Just as good if not better than other Gens we have tried. Service here was much faster than the Carona Gen but it was a Tuesday... night. Everything was what we expected, cuts of meat and marinades had the same flavors but I will say the Japchae camesteaming and seemed like there was much more veg so that hit the spot. They still were out of my beloved beef tongue which hasbeen across-the-board at most the korean barbecue spots especially the gens. I am happy to report that the marinades markinsisted between the restaurants and the biscuit was cut perfectly just like I like it. I will say that after our 3rd round ofordering brisket and this has been consistent between some of the restaurants that the last round usually isn't brisket my guesswould be a sirloin so just something to be aware of. I guess if you aint cheating then you aint trying but it wasn't a big dealto me I still love coming to this Korean barbecue house. Read more
Great place for large party?s, always good music playing and service is on point. Beer is cold, stove top hot, pick what you... want to eat for the next two hours and enjoy a great atmosphere. Read more
This place is amazing! Four words: Best. Korean. Food. EVER! I ordered the premium steak. No problem! The white rice you might... ask? Perfect! I can?t even explain how delicious the meal was! ???????? Yum. I went to the Mira Mesa location and our fill-inserver was Big Poppa. He was amazing! I don?t know how he?s not the main server! Yum! :) Read more
This is my first time here and it was great. Our server was very attentive and was available when needed. The menu was simple... and had a variety for everyone palettes. So everyone in the party was able to enjoy everything. The ambiance is chic although Ifeel like we're in a club vs a restaurant. The music is loud and every other minute someone is greeted happy birthday. Read more
Gen is sooooo popular, I heard a lot of good things about this place. But I have to say this place is not my place. I mean, the... meat is kind of fresh, the choices are a lot. And more important, the price is very reasonable. But the marinade for the meat isover sweet, every marinaded meats are too sweet to my taste. Also it?s super loud here, we barely hear each other, we have toalmost shout to talk. And the whole space is very smoky. I mean, maybe I love here when I was 20s, but not now. Read more
Amazing Korean food for a fair price. The atmosphere is lively and musical but it is a great place to meet up with friends for a... good meal (just make sure to come hungry). They have a wide variety of selections for both meat and branch?s and the seating wasquite comfortable. Read more
