Jin Juu

I didn’t have any really great food in London but there were a few worth mentioning. We tried this place Jin Juu owned by Iron Chef UK Judy Joo in Soho. It was pretty busy even after the lunch time. We ordered the Jin chicken to start – Korean fried chicken. It was freshly fried, mixed with the secret soy sauce. The chicken was pretty juicy, not bad. But £8 for 4 pieces of chicken thighs, pricey.

Next, we had the Bibimbap with seasoned veggies and fried egg (£8). Taste like any normal Bibimbap, nothing out of the ordinary. Finally, we tried the kalbi beef (£20.5), served with white rice, seasonal leaves, & toasted seaweed. The kalbi wasn’t like the ones they usually serve in Korean restaurants – the ones with the bones on it. But the beef was sliced like steak. It was interesting to wrap them in cabbage leaves and rice. The beef wasn’t bad, but I think I prefer the beef short ribs with the bones.

It wasn’t a cheap meal but based on the other restaurants we have tried in London, this is one of the better ones.
