JINYA Ramen Bar Coming to Reston, Virginia

Legendary Japanese restaurant slated for late Summer opening

Reston, VA—JINYA Ramen Bar announced today it is near completion of a new location in the heart of Reston Town Center. The Reston location will be the fourth location in the region, bringing local diners the signature rich Japanese flavors and authentic presentations that has made the brand wildly popular around North America. The restaurant is scheduled to open later this summer at 11964 Market Street.

JINYA brings to Reston a hospitality philosophy that is rooted in authentic Japanese cuisine and the concept of kaizen, meaning “continuous improvement.” The restaurant was founded in 2010 by Tomonori Takahashi, and the company’s growth is proof that he knew what it would take to build a great restaurant. Since day one Chef Kazuya Takebe has dedicated his work to introducing diners to generations’ old ramen traditions, experimenting with fresh ingredients to build delicious new compositions that excite and often surprise. Chef Takebe has implemented a water filtration system that purifies the water used for all of JINYA’s broths. And at JINYA diners experience ramen as it is meant to be – with thick, rich broth perfectly balanced with handmade noodles. When it opens, diners in Reston will discover a wide array of authentic toppings, from tender pork chashu to a perfectly cooked and seasoned poached egg. 

This year, as the region continues its battle against a growing pandemic, opening a new restaurant requires kaizen. Local franchise owner Sam Shoja has adapted the JINYA concept to accommodate for necessary safety protocol prompted by guidance from the Commonwealth of Virginia and the Center for Disease Control (CDC). To protect the restaurant’s team and guests, the location will open with takeout and delivery only, and will develop a seating layout to welcome diners inside this fall to experience a range of seating options with ample social distancing. Upon opening, guests will meet a staff fully trained on current guidance, with consistent operational practices and sanitation standards, ensuring a comfortable environment for everyone.

When it opens, JINYA will accept takeout and delivery orders via phone as well as online through a variety of delivery platforms in the Reston area including Uber Eats, Grubhub, Postmates, and DoorDash. The takeout and delivery program will be offered complete with JINYA’s dynamic menu that includes small plates, mini-tacos, salads, rice bowls, and desserts for any appetite.

JINYA Ramen Bar offers “A Bowl Above All Others” – satisfying ramen options that offer guests true ramen culture. JINYA was founded with a mission to supply communities with delicious food at a reasonable price that is accessible to everyone. Thick and thin ramen noodles are made fresh daily served traditionally with appropriate broth. Each bowl of ramen is built around a thick and rich broth simmered slowly for 20 hours, then balanced with toppings ranging from spicy bean sprouts to pork chashu, seasoned with fresh garlic and much more. While tastes vary, all options are unique, and range from best-sellers including a Spicy Chicken Ramen, Spicy Creamy Vegan Ramen, and JINYA Tonkotsu Black.

Ramen bowls are regularly priced under $16 each, but in honor of the restaurant’s tenth anniversary, JINYA Reston will proudly offer a range of selections for $10 for a limited time.
