Edmonton | Jinya Ramen - The Hottest Ramen Spot in Town!

📍 Jinya Ramen (Jasper Ave location) Finally tried this wildly popular ramen joint! Despite a 35-minute wait (longer than the quoted 15 minutes), the flavors made it worthwhile! 🔥 🍢 Starters & Sides 🩵 Takoyaki (Octopus Balls) 🌟🌟🌟 Crispy outside, fluffy inside with generous sauce Could use more octopus chunks (mostly batter) 🩵 Spicy Tuna Crispy Rice 🌟🌟 Mildly disappointing - more like tuna paste than chunks Lacked the promised crispiness 🍛 Value Combos (+$8) 🩵 Chashu Rice 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Japanese-style braised pork rice bowl perfection! Melt-in-your-mouth fatty pork with savory glaze 🩵 Curry Rice 🌟🌟🌟 Decent flavor but sparse ingredients Great budget option at just a few dollars 🍜 The Main Event: Ramen 🩵 Tonkotsu Black 🌟🌟🌟✨ Classic thin noodles in light pork broth Less heavy than traditional tonkotsu 🩵 Cha Cha Cha 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 (MUST-TRY!) Game-changing fish+pork broth with garlic punch Thick, springy noodles hold the rich broth perfectly Pro: Amazing flavor | Con: Serious garlic breath after! 💡 Pro Tips: • Portions are HUGE - don't overorder! • Cha Cha Cha lives up to the hype (but pack mints) • Weekends get crazy busy - try off-peak hours #EdmontonRamen #FoodieFind #JapaneseComfortFood
