Gen is a great place to get some Korean BBQ! The interior makes it feel modern and trendy which is nice compared to other bbq places in the valley. The meats are delicious and fill you up! I'm a big fan of the pork belly and their mashed potatoes were surprisingly good. My only issue with this place, like with others, is the REALLY long wait. We went on a Friday at around 7, and had to wait a little over 2 hours for a table. But at least the food makes up for it. It's conveniently located at the Tempe Marketplace, so you can walk around while you wait for a text that a table is ready. Another con is that we had to sit up on the bar stools in the middle of the restaurant. At that point, we were HANGRY, and not eating and leaving because of a bar stool was not an option. I preferred a booth but oh well. Touching elbows with a stranger isn't the best experience! The waiters were attentive, but some of our orders got mixed up which is understandable since it was hectic!
My conclusion: only go here if you are willing to wait for a table and have time to spare!
