Food is interesting and fun. Just had some discrepancies in heat level. One item I found very spicy wasn't identified to be so on the menu. Another was identified as spicy, and really wasn't at all. And the waitress did say that when I asked, so glad I did ask. The spicy mango sushi was yum! (Not spicy)

Overall it was an okay experience, this was my 2nd time being here. It was really hot inside the restaurant and a bit uncomfortable. Food was good (Cucumber salad, calamari, pork belly buns) though portions are not huge for price. Lychee martini was very good, but my espresso martini was extremely watered down unfortunately. I enjoy the vibe of the restaurant and service was good. I've been here once before to try other cocktails (creamsicle, and margarita) and those were very good.

The food here was good and service was great. However, the food has been better in the past and the kitchen was not accommodating to our odd numbered group and would not serve half orders of paired dishes. In a city with many options, I was disappointed that they were so rigid.

What a quaint little restaurant. The ambiance of the restaurant is lovely. Good size menu for food and drinks. Very good value. Will definitely head back.
Patty
Went to try their Wednesday Date Night menu. The Ahi Tuna Crudo was perfection, iceberg salad was alright, spicy tuna sushi roll had interesting but overpowering/clashing flavors, and smoked pork belly with fried buns was pretty good save for the serving size which was honestly laughable for two people. Dessert was condensed milk soft serve with Korean doughnuts: 10/10. Decent Coconut cocktail. Service was great and the ambience was nice and chill. Would definitely come back to try their other dishes.

First time for all (5) of us to this outstanding restaurant. Food was fabulous, service was exceptional and overall vibe and experience was AWESOME! We will be back and we will recommend to friends and family!

The half-priced snacks for Happy Hour was such a great deal! Every single dish was delicious. All we had to do was order a single pizza on top of that and our party of three was fully satisfied. The drinks were also delicious. I especially enjoyed the Hi-Chew Spritz. Service was excellent as well.

Four of us had cocktails and shared a variety of items. The broccoli Waldorf salad and crushed cucumber salad arrived first followed by the pork bao buns and the fried chicken.! Everything was tasty with the chicken being exceptional! Dessert was ordered and shared as well....the Korean donuts were our favorite with the soft serve ice cream. Service was attentive and timely without being intrusive. A perfect evening.
Dianna
The food and our server was excellent. Our mains unfortunately came to our table at much different times for some reason, but not a huge deal. The beef carpaccio was out-of-this world delicious!
This was my second time at Jinbar and it did not disappoint! The food and service was fantastic again. The food was served very quickly and everything tasted better and better with every bite. They have a great selection of vegetarian dishes. I would highly recommend this restaurant to everyone.

Hosting our Christmas party here was such a special experience for me. It’s the kind of night you wish you could rewind and relive. We were beautifully looked after by Amane (GM), Hyungjae (Chef), Brooke, and the wonderful team. Course after course arrived, each one better than the last. One of our guests said the dumplings were the best he had ever eaten in his life…. And he’s old! We felt like we tasted nearly the entire menu, and every dish was exceptional. The cocktails were outstanding, the music was just right, and the service was thoughtful, genuine, and full of heart. It felt less like dining out and more like being welcomed into something familiar and celebratory. A night I’ll always remember fondly. Thank you JinBAR team!

What an absolute joy hosting our annual Christmas party here. From the moment we arrived, the energy was contagious and the care was unmistakable. Huge kudos to Amane (GM), Hyungjae (Chef), Brooke (our wonderful server), and the rest of the incredible team who made the night unforgettable. The 10 course meal was OUTSTANDING!
The staff’s happiness set the tone and you could feel it in every interaction. We laughed, we ate, we drank, and yes… we danced. The music was perfectly curated, the food was exceptional, and the cocktails were truly next-level. Service wasn’t just great, it was thoughtful, warm, and above and beyond in every way. It felt less like a venue and more like a place where memories are made. The kind of night that leaves you smiling long after it ends. We’ll be talking about this one for a long time.
