Food: I have been to other popular k-bbq resto and this is one on the top of my list. Both the meat and sauce is flavorful.
Place: This branch has a lot of space and I loved the industrial look of it.
Price: Quite expensive.
They have a plenty of attendees who can assist you right-away. The kinds of food they serve are really good. The restaurant has a very good ventilation.
My favorites are the Dan Wasum and unmarinated wusamgyup.
Amazing food and friendly staffs. Ron is outstanding!!! They are very efficient and helpful...
Loved their version of Raboki. Really delicious and worth the money.
TASTE & PRICING
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Masarap talaga yung sauce and meat nila. Bagay na bagay.
SERVICE
⭐⭐⭐⭐
Saktong bilis lang yung pag-refill ng mga side dish. Yung meat mabilis magrefill. Madali ring maluto hindi kayo lugi sa oras. Pagalingan na lang magluto yan HAHA!Yung kimchi mabagal ang refill (or mabilis lang namin maubos talaga yung kimchi)
CLEANLINESS
⭐⭐⭐⭐
Malinis naman yung lugar, medyo yung upuan/couch medyo may oil. Pinunasan na lang namin.
AMBIENCE
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Korean na korean kasi korean yung mga tugtog. Bigbang ganon saka mga lumang kanta ng EXO. hahaha!
Their meat flavors are unique that makes this unli k-bbq more special than others out there. Cajun is one of my favorites. I hoped thay their sidings don't look plain. Service is warm and fast.
I've tried other popular unli k-bbq restaurants (Samgyupsalamat and RB), but my favorite would still be Jin Joo. The quality of meat is really good. Their cheese is my favorite. Sides are also okay but could be improved. I also like the ambiance of the restaurant - it is not too congested unlike the others. I suggest you go during off-peak hours. Service is superb. :)
Favorite samgyupsal place! Love the food. The meat is always juicy. The side dishes are flavorful. Very affordable. Really a value for money
They could improve on service though. It was a bit slow given the amount of people dining in.

What we liked/didn't like:
It was our second time dining here and the service is consistently fast. The staff were very attentive, and you don't have to wait too long for anything to be served. Their meat offerings were just okay though, nothing really stands out in terms of flavor, but I liked the beef best. Additionally, I feel that the sides were lacking. Overall still a good dining experience though.
I loved this place but it's on the more expensive side of the kbbq spectrum. Will definitely come back though!
The meat choices were satisfyingly good. Also the side dishes are okay even though the choices are limited. Ambience is a plus! Food was worth the price, not too expensive and not to cheap.

Jin Joo is one of my favorite korean restaurants! All meats are so delicious! This is our first choice when craving for korean barbecue. Crews are so nice and friendly. Their banchans are unlimited and very yummy. I like the fish cake and kimbap especially. So if you're wanting to celebrate anything or just meeting up with your friends, this is the place to be. They're serving unlimited meat for 2 hours only but I think it's enough to taste everything! ❤
I love the cheese in the Korean grill. There are a lot of types of meat with different marinades for every type of craving. The only catch is you will smell like smoke and food after your meal.
Ambiance ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Service ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Food ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
We availed their unli meat promo which had its hits and misses. The pork skin was a bit of the challenge so I wouldn't recommend it if you don't like very chewy texture. But overall, it's definitely value for your money. Would like to go back next time to try other options on their menu.
I liked the selection of the side dishes. Flavors seemed to play with my taste buds, not all that is Korean is spicy. The meat prep was delicious, too.
JinJoo opens at 11am on Sundays and we were an hour late for that. The good thing is, visitors are given 2 hours to finish their "eat all you can". So we just had an hour to wait, we just strolled around Podium.
License to Eat
We came during the off hours as this place gets so full. Overall great value for money if you like meats. They give you hot and cold tea and a hot egg soup. One price for unlimited meats.
We ordered the Jin Joo's 8 Flavours and its perfect. 💕💕💕
We didn't go for their Unli option cause the staff highlighted the difference of their unli meat to these 8 flavors.
Note that they have too many side dish as well 👌
Loved the ambiance in this Korean grill resto. You can choose from 10 different flavors, and the ones we tried are satisfying. The cheese is an added bonus as well.
We are looking for korean bbq restaurant that is not crowded and offers different korean dishes that compliments their bbq set. I came across Jin Joo and what i experienced is enough for my expectation.
Good for groups, yummy food and great service.
Tip: they have eatigo for discount
BEST SAMYUP-BEEF SO FAR
QUALITY:
Marbling beef, cut into just the right amount of thickness. Not to thin so it doesn’t shrink too much when grilled. And the taste, oh so fresh and tasty. 😬
AMBIANCE: 5 star!
SIDE DISHES:
Below average.
We availed their MetroDeal voucher for unli meat so we got a discounted rate. It's worth the price we paid. There are a lot of different flavors and cuts of beef, pork, and chicken available. The staff are also efficient in attending to orders and changing grills. They are not that fast considering it was a pre-holiday night and there were lots of people at that time, but they are not very slow either.
The plain and cajun seasoned meat are my favorite. They also have a good variety of side dishes that taste really good. It's a must-try restaurant although my advise is go here on off-peak hours since the line could get really long
I love this place! Their quality meat keeps you coming back. I love their spicy beef and they give you a lot of banchans (which are delicious as well) and cheese upon request (which is also free.) The staff is very friendly and attentive. Once you finish your plates of meat for grilling, they immediately ask you what your next order is. I’ve only been here twice but I keep telling my friends and family about this place just so I have an excuse to go again and not alone 😂 First time I went was on off hours on a Friday so, there wasn’t that many people and the second time I went was also on an off hour but on a weekday so barely any people. Definitely a must try! Good for couples and they serve big groups as well.
All you can eat. Cutting meat and Vegetables are fresh and well prepared. Smokeless Korean BBQ restaurant, this offset is bigger than Jin Joo - SM Aura branch. I'm a great fan of beef. Hence, only beef appeared ok my table. Otherwise, raw beef is a bit fatty. I would suggest you need to add tenderloin on menu for those who is looking for non fat meat. You should know how to eat like a local Korean in order to meld your own dipping sauce that may help you more enjoy the meal. If you are seeking for a not busy Korean BBQ restaurant. You are here. All servers are good manner and variety. Grilling here again in a while.
One of the best korean grills I’ve tried. They have lots of side-dish, and vegetables are fresh. Ambiance is good and with friendly, accommodating staff. This place is recommended for korean grill lovers. 👍🏻
Visited again and both the quality of meat and service of staff improved. They were friendlier
and more attentive. Keep up the good work
Old review 1 star:
Grumpy staff
Bad service.
sinungitan ako kasi sabi ko table for 1
eh bakit ba gusto ko mag kbbq magisa may pambayad naman ako.
Seeing other 1 star here.. mukhang may attitude problem ang mga nandito
Friendly and very accommodating staffs, good food, very nice ambiance, accessible location. Great ventilation, too. You won't get out smelling like kimchi, and grilled meat.
Food is quite pricey compared to other Korean Restaurants (except if you're going to avail the unlimited promo, of course), but it's worth it. Very much value for money. I will definitely come back!!!
We ordered Buddae Jiggae, which I looooooved (was my first time to eat Buddae Jiggae). We didn't expect the serving to be that big! Like good for 4-6 persons big, and there were just the two of us lol. It was cooked in front of us (except the broth).
We also ordered the all time favorite Samgyeopsal. The meat was thick and tender. The side dishes were fresh and very delicious.
If you're looking for a not-so-crowded Korean Restaurant, then you should definitely check this out!
One of the best samgyusal serving resto I’ve been to. Jin Joo in Podium is a must visit. The quality of their meat products are outstanding. I really like the different choices given to us. Price is at 499 per head but I asure you that its gonna be worth it.
The resto is really clean and the staff are nice and very attentive. They actually get to refill our orders right away so there is limited to no waiting time for our next pork bbq.
They actually can get full house at times so I suggest you call for a reservation. Definitely on top of my list for samgyup places. 👍
Jin Joo is one of those places I wanted to try ever since and finally their branch in Podium and Eastwood started offering Unlimited Meat that is good for 2 hours.
However, started to dislike Korean BBQ 'coz of a very bad experience at one of those places in Malate Manila.
But, eating at Jin Joo changed my experience again. And I just had that craving again.
Ambiance - 5.0/5.0
The neon lights and great interiors makes Jin Joo stand out from other restaurants out there. Not to mention, their chairs and tables are spacious and not intimidating to be sat upon at all.
Service - 2.5/5.0
This is where we got some issues. The turnover of requests is really slow. I understand that there were a lot of customers but the waiting time is pretty long.
Food - 4.0/5.0
The meats are all good. They are well marinated and to be fair the side dishes are pretty okay too.
Jin Joo is now part of my favorite KBBQ places.
Went here around lunch time on a sunday. There were no queues during that time. The food is good but what really impressed me is the service. The staff were really nice, polite and were very attentive. I will definitely be back for another korean bbq experience.
Ate here yesterday and I really liked that there were a lot of beef choices. Ambiance is also nice and very clean. Not too much smoke when you grill.

Tried this restaurant with my girl friends and we really loved it. Food is great and the service is really good. One of the best Korean BBQ restaurants that’s I’ve tried
I like the bright and warm interiors of Jin Joo. If you are not into unli samgyup like me, this might be the place for you. It's less crowded and comes with less pressure to eat a lot since they are in per oder basis. My friends and I tried the seven flavors (and the soup but i forgot the name, it was too spicy for my liking but it's the way it's meant to taste). The pork cuts are thick so it takes quite a while to grill (and perhaps it would be better to have thinner slices but more strips). Our least fave was the curry flavored one and our most fave was the bbq/honey flavored one.
Best Korean resto in Pasig/Manda area! Cheese Galbi is the best there is! Also, the place is spacious, clean, and the staff are very accommodating.
Four stars because there are times when the resto is short staffed and it takes time to order. But aside from that, everything’s great. Food is okay.
Jin Joo Korean Grill is a restaurant that specializes in Korean BBQ concept. Currently, for just Php499, you get to enjoy unlimited Korean BBQ with 10 Flavors of Beef, Pork, Chicken. They pioneered cheese dip offerings in a Korean BBQ set-up. The ambiance is hip and modern. There’s table good for big groups and for single diners as well. Each tables has an exhaust for your convenience.
The place was nice, shows great furnitures 👍🏼. Some servers were not accommodating, meat takes time to be ordered. Meat was okay, it offers pork, beef and chicken, it even has pig’s skin. Lettuce were fresh and crunchy. Side dishes were delicious, especially the fish cake, kimchi and banana. Ventilation system was nice, it’s not hot as well inside (air-con was working well).
We bought vouchers from metro deal for 484 each for dinner. The meats are high-quality and flavorful, actually way better than other hype korean grill restaurants. Only downside is refilling of meats take too long that we end up grilling and eating nothing.
Meat and banchan were great. Place, was too small. Noisy crowd but it’s clean. It’s unli not buffet. Order all you can style. Staff were attentive.

It's my first time dining at Jin Joo. The place has a pleasing ambiance (for me). It was bright inside. Even at 2:00PM, it's crowded.
They have an exciting offer. For only P499.00, customers can avail unlimited servings of 10 flavors of meat (chicken, pork, beef). I can remember what I liked among the served meat, the Dak Galbi and Dan Wusam. The other meat were very indistinguishable in taste (my opinion only). We also tried the Cheesy Pork Ribs which was tasty, and remarkably, it has that fall-off-the-bone consistency.
Service is okay on the start (preparing drinks, banchan) though it became inconsistent. We were on the corner of the restaurant and it was hard to get the attention of staff.
Dishes on the menu is reasonably priced. It's definitely one of my options for unlimited Korean BBQ grilling!
![Zomato]( "Recensione")
Not our initial choice for lunch. We're supposed to have lunch at a different Korean restaurant outside Podium but since it was raining and they have unlimited meat promo, we've decided to give this a try. Read some of the reviews here first before actually deciding to choose this. I'd say some of the negative and positive comments are correct.
Service: Not really exceptional but I've noticed that some of the staff are really trying their best.
Food: We've only tried the unlimited promo for P499. We're allowed to order three plates of meat at the same time and once consumed, order another three or less. We're able to consume eight plates. Side dishes are unlimited but we never really consumed our side dishes as we just wanted the meat. Grilled meat is commendable, not really great tasting but is acceptable. Spending P499 is worth it if you'll get unlimited meat for two hours, plus you get to grill it on your own.
Ambience: Place looks clean but not cold. Korean music is playing on the background. They have comfortable seating which makes you enjoy your food well.
Value for money: Spending P499 is definitely worth it.
In Korea, Jin-joo is unisex given name but mostly a name referring for a sweet, loving, caring and genuine girl. The name also translates to "pearl". As per Wikipedia, the meaning differs based on the hanja used to write each syllable of the given name. There are 43 hanja with the reading "jin" and 56 hanja with the reading "joo" on the South Korean government's official list of hanja which may be registered for use in given names.
This is my first time at Jin Joo Korean Grill The Podium Branch. And experience Jin Joo’s 10 FLAVOURS UNLIMITED for 2 hours for Php499.00. You can either choose beef, pork or chicken under the 10 Flavours. The promo was good but I think the server needs to be more attentive and provide customers assistance more faster.
And aside from the unlimited Inwas able to try my favorites like the Buddae Jiggae and Cheesy Beef Ribs, which is so really really good.
#ilovetoeatph 😃❤️
This and the Eastwood branch both have unli meat selections for 550 @ dinner. We tried almost all the options and loved everything, but especially the cajun !
Another dish we loved was the ribs wrapped in cheese.
Our favorite sides were the kimchi fishcakes and the rabokki.
Service was great and the people were friendly and efficient.
Will definitely come back to try more.
At less than Php 500, this unlimited Korean Barbecue place a great place to pigout in when in Podium. When it comes to their beef and pork, they have around 8 kinds of flavors to choose from. If one is not in the mood for the unlimited option, Jin Joo also has an ala carte menu. For those looking for the melted cheese dip/sauce that accompanies the meat---yes, the one that has since gone viral online, they have it here!
So far, this is my most favorite Korean Grill. The place is very elegant. The service is very nice. And of course, the food is great. I love the tenderness of the meat for the unli barbecue (and there 10 flavors to choose from!). I also tried the 8 Flavors and it was really good. It's worth the try and repeat. 😊
Found my new favorite KBBQ place! Staff were super friendly and quick to provide. They had a good selection of meats and side dishes. The place gets super busy during the weekends so be sure to get there as soon as the mall opens haha
The most classy unlimited samyupsal I have ever been to! Also the spaciest I have ever been to. We spontaneously entered and dined in for unli samyup, served right away and started grilling! Had a fun experience in this restaurant! Will come back and bring more friends with me. Service and food is perfect!

I’ve been hearing a lot about Jin Joo Korean Grill and I’ve been hankering to try it out. When I saw a Metrodeal offer that would allow me to enjoy its Samgyeopsal Grill with unlimited side dishes, normally priced at Php470, at the discounted price of only Php149, I just grabbed it and scheduled my Korean food adventure.
