JINYA Ramen Bar - Tulsa

The best thing about this experience was our waiter Thad. He was swamped. But he had the most friendly and upbeat attitude I have come across in a long time. We made reservations for 645 pm. We arrived 30 mins early and was told we had to wait which was fine and I could understand why. We were a party of 4 and the place was busy. No place to sit, we had to stand by the door the whole time. Our reservation time came up. They were cleaning off a 4 seat and we thought we were going to get seated. Just then a party of 3 came in. The guy made a big fuss and the next thing you know, his party is getting seated at the table we thought was going to ours. We had to wait another 35 minutes for a table to open. We had the first res slot on their list and we were the last ones they crossed off. We didn't get an apology or even an acknowledgement of our over an hour wait. I guess it was because we didn't complain once or make a fuss. The noise level was very high, no way to carry on an intimate conversation. If it wasn't for my wife wanting to try the place I would have left when they didn't seat us at 645. I am sure they wouldn't have given us a second thought if we did. We held out hope the meal would be worth the wait. What a disappointment, my Ramen tasted like a package of 10 for a dollar, the kind you get at a discount market. I ask for hot tea, I got a cup of hot water with a tea bag. I could have went to a grocery store purchased a bag of Ramen and got a free tea bag from the hotel, and had the same meal for less than 50 cents. The pork stickers were terrible, burnt on the outside and cool on the inside and greasier then the underside of worn out Landrover. Two hot teas, two sodas, house salad, Garlic rice, 2 Ramen bowls and the pork stickers, ticket was north of $120. I was livid, but my wife ushered me out of there before I made a scene. I will never set foot in one of these JINYA Ramen Bars again.

We arrived at 11am on the dot and were seated right away. Alexis was the best waitress i could ask for! She was attentive and knowledgeable. She was also kind and friendly. She stayed up on drinks and checked on us frequently. The food here was amazing. The seasoned egg was perfect and Ramen was delicious! I highly recommend the chicken wontons, bun and mochi I Will be back!

Absolutely amazing experience at JINYA! 🇯🇵🍜 The Tonkotsu ramen tasted so good—it truly brought me back to my days in Japan. Rich, flavorful broth, perfectly cooked noodles, and delicious toppings. The appetizer was also amazing and full of flavor. On top of that, the customer service was outstanding—very welcoming and attentive, just like the authentic hospitality you experience at Japanese restaurants in Japan. If you’re looking for great ramen in town, I highly recommend JINYA. In my opinion, it’s one of the best in town! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Amanda was an amazing server! From the moment we sat down, she was attentive, friendly, and made us feel really welcomed. She knew the menu well and gave great recommendations, which made our experience even better. Our drinks and food came out quickly, and she checked on us just the right amount without being overbearing. You can tell she genuinely cares about her customers and takes pride in her work. Overall, she made our visit to JINYA such a great experience! We will definitely be back and hope to have her again!
