My photos will make sense I promise. Story time.
This was one of the most interesting dining experiences ever. This place has plenty of staff, people hustling but it was hard to tell who was being served.
First we got our pitcher of beer but with no cups. After asking for cups we were told they didn’t have any at the moment. That’s the first time I experienced that.
With food orders they were quick to take the order but the food came out slow (some dishes were forgotten) which doesn’t make sense because we the customers cook the meat. The food itself was good when we got it.
My advice: if you still choose to come here then bring your own cups
I had a great experience at Gen Korean BBQ House! The atmosphere was really nice and, unlike many other KBBQ places, the inside wasn't smoky at all - which made it so much more enjoyable. The quality of the meats was excellent, very fresh and delicious. I also want to give a special thank you to Gabriel B, the manager, for being so attentive and making sure everything went smoothly. Definitely a spot I'd recommend and will be coming back to!
While the servers were very nice, the service was terrible. It took us a couple of times flagging down servers, managers, or anyone who could take our order or even get us our final check. We had to get up and go to the front to pay. Additionally, the food was not good either. The meat looked old, the Korean fried chicken was cold, and a couple of times, the wrong meats were brought, or multiple orders of one meat came. I would skip this KBBQ until they figure out their issues.
Honestly, this place is a freaking joke. It takes absolutely ages to get Korean BBQ, meat - at least 30 minutes in between orders. However, they're pushing mediocre, filling appetizers and al carte cocktails quickly. Don't come here if you want actual Korean BBQ. Manna down the street is so much more worth it.
Our favorite Korean BBQ in San Diego. Food is consistently great. Service is phenomenal. Everyone is so friendly and helpful. Definitely one of our regular spots and will continue to come back w friends and family.
