| - Coming from LA, I'm a bit biased towards Korean BBQ since I've grown up eating Korean BBQ in Koreatown in LA. However, in Henderson, Gen contends to be a very comparable KBBQ venue for transplants from LA.
The lunch is $15 on weekdays and dinner (and weekends lunches) are $20. The premise is all you can eat (AYCE) meat, and most of the meat is decent quality. Some AYCE restaurants serve low quality meats so they can bring your a tremendous quantity, but Gen doesn't compromise quality. The beef brisket and tongue are very tender and juicy even if you have to cook it yourself and believe me, I've gotten way more plates of those order than I should. Their pork belly (samgyupsal) is worth trying although I'm only a moderate fan of that cut. Their soy sauce has a mild tart and sweet flavor which adds a unique flavor when you dip meat into it. You can ask for all sorts of side dishes included in the price such as japchae (glass noodles), calamari, tofu soup, etc.
I'm somewhat of a KBBQ veteran having eaten at many AYCE KBBQ places, and Gen is near the top in my overall list of KBBQ to visit again.
The parking is at the Galleria Mall. And if you have to wait for seating, which can happen during dinnertime, you can always wait while shopping at the mall.
The wait staff is very friendly and attentive even when business gets busy.
They have you pay your check on an iPad which can be unsual for some folks, but they make the process very easy and low-pressure as they look away when you select a tip amount in front of them.
