🍜 Kickin' Karaage at Jinya Ramen Bar
Orlando-made tastebuds will roar with flavor over the Asian-fusion menu items at Jinya. The ramen bar is tucked in Thorton Park, priding themselves in their attention to the relationship between noodles and broth in each bowl. The environment holds a clean, izakaya ambiance with an elevated bar setting and industrial interior elements. The Japanese gastrobar vibe is dim and cozy, while maintaining a casual feel.
Their menu items hold traditionally authentic toppings, including ajitsuke tamago and bamboo shoots. However, some menu options hold fusion elements to cater to the local Orlando community, paying attention to vegetarian and vegan diets. Take a site of our bites!
🌮 Appetizer
The miniature tacos feature salmon poke tossed with chopped onion. The wonton shells provide a crunch, topped with cilantro. The Vegan bun utilizes Beyond Meat® for a pea protein base with guac, atop a bed of sliced cucumber. The drizzle of vegan mayonnaise adds a creaminess to the texture.
🍗 Ramen
Jinya’s new Karaage Chicken Ramen features Japanese fried chicken that holds crispy portions while maintaining a juicy bite with broth. The chili sauce adds a savory flavor, amplified by the seasoned bamboo shoots. It’s served alongside a variety of textured bites, including nori, kikurage, green onion, and fried onion. The ajitsuke tamago tops the bowl, packed with umami flavor.
🍄 Vegan Ramen
The vegetable broth in the Spicy Creamy Vegan Ramen is mild in heat, while delivering a slightly savory taste alongside the garlic and chili oil. The thick noodles are topped with tofu, onion, green onion, and sesame seeds. The kikurage adds a slightly slimy bite of umami, contrasted by the crunch of the crispy onion and garlic chips.
🍮 Panna Cotta
This simple dessert features an in-house panna cotta topped with vanilla ice cream. diced graham crackers add a crunch of texture while the caramel cream drizzle adds additional sweetness.
Through these unprecedented times, the restaurant is conducting temperature checks before being seated, with team members wearing masks. Both indoor and outdoor seating is available for guests who are looking to socially distance from other parties. For those needing a socially-distanced ramen fix, the Karaage Chicken Ramen will kick that craving to the curb!
