This was my first time trying Korean BBQ and I couldn't have asked for a better place to test things out. This place is tucked away in a strip of businesses in Mesa. The parking lot had plenty of space so we were off to a great start. We walked in on a Thursday at 6:30om with a party of two and were seated immediately (they even had plenty more room available. Upon being seating, we had a staff member kindly walk us through how to choose which meat combo we wanted and how we would be cooking our meat. Jin BBQ has a great range of combos and a la carte options for main meats and sides. We ordered the Jin Combo 1 which included premium thinly sliced brisket , premium boneless short rib, grilled bulgogi, Pork Jowl, and the choice of a Kimchi stew or beef brisket soy bean paste stew. In addition, this combo included the following small sides: green onion salad, rice, macaroni salad, pickles, ginger salad, kimchi, corn cheese salad, and steamed eggs. The sides are bottomless and Jin BBQ has a button at their tables for guests to push, in case you want a refill on any of your sides. We LOVED the beef bulgogi and the boneless shirt rib the most as the main dish and loved the steamed egg and green onion salads as the sides. This was SO much food, you really get your moneys worth here and portioning is generous. The staff would swing by our table every 30 minutes or so we swap out our grill for a clean one which really improved the quality of our cooking over time. The only reason I would knock this down from 5 starts to 4.5 stars is that we waited for 30 minutes to get our check and wish staff would have been more attentive to that, but even with this minor inconvenience, we had an incredible time and we will definitely be coming back. read more

Wanted to try Korean BBQ and found Jin on Yelp. We made it through our rookie experience and loved it. Hope to be back to Jin's soon!

The BEST Korean bbq in the valley!! We had Brandon as our server and he was so kind and gave great recommendations. Everything came out super fast & the whole staff was super attentive without being overbearing. Pricing was also great and portions were larger than I thought they would be. Would highly recommend and will 100% be back. read more

Jin BBQ - Korean Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

This place truly sets the standard for Korean BBQ! I usually end up with terrible heartburn after most all-you-can-eat spots, but not here. The quality of the meat makes all the difference, and it was absolutely delicious. The restaurant itself is clean and modern, the music creates a great vibe, and the staff were incredibly friendly and attentive. Totally worth the drive out to the East Valley.!I'll gladly make the trip again for Korean BBQ this good! read more

Jin BBQ is likely the best Korean BBQ in the East Valley. This is not all you can eat but quality of the food is amazing and cost wise, tends to come out same price as if going to an ayce Korean bbq joint. They have different sets depending on what meats you are wanting. We typically order the beef set and we always have left overs. They have really impressive banchan choices including cheese corn, steamed egg, salads and fish cakes, much more. The servers here are the best too, they're always making sure you have everything you need including grill changes! Ambiance feels casual. The round seats are super uncomfortable though. Highly recommend ! read more

I wish I took pictures, I was too ready to eat. HIGHLY RECOMMEND getting the short rib soup. It comes with a little bit of green onion, you get the clear noodle and of course a good amount of short rib. That broth was SO TASTY. I would definitely say it's worth the try. the bbq I did was beef brisket, and all of that plus the ban chan or one person was perfection. staff were so kind & friendly. They are open all the way to midnight, which was exactly what I needed for a long day. The ambiance is the vibe you can meet up with your friends & get soju & enjoy each other company over kbbq! It's a yes for me ! read more

My family and I were fortunate to have stumbled across Jin BBQ. The restaurant was clean, well organized and very inviting. The front staff and wait staff were the best. Friendly, attentive and patient when we were struggling with the menu and all the options. The food portions were generous and very tasty. We had a great time, great meal and are already planning a return trip. Well done Jin BBQ, I wish you much success! read more

I have been craving Korean food for months now and I told my wife we have to find a place. we were in the area and after doing yep search we decided to go with Jen barbecue. They did not disappoint. We ordered the Beef combo. The sides alone almost filled up our table. We ate 2 rounds of beef and chicken cooked on the cooktop. Our waitress was wonderful she helped with the meat cook because we didn't want it over done. We had enough leftovers to take home for a full 2nd course. Pros: food was outstanding, waitress and staff was excellent. Cons: if you wanna call it a con, for all the food we had our table seemed a little small read more

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

Really enjoyed my KBBQ experience here at JIN. Dined with a party of 4 for an early dinner on a Thursday evening. Thankfully no wait. The staff were all very attentive and patience with our party. We ordered Combo A with the soybean soup, plus an order of seafood pancake. All of the meat was really good, but specifically the boneless short ribs. Great portion and value for 4 people! Loved the unlimited banchan. The green onion salad is a great garnish for you meat. Make sure to get you fill of corn cheese! read more

I passed by this place many times, just never had the time to stop to eat. We came there at 5:30pm on a Friday evening. It was great! We were seated immediately and greeted pretty quickly as well. We all shared a soju, woooooo.... Strong for me! We decided on the JIn Combo A (Premium sliced brisket, boneless short ribs, grilled bulgogi, pork jowl, and beef brisket soy bean paste stew). That was a lot of meat! The little side areas on the grill are for the corn cheese, steamed egg, and rolled rice cakes. Those are unlimited! Oh yeah! So are all the banchan items! That pumpkin squashes was so so good!!! read more

Everything was great! Second time didn't disappoint. Yes I recommend. We had plenty of food and the Kim chee Fried rice was the bomb. The eggs and the hot Kim chee was delightful read more

First time here. I came here with two friends who had been here before and been here multiple times before. We got the beef bulgogi and the skirt steak. Both were good. My friends did make a comment that the portions seemed smaller than they've had in the past. The skirt steak was tender and good. The bulgogi was flavorful. They had okay sides: potatoes, picked radishes, egg, cheese and corn, kimchee. They didn't have the fish patty that I've seen at other Korean bbq places. The egg was my favorite side. The kimchee didn't taste as fresh as I've had in other places. They provide unlimited sides and unlimited rice so that was definitely a perk that my friends loved. The customer service was great - the servers were friendly and helpful and super fast! We never waited more than 5 seconds for any attention, and that was even when the restaurant was 60% full. read more

We had a great family dinner her and everything was delicious. It was so much fun to try out different flavors and the staff was very helpful and friendly. It's in a strip mall so it Durant look like it's going to be much when you get there so don't let that fool you. My only complaint would be the alcohol selection. Only sake, a couple of beers and rice/plum wine. Wish there would've been a white Chardonnay or red Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot or red blend. read more

The food is amazing. The service is 10/10 and the ambiance is very chill. It's a tiny place but the best place to get Korean bbq.

I ordered a couple of dishes on Doordash because I couldn't decide between the bibimbap and the bulgogi. However, I also wanted to order a soup but stopped myself because I knew I was already overordering for one person. To my surprise, when I received the order, I saw that there was a small bowl of soup as a side dish, and the portion sizes were generous. I thought everything was really good. I ended up having leftovers that were enough for three more meals (ate them for two lunches and one dinner). read more

10/10!! This is our MOST FAVORITE Korean BBQ place! The food is fantastic, the service is even better and the environment is beautiful! We came right at 5pm and got seated immediately. We were given great recommendations and had such a beautiful meal! read more

This place is AMAZING. Clean dining room, excellent quality meat, and even greater service! Unfortunately I didn't get our server's name (black hair with blonde highlights, very fashionable, my aunts kept saying he looks like a Korean actor lol), but I wanted to give him a shoutout for giving us such a great dining experience. He cooked our meat for us and made sure to cater to every whim, all while being incredibly friendly and conversational. He mentioned Jin was modeled after LA Korean BBQ restaurants and as someone who's from LA, I can definitely confirm it's exactly like the ones back home. I'm from out of state, but I'll definitely be coming back here when I'm back to visit! read more

I have been here twice now and both times have been a great experience!! Found this place when I was looking for a Korean BBQ that had corn cheese (I love corn cheese) and Jin BBQ did not disappoint! I enjoyed everything that I have tried beyond the corn cheese haha The first time I was here was back in Aug 2021. I recently stopped by with my boyfriend for his birthday dinner this past month and it's just as good as we remembered it being! We ordered the Jin Combo 1 with the kimchi stew (so yum), and a seafood pancake. My boyfriend was not a big fan of the dipping sauce that accompanied the pancake (I thought it was ok) but the pancake itself makes up for it, in my opinion. It's fluffy and crispy and has so much seafood in it!! The cuts of meat that came with the combo was great! The beef short rib was my favorite and the brisket was my boyfriend's favorite. I regret not ordering each individual meat separately because I remembered how good the pork belly was last time I came. I wasn't a huge fan of the pork jowl (it was our first time trying it) but if you typically like pork jowl and the accompanying beef cuts in the combo, I think it's worth it. I loveee the steamed egg (and corn cheese) on the sides. The people that work here are pretty attentive and nice, and it's super easy to get service since they have the little button. Really wish they had lettuce leaves on the side to make little lettuce wraps but really not a dealbreaker. I also love how close the vent is placed above the grill (I hate having my hair/clothes smell like the smoke but it really wasn't bad here)! As much as I like AYCE Korean BBQ, it's hard to want to settle for AYCE KBBQ when you've experienced Jin BBQ lol It's such a treat! read more

Jin BBQ - Jin Combo 1 - Korean Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

Came here last Sunday for a friend's birthday dinner around 7pm. It actually wasn't crazy packed that day so we were seated right away. We got two tables next to each other. I think we had maybe 13 people. We ordered 2 large beef combos, soju, and a couple of beers. This place never disappoints. Meat quality has always been good every time I've been here! The kimchi soup that came with the combo was soooo good and spicy! I wish we got more of that! I didn't really care for the soju and beer since we day drank in downtown Phoenix and old town prior. They did give a bottle of soju free since it was a birthday. I highly recommend ordering the beef combo to make things easier but you can also order a la carte if you prefer. read more

Came here for my besties's bf bday as they wanted to try Korean BBQ for their first time with their fave korean girl! So i said lets do it and check this place out together out of all the options she sent me Jin was the one. So we came on a weekday evening, the place had quite a crowd already but we got seated immediately. We ordered the fried rice for my god daughter and it wasn't the greatest but prolly will never order that again. Then we got the short ribs, and spicy pork, and thin beef slices. All the meat cuts and seasons were delish, no complaints there. The side dishes were all really good and tasty as well, their green onion salad was superb!! I enjoyed it so much we had a few rounds of them coming to the table. Service is great, fast, and attenuative. the servers check on you so frequently we had to tell them we wernt ready a few times before ordering! thats how good service is here. not to mention food quality is awesome! DEF a fan and cant wait to come back for more! read more

Jin BBQ - Korean Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

Jin BBQ is the best Korean BBQ spot in PHX in my opinion. I probably go here once a week because of how much I love the food and service. I think the meat that they serve is the freshest and best quality meat. I've gotten a chance to try some other KBBQ spots but their meat doesn't come close to the quality at Jin. They also offer free cheesy corn and omelettes which cook right next to your grill as you cook the meat. Their service is also miles ahead of any other competitor. Waiters are always there as soon as you need them and they even have a button at each table that you can press to have someone come and help out. The waiters are all very knowledgeable and give great recommendations and will even grill for you if you ask. I had never had pork cheek before so I asked one of the waiters to tell me how to cook it and she went above and beyond and offered to cook it for my friends and I. Ambiance is decent too. It's located near the H-mart so you can get some shopping done before or after your meal. Definitely recommend to anyone looking for a good Korean BBQ restaurant. read more

THE BEST KOREAN BBQ! This spot is known for being a top Yelp spot and deservingly so. The quality of their meat compared to an all you can eat place like Gen is worth the money. The service is always great, they are very helpful and make sure you're taken care of. They play music later at night which is nice and creates an amazing environment with lights and the smell of the meat on the grill. I've been here 10+ times and it's ALWAYS consistent! read more

Number 1 in the World!... ...of Arizona ...for 2022 The Main proud sponsors are: Beef and Pork with delicious Ban Chan as supporting cast! If you come, they will build the grilled magic! Cheese corn? Check! Korean steamed egg? Check! Soju? Check Check! Be ready to roll on this experience you'll soon not forget. Having been here a few times, with Dr. Joyce W. and Michael, we needed a great place that accommodates late night. Enter Jin BBq! They close at 12am! Plus they have Soju :) We ordered the #2 selection(again!) with amazing beef, both marinated and non-marinated including a huge steak! Pork which included cheek(?), pork belly, marinated pork. Not for the weak of heart but enough for a week! Please see photo. At one point I was eating so voraciously and with Gusto, I almost ate my fingers! The staff is super attentive and fill your ban chan plentiful. I enjoy seeing familiar faces when being here. The night we arrived at 9:30pm, they never rushed us out and were completely serviceable. Makes for a comfortable setting. Jin BBq gets busy but moves along quickly. Never disappoints plus they have soju. Enjoy! read more

My husband says five-star but I give it a four-star. He claims their meats are premium. I thought their meats were average. Sides included cheesy corn and egg that cook as your meats cook on side of pan, which was a nice accompaniment. Other sides include rice, salad, kimchee, pickles, macaroni salad. Overall great dinning experience. A quick dinner in and out in less than 1 hour. Servers were very attentive. Does get crowded but you can check in on Yelp! Late night menu includes fried chicken wings. read more

Jin BBQ - Korean Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

Pricy but delicious I really liked Jin BBQ - all the meats were delicious and the marinades were perfection. This is the first KBBQ restaurant I've been to where the fluffy egg and corn cheese sides are prepared on the side of the grill, and it was way better than other places I've been in Phoenix where it's served on the side. Or at least, it had the perception of being better because you could watch that cheese melt! My table went with the Jin Combo 2 because it had a good mix of beef and pork options. It's the priciest option but I don't have any regrets. It served 5 people pretty comfortably. I'm a sucker for bulgogi and the spicy pork bulgogi and grilled bulgogi were so so good. One of the pork cuts (might have been the pork jowl) visibly shrunk on the grill as it was cooking and it tasted amazing. All that being said, it is on the expensive side - $40 a person for my table of 5 for a combo plate. Maybe it's less authentic, but I've enjoyed Manna a lot in the past - it was cheaper and all you can eat, so you had the chance to try a little bit (a lotta bit) of everything at Manna. At Jin you had to commit to a combo or order things a la carte and get served a set amount of meat (though the portion was definitely enough to fill my table of 5). I would probably keep going to Manna in the future because of the price and all you can eat style, but I think the quality of the meat was better overall here at Jin. read more

Jin BBQ - Jin Combo 2 - Korean Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

"Koreans must spend a lot of time washing dishes." ― Jimmy Kimmel, Ugly Delicious Did you know that Jin BBQ was ranked #1 Korean restaurant for Arizona on Yelp's Top KBBQ list for the year 2022? Jin BBQ is pretty legit. Our table ordered the Jin Combo 2 ($150). Although there were four of us, there was a surplus of food! It was a meat paradise and it was a delicious one at that. I like that you can get more corn cheese and steamed egg whenever you change your grill. Gimme that cheese! Gimme ALL the cheese! Service needs a little work though. There was one really hardworking guy and one girl that tried to run away and avoid eye-contact. This place also gets pretty warm so try to avoid sitting by the doors and windows. read more

We had never had Korean BBQ where we had to cook our own food...I didn't like the idea and didn't have any idea of what to do...cue the very friendly and helpful staff! They had lots of suggestions and were very helpful! They put me at ease and I enjoyed cook my own food. Seemed kind of pricey but we got a lot of food /"and it was all very delicious!!! It was a great dinner and a show! I will definitely be back! Try it, you will be glad you did! read more

Really enjoyed Jin BBQ. We came as a group of 11 so had to wait roughly ~20 minutes or so which wasn't too bad since the alternative would have been 2.5 hours at another place. Menu was extensive and covered all the typical favorites at a Korean establishment. We ordered one of the combos each for our two tables and went from there. Sides were great and kept coming so be sure to eat and reorder. They are part of the meal so you will not be charged extra. The daikon radishes were amazing and was a nice alternative to the lettuce wraps I usually do with my grilled meats. Meats are fresh and really delicious - the pork belly and bulgogi were on point. One thing to consider is you will be cooking your own meats here so be sure there are 1-2 people that can help with that as it can get a bit smokey. Overall Jin BBQ was fun, lively and had excellent customer service. Go enjoy some good eats with your friends and family read more
