| - I was really excited when Gen opened in Arizona. Having tried Gen in California few times, I knew what to expect. Having said that, I probably had high expectations.
We didn't have any problem getting seated right away for Saturday lunch. We had party of 5 and one of the employees gave us a quick run down of the rules to follow (2 hour limit, 4 orders at a time, $5 charge per dishes of meat left, etc). Side dishes such as japchae, soontofu, and salad did not count towards the 4 orders at a time rule.
Our meal started off great. Our waiter was very attentive, very quick to bring out the meat and change out the grill when it was dirty. However, half way through when they started getting busy, we had to flag down our waiter when we needed something. He came by less and less.
My other concern was that each order was quite small. Having 5 of us eating, it was only enough for each of us to get 1 bite from each order. The size of dishes should vary depending on number in your party or allow more dishes to be ordered for bigger parties.
The quality of food and meat in general was compatible with what I experienced in California. I'm super happy about that. I will return every chance I get a korean bbq craving and $24.99 price point can't be beat.
