Where To Eat In Andersonville

"For a dinner that feels upscale but doesn’t require closet spelunking for fancy clothes, we go to Jin Ju. This Korean restaurant has been in the neighborhood since 2001, filling its sleek dining space with the aroma of gochujang-barbecued pork ribs, mandoo stuffed with beef and vegetables, and piping hot bowls of kimchi chi gae. And that hearty stew of spicy fermented cabbage, pork, and soft tofu is the best way to thaw out any chin icicles that form during a freezing 20-minute wait for the Clark bus. Though you can eat here with small groups or solo at the bar, the candlelit interior also makes Jin Ju an ideal date night spot." - sam faye, adrian kane, john ringor
