Gen Korean BBQ House

This place is amazing. I came in the other day with my friend without a reservation. We still got the table right away. The food is good. Martelle is the one server that took care of our table. He recommended the premium menu which is so good. Would like to comeback and highly recommend Martelle to serve the table. He was outstanding and knowledgeable as a great server .

As someone from LA, I have eaten at 2 Gen locations and have never had any bad experiences. I decided to try out this Gen location. Located inside the Miracle Miles on Harmon Ave, I was very surprised to see how big this location is.I made a reservation here months in advance, we arrived 5 minutes before and had to wait at least 15-20 minutes extra. We came for dinner time. We were seated at a booth for me and my dad. The menu was a good selection of both sushi and kbbq. Service was a bit slow, but that's because they were busy. The food was good for the most part. I tried some of their rolls such as the king roll, spicy tuna, red dragon, and handrolls, and a few of me and my dad's favorite meat like brisket and bulgogi. Everything tasted good and I have no complaints about the food. This isn't my first Gen's visit, but it won't be my last either. I am happy to have found a location that serves both kbbq and sushi. I wish they had more spots like this in LA. If you're looking for a famous, well-known sushi and kbbq spot on the strip, Gen is your place. Gen's is very well known and has multiple locations across the 50 states. I would recommend checking out this spot at least once on your next Vegas trip!

My family and I stumbled upon Gen since we dropped the ball on making a reservation for anything else on our first night there and Gen was the few places that still had reservations available. The space is very big.We were hungry but not so hungry so we didn't do the all you can eat Korean BBQ. We had the all you can eat Izakaya and Sushi. I have to say the Izakaya is better than the Sushi. The standouts on the Izakaya menu were the spicy rice cakes, soondobu, gyoza, chicken, and fried rice. The sushi was mediocre at best, there was way too much rice in all the sushi and hand rolls we ordered. I would stick with the carpaccio. Our server was friendly and attentive. But overall, there are so many other better food options in Vegas.

Came here with my coworker! Good:- Lots of options for meats! We didn't even get to them all - The bulgogi and pork belly were my favorites! - Lots of seating and for seated right away - Attentive servers who swapped our grills often- Lots of Banchan, I liked the potato salad Bad:- Costly if you can't eat a ton. Overall fun experience and good place to catchup!

First let me start off with something good to say. The best thing I can recommend about Gen Korean BBQ is the staff. They are definitely efficient and helpful. Our server Cody was quick to serve and attentive. The ambience was lively, and it was clear people were enjoying their meal.But here's the thing, as a Korean American, I was embarrassed that this place is calling itself a Korean BBQ house. First to start, there were 4 sad banchan (side dishes), and then when they dropped off the dipping tray, for your meat, it was already a sign of the direction how the rest of the meal was going to go.If you don't know Korean BBQ, it should be all about the simplicity of the grilled meat, with salt & pepper, Sesame Oil, and ssamjang (red chili paste/fermented bean paste - trust me a delicious Korean dip). We did not get sesame oil, it's some kind of cheap substitute oil, looking more like canola oil. Next the meat and grilling experience, we didn't get a piece of lard to grease the pan, so the bulgogi we started grilling, just stuck and burned to the pan. I thought the bulgogi would be fatty enough that it wouldn't be a problem, but it still got stuck. It wasn't due to the heat, because it was low. Any lower and it would be off.In a lot of cases, the meat quality wasn't there, with probably the premium meat ribeye being the best. One other note, we had to ask for Tongs to flip the meat and the scissors to cut the meat were so dull, it was almost worthless. The vent pipe was not working, as smoke from the grilled meat was still around us. It was low to the meat, but not sucking in the smoke. We ordered the gyoza -- which seems off, like just call it Mandu, the Korean name, instead of a Japanese name if you're going to call yourself a Korean BBQ -- and it was not visually appealing. It looked like it was just tossed into an air fryer. At least get the bibigo frozen mandu and throw it into an oil fryer. You could order unlimited meat, but be careful, as they will charge you $5 for every untouched meat refill. There was no soft steamed egg, no lettuce for wraps, no onions, mushrooms or garlic to grill either.All of this led to a less than satisfying experience.Having said this, if you don't know good Korean BBQ, then I can see how you might be blown away. It can be a fun experience, and like I said a lot of folks seemed to be enjoying their dinner. For this reason, I'm giving it just 3 stars. The restaurant chain may vary by location, and some may be better than others, but it's doubtful I will ever go back to this chain restaurant.

My group came in on a Tuesday around 1pm. The restaurant was about 20% full. We did the lowest tier. After tax and before tip it's about $39 a person. Lots of variety. Service was friendly and quick. Some of the meats were chewy like the beef so I would stay clear from that. The texture of the shrimps were soft rather than firm so it was not for me.

We came here again with a big group and experience was still very good. Some really good Korean bbq for a decent price

Way to step up your game, Gen K-BBQ! Despite being short staffed this afternoon, everyone pitched in to get orders out and customers in. Food was very flavorful and meat well marinated. Today we tried the Premium menu addition for the first time and we were happy with the offerings especially the Wagyu Premium Brisket (unlimited), and the Premium Marbling Center Cut Marinated Short Rib (2 orders per person - although we would have loved for this item to be unlimited as well). But even if you don't want to add the Premium menu, their regular menu is pretty stacked with great meats i.e. filet mignon, galbi, spicy pork belly, ribeye steak, etc... definitely our go to place when on the Strip for an event.

Foods are good. Great price. Service is okay. The server missed one of our orders and we have to ask her to place it again.This place is restaurant in the front and bar in the back. Pretty nice place.

Me and my BFF were walking the strip when we came across Gen. We arrived just as they were opening and were the first customers for the day. We were both surprised how much food we got for $35. We were both already hungry but we were not able to finish it all, even if we tried. I'm from Hawaii and haven't made it to the Gen on Oahu so am so glad I finally made it to one! Would definitely go to a Gen again!
