Delicious food and drinks! That Bloody Mary was the best I’ve had with the chili infusion and local vodka. The avocado for perfectly fried and the mint sauce was so unique and flavorful too. The Pad Thai was not traditional, per se, but it was also very flavorful, balanced and all around delicious, as was the curry! We had excellent service and the atmosphere was really nice. We’ll be back again for sure when we visit the area again!

Very good food. On the higher side of prices, but they do have options for small and large portions which was nice. The shrimp Cesar salad was delicious, and they had lots of ginger in it. The coconut soup was similarly flavored to a Thai lemongrass coconut soup, and the shaking beef was good as well. The star of the show was dessert, and was gone before I remembered to take pictures, the chocolate cake and espresso gelato.

Amazing place. You'd think a place like this would be expensive but it wasn't. For our appetizer we had the calimari, not joke these were the best calimaris we've ever had. It packed a lot of flavor and it wasn't overly battered before frying it seemed. For my entree I had the salmon, wasn't dry like other places but juicy. The sweet cucumbers were amazing as well. For dessert, we had the silk chocolate cake, which came with a free side of gelato of your choice of flavor. Our server was very attentive. The best part was that our food came out within 5-7 minutes of ordering. Will definitely come back.

Jinja Bistro's are always top notch when it comes to the plates and presentation. Food is always made to perfection. The Halibut dish was delicious. The. Lettuce wraps and sauce are a perfect fresh appetizer as well as the most tasty coconut shrimp soup. The Mojito is a blast of fresh mint and lime. The Hibiscus tea is refreshing. The difference between this Jinja's and others was the service. Philip was great , accommodating but not over bearing. Shout out to the manager making sure we were taken care of. If it's Asian cuisine you're craving i suggest this Jinja's.

What a wonderful restaurant! It’s an Asian infusion menu that is wonderfully diverse! We were seated quickly and our drink order was taken almost immediately. The waiter, who happened to be the bartender as well, was attentive, friendly and helpful. We started with appetizers; ahi tuna roll and spring rolls that was served with 2 dipping sauces. We then ordered the main course, both of which did not take long to come out. It definitely is a great place and a must try!

Great place! Came for Happy Hour on a Friday. Happy Hour goes until 7:00 PM with $2 off small sized appetizers, $3 off mixed drinks 🍹 or 🍷 wine. $1 off beer 🍺. Food was good. Service was great. We recommend coming here! We will be coming here more often with the happy hour specials and great service!

Stopped for dinner and had an amazing evening.
Dom, our server, was on it.
Food and drinks were delicious.
Ahi tuna tempura opened dinner exquisitely. You must try this opener.
Sesame chicken was perfectly prepared. Lots of flavor, nothing overpowering.
I was seated immediately and the atmosphere was lively but polite.
This is a hidden gem on the Eastside.
You need to try Jinja.

My food was soooooo good last time and pretty good today. But one of the dishes in my party was BURNT. It was NOT good. Additionally the service was good in the beginning and not as good later. Also the place was so dark. We literally had to use our phones to see the menu????? Overall, I’ve had two good experiences but it seems inconsistent and the dark corner we were in wasn’t great.
Matthew Trujillo
Definitely enjoyed dinner with my family it won't be my last time there. Great place!

Had a wonderful birthday dinner here with family- great, dimly-lit ambiance, a pretty amazing menu (everything looked great!!), and solid (if not mindblowing) food. Great drinks, too!

Great place to taste different plates in a really cool environment!! The food was delicious, really tasty. Moreover, the service was really nice and caring. In their menu they have vegeterian and gluten-free options.
Jonathon Stopper
It has excellent food, great service and an ambiance that is reminiscent of the quality restaurants of years past.
Robert, the manager, makes you feel like an old personal friend.
Whenever I am in ABQ, I go there as often as possible.

Super friendly staff! Waiter was so nice and totally on it. The food was excellent. We ordered the avocado tempura and the sauce was this cilantro mint stuff I could have eaten with everything. The steak and rice was cooked perfectly. Hibiscus teas were refreshing. Lovely quiet dinner.

The food is ok. Just for the price I expect more. It's never bad though. Service has always been wonderful. The interior is unique and unlike other restaurants pretty dark on the inside.
Kathryn Chavez
Food was great! But way too hot in there, not even comfort cooling -- come on its over 100 degrees outside and I go to a place like yours for cool beverages and to cool off. It felt like I was sitting outside. Our waitress was a total ditz. Forgot to place the order for one of the appetizers we wanted and then didn't listen and forgot to order one of our entrees. Really? Maybe the heat got to her but not one of my best experiences at Jinja. 4 stars only because the food is really good. Otherwise a less than average dining experience.

Had a great server Josh! Food was ok but Have to say desserts are fabulous!
Erich Campbell
Always great atmosphere, fantastic food, and great drinks. The best value and flavor, bar none!
Anneliese Steen Elrod
Love the drinks here. Much more sophisticated than the average restaurant, especially off the Prohibition menu. We ate off the Happy Hour menu, with small plates including sashimi grade tuna, tiger prawn shrimp and some Asian glazed wings. Delicious. Not exactly cheap, but great service and ambiance this evening.
Mia Mori
Stephanie is the best bartender! The appetizers are so tasty too. My favorites are the wings and spring rolls.
Carol Susan Chupp
Nice atmosphere, service and delicious pan asian food. Different from the usual chain restaurant.

The food was very good. We are visiting from Plano Texas for the balloon festival.

Another great Friday night with Mayer at Jinja with our waiter, Cliftin!
Anntherese Jaramillo
Love the appetizers and the udon noodles with chicken or shrimp... Awesome martinis.....
Stephanie Lopez
My husband and I often go to Jinja for our date nights away from the kids. We have been there many times and the last time we went for our anniversary (late October), the service was terrible. We ended up leaving after our appetizer. To make matters worse, I mentioned it to the manager who did nothing. I also emailed Jinja and no one ever responded. We won't be back.
Robin Troy
Beef skewers are so good with fried rice. Silk chocolate molten cake with coffee ice cream was yummy!
