Jinja Bar & Bistro - Santa Fe

We stopped by in the afternoon for a little 'pick me up,' and we were surprised that several others were in the restaurant with the same idea. Guess we were the last to know about this great place.The entire place is beautifully decorated and gives off a welcoming and comfy vibe. We split the chocolate silk cake and each had a coffee. Mine was their Vietnamese coffee, perfectly sweet and yummy. She asked if the iced and boozy coffee on the menu could be served hot...it could! The chocolate silk cake is decadent! If a brownie and fudge had a baby, it would be this cake. The ice cream that accompanied it was the perfect pairing to cut the richness of the cake.For anyone wanting a cozy bar with an interesting and fun drink menu, come here to celebrate your favorite occasion with friends and family.Our waiter was very helpful with our questions. We even met Mimi, one of the managers, that stopped by to talk with us. We will be back to explore the food menu and more from the extensive drink menu. So glad we found this hidden gem.

Service was was good, I came in for late lunch on a Saturday (1.30p). Environment is nice. I had some wine.... Fair price for a glass. My wine glass was dirty, had dried food on it, thankfully on the outside. Coffee was good. Food- I got the Jinja bowl... shrimp was very good and NOT overcooked! Not enough bell peppers, and the brussel sprouts tastes like frozen that were steamed. Over cooked with no flavor or texture... really cheapened the meal. If gonna steam, make sure fresh; if frozen- season and grill

really really like this place. Chicken lettuce, wraps and potstickers for lunch today. Our server was very very nice. And they make a mean old-fashioned. and for those require sweetener for your non-alcoholic drinks, they have every one covered.

A good Asian place in Santa Fe. We have been struggling to find good Asian food and so am thankful to have Jinja. However, everything is too expensive in my opinion. Delicious but not somewhere we'll come often because of the price point. We got Mongolian beef, sweet and sour chicken, and a noddle dish. Shared between 3 people we all ate our fill and were happy to try multiple things on the menu. Good for a nice date or a larger party.

Fabulous manager Harlem makes sure the food is tasty and the service is great Try the Pot stickers and the ribs

Perfect lunch with delicious generous portions and excellent draft beer and drink selection. Very happy dining experience in an appealing and friendly setting. Highly recommend their signature lettuce wrap as an appetizer or as a main item. The regular size is quite ample for one person. Their gelato was excellent. Obviously a very popular destination for locals.

Jinja is a great spot to get Asian fusion in Santa Fe. They have a plethora of options to choose from, and almost everything is perfect. We ordered skewers and a bunch of other appetizers, fried rice and pad Thai. We left everything, but the pad Thai was a little too vinegary and watery, so I would not recommend that until they adjust the recipe.The service is superb, for the staff is very attentive and concerned with customers satisfaction.The ambience is cozy and dark, perfect for a romantic dinner for two. My favorite spot to sit is in the cozy booths by the bar. I can't wait to go back and try everything else on the menu!

This restaurant used to be great. Since the pandemic it has gone down in quality and serving portions. This is something that only someone who ate there frequently. Since Covid the portions have been reduced drastically. Their Kung Pao dishes is no longer traditional recipe because it doesn't include peanuts and red chili peppers.

This was my first time and I just did take out. They were quite slow they said because of the Mooshu dish which I get if they made fresh pancakes but they are not. Still good food and the potstickers were fairly good. I felt it was pricey in comparison to other places like that but the food was good and the quality was better than some crappy Chinese placesI would definitely go back but I hope they are a bit faster next time. 20 minutes does not equal 45.

The service and meal were outstanding. Always a great time and Doug the owner always make you feel at home.
