| - Came here on a Friday night and understandably there was a long wait. 45 minutes for a party of two, but great thing is they can send you a text when your table's ready, eliminating the need to stand around in a cramped area. Allowed some time to do some quick mall browsing. The 45 min estimated wait time was very accurate.
The atmosphere is really nice and feels more like a high-end sushi or lounge type of environment. Definitely not the traditional Korean restaurant look. But the vibe was vibrant, active, and seemed fun. Couple big screen TVs that were airing sports. Seemed more geared towards the younger crowd and families. Decent alcohol selection.
We were seated at the bar. As someone who prefers more privacy when dining, I didn't like it at first, but found that it was a great spot to be seated at since it was easy to flag someone down or have servers continually stop by for orders. Our grill went out several times, but finally someone devised a way to keep the air flow going. I liked that the grill was set down into the table, which helped keep any grease splatters to a minimum.
Highlights:
#10 Marinated premium steak - very tender, and was our top meat choice
Salad
Side dishes - I loved all their kimchis. The cabbage, radish, and cucumber. Just the right amount of fermentation for my tastes.
Average:
#17 Smoked garlic pork belly - came with the rind, and was flavorful but a bit too much of a smoked flavor
Brisket - used to smaller pieces, and every piece had quite a bit of fat on it
Cajun shrimp
Fried squid legs - crispy
Fried spicy rice cake - I love rice cake so naturally I loved that this was offered. However don't expect the 'spicy' sauce to be in any way similar to ddukbokki (Korean spicy rice cake). It was more of a sweet chili sauce.
Didn't enjoy:
Seaweed salad - Seemed frozen, and one of the ingredients in it was overpowering in a bad way
Wanted to try popcorn shrimp, but we were told that they had sold out of it.
Have to ask for rice, sesame oil, soybean paste, garlic/jalapenos.
Let downs: No Korean boricha barley tea, no gochujang (red pepper paste), no soybean or tofu soup, no steamed egg, no rice papers. No desserts (afaik)
Service was prompt and empty plates were taken away efficiently. Unfortunately we forgot to catch everyone's names, but we were helped by several servers who were all friendly and eager to help. This isn't one of those BBQ places where the server comes by and helps you cook your meats. (Never realized there's people out there who expect the server to cook all your meats for you!)
For $20 a person, Gen Korean BBQ is an awesome deal. Even with a generous tip, it's still cheaper than most other places. What sets this place apart from other Korean BBQ places in Vegas are the atmosphere, service, and much wider menu selection. Definitely a good one to add to the rotation if you're a KBBQ fan.
