This was my first time dining at this restaurant, and I must say the dishes I ordered were absolutely delightful. You can truly taste the authenticity of the Korean cuisine. I also love the way each dish was beautifully plated, which added even more depth to the experience. The restaurant has a unique vibe and an amazing atmosphere that makes it stand out. The server was very attentive, and the host was welcoming and kind. Jinju has truly set the standard for Korean dining. I will definitely return to try more dishes and highly recommend this restaurant to everyone. 💙🇰🇷

Had been wanting to try Jin Ju for a while and finally made it in yesterday with a friend. The space is contemporary but fairly bare bones, and the food is clearly tailored to the Andersonville crowd rather than to anyone looking for something more authentic. We started with the gimbap and pajun, both decent. I had the seafood bibimbap and my friend had the japchae—both were one-note. The biggest letdown was the banchan: you only get it as a side to an entree, and the portions were insultingly tiny. Cocktails were watered down. Our server wasn't rude, just blasé about everything; the food ru

Have loved Jin Ju since it opened or so 20 years ago. Great sojutinis and Korean food. The daiji kalbi app is amazing, as is the dol sut bi bim bap and the dak bulgogi. We've never actually had a miss here, everything tastes so good.

his was my first time ever having Korean food, and it was amazing. Not entirely what I expected, but in the best way. I came with a friend who knows the cuisine well and handled the ordering for the table, so I knew I was in good hands. Our server was incredibly kind and helpful, guiding us on what Soju to try and checking in throughout the meal. The restaurant itself felt chic and modern with a calm, welcoming atmosphere. If I ever make my way back to Chicago, this will definitely be one of the first places I return to.
