Food was great and Selena was a great server, quick and attentive. Place was clean as well

First time at this location, we usually dine at the one in Honolulu @ the Ala Moana shopping center. We were actually trying to go to the one in Downtown Summerlin, but it closed years ago, we've never been there either, but since we were set on KBBQ, and didn't want to wait at our usual places, we came here. There was not a wait, we were sat immediately as restaurant was not even crowded at 130p, maybe 4 tables were being used. That was to change in an hour.... One thing we noticed was that there were a few menu differences. Notably, no sushi rolls at this location. Less meat options, but still got what we wanted. Waitress noted that they had hotteok, which we never had before. Everything was good and we were satisfied. I did notice that ramyun was ala carte. The pork belly, Hawaiian bacon and pork chop were nice portion. Very tasty too. Honey garlic beef belly was very good. First time try the soondubu. That was also tasty. The only issue we had that was little uncomfortable, was I was getting hot and sweaty like never before. I don't get meat sweats, and I did not have my potable fan. I mentioned to the waitress and she said they were having an issue with the AC. It was being worked on so hopefully next time it will be fixed. It was a great meal. read more

Decided to get kbbq on a random weekday night after work. Decided to come here because it was just down the street. It was about 830 pm. Looks like any other Gen I've been to but with no wait. Love that there was a light over our table so we could see our food. And the vents on the side of the grill actually worked. I didn't smell like meat afterwards. I guess kbbq is more popular in California than Vegas because there was no wait what so ever. I'm not complaining. Even this late we'd have to wait about 30-45 min. Got sat right away, drink came out fast and so did the meats. Great selection for the price. I've only been to Gen in California but I love that they're consistent throughout their chains. Server was super nice and attentive. I love that you can get tortillas with your order. Only complaint is that the brisket can be a little dry cuz there isn't enough fat but I'm still gonna order it . Beef belly is on point and the carne asada and Al pastor were a big surprise for me. read more

This is typically our go-to Korean BBQ spot in town! I'm so glad that they opened a few years ago because we used to have to drive to SoCal to eat at Gen! It is all-you-can-eat and extremely affordable. Everything on the menu is included except for drinks, dessert, and marked premium items. If you come on a weekday, there's typically zero wait, and it does get busier on weekends, especially Saturdays. My favorites here are the premium steak, bulgogi, sliced brisket, and japchae. Definitely get those when you come! read more

The first time we came here, we had service that was not too fantastic. We came back because of the food being soooo good. We were able to make a reservation the same day we wanted to eat there. It took a few times and a different phone number to reach them, but alas we did. We came in, gave our name and were seated right away! Nico was a superstar and served our crazy, and somewhat rowdy, group with a smile. We all had a beer and soju, and my side of the table got plenty of garlic beef belly!! We had some appetizers as well and they were absolutely delicious. For 9 of us, the bill was around $500 including gratuity for 6+ ppl. Not too bad!! Thank you sooo much Nico and crew! read more

I absolutely love korean bbq I eat so much its usually the first time I food I suggest whenever going out. I would never recommend this place. I love kimchi fried rice, this korean fried rice was absolutely terrible, the rice was so soggy, and had literally no flavor. It tasted like the just poured ketchup on the top of over cooked too much water rice. The korean fried chicken is nothing like korean fried chicken. It doesn't even taste fried it tastes like they put premade frozen chicken into an oven, and then put sweet and sour sauce on it. Ontop of all of this they are blasting club music. WHY?!?!? I GET THAT EVERYWHERE PLAYS MUSIV 24/7 NOW BUT WHY ARE YOU BLASTING IT I'M JUST TRYING TO ENJOY A MEAL. The meat was fine if you find yourself stuck eating here know that at least the meat is kinda decent. The service was ok no issues with the staff. read more

Gen Korean BBQ House - Bad food - Korean Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

I've passed GEN Korean BBQ almost every day on my way to work, so we finally decided to give it a shot. We came in during lunchtime on a weekend, but since it was the weekend, you're required to choose the dinner option even if you're there midday. Everyone we interacted with was very nice. The host, our waitress, and even the manager were friendly. Unfortunately, the service itself was very slow. We waited quite a while just to get orders taken and when we asked about missing items, orders would be re-entered and duplicated instead of resolved which added to the confusion and delay. As for the food, it was a mixed bag. There were definitely some hits with the meats, but there were also plenty of misses. At most KBBQ spots, the appetizers, meats, and entrées are usually consistently solid. Here, the appetizers were honestly the biggest letdown. Several were not just underwhelming, but downright bad. The soup I ordered was completely flavorless, the calamari rings were overly burned, and the fried shrimp was a huge disappointment. It's also worth noting that this place is probably not as busy as other spots and there is plenty of seating. They also play club music which can be a pro or a con depending on what you prefer. Overall, between the slow service and inconsistent food quality especially the poor appetizers- we probably wouldn't come back. It wasn't a terrible experience, but it didn't live up to expectations, especially for the price. read more

I had a great meal here and would definitely go back. Went to celebrate a birthday and our party of 4 all enjoyed our dinner. We decided on the $30.99 Dinner tier, which I believe is the pricing in the middle, I know it wasn't the Premium; it worked perfectly for our group. Our server was Steph and she was wonderful- upbeat and attentive. We enjoyed the various meats, especially the Gen Premium Steak and the Chadol, thinly sliced brisket. The Fried Mandu (dumpling) was delish and the Japchae was good. The Soondooboo Soup had great flavors- spicy tofu with veggies. I also liked that besides steamed white rice, there was Kimchi Fried Rice, Rice Paper, and Radish Paper. We had the Lychee Soju which we all enjoyed. Most AYCE BBQ places have a dessert included, usually ice cream. They did have dessert for a price- Macaron Ice Cream for $3.75. I had the Green Tea flavor and it's worth it! Although I personally think they should still offer some kind of dessert that's included, lol. There wasn't a wait when we went at 5:30pm on a Thursday. Lots of parking available. read more

Customer service begins from the top!!! I just left an amazing review for the location on the strip. It was soooo good we decided to dine again!! When I say first impressions are everything..... they truly are! After having Steve as a server, being greeted quickly and having top notch service.. this experience fell flat on its face! Walking in with a party of 6 on a pretty dead Sunday. We had five employees within eye sight of us and weren't greeted for far longer than five minutes. When we were greeted we were told we'd be seated shortly and we were asking ourselves if the server was coming back close to five minutes later. When we were seated, and began ordering the Server Roly couldn't answer questions, didn't know if items were on the menu, our service took so long we had to keep asking for items to be brought to our table like kimchi, or drinks which if you asked for sprite you got coke, if you asked for water or daikon paper you had to ask REPEATEDLY over 20 to 30 minute period. At one point I asked Roly if he worked here, he didn't seem present, wasn't knowledgeable of the menu, and couldn't bring simple items to the table. No pictures were taken of the late lunch/early dinner. It was that chaotic and a complete MANAGEMENT MESS! Training starts at the top. The store was not as clean, the employees were not as trained, simple misses like empty toothpick holders on the front counter and not greeting customers are huge turn offs when dining. It usually means the mark is going to be missed and it was in the biggest way!!! On the strip during a PACKED house our raw meat dishes, straw wrappers and anything else that needed to be cleared off the table were cleared, reorganized and removed almost immediately (which I do not expect) and all done quietly but it made a very loud statement to attention to detail and phenomenal service. At this location our raw meat plates were left quite a long time, service was beyond slow, restaurant was empty, and it appeared as though our server didn't care about his service, us, or the establishment!! Make a new position for Steve from the Strip. Send Steve out to train managers and servers on SIMPLE details that mean the world in customer service... I rarely leave "bad" reviews but definitely believe in being honest. Would I return: Yes, Not to this location! read more

Service - there is only one server Being host, busser, and server, she looked up at me and my guest. Never been acknowledged. At first I thought she said hello to me. But she didn't. I love the food at gen, but I'd recommend training staff to provide better customer service. I had to walk in the back to find someone to talk to. Two other customers left as well as I told them they have only one staff and we were just waiting there. I don't want to make this review all negative but I believe in good customer service I also spoke to Ana who said she will talk to the "staff" but I couldn't get her name. But The Day I came to restaurant was on Wednesday 11/26/2025 at 1:12pm. There's only one girl working there so if restaurant owner sees this, please let them know how important customer service is. I will come to visit another time but today was very disappointing Ambiance is loud but it's ok. read more

It's a bit disappointing when there are restaurants that have been in business for years and there's been a change with management. This is one of those places. They used to have a location in Galleria Mall, and it was one of my favorite Korean bbq spots at the time. We arrived on a Saturday around 4:30pm. There were a good amount of people, but not super busy. The place has plenty of seating, but it also looks like this place is understaffed. We weren't given any menus because there's a QR code we can scan to view the menus. I am not a big fan of viewing menus from your phone because you lose connection sometimes and it's not always easy and convenient to view a menu through a small screen. We were a party of 4, and the server said we can only choose 4 meats and 4 appetizers at a time... which basically meant 1 order per person each round for us. This would have been fine if service wasn't slow. We had to call the servers multiple times to follow up with our orders and had to remind them of grill changes. The service could have been better. Also, Gen used to have macaron ice cream sandwiches. They have a freezer up front with macaron ice cream images around the freezer, but no macaron ice cream sandwiches, which was completely misleading and disappointing. The food was good though. They're served in small portions so you can try more things if you like. Overall this place was ok, but there are better managed Korean bbq places around. read more

Gen Korean BBQ House - galbi - Korean Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

From the moment we walked in, we were impressed. The restaurant has such a warm, modern atmosphere with beautiful décor that feels both upscale and inviting. Everything was spotless, the tables were well organized, and the ambiance made it the perfect place to enjoy a relaxing meal. The staff truly made the experience exceptional. Everyone was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and attentive without ever feeling overbearing. They were happy to explain the menu, checked on us regularly, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the meal. The level of hospitality was outstanding. The quality of the meat was phenomenal. Every cut was fresh, beautifully marbled, tender, and packed with flavor. You could really tell they use high-quality ingredients. Grilling everything at the table made the experience even more fun, and each bite was juicy and delicious. The side dishes were just as impressive. There was a wonderful variety of fresh, flavorful banchan that complemented the barbecue perfectly. Every refill came out fresh, and we loved trying all the different flavors alongside the meat. What surprised us most was how reasonable the pricing was considering the quality of the food, generous portions, and exceptional service. It offers fantastic value for the experience you receive. Overall, this was one of the best Korean BBQ experiences we've had. Amazing food, beautiful décor, outstanding service, high-quality meats, delicious sides, and excellent value. We'll definitely be coming back and highly recommend it to anyone looking for an authentic and memorable Korean BBQ experience. Five stars all around! Z, Oscar, Jimmmy were awesome!!!! read more

So so I've been to about 7-8 of these bbq restaurants and this one is just so so. Our waiter was great. Sorry for not much more descrip read more

We loved gen prior to moving to Vegas. It was the peak of ayce kbbq in California and Oregon due to the lack of options. But here we are in Vegas where they are outnumbered and outperformed. Gen was kind of disappointing compared to the likes of master Kim, doma etc. We got the dinner option since it was the weekend of $30 each but here's the pro tip: you can get $100 gen gift cards at Sam's club for $80 to make it $24 so very good price. But the pork had a bad taste. For the beef I liked the steak, it was more like a picanha steak. The appetizers were ok, not outstanding. Don't order the fish katsu, it's just a frozen fish fillet. The kfc also had too much breading. Might still go to the ones in California and Oregon but not in Vegas. read more

Service overall was friendly but they did feel overwhelmed. They were very diligent about changing out our grill and checking in if our meat was delivered. As for the food, our favorite was the red wine marinated pork which was a revelation. As opposed to other KBBQ places, they give you robust cuts at an affordable price. You do a limit per order per table. As for the apps, the pancakes were sensational but the cheese tonkotsu was disappointing. For a budget option, this place is a good one to try out. The restaurant itself was very clean and well maintained including the grill tables. read more

Good Kbbq spot to dine in. Came here for dinner on a weekday and it was a bit busy. Menu is certainly a lot to look at but was glad their Steak and Short Ribs were AYCE (usually I've seen it limit 1 per person). Recommend looking at their options ahead of time since it's only their a QR code, no physical menus. Unfortunately their desserts is Ala carte and some of their appetizers were out but the meat overall was really good. It seems they are pretty short staffed during our time as we seen only a couple servers and host try to serve the entire restaurant so service took a bit longer and things were forgotten in the making but staff itself are really nice just have to be patient. read more

The people here are very nice. I had a group of 5 with me that were new to the KB concept. It wasn't that busy but a group of 25 entered right before us. They warned us service might be impacted. The only downside to that was that we literally forgot what we had ordered and then ordered more. And they had a new bartender that was having trouble with our mocktail orders. I find it difficult to remember the dinner option of 4from this column, - of these from this one, 2 of these. I would love to see them write that down. Or use tablets to let us order and keep track. The food was good and presented well. Overall a good experience. read more

Food was good, the Hawaiian steak and beef bulgogi was my wife's favorite, the server seemed kind of quiet and offered the premium experience for an additional $20, but being our first time we wanted to try the basic first since there were a lot of options already, the server insisted we do the premium but we didn't want to spend extra the first visit in to try the average entrees initially, he seemed to not be as present with us after we declined. Dessert wasn't even offered to us and the check brought once we said we were done ordering more entrees... I felt less like a customer cause we didn't choose the premium experience. The ambience was an interesting vibe like a night club but I feel the guest should be able to decide what tier of food expense they want to pick without feeling less important read more

Love the food here. But why must the service be so damn bad. Used to love coming to this place but now it breaks my heart that I can't because of the service. Looks like it's short staffed and just not enough servers for the traffic of guests. So disappointing. read more

We love the Gen korean bbq, but they already closed our usual branch at the Galleria Mall. Went almost dinner time but perfect to be seated right away. This branch looks bigger than the one in Sunset. Service was a little slower though. Like we're already done before our next order came. We even followed up 3x. But not complaining, we came for the food and fun of grilling. read more

Service was great everyone was very attentive and with a smile. This is our first time here and we got gift cards for this place. So this was our first time here. We were very hungry but the Halloween decors made us hesitant to come in. We had to ask for the sauces and the banchan and it arrived eventually. Good: double dragon, cheese tonkatsu, salad and the tofu soup (spicy). Not to our liking: the meats had lots of tough parts, even the corn cheese didn't have any taste. The sauces didn't taste good as well. The place is spacious and clean. When we asked for dessert- even the server was not too sure or didn't want it. He also mentioned Melona ice cream with additional $2 per. So we skipped the dessert. We had 3 more of the gift cards and my husband said - please give them away read more

Always love coming here !!! They are always quick with service and the banchan serving after the intro is superb!!

We came here tonight honestly not expecting much! Just a normal kbbq experience. Didn't know we'd be meeting Edwin, the GOAT of waiters. He was welcoming, so undeniable, and a class act. All our food came quick and he was constantly checking in on us while remaining personable. If you ever find yourself here at this location ask for Edwin! You will NOT be disappointed #THATSLOVE read more

I don't know how I haven't reviewed this place because I've eaten here for YEARS. This is my go-to place to take people who grew up in the Midwest and South without many Asian options. It's always a trip because they are blown away by the all-you-can-eat meat for like $30 a person. As I have Celiac disease, I can't eat anything marinated or fried here because they contain gluten from barley and wheat ingredients. I love GEN because you cook it yourself at the grill inset into your own table to prevent cross contact. I bring my own gluten-free soy sauce and they're always super accommodating for me. I always ask for my dish of sesame oil and green tea salt to be brought out with no soy sauce. I request the salad without dressing, the radish paper and potato salad as unfortunately the banchan that I used to eat before my celiac disease diagnosis all contains gluten. I miss eating their fish cake and bulgogi the most. We always get brisket, pork belly, premium steak and corn cheese. Once I'm done ordering and I'm stuffed to the gills, my husband will order some items with gluten to grill for himself to prevent me from being cross-contaminated. The last 3 times we went through, my husband's Korean fried chicken appetizer has been overcooked. While this isn't the highest end all-you-can-eat Korean bbq in town, it's incredibly affordable and they're accommodating for my celiac disease, which I appreciate.

We visited Gen Korean BBQ House on a Friday night and put our name in at 7:15 PM. We were seated around 8:15 PM, which was expected given how busy it was, so we didn't mind the wait. Inside is nice and there's a lot of spots to sit at. We ordered the AYCE BBQ with the lowest-tier option. A few sides were unavailable that night due to the crowd, but the meat selections were still good, though nothing unique compared to other Korean BBQ spots. Despite how busy it was, our waiter did an amazing job. He was friendly, efficient, and brought out our items quickly while managing multiple tables. Great service overall! read more

Roly made this our best visit to Gen Korean BBQ yet and we've been here many times. The food was excellent as always, but the service is what truly stood out. Roly was incredibly attentive without ever being intrusive. We never had to ask for napkins or refills because he anticipated everything and brought them before we could even think to ask. He kept our table running smoothly, checked in at the perfect times, and made the whole experience feel effortless and enjoyable. Hands down the best time we've had at Gen. We'll definitely be back and hope to get Roly again! read more

So this place is not quite Korean. The meat tasted good but there were hardly any side dishes. Our waiter was super good but they were short staffed, I think, so the food came out sporadically, like slow. We would eat, run out of food, wait, then get meat, and repeat. The soups came out raw (vegetables) and barely warm so we didnt get to enjoy that. This is a great place to go if you wanna eat bunch of stuff that's super Americanized. Food is good so don't get me wrong, but if you want traditional Korean dining, you will be disappointed, because this was not it. Again, our waiter was very nice. read more

The people are really nice, I don't blame them. But the food was just awful. If you see me eating with my hands just to bite off the food (and it's not a hands-on eating restaurant)?, you know it's a bad place. I might as well chew the rubber off a tire. All the meats were too tough and my boyfriend and I were not happy with any of them. On top of that, the alcohol isn't good. The yakult strawberry soju was just DROWNING with sugar. They even sounded like they take pride in their soju too, when in reality, it's not something to be proud of. If you want good quality kbbq, this is NOT the place. read more

We only had the $30/person option and honestly, the choices were amazing. My favorite is the garlic beef!

Unfortunate esp rt now tht its the hottest time of the yr but whatever just saying it Didnt really bother us but be careful kuz other people will or might make a big deal out of it and complain lol. Not us!!! We were happy regardless.... The last time i had Gen was in Cerritos CA and that was a disappointment so i havent been since (10yrs ago). Y'all keep up the great attitude tho fr thts hard to find nowadays- thank you read more

Service was really disappointing. Our server barely checked on us, never offered drink refills, and didn't come by when we were clearly ready to order more food. It felt like all his attention was on the bigger tables, while ours was completely ignored. Not attentive at all, which really took away from the experience. On top of that, the bathrooms were a mess and the floors were sticky, which made the whole place feel dirty and poorly maintained. The dinner menu was $29.99, and I honestly don't feel like I got my money's worth because of the poor service. Compared to other Gen locations I've been to, this one just isn't very good and definitely not up to the standard I expected. read more

Celina was great! Thank you to Rico and all the crew! I really appreciate everyone going above and beyond!!

I rarely leave reviews this harsh, but our experience here was genuinely appalling. While the Korean BBQ portions were decent, everything else about this meal was a complete train wreck. ​The Food: Kitchen Nightmares ​The "cooked" items coming out of the kitchen were practically inedible: Calamari: These weren't just overcooked; they were rubbery rings of charcoal. We sent them back, and the second attempt was only "slightly less burnt" but still disgusting. Korean Pancake: Overcooked on the outside while remaining completely raw and gooey in the middle. ​The Service: ​Our server seemed to actively dislike his job (and us). He was incredibly dismissive and lazy: When we asked about missing items, he'd just shrug and say, "We must be out," without even checking the kitchen. He forgot multiple parts of our order, and--get this--he literally walked away while we were still ordering. I guess he decided for us that we'd had enough to eat. ​The Atmosphere ​To top it all off, the restaurant was freezing. They had all the doors propped wide open, making it impossible to enjoy the meal. The burnt calamari, and the "disappearing" waiter, this was easily the worst dining experience I've had in a long time. ​Save your money. Never again. read more
