are out and about we try new ramen shops. Had pork gyōza they came out perfect. I had the tonkotsu black. Apparently I had more room than I thought was able to eat the whole bowl. The smoked old fashioned was a lunch time treat. If I am in the area again will stop by.
