It was a very nice atmosphere food was great. Was really disappointed how the owner walked around and checked on customers that were there but never came to our table. In fact she walked pass our table and snatched the straw paper off the table and never said hello or anything. As I said before was really disappointed because I’ve heard nothing but good things about the owner.

I was with a party of five . The restaurant was packed.They've been busy and were out of few different drinks and menu items .Service was a little slow, but the ambience and conversation made up for it. We all ordered different apps, sushi and rolls. Lots of sharing . All the food was great. Enjoyable evening . Made reservations for a birthday dinner in a few weeks.

Tried some of the sushi options, fried rice, and pad thai. Typical American style sushi but the Mr Miyagi roll was actually pretty good. Fried rice was also good, didn't taste too salty or oily. Pad thai was alright but might've been better if ordered spicier. Service was alright for a busy Saturday night. The restaurant had mood lighting for the evening too.

Best sushi I've ever had. Specialty rolls have layers of flavor. Madre de Dragon, Sin City, and Sun West are my recommendations. Staff is professional and friendly

Food took over an hour to arrive without any update from staff unless we follow up. Food taste and quality is overrated for the price. I tasted canned pineapples.

Great Asian fusion food! Too many inspiring and creative delicious dishes to list here. A 'must visit' restaurant well worth the trip! I highly recommend it!

My girlfriend and I had some amazing sushi and some of Jina's favorites and were very happy with everything. The staff is very courteous and the pricing was good for the quality of food you get.

Typical upscale restaurant tucked away in a quiet part of the city, with a nice relaxing atmosphere and dim lighting. The food was of high quality, as expected for the price point. As an appetizer, the Five Spiced Calamari was well portioned and seasoned. It was crispy, and served with a soy ginger sauce that had a nice little kick. The Seafood Dynamite, a Jina Speciality, had a unique creamy sauce with a lobster-esque flavor. Meanwhile, the Red Eye Roll had fresh, tasty tuna and eel with a nice crunch on the outside. The dishes were smaller than expected, but it was satisfying. Servers were friendly

Wow! I mean wow!!! Crazy cool menu, great service even during this Coronia19 thing. I think I found a new favorite Chinese/Sushi joint. Love it!!!
Seriously this place is a crown jewel of COMO. If you want fresh, high quality inventive food that you can’t get anywhere else then stop what you are doing and get your can down to @JinnaYoos . They have the best quality calamari I have ever had. The flavors, the artistic integrity the fun you can have and still keep your pants on is incredible!!!

This place is amazing! We have been here twice and both times we left satisfied. The service is good but their food is even better. If you enjoy flavor and quality ingredients, this place is a must try.
Sushi, soups, main entrees.....all delicious.

My girlfriend and I have been here twice. We just happened to stumble upon it while driving down Forum. Both visits have been phenomenal. Great service and everything we have tried on the menu is absolutely delicious. Strongly recommend if you want something great and different.

Got carry out. There was a wait due to there being some confusion about our order. The staff took care of it.
I'm not going to be overly critical over the incident.
If I encounter this again in the future I will adjust my rating.
We got 4 different sushi rolls. All were good ,but one stood out. The "Lemon Drop" Sushi Roll. Will go back again.

What a great choice we made after visiting the Christmas lights and Clydesdales at Warm Springs Ranch. We loved everything from the appetizer (strongly recommend the zucchini fritters!), to each of our entrees (Ali Baba and Sumo noodles with chicken), to the dessert (the banana bread pudding was amazing and thanks to our most helpful and pleasant server, Jess, it came with vanilla ice cream...it is the bomb.com!) Already decided to come back because Jess's favorite dessert is the key lime creme brulee and we just didn't have any room for one more indulgence. Jess was fantastic but

Been looking forward to trying this place since I moved here. Went to grab dinner earlier tonight. Stood at the host station at the front for 5-10 mins and nobody came to seat me. The person at the bar and a server saw me then just went back to whatever they were doing. Wasn't busy, I don't get it.

This place had a ton of hype from my friends so I decided to try it. When I found out they had Pad Thai I was super excited. However, this is definitely THE WORST Pad Thai I've ever had. It was really spicy and had these weird crunchy super spicy bits in it--almost like sea salt but spicy. If I go back I will get only sushi since it seems to have great ratings. Really disappointed.

Five stars to Jina Yoo's! Always excellent service and food....! We usually order one of the exotic cocktails but tonight we kept it simple and enjoyed a white wine and an IPA. We had just come from a matinee where we ingested too much salty popcorn so my daughter and I split a shrimp sushi roll. I believe it was Tiger in the jungle this time. As always.....divine....and served by a friendly waiter!

Nice place, Jina is a hoot. Sushi was good. We were there for work party, so it was mid week and quite.
I don't remember any background music, which I like to set mood. The place needs something, but I can't put my finger on what's missing. This was my first visit to columbia, and to this restaurant. I will come back, the food was good.

Wow...glad I ordered chicken in my tasteless pad Thai. I just wish I would have had more than .05 ounces of chicken. No egg in the Pad Thai, but at least there were green peppers. Check out our dried out sushi. I don't think the edges were supposed to be brown.

I really enjoy eating at Jina Yoo’s.
The service was a little slow last time I ate there but typically they are “on the ball!”
The food tastes good and the variety of options on the menu is slightly more than other similar type restaurants found in Columbia, MO.
... All in all, if my friends asked me if they should try Jina Yoo’s I would certainly encourage them to give it a go! 🙂

I love spicy food, and got the BAPT (bad a$$ Pad Thai) with a spice level of 7/10. Pad Thai is one of my tester meals when I go to new Asian restaurant because who really likes trying something new at a new restaurant and the sucky restaurant ruining your idea of that dish forever? Not me.
In my opinion, levels 1-7 at restaurants usually only have a little teeny kick and its disappointing. Jina Yoo's level 7 was giving me all the flavor and spicy punch I could've ever desired! You could tell how fresh the vegetables in the

They have great sushi and dishes here. It's hard to find good sushi in Columbia, and this place is one of the VERY few who do it right. I love their Rice Ball appetizer and their hummus appetizer, there's not much you can go wrong with for those as your appetizers. Family friendly, baby friendly, and date night casual.

This is my fav sushi place in town.
We had the cherry bomb roll substitution of the tempura shrimp for regular shrimp. It was delicious,the flavours are so well combined.
We also had the Madre de dragon roll, it was the right amount of spice. Jina came to say hello while we were eating and gave us suggestions.
I had a drink with cucumber and sake, it was perfect and refreshing.

This is the best sushi ever! Jina is a riot, she is dedicated to her patrons and her staff is great.

The Sin City roll is my new favorite roll. It seemed like we had one of every roll, and they were all wonderful. The fired rice was so fresh and delicious!

Highly recommend an evening with Jina!
