JINYA Ramen Bar - Santa Monica

First, the ramen itself- the broth was creamy, the noodles were excellent, the meat was tender and delicious, and the egg was cooked to perfection. They offer a variety of vegan, vegetarian and gluten free options for noodles, broth and toppings, while keeping their basic dish pretty authentic. Everything else from the laid back atmosphere to the excellent service is icing on the cake!

It is very delicious! It's not a cheap restaurant, but it's one of the best ramen restaurants I've ever had in Korea or Japan. The gyoza we ordered on the side was really delicious, and there was a wide range of choices, including vegan options and gluten-free noodles. I had the Spicy Tonkotsu Ramen at the spiciest level, and I was satisfied because it was spicy and spicy even by Korean standards. I don't think I would recommend going higher than level 2 if it's spicy. The staff service was very friendly from start to finish, so I felt really good!
