Jinya Ramen Bar, Totowa: Okay, so this isn't Bergen County — it's Passaic County, but we still think it's worth a mention because it's the chain's first New Jersey location in a partnership with Doherty Enterprises. Jinya offers guests "flavorful ramen dishes, all beginning with rich broth simmered for over 20 hours in-house, along with authentic Japanese small plates and shareables, as well as a full bar and craft cocktails," a press release reads.
