I don't usually post reviews for anything but I thought I absolutely had to write a review for this! My partner and I love korean/japanese bbq and we tried a variety of different buffets in Adelaide and Melbourne but this has become our top pick. Their variety of sushi, quality meats, yukhoe and tataki were favourites all for their premium option at $64 per person. The staff were friendly and the atmosphere was great. Will come again once we visit Sydney for another trip.

Yakitori Jin never gets it wrong! The food is fantastic. The owners and staff are the best. The must try dishes are the Kingfish with Apple Salad. Divine! Eggplant with Miso sauce and Sashimi Tacos - Yum! We have been weekly visitors for the past 4 yrs. We've tried others but nothing compares.
