    This time, the service was much better. However, the food was not as good as it used to be. Many of the things that were once great now feel questionable in quality. It's truly sad to see what used to be an amazing restaurant decline after their IPO. The rice, the sauce, and even the grill all seem to have changed for the worse. The grill is the worst part -- it now has a strong "chemical" nonstick coating that affects the overall experience

    I am not an expert on Korean food, but compared to other Korean restaurants I've been to, this was very good. Atmosphere was great and selection was overwhelming. It was event, not just dinner.

    Yummy! My recs are beef belly and Galbi ribs

    I got the best experience here at Gen! I've been here a lot of times in the past but this time really stood out. Daniel our server took such good care of us. In fact the whole team here were hustling and checking on each table. The food got to us so, so fast and in fact for a while the meat kept coming non stop it felt like royal vip treatment! My family and I loved our time here will definitely come back soon. Dominick the manager was super awesome too- it's awesome seeing everyone step in and help.

    Services was my only issue kept forgetting what we asked for. Amiance was casual and good. You cook your on food so good.

    Empty drink. Empty grill. The Gen special

    Great food but never go during a dinner rush. We visited Gen 2 times with similar experiences. We were left waiting for 20+ minutes on end for literally anything. Our first visit, we waited 20+ minutes for a manager to cash out our check, which was extra exhausting because we didn't even have food to eat while waiting. Our second visit, we enjoyed our first round of meat then were left with an empty grill and empty drinks for 20+ minutes before our server even noticed us. By the time he came by, frustration pretty much spoiled the meal/experience and we asked for the check. This place could honestly be a gem if they staffed appropriately and provided any form of actual customer service. TLDR; good food but probably only visit during non-busy hours or expect wait times and poor customer service that rivals even the DMV.

    The place is super Smokey and oily. We were seated quickly on a Sunday night around 6pm. We had the premium menu which is recommended if you like better cuts of meat. It was a busy night and it felt a little understaff. The food was slow to come out and our poor waiter kept on being pulled to different tables. The best thing was how quickly they change out the grills as it blackens. The thicker cuts of meat weren't very juicy especially when it's leaner. I enjoyed the thinner slices. The lightly marinated ones are better. We also tried the shin ramen but it came out in a paper bowl. Maybe japchae would've been better. Our mock tails were way too sweet. The dragonfruit sparkle wasn't much sparkle and more syrups

    We went here on the weekend during lunch and order the dinner menu with the premium meat. Overall the cost is $50 dollars, but we got the Costco gift card for $80 for $100 dollars. This time we knew what to order and focused on the premium meat. The place was not busy at 11am, but got more busier after 12pm. My advice is show up at opening as the plaza does get busy after 12pm and parking will be much harder to find. I do love the wagyu beef, ribeye, short rib and beef tongue. I do like the salad that comes with it. If you have the money I would just pay extra for the meat. This time we did not leave stuffed. The potato salad was good too. Anyways a great place to go to.

I believe it was the owner who came around and was handing out Easter eggs to my kids and paper to draw on. She told me she would keep the kids busy so I could relax and enjoy my food. She also walked around with another table's toddler to keep him busy so that mom could finish her food too. That alone made me want to come back. Our waitress was amazing and recommended the Katsu Curry which is not the original Katsu Curry, but a ramen version. She let me know and said if I like ramen and Katsu Curry then this would be a good choice. It was. The curry ramen broth clung to the noodles and was packed with flavor. I loved that there was potatoes and carrots still, because that's something I love in curry. It's definitely my favorite version of ramen now. We ordered each type of the animal buns. The kids had fun eating and trying them. The bunny/Nutella, and Piggy/pork, were their favorites. They provide a shipping sauce for the savory buns, but we enjoyed them without the sauce. Service, food, and ambiance was all top notch. The inside of the restaurant is beautiful, clean and well maintained. The tables have plenty of room between each other and they can do small and large groups. We've added this place to our family favorites.

Only thing is the shoestring fries had no salt and the waffle fries were overly seasoned. If they could find a middle ground for both, I think the fries would be good. They also have a HH going on right now from Monday-Thursday 1/2 off soju & draft beers. Will definitely be coming back soon to try other things!

When we walked in, the hostess had a poor attitude and was off putting. Unfriendly and borderline rude. We made sure to get there as soon as they opened because we knew it would be dead, and we'd have better luck at quicker service. Unfortunately, they sat us outside because we had our ESA animal in an enclosed carrier after grilling us about what services he performs, and I believe we were forgotten about since we were the only ones on the porch. It was a very warm day with high humidity. I asked the hostess if she could make sure the fans were on since it was so hot, and she asked, "So, you want me to turn them off?" We only ordered two apps of Roti Canai, one order of the twice friend wings, and an order or the donuts (all were ordered at once to help speed things along since it was so hot outside.) It took quite a while, and the wings came out soggy and cold, which is not the norm. A thunderstorm was coming in, and we had been waiting on our donuts for at least 20 minutes at this point. My husband informed the hostess that we would have to either cancel the order or move inside since it was about to start raining. She flippantly said that she would have to ask the manager first if we were allowed inside. We were so turned off that it really ruined the experience, and it was not the way we wanted to celebrate Mother's Day. The donuts finally came out (also cold), and I had my husband just give her the credit card without the check so we could hurry up and get off the porch before it started coming down. We rushed through the dessert and left. Not loving our experience and not sure if we'll be back until the attitude and service changes. We're bummed because we were always a fan of this place until now.
