JINYA Ramen Bar is a Japanese restaurant at 1710 Wynkoop St, across from Denver’s Union Station. Its menu ranges from tonkotsu bowls to spicy ramen, with vegan choices alongside buns, rice dishes and desserts. Broths simmer for up to 20 hours, giving the bowls depth; try the JINYA Tonkotsu Black or Tan Tan Men, and choose a heat level that suits you. The dim interior and cocktails make it a comfortable dinner stop, though the room can get loud when busy.
Ramen styles and broth
The menu covers a broad range of ramen, with several tonkotsu recipes, wonton bowls and vegan options. The stocks simmer for up to 20 hours, then pair with noodles and toppings such as vegetables and seasoned meats.
For a richer bowl, consider JINYA Tonkotsu Black. Tan Tan Men and Spicy Chicken Ramen bring more heat, and you can choose a spice level for your meal. If you are ordering for a group, different bowls make it easy to compare styles.
More than ramen
Start with JINYA Buns, or add Garlic Fried Rice to your order. Other menu choices include karaage, dumplings and takoyaki. The selection also includes vegan dishes, such as spicy vegan ramen, Impossible gyoza and Brussels sprouts tempura.
For a drink, the menu includes cocktails, sake and beer. Matcha tiramisu is one dessert option, while matcha lychee lemonade is a nonalcoholic pick mentioned on the menu. The range makes the restaurant suitable for a meal with different appetites, not only a ramen stop.
The setting and planning your meal
The restaurant is at 1710 Wynkoop St, directly across from Union Station, which makes it convenient if you are arriving by train. Inside, low lighting and music create a relaxed, date-night feel. The room can become noisy during busy periods, so it may not suit a quiet conversation.
Dinner and weekends are the busiest times to plan around. Make a reservation in advance, or check the online waitlist through the restaurant’s website. If you are visiting for the first time, take a moment with the menu before ordering: there are many ramen choices, and the heat scale helps you choose a level that fits your taste.
