Jincook in Buena Park, California

“Food: Most in our group ordered the Katsu Curry Rice dishes. You have a choice of 2 meats on top of white rice, surrounded by delicious Curry sauce. All serve on a hot stone plate. The dish was really good, but comes in really hot. Also ordered the classic Bibimbap with their own Gochujang Sauce but kitchen forgot to make it. They were nice enough to give me one to-go free of charge. It was delicious either way.…”

“Great spot for Korean comfort food, especially on a cold day. The short rib soup was rich, clean, and very soothing. The garlic suyuk sous vide pork belly was the standout, super tender and melts in your mouth. You can really taste the care in the preparation. Banchan were solid, portions were generous, and the food felt authentic and comforting rather than trendy. Service was also top notch, friendly and attentive.…”

“Service and food was good! Portions were generous, great for family style sharing. The tofu soup had a lot of tofu and was delicious. We felt like the banchan could’ve been better. The radish and cucumber were too soft. It lacked the crispiness of being recently made. The bulgogi pancake was delicious. We would come back here.”

“Food great. Service great. Ambiance pretty cool. Overall awesomeness. Came here Saturday afternoon around 2pm, which was pretty crowded but wait was reasonable, about 30-40min. We ordered braised beef short rib and spicy tofu soup. Yea, both were worth the wait, especially the tasty delicious rich savory braised beef short rib. Ohh boy mouth is savoring just thinking about it. Will be coming back to try more items.”

“Came in for lunch on Saturday. The restaurant was packed but we came at the perfect time as a table was just finished being set. It took about 22 minutes for our food to come out though and there was a line of people forming outside too. The spicy beef soup wasn't spicy at all but it was flavorful and came with a side of rice. Sweet potato katsu was crispy, tender and didn't feel overpowered by the cheese. Loved how…”

“The best Korean food out there (that isn’t KBBQ or tofu soup)!! Always excellent service, excellent food, and great atmosphere. Very large shareable portions. I always get the seafood pancake and beef hot stone. Braised beef short rib is also delicious. The cold noodles and katsu are decent too. I take everyone who is visiting to this place. Be aware there is no online waitlist so have someone sign in early and wait…”

“We were a little intimidated by the long wait, but the staff were very efficient and any hanger melted away with the first bite! We got the top sellers since it is our first visit. Everything we ordered are dishes we are familiar with, but with much more depth of flavor than anywhere else! The staff were all very kind, especially to our little one, and quick to serve. The charcoal flame torched cheese show was a…”

“Great food! Beef ribs were my favorite. There was no wait time when I arrived but I saw they had complimentary tea while you wait for a table. Side note: their restroom is the cleanest I’ve seen. Definitely coming back here again.”
