At Kinya, we are more than just your ordinary ramen and sushi restaurant. Our focus is more than just the food we serve, it’s the experience.
I brought my family who flew in to visit us for dinner on the way home. Dinner was delicious. We had different ramen bowls and my wife tried a California roll. The ramen bowls are so big it would probably feed two people so come hungry. Service was attentive and they kept following up with us. I am looking forward to our next visit.

We recently hosted a party of 22 people here, and I am still amazed at how incredible our experience was! We had only one waitress taking care of our entire group, and she was absolutely outstanding. She was patient, attentive, organized, and handled everything with such a positive attitude. We usually have large family gatherings and often have multiple servers, but we have never experienced service this amazing before. I honestly can’t believe how she managed to take care of all 22 of us so smoothly — she never missed a beat! The food was absolutely delicious, and everything came out wonderful. If we could host all of our family parties here, we definitely would. Keep up the amazing work — you truly made our night special. Thank you so much for making more daughter’s 18th birthday so special. We will definitely be back!!! 🥰

Well, it started out well and I was really excited to try a new ramen place. The staff are really nice, the decor is very pretty, and overall I wanted to like everything. The gyoza were delicious and tender, and the "chips" with sweet chili sauce were good also. I got the tonkotsu ramen, which is how I determine if it's a good ramen restaurant. My boyfriend got the spicy ramen. His spicy ramen tasted good, but my ramen was disappointing. The broth was good, not as flavorful as some local places, but the noodles were absolutely terrible. I mentioned it to the staff, and they actually were agreeing with me. They were basically the same thing as angel hair spaghetti. They are apparently called the "white noodles," and the golden ones were the ones in my boyfriend's ramen. I asked why exactly they would use the white noodles if people complained, and it was mentioned that it may just be to save money. I could barely eat them, and it was very bland and underwhelming. The chicken that I ordered on top of the ramen, had pepper on it, but was not flavorful. I ate most of the gyoza and didn't want the ramen, and my bf liked the spicy pretty decently. I guess the "white noodles" were the main fault. They had a cool wall to make wishes on, and they're next to a frozen yogurt place which helped redeem the dinner experience.

My husband and I tried this spot for the first time today, and we were seriously impressed! They've only been open for about three weeks, but everything was already running so smoothly. Our waitress was incredibly friendly, attentive, and helpful throughout our visit. The food? Absolutely amazing. You can check out the photos to see what we ordered—every single dish was delicious. The sushi stood out the most—the taste and quality were top-notch, and the portion sizes were unreal. These were hands down the biggest and freshest pieces of nigiri we've ever had in the Treasure Valley. I would say the chicken thigh skewers were a tad overcooked as they were a little more on the dry side. The ramen was rich and flavorful, and the agedashi tofu was cooked to perfection—crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. We’re already looking forward to coming back. I think we’ve found our new favorite Japanese restaurant in the Boise area. I really hope they keep up this level of quality, because they have so much potential to become a go-to spot. Highly recommend!

Doggone it, I wanted so much to add photos to my review, but the rolls were SO incredibly good that we wolfed them down too quickly. We ordered the Godzilla roll (I grabbed a to-go menu on the way out so I could add a menu photo- holy moly, DIVINE), the Tropical roll, Vietnamese coffee (canned but very yummy, not overpoweringly sweet), and the mochi ice cream (mango and matcha I believe). We'll be frequent customers for sure. Excellent service (food was out in like 5 minutes!), and very kind staff. Definitely a must try in Meridian!

We went here because I didn't want our usual option. Incredibly fast service, fresh food, the fried wontons were a nice touch. Ramen- the beef ramen...

Kinya has much more than ramen! Anything from rice bowls, sushi, entrees, & a long list of appetizers, the menu has plenty to choose from. We visited on a...
