Yakitori Jinbei

Chef Jae Choi grew up in Chicago in a traditional Korean household. After practicing for a few years as an optometrist, he gave it up to open a test kitchen that was so popular it turned into a real deal restaurant. At Yakitori Jinbei, he takes traditional Korean recipes and adds his own touch, for instance, he adds curry to his Katsu Curry Ramen and his Korean Fried Chicken. Guy loved his unique approach and the restaurant’s dive-feel, “It’s definitely what we look for on DDD.”
