Visited Jin Cook in Glendale today for some authentic korean soul food. Upon entering the store we noticed all the authentic decor at the entrance. The restaurant had a good amount of tables and we were seated immediately. Shortly after it began to fill up and it was a full house. My friends and I ordered the braised beef short ribs (galbi jjim), seafood pancake, chicken noodle soup (kal guk soo), steamed dumplings and brisket hot stone. The braised short rib was tender and fall off the bone. The onions, rice cake, pumpkin and potato were soft and soaked up all the sauce that it came with giving us a punch of flavor with every bite. Would recommend eating it with rice to not waste any sauce. The cheese was evenly distributed on top and torched at the table. The seafood pancake had crispy edges and chunks of seafood in every bite. The steamed dumplings were pretty standard with the pork filling. I liked how thin the wrapper was and meat was flavorful. The chicken noodle soup was perfect for the chilly day we had. It was nice and warm which helped warm up our stomach before the meal. The noodles were nice and chewy while chicken was shredded and soft. The brisket hot stone reminded

REC: Rose Tteokbokki First is the food. Solid 4 Stars. We got the Sweet Potato Cheese Curry Katsu, Bbimbap Hot Stone, ⭐️Rose Tteokbokki, and Chicken Noodle Soup. The Rose Tteokbokki was the best, just the right amount of sweetness, savory, and spicy all together, and the rice cake was perfect. The rest of the food was fine, but I would NOT recommend the Bbimbap, as it was quite bland. There are many other Korean restaurants that do better. Second is the service. This is what I am most disappointed and dissatisfied with. To start off, when we got seated, we did not instantly get water or side dishes, which I observed that other guests who arrived after us immediately got. Then we waited for many minutes for our server to take our order, but they never came. Instead, I had to waive down the server myself, and AFTER we ordered, we were asked to move to another table to accommodate a bigger party. We did not want to make it hard on the servers, especially because this was a small restaurant. I thought that the servers would be grateful, but after we were seated in the other table (which was located in the corner of the restaurant), they continued to ignore us. On top of that, there i

Jincook is Korean soul food. Everything was amazing the flavors were rich and satisfying. I still can’t stop thinking about how good the food was. I absolutely loved the steamed pork dumplings and the seasoned dumplings. All of the dishes and side dishes feel traditional and also seem very healthy. We also ordered the spicy tofu soup (soondubu jjigae), which I had never tried before, and it was delicious. We ordered bibim noodles with plenty of chicken and vegetables it was refreshing, almost like a chicken salad, and so tasty. I will definitely order it again next time. We also tried the Korean galbi and Korean garlic soy chicken, and everything was great. I was really happy that at Jincook you can enjoy both spicy flavors and comforting, mild flavors. Overall, it was a very satisfying experience

This is the kind of meal you crave when you want something warm, filling, and full of flavor🫶🏼 The Bulgogi Hot Stone arrived sizzling, with tender beef and rice that gets crispy as you eat. The Sweet Potato Cheese Katsu surprised us with its sweetness and gooey center, while the Pork Katsu was perfectly breaded and juicy. The Korean BBQ Short Rib was deeply savory and comforting, and the Korean Pancake added that crispy, shareable bite every table needs. Pair it all with a Soju Highball, and it’s comfort food done right.

If you want some Korean soul food then this place is for you. The decor takes you back in time, everything is so clean and the service is super friendly. Great to see more Korean restaurants in the city. We ordered Sweet potato cheese curry katsu , Brisket hot stone , Traditional pork soup, Garlic soy chicken, Bibimbap hot stone, Mushroom japchae, and Marinated dumpling. I definitely recommend getting the hot stone dishes since I love how it crisps up the rice. Definitely one of my top favorites that’s not AYCE Korean food. Plenty of pay parking in the back.
