" I had high hopes for this place but was a bit let down. While the atmosphere was nice and the staff were friendly, I found the food to be slightly overpriced for what you get. The marinated meats were okay, but I've had better at other local spots. Still, if you're into Korean BBQ, it could be worth checking out! " (*Curated Review*)

" This is the best Korean BBQ I've ever been to! The selection of meats is top-notch, and cooking them at the table made it really fun. The banchan was fresh and complemented the dishes well. Service was also attentive, making the whole experience memorable. Highly recommend for any BBQ lover! " (*Curated Review*)

" Just okay in my opinion. I expected more out of the flavors and portion sizes. The spicy pork belly was good but not great. I felt the service was attentive, but that didn’t make up for the lack of strong flavors in most dishes. The ambiance was nice, but I don’t think I would rush back. " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely loved my dining experience at Gen! The lively environment made our meal even better. The meat selection was extensive - I particularly enjoyed the Korean short ribs. The grilling process was fun, and we never felt rushed. Our server was friendly and checked on us often. I’ll definitely return! " (*Curated Review*)

" Wow! What an experience! I’ve never grilled my own food at a restaurant before, and it was so enjoyable! The variety of meats was impressive, and everything was well-marinated and flavorful. Service was good, though we did have to remind our server once. Overall a great fun time with friends! " (*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*)
