I'm from Cali and have tried all kinds of Korean BBQ spots, but Jin BBQ is definitely up there with the top dogs! I came in to dine shortly after they opened and was greeted and seated right away. I ordered the Beef Combo 1 and opted for the small portion. It comes with brisket, beef belly, marinated boneless short ribs, bulgogi, kimchi or soybean paste stew, and steamed egg. At first, I questioned the portion size and wondered if the small would be enough, but honestly, it ended up being the perfect amount for the price. Definitely a bang for your buck, especially since you also get unlimited rice and banchan! They say you eat with your eyes first, and the quality of the meat immediately made a great first impression. Everything looked so fresh and beautifully prepared. From the banchan and stew to the meat and steamed egg, everything was fresh, flavorful, and delicious. I was genuinely surprised..dare I say, blown away! The customer service was also top notch. I didn't feel rushed to eat and get out of there either. They let me take my time eat/grill at my own pace which I greatly appreciated. I definitely have to come back before I head out of town. Jin BBQ is a must try! :) read more

I had a really great experience at Jin BBQ. My family and I came here on our first day in Arizona for my sister's volleyball tournament after a long day, and the service honestly made our night better. Our waiter was very kind and helpful -- he helped us cook the meat, checked on us, and even recommended a popular matcha place for my sister. The food was really good, especially the cold noodles, which were perfect for the Arizona weather. It was a little pricey, but I felt like it was worth it because the food, service, and overall experience were all great. We enjoyed it so much that we actually came back a second time before heading home. Definitely a place I would recommend! read more

New favorite. The food is stellar, from the unlimited appetizer/sides (kimchis, noodles, veggies, potato salad) to the soups, sides, sauces and meats. The menu is not all you can eat. That said, my partner and I got the XL Beef Combo 1 and ended up having to take home a third of it. Meat quality is great, and portions are good. They have the best cucumber kimchi I've ever had, and fantastic kimchi soup that's not too spicy. The beef belly and bulgogi were our favorite meats. Many of their options like the green salad, bulgogi, marinated ribs, and vegetables were not nearly as sweet as I often find them in other KBBQ joints, which was a great change. The service is great. I didn't feel waited on, I felt like I was just generally seen. There's a doorbell if you need something quickly. Otherwise all staff were super friendly and anticipated our needs with grill changes which was nice. The atmosphere is great. It's small and casual but very comfortable and upscale at the same time. It feels very relaxed while maintaining a high standard. The music is great (for us), all kinds of EDM at a good volume. And no TVs, which is actually nice - it let us focus on the vibes, the food, and each other. Many other parties were laughing and having a good time. We spent about 130 between the two of us, having ordered an XL combo and an extra side (chicken buldak - I couldn't eat the noodles but the chicken was bomb). It was a great way to spend a Friday night. We plan to make this a regular spot in our rotation - we still have a lot of sides and meats to try. Well done, please keep it up. Would recommend. read more

Jin BBQ - Beef Combo 1 XL, appetizers/side dishes, salad, sauce/salt/plate setup - Korean Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

Among the best kbbq places in the valley. I wish they had an ayce option so I could be an absolute glutton but it is always more than enough food. Good flavors. Great service. read more

Jin's BBQ was great! We got the pork aged in beeswax which I've never seen anywhere else before and the flavor was so unique and tasty! We also got beef bulgogi which was delicious as well. Every single one of the many sides they brought out was so good and they're free refills! I really enjoyed trying a little bit of all the different things. The waiters/waitresses were all very friendly and someone was always there to help cook the meat. The restaurant had a fun vibe with upbeat music and several drink options. read more

Jin is the real deal. As soon as we were seated, they quickly brought out the banchan which was plentiful and refilled as many times as we wanted. We ordered the Jin Combo 1 small, which is for 2-3 persons at $78. For those that think this place is expensive, it's actually a good value. There was plenty of food for the two of us, and we probably ate too much, so could have used a third person. The quality of the meats is definitely a step above AYCE Korean joints. Plus, you get a soup and steamed egg, so there's no shortage of food to leave you full and satisfied. The service was great and our waiter made sure everything was filled and often checked in with us. We will definitely be back. read more

Excellent food! I came here years ago and it was delicious but a bit on the pricier side. I came here again and I think the owners changed. The meat quality is the same - top notch and delicious. The brisket was probably the best in bbq I've had in the U.S. The banchan was all amazing and I love all the different options. The tomato basil was my favorite and the Japchae. I also love that they had three different types of sauces. We also got Terra and tried a sampler of their makkuli ice drink and it was amazinggggg. For the four of us, we spent about $150 total. I'd definitely come back again! read more

It's my favorite Korean bbq in Arizona! I came there twice and they are so good. You can tell the meat quality is there, although you need to grill them by yourself, but everything even the banchan (side dishes) and the steam egg, corn cheese, radish were so good. It's definitely on the pricer side, but it's a good spot for a group of friends/family to share and have more options to eat. read more

I went with a few coworkers and had a great time! We had their "Jin Combo B" and it was plenty for the three of us to split and take home some leftovers. The meats were all qute good, and their setup included refills on all the sides. The setup they have with the trays of kimchi egg and cheese corn in particular was a clever, albeit time-limited feature. Although we managed to beat the Friday evening rush, the servers were still very prompt despite the place filling up. I would definitely bring my friends back here! read more

Jin BBQ - Korean Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

We stopped in for a late lunch at Jin BBQ before heading to the Innings Festival at Tempe Beach Park, and wow... easily the best lunch decision we made all day. Everything was so delicious! This is officially my new favorite Korean BBQ spot in Arizona. We live about 30 minutes away, but the food is absolutely worth the drive. The inside setup even reminded me of the Korean BBQ restaurants I grew up going to in California, which made the whole experience feel extra nostalgic. Service was good, the vibe was great, and every bite hit the spot. We'll definitely be back. Jin BBQ is a gem. read more

My favorite side is the konjac noddles so I had to ask for seconds. The meats were good. Try to wrap the beef or pork with a piece of kimchi salad and dip it in the sauce. Tell me what you think. I also had a cold bottle of Terra beer. It was good. The service is top notch. Enjoy! read more

I was a little worried about the price when I first sat down. Then they started bringing out all the appetizer dishes. There were so many. Between those and the salad, the steamed egg, and the stew, I was almost full before the meat even arrived. It was worth every penny. The staff were very friendly and attentive as well. read more

First Korean BBQ experience and it was great! We were in town for a tournament and found this wonderful spot! I didn't do the ordering but I believe we had brisket, pork belly, & bulgogi. Service was very attentive and so incredibly friendly! We had three preteen boys and they had a great time and ate everything! Definitely a delicious meal and great atmosphere! Highly recommend if you're in the area! read more

Best Korean BBQ in the entire state. I come here almost every other month because the meat quality is incredible and the sides are both delicious and unlimited. It's the classic style where you cook your own meat and pair it with all the sides for extra flavor. One of my absolute favorites is the marinated short rib. It's so tender and flavorful, especially with some radish and kimchi. I never liked kimchi much until I tried it here. Turns out I just wasn't eating good kimchi before, because theirs is easily some of the best I've ever had. Service is quick and efficient, and each table has a call button so your server comes right away whenever you need something. It's the perfect spot for a group of four to six to enjoy great food and good company! read more

Had a good dinner tonight! Service is always great here. I will say though, after coming here for the last two years, it seems they have recently changed ownership and/or menu offerings. Banchan sides have changed slightly and they no longer offer the additional sides (corn cheese, green onion salad, grilled kimchi) as part of the main menu. This is definitely one of the better KBBQ spots in the Phoenix area! The quality just isn't quite the same. read more

Jin BBQ - Beef Combo - Korean Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

When I hear Jin BBQ I'm like hm Jin? Okay probably just another KBBQ spot right? WRONG. I was actually so wrong ‍ This was not just dinner. This was an EXPERIENCE. The environment made me love this place more cuz the decorations and the music playing and the atmosphere was . Brandon was our server and I genuinely think he made the whole night. He was so attentive like refilling our water before we even noticed, cracking jokes, bringing extra sides with no hesitation when asked. Customer service like that AND with a SMILE?! so so so attentive I love it. You can tell when someone actually cares and he did. You can tell he enjoys what he does. He really made us feel so comfortable. It was really nice especially since the first time we had came a few years ago we didn't have the best experience so when we came this time around we were extremely satisfied. We ordered the beef intestines and the premium beef tongue and shared between three people. Tell me why we were absolutely stuffed but STILL ordered spicy cold noodles . And somehow??? We finished EVERYTHING. The sides. The sauces. The meat. Every last bite. No shame. I had told our server, Brandon, we were celebrating my sister's birthday. We had ordered some soju and he told us he had a surprise and just asked what flavor soju we wanted. Next thing I know this man is coming out singing happy birthday with a candle literally blasting sparks from the side. I KID YOU NOT. We were screaming and clapping. Never seen anything like this. Would I come back? Yes. Would I recommend? 100000% yes. Did this change my opinion about Jin? COMPLETELY. Because why was it THAT good??? Thank you Jin for being delicious, belly filling, and worth every bite. Brandon you are elite. We will absolutely be back. read more

Had such an amazing dinner here at Jin BBQ tonight with my family! The ambiance inside has a more lively feel with the new revamp and the K-pop playlist sets the mood for a night of eating! The new menu offers an array of different side dishes and meats that weren't there before! Coming from someone who is often indecisive, I LOVE that there are new combo options that help guide you through the various cuts of meat. The new small side dishes (banchan) that come with your meal when ordering is so delicious as well! I love how the staff is never shy with refills when asking for more!! Speaking of the staff here, they were all so attentive to small details and super friendly:) They were all quick to notice when our table needed water, sides, a grill change, etc... It feels as though the workers here take pride in what they do and what they serve! All in all, I will be back again sometime soon to bring in new friends to eat here! I have always loved the quality of meat here, the fun upbeat vibes, and the friendly staff members that create a cheerful ambiance. read more

Found Jin while visiting Mesa and they rocked. I'm a huge fan of Korean food, I've visited Seoul and Busan, but my husband fell in love while eating at Jin. He is wishing we had a "Jin" in our hometown in California. All the flavors were amazing and every side dish was delicious. We had ribeye to BBQ, spicy cold noodles, and kimchi fried rice. The servings were large and we had leftovers to enjoy for lunch the next day. The staff was attentive, service was quick, and they kept our side dishes full. Excellent experience, hands down 10/10 dining treat! Loved the vibe and they played all the fav KPop tunes! Fantastic ambiance with the wood and metal esthetic and concrete floors. Appreciated "Heaven" being clean and well stocked. Definitely a repeat restaurant when in Mesa! read more

Yum!!! So I'm not an expert, I have never had Korean BBQ outside of Arizona. But this spot was much better than the other places we've been. I love the prix fix vs. the all you can eat model. Great cuts of meat. We had 4 adults and chose two of the prix fix options that said they serve 2-3, we had more than enough food! Couldve gotten away with one order, but two of our guests were not big eaters. It also came with two Kimchi soups. The "moat" (I don't know the correct term) for steamed egg, roasted kimchi with seaweed, and cheesy corn around the grill was new to me and so tasty!! Our little one loved the steamed egg, we couldn't cook it fast enough. Service was very friendly and fast. Be warned if you have someone with back issues etc, they have the traditional drum stools. They also make it a little more challenging to contain a toddler ha. read more

Price has gone up. Was on a Saturday night waitlist for 30 minutes, then received a text saying the wait time would be an additional three hours. Lmao. Joined at 7:30pm, estimate seating time 11:30pm. If this happens to you - Manna Heaven is across the street! read more

The key here is to call in ahead of time for reservations because the wait is long on a Saturday night. And it totally makes sense they are that busy because the food and ambiance is that good. The service is on top of it and so nice. We are new to the area from LA, and I have to say we were not disappointed in the least. If you're hungry, call ahead of time and plan accordingly because that was the only thing we encountered to make note of. The music is fire. We had three adults and three kids in our group and all were full and happy by the end of dinner. We got the Jim combo 3 L. Everything was yummy. Wrapped my pork belly after grilling well done with a pinch of salt, sauce, crumb, and pickled radish paper slices and kimchi. Chef's kiss. Thank you to the staff! read more

If you've had Korean BBQ and thought, "Okay, this is kind of cool, but just okay," then you haven't been to Jin BBQ. This place completely changed my perspective from been there, done that to this is really good. The atmosphere sets the stage for an authentic experience, and the service is both quick and friendly. We were especially impressed by the generous variety and quality of the banchan (small plates of various flavors served with Korean barbecue and rice, often including kimchi, seasoned vegetables, and more). Overall, we had a fantastic experience and will definitely be back! Saluti read more

I've been to this location many times, and overall, the food is consistently above average. However, during my most recent visit, I was surprised when I was charged an additional $4.99 for a second serving of lettuce--even after spending well over $150 on our meal. When ordering bulgogi, it's traditional to enjoy it with lettuce wraps, yet the small portion initially provided is nowhere near enough compared to the amount of meat. Charging extra for something so essential to the dish feels like nickel-and-diming customers and cheapens the overall dining experience. A better approach would be to either serve an appropriate portion of lettuce with the bulgogi or build the extra cost into the dish itself. That way, it respects both the customer and Korean tradition without leaving diners feeling shortchanged over something as simple as lettuce. read more

Set menu but food outstanding, don't go elsewhere where the food is unlimited but not as tasty. Despite set menu we still had leftovers and the price was very manageable for what we were getting. Otherwise the setting same as any other Korean BBQ. We loved the side garnishes, kimchee bbq, boiled egg, soup, fresh kimchee, and other std side dishes and a green salad. Since BBQ leave your date clothing in the car if you are going out to a movie or clubbing afterward and not want to get water thrown on you as others may think you are on fire...lol.... read more

First review of the new year! We had a lovely NYE dinner here. There was no Jinn around that I know of luckily and I did not spy any gin n juice, just soju at Jin. I made a reservation for a large group the day before and was advised to give them a call 20 minutes before arriving so they could set the tables up. Note that if you are going as a larger group the largest tables can squeeze in 6 adults and 1 kid with a minimal amount of elbow and leg space, otherwise you would have to separate into two smaller tables. We had the Jin Combo 1 and a jap chae. With 2 people that didn't have big appetites that was enough food for us to leave pleasantly full. All the meats were really delicious with large portions and high quality. As for sides, I enjoyed the corn cheese and the fluffy egg that was cooked on the side along with the meats. There were some rice cakes as well as your standard banchan fare of fish cake, kimchi, etc. The japchae was a generous portion with long sweet potato noodles that had just the right amount of seasoning. It came with vegetables and some slices of beef. Service was friendly and we were checked up on as needed. There was also a call button on the wall of our table so we could request a server to come by if needed. read more

I had only been to one other Korean bbq before and the whole time I was scared to order too much since they make you pay for what you don't eat, so it was super nice coming here to JIN bbq where you pay for your meat combo ahead of time and get to enjoy it at your own pace and don't have to worry about getting full and having to pay for leaving food. The bright side to paying for the amount of meat your getting is, you get to take him the cooked meat once you leave if you have left overs. The service here was 10/10 our waitress & waiter checked in on us all the time, made sure we didn't need more sides and were just really friendly. The sides come with the combo meal, and are unlimited. I really enjoyed this place and think I would come back! It wasn't too busy, and it was cute inside as well. read more

We went in 2-3 weeks ago and it is now under new ownership. So the raving reviews here is from the old ownership. The food was still good but not quite the same as it was before. For instance, I loved the radish sheets that they use to have but don't have anymore. The green onion salad was also good but no more. We didn't get a starter salad like before although I saw some tables had them. They used to have an outer circular area around the grill and they would put grilled kimchi, corn cheese and egg in that but those are gone too. We order the same thing every time and the portion seems smaller. Like typically I order the combo bulgogi, spicy pork and chicken (they don't have chicken anymore either ). Typically there is enough to take home and even though they give you more beef and pork...we were a tad hungry still after our meal. I don't know...I loved those little things that set them apart from other Korean bbq restaurants so it was surprising that they are gone . Service is still amazing and ambiance is still good though! read more
