Food was delicious, service was immaculate. Our server was really attentive and grilled the meat for us. Kalbi was tender and flavorful, vegetable soondubu was just the right amount of spice. Overall really friendly staff and amazing

Pros: Quality of the food was good.Cons: Pricey. Also, a lot of reviews mentioned the copious variety of side dishes…and yes, there is a large variety, but perhaps as a result, these portions were ridiculously minuscule- literally bite-sized! Additionally, and maybe this isn’t a fair criticism, but for a restaurant with round shaped grills, the fact that they haven’t incorporated a circular lazy-susan for the sides is almost inexplicable as we had to constantly pass the teeny little dishes back and forth across the table.

Cannot believe they charge us 53 dlrs on tips my plate wasn’t even that expensive but the tips were been to other Korean bbq a lot better and not that price better quality!!
The price is overpriced and the food is not good as its price. One kid and two adults ordered a prime marinated rib, a beef brisket, and a vegetable bibimbap, a cup of super light yellow tea, which totally charged us $200. To be honest, we tried many different Korean & Japanese bbq restaurants. But this restaurant has wonderful service but not good quality food as same as its price. Just like all you can eat regular Korean bbq restaurant but, they only charge you $30-40/ person, and kid has half price of the food. I won't come back to try this one again! Btw, I paid self-parking fee $7.

I liked this location compare to others. It's nice open and bright inside restaurants. Staffs are very helpful giving advice as we ordered for group people. Food taste good. I like so many small appetizers (panchan? ) overall good experience

I've been to several Korean bbq restaurants in other states, NY, Las Vegas, Texas... But this is by far the best one, the employees were all korean (you know it's going to be good), very attentive and caretaking, the food was sooooo tasty.

When did they start overcharging for rice and veggies? This is the most expensive Korean place I have ever been to: $55 for a regular bowl of vegetarian bibimbap. We order two plates that came out to $162! The place was empty and dark when we arrived and I can see why. Nothing even close luxury fine dining. The quality and quantity of food did not match the price tag. The service was ok but you can get cheaper and better Korean BBQ in Ktown.
Food quality is very good but very small portions for combo E ($395 plus tax plus 20 % mandatory gratuity plus $7 valet =$520). Definitely not worth the money you pay for. You will definitely find a better deal with similar quality of meat in Korea Town. I only saw 2 table with customers on Saturday night. Only positive was a great service by two ladies.

Love the decor and ambiance here. Meat quality is good but my favourite are the free unlimited small side dishes. I've never seen this many variations of the free unlimited small side dishes. It's pricey here but I had a great experience and the food was great.

The service and hospitality @ this location far exceeds other Genwa locations I have dined at. They are generous and attentive to special requests. The quality of meat is above par; lean, tender, richly marinated cuts of beef with a plethora of kimchi and other Korean sides that accompany a delicious meal including decadent silken tofu soup! The restaurant is clean, well maintained and the lighting is perfect for a date! Definitely @ the top of my list of favorites for the BEST Korean BBQ! It's on the pricier side of the spectrum as far as Korean BBQ cuisine but certainly worth its value! You get what you pay for when it comes to dining out!As far as parking, there is paid Valet immediately in front, metered street parking along La Cienega Blvd or free 1 to 2 hour parking around the neighborhood if you don't mind walking 2 mins to the restaurant.

I always judge Korean restaurants on their kimchi and side dishes. Genwa is exceptional! The variety and quality of the side dishes were an absolute treat and almost upstaged the Kalbi. This is the best Korean BBQ experience I have had outside of Korea.

The best of the best Korean cuisines in Los Angeles you can find. It is frequently visited by K-wave celebrities who seek the most exquisite Korean bbq dining experience. After I heard Minari movie crew came here for dining, I tried it with my fam and it became my choice of Korean bbq.No other Korean bbq restaurant comes closer if you want the best.
