Jina Yoo's Asian Bistro

It was busy but we were seated right away. the wait staff were friendly, but seemed to be assigned tables across the restaurant, so they couldn't pay attention well to all their tables. Our Pork Gyosa was good and fresh. The Oi fish was cooked well, but was over pepper and salted. The sushi was tasty, but the rice was to dry. The creme Brule was delicious, but the custard wasn't fully set. The watermelon Sorbet was excellent, fresh and refreshing.

Love this place! The food is excellent, service is five star. The drinks are fun and creative too. Jina Yoo's doesn't disappoint...ever. We had Jina's Balls as an appetizer, the owner brought out a complimentary app of edamame that was excellent! We each had a different roll (4) and they were all good!

Wonderful variety of sushi, maki rolls, noodles, and great service from the hostess to the service at the table. The food is on par if not better than many top sushi restaurants in Chicago where I live, and that is saying a lot! Jina is generally at the restaurant, visits tables regularly and knows many of her customers on a first name basis. A great dining experience with a personal touch only the best restaurants in Columbia offer. Thanks Jina!

Pretty disappointed with the service tonight. Our table was apparently “forgotten about” according to our waitress. Sat down at 6:30 for a table that we had reservations for. We waited at least 30 minutes before even being acknowledged. The table next to us was seated and served in that time frame. Finally got served but the server did not come to our table after. Never have I ever had to go to the bar for drinks in the middle of my dinner, until tonight. Food served 2 hours after sitting down. Finally got the checks after asking twice for them, and automatic gratuity was placed. Terrible experience tonight.
