OUR JOURNEY
Welcome to Jinjja Comforting Food!
Our journey began in 2013 as a small ramen food cart, serving up Japanese and Korean-inspired noodle bowls. Back then, we were all about bringing warm, satisfying flavors to our community, and we loved every minute of it. As time passed and we grew, so did our passion for Korean cuisine—it grew deeper with every dish we created and every recipe we perfected.
Over the years, we’ve explored, experimented, and evolved, sharing our love for food and culture. Mashita, our previous identity, holds a special place in our hearts. It’s a big part of our story, and we cherish the memories and experiences that shaped who we are today.
Now, it’s time for the next chapter: Jinjja Comforting Food. “Jinjja” means “really” in Korean, and it perfectly captures our mission—to bring you really comforting food, crafted with care and inspired by the rich flavors of Korean cuisine.
We invite you to experience the heart and soul of our cooking, where every bite is a reflection of our passion and dedication. Thank you for being a part of our journey. We are excited to share this new chapter with you!
THE RESTAURANT
Jinjja Comforting Food is thrilled to bring our vibrant flavors and heartfelt dishes to you in an exciting new way! Starting this year, we’ll be operating as a "pop-up" restaurant, giving you a taste of Jinjja in two fantastic locations. Join us every Monday at Harvest Bar + Kitchen in Clintonville and every Tuesday at Station Granville, where we’ll be serving up our signature comforting Korean-inspired cuisine. These pop-ups are more than just a dining experience—they’re a step toward our dream of establishing a permanent location. We’re excited to share this journey with you, one delicious meal at a time, and can’t wait to see you at our weekly pop-ups!
