" Even though it was a bit high on the price scale, Genwa did not disappoint. The service was impeccable and the meat portions were good. The smoked brisket stood out! Definitely a place to visit again. " (*Curated Review*)

" We celebrated a special occasion at Genwa, and it was truly unforgettable. The staff treated us like VIPs, and the meat quality was exceptional. The portions were a bit small, but I’d come back here for the entire experience for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" My friends and I really enjoyed our meal. The server was attentive and friendly. We ended up ordering too much food; however, the portion sizes were smaller than expected. We still had a great time, and the flavors were on point. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a satisfying experience at Genwa. The meat options were fresh and flavorful while the sides complemented the meal perfectly. I particularly enjoyed the seafood pancake. Although the prices are a bit higher, they are justified by the quality and service. Parking can be a challenge, though. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Genwa last week; their setup is pristine! I enjoyed grilled lamb chops along with great fermented sides. The service was better than many other places I’ve experienced. The only downside was the pricing, but I suppose you get what you pay for! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently visited Genwa and was amazed by the service. The staff were highly attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. I had the bulgogi and it was definitely one of the best I've tried. The banchan were abundant and consistently delicious, a great complement to our meal. " (*Curated Review*)

" I appreciated the vegetarian options available at Genwa. It’s not often you find a Korean BBQ place that caters well to non-meat eaters. My tofu dolsot bibimbap was flavorful, and the sides were varied and delicious. " (*Curated Review*)
