"Top Chef Canada finalist Jinhee Lee has always been celebrated as one of Calgary’s most talented chefs, so the buzz was strong when she opened her very own eatery in 2020. Jinbar centers around Korean pizza, Korean fried chicken, and cocktails, all offered in a cool, eclectic dining room. The Fried Buldak is a fiery cheese pizza with layers of mozzarella, Korean barbecue spices, pickled jalapenos, and green onions. A popular pizza topping in South Korea, corn stars in the Sweet Corns & Honey Butter Chip pie alongside jalapenos, Parmesan, mozzarella, and parsley on a base of alfredo sauce, all surrounded by a crust garnished with house potato chips lightly tossed in honey sauce.

One word; Fabulous! This was one of the best meals I've had in a long time. We were there with seven people for a 40th birthday party and we shared 13 different dishes. Everything was fantastic. My favorites were the Roasted Cauliflower in a curry reduction and the Spring rolls. Every dish was a hit. We also had Deep fried mushrooms, Honey Butter chips, Jinbar Fried chicken, Beef Bulgogi Pizza, Beef Tartar, Flame Roll sushi, Pork dumplings, Brussel Sprouts, Ahi Tuna crudo and Confirm Garlic Parmesan fries. The restaurant was charming and cozy. I've included pictures of all of the food. Throw me a heart or two! ❤️

What an absolute joy hosting our annual Christmas party here. From the moment we arrived, the energy was contagious and the care was unmistakable. Huge kudos to Amane (GM), Hyungjae (Chef), Brooke (our wonderful server), and the rest of the incredible team who made the night unforgettable. The 10 course meal was OUTSTANDING! The staff’s happiness set the tone and you could feel it in every interaction. We laughed, we ate, we drank, and yes… we danced. The music was perfectly curated, the food was exceptional, and the cocktails were truly next-level. Service wasn’t just great, it was thoughtful, warm, and above and beyond in every way. It felt less like a venue and more like a place where memories are made. The kind of night that leaves you smiling long after it ends. We’ll be talking about this one for a long time. Thank you JinBAR team, memories were indeed made!

Ok this place blew my expectations away! First off the food was amazing! The dumplings was out of this world. The fried chicken is easily the best in town. Unfortunately the drink service was a little lacking. Waited 10 minutes for a diet coke. Another 15 minutes for a martini and when the waitress went to refill my diet coke it never came back. That aside, the food was phenomenal 😋. I suggest to order your drinks first as it could be awhile before it comes.

Came here for dinner with a friend and had a wonderful experience. The place has a great vibe and the service was excellent. We ordered a few dishes to share, starting with the Kimbap, it was decent, though a bit underwhelming for me. The Garlic Parmesan Fries, however, were my absolute favorite: perfectly crispy on the outside, soft and pillowy inside, and paired with a delicious sauce. We also tried the Salt and Pepper Mushroom, which was tasty and had a nice tempura-style batter. The highlight was definitely the Honey Garlic Butter Fried Chicken, so flavorful and satisfying. Overall, my friend and I left very happy and would absolutely recommend this spot!

We had brunch today to celebrate Mother's Day. They ushered us in even though it was 15 minutes early before opening. The staff were courteous and friendly and they made us feel very welcomed. The food was delicious. We had the smoked pork belly eggs benny, iceberg salad and the chicken cutlet croffle. We'll ask for some maple syrup next time for the waffles☺️ We were so pleased with our selections. They also served good coffee.

Great vibes and friendly service. The space is welcoming and lovely. The food is really delicious and creative. It is very intensely flavored, with a lot of sweetness/spice/funk and not many subtle flavors to balance out the intensity. Sharing plates with a few people would be a nice way to try a lot of things. The brussels sprouts were a highlight!
