What people say, in short
Most people who give an opinion recommend Jin Ramen, and a few call it good value. One says they love the spicy tonkotsu, another praises the noodles, and one praises the vegan coconut curry. Jin Ramen has more than one shop in Manhattan, including the Upper West Side one (this listing) and one in Harlem; a few comments name the Upper West Side, and one less impressed visitor went to a different branch. A few were disappointed: one says it declined after opening, one was let down after many recommendations, and one wished they had gone elsewhere.
