We started with the Angry Tuna sushi roll, which was incredibly fresh. For our main course, we shared the starter grill meal for two, featuring galbi, teriyaki chicken, bulgogi beef, and bulgogi chicken. It was a delicious and intimate dining experience, well worth repeating. Our servers, Chelsea and Brian, were fast, thorough, and friendly. We’ll definitely be back!

Relaxed ambience, friendly service, delicious, nicely presented sushi and Korean dishes, reasonable prices. We are happy to have this gem close by. As it is not in a ‘happening’ part of town, it is quiet and easy to get a table here even on the weekends. I’m ambivalent about giving the restaurant such a rave, as I don’t want it to get too crowded! But I do want it to do well. So if you like this type of cuisine, worth checking out.

Delicious Kimchi fried rice, bibimbap, and raspberry wine. A hidden gem and one of my favorite places.

Jinju is awesome! Great kbbq options and experience. The pork belly wrapped scallops were so good. Lots of non kbbq options if that's not your thing like rice dishes and stone pots. Good sushi as well. A lot of soju flavors. Staff was friendly and helpful. Will be back.

We love Jinju! It does have some highs and lows and changes on the menu , but it is always better than the others. The ingredients are always fresh. We have been there since day one and have taken many friends and relatives. Including Korea traveled people, and they love it. To make it even better, it is away from the downtown tourist's traps with plenty of free parking. 100% recommended

Great place to go for a date night or night out with the family. The food and service were amazing!! The hand painted mural on the wall is beautiful. You don’t have to do the hot pot cooking (think of the melting pot) but that option is there. My wife on I spent about 100 there but we got an appetizer, dinner, sushi, and drinks. There is plenty of parking here as well. Really great sake options too. Give this place a try and live them a good review too.

This restaurant is a hidden gem in St Pete with absolutely delicious Korean food. The service is excellent! Ask for Chelsea. Also, try the Bibimbap... it’s so good! Veterans, this a must stop.
