Jinjee 진지 | Korean Catering

Food was delicious. Waiter comes in a timely manner to serve us. They are also timely when you click the call button as well. We had the bibimbaps and sundubu meals. The pollack skin appetizer was also tasty and crispy

I grew up eating traditional Korean food as a Korean-American in Bergen County, and I can honestly say this is one of the best Korean spots around town. My sister and I ordered the gold sets, which came with a variety of dishes and refillable side dishes - more than enough for 3 people even. The food was seasoned to perfection, with a delicate balance of flavors that complemented each other beautifully, never too salty or overpowering. If you're curious about authentic Korean cuisine, this is the perfect place to experience it. It reminded me so much of the meals I grew up eating at home. The meat was incredibly tender, with a melt-in-your-mouth texture and a rich, savory flavor that was perfectly balanced by subtle sweetness and fresh, vibrant ingredients. Even the rice here has a distinct flavor and texture. With its elegant, calming decor, attentive and kind waitstaff, and outstanding food, you're truly missing out if you don't go. They also treated us to jujube tea and dessert at the end, providing the perfect finishing touch to the meal. Truly a one of a kind experience. I will be back for more!

Great new addition to Edgewater restaurants. Good Korean food and different kinds of kimchis and soup and rice provided with the meals as sides. Beautiful calming decor, great food and lovely wait staff made our dinner experience perfect! Will definitely go again with friends.

I had a really great experience here! The food was absolutely delicious — every dish was flavorful and clearly made with care. Honestly, I was satisfied with everything, from the service to the atmosphere. It’s a place that truly deserves more attention, and I hope more people will come and support this wonderful restaurant. Highly recommend! BYOB!!

EDITED : I saw some negative reviews from Threads. While I respect diverse taste buds from diverse people, my experience was quite positive. Nothing was overly salty or spicy which may have disappointed some guests. However, that’s exactly how I love the Korean food to be. And maybe I was very lucky. All ingredients were perfectly fresh and kimchi was perfectly fermented. This probably wasn’t the case for some guests, unfortunately. I will find out about their consistency during my next visit. Also some guests accuse this restaurant for using "plastic" plates/bowl. And yes, they do use them quite a lot and I have used (with my wife) 28 plastic plates and bowls during the dinner. And 3 cast irons and 1 stainless/wooden rice bowls. When dishwashers in NY/NJ normally get paid $20/hr these days, you just cannot expect the restaurant to offer you authentic Korean brass plates/bowls and pay $38/person for this type of meal. Expecting more is just wrong economy. Also, they weren’t just "plastic." They were melamine (also plastic) which is typically better made than regular plastic plates/bowls. All room temperature and cold items were served in melamine and hot items were properly served in stone bowls and cast irons. Properly. I have zero complaint about that. I wish this restaurant does not get hurt by bad and unfair review. It’s a blessing to have the restaurant of this caliber from 2 blocks from my apartment and don’t want to lose it. Really don’t want to see this restaurant spiral downward due to malignant reviews. —————— Original review : Proper. Very proper Korean meals at very unassuming place in Edgewater, NJ. Jinjee offer $38/person traditional dining experience that includes seasonal side dishes, several main entrees coupled with stew and incredibly tasty rice. I think this is the best way to experience Korean cuisine. I don’t think it will ever gain the popularity of KBBQ and I do not think $38/person is sustainable. But I will try to enjoy this gem as much as possible. I highly recommend this Korean restaurant who wants to experience a proper Korean meal in its purest form.

The restaurant is super clean and designed beautifully inside. I have tried both the korean food and the seafood boil here and it was delicious! I would recommend getting the rice cake skewers as an appetizer.

It was a simple meal for two. We ordered the bulgogi hot pot for two, and it was delicious—even the soup was finished. The appetizer was also very tasty. We especially liked the raw beef. Having tried most Korean restaurants in New Jersey, we highly recommend this one.
