Justin was amazing made the whole experience better with his up beat attitude would go here every day if I could 10 out of 10

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

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

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

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

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

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

I've been going to this place for a very long time, but they recently remodeled and implemented a new menu. I was a little scared but the updates are fantastic! Service was great as always, and the food feels way upgraded. I especially like the updated recipe for the cold noodle. Thanks Blake and the Jin team for another great dinner! 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

I love this place. I've been coming here for years. They recently added more items to their menu. I really like their take on KBBQ, menu is elevated and intentional. Everything was very tasty and well balanced. Our server Dat was great. He took care of us and even helped us cook the meats. Amazing service and even better food. Highly recommend! read more

Jin BBQ - Brisket - Korean Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

My friend and I have been coming here for 4 years now, almost once a month recently. Under new ownership/management every single one of our favorite things that made this place incredible are gone. The grill tops with sections for cheese corn and egg have been replaced by a plain flat metal plate. They also no longer serve a side of cheese corn, and the steamed egg is only available with a combo meal or covered in cheese with an extra $9 charge. They swapped out their house salad which had a really delicious dressing and changed a lot of the classic complimentary sides. The meat portions are suddenly smaller and for the first time ever we had to order a second plate just to feel full. The employees are always kind and very politely explained to us some of the changes over the past few weeks during our visits but now it just feels like a completely different experience. The music and the decor are the same with some additions to the wall art which I did like. Overall I'm just really disappointed that a place I came to for so long because of the consistency has changed so drastically in such a short time and I honestly don't know if I can come back. 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

Awesome korean bbq place! I have been there twice. Picked one of the prefix menus and there is enough food for at least 4 hungry humans. The service is good, and its not too noisy.

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

What a wonderful surprise. Hidden gem in small strip mall in Asian Market area. Great service team. They changed the grill plate often. Brought seconds of sides multiple times when asked. Meat was plentiful. Marinades delicious. Sides generous and well spiced, not so chili hot that you couldn't eat it. We ordered the deluxe for 4 ppl and had leftovers. Very good value. 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

Our first time here! We went the day after Valentine's. Not too busy , they have a Yelp Kiosk to check in. I signed in to them be seated right away. They have round and rectangular tables that can meet good size parties. We ordered Jin A. Which was a good deal, lots of sides plus great assortment of meat. The service here was spectacular! The best service we've ever experienced at a KBBQ restaurant. Every few minutes were checked on by a different staff member. We really appreciated that, it was like 7 or 8 of them that checked on us the entire visit. They even have Push for service button at each table which we didn't have to use once. Super nice. Food was yummy! We didn't like the pork belly.. not sure why, it's usually one of our faves but we instead loved the other meats more. So next time we don't get pork.. We will be back. We love Mesa Asian District. 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

Came in at 11:20pm (sat april 4) with my hubby and was turned away. Online it says Jin closes at 12Am. This really was heart shattering as I was pretty excited to eat here. But seeing others eat and being turned away felt like rejection and I probably won't be back as this was a new spot we were going to try for the first time. After all there are hotpots everywhere. read more

I've been going to Jinn BBQ for most of my special occasions since 2023 and today is the day that this tradition changes. New ownership has overhauled the menu, changed all of the utensils, and drastically changed my experience for the worse. The utensils are all golden now. The rice bowls are smaller and more shallow as well as all of the platters for the sides are no longer bowl depth as they are now plate with a lip depth. That means you get less rice and less sides. The biggest offense in my opinion is the change of grill type. My girlfriend and I have come to love the grill with the 3 side dish areas around it that we bought a similar one on Amazon at home. The new grill is just an oversized flat grill with holes. This in turn doesn't allow us to get our steamed eggs to get cooked the way we have come to love it. They no longer absorb the wonderful aromas and flavors of the meats they surround and they no longer get nice and cooked like we love. The eggs come in a separate dish, steamed, but with a bunch of water at the bottom of the dish. The eggs are very disappointing, I could barely tell they were the same recipe. The menu has also changed, you get the mostly similar "Jin" combos 1, 2, 3 but my favorite combo, the beef combo for 2-3 was removed. It was changed with the beef combo 1. Which mostly included the same meats. The beef bulgogi tasted similar as well as the brisket, but the skirt steak was terrible. The portions were very small, I would argue a 50-75% reduction in its size/mass. They went from looking like your pointer and middle finger together to looking like your thumb. Also the meat visibly looked paler and tasted of a lower grade. My girlfriend even ate 3 tough chewy pieces back to back while mine were passable. All in all I let alone my girlfriend and I will not be going here anymore. We are very sad, bordering a depressive state on this change. The place we came to love, that we would always be happy spending close to $150 on every month has disappeared. Although it passes as Korean BBQ, and it's a little cheaper, the overall ambience of the place was ruined by the changes above. Good luck in future endeavors. read more

Jin BBQ - SOOO GOOD - Korean Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

Jin bbq is one of the best kbbq spots in az. The atmosphere is always good and the music selection always gets me pumped! Don't even get me started on their meat selection! Salena recommended us the Jin combo A which was a great choice for our party size. Not only was there a good variety, but we all left really full! The staff was wonderful and always attentive. Shoutout to Truong, Salena, and Dat who always made sure we were doing okay at our table. The Galbi Jim we ordered on top of everything was the star of the show. 10/10 would come again! read more

Service 5 Food 4.5 Value 3.5 We chose the beef package which was VERY good. The extra $10 was very worth it. There was just two of us, and we made meals out of the leftovers. I'd like to have different protien and still get the short ribs... Idk, I didn't see a way to do that with out spending a lot more money. I'm already $111 deep for the Beef Combo... Anyways, it was still a great experience. The sides were excellent, the variety there was unmatched. We had the most pleasant dining experience. It's definitely a great date night spot. Would try some other places before coming back here first, but this place is worth the experience. read more

The best Korean BBQ in town that I have been to hands down. Order one meat or a combo with multiple and a bunch of traditional Korean sides are included. Service is good, plus they have call buttons to call over a server if you're running low on kimchi or other sides! I will take friends visiting town to this location every time. It's a prime example of traditional KBBQ done right. The atmosphere is casual - K-POP music is always playing (not too loud), so get ready to have fun and sing if you're willing! read more

Jin BBQ was an unforgettable symphony of sizzling sounds and bold flavours. We had the classic large beef combo crisping perfectly on the grill. The first bite, dipped in ssamjang and wrapped in a fresh lettuce leaf with a sliver of kimchi, was pure bliss--a perfect balance of smoky, savoury, and refreshing. The marinated galbi (beef short ribs) were the true star, their sweet-soy glaze caramelising over the grill into a sticky, irresistible crust. The tender, juicy meat practically melted in our mouths. Accompanied by a vibrant array of banchan, from spicy kimchi to crunchy pickled radish, each component enhanced the rich, grilled meats. It was more than a meal; it was a vibrant, interactive, and utterly delicious culinary experience I'm already craving to repeat. read more

Decided to give Korean bbq a shot and Jin did not disappoint! All the meat was perfectly seasoned and the service was speedy.
