"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 of the standout Calgary restaurants to open last year is Jin Bar, a Japanese-style fried chicken and pizza joint by chef Jinhee Lee, a graduate of the Southern Alberta Institute of Technology (SAIT) and winner of the Canadian Gold Medal Plates culinary competition."

We had an awesome dining experience. Best tasting restaurant food I had in a long time. Every dish we tried was very flavorful and the flavors where perfectly balanced. Service was very attentive without being too pushy.

My wife and I had a pretty good experience at Jinbar. We came for the highly recommended chicken sando and it did not disappoint. Is it a pricey chicken sandwich? Definitely, but I feel the full experience makes it worth it. Our server was excellent all night and the chef even came to our table to ensure everything was to our liking...it was even neat to see chef Jinhee Lee roaming the floor as well. The only small thing that wasn't great for us was the tempura mushrooms were very gummy and the batter stuck to and in our teeth which was a very odd feeling. Overall, this is a place I cannot wait to get back to and try the fried chicken on its own.

I’m sorry to say but it didn’t live up to the hype for us. We stopped in for an appetizer and a pizza. Seriously huge pass on the crispy chicken chips. I don’t know if there was even any chicken in them or if it was just chicken flavoured batter the pizza was decent. But service was slow and it was overall just okay.

One of my favorite restaurants in Calgary. They accommodated our big party and service and food was excellent. I was quite surprised by the pounded cucumber very tasty and the thai style watermelon was delightful. I wished we would have ordered more crispy chicken chips. Must order is the fried chicken. Cant wait to come back again!

We chose this place for our last date night of 2024. I was very impressed with the vibes, the food and the very kind staff. We will definitely come back to Jinbar again. Because this place has become our favourite restaurant.

Friendly service. Good food at a reasonable price. The seeds in the brussel sprouts were a bit stale, but it didn’t take day to much from the dish. The fried chicken with Korean chili sauce was tasty.

Wow wow wow! Such a hidden place with amazing food, everything we tried on the menu was 10/10. Buldak fried chicken is a must if you can handle spice!

Top chef jinhee created a great place with all of her fave comfort foods but also showcases her culinary talents in other dishes. Beautiful and comfortable space and a location that really isn't that difficult to get to. It should be high on your list of dining destinations. While there is some Korean influences, it's not really a Korean restaurant. But every bite is excellent.
