Jin Ju

I like the vibe in here. It was welcoming and fun, yet not too tightened up like a bar feeling where you can lay back a little and enjoy the evening. As I don’t drink, I ordered just my favorite Korean dish that always make me happy, bibimbub with raw squid that served in a hot bowl and a scallion pancake, I liked them both. And my friend ordered soup with soju and she said she enjoyed it too… We will come back!

Every time I come here, I feel restored and satiated! My father grew up in Korea and introduced me to Korean food as a child, so coming here is always a treat. The staff is always kind and helpful and the food is delightful and delicious. Our Bim Bi Bop was served after a Miso soup and small bites of fermented radish, broccoli, potato salad, with sides of gochujang and Kim chi. This restaurant is very popular, so be sure to make a reservation or walk in off peak hours. If you are looking for an authentic, classy Korean meal, I would highly recommend Jin Jui!

Stumbled upon this place while walking around Andersonville, and I already can’t wait to come back. Jin Ju has a great ambience, and even greater food. My fiancé and I ordered two Terra beers and shared the Sam Gyup Sal and steamed Mandoo— everything tasted incredible. Special note: our server, Elijah, had such a calming and graceful energy which really enhanced the dining experience. Thanks Elijah!

Kimchi mando (fried) were amazing. Scallion pancake was ok (but greasy) and the pork belly appetizer was ok too (more Brussels sprouts then belly and not very flavorful). The spicy chicken bulgogi and the chap chae (veggie) were standouts though, service was quick and attentive. We left well fed and kids happy. Would come back.

I have enjoyed Jin Ju for years now, and I recently got to host a large dinner party for my birthday in their private dining space. The experience from planning the menu (including navigating dietary restrictions with a larger group) to arriving and enjoying our meal was so fantastic, and everyone enjoyed the experience and food! Jin Ju is fantastic for any occasion, and I am already craving the chicken wings again.
