About
JINYA Ramen Bar's W Broadway location at 1518 brings the same Japanese-founded ramen culture and animated dining experience to the Granville/Broadway corridor. Founded by Tomo Takahashi in Japan in 2010, JINYA's premium broths—slow-simmered tonkotsu, rich chicken paitan, and plant-based options—are made to Japanese standards and served with a broad menu of izakaya small plates and cocktails. The happily chaotic energy, including the staff's shouted welcome greetings, creates an experience true to Japan's ramen bar culture.
