JINYA Ramen Bar Expands in South Carolina with Greenville Location

October 07, 2026 // Franchising.com // LOS ANGELES. JINYA Ramen Bar is expanding its presence in South Carolina with the opening of a new restaurant at Magnolia Park Shopping Center, marking the brand’s second location in the state and the 83rd restaurant across the JINYA Holdings portfolio.

Located at 1025 Woodruff Road, the restaurant will introduce JINYA’s modern, approachable take on Japanese ramen to Upcountry South Carolina’s premier destination for shopping, dining and entertainment, and is the top-ranked restaurant in its portfolio.

The new location is described as focusing on traditional ramen-inspired dishes and a menu that includes toppings such as chashu, shrimp wonton and seasoned eggs, along with small plates and craft beer.

To celebrate its debut in Greenville, JINYA will host a grand opening event on Oct. 7. As part of the celebration, the first 100 guests will receive a free bowl of ramen, redeemable on a future visit.

“This opening represents an important step in our growth across the Southeast,” said Tomo Takahashi, founder and CEO of JINYA Holdings Inc. “We’re proud to bring our ramen to Greenville and look forward to building lasting relationships with the community through great food and hospitality.”

Once open, the Greenville location will operate Sunday through Thursday from 11am-10pm, and Friday and Saturday from 11am to 11pm.

At JINYA, ramen is more than a meal — it’s an experience. Guests can indulge in slow-simmered, thick, flavorful broths perfectly paired with handcrafted noodles. Toppings like tender pork chashu, shrimp wonton and seasoned eggs add depth to every bowl, while small plates and craft beer selections complete the dining experience. With a commitment to authentic flavors and quality ingredients, JINYA brings an elevated take on traditional ramen. JINYA is ramen culture, where the relationship between broth and noodles is at the heart of every dish.
