JINYA Ramen Bar

I spontaneously decided to stop at the Murray location of JINYA Ramen Bar for dinner tonight. I have eaten there twice before, and both times, I ordered the spicy creamy vegan ramen which was delicious. While I am not 100% committed to a vegetarian or vegan lifestyle, I choose meatless meals as often as I can to promote overall good health. I tried a different vegan option tonight and ordered the quinoa salad with a side of tofu as well as a side of caramelized cauliflower. I enjoyed the entire meal, but the caramelized cauliflower was a definite stand-out! It came garnished with toasted pine nuts, mint leaves, and lime sauce. The zing of citrus from the lime sauce packed a distinctive, delightful punch. I highly recommend trying this small plate!

You can find the Murray location of JINYA Ramen Bar at 5905 S. State Street. It is open Monday through Saturday from 11:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. and Sunday from 11:30 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. Beer, wine, and spirits are available as well as patio dining in warm weather. The indoor dining space is small and fills up quickly, so err on the side of arriving slightly earlier than peak meal times. Even when busy, the staff is prompt, courteous, and efficient. I have never had to wait. Click here to read the menu and additional information.
