Jinya, Downtown

What people say, in short
Jinya draws repeated ramen recommendations, including several for its downtown location. Vegan and vegetarian options receive specific praise. Among comments that do not name a branch, one diner prefers its thicker noodles and another likes the bowl size. Not everyone agrees on the ramen: one commenter prefers a rival's taste and another finds Jinya unimpressive. A downtown visitor flags difficult parking.
