Ample of parking space. Saturday dinner obviously we had to wait for almost an hour, but it was worth the wait. The server who... took care of us was very friendly and we were given much attention even when the restaurant was packed. Very good food, theydint have the tongue on the menu but overall the variety of the food, ambiance of the restaurant and the service was toonotch. We ordered gulbi, 2 pork belly and rice on the side even before we sat down and the food was out in no time. We dinteven order appetizers yet. Lovely and will be back again. Read more
My son took me here. Great food you cook yourself. Very cool vibe inside. Our server was amazing and attentive. Kept it table... cleared of used dishes and kept that brisket coming Read more
This was my 1st experience at a Korean barbecue with my husband and it was amazing. The staff was very good and at checking in... at good intervals instead of being persistent. They did change the grill pan various times during our meal which I trulyappreciated. The quality of the meat also seemed fresh and really good Read more
By far the worst Gen I've ever been to which is a real shame. Visited for dinner on 1/29/2022. When we pulled we went around... the wrong side of the building and the door was busted out and covered in plywood. We thought that maybe it was out of businessuntil we saw some people walk out. We should have left. We walked in and a woman was standing around waiting for someone toshow up to the hostess stand because apparently she was picking up food to go? Finally someone showed up and she got her to-gobag and we put our name down on the waiting list. We should have left. I went to the bathroom while we waited. One whole sinkwas missing a fixture, the other sink was broken and wouldn't turn off, but only the broken sink had a working soapdispenser. We should have left. I have Celiac so I can't have gluten. Soy sauce has gluten, so I can't eat anything marinatedhere. Unfortunately almost everything we ordered that we know doesn't have gluten was out of stock. I settled on brisket, porkbelly and a premium steak. When they dropped off utensils, both pair of tongs were visibly caked with food. I handed them backto the waitress and she said, "oh they're dirty." Uh, yeah. Dishes were also really chipped which I know is a health codeissue. The new tongs she brought over were visibly broken with the plastic heat protector hanging on by a thread. (See pics) Iasked the waitress if I could have a dish with only oil in it because I have Celiac and can't have soy sauce that was in myoriginal salt / oil / soy sauce dish. She came back with a 3 compartment dish of oil and EVERY SINGLE COMPARTMENT had drops ofsoy sauce in it. Is this a joke? At this point I was over it and just had the green tea salt solo on my food. Meh. (Seepics.) Food wasn't good and it just felt dirty. Worst Gen experience ever. We should have left! Read more
Solid place for Korean BBQ. The server was always checking up to see if we needed more food, and they take Covid precautions... seriously. The marinated short ribs and calamari steak was awesome. The one thing that could have been better is if I hadactually gotten a sharper scissor. Read more
So yummy! ???? Wait time was not long for a party of 3, less than 15 minutes. Yah!! Good selection of meats to grill and a few... appetizers offered. Everything was pretty good, once service started, our server came by pretty often and kept us informed ofwait times for certain foods or other suggestions for ordering. People came by and cleared plates pretty quickly as well. Ricecakes appetizers were a little hard and their tofu soup was watery and tomato-ey tasting but other than that everything was verygood!
