" What an experience! I brought my family to Gen Korean BBQ for a celebration. The moment we walked in, the smell of grilling meat was enough to excite our taste buds. Each table has its own grill, so you can cook at your own pace. The staff were friendly and checked on us regularly, although we did experience a wait for a few items. Overall, the food was high quality and very tasty. The big portion sizes were a bonus. I’d highly recommend it for anyone looking to enjoy a night out with great food. " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't say that I was completely satisfied with my visit to Gen Korean BBQ. While the food itself was decent, I found it a bit lacking in flavor compared to other Korean BBQ spots I've tried. The service was also a hassle as we seemed to wait forever for our orders. The atmosphere was nice, but overall it just didn't meet my expectations. I would recommend exploring other options. " (*Curated Review*)

" We had such a fun time at Gen Korean BBQ! The atmosphere is perfect for gatherings. The quality of the food is top-notch; we especially loved the short ribs and the variety of side dishes offered. Service-wise, it was a bit hit or miss. We had a couple of wait times between meals but our server was friendly. Overall, we left very happy and satisfied with our meal! " (*Curated Review*)

" This spot is a great choice for anyone craving Korean BBQ. The self-cook grilling is a highlight! I absolutely loved the pork belly and spicy chicken wings. The atmosphere is lively and fun, a perfect place for groups. Although the service could do with more attentiveness, I found the overall experience enjoyable, leaving us satisfied and full. Can’t wait to come back! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Gen Korean BBQ House for the first time last weekend. I was truly impressed by the vibrant atmosphere filled with laughter and sizzling meats. The all-you-can-eat option was fantastic, allowing us to sample a wide variety of dishes. The bulgogi was particularly delicious and well-marinated. Although the service was a bit slow at times, the fun of grilling our own food made up for it. I'll definitely be returning for another round of delicious Korean BBQ. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had been recommended Gen Korean BBQ by friends, and I was curious to see if it lived up to the hype. The self-cooking aspect was fun, and the meats were indeed fresh and flavorful. However, service was below average. I felt ignored at times, which can dampen the dining experience. I may return for the food but I hope the service improves. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was very impressed with the variety here! Gen Korean BBQ exceeded my expectations with their menu. Each dish was mouthwatering, and I truly felt a connection to Korean culture through the food. The grill was easy to use, and I enjoyed watching my meal come together. My only complaint is that the service seemed slightly overwhelmed on a busy night, but it didn't diminish my experience too much. " (*Curated Review*)
