    Beef Combo
    Kaitlyn H.

    Had a good dinner tonight! Service is always great here. I will say though, after coming here for the last two years, it seems they have recently changed ownership and/or menu offerings. Banchan sides have changed slightly and they no longer offer the additional sides (corn cheese, green onion salad, grilled kimchi) as part of the main menu. This is definitely one of the better KBBQ spots in the Phoenix area! The quality just isn't quite the same.

    All the different banchan

    Had such an amazing dinner here at Jin BBQ tonight with my family! The ambiance inside has a more lively feel with the new revamp and the K-pop playlist sets the mood for a night of eating! The new menu offers an array of different side dishes and meats that weren't there before! Coming from someone who is often indecisive, I LOVE that there are new combo options that help guide you through the various cuts of meat. The new small side dishes (banchan) that come with your meal when ordering is so delicious as well! I love how the staff is never shy with refills when asking for more!! Speaking of the staff here, they were all so attentive to small details and super friendly:) They were all quick to notice when our table needed water, sides, a grill change, etc... It feels as though the workers here take pride in what they do and what they serve! All in all, I will be back again sometime soon to bring in new friends to eat here! I have always loved the quality of meat here, the fun upbeat vibes, and the friendly staff members that create a cheerful ambiance.

    I was a little worried about the price when I first sat down. Then they started bringing out all the appetizer dishes. There were so many. Between those and the salad, the steamed egg, and the stew, I was almost full before the meat even arrived. It was worth every penny. The staff were very friendly and attentive as well.

    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.

    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!

    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!

    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!

    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.

    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

As we were eating both Carl and Mason came over to see if we were enjoying our meal. We couldn't praise them enough. Everything about our visit was phenomenal. The food was delicious, the customer service by Carl, Mason and the rest of your employees was top notch. We look forward to visiting again and taking the pit class when we return to the valley.

How a team reacts to problems tells me more about the place than just having a 3 or 4 star experience - this group showed experience, grace, and real concern. To start - if you want a booth, make sure you specify that when you put in your name - it changes the wait time. While we waited, we ordered Cokes from the bar, and Marquis gave a warm welcome and great service! Upon finally sliding into our booth, we found the seats hadn't been brushed off - and it was very crumb-y (pun intended) - we ended up using our napkins and then grabbing new sets from a nearby table. We also learned the Coke was FLAT and bitter - not great. However our server, Calvin, during that typical greeting and small talk actually invited us to share our concerns, asking us not to hold back and as a result went above and beyond to turn our experience around. An additional visit from Manager Josh followed, apologizing and genuinely seemed to want the the feedback as a tool for improvement and coaching for some new staff. From that point, everything was great! From getting replacement drinks, to sampling the pulled pork and brisket to tender ribs, and the good sized Cajun shrimp appetizer, the team truly redeemed the evening, and the apple cobbler (it's got a pastry top!) and cinnamon sugar donuts was a great close to the meal. Calvin and Josh gave a masterclass in how to turn a meh start into a memorable meal. We're looking forward to going back - next time with a booth request upfront!

We were seated quickly, which was a great start. Unfortunately, it took quite a while for our server to come over, and it seemed like she was really struggling to keep up with her tables. I understand that things can get busy, but it did affect the overall experience. The food is usually very good here, which is why this visit was disappointing. Everything came out cold, and my favorite Cajun shrimp looked like it had been sitting in water--it just wasn't up to the usual standard. I recently found out that this location is under different ownership, which may explain the change. Because of this experience, I'll likely be taking my family to Bobby Q's Phoenix in the future, even though it's a bit farther away.
