Gen Korean BBQ House

It wasn't nearly as busy as last time we dined here. We were seated right away and although our server was busy with many tables ahead of us, he managed to bring us everything we had asked; salad, calamari, soybean soup, rice papers, fork, ice waters, beer, thin brisket beef, ribeye steak, and few others. They changed out the grill multiple times from burning, and we had a great dining experience!! Buy the giftcards from Costco before coming out, to save about $30 for 2 people!! Very worth it!!

Let's get to the price rundown as of December '25: AYCE dinner is $30.95 each Bottomless Cokes are $2.98 each Premium meats (like marinated short rib) is a $20 upgrade each person. Things to know: 30-40 minute wait for a table for two on a weekday night at dinner time, and that was a few minutes longer than our initial estimate. Our main server didn't come around too often during the rush, but we flagged down other servers and they were helpful. Two hours to eat everything you can. Don’t skimp on banchan. I wish we'd asked for more sauces and dessert. Get all of the kimchi, mandu, jalapeño, pickles, rice cake, salad, etc. as you can! For the main course we tore through beef bulgogi, spicy pork bulgogi (it’s not spicy at all), garlic chicken, ramyun, and bulgogi fries. Prepared items we tried, ramyun and fries, were on the cold side. I read a lot of reviews here on Google mentioning how the floors felt greasy/slippery and they are all not exaggerating. It’s really noticeable, like you're going out grease-skating so wear appropriate footwear. Long-ish wait, oily floor and some cold fries prevented this from being a perfect experience. Great food tho, come hungry!

I've been here a couple times but today was the best experience I've had at Gen. When coming here previously on a weekday the service was pretty slow but our server Spencer was wonderful. The food was a lot better this time around and portion sizes were generous. $20 per person for the lunch menu gives you great value. I would always recommend starting out with the Honey beef belly

We went to GEN on a Monday night around 8 pm with a group of 5 people. The wait was only around 15 minutes so it wasn’t bad. I have a soy allergy so I asked for a table with 2 grills (since we were a party of 6 anyways) and they sat us at a booth with one grill, but our server said they did have tables with 2 grills available. The menu is pretty simple, and we did opt for the premium menu. They didn’t have 2 of the meats listed on the premium menu so that was a bummer, since it’s $20 extra. The wagyu was exactly the same as beef belly , literally looking and tasting the same, which is disappointing. I would say opt for the $30 menu, because the additional items seem to be most often out of stock. The meat quality was ok overall. This wouldn’t be my top 3 recommendations to anyone, but it is a cheaper eat specially for all you can eat. They were also out of some of the sides as well, and some of the meats ran out while we were ordering. The service was great, so I would say we have no complaints there.

I recently had the pleasure of dining for an excellent price for amazing Korean BBQ, and it exceeded all expectations. From the moment we arrived, the staff provided warm, attentive service, and the ambiance struck the perfect balance between modern comfort and traditional Korean theming. The quality of the BBQ was outstanding — every cut of meat was fresh, expertly marinated, and grilled to perfection right at our table. The variety offered, including premium beef, pork belly, and spicy chicken, was impressive. Each bite was rich in flavor and incredibly satisfying. What truly sets this place apart, however, is the exceptional value. The portion sizes were generous, and the all-you-can-eat option made it even more worthwhile. Given the top-tier quality of ingredients and the overall experience, the pricing felt more than fair — it was a genuine bargain.

Disappointed with Last Night’s Visit – Poor Service for a Big Group My friends and I have been long-time customers of Gen KBBQ for years, and we’ve never had any issues before. Unfortunately, last night’s experience was incredibly disappointing and frustrating. We came in with a group of seven, expecting the usual good service and portions. However, our server seemed inattentive from the start. He never offered us refills on our drinks so we had to keep reminding him, which is something you shouldn’t have to do at a restaurant known for its service. What made things worse was how long it took to get our food. Every set of meat we ordered took about 10-15 minutes to arrive, which completely slowed down the dining experience. And when it did arrive, the portions were laughably small for a table of seven adults. It felt like we had to keep flagging him down just to get enough food for everyone, which completely defeats the purpose of an all-you-can-eat KBBQ. To top it all off, before we were even done eating, the server came to our table and told us our time was up and that we could pay our tab "whenever we pleased" even though we were still hungry and clearly still waiting on food. That felt incredibly rushed and dismissive, especially for a large group that hadn’t even been seated that long. We’ve always enjoyed Gen in the past, but this experience left a bad taste. If management is going to limit dining times or cut back on portion sizes, they need to communicate that upfront not rush guests out mid-meal. This visit was a huge letdown. Not going to lie, we did leave a minimum tip as a result of this.

First time eating at Gen, It was a fantastic experience. I absolutely loved the interactive concept of grilling the meat myself to my perfect doneness. The quality and variety of the meats were excellent. And the dessert was the perfect end: the macaron with gelato in the middle was absolutely divine! Highly recommend for a delicious meal.
