Good selection of beef and chicken and pork. The steak is nice and tender, the beef bulgogi has good flavor, the brisket was good but just a little bit fatty. The Cajun shrimp is deliciously seasoned and not spicy at all. There is only one dinner menu as opposed to some other kbbq joints that have 2 or 3 menu choices. Dinner is very well priced, borderline cheaply priced, for the variety and quality of the meats. They also have the sweet and spicy popcorn chicken which was one of my personal favorites, and fried calamari. They offer different beers on tap as well as bottles beer, wine, soju, and sake. Eriq our server was attentive, made suggestions and had a short conversation with us. His partner Lee was very quick to clear away any dirty plates and was also very attentive in getting us extra napkins, condiments, water and more popcorn chicken. The music they play is up to date and the decor is sleek and trendy giving the place a nightclub like feel. My only complaint is that our particular grill did not get quite hot enough. It took a little longer than I like to cook the thick steaks. Other than that it was an enjoyable meal.

Went here on a weekday for dinner and there was plenty of free parking . For our first orders they gave pretty small portions of food, mind you we all came from work and was starving . It did take a bit to get our next orders to the table . I think also it was around dinner time , and all the other diners all came the same time . Our waiter Jae was pretty awesome , he was able to deliver what we requested . A few things to maybe work on would be the floor its super slippery. I think its from the oil drippings when they change grills . Second when you have a party of 8 or more please increase the meats and side dishes that your bring out to the table . So we dont have to keep chasing the waiters down . We had to keep asking for more rice paper, radish, kimchi ect . kinda felt bad for Jae . Since every time he passed by we called him back for a refill. Other than that I think of all the Gen locations I will frequent the most .

All you can eat korean bbq within a 2 hour limit. $16 per person for lunch and $21 per person for dinner. Lunch menu has 28 items to choose from while dinner has 37. Even though they only let you order 4 small servings, the service is super quick and reliable that it doesnt matter much. They also change out your grill constantly so that the residue doesnt smoke and burn in your face. The food is great for the price point with certain items being far superior than others (we particularly liked the hawaiian steak). The korean bbq staples are all good too albeit quite fatty (expected and easily removed). Overall, Gen has a really nice all-you-can-eat korean bbq format with excellent service. Its not outstanding, but it is above average. The only complaint I have is that the floor is super slippery because of oil splatters from the grills. But thats kinda to be expected when you have a full house grilling at the same time.

Paid $70+ for lunch for me and my three children, one who is 5 years old and only ate white rice. I am not a fan of this type of food, nor the "cook it yourself" thing. We wanted to try something new and saw this place, it has great reviews and decided to check it out, but this was a huge mistake. The waitress tried to offer some suggestions, but I am not fond of tough steak and fatty dark meat chicken at any restaurant. We had one "round" of meat (4 selections, all unappetizing) and I explained to her that this was not our cup of tea. She brought the bill for full price anyway. Needless to say, she got no tip. It wasnt a reflection of her service, but rather the high price of trying something new and being very disappointed. This place is getting great reviews so I guess if you like Korean BBQ, go for it. But be prepared to pay the inflated price. We ended up at Jack in the Box because everyone was still hungry :(

I am sorry to say that Ive been wanting to try this place for so long but ended up so disappointed. Meat quality was questionable. Forget about pinkish meat, they were dark brown, no sign of freshness. The flavor of the marinated ones were way too sweet. Its almost as if they were covering the quality with tons of sugar. The grill had to be changed every time we cooked a different meal because it would burned up too fast. The steamed egg was a sad tinny tin foil with a loose cover that it took forever to cook (they bring it to you raw and its supposed to cook on the grill but since they had to change the grill so often, we never got to eat it). Service was not too bad but we did have to ask for sesame oil, soy bean paste and napkins more than once before they were brought to us. I hope they improve; otherwise Wang Cho will continue to be our choice for Korean BBQ in the area.

I kept trying to give this location a chance! This was my 3rd time here!! I do not understand why management either cuts the floor or understaff. We literally would ask for something and have to WAIT 10-15 min for it (fork extra napkins water) The walls are always dirty in the small booths i bought wipes bevause the table is alwaya sticky the window seals are filled with dust....just disgusting they had one waiter on 5 tables! Then the power went of yes in the middle of our dinner just shuts off....they apologized for the inconvenience and that was all....so i waited to see if they would comp a drink offer dessert on the house NOTHING!!!! So i had to ask the manager she said yes but had to say We had no control over the lights going off...had to leave her two cents....so that will be my LAST time there!!!!

Sorry, no... I wont be back here. 1, no soy sauce? I know a lot of people DONT use it. But I do, Im sure there are a few people that do. They really didnt try hard to accommodate me 2, no steamed egg? What?! I have to make it myself on the grill and inconvenience my friends because Im the only one that wants 2 stinkin egg? 3, woooooowwwww the grills , despite their neat ventilation system, seemed to take 3 times as long to cook anything!! I got full after 2 orders because I was eating so slow and stuffed myself with rice and lettuce. Their rice paper is VERY sticky and hard to peel. On the plus side, everything is new, and the decor is fancy. Dont come here if youre starving. It takes way too long, even on a slow day and time.

Fast and great service for all you can eat. Went by 5 for dinner - $20.99 per person. Youre able to order 4 meats at a time. They provide simple side dishes - kimchi, pickled radish, potato salad. Their pork cheek is our favorite. Garlic pork belly is well seasoned but a little salty. Marinated short rib (galbi) comes with 2 slices an order. Their dengjang jjigae (vegetable bean paste soup) takes about 10 minutes to come out and was under seasoned. We had Edmond as our server and he was amazing. Very professional and provided excellent customer service.
