BEST new korean bbq in Chicago, that I actually agree. Lets start with small details why this place is the best. 1. Gyeran-jjim that is served as complimentary. Im going to say this is the best gyeran jjim, better than any bars or korean restaurants that serves this dish. Most of places fail with the fire temperature, so you are left with burnt scraps most of the time. This is my 4th time here already and each time, I havent had that burnt taste or left with huge scrapts left in a pot. Also very nice touch at the top with scallion, sesame oil, carrot and fish egg, which most of places dont do. 2. Really like their scallion, lettuce mix with that spicy sauce. Most of other places will have onions, and because of that, usually contains soy sauce, vinegar, sesame oil that makes this salad with a lot of liquids. But here, lettuce and scallions are fresh, as no liquid involved. Its crunchy and spicy, serves as better complimentary at least for me. 3. Quality of meat. I mean it shows on the picture. Nice marbling just shows. I personally really like marinated pork rib, it tastes like I'm in korea. Marination and flavor are definitely the closest I have had in korea. 4. Dipping sauce. They have 4 different sauce, wasabi salt, chimichurri, ssamjang and ponzu. I dont think chimichurri really fits the flavor profile, but other 3 are excellent. It is on the expensive side, but its well worth it. I just hope the quality doesn't change!!

The review you need to read: I would give it 10 stars if I could, savory sauces, amazing prime meats, attentive staff, and welcoming conversation with one of the owners. The vibe was warm, friendly, with the aura of mom and pop. A small but mighty menu. If you want to have a first time experience you have to come here. This is the Korean BBQ. In my opinion it out performs many locations across Chicago and Suburbs. I cannot get over the quality of the meat! It was juicy, great marbling of the meat and the pork belly was crispy yet soft. Sauces are provided, along with additional sides, and I had to fight my brother for the last bite. Portions upon first glance don’t seem to be enough, but are in fact filling! I may have been full half way into my meal, but I succumbed to the craving for more. This place did not disappoint. What I ordered: Gopchang-Jeongol Gyeran-JJim Samgyupsal - Pork Belly Ggotsal - Boneless Short Rib Jin Chadol - Brisket Point If you can make the drive, want to change your opinion of this food genre, or want to try something new…This is the place to be.

Came in here on a Saturday night with two others, parking was EASY and spacious. The ambiance is easily the cleanest feeling Korean BBQ restaurant in Chicago area. Not too dark, and obnoxious with kPop screens everywhere. VERY FAMILY friendly vibe! We all loved the tasteful decor and dividers but didn’t feel too closed off from the rest of the restaurant vibe. The food was delicious and well presented. Loved the seafood pancake, they put whole mussel pieces in there, which I found out later from the chef it’s all hand made and fresh every day. The egg soufflé is amazing. For meats, I loved the Kalbi and Chadol. Their cold spicy noodles were really flavorful, and even though really red, it wasn’t too spicy or too sweet. We got the volcano fried rice at the end to finish off the meal, and was a nice touch. Too full for dessert or anything else this time but I’ll definitely be back and HIGHLY recommend to anyone who wants a clean, legit Korean BbQ experience that is JUST GOOD FOOD, and elegant ambiance.

Jin Soo Korean BBQ really delivers. The meat was top quality—great marbling, super fresh, and tasted amazing. You can see it in the photo; it’s exactly what you’d hope for in a Korean BBQ spot. The cold noodles were also on point, with a refreshing broth and solid mix of toppings that added good texture. The staff took care of us, checking in and helping out when needed, which made the whole experience smooth and enjoyable. If you’re looking for a place with authentic Korean BBQ and quality ingredients, Jin Soo is worth a visit. Definitely coming back.

The servers were all friendly, and the food was truly delicious! The meat was very tender, and the sauces were amazing. The interior was clean, and it wasn’t noisy, which was a big plus. Most KBBQ places have loud ventilation, but here it was quiet and calm. The staff showed us how to pair the sauces with the food and even helped grill the meat right at our table. They also brought anything we needed right away. I was impressed with the excellent service. Thank you so much!
