Excellent food, fun cocktails, great atmosphere, and awesome service. I've been here three times so far and everytime is a slame dunk! Most important as well is the atmosphere, pear that with great food and I will keep coming back! Also one of the best desserts I have had in a long time, their chocolate silk pie with vanilla gelato!

One of the few places that offers variety of amazing dishes. Asian fusion with everything else. Atmosphere is always lovely and workers are very tentative and kind. Place is always clean as well. I love it. I go atleast once a month to eat ♄

I lived the food, absolutely delish. Small portions. Great atmosphere and service. Pomegranate martini was the best! This is the edit for 2nd visit- pomegranate martini: still good (seemed smaller) potsticker appetizer: a little dry and rubbery. Wait for the 3rd time.

Questionable ambiance, adequate service. Meat had no flavor and was bland. Bad and expensive. A waste of steak and $$ :(

We’ve rated Jinja four stars across food, service, and atmosphere because it remains a restaurant we genuinely enjoy—but it’s also one that could easily elevate from “very good” to truly exceptional with a bit more consistency. The kitchen is capable of excellent dishes, yet portion sizes vary from visit to visit, and during busy periods plates can arrive cooler than they should or slightly dried out, as if they’ve lingered too long under the heat lamps at the pass.

Service follows a similar pattern: generally solid, sometimes outstanding, but not reliably at that higher level. None of these issues overshadow the strengths of the menu or the overall experience, but they are noticeable enough that we hope management takes them seriously.

Jinja still offers strong value and a creative Asian‑fusion menu that keeps us coming back. Our four‑star review reflects both our appreciation and our hope that the restaurant tightens these small but important details so it can consistently deliver the quality it’s clearly capable of.

I rarely do this, but I was so impressed with my experience. It was my first time here. I sat at the bar during happy hour that service was great... 10 stars to the cooks, the drinks were great and the speed of service was perfect. I will be back! Keep it up!
