First things first if you want authentic Korean food this is not the place to go. You can think of the food here as Korean/American fusion with a bit more accent on the American part. The overall taste of the food was mediocre at best. The Chu Gu Mi Dol Sut Bi Bim Bap was suuuuper spicy so be warned. The overall feel and ambiance of the restaurant was pretty nice and cozy but it was a little too dark for my liking but everyone has their preferences. The main reason for the 2 star rating is because of the service here. At first our server seemed great but after our food came out he did not bother to check in on us at all. We had to flag down a different server and asked them to get our server...
The coolest Korean joint in Chicago 's Andersonville 'hood. It was hands down one of the best dining experiences I 've had in a while. First off, the food at Jinju is out of this world. I tried their Chu Gu Mi Dol Sut Bi Bim Bap, and holy moly, it was amazing!! The combo of baby octopus, scallops, rice, hot stone pot and all those veggies was straight-up mind-blowing. So dang good! The chicken wings, aka Dak Gan Jang, were off the charts. Sam Gyup Sal was also fantastic pork belly, crispy leeks, and a bunch of other goodness.The vibe at Jinju is cozy and welcoming. It 's the kind of place where you can kick back, relax, and enjoy some seriously good Korean eats. Whether you 're rolling solo,...
Really wanted to like this place but was quite disappointed in the food. The kimchi pajun was crispy but had no flavor other that “deep fried”, couldn’t even sense there was kimchi in it. The tteok was chewy but the sauce also lacked flavor. The stone bowl bibimbap wasn’t salted and the sauce added nothing to it; it tasted like bland white rice with unseasoned vegetables. These all felt like traditional Korean dishes, but the depth of flavor usually found in Korean cooking was really lacking.Service was good at least and the atmosphere was nice.
It’s a great introduction to Korean food in an elegant wayIt’s definitely authentic and the simple menu and presentation gives you the chance to get acquainted with Korean foodI love the soups during the winter months and they need more ban Chan (side dishes).
