First off let's talk customer service 10/10!!…read more Second the food...... Hands down the best bbq in the IE!! I don't think you can prove me wrong (go ahead try!). The ribs, delicious brisket!! Mac and cream corn was seasoned perfectly to my liking AND I did not have to drive to LA. If you can't tell I'm coming back , bringing friends and looking forward to trying more items on the menu. If you on the fence stop you found it.

We stopped by Haven City for a quick dinner and were really excited to finally try Henry's BBQ…read moresince we'd never been before. My husband ordered the brisket with potato salad and creamed corn, along with a side of the jalapeño cheddar sausage. He took a couple bites of the brisket and immediately said it tasted like straight propane and was basically inedible. I tried it myself thinking maybe he was exaggerating, but unfortunately I completely agreed. There was a really strong propane/burnt taste to it. I went up to the cashier just to give her a heads up so they could double check what was going on with the brisket. She was actually very kind and offered us a full refund for the plate, which we really appreciated. We had no issues with the sausage. Unfortunately, not long after we got home, we both started feeling sick. My husband was throwing up throughout the night, and I had pretty bad stomach pains. Obviously I can't say for certain what caused it, but the timing was definitely concerning. That said, I do want to give them credit for how they handled the situation. The cashier was very nice and made things right without any hassle. Staff were all very friendly. Hopefully this was just a one off because we'd still like to give them another try and hopefully have a much better experience next time.

We had a pretty concerning experience at U-Grill Korean BBQ tonight. While we were eating, my…read moreboyfriend kept saying his foot was slipping, but we didn't think much of it. When we were getting ready to leave, we noticed grease coming from underneath the BBQ grill and all over the floor. It had gotten all over my son's shoes and my boyfriend's shoes. We told the manager, and he said he didn't see anything. The restaurant is really dark, and honestly, he didn't really inspect it. I had to pull out my phone and use the flashlight just so we could actually see the grease underneath the grill. He told us they recently changed management and that he had nothing to do with the previous management. When we asked what they could do, the only options were $40 off the bill or we could send them the bill for getting the shoes professionally cleaned. At that point, we just took the $40 off and left. We didn't want to have to keep going back and forth with them, especially when the manager wasn't even willing to properly look underneath the grill. I'm not looking for anything from the restaurant at this point. I just felt this was something that needed to be reported, so I submitted a complaint to Environmental Health. Hopefully they can inspect the equipment and make sure this isn't happening to other customers.

We had an amazing experience at Gen Korean BBQ in Rancho Cucamonga! The service was exceptional,…read moreand the food was great. We only waited about 5 minutes to be seated, and everything came out within just a few minutes. Our server, Myles B, was absolutely excellent! He gave us great recommendations, was incredibly patient with us, and consistently checked in to make sure everything was good. His attention to detail and customer service really made our experience stand out. Out of all the Gen's locations we've been to, this was by far the BEST customer service we've received! Myles deserves recognition for the amazing job he does. We truly appreciated his kindness, patience, and attentiveness. We'll definitely be coming back!

1 Star If I could…read moregive this place 0 stars, I would. My family and I went to GEN Korean BBQ last night for a family dinner, and unfortunately, the experience was extremely disappointing. This is now the third time in the past six months that I've visited, and I've consistently noticed what I believe to be the managers appearing unhappy, snappy, and unwelcoming. I will say that the food was okay, and our server was very nice and helpful. Unfortunately, the positive experience with our server was overshadowed by the behavior of management. What really stood out to me this time was witnessing one of the managers screaming at their employees. As a paying customer who came to enjoy dinner with my family, the last thing I want to witness is management treating their employees this way. It was incredibly unprofessional and in poor taste. Employees deserve to be treated with respect, and management should be setting a positive example rather than creating an uncomfortable environment for both their staff and customers. After reading other Yelp reviews, I've noticed that I'm not the only person who has had concerns about this establishment. I've come across multiple negative reviews mentioning how unhappy the servers and other staff members appear. It honestly makes me wonder whether the way management treats its employees contributes to the atmosphere customers are noticing. After witnessing a manager screaming at an employee myself, I can understand why working here might be a miserable experience. I wouldn't want to work somewhere I felt disrespected or embarrassed by the very people who are supposed to lead me. Management sets the tone for the entire workplace, and the way employees are treated can absolutely affect the atmosphere customers experience. What makes this even more disappointing is that my family and I have been coming here for over a year. I remember when there was a sweet young woman who was a manager, along with a few other managers who were genuinely kind, welcoming, and always greeted us with a smile. I haven't seen those managers in quite some time, and I can only assume they no longer work there. The difference in the atmosphere since then has been noticeable. It makes me wonder what has changed and who is responsible for hiring and training the current management team. Based on my experiences, there seems to be a serious lack of professionalism and customer service skills among the managers we've encountered. And unfortunately, the problems aren't limited to management's attitude. The last time we visited during the summer, there was absolutely no air conditioning. It was around 100 degrees outside, and with the heat from all the grills, sitting inside the restaurant felt like absolute hell. I understand that restaurant equipment can break, but customers should be able to enjoy their meals in a reasonably comfortable environment. For a restaurant chain like GEN Korean BBQ, I would expect the basic comfort of its guests to be a priority. That experience, combined with everything else, left me questioning whether customer satisfaction is even a concern for this location. This establishment has seriously gone downhill, and it's disappointing to see. The food can be decent, and the servers can be wonderful, but that doesn't make up for poor management, an uncomfortable dining environment, and the behavior I've witnessed toward employees. After multiple disappointing experiences, my family and I will not be returning. At this rate, I genuinely question how much longer this location can maintain its customer base if things continue this way. Ownership needs to take a serious look at what's happening, evaluate its management team, and make meaningful changes before it loses even more customers. We used to enjoy coming here, but sadly, it is no longer the experience it once was.

The meat was high quality and personally very well cooked to my liking. I love a medium rare more on the pinker side I wasn't expecting many options for me because his family loves a more well done meat. There is meat for all preferences my bf got his well done mine came out a beautiful pink. Everyone was happy with their exact preference. The bar for sides was so surprisingly filled with so many options. It was all so fresh and paired so well with the meat. The experience was also so inclusive. Our server Jackie was absolutely amazing. She checked on us very frequently. Never an empty glass, an empty plate was always picked up right away, and she was very quick with everything. While being very efficient I loved that she really took her time explaining how everything worked. Very patient. His family only speaks Spanish and I don't know Spanish very well. She translated everything to me personally which was very refreshing usually my bf translates the whole dinner for me this made me feel very included, and well taken care of. Will definitely bring my family they'd love it! One note I had was the fries we started w were a little stale but that was completely drowned out by my great experience!!
