Jinya Ramen Bar - Calgary

I 've been there twice with different colleagues. Ramen is very tasty with full of flavors and well prepared toppings, so as all appetizers.Why 4 stars? Music. Too loud that makes us need to yell at each other at the table which makes the space more noisy. All of us had hard time catching what the helper was saying to us or talking to each other. Both time, after leaving the restaurant, we were saying 'food is good... but... not again. ' Please turn down the music.

Ramen is very tasty, would recommend the food, service not so much. When ordering for pick up, staff on phone are very hard to understand (poor english). You can hear that it is extremely loud in the background and it makes it difficult for customer to place an order. I had to repeat myself multiple times and staff member was rude when I had to  correct my order if repeated back to me incorrect. Seems to me that customer service is a big/ very common concern in most all of the reviews not so much the food.

Came here on Sunday for lunch at 1230p. Started to get busy. We got a table for 4 right away but a few minutes later there was a line. This is an American chain. Seems very hip with lots of people but also families. They were very busy which is a good sign.<br/ <br/ I had the Tonkotsu Spicy with thick noodles. Broth was perfect and the noodles were great texture. No egg though which I didn't realize. Kids had Tonkotsu Black with thin noodles. They seemed to enjoy it. Came with a full egg. They also ordered extra noodles this time thick. At other Ramen places normal noodles seems to be between this ones thin and thick. Wife had the Sprouting Up Tonkotsu with thick noodles. Lots of sprouts she doesn't like Brussel sprouts. Good flavour. She thought the noodles were too thick and the thin ones too thin.<br/ <br/ Servers were friendly and quick and came by to check on us once in awhile. They serve tap water here so I went with a Sapporo which came quickly. Food was quick too. Parking is street parking which can get filled up on Sunday.<br/

Spicy chicken ramen was delicious! Thr service was quick and very friendly. It's a bit small so you might have to wait but it's quickl. The Bao was very good too it was a nice size

Highly recommend for people who love ramen and also for people who don’t. Very polite staff. .... I’m visiting again soon. ........... keep it up
