My mom and I have been to a lot of Korean restaurants in LA, and Jincook is far by one of the best we've had. The quality of their food is top-notch and service was great. Now I understand the hype!

We tried...
-Galbi Jjim Braised Beef Short Ribs were incredibly soft, tender and fall of the bone, sauce was very flavorful, slightly sweet from kobucha and spicy! Portion is huge that feeds 4 people. Add cheese to elevate the flavor even more.
-Marinated Dumplings - Slightly crispy on the outside and the meat filling was flavorful. So good!
-Souvide Porkbelly -OMG melt in your mouth porkbelly slices!! So amazing!
-Chicken Katsu Curry - Perfectly fried breaded chicken on a bed of white rice and curry sauce.

Service was welcoming and inviting and our server was patient with all the questions I had. Highly recommend this place.

TIP:
-Cheap parking at the end of the street

I had a wonderful experience at this Korean restaurant. The food was absolutely delicious, especially the soup , it tasted so rich, comforting, and full of flavor. You could really tell it was made with care and authentic ingredients. Every bite felt warm and satisfying, and the portions were generous. The side dishes were fresh and nicely prepared as well. The staff were very friendly and welcoming, creating a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere. They checked in on us kindly and made sure everything was perfect. Overall, it was a great dining experience, and I would definitely visit again.

This Korean food was some of the best I have had in LA. The cold noodle soup and spare ribs were so succulent and delicious. I would recommend getting the katsu combo so you can try two different types for the price of one. We got the chicken and the pork and the pork was definitely better. 10/10.

The restaurant is so delicious! I come here with my sister often to get their traditional pork soup! The pork is so soft, it practically melts on your tongue! The staff are really nice and work very efficiently. I have recommended this place to friends and they always come back. It's definitely one of my go-to Korean restaurants. 🙂‍↕️🫰🏽
