" I’ve been a regular visitor to Gen Korean BBQ for years and it remains my go-to spot for KBBQ! The flavors, especially the bulgogi and pork belly, are always spot on. The two-hour limit for all-you-can-eat is plenty of time, and the staff are pretty efficient. The only issue was when they seemed understaffed during peak hours, which can lead to longer wait times for food. Still, it's a great value for the quality of food you get. " (*Curated Review*)

" I've been to many Korean BBQs, and I can confidently say this is one of the better ones! The flavors in the marinated meats were robust and just perfect for grilling. Every visit has been consistent in terms of both quality and service. Highly recommend their spicy shrimp! " (*Curated Review*)

" I took my family here for lunch, and while we enjoyed it, I wish the meat portions were larger. The flavors were good, but we found ourselves frequently reordering. The ambiance is lively which increased our overall enjoyment, but I think improvements can be made on food volume. " (*Curated Review*)

" The only downside to our experience was the wait time. Once seated, however, we enjoyed the food very much. The side dishes were plentiful, and the grilled items were very flavorful. I would suggest they find ways to improve on timings, as our orders took longer than expected. Otherwise, a good spot for KBBQ. " (*Curated Review*)

" This place was amazing! First time experiencing Korean BBQ, and I was blown away! The grilling at the table was so much fun, and all the meats we tried were delicious. Each came with their own dipping sauces, which made the flavors pop. I can't wait to come back and try more! " (*Curated Review*)

" While the food was decent, we felt rushed throughout our meal. The staff did a decent job but seemed overwhelmed, leading to longer wait times. The grilling was fun, but I'd prefer a more relaxed pace next time. The variety of dips and side dishes were enjoyable at least! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you want good Korean BBQ, this is the place to be! Their marinated meats are out of this world. The waitstaff could be a bit more attentive, but overall, the grilling experience and atmosphere more than make up for it. Highly recommend their short ribs! " (*Curated Review*)
