" I can't say enough good things about my experience at Genwa! They have an impressive variety of meats, and the banchan made the meal even more enjoyable. Although the prices are on the high side, it was worth it for the quality and service we received. " (*Curated Review*)

" Dined with a group and we appreciated the service, but the prices felt inflated for what we received. Flavor was there, but portions could be larger considering the cost. I'd recommend Genwa for the experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" Our visit was excellent! We were celebrating a birthday, and the staff made us feel special. The Wagyu beef was heavenly, very tender and flavorful. The various banchan kept our table lively with tastes to explore. It’s pricey, but worth it for a special occasion. " (*Curated Review*)

" I've been to many Korean BBQ spots, but Genwa stands out. The seasonings used for marinating the meat were perfect, and the variety of side dishes was impressive. I felt the meal was worth the high price, especially for special occasions. " (*Curated Review*)

" Great service but the price is pretty steep for the portion sizes. Unlike typical Korean BBQ, you really see a focus on quality here, but it sometimes feels like it comes at the expense of quantity. Still, a good place to visit. " (*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*)
