My husband and I went for a dinner at Jin Seon. This was my second time having their barbeque after 7 years as I moved to Scotland. We went for a visit to Coventry, and the only place I missed is Jin Seon.The quality of the meats are amazing, and they have proper coal and the meats were grilled on charcoal directly instead of a pan.I love the little fan on top of the grill that absorb all the smell and smokes from the grill!Husband ordered the korean fried chicken, and he said the portion and taste are incredible! He loves it!Not only the food is amazing, but they properly thought of all the other aspects of cooking and its authenticities (bowls, cooking utensils, cutleries, etc..are from South Korea)We then ordered a desert - croffle biscoff! Oh my God…that was one of the best dessert I have had !!!!!!!!Will defo come back!!!!!!

Absolutely delicious! The Korean BBQ was flavoured to perfection . You cook on authentic hot coals ?? (which isn't the case at most Korean restaurants). Lots of great choices on the menu, we will be coming back! ??

The attendants are wonderful, friendly and attentive. The barbecue on the table is very tasty and well served. I highly recommend it.

The food was ok, as a regular costumer, I can say one year ago was better than this. Also and more importantly, the service was very bad from my last two times experience.First there were no seasonings on our table, the waiters did not even notice and I requested it the first time.Then we waited for 10 minutes for the heat with the BBQ meat already served. After that we waited for more than 5 mins because we didn’t have scissors and tools to make the bbq. Yes, I requested the scissors again because the staff didn’t even notice we were sitting there just waiting, only for scissors and tools.Also, I feel very offended that our table got differently treated. Waiters came here and ask two tables around us if they were satisfied with the food, but not us. They did not even ask if we need anything else. In the end when we requested to takeaway the rest, they gave us the tray without the take away bag, so how do you think the costumer can take out the tray with meat inside???? So I requested the third time.The meal was more than £70, and of course we paid £7 for the service charge, but I DO FEEL WE PAID FOR NOTHING. Very disappointing experience.

Me and my friends have frequented Jinseon for over 2 years now, and each visit is as marvellous as the last. Their service is wonderful and the food is cracking. I cannot recommend it enough.

Weren't seated when we arrived when there were plently of spaces - we weren't told why. We also were not seated with any menus - we weren't sure if the waiting staff would give us some. A waitress left some plates and cutlery on our table - she didn't notice.After about 10 minutes, I had to ask for the menus, and then a further 15 minutes later I had to go up and ask to order; the waitress who took our order didn't seem to care in the slightest. People who were seated and ordered after us received their food before we had even ordered ourselves.Drinks were brought promptly and were correct (bar was on the floor at this point).My partner received his food in good time, mine about 15 minutes later when he had finished and the waiter just dumped it in the empty space next to us and ran off.Although there are signs as you walk in, and by the kitchen to wait at the door, delivery drivers just barge in when no-one is on the door, and just stand at the kitchen shoving their phones in the poor chef's faces.This also meant, as we were sat on the left as you come in, we had loads of people linger around our table waiting. It was not a pleasant experience.Will not be returning. Nice food, but small portions and abysmal customer service.

The food was ok, but the service was too bad. We were two people, ordering 2 BBQ dishes, and black bean noodles. The waiters and waitresses were very friendly, but the hostess couldn't be ruder. They required min 2 orders of meat dishes for BBQ and the waiter seemed not to know that, or either did we. The hostess then told us to order one more portion, which to me, was understandable, but she rushed me to order immediately, while I was telling her that I wanted to discuss what to order more with my friend who was in the restroom at the time, so I'd make order more once they came back. She seemed not to listen to me at all and couldn't wait for 3min while she could have told the kitchen to hold our table's order. This was disappointing. The kitchen served the meat just under 5min after we finalized the additional order, so it proved to me the issue was their unprofessional service quality. Anyway, recommended for those having Korean BBQ craving, worth a try. I'm not sure if I will come back.

Great Korean bbq experience, but price but worth it.

You cannot go wrong here. The food is fantastic and the atmosphere is excellent. Have not had anything other than the meat plater because it is too
The food here was absolutely delicious and arrived super quick. For once we got regular food and not BBQ and it was really tasty.

The food was nice. Service was ok. We were sat in the back conservatory with a white piece of wood attached to the table as a partition. It was very annoying and atmosphere was very dull. I didn't enjoy my time there at all. The red date honey tea was heavenly tho.

You won’t feel guilty after this one. Food that fills you up and freshens you up!

It is honestly such a lovely restaurant to go to when you want to indulge and just have a chilled afternoon/ evening out. I had the Beef Bulgogi, BBQ Pork Shoulder and the Korean Honey Butter Fried Chicken which were super flavourful and really tasty! I had the garlic belly which I unfortunately found lacked flavour.. that’s not to say I wanted it to be infused with garlic because I’m not really a garlic fan but I could taste any seasoning and had to use the sauces they provided and the sauce from the fried chicken to make it taste nice. However, because the other items were amazing, it wasn’t too bad.I also had the Strawberry Cocktail as a pitcher and they reaaalllyyy need to share that recipe because it is *chefs kiss*!! That one right there is a creeper because it honestly just tastes like juice aha!And lastly the service was amazing.. it was swift and the food came quick and timely fashion. They are doing a spectacular job, I hope they keep it up because I’ll definitely be going again!
