Despite it being a chain, it is extremely deserving of praise for its attention to detail, taste, portions and especially the service at this location. I haven’t found a ramen place that can top this one yet for all around flavour and experience. This is a must visit place for any ramen lover!

We ordered the cha cha cha, takoyaki, and brussels sprouts tempura. <br/ <br/ The food came really quickly. <br/ Brussels sprouts: nice and crispy. The gyoza sauce helped take away the bitterness of the brussels sprouts. <br/ <br/ Takoyaki: quite possibly the best takoyai I've ever had. They had 2-3 chunks of octopus in there, not one tiny piece and mouthful of dough. The flavours were also quite tasty. <br/ <br/ Cha cha cha ramen: the egg was perfectly cooked and the yolk was runny. The ramen was good but I prefer a lighter bowl. It was too heavy for a hot summer day because the noodles were thick and it was made with a thicker broth as well. The pork belly was super tender and fell apart between my chopsticks. Yum! <br/ <br/ I found Jinya good but $15 for a bowl of ramen that failed to blow me away is a bit steep.

It consisted of thin ramen noodles in a chicken broth topped with chicken chashu, spinach, spicy bean sprouts, tokyo negi, and green onion. Normally, I prefer the pork ramen at ramen bars, but the Spicy Chicken Ramen caught my eye this time. You can select the spice level from Mild, Spicy, or Hot. I opted for Mild this time, but in hindsight, I wish I had tried the Spicy level.

The broth of the ramen taste outrageously delicious on its own.Addition of Chilli oil and hot sauce only elevated it to the next level.The noodles soaked the broth pretty well.The tofu and the other veggies were good.<br/ <br/ Definitely an awesome place that will be my goto for Ramen in the coming days.The service was wonderful even when they were full.Kudos to the staff.
