    Steamed egg
    Claire C.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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!

    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!

    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!

    Banchan

    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!

    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. The banchan is excellent and the meat cuts are great! The place is not super big but I believe they take reservations if you have a big group. My new go to kbbq place.

    Brisket

    Great service and food. Meat quality was fire. Would come back again for the vibes and food for sure.

    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

    Love the new menu change amazing portions, tasty banchan. Been a regular here for a while and new changes are very exciting will be back more!!! Servers are always killing it

We ordered the rice cake & dumpling soup, jokbal, spicy beef soup, and the hangover ramen. The rice cake & dumpling soup was nice and comforting. I liked the texture of the rice cakes--really chewy--and the dumplings were good too. It was our first time trying jokbal. Honestly, we didn't know what to expect, but we ended up liking it. The portion was huge, and the pork was tender and tasty. The spicy beef soup had a bit of a kick, and the hangover ramen was also good. The broth was rich, and there were a lot of ingredients in it. Everything we tried was good, and I'm glad we came to try this place.

My friends and I came to this place together because I had been before and liked the Korean food here. Food was legit and was a good experience previously. However, the day we came in, the waitress got my friend's order wrong as my friend wanted the bibimbap but the waitress heard something else and brought out a soup. When my friend immediately told her that isnt what she ordered, the waitress (new) proceeded to argue with my friend. I watched incredulously as things started to unfold. The waitress even asked my friend to pronounce bimbimpap again and told her she should learn how to pronounce it better. She kept arguing wirh my friend and mind you, waitess wasnt Korean or Korean American. At this point, I had to step in, as I also heard my friend say bibimbap clearly. The waitress didnt know what she was talking about and at the same time was being rude as heck to my friend. Then, my other friend shows up and orders a bibimpap. When the bibimpap is brought out, I asked her to bring some gochujang for my friend. I didnt know if my friend would like this chili paste, so wanted her to have the option to try it. The waitress again decided to argue about this and at this point, she was really testing my nerve. She said bibimpap doesn't come with gochujang and I am like thinking are you crazy, woman? I am not Korean but I have been eating Korean food for 30+ years, I know what I am talking about. She then asked me to repeat gochujang several times and I was very annoyed at this point. Its like, look lady, you dont know what youre talking about, stop sticking your foot in your mouth and come on, be nice to your customers! Because of this terrible behavior, I asked to speak to a manager, a woman came over and listened to what happened and apologized and thats how we found out she was new. I was beyond frustrated at this point. Despite the horrible service, I still left a 10% tip, but honestly the waitress deserves zilch and needed more training. The food is solid here but I wont be returning with that kind of behavior, I can choose where my money goes, and these days with it being so hard to get by, good luck to this place as I am not coming back.

The beef soup was very good - tofu was ultra soft and silky. I loved the spice level and they bonchon was also definitely worth trying. I would recommend getting extra salad dressing on the side and getting the lettuce plate (which is an extra $3.5) for the meat unless you want to eat it with the pre-tossed salad. Huge fan of the ginseng spirit. Not their typical 40-53% though, so be sure to know the difference. They also served me a different one than what I had in the flight which tasted and looked different (it was murkier vs clear when ordered in the full bottle) and the bottle is def 13%. Service is on pointe - never needed to ask for anything other than another box and if you're trying to hear someone on a first date I wouldn't recommend coming here, but the general ambiance is fun and worth a try with good friends and family. Definitely will try again for other menu items.

They are a little further than I typically would have gone for delivery, but we figured it would travel well and were craving something from our usual Mexican food fix. I cannot speak for the interior or vibe of the space, but takeout was great. We ordered two bowls with bulgogi beef. You can choose your own base, veggies and sauces, so very customizable! I got part brown rice and greens with every veggie option I could get! I was unable to add an egg on the delivery platform, (maybe due to poor traveling?), though it does look like they may offer this in person. We then got some kimchi fries to share. You also get your option of protein on this, which we had selected chicken bulgogi. Shortly after placing order, we received a call from the Bibio team that they were out of a few sauces we had selected, as well as the chicken bulgogi, we made some quick substitutes and upon delivery they had included some complimentary mandu which were delicious and a really kind gesture and really went the extra mile without having to. Overall, everything we got was delicious, flavorful, awesome portions and great as leftovers. The kimchi fries were very good, but I think better for dining in, as most fries are, so I would absolutely order and try them again on an in person visit, but maybe avoid for long drives. Thanks so the great Bibio team for a wonderful first experience and extra great service even while dining out!
