    When I last came here I bought two of the peaceminusone drinks and they were expired.

    My husband and I came in on a Saturday, and it was the perfect time to visit--not too busy at all. Oscar our busser was great. Sebastian our server, was fantastic and helped us with our order by recommending some great items. He was attentive and made our experience even better. The banchan was delicious, and while the japchae could have been a little better, the rest of the food was very enjoyable. The hostess greeted us warmly and was very sweet. Overall, we had a great experience and would definitely return. Weekend dinner pricing was completely reasonable for the quality of food and service.

    I Stopped by for Korean BBQ on a Saturday afternoon. The food was great with flavorful meats, especially the honey soy beef belly, garlic and spicy samgyubsal pork belly, and yangnyeom galbi. Service was a bit slow and the fries came out late and cold, but the staff were friendly. I dined solo and really appreciated being seated in a quiet corner booth away from the larger groups. Overall, a solid experience and I'd come back for the quality of the meat.

    We loved our food and drinks. Our food was always on time, our server was very friendly. Great place to enjoy with friends and family.

    I rarely leave reviews, but this visit was genuinely abysmal from start to finish. To be clear: our waitress was new, and she did her absolute best. She was kind, she tried, and none of this reflects on her. I gave her full grace -- this review is not about her. The problem was everything else. 1. Missing Menu Items They didn't have multiple meat items that were literally listed on the menu -- at a KBBQ restaurant. That alone was disappointing, but what made it worse was the attitude from the other staff member (the guy with dreads). When we asked if there were alternatives or substitutes, he didn't offer a single thing. No apology. No explanation. No effort to help. Just total indifference. 2. Burnt Grill for 25+ Minutes My grill has been completely burnt since the first round of meat -- going on almost 25 minutes -- and nobody offered a grill change. Not once. We were literally trying to cook meat on a charred, unusable grill. For a place where grilling is the entire experience, this is just unacceptable. 3. Zero Support for the New Waitress She was clearly trying, but the rest of the staff and management gave her no support. It shows. And it affects the customers directly. Overall, this was one of the worst dining experiences I've had in a long time. The lack of communication, lack of service, missing menu items, and the burnt grill sitting in front of us the entire time made the visit unbelievably disappointing. The only positive part of tonight was the new waitress doing her best. Everything else was terrible. Unfortunately, we won't be coming back. This location seriously needs management attention and a complete reset on customer service and quality.

    Celebrated Valentine's Day here and dined with family. We had a good time and enjoyed our dinner. I opted for just the beef varieties for meat this visit. We also tried some appetizers like calamari, fries & dumplings. The service was a little slow and our server didn't come and check on us as much though.

    This is our serving portion for 3 people

    (2/5) Very disappointed. We came from Elk Grove because this place used to have great service and food, but that's no longer the case. We were seated at 5:00 PM and weren't acknowledged for almost 20 minutes. Many menu items were unavailable and we weren't told until after being seated. Meat orders were delayed, sometimes incorrect, and we waited over 15 minutes. No drink refills and very inattentive service. This restaurant used to be worth the drive, but not anymore.

    5 order of banchan came with our food, and only after we asked for some.

    I came in for the amazing unbeatable price of an all you can eat Korean bbq at lunch pricing : Under $20! You don't find that unless you are braving parking in Hawaiian Gardens. My server was nice, however seemed to forget my requests: bring more of a certain dish, side order of sesame oil. He was always polite and saying "I got you" but I wasn't unless I asked his coworker for the same thing. The small side orders of ban-chan didn't appear until we asked about them, even though they come automatically with the Korean bbq. The bulgogi portion was very small: There is no way that is feeding one person unless you ask for two orders. I had two water refills in the entire 2 hours I was there. The vibes were chill and the mood lighting was soft , but all of that was overshadowed by a German cockroach (yes) quickly scampering along the back of our booth. I pointed it out to our forgetful "I got you" waiter, who tried to kill or catch it, but it made a successful run for another day of freedom. The waiter took $5 off our bill.

    Short rib, brisket
    Lillieanna R.

    Absolutely love this place! We always find the food at a great quality and almost never leave feeling unsatisfied! We usually stick with the brisket and short ribs but we love trying them with different types of side dishes they have like the kimchi, pickled cucumbers, or radish paper. They're able to seat large parties as well along with providing high chairs for families who need them. The waiters are usually pretty quick and are on top of service and have been super nice! Definitely a place to keep coming back to!

    Went for lunch... ok was shocked this is all you can eat.. no side dishes.. no kimchi, no cucumber Kim chee,no bean sprouts no nothing as far a side dishes .. no lettuce. No sauces with your grilled meats.. you just get the meats and rice.. no for the meats.. the said garlic pork but nothing had any flavor.. was very disappointed. Sad to say the best this about our lunch was the chopsticks.. but we were hungry.

    Bon chins, sauces, salad and lots of beef brisket.
    Milleth S.

    Had another wonderful and satisfying lunch today at Gen KBBQ. As always our server Jesus was spectacular, great service, friendly, attentive to our needs and brings orders of meats and orders of appetizers accurately and fast to our table. Also the kim chi fried rice on the appetizers menu was so good! Yaki Mandu for the kids always hit the spot. Jesus change our grill as soon as he saw it was starting to burn the meats, sodas were refilled constantly, the Bon Chins and sauces were rep we'd soon as they were finished. The restaurant is upbeat with lively music and always clean, clean tables, clean floors and clean bathrooms!!! Thanks Jesus for another great lunch! If you guys are planning a trip, I am confident Jesus will take care of your party and provide fast and excellent service. Love this places.

Got a pound of brisket for $28. It was cooked medium well and chewy. It had a nice smoky flavor but wished it was medium rare. They have 4 bbq sauces. Tried the traditional which has minimal spice. The spicy has habaneros in it which gives it a kick. Clean atmosphere with lots of tvs to watch the games. Service was good. My order was ready within 10 min bc it was empty.

Using the yelp app. Due to glitching with the internet service one order was duplicate 7 more times in error and the order went through. I contacted both GrubHub and the restaurant immediately to notify them the error. Thinking someone from the restaurant would also respond wondering if this was correct that someone would be ordering the same exact thing in quantity. Online with Grubhub they left me on hold for 45 minutes and once I reached this location, after I also sent an email, I was told to call another location that was closed. I held one line and called Grubhub from my husband's phone. We are now 30 minutes from the original order being placed and they say it's in process and can't be stopped. Two hours later a delivery person showed up with all this food. We try to declined the order and the driver, nice guy, tells us to call again to get it addressed. All this food going to go to waste.

    Wow that was incredible!…read more For my dad's birthday and fathers day we ordered bbq tri-tip, ribs and mac and cheese. My brother and his wife found Silverback BBQ through a friend who highly recommended trying this for a party. We wanted something special for the birthday and my dad loves bbq. Ok we all love it but this was all geared for my dad. I bbq and smoke meats sometimes so I have some idea what to expect. I knew the food was going to be great just from word of mouth and some of the pictures on his site so the expectations were high. We paid extra to have the food delivered. Communication and payment was easy. Silverback BBQ (Carl is his name if I recall) and his wife both delivered the food. I was worried it might be cold but the special container he used, some kind of large carrier or crate kept the food very warm. It was steaming when everything was placed on the table. The smell was amazing! He proceeded to cut up the tri-tip into slices. I can't remember if the ribs were already cut or not before or during. He had made everything to our own specifications. We wanted medium well, somewhat spicy with some sweet and that's exactly what we got. The tri-tip had a beautiful cherry smoke ring on it. It was juicy and tender. The ribs were perfect. Again juicy, easy to bite off the bone but it didn't just fall apart, had some pull to it(which is good!). Flavor was great. Let's just say my sister who never eats ribs had a second helping. Price was great for everything that was included. I wasn't expecting Carl to also cut the tri-tip in front of us and serve everything. He took a lot of care to make things very enjoyable and I'm serious about that. Aside from the food I give his service 100% perfect. The whole process was entertaining and fun plus he took pictures with my dad and some of the family. I can't describe his personality with enough credit. He's just a cool dude for lack of a better word. Professional but cool. Looking forward to the next event when we can order more!
