Diner Review №7

Tried this place for the first time with some friends last week.
Very cool, excellent place. Our service was wonderful, fast, courteous and the waiter explained everything in detail.
Everything we ordered was delicious and beautifully presented.
Plus, it's a fun way to share a meal, cooking over a table grill with friends.
Good saki and good prices.
Will definitely go back. Soon!

The price is VERY reasonable and the staff was great.

Diner Review №14

Time for a Review !
We found this place in the middle of the Pandemic in 2020, they had just opened when the lock down happened… and we thought it would not be able to survive.
Fast forward Dec 2024 they are still standing and going strong ! It could not be any other way… THE FOOD IS PHENOMENAL ! everything we have tried is great, the sushi is super fresh, the Galbi beef (we grill), is delicious, the appetizers also great ! It is one of our favorite places in town and if we have family visiting it is usually a must to go here.

If you like great food, do yourself a favor and visit ! You won’t regret it !!!!

Diner Review №15

Everything tasted so fresh. The sushi was delicious as well as the spicy Korean noodles. Prices really weren't too bad for the quality.

Diner Review №16

Great food and service. Highly recommended!

Diner Review №17

I used to love this place. Tonight we stopped in at 7 pm and every table that wasn't occupied by people had dirty dishes from the previous diners, they didn't have a single table ready for new customers. We waited 10 minutes for them to clear one and they hadn't even attempted to clear one when we left. Would you want to sit in filth and pay for dinner? Not me.

Diner Review №18

ONE OF THE BEST KOREAN RESTAURANTS AROUND! THEY GIVE YOU SO MUCH FOOD, WHICH IS HIGH QUALITY AND DELICIOUS. THEY MAKE EVERYTHING IN HOUSE! VERY CLEAN AND GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE.

Diner Review №19

Love this restaurant the inside dining experience is incredible. Hefty food portions in every food order , excellent food. Will be back and highly recommend to everyone

Diner Review №20

First time stopping in to try with friends and was not disappointed! The food was amazing and service was terrific thanks to Chloe. Try the Thai tea, Volcano sushi or Bento box.

Diner Review №21

Worst takeout i ordered their special beef udon
So oilyand gross i couldnt eat it , immersed in big thick black sauce i had to wash off the noodles one by one

Diner Review №22

Diner Review №23

Really solid Korean BBQ. Excellent option for family style dinner out (just keep the kids fingers away from the grill).

Diner Review №24

Salad was yesterday's leftover with dried- out lettuce. Banchan was pitiful (see photo) - no effort put into it at all. Meat was salty. Barely any sauce to make ssam. I've eaten Korean food all over Korea and New York City and this can't begin to compare. Wildly overpriced - $22 for a bottle of soju? Um nope. The only good parts were K-pop music playing and the service was decent enough.

Diner Review №25

Diner Review №26

I ordered this food as takeout. I got the Rangoon and the Kimchi Beef Soup. The Rangoon was alright. The Kimchi Beef Soup did not taste even vaguely like kimchi. I was so disappointed that I couldn't finish it.

Diner Review №28

AMAZING Korean food! 🤤 I’m so happy I came here tonight because I was craving some delicious Korean food and this place was incredible 🥰 the service was also WONDERFUL! highly recommend 😇

Diner Review №29

Relaxed ambience, friendly service, delicious, nicely presented sushi and Korean dishes, reasonable prices. We are happy to have this gem close by. As it is not in a ‘happening’ part of town, it is quiet and easy to get a table here even on the weekends. I’m ambivalent about giving the restaurant such a rave, as I don’t want it to get too crowded! But I do want it to do well. So if you like this type of cuisine, worth checking out.

Diner Review №31

St Pete's best kept secret. This little gem is hidden in plain sight. The food is always fresh, the staff is always nice and helpful. The sake selection, the bulgogi, the korean bbq tables, the sushi, everything we tried there has been amazing. We keep going back for more.

Diner Review №32

OMG OMG I can’t say it enough all I can say is if you love kimchi!!!! Order any dish with it…. The best I can’t say this enough the best kimchi ever is the real secret family recipe you can taste the difference!!! Hands down order from here you can thank me later!!!!! Get the kimchi shrimp fried rice woohoo woohoo woohoo giddy up

Diner Review №33

This is very bland Korean food and sushi, like below airport quality. It’s confusing because it looks like it should be at least a par chain. People who think it’s good don’t know anything. It would fail immediately in California or anywhere where people know.
Go to Dooriban over here, which has really good food in a converted fast food joint they replaced, or in Tampa go to One Family for a great immersive aesthetic and good Korean food.

Diner Review №34

Jinju is awesome! Great kbbq options and experience. The pork belly wrapped scallops were so good. Lots of non kbbq options if that's not your thing like rice dishes and stone pots. Good sushi as well. A lot of soju flavors. Staff was friendly and helpful. Will be back.

Diner Review №35

I’ve ordered sushi to-go and grilled at the table and everything I’ve had has been phenomenal. There’s more on the menu I’m eager to try so I’m looking forward to next time 😋

Came tonight for the first time and all was great, the food, the atmosphere and the waitstaff! Chelsea was fantastic at recommendations, super friendly and attentive! This restaurant is clean and beautifully decorated and the food is fantastic!

Diner Review №40

Food is ok. Sushi and bulgogi are alright. Soonubu is a little on the sweeter side and had a slightly thicker consistency. Fried dumplings are deep fried, not pan fried.

Diner Review №41

Fufu Korean Grill and Sushi is more like it.

Hi I’m Ryan and my review is kind of crazy.

This is only base off on their galbi and trust me if this is the kind of food they serve here then run! This place shouldn’t even be consider Korean let alone serve poor quality food.

Come on now galbi is one of Koreans staples when it comes to their meats. And if you can’t do it right then take it off your menu!

Highly disappointed in this place and feel sorry for any Koreans or Asains who eat this garage.

Fix it or take it off.

Diner Review №42

I ordered this on Uber Eats. It was my first time trying this restaurant. I got the fried gyoza and the Japchae Tofu. It is unfortunate that several of the reviews about poor food quality are correct.

The gyoza was okay, but the sauce did have an odd scent. I’m a huge fan of authentic Asian food of varying countries including Korean so I’m familiar with scents and smells of foods and sauces. The sauce didn’t merely smell sour, it smelt like it had started to turn. I ordered two orders of gyoza and decided not to finish the second. The Japchae was a very wealthy portion, but the noodles, veggies, and tofu had a soggy texture and a lack of flavor. For $40 plus delivery tip I was disappointed. I read a review about food poisoning on here after already eating the food, and got even more freaked out afterwards, so I opted not to finish the Japchae either.

Diner Review №43

Absolutely amazing!
The best food and service in Saint Petersburg.
Thanks Chelsea

Diner Review №44

Muy delicioso

Diner Review №45

Jinju is locally owned and operated in true St Pete fashion. The food is amazing from the sushi to the bulgogi and everything in between with a diverse range of offerings. The chef garnishes with floral touches and artistic presentation including dry ice in sculptures. Sushi is delightfully fresh with generous cuts of fish. The service is friendly and impressive - they know what our drinks and apps are without asking. The Korean grilling tables are fun although we typically sit at a regular one and get our food cooked by the pros. Prices are really great for all you get. We love the beautiful mural of cherry blossoms and how the owner stops by to say hello everyone we visit.

Diner Review №46

The bulgogi was amazing and came with a lot of sides. Wine was delicious and service was very attentive.

Diner Review №47

This is a locally owned restaurant and the staff are doing an amazing job to their customers needs. The food was really good. The Chef always added some new food on the menu. The Galbi and Japchae are my favorite so is the Laotian food. There's sushi and noodles. They are open on lunch now from 11am to 230pm and 5pm to 10pm
There service are above and beyond. Beautiful Restaurant.
Highly recommended

Diner Review №48

We love Jin Ju. The food is always amazing and the service is good. We do take out and dine in, and both are equally as good. Highly recommend

Diner Review №49

Diner Review №53

So nick ordered for us online , it was our 1st time eating here and it was delicious!!!🤗

We’re thinking about eating in next time(our order was tuna Sushi and Stone pot chicken😋)

And although picking up everyone was very kind upon arrival, I appreciate it guys keep up the good work.

Diner Review №54

First time here, everything was delicious. I will definitely be back

Diner Review №55

Absolutely spectacular. Succulent taste; immaculate presentation. Great value. Cook your own, or let the pros do it. So happy to have excellent Kimchi Fried Rice w Shrimp; the self-bbq’d chicken, pork and ribs were awesome. Huge portions abound; the eel sushi was melt in your mouth. Bibimbap in the stone bowl. Come hungry. Enjoy an ice cold Sapporo to wash it all down. Friendly service. Can’t wait to go back.

Diner Review №56

Diner Review №57

Everything was absolutely amazing! From the service, to the cold beer, and the FOOD! The portions were so great and everything was so delicious 🤤 we got the ribeye and the shrimp for KBBQ, the meat was tender and the shrimp flavorful.

Brian, our server, was incredible. Extremely friendly, welcoming, and warm. He made sure we always had everything we needed and a smooth dining experience. Can’t wait to be back!

Diner Review №58

Great food, awesome service

Diner Review №59

This is my favorite Korean restaurant right now. The food is amazing, the service is fast, and the prices are very reasonable. Great date night restaurant.

Diner Review №60

Totally honest review.
Food was just ok, a little bit of rice and a small portion of meat. $59 it says it’s for 3 to 4 people but being honest it barely feeds 2. All really thin not tasty and too small of a portion.
There are no hostess and a few employers, grill was not hot enough so the meat took forever to cook and because of that it wasn’t good.
Chicken teriyaki tasted like it was stored in the wrong place ( bad taste ).
My opinion is for that amount of food and quality $34,99 would be the limit.
Would not come back.

Diner Review №61

I absolutely love this restaurant, amazing food , great service and atmosphere. I went for dinner and ordered sushi .The sushi was delicious, the prep was so good. It was amazing experience. Kudos to the chef and must checkout if you’re craving amazing Asian food.

hands down best korean food in saint petersburg. i love absolutely everything about this place . juicy flavorful meats and fantastic sides !

Diner Review №65

Diner Review №66

Great place to go for a date night or night out with the family. The food and service were amazing!! The hand painted mural on the wall is beautiful. You don’t have to do the hot pot cooking (think of the melting pot) but that option is there. My wife on I spent about $100 there but we got an appetizer, dinner, sushi, and drinks. There is plenty of parking here as well. Really great sake options too. Give this place a try and live them a good review too.

Diner Review №67

Diner Review №68

We showed up for a late dinner. They must have had a big dinner crowd right before we came because it took quite while to get seated. I almost threw in the towel at one point & then our waiter came... thank god! He was a great waiter, im glad we stayed. Food was on point & the jinju roll was amazing... drinks were delicious! I highly recommend!
*edited 11/03/23
Brian was our waiter that evening & we have since been back three times to see him! Can't wait til next time!
*edited again 1/26/24
Ordered take out & food was delicious. It's our once a month Friday night gig now, we ABSOLUTELY LOVE Brian

Diner Review №73

My fiancé and I stopped here on a whim as we were passing by, and man oh man am I glad we did! He got the flight of I got the Galbi (Marinated bone in short ribs) and my fiancé got the Chicken stone pot. I have tried many short ribs, and usually love cooking them myself on the grill top, but the flavor and tenderness Jinju is serving is now my #1 ALL TIME FAVORITE. The Chicken Stone Pot was full of flavor, juicy, and paired well with the veggies in the bowl. The bean sprouts and pickled daikon were very unique and delicious. The Korean Soju (Korean Vodka that has half the amount of alcohol ) flight was fun, too. On top of the great food, our server was very polite and attentive. Needless to say, we will be back. Next time, it will be with my family!

Amazing food! The Krab Rangoons, California Roll, and Teryaki Fried Rice were wonderful! Would definitely recommend

Diner Review №88

Excellent restaurant! Love Korean food and Jinju was amazing. The BBQ was great, the appetizers were terrific, and the soju flight was amazing. Service was terrific and the atmosphere was perfect. Highly recommended!

Diner Review №89

*Edited from 5 stars* really disappointed to see that prices have risen yet again. We have been regulars for the past 2 years and the tofu stone pot has gone up from $13 to $20 and bibimbap from $15 to $24. This is an absurd price leap and will unfortunately mean we will have to remove this restaurant from our regular rotation. A real shame.

Bibimbap and other stone pot dishes are awesome. Generous portions and the rice is served with the crispy bottom even when getting takeaway. Husband and I used to eat these all the time when living in Australia so very excited to now have a place we can get a good one again. Tried a few starters too which were all fresh, delicious and good serving sizes. A new go to for us! Keep it up guys! Thank you :)

Diner Review №90

If you are looking for authentic Korean food this is NOT the place for you. Food isn’t bad but definitely not authentic.

Diner Review №91

Best Bibimbap I've ever had. I think about it and refer people here all the time. Just wish they were open earlier so I could order catering for lunch.

Diner Review №92

Nice overall experience. Fairly priced for portion sizes provided. There were lots of options, it was a little overwhelming at first. There is an option to cook your meats yourself on a grill in the center of the table. I had a few questions about the process and the menu, as someone in my party had a food alergy. My server was not very helpful when asked how some items were made and seemed annoyed. Will return but will ask for a different server next time.

Diner Review №101

Food is great and service is friendly and efficient. Our server was Pachit who’s very attentive. We’re pretty much regulars here and this is the 2nd time Pachit was our server. Everything’s consistently good!

Diner Review №102

We go here all the time, food and service is always top notch. Our server Pachit is awesome, super attentive. Great experience all around. Will be back!

Diner Review №103

Always good food, nice ambience and excellent service from Patchit.

Diner Review №104

Great Korean barbecue restaurant. The food was very tasty and plenty full. They have a diverse menu with several options. You can also get sushi here. The staff were super friendly and attentive.

Diner Review №105

Went to check it out for the first time tonight with my mother and son and it was awesome. Pachit was our server. She was very attentive, explained everything, provided suggestions, and was very sweet with my son. My son loved cooking all the meats for us. The most fun he's had at a restaurant in a while. Good place, 5 stars, Pachit 10 stars, we'll be back.👍

Diner Review №106

Amazing food but the experience wouldn’t have been this good with out pachit she pointed us in all the right directions with all the amazing food!! THANK YOU PACHIT!!!!

Diner Review №107

Had a wonderful experience tonight for dinner with my husband. This was my first time eating there. The service was great and the food was excellent. We had the Spicy Tuna Nachos, Bake Mussels, Angry Tuna, Sexy Mama, Beef Bulgolki, and Ribeye Steak.

Diner Review №108

So delicious! Got course 1 and it was enough for the 4 of us! Everyone we interacted with was so nice and helpful! Will have to come back again!

Diner Review №109

Korean food is part of my diet and with lack of choices of Korean restaurants to choose from in St. Pete, we thought giving this place a try. Although the taste wasn’t authentic, they got most of the key ingredients and they are tasty. Gyoza’s aren’t too deep fried and the ginger salad was quite good. We ordered Japchae and Galbi which were both yummmy and satisfactory. The chili sauce and bean sauce that go with the gobli BBQ was really good.

Diner Review №110

Absolutely delicious!!! The service was fast and friendly.

Diner Review №111

love this place.

Diner Review №112

This was our first time. The food was amazing! Fresh, and flavorful! We really enjoyed the table grill and grilling our own dinner! We loved this place, the food, the service, the entire experience, and cannot wait to go back abd try some different items!!

Diner Review №113

Experience is a little different from the all-you can-eat places. There are 2 ways to get BBQ: prix fixe selection (2 of them) and a la carte. The meat portion of the a la carte is great, recommend the spicy pork. Small selection of high quality banchan

Diner Review №114

If you’re looking for excellent food and great service then I’d highly recommend this place. When I first walked in I was immediately greeted with a friendly smile who sat my family right away. Once we were seated you could truly feel the great vibe with an awesome Ambiance!! Add great food with large portions I felt like I was at mom and dads house. Oh and not to mention a great selection of beverages. This place is a must try!!

Diner Review №115

I felt like I could breath again! Their atmosphere is great and very positive as well as the art on their wall which was beautiful down to their food which if your hungry GOHERE they have an amazing selection and you can cook your own meat and veggies at your table! Super cool experience and our server BRIAN killed it on the menu explanation and refilling our drinks! If I could give them 10 ⭐️ I would! Thank you 🙏

This place was so good and the portions were very large. We did the bibimbap stone bowl, beef japchae, and the sexy mama roll and everything was amazing. All of the servers were super friendly and attentive

Diner Review №121

I went to go eat there on Wednesday and I got terrible service by a lady with colorful hair. I got my food before my drinks. And she was disrespectful to me. But there was a guy with glasses that had better service to the customers. The food was good but I would not like to be served by that lady again.

Diner Review №122

Very slow service, food was good but a bit expensive for what it is.

Diner Review №123

This is the worst restaurant not just the worst Korean restaurant. Food quality and service is horrible. Ordered hot stone beef bibimbap and the rice came burned. This is not crispy this is burned and you could taste the burn throughout the rice. When I called the waiter over, his response was oh this is cooked crispy and took the dish. He came back 5 minutes later to ask if I want a replacement. Like what a joke and lack of customer service!

Diner Review №124

It was cool. My group and I had a fun time.

Diner Review №125

So glad I went here! Great service, lovely soju drinks and tasty vegetarian options!

Diner Review №126

I went specifically for Korean BBQ. The restaurant and my daughter share the name 진주 Jinju means pearl. 반찬 Side dishes were mediocre, small and few. Kimchi was 3 out of 5 most of the sauces weren't even Korean. Ultimately the quality of the BBQ makes me want to return, next time I'm in the area. 갈비 Kalbi and 불고기 Bulgogi were great.

Diner Review №127

I love this place, food always turns out yummy and it just makes it for an interesting night out for dinner

Diner Review №128

One of my favorite restaurants in Saint Pete. Staff is awesome, food is delicious (they do a 👌 bimbimbop), and they also have the Korean BBQ option at the table if you ask for it.

Diner Review №129

Great food with good service the experience was excellent. Would recommend for everyone to try.

This is one of my favorite places to eat because my wife can have sushi and i get to play with a grill! You get a good portion of food no matter how you order. My wife got the volcano roll and i got steak to cook. She said the roll was the best she has had so far. With the steak you get 3 thin slices but it's plenty of food along with all the sides. This will be our new date night restaurant for sushi from now on.

Diner Review №140

This place is SO good!!!
Wow what a gem! This spot seems a lil unassuming from the front, but it's excellent from the moment you step inside. It's got great decoration and an incredible hand painted mural inside and tables both for Korean grill or regular restaurant style. Great atmosphere fo shure!

Wifey & I got boba Thai teas, which were good and came in a take-home plastic cup.
The pork kimchi dumplings were super delicious, great flavor, crunchy w soy scallions dipping sauce.
Wifey got sushi, delicious rolls and tasted fresh.
I got beef bibimbap. I have a weakness for bibimbap (rice & meat & toppings in sizzling stone bowl), they did not disappoint, it was scrumptious.
The only thing I wish they left the rice I'm the bowl a lil longer so it got a lil crunchy, but it was so so yummy.

Service was beyond great, really attentive and friendly, server was awesome!

A++ would highly recommend!!!

Diner Review №147

This is more than just food, this is a dinning experience. The Korean BBQ Grill table is perfect for special occasions or group get togethers. We came here for my husband's birthday and had a lot of fun, definitely made it a memorable evening. The food was fresh and the array of flavors made it a taste adventure. We ordered the Course One meal for 2 which cost $59 plus tax. It came with spicy chicken, teriyaki chicken, ribs, steak, rice, veggies, salad, kimchi and miso. More food than we were able to finish. Will definitely return here and highly recommend it 😁

Delicious food. Excellent professional service. Reasonable prices. All good except ambiance. I would recommend some Korean music instead of American top 40.

Diner Review №159

So much fun to cook your own food at your table. Nice variety of sides and dipping sauces. Love the cups of lettuce to wrap meats in. Fried ice cream is always good there! They found one little candle to make it a birthday treat! Everyone there was so nice to us.

Diner Review №162

This is not “authentic” Korean food as the name states. Extremely false advertising and almost criminal.

If you are looking for authentic Korean, I highly encourage you to read the negative reviews, most of which state that this, in fact, is not at all Korean

There isn’t any way that any of the reviewers who state “this is best Korean food” have ANY idea of what Korean food is. Which is sad. They are missing out. The clientele while I was there were all white folk… that should have been my first clue.

I would have given higher stars if the name simply said “Asian fusion,” in which they might of had a case. But there is zero authenticity of the food.

With that being said, the service was good and the place was clean. But ultimately I left extremely disappointed.

Diner Review №163

Everytime I come here, I always have a great time with great food and drink.

I'm still trying to figure out how they make their lavender milk tea 🧋 😄

Awesome surprise. Hadn't been in a while and never before used the grill. Good deal for 2-3 people. So full. Everything was delicious. My 8yr old son even loved it. The fried cheese cake was a sweet finale.

Diner Review №169

Had dinner at this beautiful establishment and experienced lovely service! Their options of sushi rolls are extensive and I was so happy with how fresh the fish was. Plating was gorgeous and well portioned. Would definitely recommend and can't wait to visit again :)

Diner Review №170

I am so freaking upset right now I paid $20 + for a spicy seafood tofu soup Last night. I ordered the seafood tofu soup and asked can I substitute chicken instead of tufo the younger waiter confirmed that they can make the adjustment. I didn't eat it right always so I didn't notice that the $20+ spicy seafood (sub chicken no tofu) which they agree that they can do, doesn't have any SEAFOOD at all. CRAZY. Really only chicken and tofu. Why tf wouldn't you put the seafood into the seafood soup. I simply asked can you substitute my tofu for chicken. No I did not ask for only chicken and tofu. The restaurant is closed now so I can't correct my order. HELLO to the OWNERS of this establishment I would really appreciate a refund or remake my spicy seafood (sub chicken no tofu) soup. No seafood in my seafood soup, are you serious? I spent 20+ freaking dollars and you forget my seafood in my seafood soup. I WANT A REFUND OR MY ORDER REMADE.

1st time coming here for my daughters birthday. She was craving Korean food.
We ordered the Spicy Tuna Nachos, good portions and tasty.
Beef Bibimbap was good and large portions.
We tried the Lobster roll and for price not worth the price and a bit disappointing 😶
Green tea cheese cake was yummy 😋
Overall OK, we may come back for their grilling course experience.

I'm Korean American.
My family have been waiting for go to Korean restaurant quite a while.
Due to Corona Virus, We were holding.

We were excited to have authentic Korean food.
Long story short.
This place is NOT serving Korean food.
Looks like it, but the way marinated meat, Bibim bob, and soft tofu soup.
And most of all side dishes are All WRONG!!

Made me really mad.
I asked server if the owner is Korean.
She didn't give me answer.
Probably some other country people open
Korean restaurant because its become hot.
I'll never go back , and I don't want you guys go there either.
You might get wrong idea about Korean food.
4 adults paid around $140.00
And really not worth it

NOT authentic Korean Food. It’s not even owned by Koreans nor do they even know anything about Korean Food. Mere mimic of “korean food” It’s over priced in all aspects. I am Korean and this was offensive

This isn’t Korean food… it’s like a weird attempt to imitate Korean food. Not sure who’s cooking but it ain’t authentic.
