Jinya Holdings Inc. is in the process of bringing three of its brands — Jinya Ramen Bar, Robata Jinya and LBD Japanese Bar & Lounge — to Honolulu, according to a company press release.

Located at 1118 Ala Moana Blvd., a renovated 10,000-square-foot restaurant is now serving cuisine from Robata Jinya and LBD Japanese Bar & Lounge. Jinya Ramen Bar, the brand's fast casual concept, will open next week with a grand opening party, giving away free ramen to the first 100 guests.

With the Honolulu debut, guests can order from Robata Jinya's, a trendy, izakaya-style dining experience with choices of authentic nigiri sushi, hand rolls, Japanese tapas, craft cocktails, sake, wine and more. LBD Japanese Bar & Lounge features an outdoor bar with small plates and a drink menu that highlights a highly curated selection of Japanese cocktails, Japanese whiskey, wine and beer.

Additionally, Jinya Ramen Bar will serve the traditional flavors of Japanese food via small plates and renowned ramen, available in three types of soup, including pork, chicken or vegan and three types of noodles and numerous toppings.

"We're thrilled to bring Jinya's best-in-class brands to the beautiful island of Oahu," Jinya Holdings Founder and CEO Tomo Takahashi said in the release. "We've been fueling rapid expansion over the last year, so establishing three of our concepts in Hawaii is an incredible milestone. There is nothing in the area that compares to Jinya Ramen Bar's and Robata Jinya's fine and fresh traditional Japanese cuisine and LBD's specialty cocktails, so we look forward to introducing our bold, authentic flavors to Honolulu's locals and visitors alike next month."

Founded in 2010, Jinya Holdings has nearly 50 restaurants with multiple locations in the pipeline.
