Reviews for Gen Korean BBQ House in San Jose, CA
Overall the food was decent. It is definitely not a 5 star restaurant, if you've never had Korean BBQ before than it's worth to... go at least once, but its not something I'd recommend more than once a month. If youre not sure how this place works, it startswhen you pick four dishes to bring out and cook. After those four you can pick another four to cook and eat, most of the food israw and youre tasked with the job of cooking it yourself in the center grill of your table. You can pick an unlimited amount ofdishes to bring out, but only four at a time. To get the most value out of this place you would need to eat as much as you can,like a buffet. The food was alright, if there was more seasoning on the meats it would have been better. Read more
Awesome place. Good food. Worth the price. Friendly service. Tyson was our waiter and he did good???????? Would so go back here... and I recommend it. The wait is worth it. We waited in line to be seated but they text you and call out for you to be seatedwhich is good. Parking is good and free. Read more
I visited with a group of 7 on a very busy night, and waiters/staff were very friendly and attentive. This was my first time... visiting this restaurant and it was a fun experience as well as delicious food. Read more
One of the better Korean BBQ spots I've been to. I've been to other Gen's, but this is probably my favorite. The restaurant... itself is very large, and there is a huge parking lot so you will always find a spot. Came here on a Saturday night and wasexpecting to have to wait a long time, but as soon as we got inside we were told that there was no wait. We just have to haveour entire party present before being seated. Their menu is pretty extensive, so everyone in your party will probably findsomething that they want/like. Food came out pretty quickly after ordering so our table was never empty. We had two servers,because one was going on break but they were both very attentive and nice. Some of my favorite things are probably brisket andfinger short ribs. We were able to order all of the appetizers, but we're told that sometimes they run out so we were lucky thatday. They have rice paper available and of course my favorite banchan potato salad!! Pro tip, get the ssamjang!! It's so good. Read more
Always an enjoyable experience with friends or family and very affordable. I've gone multiple times with groups of 2-8 and never... once have we've been able to hit the order limit. Staff is attentive and quick and meat is fresh and delicious. Read more
This place never gets old. All you can eat for 2hrs(meat lovers). The price is reasonable & service was good. Unfortunately... Covid has made some changes, if you don't finish your meats, $5 for every plate that not finished. Make sure to eat it all Read more
Our waitress Jennifer was very sweet and amazing. She was able to cater to our needs and was very kind and friendly. When we do... come back, we hope to see her again! Read more
Went here with a friend and we ate quite a lot. Service was moderate , wish it was faster. They forgot to fulfill an extra shot... glass until we reminded them. Four servings were served at a time. Each serving is quite tiny. Overall fair price and very busyfor a Sunday dinner. Read more
