PHOENIX — Jinya Ramen Bar is less than a week away from opening its newest location in Peoria.
The Japanese restaurant is set to start serving customers on Wednesday at The Trailhead shopping center off of 83rd Avenue and Happy Valley Road.
It will be the national chain’s third location in the Valley, joining branches in Chandler and midtown Phoenix.
The first 100 guests at the Peoria opening will receive a free ramen bowl on their next visit.
“Peoria is a thriving community,” Tomo Takahashi, Jinya Ramen Bar founder and CEO, said in press release. “We’re excited to bring Jinya Ramen Bar to Peoria and continue our growth in the Phoenix area. We’re looking forward to serving authentic Japanese ramen in a neighborhood that values quality, culture and connection.”
What to know about Jinya Ramen Bar ahead of Peoria opening
Jinya’s menu features ramen made with a variety of broths, noodles and toppings such as pork chashu, shrimp wonton and seasoned eggs. The restaurant also serves small plates and a selection of craft beers.
The Peoria’s restaurant will be the chain’s’ 77th location. A fourth Arizona Jinya Ramen Bar is in the works in Queen Creek.
Takahashi opened his first ramen bar under the name in 2000 in Tokyo. He eventually moved to the U.S. in 2010 and started the current business in California.
In 2024, the company was ranked as the second-fastest growing full-service Asian concept in the United States by Nation’s Restaurant News.
