    I loved the Cajun shrimp my favorite thing from this place. I didn't care for the dark lighting it makes the place feel dated. Our waiter was very attentive and helpful. The was good just good

    The Food is amazing and they have this new premium selection. Taco’s! But the wait is very long, even when it’s empty you’re waiting 5-10 minutes and when it’s busy it’s going to be a hour. Worth tbh

    Caught them on their soft opening. Food was tasty, fresh, and did not disappoint at all. Service was excellent. Our waiter Sam was super attentive and accommodating. 2 thumbs up! Grand opening Aug 22!

    Usually at Korean BBQ joints, there's a large selection of "fresh" meats. At Gen, there's more marinated meats so I question the quality of the meat. And some of the marinades are off putting. :-X

    The glass noodles are great. The floor was exceptionally slippery with oil that spread over the entire floor. I'm guessing w/the oil in the air from the table cooking.

    Definitely worth more than the $20! Soju also delicious. Service was good today but then again it was my friend's friend serving us.

    To long of a wait to get in no place is worth more than a 20 minute wait
