| - 5 star review for our dinner at Gen. We went around 8:30 pm on a Thursday and there was no wait. We were seated promptly at a booth, which was very spacious given the extra ledge on the top. I think Korean BBQ places are always lacking table space since there's so many plates.
Our server, Ozzy, totally made our experience at Gen memorable. He was very attentive and always came by right when we needed him to order more dishes. He had great recommendations and everything was delicious.
Coming from LA, I was so happy to see that Gen had made its way to us from Henderson. We had the dinner menu, and we got to have all you can eat appetizers in addition to the meat. The only downside is that they ran out of the seaweed salad, but there was plenty of other food to make up for it.
Must get: galbi, bulgogi beef, signature pork steak, bulgogi chicken, japchae
Good: chadol (brisket), bulgogi pork, garlic chicken with cheese fondue (interesting), fried chicken, popcorn shrimp, grilled veggies
Probably not again: fried squid legs, Cajun shrimp (too much work to peel)
As with any AYCE Korean BBQ, there are plenty of side dishes, rice paper, salad, rice, etc to accompany your meat. The staff was very attentive our your needs and changed our grill pretty frequently. The thing I love about Gen is the small portion size. We were able to try so many things with just the four of us.
We also enjoyed reverse happy hour towards the end of our meal. We could mix two flavors of soju, our favorite was the Peach/Yogurt recommended to us by Ozzy. We also tried strawberry/mango and pina colada/yogurt which were good too. All of them are pretty sweet as soju drinks usually are. Overall, we'd definitely visit again!
