Needed a reward for keeping peace in my mind after a hectic week. Wanted to have Seafood basket somewhere because when I say ‘reward’ it means naughty fried food. It was, however, a Sunday, there were no pub or other places who’d cook the naughty friedfood opened. Forced to eat Healthy & Good food at Jin’s Kitchen. Thank you for opening on Sundays
The restaurant was full. A big family was there for a birthday party, and other diners were enjoying their Sunday evening. Surprisingly, it had a great atmosphere, cheerful but wasn’t noisy. Everyone enjoyed own private conversations. It looked quite a small restaurant, but it has a pretty good size capacity.
It was my second time in this restaurant and was just superb. Although Healthy Korean food was not my first choice on that night, but I was glad that the other places were all shut. Foods in this restaurant were all really delicious!
I had to order naughty fried foods to make me feel better, and I ordered Gimmari and Korean Fried Chicken as a side too. (I was that full, hardly breathe after 🐷) The korean snack and the chicken were crispy, the chicken display looked like the #AustralianMap.
Entrees were very nice same as last time, Fiery/Smoky pork dish and soy chicken dish were yum, yum, yum!
Because I ordered too many food for only two people, we were already full even before eating the half of our main, but it was that delicious we had to clean all the plates. And dessert…. we were so full, but their mint ice-cream ball in chocolate coating is something you shouldn’t miss. We had to order, but requested to get two spoons for the one ice-cream ball. I was nearly falling in love with the serving lady when the ball was presented in front of me. 😍
It was The Real Korean Way, very sensible. - as a Korean born Australian, I know how Koreans work in Korea. Extremely competitive environment in Korea, places have only sensible and high quality customer service skilled businesses survive in that country. And these people from Korea still have the Korean way. The service was really high quality and very satisfying for the customers.
Please look at the dessert picture, when we asked two spoons, she knew we were sharing it, so she halved the ball for us and the decorations! Beautiful touch! I couldn’t say any higher about the service. She topped the score.
Felt extremely blessed this restaurant is in this small town. It is the restaurant people must try in Huonvalley, Southern Tasmania.
I don’t know these people personally. Have been to the restaurant only twice. It was a real delightful experience to see people from the same nation work hard in the correct way. Everything in the restaurant, food, decorations, people’s manner are authentic enough but added little tweaks to meet the local needs. I was very impressed, and wishing this restaurant to...
Read moreAbsolutely incredible. My family and I come here for special occasions or just when we feel like it. (So we're pretty regular) And it's a delight every time. The staff are so sweet, friendly and helpful, as well as quick to serve.
The atmosphere is so cozy with warm lighting and beautiful Korean decorations.
Now on the subject of food. My favourite is the cheesy pork and it's genuinely out of this world. Served with a fresh and zesty apple and leaves salad and a perfect amount of rice to compliment the fruity and yet still savoury sauce of the cutlet, I would consider this to be the perfect meal. The amount of cheese is generous but it's never too much and it doesn't feel heavy. I genuinely can't describe how mind-blowing it is and I mean that. The first bite always has my eyes rolling and soon the plate is empty mere minutes after being served. I should be restrained because I become like a werewolf on a full moon.
This may seem like I'm being ironic or I'm being dramatic. I am NOT. Go and see for yourself. Or don't because I want it all for myself.
I recommend basically anything from the menu (my favourites are honey soy chicken, glass noodle dumplings etc) of course my favourite is cheesy pork.
The deserts are equally as wonderful. The icecream is served as a ball covered in a thin layer of chocolate. The main meals are a perfect quantity so you will be full once you are finished, therefore the desert servings are on point.
It is just enough to satisfy your sweet tooth while tipping you over the fullness and satisfaction threshold. Absolutely wonderful. And they serve churros. So epic. They also have a delightful assortment of tea.
I know it may seem like I'm being silly but I genuinely love it here so so much. :)) Thankyou...
Read moreFood was good but not family friendly, I initially ignored the moan from the chef and the unenthusiastic look from the lady seating us.
Restaurant was dead empty and we were passing through town so stopped in for dinner quickly. We have a 5 year old and a baby. Both were content, baby was actually happy and laughing so the waitress told us to shut the baby up. After that the food I was somewhat enjoying had a sour taste to it. We felt unwanted so promptly left.
Funny enough we know how important reviews are as my wife and I had a very successful restaurant in Adelaide where we are from. But I would never think to tell someone’s children to shut up in my restaurant.
Doesn’t matter how good the food is if your hospitality is...
