" My experience at Genwa Korean BBQ was top-notch! The ambiance was perfect for a cozy dinner and the marinated galbi was to die for. I indulged in their various banchan and each one was flavorful. The service was attentive, making sure we weren't left waiting, and they helped us navigate the menu since it was our first time. A bit pricey, but worth every penny for the quality provided. I can't wait to return! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a delightful place! The atmosphere of Genwa is welcoming and warm. The food was spectacular. The beef tongue we ordered was cooked to perfection, alongside an impressive selection of banchan. If you ever wondered about hosting a larger gathering here, it’s a great place for that, as they have ample space for big parties. Super thrilled and definitely would return! " (*Curated Review*)

" I love everything about Genwa! The classic Korean BBQ experience combined with a stylish environment makes it truly unique. The staff was incredibly helpful when choosing our meals, and the quality was unmatched. I highly recommend the combination courses—they're plentiful and let you try various dishes. This place will be a regular for me from now on! " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at Genwa was mixed. While the quality of meat was wonderful, I did find the waitstaff slow at times. The restaurant's ambiance was quite high-class which I appreciated, but I couldn't shake the feeling that I was being rushed. I'd rate it a solid 3, and while I did enjoy it, I'm not in a rush to return. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a birthday dinner here and was thrilled with how everything turned out! The staff surprised us with a complimentary dessert, which was a sweet touch. If you're looking for authentic Korean BBQ with that upscale feel, Genwa is your place! Every dish was crafted with care, especially the kalbi that melted in my mouth. Brilliant experience, and I'll definitely return on my next trip to LA. " (*Curated Review*)

" Genwa has been my go-to for Korean BBQ! The food quality remains consistently high, and the atmosphere is always welcoming. I particularly love the variety of banchan; it's a fantastic way to explore traditional flavors. Despite being a bit on the pricy side, I believe the quality justifies the cost. Already planning my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" My first time dining at Genwa Korean BBQ, and it was an experience! The environment felt upscale and classy, which was a pleasant surprise compared to many casual KBBQ places. We ordered a premium beef platter that came highly recommended; the meat quality was incredible. Even the pickled vegetables were a treat. The only downside was the noise level; it can be a bit overwhelming during peak hours. Still, I'd rate it a solid 4 out of 5! " (*Curated Review*)
