Open Tuesday through Sunday evenings, Jin Ju draws a lively weekend crowd. It's a rare Korean restaurant that feels more date-night than dive. If you want another top-tier meal nearby, Girl & The Goat is a short drive away.

From the community

“Hip Korean in Andersonville”

Most Korean restaurants are casual dives where you smell like barbecue and get rushed through your meal. Jin Ju is stylish, relaxed, and consistently delicious. Whether it's sojutinis or bibimbap, everything on the menu is good. I always order the bulgogi and am never disappointed.
