Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a JINYA Ramen Bar in Brookings?+

What is JINYA Ramen Bar known for?+

Long-simmered broths — the pork and chicken stocks cook for over 20 hours — and a customizable format where you choose a base bowl and add toppings like chashu, seasoned egg, spicy bean sprouts, or crispy garlic. The Tonkotsu Black, finished with garlic oil, is their signature.

Does JINYA have vegan ramen?+

Yes. JINYA offers a vegan ramen built on a plant-based broth with vegan noodles, and most locations can adapt several bowls. It is one of the more reliable vegan ramen options at a national chain.

Is JINYA better than independent ramen shops in Brookings?+

Does JINYA offer takeout and delivery?+

Most locations do both. Ramen travels best when the broth and noodles are packed separately, so ask for that when ordering to go and assemble the bowl at home.
