Free Ramen?! Jinya Ramen Bar Opens 70th Location with Oodles of Noodles

Free Ramen?! Jinya Ramen Bar Opens 70th Location with Oodles of Noodles

JUST IN TIME for the Lunar New Year on Wednesday, Jinya Ramen is opening its 70th (!) location in Pearland. Known for its thick, rich broth and flavorful noodles — thanks to the specialized water used to prepare its broth and the aging process its noodles undergo — Jinya also touts a wide array of authentic toppings, from tender pork chashu to shrimp wonton.

“Pearland is a city that truly appreciates bold flavors, and we’re thrilled to bring our dishes here,” said founder and CEO Tomo Takahashi, who opened the first Jinya Ramen in Tokyo in 2000. “Pearland is the perfect place to share our authentic ramen and connect with a community that values great food.”

In addition to ramen, Jinya is serving up other Asian-inspired dishes — think salmon jalapeno sashimi and Hokkaido scallops. And find local craft brews on tap, too.

The Pearland location opens at 11am on Wednesday, Jan. 29, at 9240 Broadway St. Ste. 140 — and the first 100 guests in line will receive a free bowl of ramen!

Regardless of what field you are in, I believe in starting with the basics to set and strengthen your foundation. I treat everyone we work with from our contractors, clients, to our inspectors with respect, patience and care.

Thrive & Inspire ’24: Adamson and Gibson Say Work Extra Hard, ‘They Don’t Have to See Your Sweat’

Phoebe Rourke

JD Adamson & Tony Gibson, Realtors®️ at Douglas Elliman Real Estate

WHAT IS THE secret to a successful real estate business? Clear communication, reconciling requirements with desires, and preemptively managing expectations are paramount to a win-win deal. There is an art to predicting clients’ wants before they do; deep listening is a key ingredient. Behind-the-scenes efforts often mitigate client anxiety levels more than outward actions — avoid an urge to wear the hustle like a badge. It’s okay to work harder than it appears you do. They don’t have to see you sweat. Keep egos in check and empathy levels high. Make room for openness. Do business with friends and protect their money. The deck is stacked in our client’s favor when objectives are clear and goals are stated. A compromise is not a defeat; it is an elegant solution. Always aim for a win-win deal; if that isn’t viable, you must win.
