    Came to Genki Grill for lunch as I wanted a spot that was fairly healthy and not too expensive. Although the menu looks a bit confusing, it's pretty straightforward. Choose your type of protein (chicken, beef, spicy pork, or tofu), choose the size (mini bowl, bowl, two item bowl, or plate, and figure out if you want extra meat or white meat. There is also a separate short rib plate if you desire that. Since I was trying to stay healthy, I opted for a beef and chicken plate and subbed out the rice for vegetables. Quality food here as everything is prepared on order. Considering how expensive everything is these days, the price isn't bad either. Staff here are very friendly, no complaints from me. I wouldn't necessarily go out of my way to come here, but if I'm in the area it's not a bad option.

    Service was great. Very attentive to customers who walk in. The communication between the cashier and the cooks worked well in getting my order out to me quicker. And the place looked well put together, clean and direct. There isn't anything about this place that screams at you and wows you. This place is an order, stay if you want or take it to go vibe. My food is the reason I gave it 3 stars. Although it tasted great, I felt like there was more rice than there was chicken in my mini bowl. Meeting me in the middle would've been better. Chicken was cooked thoroughly. Rice tasted fresh. For me it was just the portion size. I was left hungrier than I was when I came in to order. Maybe that's just what it is about the mini. I dont mind giving this place another shot with their regular sized plate or bowl.

    Spicy porn & teriyaki chicken

    This place is sort of like all the other teriyaki bowl places but way better. The small business touch to this common item in California is done so well with delicious sauce and really well prepared spicy pork and chicken that hits the mark. I recommend both the spicy pork and their chicken bowls. The price is on par with the quality and amount of food they pack in those Togo packages. I want to say this place is in my top three teriyaki bowl place

    My partner & I went in last night for a quick meal on the way home. It was very fast service, the staff that was working were so polite and friendly. It's a small, tasty little place. Much better than flame broiler in my opinion. We both loved our food.

    The food was delicious & the service was amazing. Ambiance was relaxing with a tv playing. They had a good drink and snack collection too. No public restrooms though.

    Thank you so much to the team! We had a group of teens for a construction camp lunch and we took over the place so they were fueled before a jobsite walk! As always the food is great!

    Amazing flavor from the chicken and pork. Friendly service. Small parking lot. They had a news channel playing on a T.V.. Owner was super friendly and happy that I stopped by. Chicken was tender, and teriyaki sauce had a nice sweetness to it that cuts through the chicken and pork really well. Rice was cooked well. Green onion was crisp. If I'm in the area, I would stop by again.

    Food is good. Our family's favorites are the spicy pork bowl and the short rib plate. Service is awesome. They are always friendly. Place ambiance is simple almost giving out the small canteen vibe. A lot of workers come here to eat lunch or have items to go. You can always call in advance to order your food and it is usually cooked fast.

    Hidden gem with generous food portions. The meat is expertly cut and cooked to perfection, always fresh. Their trio of sauces - two spicy options and a delightful teriyaki sauce - are simply divine. The staff is welcoming and efficient, with convenient parking available. A must-try spot for a satisfying lunch

    Plate of rice spicy pork and beef. (Ignore the chicken on top....I took it off the other plate I had )

Wait…read moretypically isn't too long and although it seems like they tend to be understaffed, you can tell the workers are working hard to accommodate all the customers. They start off by giving us cups with a jug of water and thermos that has broth from gomtang inside. The menu is pretty extensive a good variety of cold and hot soups and entrees. After you order, they give you a variety of sides to complement the meal which is great to snack on while waiting for the meal. If you have a bigger group, the kalbijjim is perfect to share as it is huge and comes with a lot of braised short rib, veggies, and noodles that have soaked up the sauce. The short rib is so tender and is very rich in flavor. The naengmyeon is cool and refreshing especially on a hot day. The seolleongtang is warm and soothing with salt to adjust to your liking and the purple rice to soak up the depth of the soup broth.

    This ended up being a great spot for Korean comfort food…read more I had the Yukgaejang Mandu (#20), which was great! A nice thick and savory stew of shredded beef and vegetables, which had some heat, yet not overwhelmingly spicy. There was also a dumpling that added some additional heartiness. The banchan was also a good way to start the meal...I left very satisfied. The place is decorated in a simple and casual manner, so the focus is really the food. The service was attentive.

I went with their "Combo B", which came with three types of pork for $69. They grill the meats for you and the meat was nicely crusted with a crispy exterior and juicy interior. It's perfect. What brings the experience to another level is their pickled vegetables, kimchi, and scallion salad, which brings acidity to balance out the fatty pork. Then you also have some nice seasonings (soybean paste, wasabi, salt, and seasoned soy) to give some other flavor variations to the meat. We asked for a side of rice, which was perfectly steamed. This was a great meal that was worth the cost.

My favorites were the salt, garlic oil salt, and wasabi, but I truly loved them all. There many different options and so much variety that I never got sick of the meat. The kimchi tofu stew was also a great addition and had meat in it too, which made it so hearty and rich. I would definitely come here again!
