We made a reservation on a friend's recommendation and the food was outstanding. Curry fritter, spicy pork and bigogi were stellar. The ginger tea is fresh pressed from the root and delightful. We will be back to this hidden gem. It's off the beaten track. Can't say enough good things about it.
Ordered takeout and it was delicious! Large portions and perfect balance of textures and flavors. What a hidden gem.
Our office was treated to a catered meal from JY Kitchen, and their #1 meal was the best Korean meal I’ve had in more than 10 years! The people who got the vegetarian #2 meal also loved theirs. The meal included so much food, all perfect portions and all amazingly prepared. Can’t wait to come back to this restaurant to try more food! Our lunch included a salad, serving of rice, fruit, spicy cucumbers, an egg dish, breaded cucumbers, fried chicken, bulgogi beef and a madeleine...read full review

JY Kitchen is a delightful Korean restaurant that offers delicious and highly recommended dishes such as beef bulgogi, ramen, and veggie dumplings. The side dishes, particularly the kimchi, are fantastic. The service is exceptional, with a very nice man who is likely the owner, providing excellent recommendations. He communicates well about the meals, ensuring customers know how spicy each dish is and even offers tips for enjoying leftovers. The atmosphere is basic, yet cozy and welcoming, creating a unique dining experience. Their menu features standout items like the Creamy Crab Egg Roll and Spicy Pork, with many customers praising the Pancake with Shrimp and Zucchini. Catered meals are also popular, with perfect portions and amazingly prepared food, including bulgogi beef, fried chicken, and a madeleine cookie. Customers say the food is authentic, not Americanized, and not much sweetened. The restaurant is located outside a typical commercial area, so it may not look like a restaurant from outside. It is recommended to make a reservation as parking may be a bit confusing. Overall, JY Kitchen is a hidden gem in Lexington, with a menu full of delicious dishes waiting to be explored, and customers look forward to returning for more.
