Love this place. Great food and great staff!! I usually get the beef veggie bowl with brown rice and it taste amazing. I think it's way better than Flame Broiler. Inside is clean with lots of inside seating. read more

Good food for the price! Service was great! Ambience, well you can't have everything, building is old but they did well with what they have. read more

This place is fire. Chicken and beef both good. Kimchi is legit and $1 canned soda. I don't live close but will make a point to stop by when I'm in the area. read more

I've been stopping by very often at this local spot the past couple months, very glad I found this place. Always go for half beef and spicy pork. Owners, staff and service always the best. Being inside just lets you know your supporting a small local business, ambiance is perfect you can sit in/out to eat. read more

Awesome spot for authentic Korean BBQ on the go. They specialize in to-go bowls and plates. I always eat here. For the price and quality, I always keep coming back. I highly recommend this spot, hidden gem! read more

Busy little hole in the wall catering for the workers in the businesses around. Get's very busy around lunch time. 4 employees were working in the open kitchen behind the counter quickly serving the crowd. Good size tasty meal for a great price. read more

Place is legit. Easily top 3 for best teriyaki I've had in OC. Service was quick and top class. Will be back again.

This hole in the wall Korean (Japanese) teriyaki grill place is fantastic! The portions and nice and big and the meat is so well cut and cooked. It is fresh and all three sauces (two spicy sauces and one teriyaki sauce) are absolutely delicious. The people were very kind and the food was just... perfect. I had the Genki Bowl, which includes 2 meats, rice, and veggies, for only $7.80! Where the hell else in Orange County can you get a good, healthy meal for that price?! I chose the spicy pork and the beef, which are cooked Korean BBQ-style and it was delicious. Also, there was no uncharge for brown rice. Just a great, enjoyable meal all the way around. My total came out to $10.33 with a large drink, including tax. Seriously, WTF?! Amazing. read more

Great food, awesome family owned grill. Definitely coming back, you can't find a lunch this good under $10. Thank you

Love this place. Hard to go back to WaBa after eating here. I bring coworkers here every chance I get.

Absolutely amazing. Mom and shop place that specializes in rice and protein. I got the Genki bowl, rice, chicken and beef and veggies. The sauce was marinaded so the flavors werent too sweet but had a good balance. Very filling and highly recommended. read more

Genki Grill - Genki beef and rice bowl (extra protein) - Korean Near Me - Orange, California

Super cheap and fast. Staff is always friendly. I go here for lunch once or twice a week!

If you like any other bowl spot or chain, you are going to LOVE Genki. High quality meats and vegetables, with a light but flavorful marinate , grilled to perfection. Kimchi was terrific. Genki bowl with split of Spicy pork and Bulgohg beef was exceptional. read more

A very wonderful place to stop by for a quick lunch. They serve the healthiest Asian barbecue grill meal (better than the Flame Broiler). My food was always made quickly and fresh. I really love the lady that is working at the front. She's very kind and friendly to every customer walking in especially on the phone taking orders. read more

Best I've ever had. I live in New Jersey. That was better than any Asian food I have ever had anywhere

I had seen my sisters review on this place lol, as I was looking for a Korean bbq place here in orange. I love anything KOREAN as long as it has Spicy Pork! And this place does! They also have short ribs too! Which are my FAV! But I haven't tried those here yet. I had the Spicy Pork plate which was so good! I am definitely coming back! The only downside is they close early and I work late. But days that I am off I'll be coming back! read more

Genki Grill - Spicy Pork Plate with brown rice. Delicious! Flavorful - Korean Near Me - Orange, California

My Co-worker (Brian P. ) told me about this place. Said he knew the owner and that this place makes great food! He wasn't lying. Got 2 Genki bowls to-go and it was great :) definitely coming back to this place. -Zachariah read more

I work nearby, never in my life have I been to amore consistent and affordable lunch spot. You can specialize your bowls, I usually get no rice only broccoli and a choicer of protein. You can opt for no sauce (sugar) on the meat before they grill it. Best lunch I have ever had for around 10 bucks. I have eaten here almost every single day for the past three years and can attribute this to an approximate 30lb weight loss. read more

Solid food all around! Was really impressed with the size of their portions! They really do a great job of giving you enough great food for a great price that neither your stomach or wallet will be unhappy! I recommend the spicy pork and Chicken bowl with green onions! Wow, what a lunch! Keep up the great work guys! read more

Genki Grill - Spicy Pork and Beef Bowl! - Korean Near Me - Orange, California

This place has really good chicken bowls! I tried the short ribs, spicy pork, and chicken and chicken was my favorite. The short ribs here aren't very tender, they are quite chewy and hard to eat. The spicy pork tastes like the korean hot pepper paste and wasn't very special. I know the chicken in the chicken bowl isn't really seasoned much or has sauce for it, but for some reason, it has a very clean healthy taste to it. I think next time, I'd call in and make an order because it does take quite some time. You can also watch them make your food because the kitchen is completely open and the register is right in front of it read more

Genki Grill - Lots of drink options - Korean Near Me - Orange, California

The friendly smiles of the owners/staff were wonderful and the service was great, so - if you want good, inexpensive food served with a smile, then Genki is a good choice. Don't come for atmosphere or a charming lunch spot - save that for another restaurant where you pay for those "extras." The food was served quickly and it tasted just fine - that combined with the lowest prices in town make it hard to beat for lunch on the run. read more

I have been coming to Genki Grill for some time now. Let me just say this place doesn't disappoint .Its better then flame broiler and any other chicken teriyaki places. It's also cheaper and they are not cheap with their portions.It is o bad they do not open on weekends . read more

I eat here once or twice weekly. I've tried everything on the menu and loved them all. My all time favorite is the beef and chicken bowl with steamed veggies topped with diced green onions. The flavoring is so good that I don't need any sauce on it. read more

Great value, very friendly service, tasty food. The spicy pork was tasty and plenty of vegetables.

I hate to say this because they were so nice when we visited, but if you're Korean, this place is a 1-2 star joint. If you're non-Korean, it's just marinated meat flavor where, if you never grew up on the Korean taste, you're unable to discern any difference, and I get it - marinated meat is generally yummy meat and you can't really go wrong. But don't come here expecting KBBQ flavor you expect from any decent place anywhere else in OC, esp if you're Korean or claim to understand good taste. read more

Wow this place is a stand out. The food is fresh and delicious with lots of flavor. My first visit I tried the spicy pork and chicken bowl combo. I will be a regular now. Support them if you can during this take out only time as they appear family owned and operated. read more

Delicious. Great price. Fast service. Highly recommended. The spicy pork is on point.

The staff is SO friendly and helpful. The meat is moist and has lots of flavor. Bowls are made very quickly too. Inside and outside seating as well. read more

I always come to eat here for lunch since it right by my work I always get the short rib special ! The food is always good and the workers always treat you like family . Their nice , polite and friendly. Nice little spot you should definitely check it out . read more

Best chicken and beef this side of the Pacific Ocean! Genki Grill is fast with top quality meet and vegetables. What more could you ask for? Why are you even still reading this review? So order some good food for yourself and others. Change the world! read more

Delicious and fast service! Located in an area filled with lots of small businesses - it's no wonder this place was busy on a Tuesday afternoon. Our team came here and we all ordered the bowls. It was reasonably priced and the bowls were filled to the brim with the meats. If you get the Genki bowl it's basically 2 meats, rice and veggies. I chose tofu and beef, next time I'll go for the beer and chicken. Everything was great and we will definitely be back!! Recommend it over Waba grill or Flame Broiler. read more

This place was very accommodating of our very large order for a group of our employees. They were so nice about it all, got everyone's individual order right and their food is delicious. Thank you Genki staff! read more

It's been a year and a half since I've been able to visit. They still remembered what I like to eat.

This places makes me happy. There are restaurants that don't take pride in their work, and there are restaurants tha keep it real like this place. Legit portions, very fair prices, clean and nice-looking restaurant, authentic flavors. Most of the employees behind the counter appear to be Korean, and they're really nice. The experience feels like someone's uncles and aunts are hooking me up w the good stuff. Highly recommend read more

Wow!!!!!! Spicy Pork Amazing dude!!!! If you like Alpastor tacos you'll Love their spicy Pork!!!!! I always get their Genki Bowl best of both worlds you get to try two types of meat!!!! Not to hungry the mini bowl hits the spot!!! Want eat something satisfying Yes do try them!!!!! And yes I'm a foodie read more

Unassuming location near a lot of businesses, but worth the stop. The staff are working quickly on super fresh, tasty bowls and plates -- I got the beef (bulgogi) and pork (dweji bulgogi) bowl over veggies only, no rice, and a side of kimchi. Everything is homemade and it shows. Even the sauces are made from scratch. The meat is chopped finely and the seasoning is perfection! Highly recommended for a quick lunch. read more

Chiecken N Beef Bowl Very good food. Great price. The chicken and beef were moist wet juicy deliciousness. Even the tofu was good. The owners were also very nice and welcoming. read more

An awesome place for lunch or dinner. I've been here a few times this week and really like this place. I always get the Genki bowl with chicken and spicy pork with vegetables on white rice, it is yummy! The food here is prepared fresh and in front of you so you see everything that's going on. The restaurant has community style seating and is very clean and minimal. A must try for all you teriyaki fans out there! read more

When the city of Orange presents an eating spot that's not a chain and it's bomb; I start doing head spins to the beats of sizzlinGOOD meats & rice. It's simple. Walk in, get greeted, turn your head to the left wall and customize your own bowls or plates. Yes, just like Flame Broiler or Waba Grill (sort of) or those other not-so-famous teriyaki establishments - EXCEPT - the meats here have that Korean BBQ twist/flair!! They have mini bowls, bowls or plates. If it all seems too familiar, it is, because you order food the same way at the places I mentioned in paragraph 2. The only difference is the meats are so-dang-delicious, I needed restraining from my bowl! I mean, I wasn't even that hungry, but this bowl lead me to believe I was starving. Exaggerating? Maybe...It's very, very good to me. I had a 1/2 spicy pork & 1/2 chicken + brown rice w/ green onions bowl. KILLER! Chicken was super tender and the spicy pork kicked my butt and won! Not to mention the brown rice was the best I'd had in awhile, moist, sticky and not dry. Husband dug it too. He had the short rib plate and a mini bowl of spicy pork. All great to him. Fountain drinks with free refills too or you can buy bottled or canned ones. Place wasn't busy, then again it was a little after 3pm on a weekday. Food was made within 10 mins and satisfied just as most Yelp reviews foretold. This being down the street from my job now, I'll be here often. Good stuff! read more
