I've been here several times over the past few months and every visit has been pleasant. I would recommend reservations just to ensure you have a seat as it does get a bit busy! Interior is super sleek and modern. The renovations they did are nice and the tables are huge; also love their ventilation as there has never been an issue with smoke. I will say the last time I came, the music was too loud which led to it being hard to talk amongst us at our table, but that is unique to just that spot as the previous times I had gone, this wasn't an issue. Service is professional, kind, and overall they are attentive. The menu has a small selection of dishes you can order on top of set menus for barbecue. I have only gotten the jinjee set for a mix of both pork and beef, but I'm sure all are great. They cook the meat for you and this makes pacing as well as service super solid. They change the grills without issue and everything tastes great. I also appreciate how they ensure to bring out certain sauces and dips when it's supposed to be used which is interesting. Their raw crab is also great! The ice cream at the end is a nice touch. Overall, I recommend this as one of the best kbbq spots in the greater Boston area. I'll be back, Jinjee! read more

Closer to 4.5 than 4, recommended and will repeat Positives - the best Korean BBQ *and* Japanese (and American) wagyu I've had in the Boston area; friendly employees; good technique in terms of grilling and other dishes like appetizers, stews, banchan, rice, even the matcha soft serve at the end and cocktails are all excellent Not-so-good - At this price point (we paid ~$400 for two for dinner) there shouldn't be issues like flies/gnats, sticky menus, sticky receipt holder, wait staff you have to flag down, no napkins unless requested read more

Definitely an upscale Korean barbecue I would love to return to. The place was spacious with friendly service. I made a reservation but expected it would be packed because many time slots aren't available. I arrived almost 30 min late for my reservation, but the place was half empty for lunch on Saturday. We ordered the abalone muchim, which was refreshing and not too spicy, with the chili dressing. The Jinjee set came with wagyu short rib and marinated wagyu, pork belly, and pork jowl. It is a nice combo if you want to try a little of each. It is a little pricey for the amount of meat, but the quality is well worth it. The banchan and sauces were delicious with unlimited refills. Just sit and enjoy the staff grilling for you. I'll definitely come back, but hopefully on a weekday lunch to save my wallet. read more

Excellent place for kbbq in Boston! Service is amazing every time. We always request Daniel. Would definitely recommend ordering the jinjee set, abalone appetizer and spicy cold noodles.

Overall, a bit pricey for what you get meat-wise but still an overall good experience. The cuts of Wagyu felt very underwhelming and our server was not particularly attentive as we couldn't flag him down for more banchan. The side dishes themselves were very solid and a refreshing pairings w the meat. I'd go if I was treating others to a nice meal with some ambiance, but I don't feel compelled to come here over their sister restaurant Sanbada next door. read more

I held off on visiting Jinjee in Allston for the longest time because of the hefty price tag--I kept asking myself how good the meat could possibly be to justify that kind of money. But as a huge BTS fan, hearing that RM visited multiple times during his trip to Massachusetts convinced me to finally try it. If someone living in South Korea frequents a spot while in Boston, it has to be top tier, right? Well...I was completely floored. The meat quality alone makes the whole experience worth every penny (10/10 doesn't even do it justice), and I don't even usually like wagyu! The complimentary soft serve at the end was the perfect finishing touch. While the sides, extra menu items, and drinks were a bit more average compared to the cuts, the main event easily stole the show. The marinated short rib wagyu was our favorite dish collectively. The restaurant itself is remarkably clean, sleek, and has an incredible overall vibe. What made our special occasion truly unforgettable, though, was the outstanding service. Our waiter, Isaac, was phenomenal--he was warm and social, took the time to walk us through the menu, and handled all the table-side grilling for us with genuine care. He elevated the entire meal from a dinner into a memorable experience. Between the top-grade meat, spotless environment, and stellar hospitality, Jinjee is worth every cent for a special night out. read more

Made resys for a weekday lunch a week in advance but I imagine needing to book much earlier for dinner or weekends. This location was formally TITS. From the outside, it is unassuming - even the restaurant sign is subtle. The lighting inside is very dim, our waiter kept saying 'evening' to us haha but understandably so. Great place for a date day/night. Service 12/10. I was absolutely blown away by the service here. Our waiter, Jing, was incredibly kind, knowledgeable about the menu/food and he cooked the meat perfectly. The staff here do a great job at making you feel like you are well taken care of. We both got the sura set and the food was delicious, from the wagyu to the banchan. Our only complaint was that a couple cuts of the beef were a bit chewier than expected for the price point but the beef was fresh. The sets came with banchan, rice, and dessert (vanilla ice cream). We celebrated our 5th anniversary here and the staff was kind enough to take a Polaroid of us. Definitely will be a regular spot for us. read more

Jinjee is one of my favorite Korean BBQ spots now! I got the pork belly set and it was SO good. I loved getting to try all the different cuts, but the pork jowl and pork belly were definitely my favorites. The marinated meat was probably my least favorite since it was a little too sweet for my taste. The banchan and sauces were all delicious, and I loved that they offer free refills! My favorite part of the meal, though, was the cold noodles. The buckwheat noodles were sooo chewy and had the perfect texture. read more

Jinjee is a great addition to the Boston restaurant scene. It's very spacious inside and this experience was amazing and reminded me a lot of KBBQ places in Korea. I went on a Friday afternoon the restaurant was pretty packed. I had to wait in the seating area for a couple minutes, but I was seated shortly after. The staff was really friendly and explained the menu and different cuts of meats well. The best part about this was that the staff grills the meat so you can sit back and enjoy the food. The food itself was really good. The food was really fresh and you get unlimited side dishes as well. The only thing that caught me off guard was the bill. According to the menu, lunch sets aren't offered on the weekend and holidays and this restaurant counts Friday as part of the weekend which wasn't clear. read more

Had a very delicious kbbq meal here! We got the jinjee set and the meat quality was good (imo the american wagyu meat was tastier than the pork). Great selection of banchan and condiments for the meat. Server was very attentive and friendly. We also got the spicy marinated crab, yukhoe bibimbap, cold noodles with broth, and the dry, spicy cold noodles. Everything was really yummy. The standouts for me were the spicy marinated crab - one of the best I've had and the cold noodles with broth - very refreshing and paired very well with the meats. No complaints at all except be prepared for your wallet to hurt afterwards lol read more

Glad I was able to get a reservation here! Overall vibes is an upscale kbbq spot where you can sit and relax instead of actively grilling. The staff are attentive and stay at your table for a good portion of the meals to make sure the meats don't get overcooked. Our table ordered the Jinjee set with 3 other noodles/rice bowls. I expect it would be filling even if we didn't get accompaniments. I liked that the jinjee set has both pork and beef so you can have bit of everything. The sides that came with the meal were all delicious and share similarities to their sister restaurant next door. The meats were all grilled nicely and did not need much seasoning to taste the flavors. The sides are definitely a strong part of the meal. The chayotes and squid/roe were my favorites out of them all. The chayotes are sweet and refreshing that is similar to radish. And the roe was so good with rice. Also have to say, they have some pretty good white rice if that's something you pay attention to. Another highlight is their paprika seasoning that accompanies the pork. Drinks were good, overall not overly strong in alc taste but refreshing/sweet. Shoutout to Jing for being a great grill master for our meal. He was very attentive and did the hard work of making sure we had everything to enjoy our meal! He made sure to have answers to all of our questions! read more

Searching for Korean BBQ and JINJEE popped up. As we pull up, to my surprise it's where The Kells - turned Tavern on The Square - used to be! Such a weird feeling being back in the building but totally different vibe. Front entrance is a like walking into a space ship with lots of LEDs. The dining area is split in three with the bar area in the middle. The right side (facing the street) with big windows has large, long comfy booths for big parties and smaller 4/2 tops. The left side is for 4 & 2 tops. The bar area has high top tables and bench seating. We were greeted right away but sadly a couple minutes too late for lunch. The price difference is $15-$20 for lunch vs dinner. We were greeted with barley tea and the nicest server who was so patient, friendly and helpful explaining the menu and how to order. We decided on the Jinjee dinner for 4, which includes steak and pork. The banchan had some of the usual like kimchee, pickled radish but also other items I haven't tried. Everything was fresh, flavorful and beautifully presented. We especially liked the little dishes of salt, mushroom mixture and ginger. They were so proactive refilling items when we were running low. The meat was grilled to perfection. Note: They grill for you. I like mine on the crispier side and they were happy to deliver. He gave good suggestions which sides to mix together for the best bite. We had a cold noodle dish which had a little spice to it with egg, pork and spinach? With some kind of powder which everyone enjoyed. It was a great suggestion to go with the main meal. The meal includes a small cup of soft serve ice cream with soy bean powder sprinkled on top. Just the right amount of sweet to end the meal. Had such a great time and was totally stuffed when we left. Can't wait to go back!

JinJee is easily one of the best Korean BBQ experiences I've had in the Boston area. From the moment we walked in, the staff were incredibly friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable, making great recommendations and ensuring everything was cooked and served perfectly. The restaurant itself is clean, modern, and comfortable, creating a welcoming atmosphere for a great meal. We ordered the Abalone Muchim and the JinJee Set, which included American Wagyu, American Heritage Duroc (pork jowl, marinated pork shoulder, pork belly, and pork shoulder), and Mul Makguksu. Every cut of meat was fresh, tender, and packed with flavor, while the Abalone Muchim was bright and refreshing. The unlimited banchan was another highlight, with each side dish complementing the meal so well that we found ourselves constantly asking for more. Every bite was incredibly satisfying and left us wanting just one more. This is definitely a place you'll want to make a reservation for, as it's understandably popular. Between the outstanding food, exceptional service, and welcoming atmosphere, JinJee is an easy recommendation for anyone craving high-quality Korean BBQ. I'll absolutely be coming back again. read more

Jinjee is a place to go when you really want to celebrate something special. The space is modern and sleek with a lot of tables. The middle of the restaurant features an open space with a bar and high tops for those waiting for a table. The whole group must order the same set and there's really only 3 different sets to choose from. We ended up choosing the Jinjee which was a pork and beef combo priced at $60pp for dinner. There was quite a substantial amount of meat included with a lot of delicious side dishes to pair. Everyone gets a bowl of rice as well. We also ordered the cold noodles and the meal ended with matcha ice cream. Overall, the quality was slightly above average but service was a 10/10. read more

Heaven!!! EVERYTHING was mind blowing and luxurious. Ambiance, drinks, meat, side dishes... even the bathroom had toiletries!!! You don't even have to lift a finger to cook the meat as the servers do it for you. Our group of 5 spent about $110 each but it was just such a decadent and utterly satisfying experience that we are all so willing to come back. You don't even smell like KBBQ leaving the place either! I haven't had KBBQ in a while and now I fear I can't have it any other way. read more

Hands down the best Korean BBQ spot in Boston right now! I've been here a few times and have tried both the Jinjee Set (pork + American Wagyu) and the Sura Set (American Wagyu + A5 Japanese Wagyu), and both were excellent. The quality is impressive from the meats all the way down to the banchan. It's definitely on the pricier side, but you can taste the difference, so I think it's absolutely worth it. They also serve the best gochujang jjigae. Rich, flavorful, and the perfect addition to the BBQ. I love that the servers cook everything for you, so you can just sit back and enjoy your meal. The complimentary house-made soft serve at the end is the perfect finishing touch. The space is spacious and nicely done, without feeling overly fancy, and best of all, you don't leave smelling like BBQ! This has quickly become one of my favorite restaurants in Boston. Highly recommend! read more

Our new fav kbbq place in Allston! We ordered the Jinjee set, Yukhoe Bibimbap, and Gochujang Jjigae. There was plenty of food for four people. The meat was high quality, the service was very friendly, they perfectly cooked all of our meats, and the side dishes were deliciously spot on. We came to celebrate a special occasion and the staff at Jinjee made the evening feel especially special and festive. We also appreciated the unique seasonings and accompaniments to our meal. The quality and standards of this kbbq establishment rival those of LA and NYC, and we can't wait to visit again! read more

Amazing service. Jing was our server and was very attentive explaining everything throughout the meal! All of our meat was perfectly cooked! I loved the sides, the kimchi and other banchans went perfectly with the meats. We got the Jinjii set which has both beef and pork which in my opinion is the best one to get! I really loved the radish with sesame sauce it cuts right through any greasiness you may get from eating so much meat! The mul makgugsu broth is delicious! Must try when here as it is so refreshing! read more

New premium bbq place in Allston. We went at around 3-4 ish so our wait time was ~20 mins. There's a pretty big waiting area, it is soft opening right now so only one side of the place is open and wait time will likely be longer cuz they are. understaffed. They have 3 diff sets you can choose from, this place is on the pricier side but has quality cuts. Prices are cheaper for lunch though 11-3. Our waiter was super nice and explained everything including what to meats to eat with which side dishes. The staff cooks everything for you , sometimes it was a little awk cuz they're just standing there most of the time but it was nice to not have to do anything. I think there vent is the gold rim around the stove so there is NO SMELL of bbq at all on anything. They give many side dishes including radish with sesame, kimchi, marinated shrimp and squid, sweet potato, and pear. We got the was the JINJEE set, 3 of them, each person is required to get one (the same set) unless under 14. We also got the Gochujang Jjigae $12 this was really good, not too salty or spicy. And the Mul Makguksu $12 which was a refreshing cold noodleband they have vinegar and mustard to add to ur desire. We asked if they had rice and he seemed offended we would even ask but this rice was SO GOOD idk what they're using but it shined  Def wanna try the japanese wagyu if i get the chance next time. So grateful that I didn't smell of bbq and the staff were all really nice and attentive. I think they serve like a roasted barley tea instead of water so wasn't a huge fan but i'm sure u can ask for water if anything. The pork belly was the cut that was just okay in my opinion but the others cuts were all really good. I def need that rice recipe though. read more

Okay I've been to a lot of Korean bbq places in my time and Jin Jee is without a doubt the best. The food quality is amazing and tasty. All the different side dishes and apps are elevated in flavor compared to any place I've been to. That being said though, it's definitely the most expensive kbbq spot I've been. Ambiance and service is great and they do a great job explaining the dishes and the meat to add to the experience so you're not just paying for the food, but also the service. read more

Jinjee is fantastic! This was my first KBBQ experience and definitely did not disappoint! I'm not usually a fan of super meat-focused meals but I would absolutely do this again. Our server was wonderful and attentive and cooked our food to seared perfection. The banchan was balanced, bursting with flavor, and had enough variety for everybody. We had a huge group of 10 people and sat comfortably in the back of the restaurant. The restaurant is also HUGE and has a beautiful and clean aesthetic. I would highly recommend the Jinjee set and ANY of the cocktails! read more

Phenomenal experience at Jinjee for weekend lunch, what a treat. The main food comes in sets, and we got the Jinjee set which comprised of American wagyu, pork jowl, and pork belly plus of course ban chan and matcha soft serve for dessert. Our server was truly exceptional - she grilled every piece to perfection, to our liking (medium rare), and with great attention to detail, offering unobtrusive tips for which meats to add a light touch of salt, or other condiments to complement and enhance the flavor profile. The drinks were also fantastic - got one of the high balls and lychee martini. Overall great value meal. Would be amazing to come back on a weekday sometime for the lunch deal! read more

They are truly serious about Korean BBQ here and the quality of the side dishes and meats prove it. Their staff is also highly trained and polished. I would definitely come here for a special occasion if you wanna get a high quality meal with great service without having to worry about dressing up. The meat sets are perfect for two people along with side dishes and rice. My only small comment is that they don't provide lettuce, and instead give a soaked leafy vegetable that is albeit nicer than lettuce, but lacks the crunch that I crave from a good lettuce wrap with rice and bbq meat. There's a ton of space and a small bar area, but I recommend making a reservation. The lunch menu is generally the same as dinner, just at a lower price. read more

Fantastic KBBQ! The interior is extremely spacious and modern and beautiful. The sets are a great deal, and my go-to is the Jinjee set. Great meat quality, and unlimited banchan and rice is always wonderful. Each dish tastes delicious, including the a la carte menu items like gochujang jjigae and all the appetizers. The complimentary soft serve at the end is a nice touch. The staff are all friendly, and I'll be going back often! read more
