Great Korean food in Hell's Kitchen for a solid price. The wings were definitely a highlight and the cheese galbi was too. The japchae was also flavorful and yums. The service and ambiance was great - lots of space and pretty chill vibes. Definitely recommend if you're looking for Korean in Hell's Kitchen. read more

One of the best Korean-style fried chicken spots I've had. I ordered the original small wings ($21.85) with garlic sauce on the side, but honestly, they didn't even need the sauce. The chicken was crispy on the outside, juicy and flavorful on the inside -- perfectly done. I would absolutely come back just for the fried chicken alone. I also tried the Army Stew ($23), which was perfect for a cold winter day. Just the right level of spiciness, loaded with instant noodles, sausage, and spam -- such a comforting (and slightly guilty) pleasure. The seafood pancake was decent, but probably something I would skip next time. Overall, this is a great spot if you're craving Korean fried chicken. There are still so many dishes on the menu I want to try, so I'll definitely be back. read more

I don't think I've had Korean food outside of Koreatown in Manhattan so this was interesting to try. We came on a weekday night and there was no one there. The servers were incredibly attentive and kind! - Kimchi Pancake - I think this was probably the best dish out of the three. The pancake was very crispy and was stuffed with kimchi. I did feel like it was a bit oily and small though. - Marinated Short Ribs with Corn Cheese - I felt like the short ribs wasn't very tender and the portion sizes were a bit small as they gave around 10 pieces of meat including the ends for almost $30. I did appreciate the corn cheese though which went well with the kimchi pancake as well as the free rice. - Spicy Korean Army Stew - I feel quite ambivalent about this to be honest. I feel like the portion sizes were a bit small and there wasn't many ingredients in there past the spam, sausage, and noodles. Also the soup became a bit more like a stew and more slimey in general as the noodles took out all the moisture. Although the staff was very nice and kind, I thought the food was okay and the portion sizes were a bit small although we still had leftovers as a table of 3. read more

Was in the city for a nearby concert and needed something to eat. Found The Jin on Yelp and figured it would be perfect. I walked in just before 5 on a Thursday, absolutely perfect time as it was nice and quiet! Restaurant is clean and comfortable, staff is friendly and professional. I ordered a couple of basics because I wasn't sure how authentic the Korean food would be. Bulgogi was outstanding! Tender and flavorful and served screaming hot! Chicken wings were also a hit, meaty with a crisp exterior! Glad I tried The Jin! read more

I ordered the chicken katsu sandwich and it was unfortunately very very dry... I was expecting a juicy crispy Korean style fried chicken but instead got a really thinly flattened over cooked piece of chicken. The service was fine and the ambiance was also nice - somewhere to meet up with a small group of friends to have a couple drinks and some bites. Unfortunately I wouldn't order the food again if I was to come back. read more

The Jin - Crispy Chicken Sandwich - Korean Near Me - New York, New York

Service was great. I think there was just one server and he was hustling. Actually he did mention that it was the other guy's first day. But he still made the time to kindly offer menu suggestions and make funnies even while training the new guy and bussing tables and taking orders and closing out bills. So sweet. The food was fine but not exactly what I expected. I didn't realize that it was more street foods and fusion and not really traditional Korean food. For example, I ordered the pork belly and it filled half the plate; the other half was filled with sautéed kimchi and it wasn't served with rice. I wasn't used to this. The kimchi was fresh but sour which is our preference. However it seemed to have a bit of vinegar added in. We did ask for extra. I can't remember the other banchan but there were 4 or 5 and all were fine. read more

The Jin was the answer to where to eat after the Late Show with Colbert. An easy multi block walk that was so worth it. We popped in on a Monday evening and were seated right away. They had opened their front sidewalk door/window and allowed the beautiful evening air in. I saw Korean Fried Chicken and I was set. My table mates went for a Bulgogi bowl and a Bulgogi Japchae. We also ordered their dumplings. Like a speeding bullet the fried chicken arrived at the table - hot, crispy and drizzled with a luscious sauce. Next came the other two entrees nicely presented and hot. The chicken was super crispy crunchy and had great flavor and was very moist. Dipping sauces came with the chicken but the drizzle was plenty flavorful enough for me. The Bulgogi dishes were good but the depth of flavor of the meat wasn't quite bold enough. We make are own at home and are quite smitten so perhaps an unfair comparison. The dumplings arrived after the entrees and were fine. We could have skipped them in retrospect. Service was friendly, fast and professional. The restaurant was clean, well lit and inviting. If my rating was on just the chicken it would have been 5 stars. I definitely would order it on my next visit to the Jin. read more

Stopped by for a midday meal. The restaurant was not crowded at around 4p on a Wednesday. Service was courteous, not a lot of attention but there if you need something. We ordered an 11 piece fried chicken for appetizer. Then we had a beef bulgogi over rice and burger with fries. Everything was fine and hit the spot. The water glass is on the small side. Luckily they gave you a prefilled water bottle so you wouldn't have to constantly ask for refills. However you had to constantly refill your own glass because it's so small. read more

This is a such a nice surprise. I wasn't expecting that around 57th and Tenth to get such a good and unique treat. The best part was the tea. I don't recall what the waitress called it, but it was the best tea I've ever had. If you think this is an exaggeration, try it for yourself. The waitress was also very sweet. Totally cool, friendly, and knows Korean food. Wings were amazing, and so were the entrees. I can't wait to go back. Please was clean, nice, and reasonable. If I worked around there, I'd be there 2-3 times a week. read more

Probably the best chicken wings you will ever have in the city. The portion sizes are large, so consider sharing. I would suggest the half and half so you get half and half sauce - - both the garlicsoy and spicy (get extra garlicsoy, you won't regret it). I personally like the boneless but bone-in is definitely the more preferred. Easy restaurant when you are looking to be in and out. Also perfect for the summer because they have the open window / doors that allow you to feel outdoor vibes. read more

This place rules! For great prices, you get great quality food. I got the Bulgogi over Korean white rice. Really tasty meat. I love the dipping sauce that they give you and I poured that on everything. It's a simple dish, but a lot of food. I also got the pork belly with sautéed kimchi. That was our favorite. Normally pork belly is very fatty and I liked how well this was cooked. A ton of pork belly to eat as well. I was shocked by the portion size. Service was all smiles and they sat us fast and always filled our waters. I really like them. I like the space. I like our table. I like the open window entrance for the summertime. For two of us it cost about $45. A great spot in Hell's kitchen! read more

The Jin - Kimchi fried rice - Korean Near Me - New York, New York

First time dining and I'm impressed. They make their kimchi in house and has an authentic Korean decor aesthetic. Limited menu but most of the food was delicious. Ordered spicy braised ramen, fries, and house kimchi. The spicy braised pork was delicious and not as spicy. The fries were basic but still tasty and the kimchi was crunchy and slight spicy. The service is professional and fast. They also provide extra condiments for most dishes and sides. I like their chipotle and tareyaki sauce. The water closet is located past kitchen. Small eatery but worth a visit. read more

My mom and I came out of a Tuesday morning taping of the Drew Barrymore Show at CBS Broadcasting Studio, and found this spot on Google Maps nearby. Clean, dark interior, it was pretty much empty at 2:30pm, and we selected a seat near the entrance to enjoy the open air and sunlight. The server was extremely attentive and welcoming. We ordered the japchae with bulgogi, and the short ribs with corn cheese. He brought us extra kimchi, made sure our waters were always topped off, and even changed out our used napkins. The food, though, was amazing! It's crazy to think this might be one of the best korean meals I've ever had, and I've eaten great korean food in NYC Koreatown, the Bay Area, in LA, and Irvine, CA. Generous portions of everything. Short ribs were perfectly tender, and the bed of corn cheese deliciously soaked up the juices. The japchae was bouncy and perfectly flavorful with a generous helping of bulgogi on top. Even the kimchi was perfectly sour and complemented everything! Five stars, definitely coming back! read more

On freezing cold day, nothing beats a warm bowl ramen. I searched around where I was and found the Jin. It is situated on a relatively quiet section of the neighborhood. I could not find obvious sign out front but the clean, modern design of the entrance made it the 'obvious'. There are two kinds of ramen options - pork vs chicken. I chose the pork option. I also ordered a small fried chicken. When both came out, I was surprised by the size of the fried chicken. It's good for two people. The skin was crispy and the hot sauce was just right, spicy and tangy. The ramen was good but the stand out item in it was the poached egg. You have to try it. The only shortcomings of this place is single restroom. It's clean but looks like needing a renovation. Would be back in the summer and try out a few more items. read more

Placed an online order but had to cancel. Called the restaurant right after to cancel the order but they said I need to call menufy; they cannot cancel the order. Called Menufy, they said they have to call the restaurant for approval, and I have to be on standby to see if it's approved or not. Very frustrating. By the time they call the restaurant back, my food was ready. read more

Insanely delicious! We have a new favorite restaurant in Hells Kitchen, The Jin. Stopped by for lunch with my wife and can't stop talking about the tasty food Let's start with the Bulgogi Tacos. Wow. Stuffed full of juicy marinaded beef with peppers in a sold corn tortilla. These aren't your tiny appetizers, they're huge. And so good. Maybe my favorite taco period. We also had a bowl of glass noodles with Bulgogi, also very delicious. A bit a kimchi too to round out our lunch. They also had a great assortment of local and imported beers and adult beverages, but it was lunch so next time. Atmosphere at The Jin is very clean, modern and warm with hardwood floors and, exposed brick walls. The front opens up to the sidewalk, always a nice feature. Service was prompt and extremely polite as you might expect at a Korean restaurant. All around winning combination. The Jin is definitely going to become a regular for us. Highly recommend. read more

The service is also wonderful; this past weekend when we went, we ordered short rib and the server informed us the chef thought the meat was a little off and told us they unfortunately wouldn't be able to serve it, but we received the other parts of the dish for free. Would and have highly recommended this restaurant to multiple people to try. read more

Ambiance - perfection / Simple, chill vibe and decor. Wood and neutral coloration. We felt warmly welcomed. We sat at a table that was inside but in the street at the same time. Perfect on a breezy summer day. Food - perfection This chicken was so good my spirit was moved in a real way. Like Jesus was present in the chicken. It hyperbole y'all. It was holy and heavenly. Service - great our server made great suggestions and didn't over sell us on anything. He suggested that we wait to order fried rice to see if the chicken would be enough, first. Nice! I love this experience. It was as close to perfect as one can get. (I even got to Shazzam some dope Korean hip hop/ r n b while I was there!) Another review giving it to you straight no chaser!

I liked The Jin for relatively affordable, tasty Korean food. The interior has about a dozen tables and while it's mostly catered to couples and small parties, there's room to fit a larger party. The staff is friendly and helpful too. Restroom is small but clean. Obviously, the fried chicken is their most popular menu item, but I found it slightly overpriced and overseasoned. It's not bad or anything, just not my favorite. Loved the savory kimchi pancake, which is gooey and slightly spicy. The cheese corn was just so-so. I'd probably go back again; it'd be a great place to have some drinks and late-night snacks with friends. read more

Warm atmosphere and friendly waters. Came here on a weeknight and got seated quickly. Korean fusion place with some American-inspired dishes. Came here with some friends, and we all got the beef bulgogi with white rice and a side salad. For the price, the bulgogi was pretty standard. It's comparable to the prices and restaurants in the area and in Hell's Kitchen / near Columbus Circle. The vibe is dim-lit with cozy seating. read more

The Jin - Bulgogi Beef over Korean White Rice - Korean Near Me - New York, New York

This small, fusion Korean restaurant was a nice find on Friday afternoon! I was looking for a place to grab lunch near Columbus Circle - this restaurant was a few blocks away. I walked in around 1 pm and was seated immediately. There was another couple having lunch and a few other people came in while I was there. It wasn't too crowded or busy for lunch hour which I appreciated. It was nice that day, so the storefront walls were open to let the fresh air and sunlight in. I ordered the bulgogi beef tacos and sizzling corn cheese as my side. The beef tacos tasted great! It had just enough filling and lots of flavor. The sizzling corn cheese was piping hot when it came out - so remember to wait a few minutes to starting to eat it. I love corn so I have nothing negative to say about that dish! You should definitely try it. Everything was very filling. The staff were very nice and attentive - they checked in once in a while. read more

Food (4/5) - Got a ramen, kimchi fried rice, and soy garlic wings. Wings were great, chicken was moist enough and breading was crispy, well-seasoned. Ramen can be on the spicier side, is very pungent, rich and flavourful. Egg was just the right level of jammy. Service (4/5) - Was pretty prompt until we needed the check, staff checked in once in a while and were unintrusive otherwise. Ambiance (4/5) - Bit of a hole in the wall, though we also went at a slightly odd lunch hour ~2pm, place was completely empty. Seating near the street can get loud but that's to be expected. On a good day the storefront walls are retracted and it's nice and bright. Price (5/5) - Pretty good value, all portions were pretty big and we had leftovers. read more

This place is a little out of the way from the main Ktown in the city so even at prime dinner time on Friday night getting a table shouldn't be too hard. Although the portions were pretty good my bulgogi on a sizzling plate came out kind of dry, maybe they left it in the window for a little too long. Their menus were also only on the walls which had us squinting or standing up or just looking through the website on our phones. But I did see that their takeouts were nonstop so some people definitely like this place and maybe I just had an isolated bad experience with my dry bulgogi. If I was in this area again I might give it another try. Their menu was quite small so I assumed the quality would have been very good since they specialize in a few dishes. read more

Ordered some dishes but the miso soup tasted stale and the rice was weird in texture as well.

Super crispy wings with amazing sauces! I came here an hour before closing on a Wednesday so there were only maybe 2-3 other parties but I was super impressed with this place. The menu is small and I only came with one other person so we only ordered the soy garlic wings and the original wings with the spicy sauce on the side. They didn't have small sides of tteokbokki but next time I come with a group, I'd want to try it as an entree. The wings came out fresh, hot, crispy, and huge. They were super juicy and each bite was incredible. The soy garlic and spicy sauce together was an amazing combo as well. The service was great! They were very accommodating and attentive. Overall, I would definitely come back for the wings and would like to try some of their other dishes as well. read more

Cute little ramen/Korean place. Kinda more a fusion (for example a bulgogi sandwich with fries) than traditional Korean. I got the ramen, which was nice and came with a side of kimchib (tbh, the ramen was good but I found the kimchi flavorless). Much more of a fast casual vibe. The menus are posted at the table, which I guess was nice instead of having to thumb through a menu or go through a QR code (am I the only one who find QR menus annoying?). The food selection is smaller, but has a nice mixture of items, so you'll find something to munch on. When we went, it was kinda slow but service was quick and I didn't feel rushed. Just know it's not traditional Korean food and I think you'll have a good time. It's a nice place to sit down, have a quick meal with a friend without the big pricetag. read more
