I haven't been to many spots but this place is my go to because of how chill the staff is and the food.I don't have a crazy craving for unique meats but I really like the marinated meats they had. I really appreciate that they include all the little side plates to pair the food with. At least from what an old friend taught me how to eat at KBBQ spots.Parking: They have a parking lot but it fills up quickly, ESPECIALLY after 4 pm weekdays. A lot of people J-walk across the street in the neighborhoods, but they will tell you to be respectful of their space because knowing the area, they will ask the city for permit only parking if it gets bad.

This place is awesome but very long wait. Service is always good and quality is great. If you are trying to come here in a weekend or Friday night you will likely have to wait 2 hours or more. I would recommend coming early dinner or lunch on a weekday. Price is fair for what you get.Vegetarian options: Don’t go here if you’re a vegetarian it’s probably a waste of money. It’s KBBQ so expect meats.

The place is very busy so I recommend making a reservation so as not to have too much time waiting for a place, from then on the atmosphere is very cool with a great variety of music that accompanies the most delicious dishes, the service is very good as well the customer service I highly recommendWheelchair accessibility: The place is located on the first floor which makes access easier for wheelchairs.

Everything about this place is perfect! The meat is delicious, the service is spectacular, and they even offer dessert! The only thing that is missing is the dumplings. But, I'm never going back to Gen ?

This place was great. Took the family for lunch and ordered alot!!! The server was gracious and patient with us . I like to order dessert before the meal and she did it after a little shock wore off so did the grans. The cook plate exchange was never too late and the fire wasn't turned down after I turned it up?. It was so good that even after the gratuity was added into the bill I left our server and additional tip. I would go there again.
TLDR; get on the wait list, 3+ hour wait ahead on Friday, limited parking. Slow service, but great food. I recommend if you have the time.An ALL MOST perfect KBBQ spot.The food is crazy good in quality and taste. The brisket, marinated pork ribs, and bulgogi are a must. The sides are plenty and vast with differnt tastes and flavor and ice cream.There are a couple of downsides to dinning in like the long wait and even longer service.Firstly, being on the yelp waitlist is a must. I signed up at 6pm and didn't get seated til 9:50pm, so be sure to wait (or arrive extra early) and get on the list. We went on a friday and left at 11:30pm when we finished.Secondly, the wait staff (they do their best) delay food and forget/ mix up order too frequently. Once is fine, but after that's just kinda sad when you receive a differnt meat, no side, and still waiting. (Side note, the loud music isn't making the atmosphere better, this may be the root of the mistaken orders).However, even after all that. I've never been happier with the food. A good spot, just needs to be faster. Solving the problem of not making people wait for meat would undoubtedly make outside wait times much quicker.Over all, really good. I'll be coming again but not on a weekend or friday for sure.Parking: Very small parking lot to the amount of people that can dine in. If you can't find parking, then go somewhere else. Wait at a park or street parking until space is available.
Good selection of meats, good quality. Fast efficient service. Went there for weekend lunch which has more extensive menu that week day lunch. I went on a Sunday, got in line to at 10:45am, doors open 11am. About 10 people in front of me in line at 10:45am.

Good food with great service. The biggest thing management could improve is the wait list - seems to be very particular and if they don't like your looks then you wait, and wait, and wait. Try it but really not worth all the waiting, better options available for the same price or cheaper.
