Jin Mee Korean BBQ Restaurant

Best Korean food ever… specially the seafood tofu soup… for sure will come back again here.

Wow — the food is really good. This is one of the only places in town that cooks on the table in front of you.
The service is also AUTHENTIC KOREAN — i.e. few trips to your table, but hurried when they do attend to you. To summarize: different than most American’s expectation of restaurant service. Part of why I like it.
Great place for a group get-​together over a long meal.
If you are nostalgic for Korea — this place will be exactly what you are looking for.

Best Korean food ever! Be prepared to stuff yourself silly. Everything, including the fresh cut oranges, are out of this world yummy!!! I’m in total bliss!

Do not go to this stupid restaurant, the staff is foolish, especially the woman in the front desk is most stupid! We had waited there for 30 minutes and pressed the call button for 4 times! She just stood there and looked the light ! However we kept the patience to continued waiting, then that woman moved to some guests who were later than us and took their order, at that time my friend asked her if she could take our order. What she did was went back to the counter, without even one answer!!! Which made us really angry and we left immediately ! I swear I won’t go to any Korean restaurants any more, if I could rate –10 000 000 stars, I would do it without any hesitations!!!

Worst service ever. We have been waiting too long. We took the menu from the front desk by ourselves and then waited for a waitress to take order. But they Ignore customers. No politeness or respect at all. Won’t come again.

After several days of Las Vegas-​style overwhelm-​ment, Jin Mee was just what my family needed. The waitress spent pretty much our whole meal cooking for us (we had AYCE) and refilling sides, and we had a lovely family-​style meal. Loved the Kim Chee, Bulgogi, soy soup, frothed egg (?), shrimp, sliced ribs, etc. etc. Quite an unassuming storefront, but a warm welcome within.

I had the pleasure of enjoying this wonderful meal with my sister, who is a regular here, and they treat her like royalty! The Galbi was amazing! Very delicious, cooked for us by the extremely friendly wait staff. The complimentary salad and banchan was extremely tasty. We had Galbi and Bulgogi and both were above average. I can’t believe this place only has 3.5 stars, definitely underrated! I heard there was a fire there and they were closed for a period of time, but they’re back up and running and the food was delicious.

Always love it here! We are treated like family every time !! The ladies act like they saw us the day before and adore our kids. We love to bring our family, friends and especially out of town guests here! Not close to our house, but worth the drive!

First and foremost their bbq meats and unlimited side salad (sesame oil and a little spice to it) are very tasty!
It is an all-​you-​can-​eat BBQ, but the second time around, I opted out of it since it was too much food the last time we were there. I love their side dishes, except that the cucumber salad was a little too sweet (usually I prefer it to be more on the tardy side) and the kimchi was too fermented. However, those shortcomings does not overrule the fact that the bimbimbap was so on point! If you’re just going for ambiance and décor, this place is not for you. But if you are a Korean food lover like myself, do yourself a favor and indulge!

We were there for Mother’s Day and it was not busy at all. We orders 4 dishes for three people. We had a pleasant experience and the food was good, but nothing to jump up and down about. We had complimentary fruit at the end of our meal as well.

This place was a surprise. Friendly service. And the food was really good. Perfect for family and big groups.

A little out of the way off the strip in Las Vegas but they have the best Korean BBQ in Vegas in my opinion. It is a must stop for me when I go to Vegas. It is in the Commercial center which is about a $ 10-​$ 15 taxi ride. But well worth the trip if you are into Korean BBQ. The place is clean and the meat is fresh. I recently tried there non-​Korean BBQ items and it was amazing. They have Korean JiaJang Myun which is Korean Noodles in black bean sauce. It was amazing. I highly recommend this place. If you are in Vegas, check it out.

Be careful! The staff is very tricky! Because we have been there many times. And we like it, But today they gave us only one menu even they have lunch menu. So we asked «Do you have Lunch menu, don’t you?!» to ladies staff but she said «No.». But we’ve been there before and we are sure they have lunch menu. And we looked around and guest who is Korean they have Lunch menu. So we asked same ladies staff «Please give us the lunch menu, And when we asked you you said no we don’t have lunch menu, right ?!» And she became Distorted face and upset. She said «Sorry“but her face was sulky.
Anyway, this restaurant that has underestimated the customer.

Horrible horrible place, first things first, we came here at 12:30 typical lunch time, we ordered the gal bi soup, took 45 mins to come out ! What the hell ! They said it was because they ran out of broth, wtf? Ok whatever. Finally comes out soup is all salty and the rice was moosh ! We did not wait almost an hour for this.

This sprawling Korean is the epitome of Las Vegas Korean food scene — mediocre food and service that define what Korean is all about in Sin City. Why is it that a major city just 4 hours drive away from the best Korean food outside of Korea can’t get it straight? Especially when it has to compete against so many other outstanding Asian cuisines? As I’ve said before, Thai and Japanese in Vegas are tops. Vietnamese and Chinese can’t compete with L.A. but still offer vast array of choices and flavors. Why aren’t Korean vendors making their way out of L.A. into Vegas and setting up shop to rival Ham Ji Park, Gobawoo, and Baek Jeong?
We decide to head over to Commercial Center while looking at Turnberry Place and, Jin Mee being the biggest place here, decide we’ll stop there for some naengmyun. Walking in the server sits us right away, and throughout the meal the service was quick although not what I would call scintillating. Just a bit off when it came to enthusiasm, pleasant responses, etc. but still passable. Décor is typical Korean, spartan and not interesting but clean.
We order a raw fish naengmyun and a jjamjjamyun, which is half jjajangmyun and jjamppong. They come in less than 10 minutes, so timing is good. My first bite of the naengmyun and… it’s sort of cool. Far from ice cold which is what it’s supposed to be. Taste is good, but not the effect I want. The Chinese noodles also taste good, but they also have some shortcomings. The jjajangmyun sauce is overly jelly-​ish and there are chunks of gelatin throughout, which indicates the sauce has not been mixed very well. I’m wondering if these are pre-​packaged stuff. There are places where the food tastes good and you finish it even if you’re full. There are others where it tastes good initially, but then wears on you as you make your way through the plate. This was one of those.
In the end, the food that gets tired, uninteresting décor, and off-​and-​on service all amount to a 2.5 stars. Lukewarm naengmyun gets half a point docked because that is inexcusable.
Table-​for-​1 Factor: Will probably be fine when they’re not busy.

Service and friendliness are severely lacking. The owner guy was sucking up to the regulars but was indifferent and cold to tourists like us. The waitress started walking away before we even finished ordering. We never got served water or anything else for that matter. I got up to get my own napkins. When we were leaving we got no greeting but 2 secs after we got up she made a bee line to the check to see how much tip we left. It reflected her service.
I got the kalbi/​nang nyum combo. The food was good but the kalbi had too much fat attached. I mentioned this to the waitress and she sarcastically answered, «because it’s meat.» No one is disputing that. I meant why are you selling me so much. The agu jjim wasn’t fresh either. It didn’t smell or taste fresh.
The place is huge and can easily hold 100 people. They have grills at most of the tables and they keep it reasonably maintained.
I wouldn’t recommend this place.

Lunch specials till 3pm.
Arrived about 3.10pm, only one table occupied so wandered in and sat at a booth. There was one lady serving, so took a while before she took our orders.
Ordered beef bulgolgi, fried octopus with vegetables (spicy) and a spring onion pancake.
Bulgolgi serving was large and tasty, beef was tender and well cooked on a hot plate brought to the table.
Fried octopus with vegetables was great, loaded with lots of octopus and vegetables. The dish is spicy, and was good with white rice.
Fried green onion pancake was surprisingly good. Pieces of octopus, crab cake, prawn and spring onions. Crispy when arrived at our table.
Three dishes and all the side dishes were too much for 2, so we doggy bagged the remainder.
One dish would have been just nice for 2 to share.
Overall expensive for this kind of food, but considering the serving size, it’s fair.
The bill came, and I almost choked on my iced tea. Look at my attached picture! What do you think?

After two visits in the last six months, I remain totally unaware of their a la carte offerings. It’s like a small bolt of electricity triggers my brain to point at the picture of the AYCE deal (now $ 25) and tell the server in what feels like slow motion to say «I’ll…have…this.». This incurable auto reaction would even prompt me to order AYCE KBBQ if I saw it on Denny’s menu.
With quite a few popular restaurants in this plaza now, Jin Mee feels like a forgotten place. The space is big and looks like it could easily fit a crowd of 100+. I wonder if those banquet tables to the rear of the restaurant ever get used anymore.
It doesn’t take a lot for me to enjoy spots like this. As long as there’s pork belly, bulgogi, the other usual offerings and they are of reasonable freshness, I am a happy man. But there are a few things that make this place a standout. My wife loooooves the spicy marinated raw crab. I am not sure if anywhere else offers this but it’s pretty awesome. You gotta get all barbaric with it and just break the shells in your mouth to get those glorious slithers of spicy crab.
Then they bring out a ton of other dishes before the meat comes out. You get a large plate of salad, a bowl of steamed egg, a hearty tofu soup with beans and potato, and then 8 dishes of banchan. A very impressive Korean feast indeed! I look at it all as a clever trap. If customers stuff their faces with this, they’ll eat less meat. Everything I mentioned above probably costs them less than $ 4 in ingredients. All tasty and worth sampling for sure, but keep your eyes on the prize! Kind of like the salad bar at Texas de Brazil. Trap!!!
The owner, Chu, was there during my last visit. He said he was a good golfer and gave me his card saying we should golf sometime. I hit my friend with a golf ball in the leg after a ridiculous slice 30 feet away the last time I golfed and dutifully informed Chu of this. He decided to quickly change the subject by offering some grilled shrimp on the house. That’s only on the more expensive AYCE package that includes choices of several kinds of seafood and ribeye. The shrimp were delicious and unusually sweet. Nice guy.
The table grills were decently ventilated meaning I wasn’t wearing full on BBQ cologne afterwards. I am a fan!

My parents and I came here for lunch out of convenience since it was within steps from the Korean market and another Korean restaurant nearby was temporarily closed. It all worked out because they weren’t very busy and we were really hungry and happy to sit immediately.
I was pleased to see that Jin Mee had Jajangmyeon (Chinese noodles with black bean sauce) and Soondubu Jjigae (spicy soft tofu soup), two of my favorite Korean dishes that are normally not offered at the same restaurant. My dad ordered his favorite, Jampong (Chinese noodles in spicy seafood soup), my mom ordered a lunch special containing soft tofu soup and Spicy Pork (another favorite), and I ordered Jajangmyeon.
All the dishes were fine, but nothing was amazing. The most palpable was probably the spicy pork (I find that this is the hardest dish to screw up). The Panchan (side dishes) were also unmemorable. The good: cheap prices. My mom says that they used to have much better quality, but I guess that’s all moot that now the restaurant is undergoing an ownership change.

I really don’t have any complaints about the food here. I got the spicy seafood and Vicky K. got the jja jjang myun. Both were good and I had the lunch special so the bill wasn’t bad at all! It was HOT up in here though. Could have used some AC!
Second time here. In the Summer there was no AC. In the Winter, there is no HEAT. Haha.
2.9.14: Service is MEH. She seemed super rushed and rather rude. There were only two other tables in the joint.
Portions weren’t all that for the price. All in all though Babe said the jjajamyeong was TASTEY even though the onions weren’t served with the dish… Koreans and onions! Duh!
