" My experience at Yakiniku Gen was mostly positive! The atmosphere exuded a warm and inviting vibe. The grilling experience was fun and very delicious. However, I found that some of the sides were underwhelming compared to the luscious meats. I do think that for a truly authentic Japanese BBQ experience, they could improve their side dish offerings and decrease wait times. All in all, I’d consider going back. " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently visited Yakiniku Gen for a casual dinner and was really impressed with the quality of the meat! The A5 Wagyu was nothing short of spectacular, perfectly marbled and tender. The staff was also very polite and attentive, helping us navigate through the menu with great recommendations. We also tried the bibimbap, which was flavorful and a nice complement to the grilled meats. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting. Overall, I would highly recommend this place for anyone looking to enjoy authentic Japanese BBQ. " (*Curated Review*)

" We had a delightful meal here last weekend. The ambiance was pleasant, and the tables were set for an enjoyable grilling experience. The variety of meats on the menu is worth noting; each cut was fresh and expertly prepared. While the prices reflect the quality of the food, we did find the overall meal could have been larger for what we spent. Service was attentive, and we felt well taken care of throughout our visit. Looking forward to coming back soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing about Yakiniku Gen, I finally decided to check it out. It did not let me down! The grilled meats were delicious and fresh, although I expected larger portion sizes based on some reviews. The pleasant environment added to the enjoyable experience, and the service was friendly. I would recommend this place for a fun evening out, just be mindful of the portion sizes. " (*Curated Review*)

Each time we come, we're greeted with a warm welcome from the staff. The quality is consistent, and their premium cuts are always a go-to. Perfect for a fun night of grilling and chatting amongst friends. " (*Curated Review*)

" Yakiniku Gen is decent, but I feel that the prices are a bit high for what you receive. The ambiance was lovely, but the portions were underwhelming, especially for the price point we were at. The service was okay, the staff seemed rushed during dinner hours. I loved the flavors of the marinated meats, but I would recommend ordering differently. If you go, make sure you go with a big group to share a variety of meats, which could help balance the cost. " (*Curated Review*)

" Wow! The meat quality is the highlight of Yakiniku Gen! I was blown away by how fresh everything was, and grilling at the table created an interactive dining experience. The service was friendly, and they made great recommendations. My only issue was the slight smoke from grilling. I'd definitely return for the quality of food and atmosphere. Highly recommended for any meat lover! " (*Curated Review*)
