Jin Korean Bbq

This was my first time here and I have to say, our server, Kalinda, was such an amazing person! She was so sweet and made us feel very welcomed! The food was great and we choose this place over the Brazilian steakhouse COMPLETELY!! The price is a bit up there but still worth it due to all you can eat. I do recommend some deserts be added to the menu but besides that, we would definitely come back again!

The Experience here is very nice and welcoming we ate until we passed out lol plus it was the perfect meal after the gym straight proteins!! Great job i will most definitely recommend this place to anyone i see and will mos def be coming back #ChefMichael

Went there for lunch. The servers (not the host) were really sweet an helpul and the atmosphere was nice and large, also very clean. But I think the quality and type of meat cuts (incluing seafood) were not excellent. Overall, the food could have been better, specially as far as quality and freshness. But I do recommend this place if you are crazy about Korean BBQ. There is a good chance you enjoy it!

This place has been my go to for years. I love how we can get up and get sides on our own and as much as we want, since most places only give a group those little side bowls. The meat were perfectly marinated and my whole family left full. My kids are picky eaters but they never complain when we come here. My 3 year old nephew also loves their Tofu soup.

I was surprised our bill is only $17/person All You Can Eat bbq. (regular price is $19.99 but they are running 15% off promotion till the end of the year). Appetizer included, Salad bar included, Soup included, Ice cream included, Drinks excluded. it’s the only kbbq place that still offers korean short ribs on the lunch menu. Aside from the meat selections on the menu, I did not take photos of the 3 self served bars: a pre-marinated protein/meat bar (pork, beef, chicken, squids,…), a salad bar, and a noodle/rice + stir fry bar, that 30+ extra dishes all included in the $19.99 price

This restaurant is my happy place! I come here just about every week, and everything from the atmosphere, the food, and the service keeps me coming back. I love this restaurant with a passion, and there are very few restaurants out there that continually give me the satisfaction Bon does. It is a well-managed, fairly priced establishment, and because of that they have a lifetime customer with me.

This place was instantly set apart from other Korean BBQ's because the meat and side dishes (banchan) were all self serve. Other restaurants threaten to charge for uneaten food, but since you can control your portions here, there was little fear we would end up with a whole plate full of unfinished food, or some item we didn't like. The meat buffet contained at least 10 kinds of meat, including pork belly, bulgogi, spicy bulgogi, bulgogi with vegetables, sausage, squid, pork, chicken, tofu, tripe and more. The side dish buffet included, chapjae, pickled onions with jalapeno, kimchi, seafood pancakes, fishcakes, potato salad, spicy cucumbers, edemame, seaweed salad, bean sprouts and more. As if this list of items wasn't enough, a paper menu at the table listed another dozen or so higher quality meats, including LA ribs (galbi), pineapple galbi steak, thick pork belly, brisket, & hot wings that could be ordered from the wait staff. The bulgogi with vegetables, had good flavor, was tender, and seasoned well. The spicy pork belly, again, pretty good, marinated well, and actually having some heat to it. However the plain bulgogi and pork belly fell a little short. We tried adding some sesame oil, salt and pepper, but was still left feeling they lacked the flavor compared to other places I've eaten. The fish cake was bland, and actually tested fishy. Fishcake isn't usually fishy tasting, and I've eaten it many times elsewhere. I commented that the chapjae had almost no flavor at all, and while chapjae doesn't really have a strong flavor to begin with, this really did lack almost any flavor at all.. The food itself was hit or miss, I had hoped everything would be amazing, but the area where this restaurant really stood out, was the wait staff.. We had at least 5 people in less than 15 minutes wait on us. At this point I realized what was going on.. Rather than a single waiter/waitress assigned to our table, they had a staff of at least half a dozen people, who were walking the entire dining floor, checking grills, glasses, and plates at every table. This was the first restaurant I'd ever eaten at that waited on tables this way. Our drinks never went empty, grills that were smoking or dirty were replaced within a minute of asking, and empty plates were cleared within 2 minutes of being placed at the end of the table. Service wise this was nearly as good as you can get. Staff was friendly, joking, and super attentive. After a few plates of food we decided to explore the specialty meat menu and order some LA Ribs (Galbi). The plate that came out had 4 huge slices of rib meat. We put 2 on the grill plain, grilled them until they started to get a golden tint. These were good, but a bit plain. I prepared a bowl of teriyaki sauce, onion and bell peppers, returned to the table, poured it over the next 2 rib slices and started to cook those. While this created a bit of smoke, the ribs turned out great. We finished up the ribs, and figured we might as well order a single pineapple steak as our last item. The steak was noticeably a better cut of meat, but I personally enjoyed grilled pineapple and could have eaten a few more slices. At the end of our meal our waitress brought out a few bowls of shikeh. I'd never heard of this item before. It was a translucent looking liquid with small bits of what appeared to be rice in the bottom. I took a sip and realized instantly it tasted like rice pudding with cinnamon and sugar. Everyone at the table finished their bowl pretty quick, It was one of the items listed on the specialty menu that are included with the meal. Overall the food was decent, I wouldn't say it was the best Korean BBQ I've had. The meat quality was decent, but not fantastic. The service, variety of meat and sides, and way the entire place was setup was where this place stood out. I would return again, definitely a place you have to go to hungry, but I also have more Korean BBQ's on my list to try in Houston.
