    Excellent dinning experience. A plethora of all kinds of meats and food to grill to your liking. Lots of different condiments to try. Nice and responsive staff. Definitely demands a return soon!

    We had the best time! This was our first time to a Korean BBQ and it was great! We went around 12:30 on a Saturday and were seated right away. The table and seating was comfortable. The hostess and waiter both explained the menu very well. We opted to try the premium option. And the total ended up being a little more than $100 for two people plus tip. It's unlimited food for 2 hours. Everything was great!! I have zero complaints the wait staff was very friendly and the flavor of all the food was great. I can't wait to go back

    This is a restaurant in my first visit. I've been to several grid barbecue restaurants in this little different. Other restaurants there was a bar filled many types of meat, seafood, vegetables, etc., that you will select from and bring back to your table to prepare on the grill. Here you select the meat from a menu in which they served the meat from to the table. There are so many options. For a set price it's all you can eat, which includes cooked appetizers and meat selections. The quality of the food and service was great. The restaurant is dimly lit, clean and lightly decorated. Good dining experience.

    This is our 4th time coming and the waiter Elijah has been one of the best and stands out. We have had a few not so great waiters here but everytime it's Elijah , it has been great. He is always helpful and attentive. He has made our time here worth coming back to and we enjoy our time here. The food has always been very delicious and we recieve our food pretty quickly. I reccomend for sure!

    SOFT OPENING REVIEW: GEN KOREAN BBQ IN EL PASO We finally tried Gen KBBQ during their soft opening -- and here's everything you need to know before you go: Pricing Lunch AYCE (Monday-Thursday until 3PM): $20.95 (34 items) Dinner AYCE (after 3PM, weekends, and holidays): $31.95 (47 items) Premium AYCE: Add $20 for wagyu, short ribs, and other upgraded cuts Our total for two with Premium and appetizers came out to $118 -- well worth it for the amount and quality of food. There's a 2-hour limit per table, and everyone must order from the same menu tier. It's fair and helps keep things moving for other diners. What We Loved Chadol (brisket) Pork Jowl Wagyu Sweet Garlic Short Ribs Beef Belly and Short Plate The sweet garlic marinade paired with the sesame soy dipping sauce was absolutely delicious. There were no rice paper wraps (due to supply issues), but the pickled radish worked just fine. We also missed the steamed egg -- likely removed due to high egg prices, which is understandable. Service The staff was friendly and attentive. Most of them were corporate trainers, but they're actively working to train local hires. Our grill's heat kept fluctuating throughout the meal, likely due to insufficient gas pressure to supply all the tables. Some of our meats didn't get as crispy as we would have liked, but the staff was very responsive and comped our drinks as a courtesy. The soju was refreshing and paired really well with the grilled meats -- definitely recommend it. As someone who's missed Korean BBQ from Southern California and other big cities, I'm genuinely excited to have a place like this in El Paso. If they can maintain the quality and work out the kinks, I can see Gen becoming a local favorite in no time. Location: 1319-I George Dieter Dr, El Paso, TX 79936

    So my wife and I had just returned from LV and visited this restaurant up there and enjoyed it so we anticipated the locale here. Our son even asked if we were going to the soft opening but due to work we didn't make it until I returned. We went during lunch and it wasn't crazy packed, we were quickly seated and since we knew how it worked we were eager to eat. We had a great team of servers taking care of us and they made sure we never lacked drinks, food condiments or protein and it was so so good. We ate till we couldn't eat and rolled out of there so content. We highly recommend this restaurant and hopefully you experience great service as well. Our server informed us he is from Jacksonville Florida and was here training and we informed him we are traveling to Orlando soon so maybe we are him down there as well.

    Love this place. We have them back in Los Angeles. This one has pastor and asada which we don't have. Need a bigger sign or billboard so people know where they are at...

    Everything was great! The server was super helpful and let us know beforehand what they were short of! We went on a busy Sunday after new years so it made sense they were sold out of stuff. He guided us with other options and we loved everything! The food is always delicious here, I reccomend getting some radish wraps and samjaang for your meat!!!

    My family and I are visiting from California. We've eaten at other Gen Korean BBQ locations and were excited to try this one. I didn't realize we ended the soft opening, but it was a great experience. Our waiter was very attentive, the meat portion sizes were big, and all the food came out in a timely manner. My parents said this was the best Gen they've been to, so it's safe to say we had an enjoyable experience. The ambiance gives a nightclub environment, but it's clean and very spacious. I hope this location has a fantastic opening day!

Everything was super tasty highly highly recommend the kimchi pancake. Flavor was spectacular and perfectly crispy/crunchy. The squid entree was very tasty too just a little too many peppers for me. Would get again if I didn't want to try other things. Value is really great for how much food I got. Yes we really over ordered (2 apps 2 entrees for 2 people) but still all the plates were big. Perhaps only downside is that the dining area is pretty small. I would expect them to outgrow their little storefront quickly. I'd come back next time I travel to El Paso.

It was a bit uncomfortable with how loud it was and sitting next to strangers not being able to have a comfortable conversation with the person in front of you. The food was really good! I enjoyed the tteokbokki so much and I feel like as simple as this dish is, a lot of places sometimes miss. Again I know it isn't their fault maybe the day I came in it was really busy and maybe it's not that busy usually but I would have liked to be in a bigger space.

The brisket was perfect with a great salt and pepper bark, juice meat with some great marbling. The Habanero sausage was pretty mild but had just a little kick while allowing the fruity notes of the habanero come through. The sides were also excellent as was the complementary corn bread. This is the barbecue that does not need the sauce it's that good! Service was really good. Considering what they are doing here with regards to helping homeless people get back on their feet it was excellent service. The staff are all polite and friendly and all seem to be happy to be there. The decor is pleasant with lots of pictures and decorations like the wooden Stars and Stripes flag, longhorn horns and a mounted pheasant. If you are in El Paso and looking for great BBQ. I highly recommend you try this place out.

Thick slices with a beautiful smoke ring, deep flavor, and that perfect balance of tenderness and structure. It was juicy without being greasy, and the bark had just the right bite. The brisket sandwich was equally satisfying. Simple, honest, and generous, with crisp onions and a soft bun that let the meat shine. The ribs had great flavor, but were a bit on the dry side during this visit. Still enjoyable, but the brisket definitely stole the show. Sides were a mix. The green beans were outstanding. Easily some of the best I've had at a barbecue spot. Full of flavor and clearly cooked with care. The beans and cornbread were solid and comforting. The coleslaw, though, didn't quite stand out and was the only item I'd probably skip next time. The space itself adds to the experience. Open, casual, and unpretentious. It feels like a place focused on doing barbecue right rather than trying to be trendy. FYI: You order first & they bring out the food to you. Overall, Hallelujah BBQ is absolutely worth visiting, especially for the brisket and those green beans. I'll definitely be back.

As a regular meat eater, it's not necessarily the type of restaurant I would be attracted to but the service & meal was very pleasant. Jake was on point with his service & recommended the daily specials - which included the "meat"ball sub sandwich with salad. I also opted in for the Mac & Cheese appetizer because it sounded great. Ordered a manzanita drink (drink selection is a little different than many other restaurants). The Mac & Cheese appetizer was delicious! Actually, my favorite part of the meal! The sub sandwich came with a simple green salad that was a nice combo. The sandwich bread was soft & warm and included meatballs covered in sauce & melted cheese. Not bad at all but due to my own personal preference the meatballs weren't my personal favorite. In the future, I think I'll lean toward options that don't feature "meat" because of my preference but for those who look for or prefer vegan options, go visit Jake & check out this new downtown El Paso eatery!
