Jin Cook has been on my list for years and it still exceeded expectations. Garlic suyuk: 10/10. Best suyuk I've ever had. I normally have bossam instead of suyuk but I prefer suyuk because it's nice and warm. The sauces with it were amazing and I love the vegetables this came with. Brisket hot stone: 9/10. Also amazing. They mix it for you and it's delicious. Maybe just a little too much sesame oil, though. The service was above and behind. Everyone was soooo nice and lovely. I really enjoyed my time there. Ambiance is very casual and homey. The food took a bit of time to get to the table but it's because they make everything from scratch individually. The wait was insane. We were lucky that we got there a few minutes before opening. Parking is abundant and free since it's in a shopping center with an Albertsons. The best part is that they gave a cute little homemade rice cake for Mothers Day. They only made it just that morning and it made me very happy to see them give it to my mom. I can't wait to come here again. 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

Jin Cook - Chogye Cold Noodles & Banchan - so good! - Korean Near Me - Buena Park, California

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

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

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

Really great kalbi jjim!! Went right when it opened for lunch at 11:30 on a Sunday and people were already queuing up...very popular spot. They don't take reservations so go early or be prepared to wait. The food took a long time to make too. Service was kind of weird... the guy didn't bring us basic stuff we asked for and I had to ask again. Seafood pancake was good but I would skip the garlic pork... it was kind of bland even with the garlic dip. read more

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

Spent lunchtime here, cozy atmosphere that brought me so much joy and comfort throughout the meal. Everyone was kind, thoughtful and wonderful! Banchan was SO YUMMYYY, I truly could have just ate that and been so content haha. The Japchae was packed with flavor from noodles to mushroom and incredibly delicious. Cold noodle was a nice refreshing addition also with incredible flavor and great balance of savory and slight tang. Next time I can't wait to try the garlic suyuk & the various pancakes! 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

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

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

The food here was absolutely delicious and full of flavor Every dish came out hot, fresh, and generous in portion. From the beef bone soup, grilled ribs, and tteokbokki to the pork belly, everything was seasoned perfectly and tasted very authentic Korean-style, not bland at all. The meat was especially tender, juicy, and so satisfying to eat. Even the side dishes were really good, and they gladly refilled them. What impressed me the most was the service. Every staff member was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and attentive. They were always checking in and ready to help with anything. The atmosphere felt warm and cozy, the food came out quickly, and overall it was such a comfortable and enjoyable dining experience. No wonder people are willing to wait so long to eat here. Definitely a place worth coming back to read more

Come early because the wait gets a little ridiculous. Jin Cook does offer some of the best Korean food in the Cerritos area so expect to wait if you come anytime near rush hour. We arrived at 4pm on a Saturday because of kids and we still had to wait a few mins to get seated. By the time we finished around 5:30pm, the wait outside was pretty crazy. There must've been 10 parties waiting. Onto the food, the taste is outstanding. It's probably one of the better Korean food restaurants outside of K-Town in LA. You can't go wrong with any of the dishes, but special shout out the seafood pancake. While pricey, the taste was incredible. A lot of restaurants make a sub-par seafood pancake, but not Jin Cook. It was fantastic. read more

This is our favorite Korean Food comfy spot! We even ate here for our anniversary dinner. The wait is worth it, but if you would want to dodge the timing I suggest avoiding the dinner rush. We ALWAYS order the Spicy Braised Short Rib + Cheese. It is a MUST! It's so good even as leftovers. Serving size is for 4 people but we have it as our lunch/dinner next day. The beef is so tender and bustling with flavor! The panchan are excellent combinations with the short rib. Depending on the day, we order the Katsu Curry or Garlic SuYuk. The Katsu Curry is so flavorful and the curry feels nice and home-y. The Garlic SuYuk is soft and melts in your mouth. The flavor is amazing when you create your own perfect bite. The restaurant itself is nice and cozy, the lighting isn't too dark and I do recommend a sweater if it's the colder months, however I'd rather layer up than be heating up eating this delicious food. Our servers are always so kind and welcoming! It feels like you are eating at your loving auntie's house and they just want to make sure you're just at home. We love Jincook and so happy they expanded from Glendale to Buena Park. See ya soon! read more

This spot is located in a plaza with plenty of parking. Don't come too hungry because it's gonna be a wait! There was 19 people ahead of us. Waited an hour and a half to get seated. There's a good amount of tables. For small groups and big groups. We ordered and our food came out in increments and so some of us were halfway done and others were left waiting. I noticed this with other tables too. I got to try the chicken kalkooksoo, Jin cook kalkooksoo, mushroom curry, and pork and fish curry. The portions are pretty good and flavors and homey. The servers were kind, but there were 4 times we've asked for water, sides, utensils. They forgot. Food was good, but the service and wait wasn't worth it. read more

Sunday - Wednesday 11:30 am - 9:30 pm Thursday 11:30 am - 11:00 pm Friday - Saturday 11:30 am - 12:00 pm The cheese brisket tteokbokki was honestly the star gooey, rich, and completely mouth-watering. The cheese melts into the sauce perfectly and every bite hits. The spicy pork also had great flavor with a nice level of heat. The sides dish the best was the kimchi was seasoned really well too -- balanced and not overly salty, which I always appreciate. Walking up, the neon OPEN sign glowing through the window gives the place a cozy late-night comfort spot vibe. Inside, the rustic wooden interior makes it feel warm and relaxed -- the kind of place you can sit, eat, and actually enjoy the atmosphere. Service was great. Tim helped my friend pick a dish and was super friendly with an easy smile and great personality. Another plus: portion sizes are generous, so you definitely leave satisfied. (Also my friend said the side dishes here BEATS BCD TOFU HOUSE. ) Delicious food Cozy rustic vibe Friendly service Great portions Solid spot -- would definitely come back.

Was here Thursday lunch and decided to bring my boyfriend there to try it and he loved it a lot that we came back the next day again on (Friday night)! Again, service was amazing, welcoming, and the best! We came around 830 and waited an hour. It didn't really bother us since we understand how busy it is on weekends especially nights. I ordered my usual beef stone plate and spicy tofu soup, and my partner ordered the katsu curry plate and we also ordered the steamed dumplings. First time trying the dumplings and the katsu and both were delicious! The nice lady in the black cardigan helped me mix my beef stone plate which was very kind of her. We ordered so much food and the nice man helped pack our food to go. This place never disappoint me. So far this restaurant is my favorite Korean restaurant and next time I'll try other foods on the menu. I can't wait to bring more of my friends in here to try it out. read more

Definitely worth the wait time they have! Came here on a Thursday around 7:30pm, the wait for two was about 30mins but it was worth it! I've heard so many things about this place and how I should try it. I finally had the time to and it did not disappoint! Food wise EVERYTHING WAS DELICIOUS! This was one of my first time eating Korean food like this. I usually go to bcd or just get Korean fried chicken. So to try this was definitely an eye opener to Korean comfort food! We got the pork belly, garlic soy marinated chicken and the beef sundubu. (Spell check?) each item was a 10/10. The banchan as well! I can't wait to come back and try the short rib. Ambiance, restaurant is not that big, but not that small either. Reason why wait time is long sometimes is because it isn't that big of a restaurant.

It was our first time here at Jin Cook and our group had an amazing experience here! The manager (I believe) was very warm and welcoming. I let him know it was our first time and he took great care of us. Our server Tim was super helpful and checked on us often. Food was DELICIOUS! Dare I say this is the best korean food I've ever had. Galbijjim - 10000/10, We got the non spicy no cheese since we had some dietary restrictions in our group, but it was still SO good and the meat was super tender! Rose Tteokbokki - 10/10, personally I'm a fan of thicker sauces but even though this one was more soupy I still really enjoyed it! The flavor is amazing and tteok was cooked to perfection Seafood pancake - 10/10, super crispy and I love that it's on the thicker side, good amount of seafood in it The portions are large and family size, more than enough for the five of us.

Been going thru a "pork crazed" and wanted to try a new place outside of Sookdal and Samgyeojib, found this place and was intrigued. Small little restaurant but their menu is packed with Korean comfort foods, so right off the bat - I was excited! Got their Garlic Suyuk and Military Soup, two words - mouthwatering explosion! The pork is tender and melt...in...your...mouth...worthy! The flavor in their military soup was on point and the meats (pork meatballs, sausages and spam), you can tell that was cooked with the broth because all the flavors were soaked in every bite. The service was fast and super friendly, they checked on us often to ensure we had refills of their banchan. We were there on a Wednesday night and the restaurant got busy around 6ish, so definitely expect a wait during dinner rush. Definitely will be returning to try many of their other dishes.

I've been to Jin Cook in Glendale before, but it had been years, so I was happy when my friend suggested the Buena Park location for lunch. We visited on a Thursday afternoon and were seated right away. The menu looked great, and our eyes were bigger than our stomachs, so we decided to share three dishes: the chicken soup, bulgogi stone pot, and the katsu curry with both pork and fish. The banchan arrived with the chicken soup, followed shortly by the rest of our entrées. The chicken soup was warm and comforting, the bulgogi stone pot rice was flavorful and satisfying, but the standout dish for us was definitely the katsu curry. The banchan included kimchi, spicy cucumber, sliced radish with onions, and spicy radish. My friend loves spicy banchan, and the waitress was more than happy to keep refilling them for us. We had plenty of leftovers, which my husband happily enjoyed for dinner later that day. I'll definitely need to visit my friend more often so we can come back to Jin Cook again. I already have my eye on the bulgogi pancakes for next time! read more

This place is so cool! I love the ambiance here because it feels like a traditional Korean pub. Some of my friends have been here and recommended this place for late night eats. When I first entered, there was complimentary hot corn tea, which tasted like barley tea (I love). Although there are no reservations, they were able to accommodate and seat seven of us within about 20 minutes. I ordered the brisket tteokbokki without cheese or ramen (they were additional costs), and it came out quickly. The serving portions are very large, and this was enough for 2-3 meals.

Small restaurant that fills up quickly in the evenings so try to come earlier before the rush if you can! Korean comfort food is the perfect description. Once you're done here you'll feel very cozy, satisfied, and happy. Our favorites are the bulgogi pancake (we love it since it's a different spin off of the usual seafood pancake), the tofu soup (so flavorful), the cheese stuffed katsu curry (so crispy), and the spicy pork bulgogi. One dish we tried, the regular hot stone bulgogi plate, was oddly lacking much flavor. I think it needs more sauce. Other than that dish, everything was phenomenal! read more

Jin Cook is genuinely such a cozy, authentic Korean spot to enjoy a meal. I can see why the place was so busy and people would wait just to dine here. It was my first time visiting this specific establishment but I was impressed how quick the service was and how quick the food was delivered to our table. My favorite is the Sweet Potato Cheese Curry Katsu, I enjoyed it so much the first time I had it, I had to order it again! The katsu is so crispy and the curry is so flavorful. I also had a Brisket Tteokbokki and Seafood Pancake which I thought was delicious! I love how Jin Cook makes their seafood pancakes and plate it on a cast iron which keeps in warm but also crispy, just the one I like my pancakes! With the food so delicious, it definitely justify the wait for me. But hopefully next time I come, the wait wouldn't be as long. Jin Cook is such a solid Korean soul food chain! read more

Seeing as Buena Park is considered the new 'Korea town,' we decided to get Korean food and settled on a traditional Korean restaurant. I wasn't disappointed overall, though the portion sizes were generous and the flavors didn't quite live up to my expectations. There are some dishes I'm so used to having in Seoul that are just hard to match anywhere else. We ordered the bibimbap, seafood pancake, and braised short rib. The food was decent, but the prices were on the higher end. read more
