Food - top notch! Various high quality wagyu, cooked to perfection at your table. Banchan were fresh and abundant. Ambiance - had upscale vibes, good for a nice dinner date. The night we went, they played a good selection of hip hop in the background. Service - waiters were timely, knowledgeable, and provided great service. Definitely will keep Jinjee as a premiere option for kbbq in the area! read more

We had a great experience here! The quality of both the beef and pork was excellent--fresh, flavorful, and beautifully marbled. The side dishes were also delicious, with a great variety that complemented the meal really well. The only small downside was that some of the meat ended up slightly overcooked, but it was still very tasty overall. Service was attentive, and we'd definitely come back for another meal. Highly recommend! 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

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

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

I thought this place might be over-hyped, but absolutely not!!! We did a whole feast for a large group, and the food was incredible. The black sesame noodles were a particular favorite. But honestly the service was the real star -- Minh was so charming and attentive (without being overbearing). He brought a couple rounds of shots while we were waiting on some late arrivals, and he cooked our meats perfectly at exactly the right pace so everything was warm as we were eating it. He absolutely made the meal!!! 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

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

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

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

This restaurant stands out! The quality of the food and the service were both excellent. The staff prepared the meat for you, and there are three set options to choose from. We chose the Jinjee set which was perfect portion for two. The Banchans and accompaniments were all delicious. I'd definitely recommend giving it a try! It's unfortunately getting very popular that you will need to make a reservation a day in advance. read more

Great ambiance and service. Our server was very attentive and I like that they cook the meat in front of you.

We have found our new go-to KBBQ spot - Naksan has got serious competition. The weekday lunch set is an incredible value and one of the best restaurant deals in Boston - we were stuffed and the meat and side dishes are all very good quality. Only minorly annoying thing was the music was a bit too loud (must be a sign I'm getting old =') so it was hard to hear our server at times and kinda makes it feel like a bar/club. Speaking of servers, shoutout to our server Lucy who was one of the best servers I've had. She was incredibly attentive, cooked our meat to perfection, and shared with us all sorts of fun stories. I've eaten at Michelin restaurants before and the service Lucy provided was on par with those restaurants. read more

Came here as Boston barely have premium Korean BBQ. Came here on Saturday morning when they opened and we got seat. We tried the sura set as that's what we came for. First they have 6 panchan, 2 salad and 2 dipping sauce. The complimentary panchan is all good. We pretty much ordered more for each one and the squid and shrimp panchan are very good with rice, which is complementary too. The portion of the sura set for 2 don't look big but it's enough for us. The waiter pretty much just stood by our table all the time cooking the meat for us. It's good that the meat can be cooked right, but then less privacy. The Japanese A5 Wagyu and American Wagyu are the best for sure. The marinated Wagyu is our least favorite as it served the last. So you know compared to the best meat, it's no longer as good. At the end they have vanilla ice cream with bean powder. Everything is good and I would have rated it 5 stars. BUT the reason I downgraded to 4 stars is that the menu is misleading. The sura set has 2 prices, one for dinner and one for lunch. They even have the lunch hour specified. HOWERVER, the lunch price is only for weekday lunch hours. Therefore, we were surprised that our total bill is more than what we expected. That's the only disappointment. read more

I ordered the jinjee set for two, which was $120 in total. The meat tasted pretty good but the amount of meat I got was so disappointing for the amount of money I spent. You can see in the picture how little the amount is. The service is also overbearing because the server is constantly next to you grilling the meat when I just would rather cook the meat myself and enjoy private time with my family. The only silver lining is that the banchan (basically same as sanbada) is excellent. I just felt that I had to give an honest review among the sea of influencer opinions. read more

Went back again yesterday since they're fully opened now and had the best time! Our server Min was such a hoot, he was very entertaining and explained everything on the menu really well. He also made sure our banchan (which is the best banchan we've ever had a Korean restaurant!) was always refilled immediately when we were running low. The service here was top notch all around; even when he had to step away for something, another waiter would step up right away to help with the cooking or checking if we needed anything. Because of this, the food never burned and was cooked perfectly. We tried the Sura set this time and it was definitely worth it! The Wagyu steaks were melt-in-your-mouth buttery. The American boneless short rib Wagyu was top tier quality, almost thought it was Japanese A5 Wagyu. We also got to try the Doenjang Jjigae which was so flavorful and delicious. You will never leave here hungry, that's for sure! Can't wait to come back again soon. read more

Meat was high-quality and grilled well. The banchan was also very good. Shout out to our waiter Leslie for being super helpful.

We tried the Jin Jee set (2 beef + 2 pork). Meat quality is noticeably high, and no sauce needed. Banchan is fresh and unlimited, and the mul makguksu was super refreshing. Modern, clean space with an indoor waiting area. We waited about an hour, so definitely go early. Big standout is the grill design, barely any smoke smell, which is a game changer for KBBQ. Service was super friendly throughout. Soft serve at the end was a nice touch read more
