New Nosh: Jinya Ramen Bar

We are spoiled for choice as of late when it comes to tasty ramen spots in the city, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t room for one more (always).

So say hello to Jinya Ramen Bar, the trendy Los Angeles-based shop that’s bringing serious flavour to Calgary. Jinya specializes in a flavourful broth called Tonkotsu and is known for making its handmade noodles fresh daily. The signature dish is the Jinya Tonkotsu Black, made with pork broth and served with pork chashu, kikurage, green onion, nori dried seaweed, seasoned egg, garlic chips, garlic oil, fried onion, spicy sauce and thin noodles. Non-ramen items include mini tacos (salmon poke or pork and kimchee), salads and rice bowls and curry.

What more could we ask for? —Sara Samson
