DAIKAYA REVIEWS

This is one of the best ramens I've had outside of Japan. We were there on a Saturday afternoon for lunch and it was packed. It was cold outside, but we wanted to sit outside with the heaters. They didn't have them available while we were waiting but had turned them on by the time we left. The food was scrumptious. Very rarely do I finish my broth. But I polished off the spicy miso broth. In the words of my toddler, I made a clean plate. Lol!

Izakaya: Great food, great service, only qualm with the atmosphere was that the seat was kind of low. Great drinks with an option for everyone's taste. Daikaya: Ramen was pretty good, fast service, with waiting time ~20-30 mins around 8PM on a Saturday.

So delicious as always. One of the best ramen i have ever had. They definitely get packed later in evening and if there is a hockey game - they take their waitlist seriously. HIGHLY recommend and is a must for any ramen lover

CHAPLIN'S REVIEWS

Top-notch ramen, great for late nights, and having a good time with friends. Waiters were friendly and nice. Super helpful; made sure to get our orders on before the kitchen closed, made sure our drinks came out quickly. Overall great experience, highly recommended.

I really like this place. The Charlie Chaplin themed decor was nice. The service and food were exceptional. My whole experience was top-notch. I will be returning soon.

One of the best ramen I ever had. The vibe was good, Tony took care of us really well. Also, the green tea ice cream was very rich in taste.

JINYA RAMEN BAR LOGAN CIRCLE REVIEWS

Went because our regular Ramen spot was closed (for an hour). The space very nice, a little drafty but tolerable. The staff was friendly and attentive, though it took longer to get our bowls than I think it should have. But all the food we ordered was absolutely DELICIOUS. So worth the wait...I will gladly return to o try more of the menu. The Salmon Poke Mini Tacos are ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL!!

Great atmosphere, service and food! The ramen was very flavorful and the broth was very rich and balanced. Tempura Brussel sprouts fired perfectly but could have used a bit more salt/flavoring.

Magali was a fabulous server, and the food was out of this world delicious. We were a rowdy group of ten (notice the table massage!) and she handled everything with grace and professionalism.
