Met up with family at this restaurant for a weekday lunch. I'm not well-versed on Korean cuisine,…read moreand there are only a few dishes I feel safe ordering with the short ribs being one of them. Our group ordered the 2 meat/2 soup special for 4 persons and it was definitely enough food for our group. The short ribs were excellent and I even enjoyed the soups (not sure what they're called, but one was pork and one was beef). Excellent service throughout and the place was very busy. Parking could be a challenge depending on the time of day as it's shared with other merchants.

Wow, I am never coming back. Management may see this and not care because I'm one person out of…read moremany and they make enough money. But sheesh I felt racism aura all around. Something against Filipinos? Or me? Did I do something wrong? I ordered bibimbap and so did my dad. My sister got tofu soup. My mom was sharing soup with her. It was obnoxiously loud because there was a birthday being celebrated at the table in the middle (not the staff's fault but maybe this got on the staff's nerves?) I asked for 1 refill of the side dishes. 1. Waitress gives us a refill. So that's the initial set of side dishes and 1 refill. As my dad goes up to the back portion of the restaurant to pay, I ask for another refill of side dishes. Lady with shorter hair says, "no." with a stern look of disgust. I go, "uhh..okay." Really weird, that's never happened before, ever. My sister and mom left a few minutes prior and got their tofu soup to go because of how loud it was--we weren't done with our meal they just wanted to get out of there. If the soup was still on the table and all 4 of us were sitting down, would she still have said no? We then left a $5 tip (I wanted to give $0 actually after what just happened). As I left the table and went out the door, I saw the waitress looking at our table from the back where you pay, she was checking to see if we even left a tip (because my dad didn't put a tip on the bill as we like to leave cash tips). Just all around bad vibes. I very rarely give 1 star reviews. Actually the food here is unfortunately phenomenal, so if you've never had a bad experience here go ahead and continue eating here it's great. Food portions are terribly small for the price you pay. It's a flat out rip off for the cost. Maybe if their service was good it would justify the cost, but their service as described above, despicable. I know my thoughts are all over the place but I'm a bit rattled still at what just happened. I finished eating there 7:48pm, it's 8:03pm as I'm typing this on my phone in the car while the memory is fresh. That's how irked I am. They did not refill our water or ask to refill our water until I asked, and I only asked once. I saw they asked other tables if they wanted refills of water. That, plus the side dish refill and the short haired lady who's probably the owner saying no? I never want to come back. I felt disrespected, unappreciated, and felt racially profiled like because I'm Filipino she didn't like our kind there or something. The vibes were really off. I'm never coming back here voluntarily. At least that's how I feel right now. My experience, 0/5. The food, unfortunately 4/5, Score: 1 star because that's the lowest I can give it. Expect to see this review on here, Google, Instagram, Facebook, Threads, and TikTok. To the owner / waitress who didn't give me refills on the side dishes, if you're reading this: didn't think I'd go this far to share my experience did you? The angry side of me hopes you lose business. The more peaceful side of me hopes you read this, think about what you did and if it was right, and think about your customer service and making people that come to your establishment and paying you to eat your food, happy. Because the look you gave when you said, "no." When I asked for the refill of side dishes, you might as well have spit on my face. That's how it felt. If you feel no remorse over this incident, then I wish poorly on your business, but I doubt this review will affect your profits. Good bye. Never again.

Service was amazing here as the staff attentive. Tangerine Soju slush (5/5): Was going to get the strawberry one, but the staff recommended this one instead. I am so glad I took their advice. It wasn't too sweet and tasted fresh. Beef tartare (5/5): Definitely one of the best I've ever tried. A pile of raw beef pieces on top of slices of pears and topped with a raw egg. The creaminess from the runny egg really enhances the flavors of the beef. The pear was refreshing and added a hint of freshness Seafood pancake (5/5): This was also one of the best I've ever had. There was plenty of seafood and the outter batter was crunchy. Cold noodle (5/5): Was very refreshing on a hot day, but the mustard was very spicy. Probably recommend this if you're not sharing with a large party. Original Kalbijim (5/5): Now time for the star of the show. I really recommend getting it with cheese. The meat was fall right off the bone and tender. The flavor of the sauce was complex with many different tastes Daeho did not let me down once again.

We didn't get the rice with the 2 meat dishes that I asked about when I ordered. I called back and person was very apologetic, which is something. The kimchi pancake had more zucchini than kimchi and was mushy and bland. The japchae had only minimal carrot and a few meat pieces but nothing else. This must have spinach to taste at all authentic. It was also bland. Overall one of the worst experiences I've had here. Very sad with our $90 worth of food. We will probably give them another try because maybe this was just one off.

I definitely recommend joining the waitlist ahead of time and timing it accordingly. We've been to Gen at other locations before, but this was my first time visiting this location. Each round, you can order four meats and two appetizers, if I remember correctly. Our server was great! He checked on our table frequently and made sure we could order more food, which I really appreciated. A solid spot if you're craving AYCE KBQQ.

Not a good experience at all. I started feeling sick during the meal after eating the meat here,…read moreand it completely ruined my dining experience. This place seriously needs an inspection and better customer service training. Why does a paying customer have to show more politeness and respect than the actual servers? The attitude from the staff was unacceptable, especially when customers are paying for both the food and the service. Imagine being a server and rolling your eyes at a customer who is simply being polite and saying thank you. I genuinely don't understand the hostility. If you hate your job that much, maybe you shouldn't be working in customer service. To make matters worse, the prices are not worth the poor service, and the expectation of receiving an additional tip while treating customers with such a horrible attitude is ridiculous. Management needs to step up, provide proper employee training, and take both food safety and customer service seriously. If these issues aren't addressed, I honestly don't see why anyone should spend their money here. Absolutely disappointing experience.

Too many good things bundled in one :3 We arrived on a Wednesday evening and experienced no wait, though I imagine weekends are more lively. Large parking lot attached to the side. The restaurant is spacious and cozy, decorated with a blend of modern and traditional decor. Lighthearted pop covers fill the room with an upbeat air. All staff caring for us were kind and accommodating. My partner and I both chose the B course ($39.95/ea). Great options & good quality meats! Even delicious options for pescatarians :P Some favorites: - PRIME BEEF MARINATED SHORT RIB (perfectly seasoned) - PREMIUM PORK BELLY (so juicy. IMO better than their flavored ones because less salty. Admittedly I broke my pork fast for KBBQ... OTL) - SPICY SQUID (yooooo unexpectedly fire) The meats are generously portioned; prepare yourself with a voracious appetite :P Already looking forward to the next visit~~~

My only complaint is there was only two bonchon's that came with our meal. I am used to having at least 4 different bonchons to snack on but our dinner was still good.

The spicy rice cakes weren't grainy which I like, and had a rather smooth taste to the sauce that not a lot of restaurants do. The buckwheat noodles tasted fantastic and it was so refreshing. Lastly, the fried chicken was so good! I would recommend coming here if you want to try some kinds of Korean street food and such!
