Jin Ju Description:
Korean fare goes modern at this stylish spot with a small sit-down bar up front, dark-wood tables and a large mirror decorating deep crimson walls. Savvy servers fluently explain the exotic offerings on the menu, while the kitchen refines these classics. Haemul pajun, for example, comes with tender seafood piled on top of, rather than embedded in, the scallion pancake. Soon tofu chi gae, a spicy stew, is stocked with tender, little shell-less clams rather than big, chewy ones. Kalbi, marinated and grilled short ribs, arrive cut off the bone and stacked amid lettuce leaves. If you want something fiery, the squid with green chilies and onions in red-pepper sauce, or dak doritang, a chicken and potato casserole, are definitely the way to go. And don't miss the dolsot bibim bap, a potpourri of rice, beef, vegetables and egg sizzling in a stone pot. Sojutinis made with Korean sweet potato liquor are the cocktails of choice, but you also can sip soju straight to savor its smoothness.
