Had dinner here this past week. Very busy on a weeknight. Clean, modern lighting fixtures and well ventilated buffet restaurant. Fresh raw meat for grilling and delicious cooked food in the hot buffet counter. Service staff are super helpful and friendly. Reasonably priced at Yelp $$ code. Will be back here again, soon.

I have not gorged on food like I did at Jin (or is it Bon?) KBBQ, in a very long time. We arrived at 4:30pm on Saturday and were seated right away. Only one person in our party had been here previously so they ran through the buffet bar options: one with cooked food, and one with raw meats and sides you can grab for the grill at your table. Additionally they have meat options you can order off menu. Off menu I ordered the pineapple galbi and my companions ordered chadogalbi and Korean hot wings. Pineapple galbi was the best bite off menu. The hot wings got okay marks, but my sister put hers on the grill because she said they were a little pink for her. For the raw food bar I loved the spicy pork and spicy chicken and the sausage was VERY good and tender. From the cooked bar I had multiple helpings of the glass noodles, beef bulgogi and kimchi fried rice. Just when I thought I was done I saw the case of ice cream, and grabbed a small sampling of vanilla ice cream to end the meal. By the time we were leaving the restaurant was packed with people. Great value for money for serious meat eaters ($27 all you can eat, or $19 for lunch) just come hungry. Service was great, and I love the light system when you need to get staffs attention. Staff would appear in literal seconds, and they changed our grates multiple times without us even having to ask. Great experience and we will be back.

Finding the place can be a challenge as the sign outside the plaza is Jin Korean with the Korean red and blue logo. l. But on the outside it is called Bon K BBQ with a different logo and my wife had to take a look at Yelp to make sure we got the right place. Inside, they have the Jin Korean BBQ logo so that needs to be updated. Anyways something that needs to be fixed as it might confuse people. Not so sure if they recently changed management. Alright now onto what you came to read on is the food. It is somewhat different than the other Korean BBQ buffet. This one had a good selection on bon chons. I enjoyed the coleslaw and regular salad. I really hope they had the white salad dressing, but ended up being ranch. They have different types of sauces. In the middle is the raw meat and at the other end is the hot food. I definitely loved the peanut fried chicken. Just remember to get it fresh as if it sits too long in the sauce the meat gets really dry and and soggy. They do have really great premium beef. We like the beef tongue the most. With those you will have to hit the light which gets the servers attention. They do come really quick and quite attentive. I enjoyed the dessert drink but you are limited to 2. The beef was really great. One thing good is the floors are not slippery compared to mana. I would say overall, the food was great and would recommend.

Super busy spot, complaint is the wait time and beeper. We got our little beeper device and were told it'd be around 40 minutes. We sat in the car in the parking lot for 30 minutes because it was packed inside. After that time, we went in and got the notification shortly. Then we were told that they rung our device twice already which was strange - they said no worries, just give them 2 minutes. Ten minutes later I check-in since it's been awfully long and they decide to seat us at a table that had been open for a while. I'm pretty sure they literally just forgot, which is annoying. Service was sweet. I love how each table gets a little light that they can flip on to ask for assistance, whether it's to order meat, get a grill change, or other. Quick and easy to do, we really need to step up our game in Washington. Besides that experience, everything was wonderful. My first time at Jin (or Bon) KBBQ was fantastic and showed me that our KBBQ in Seattle can be improved. Price is pretty cheap, but then again I'm comparing to Seattle. Lettuce costs an extra dollar to order, which is interesting. You'd think lettuce is the least of their concerns when there's a ton of meat. Anyway, what's cool about Jin is that there's a list of items you can order and then there's a "buffet" style section with other uncooked meats, sides, and hot foods. Uncooked meats include marinated bulgogi, cuts of pork (including pork belly), and tilapia. Sides include noodles, fried rice, and white rice. Hot foods included some beef stew and gyoza among other things. Pineapple Galbi Steak is a large piece of steak marinated well and topped with a slice of pineapple. I think it was one of my favorite items but I only ordered it at the end because I stuck to the basics. Highly recommend it. LA Galbi is probably a close second, galbi is always good but can be annoying to eat around the bones. Lastly, brisket is a KBBQ must have, so don't skip out on it. These three were the stars of the night. Dessert drink of shikeh (sweet ginger cinnamon punch) is a refreshing way to end the night if you aren't bloated already. Order it if you'd like to wrap up. It's definitely healthy-ish too. There's also ice cream that you can scoop yourself so overall you have options on how to enjoy your last bits of time here.

I give this place like a 6.5/10 I had never been to a KBBQ place and I came to have lunch with my friends. They did like this place more than I did but they are more open to different foods and I'm basic haha. But since I am kind of a picky eater and don't usually like trying stuff I was hesitant at first. I feel like the price is good for all the food and meats you can get. The ribs were really good, I don't eat much Korean food so I stuck with fried rice and that was good too. Also, we had two waiters coming to check on us and they were both nice and content. If you need something you can turn the light on at your table and that was pretty cool to me.

I went there today for the first time and I wasn't sure what to expect. For all you can eat Korean bbq, I usually go to Gen's Korean BBQ in Carrollton but I wanted to give this one a try and see how it compares. Their prices are cheaper with lunch being 18.99 but they didn't have as many different types of meat as Gen's Korean bbq but they have more desserts like ice cream and that sweet Korean Rice drink. Service is really good. The waiter was really sweet and he checked up on me often and made recommendations for me when I told him it was my first time. Couldn't really order any of his recommendations other than the sweet Korean rice drink because I didn't have any more room in my stomach for it. lol. One thing I would caution you: whatever you grab from the buffet table, make sure you eat ALL of it. There is a $20 charge for wasted food.. Other than that, it's been a really good experience. I'll be back! :D

Jin was my first experience with buffet style Korean BBQ and I keep going back. The draw for me is three different serveries. One has salads and banchan. One has raw meats and seafood for the grill. One has cooked dishes including bulgogi, japchae and tteokbokki. There is also a list of items you can request from your server. Service has always been attentive, but I tend to go when it's not as busy. Don't forget to finish your meal with a cup of sikhye.

Finding out this sit-down Korean restaurant while many restaurants were only take-out and even closed on Tuesday, I had a great time with my friend from out of States, Mexico. My friend came to me on a whim on the way back to Mexico from Texas while he would wait 10 hrs for a transfer at the DFW, taking Lyft. We needed sit-down restaurant to catch up latest, and cold outside. However, there's only few Korean restaurants remained open on Tuesday, and fewer restaurants were sit-down. On a pandemic era, few things changed. Even though it's a AYCE, we couldn't pick up our food from buffet tables. Only the staffs gave us the check list that we could choose our meats and side dish for three round. Freshly prepared meats served by staffs with masks; marinated beef short ribs, shaved briskets, pork belly, bulgogi, beef belly. In particular, I really liked the marinated short ribs(LA galbi) and pork belly. We caught up our latest, grilling fresh meat on the table, with friendly staffs, and affordable prices.
