Restaurant Review: Jina Yoo's Asian Bistro

Recently one of my friends had a birthday, his wife planned to surprise him with dinner at his favorite Asian bistro Jina Yoo's surrounded by a handful of family and close friends.

This was my first time here but it came highly recommended by my friends and other locals in the community.

The atmosphere is like any other bistro, dimly lit and candles on each table. The hostess and wait staff where attractive and friendly, they also seemed to know the menu by memory and answered any questions we had.

Since I was the only one in our group who hasn't eaten at this bistro before I asked around the table as to what they recommended. After much debate I settled for the bibimbap which was a dish containing bulgogi, stir fry vegetables, rice, honey sauce, spring mix, mushrooms, and bean sprout salad all for a modest price of $11.

Several others in our party enjoyed sushi as well as other appetizers like crab Rangoon and sushi hand rolls. They also offer a fine selection of hot tea's like green tea, ginseng and more as well as soft drinks and alcoholic drinks.

The prices are a bit high like any fine bistro ranging from $10-$27 for most entrees but you do get a generous portion of food and fine service.

Over all I would give Jina Yoo's Asian Bistro 9 ½ stars on a scale of 1-10 stars. I would recommend it as a romantic place for any dinner date or business luncheon.
