Great spot and food! Joon was v helpful and helped select their top dishes and korean drinks for us! Def coming back with the gang!

The food is delicious at jin cook and everyone is always so kind and welcoming. Especially our waiter Matthew he is the best !

I've been here multiple times and have worked my way through a good portion of the menu, including the short ribs, garlic pork belly, beef brisket hot stone pot, and tofu soup. Everything I've had has been excellent, and I've even gone back to order some of the same dishes again. The food tastes authentic, the staff is always friendly, and there's still plenty on the menu I want to try. This is one of my go-to Korean restaurants, and I'd definitely recommend it. read more

I tried Jin Cook after spending a long day at Knotts, and it was what I needed to recharge! The kalguksu came with a good amount of noodles and seafood with a good chewy texture. I was a little disappointed in the soup, I thought it was lacking in depth of flavor, and I also wish it was a little smoother. I also tried the spicy tofu soup, which I thought was better and had a great broth! The wait wasnt too long on a sunday at 6pm, we were able to be seated after around 20 minutes. Service was attentive and we were able to quickly get refills on our banchan! Overall it's a solid Korean restaurant, but I think there are better spots in Buena Park's ktown. read more

Still love the food here! The service continues to be great, and the food is just as delicious as ever. If you want to avoid a long wait, I highly recommend coming before 5 p.m. We arrived before then and had no trouble getting seated, but the waitlist started growing not long after. This time we ordered the bulgogi hot stone, pork curry katsu, spicy galbi jjim, and a seafood pancake. Everything came out piping hot, which is always appreciated. The dishes were served as they were ready rather than all at once, but we actually preferred it that way. Some items definitely take longer to prepare, so it gave us the chance to enjoy each dish while it was fresh and hot instead of having everythingwait to be finished and then being served. The bulgogi hot stone was flavorful and loaded with tender beef and vegetables. If was a good choice, but not the star of today's meal. The spicy galbi jjim continues to be one of our favorites. It has the same great balance of sweetness and spice that keeps us coming back. The beef was tender, the rice cakes were perfectly chewy, and the vegetables soaked up all of the delicious sauce. Love the pumpkin and potato, but they almost always disintegrate in the sauce, so I'm always happy to find any pieces. We also got the pork curry katsu this time, and it did not disappoint. The pork was juicy, the breading stayed crispy, and the rich curry sauce paired really well with the crunchy cutlet. The seafood pancake was another solid choice. It came out crispy around the edges while staying soft inside, with plenty of seafood throughout. It's still one of my favorite appetizers to share. Overall, another excellent meal. The food has remained consistently delicious, the service was attentive, and everything arrived fresh and hot. I'll definitely keep coming back! read more

My fiancé and I came on weekday night and it was packed, but surprisingly was able to get seated within 15 min. Try not to come on the weekend because you will have to wait greater than 30 min. I wish there was a Yelp waitlist that can be joined. We both got the braised short ribs w/ cheese to share. It took a while to come out and we were hungry! We were just filling up on sides. When it came out, they torched the cheese to melt into the meat. I wish the cheese was more melted, but it was still a nice addition to this dish. The meat was not as tender as expected in the beginning, but the ones on the rib were really good! I definitely will be back to try out other dishes. Seems like they have a lot of soup on the menu so gotta try it out on a day that's not too busy! read more

This place is popular for a reason! Even at opening, people start lining up. The ambiance of the restaurant makes you feel like you've transported to Korea! The ceiling is lined with Korean rooftops, there are shop signs and traditional Korean dolls displayed along the walls. One of their most popular dishes is their Braised Beef Short Rib. The meat is super tender and flavorful! We added cheese that that they torch table side with charcoal to give it a smoky flavor! They also have a variety of katsus. We got the Sweet Potato Cheese Curry Katsu. I like the sweetness from the sweet potato and the savory curry sauce. Huge portion sizes! They also have a new Chicken Pancake which I haven't seen at other Korean restaurants. The Kimbap Jeon is also new! I really liked this one. It's a kimbap that's battered and fried. It comes with a yummy dipping sauce as well. I'm a big fan of their banchan! They have kimchi, cucumber kimchi, radish kimchi, and pickled jalapenos. So tasty and refreshing! They give refills of these! Service is friendly! Plenty of parking in the shopping plaza's parking lot. read more

Overall, the food was delicious, and staff were kind and tentative! Throughout our meal, different staff members would check up on us whenever they passed our table! Although when I think about it, we were seated near the doorway, so maybe that was why haha. Friends and I ordered 4 dishes- the seafood pancake, Jin Cook beef hot stone, garlic soy chicken and chogye cold noodle soup. Everything was so yummy and filling! The seafood pancake stayed hot and crunchy the whole time it was on the hot plate, and the cold noodles were refreshing! The hot stone and garlic soy chicken were flavorful! Side dishes were yummy as well. I loved the kimchi! There's lots of parking space in the plaza where the resuarant is located! The restaurant itself is a bit small and pretty busy, so wait time can be a bit long. Luckily, our party didnt have to wait too long to seated! Our food took about 25 minutes to come out though- it seems like they try to bring out all the dishes to the table at the same time. Nonetheless, my friends and I enjoyed our experience there! read more

Yum! Came on a weekend night near closing and it wasn't too busy. Friendly service and easy parking in plaza with clean bathrooms. Banchan is pretty limited and prices can be a little on the higher end but many of the dishes are family style. We got: -- mushroom japchae: pleasantly surprised by how much we liked this dish! rly delicious and the sesame oil doesn't overpower the dish -- beef soup: clean flavor & my fav korean dish to order at restaurants! super hearty -- seafood pancake: would skip next time. too many onions for my liking + i prefer this dish at other restaurants -- brisket tteokbokki: friends rly like rice cakes so they ordered this dish and enjoyed it. wish there was more broth but still p good. we added cheese and they grill it for you at the table! brisket is cooked nicely. Overall, very enjoyable experience with good food. :) read more

- Rose Tteokbokki - creamy. Not too spicy. Soft and chewy, wish rice cake was more soft - Kal guk soo - noodles are soft and well cooked, 2 pork dumplings were big, good comfort food - Garlic Sukyu - 1st time seeing meat with the broth, so soft and melts in mouth, flavorful - Spicy Galbi Jjim - not too spicy, on the sweeter side, savory, meat is easy pull apart and melts in mouth. Proportions are off but glad theres more meat (even on the bones vs. Other places), usually on pricier ends so this was good for its worth - Spicy Pork Hot Stone - not too spicy, on sweeter side, savory - Came here on a weekend and we wanted to sit together so we had to wait a while longer. It gets busy so come early to put your name on the waitlist. There's plenty of seating and parking. - More on the family style but there's also individual portions as well. - Provide refreshments while waiting, everything is made fresh to order. read more

We ordered the beef tofu soup and spicy beef soup, the beef quality in the tofu soup was not my favorite but, still acceptable. Bun chin options were nice and majority of them were tasty, the radish kimchi was a bit too vinegar forward. Service was friendly and helpful. Clean restaurant and restroom. Smaller establishment, had a fair amount of two top booths. Prices are average in comparison to other Korean places, other than the seafood pancake, that was $28 which we felt was a bit high for the size and quality. Large free parking lot for easy access. read more

This was my first time eating here at Jin Cook and it did not disappoint! We waited about 30-40 minutes for dinner on a Wednesday night which was worth the wait.

Very good. Not many fellow Koreans in the restaurant so I had my doubts but the food was really good and very reasonably priced (standards are Bay area though). Ordered budaejjigae and the garlic soy chicken, both of which were very good! Sometimes budaejjigae can taste strongly of MSG but this one definitely did not. Kids gobbled up the garlic soy chicken, which I appreciated had vegetables (mushrooms and onions). Waitresses were all very kind and kid friendly. Only one downside was the banchan, which even though was delicious, was all spicy so the little kids couldn't eat. read more

Stopped by Jin Cook at 11:48 and didn't actually sit until 12:25 so yeah... if you're going on a Saturday give yourself plenny time. They're known for the garlic suyuk (pork belly) but you kinda need a full squad for that, so we kept it lighter and got the spicy pork hot stone and soondofu. I REALLY wanted to try the ttaro gukbap though-- one of those homey Korean comfort meals you weirdly don't see on restaurant menus that often. Honestly fine because now I already know what I'm getting next time. The spicy pork was super good. No weird porky gaminess at all. They spark the charcoal right there so everything gets that smoky flavor, plus it looks hella cool when they bring it out. The soondofu is thicccccc too--tasted like there was a little doenjang in there. Super savory. Banchan was solid across the board. Garlicky, balanced, not sad filler banchan. Prices are pretty reasonable. Only thing that gives me pause is the wait because this place gets slammed, bc it isn't big and the turnover isn't fast--but if you're craving it, you will be satisfied. read more

Parking: Easy, open and free I came here when I was on the verge of a sore throat. This casual but homey place didn't change my life but it definitely made me feel better. The tofu soup wasn't quite the typical style like BCD or Young Dong but good! It was different. The broth just had a different base. I do recommend it if you're craving it. I ordered the kalguksu. This was good but it had a very shrimpy taste which was hearty but not what I expected. I think I was looking for less of a seafood experience. Finally, I ordered the katsu. I did a fish and pork katsu. I WAS SURPRISED about how much I liked the fish katsu. This is something I would return for. It was crispy but not oily. It was filling and the fish came with a tartar sauce. The banchan was great. I love a place that is kind with the refills. Service was busy and they did their best. Chef's kiss. All in all, I would come back. read more

Came here via car for dinner with a party of 3 for dinner on a Sunday in early May 2026. Parking lot was big and free. There was a line when we arrived and we were seated after waiting about 40 minutes. After being seated and ordering, the food took about 20 minutes to arrive but it was so worth it. We ordered the Garlic SuYuk, the Chogye Cold Noodles, and the Garlic Soy Chicken. It all came out to $101.49. The Garlic SuYuk and the Chogye Cold Noodles were our favorite. For the Cold Noodles, they cut the noodles at the table for you. For the Garlic SuYuk, they brought it out sizzling. We probably wouldn't order the Garlic Soy Chicken again just because it wasn't what we expected. We thought it was going to be deep fried but it wasn't - our mistake. The meal definitely hit the spot though. The service was great. The banchan was good. They refill them for free along with the sauces for Garlic SuYuk. The Garlic SuYuk and Garlic Soy Chicken both came with rice. We were so chill by the end. Definitely would come back here. read more

Jincook is a solid Korean spot worth the visit. We got the garlic suyuk, jalapeno cheese katsu, and galbi jjim and everything was really good. Food quality was on point and the servers were friendly throughout the meal. Parking is plenty bc it's in a big parking lot with other stores which is always a plus. Only complaint is the wait can get long since there aren't many seats inside. I've only been to this location not the other ones in LA so cannot speak on that. The ambiance is nice, plenty of space for food and has a lively atmosphere read more

We had a party of 9 and they were able to accommodate us quickly during lunch time. We did get there right when it opened and luckily we did because it got packed fast! We ordered the beef short rib soup, seafood pancake, braised short rib, garlic suyuk, sweet potato cheese curry katsu and hotteok for dessert. The portions were big enough to share between our big party and we were all verrrrry full after! Service was very fast. The place was clean and I liked how the place was designed to look like a real Korean pub. I'd like to try going here at night since I saw they close late on the weekends. read more

What can I say? Yelp 100 top places. Not a surprise. Third? Fifth? visit. Lunch in a random Wednesday. Waited untill 11:30am opening. Same great service. Friendly helpful staff. Same great food. Four (4) banchan served: Kimchi (good fresh), Korean radish kimchi (good fresh), cucumber oi muchin (yummy fresh), marinated Korean radish kimchi Jang aji (not spicy perfect for my MIL, soy sauce brined) also fresh. I say fresh because I've been to places with perhaps low turnover where the kimchi seemed aged ( old?). My MIL ordered her fav- Kalbi, marinated short ribs. GREAT flavor, tender meat considering its short ribs. Always a winner. Ordered the brisket tteokbokki added ramen. Torched at table side with bincho charcoal. Which was fun. Ate the ramen first so it wouldn't get soggy. Plenty of yummy thin sliced brisket. Nice chewy rice cake, eomuk-flat fish cake, veggies, hard cooked egg in a yummy gochujang, gochugaru dashing broth. VERY tasty. The true test was a large group (25-ish?) older Koreans came in after a funeral. The guy said they made a reservation. The waitress was a bit stressed cuz they don't take reservation! Anyway, the staff accommodated them filling tables here and there. I told her we're done so they could seat another 4 at least. Old people know their own cultures food. I know whether a Japanese place is legit or an Americanized version. Korean food has been a favorite of mine for over 40 years before BTS, kdramas made it cool. This is why Jin Cook made the Yelp 100 list. It's GOOD! read more

Great Korean food in Buena Park! Jin Cook is a familiar franchise with multiple locations in the area. They serve a variety of Korean cuisine. The layout and decorations of the restaurant convey a "home-like" feel to them, making it great for get togethers with friends and family alike. Sometimes, there is a small wait and they are still on a paper waitlist basis. While waiting, make sure to enjoy their free tea offered right outside of their establishment! After being seated, we were served in an adequate amount of time. For this instance, I tried the Jalapeno Cheese Curry. The curry was especially delightful! Hot off the skillet, the curry was full of flavor and paired well with the katsu. The delivery of the dish was great as you can have it fresh off of the skillet, making each bite nice and hot. Highly recommend for those in the area looking to get some great Korean food with friends / family! read more

I'm from Vegas so I'm not sure how to compare prices to other places, but it feels a little expensive compared to Vegas. With that said...the food quality is OUT OF SIGHT!! I see why it was packed at 9pm just before closing. They still sat us and the service was great. Food came out quickly. Portion sizes are great!! I'm not shamed to admit we are food snobs and everyone in our party LOVED their food. The marinated dumplings were delicious, we would likely get them almost every time if we lived close. This will not be our last time eating here WORTH THE WAIT!!!! read more

Great place to go to for a late night dinner! The interior is nice and clean with a cozy atmosphere. This time I tried the mushroom and tofu soup and it was good. I was looking for a lighter dish and I think this dish was just right for me. The broth has a deep umami flavor from the boiled down mushrooms. The tofu was soft and easy to eat. It comes with a bowl of rice which had just the right texture to it. They also offer ban chan which was nice as well. I've been to the yorba linda location before and I would say that the two locations offer pretty much the same menus and service. Service was good with friendly staff. I do like the variety they have on the menu, so I'm excited to come back and try their other dishes. read more

Delicious and satisfying. This place has great food at what can be a reasonable price. There's quite a bit of food but enough to split into two meals. It's located in a strip with plenty of free parking. We were seated immediately (but I believe that may not always be the case; I've heard they can get very busy and there would be a wait). The setting is comfortable and a great place for family and friends. The Bonchon are very good and compliment the main dishes well. I went with the spicy pork hot stone (delicious), while everyone else got the jincook beef hot stone. Needless to say we all left with smiles on our faces. read more

They don't take reservations so go early or be prepared to wait. The food took a long time to make too.

I liked: Braised Beef Short Rib / Kalbijim Came here for the Braised Beef Short Rib (Kalbijim) and honestly it's a bit of everything in one dish. The meat quality is solid, super tender, and I liked that it came with cheese and rice cakes mixed in. It's definitely satisfying, but a bit one note flavor-wise. The side dishes were just ok. Nothing bad, but they all kinda leaned into the same spicy profile. I would've liked to see more variety like fish cake, bean sprouts, or seaweed to balance things out. It left me wanting something a little different on the table. Service was good though. They were really busy when I went, but still made the effort to check in on us, which I appreciated. Overall a solid spot if you're craving kalbijim, just wish the banchan had more variety. #goodeats read more

We arrived right at opening on a Saturday with our family (4 people). The restaurant quickly filled up! We were serviced really quickly, and the place felt very homey and comforting. We ordered the Braised Beef Short Rib Hot Stone, Garlic SuYuk, and Garlic Soy Chicken. All the dishes were absolutely delicious. We want to give a highlight on the chicken-- tender, smoky, and flavorful! Before serving, they used a blowtorch + what I believe to be charcoal to add extra charcoal flavor on top of the chicken. We did not expect this dish to be the best. The Garlic SuYuk is a bit on the bland side, but paired with the garlic they serve, makes it absolutely delicious. The Braised Beef dish had a variety of vegetables and rice cake, making it extremely filling. We will come back again! Jin, you can surely cook! read more

We went here for lunch and were impressed with the food quality and portion sizes. While we were the first in line for a table, there was still a short wait for us. The restaurant is small and busy with a few servers attending to all the tables. There was great Korean music playing in the background as well. We got the chicken vegetable bbim noodles ($18.95) and katsu combination with pork and chicken ($21.95). The banchan (radish, kimchi, and cucumbers) arrived at the same time as our main entrees. The banchan is flavorful and spicy; I especially enjoyed the cucumbers. The chicken vegetable bbim noodles came with a refreshingly cold soup broth. It was a lovely balance of spicy, sweet, and savory flavors due to the gochujang and seaweed garnish. The soup bowl was huge and came with an abundance of thin, long wheat noodles. One of the servers saw me eating the noodles and kindly showed me how to cut them with scissors. It's ideal to share the dishes since the portion sizes are so large. The pork and chicken katsu combination was delicious. With large pieces, I appreciated the shareable portion size. The seasoning of the chicken katsu breading was really tasty. I enjoyed the chicken noticeably more than the pork. Also, the sauce with its tangy and sweet flavors complemented the katsu very well. When it came to getting our bill, we had to follow up as one server forgot to bring it to us. Unfortunately, I also paid for the wrong bill on the smart terminal. I only realized this when I looked at the receipt that I had texted to myself after I had already left the restaurant. I decided to call and leave a message on social media. The server who answered my call said that I'd need to come back to the restaurant to get a partial refund. Thankfully, the manager called me the next day and explained the situation that me. After confirming the details, he processed a partial refund for the overage I paid. Despite the few shortfalls in service while at the restaurant, the manager definitely helped and resolved everything. I'm glad that my worries were ended without me having to drive back to the restaurant. read more

We got seated right away on a Wednesday night at 5pm, but by the time we left, there was a huge waitlist outside. What impressed me the most about this restaurant were the servers. They were so attentive and friendly, refilling our side dishes, water, and checking in on us. The brisket tteokbokki tasted amazing. The brisket was tender and pairs well when dipped in the sauce. The rice cakes were also cooked just right. The spicy pork hot stone had plenty of meat and was enough for leftovers with 2 ppl. I thought that the rice would be put on the bottom of the stone pot so it would crisp up. read more

The food was delicious and presented well. Seems like most dishes are family-style, but you can order individually, too. Garlic SuYuk ($42): 5/5. I highly recommend this sous vide pork belly, as it was tender, savory, and straight-up addicting. It paired nicely with the condiments and provided banchan. Sweet potato cheese curry katsu with rice ($26): 4/5. This was an interesting combination that turned out to be a yummy meal. Katsu was soft on the inside and crispy on the outside. I honestly liked the curry more than the sweet potato cheese katsu, but then again, I prefer savory foods over sweet ones when it comes to meals. A beef rib dish: 3/5. This was a bit too sweet for me, and it became messy and hard to eat. However, it was still a decent meaty addition to our table. Was topped with cheese that got brulee'd before serving. Korean-style fried chicken ($13): 5/5. Tasty, crunchy chunks of chicken were served with angel hair cabbage and a creamy dressing. We always enjoy an appetizer like this, even if it seems basic. The interior of this corner shop seemed small but had about 10 tables. Cute, festive decor were found amongst the modern wooden accents throughout the restaurant. It was bustling here! Even though we arrived between lunch and dinnertime on a Saturday, it was still crowded inside, with plenty of people waiting outside. Get your name written down and try some complimentary tea (they had hot corn tea when we were there). We were seated after waiting for half an hour. The female staff were kinda cold, the male staff were fortunately upbeat, but all of them were moving fast to serve food, clean tables, and seat the next customers. read more

Jin Cook - 갈비탕 / Beef Short Rib Soup / Gal Bi Tang - Korean Near Me - Buena Park, California

I finally tried this place after hearing so much about it. My husband and I came here around 7pm on a Tuesday and had to wait about 30 minutes to get seated. Be sure to pay attention to the wait list. We were waiting around right outside the entrance, and the worker skipped over my name and called for the next party of 2 that came 13 minutes after me (see picture). I made sure to check my phone too, and I didn't get any texts or calls from the restaurant. When I checked in, he simply said, "oh ok, you'll be next." We ordered the Garlic SuYuk ($41.95) and Beef Short Rib Soup/Galbitang ($22.95). I noticed that the waiters immediately brought out banchan to the table next to us (a Korean family), but they waited until they brought our dishes out to bring us banchan. The food was good, but nothing to write home about. I don't really understand the reviews about the portions here being huge; $42 for less than 30 pieces of thinly sliced pork belly seems criminal. The sauces that came with the pork belly were good, but they were kind of stingy with the amount given. Galbitang was fine but not the best I have had. Overall, I was not impressed with the food, prices, or service here. Our meal ended up being $85 for two people after tax and tip. My experience here was a huge miss, and I wouldn't recommend or come back to this place. read more

Jin Cook is probably one of the top korean restaurants for me in the LA area. The pork belly and short ribs are AMAZING. I also love their banchan and their galbi soup. We also got the katsu curry, but wasn't as excited for it. We definitely want to come back to try the cold noodles and pancakes in the future. Service is very warm and friendly. Wait times can be long so I recommend coming at opening or on weekdays. Free parking in the plaza. They have clean restrooms. 1000% will be back. read more
