I didn't realize they were open on weekends. My friend and I hadn't eaten lunch so we stopped in here after cocktails. Not busy at all. I ordered the chicken katsu while she got beef bulgogi. The portions are large! Hard to finish it all. But you get a lot for the price and the food comes out fast. It's definitely a unique option for lunch downtown. Especially if you're tired of sandwiches haha! Since it was a weekend I had parallel parked in front without an issue. read more

Jin Doshirak was a solid spot for Korean food in downtown Louisville. The food was fresh, well-seasoned, and the portions were generous. The bulgogi and side dishes were flavorful, and everything tasted like it was made with care. The service was friendly and the restaurant was clean and comfortable. The only reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 is that there were a few small details that kept the experience from feeling exceptional, but overall it was a very enjoyable meal. I'd definitely come back and would recommend it to anyone looking for authentic Korean food in Louisville. read more

The food here is unreal!! The atmosphere isn't anything special, but you don't need it when the food is this good. I haven't tried any sushi rolls yet, but they have a large variety. The $10 bulgogi bowls are great--a ton of meat and fills you up! I recently tried the bibimbap bowl; it's fantastic. My favorite thing on the menu is the boxes. You get a ton of different foods in a bento box for less than $20. It also comes with soup or salad. Their ginger salad is decent. Service is always great. You order at the counter and they bring the food to you. They're there if you need them, but they're not lingering. It seems like a lot of their business is carryout. read more

I've been here twice now and the food was excellent both times. I tried the spicy chicken box and the beef Bulgogi box. They come with various things on the side. I liked some of the things like kimchi and disliked others. For the price, it's a really great way to try out a variety of different things. The portions are generous. There's plenty of room to eat in the room to the side of where you order. The employees are helpful and kind. read more

This hole in the wall was a great find. I got the bulgogi box, and the meat was cooked and seasoned very well, with just the right amount of sweetness. Only issues here are limited seating and somewhat slow service. Overall, though, I strongly recommend Jim Doshirak. read more

This is a good plate of food at a good price. I liked the spicy pork plate. Very casual inside. Good place for a quick meal that tastes great. read more

I went for lunch and had the Teriyaki Steak Box and a house salad. I was there a bit before the normal lunch crowd typically shows up on a Tuesday. I found a table and listened to music while they prepared my food. The vegetables were good, the steak was good too. For $21.94 it was ok. For a quick place to stop and get something to eat it is OK. Not really a place to hang out for a long meal. read more

Best spicy pork and their lunch bowl deal is by far the best value in Louisville for Korean food! Love it here! read more

Please do not look any further if you want to experience the best Shrimp Tempura I have ever had. The Shrimp Tempura was made to perfection and extremely succulent, paired with the perfect sauce. The Honey Garlic wings were also amazing, which I had with a side of amazing miso soup. Additionally, I would also recommend the calamari. The selection of food they have here is absolutely delightful. The ambiance is a very clean aesthetic, surrounded with awesome art work. Korean food at it's finest. read more

Came in for lunch on a Saturday. Delicious spicy beef box. Super flavorful and great portions. Really enjoyed it.

Great concept to capture the downtown lunch crowd! It is an order at counter then pick up when a bell rings kind of concept. At around noon on Thursday, I got my lunch quickly. There is a large room next to the order room with plenty of seating for singles, couples as well as groups. My lunch box came with a choice of soup or salad also. The spicy pork belly was not all that spicy. I loved all the little bits of panchan, too. The bonus? They use that good, chewy Korean rice! Service was friendly and efficient. Food's quality and quantity both justify the price. My friend and I both agreed that we will be back. read more

A nice place to eat some great Korean food. Try the mandu!! They are awesome. The bulgogi is solid, and their spicyness level is perfect. I will say that the owner is a very nice man, and his family is professional and service-oriented. I think that they could cut down on costs by not packaging everything (including dine-in orders) in take-out packaging. There's a lot of plastic and styrofoam that goes into the trash barely having been used. I'm looking forward to going back for the japchae. read more

I eat here offer, everything is fairly priced and tastes good. Service is normally speedy and accurate. Plenty of seating for lunch or small crowds. I would define recommend. read more

As someone who works downtown, I always love to try new restaurants nearby my work. I walked in today around 1 pm for a late lunch. Hours listed are from 11 am - 2 pm. When I entered the lobby was empty and there were two employees behind the counter. It took me a few minutes to decide what to order. The menu currently consists of fried rice, bento boxes and sushi. The boxes come with house salad or soup, rice, two dumplings and Korean banchan. Boxes range from $13-18 each. I ordered the japchae box for $14, and selected a house salad. My order only took a few minutes to prepare and I was out the door. The house salad was a traditional salad you would get from a sushi or hibachi restaurant. Plain iceberg lettuce with a few carrots and yummy dressing. The bento box was delightful - each item had a compartment. The banchan includes kimchi, fish cakes, egg roll, and bean sprouts. All were good, but kimchi could have been spicier and more fermented. The japchae was traditional and perfect. I only wish soy sauce was included. Instead they included yum yum sauce, which I didn't use since I didn't order any meat. Finally, the fried dumplings were very good and you could taste the meat - very crispy even though I took my order to go. All in all, a yummy and fast Korean meal that was filling. Food is on the more expensive side, so won't be ordering frequently. If the portions were larger I could justify the price. Definitely would recommend a box if you're in the downtown area. read more

So good! Decided so have a lunch date in the park with myself and it was great! She was very friendly and the food came out quietly. Really loved the egg omg!! I could have eaten a plate full. Also that drink is so good it has peeled grapes in it and I really recommend it! Will be trying more bentos in the future! read more

Excellent food choices. Even sushi which was surprisingly good. Quick service but no alcohol so if you need a drink with your meal, try somewhere else. read more

We were looking for a light dinner and found this spot. I assume it's busy during lunch. Great variety of bento boxes. We had the Bulgaria beef one. Nice and flavorful. We were sharing and they were nice enough to give an extra bowl of miso soup on a frigid night! read more

Yummy food for a reasonable price! This local eatery has delicious bento boxes, sushi, and lots of internal seating. We were able to quickly order, find a seat, and eat at 6:30pm on Friday. The food was fresh, yummy, and the perfect portion. read more

The food here was really good! The store was very clean and service was quick. The bibimbap was excellent!

I really enjoyed having dinner here, the food was great and the service was fast and friendly. I would for sure come back and try other items off of the menu, I had the spicy pork and it was really good. The portion was large as well, I left full. read more

Really enjoyed this new bento place! Chicken katsu was delicious and crispy. Got the miso soup which was very flavorful. The toilet was leaking in the women's bathroom, hopefully they fix that soon, but all in all it's a great new spot to check out! read more

Jin Doshirak - Katsu bento with miso. - Korean Near Me - Louisville, Kentucky

We were looking for a spot to eat while I was in Louisville for a conference and my sister decided on Jin Doshirak, which was very close to the conference center. The restaurant is more of an order then sit down place, where you pick up your food when they have it ready but otherwise don't have a ton of service. The restaurant has a lot of nice quotes and decorations from Charlie and friends. I ordered the spicy pork box with an egg drop soup which came out to around $17 after tax before tip. It was a good variety of food, and I especially enjoyed the banchan and spicy pork. The egg drop soup is more of a miso soup with egg added, which I had no issues with but it isn't what I was expecting and very different from a traditional egg drop soup. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed my meal and thought the portion size and flavor were a good value for what I paid. I look forward to coming back if I'm ever in Louisville again! read more

Jin Doshirak - Spicy Pork Box - Korean Near Me - Louisville, Kentucky

This place will officially open on March 4, 2024, but I was happy to have the opportunity to eat the food here in advance. I am leaving this review to share what the food tasted like. -The chef worked at the "Charim" Korean restaurant in Louisville. So all the food dishes are really delicious, which comes from her experience. The two foods I would most recommend are Beef Bulgogi Box and Spicy Pork Box. In particular, Spicy Pork has a unique sweet and spicy taste. Japchae is a noodle product, so I recommend eating it as soon as possible. -Japanese Food (Sushi Menu): A male chef was previously the main chef at a Japanese restaurant in Osaka Downtown. From his experience, sushi rolls are fresh and delicious. -I also gave chicken wings to my kids using a to-go box, and they said they tasted like they used to in Korea. This is a Food Box restaurant where you can experience Japanese and Korean cuisine. Of course, you can eat inside the restaurant like a regular fast-food restaurant. read more

The food is good. It's a very casual order-at-the-counter, food comes on a tray style diner.

Awesome spicy chicken, delicious and super convenient. Everything we tried was great, the Teriyaki steak was also great.

Visiting from DC i was craving some Asian food and this place hit the spot! I got #12 which let me have 2 dumplings, spicy teokboki and kimbop. Everything was delish! Don't hesitate. Go try it. read more

Everything was delectable and clean atmosphere. Fried dumplings a bit too greasy but great taste. The portion was a bit too small for the price. read more

Outstanding food. We had Teryaki Shrimp and Bulgogi Beef. The soft shell crab Spider Roll was also very good. Very good value. Very pleasant service. read more

Decent place to get a quick meal in. Although the place seems to cater for take outs (all their food is in to go boxes), they have lots of seating and even plugs. Place is mostly self service, and food seems pretty affordable. I got the ramen and added fried chicken. I was expecting chicken cutlets since they had bento boxes but was disappointed to be served frozen chicken nugget type chicken. The ramen tasted just like shin ramen, but not as spicy. Definitely recommend going for the bentos in future. read more

We're in town for a convention and wanted some Korean food for lunch. We were so impressed!! The bulgogi lunch boxes are amazing. Big points for presentation; it all looked so nice. And the kimchi wasn't toned down like some places catering to an American palette, it was nice and strong. If we visit Louisville again we'll definitely be back! read more

This hidden gem has quickly become my go-to spot for lunch (or dinner). Every bento box I've tried has been fantastic! It's clear they put a lot of care into selecting the side dishes, because each one is delicious and complements the main course perfectly. I've devoured everything from the bulgogi to the japchae, and can't wait to work my way through the entire menu. Finding parking can be a bit of a challenge since it's street parking only. But trust me, the delicious food is absolutely worth the extra effort. Next time, I'm definitely trying their sushi rolls too! read more

This place is delicious. I had a great experience here. The atmosphere is very calm and perfect for date night or even a solo lunch run.

Great food! Went with friends and got several dishes to share. Ton Katsu Box - It had the perfect crisp with each bite. The sauce that came with it was also very tasty. Japchae Box - the glass noodles were so flavorful. If you're wanting to try authentic Korean food, I'd give this one a shot. Kimchi Fried Rice - if you like kimchi, or would like to try, you won't be disappointed. One of the best I've had. I'll definitely be going back! read more

Cannot understand the great ratings, unless you remind yourself you are in Kentucky, where unless it's American standard menu, good luck on finding quality. Katsu was overly breaded, oily and tough. Spider roll was loaded with artificial crab vs. fried softshell. Hardly any real crab to be found. Dynamite roll was bad. The eel was NOT fresh. Extremely fishy, even could smell it, thus frozen. Never returning, should have known better. read more

It's disappointing that you don't keep the restaurant open for business during the listed hours. I called the restaurant twice on my drive in and no one answered the phone. I arrived at 1:50 PM before your closing time of 2 PM that is clearly posted on the door. Imagine my surprise when the door was locked. I managed to get the employee's attention, he came to the door, and told me that he was not taking any more orders. I made a concerted effort to give my hard earned money to the restaurant. The restaurant business is tough enough, but it's even tougher when you don't keep regular hours and turn paying customers away. Good luck - you'll need it with these crummy business and customer service practices. read more

Great food! Good service! A great place for lunch around the corner from the Convention Center.

Great food and welcome addition to the (dead) downtown food/lunch scene! Good amount of food for the price, especially considering the other options available. Always fresh and good service, as well. read more

We called in our order for pick up to take back to our hotel. The dinner order was ready in 10 minutes and packaged well with utensils and sauces. We had the spicy pork dinner, the beef bulgogi and bib bin bop. All were fresh and came with traditional side dishes including Kim chee, dumplings and steamed egg. Very delicious. read more

I had to choose a star to leave this review but would prefer zero stars. I had a take out order today of the Teriyaki chicken box. The chicken was dry, cold and hard as if it was cooked yesterday. There was no Teriyaki sauce, only plain terrible chicken. Do not eat here. read more
