## Story

LOS ANGELES – JINYA Ramen Bar is bringing its first-ever New York location to Long Island. The new restaurant will open Jan. 21 at DSW Plaza in Lake Grove, N.Y., in partnership with Doherty Enterprises, Inc. This opening marks JINYA’s official entry into the Empire State.

Located near Wegmans, the space will offer guests an elevated dining experience that blends authentic Japanese cuisine with a modern, inviting atmosphere. The Lake Grove location will also feature outdoor seating with a cozy firepit and a private dining room available for special events — making it an ideal destination for everyday dining and group celebrations.

“Lake Grove, we can’t wait to bring the JINYA experience to such a lively community and continue expanding our presence in the Northeast,” said Tomo Takahashi, Founder and CEO of JINYA Ramen Bar. “At JINYA, we believe in taking ramen to the next level by focusing on authentic flavors, high-quality ingredients, and a modern dining atmosphere. We can’t wait to welcome guests to experience our signature broths and hand-crafted noodles.”

Upon opening, the new JINYA location in Lake Grove will operate Sunday through Thursday from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m., and Friday and Saturday from 11 a.m. to 12 a.m.

“We’re thrilled to introduce JINYA Ramen Bar to the Lake Grove community and the students at Stony Brook University,” said Timothy Doherty, CEO of Doherty Enterprises. “Our goal is to offer guests an exceptional dining experience where they can immerse themselves in authentic Japanese flavors while enjoying a warm and inviting atmosphere. Whether you’re a ramen aficionado or new to the experience, we can’t wait to welcome you to JINYA.”
