I love all the meat choices and they all tasted delicious. My favorite is of course the beef brisket and the Hawaiian steak and the galbi. The corn cheese is my fave side. My husband loved the tofu stew. The price is about $35 per person for dinner. And i believe $16.99 for kids. It is an average price and worth it. And a plus is being able to enjoy all the kpop music videos they play on the screens hehe.

Service is too notch - our waiter was very attentive and friendly!…read more Food - $30.99/lunch is still the best price in town for Korean bbq AYCE consider the variety of meat options and appetizers you' get. Unbeatable price wise! Seasoning- the butter pork was way too salty and hard to eat because of how dry it become after cooked Spicy bulgogi, steak, shrimp, octopus are what I recommended - well seasoned, pair well with kimchi and white rice but don't over do with the rice because it fills you up quickly! My favorite side dishes are the soft tofu, fish katsu & cheese corn! Xtra cheesy and delicious If you're craving Korean food and want to try different types with unlimited kimchi side dishes then this is the place to go!

This was 2nd visit and it was delicious…read more First visit I got the Raymun but asked for beef instead of seafood and they accommodated. It was fantastic. My friend got the LA galbi short ribs combo and absolutely craved it since then. We did have the seafood pancake. I wasn't a fan. I felt it lacked that seafood taste and I didn't care for the jalapeño that was substituted for the Korean chili's. My friend really enjoyed it. I prefer Kimchi Koreans seafood pancake out of all the versions I've tried. 2nd visit - I got the LA galbi short rib combo which comes with rice, soup (soft tofu beef was devine) and the side dishes - which are also excellent! It's $24 for the combo and you will NOT leave hungry! My friend got the spicy pork bulgogi combo. Loved it all. It is simply one of the best Korean food we've had. Decor is extremely nice. This is a hidden gem. Local Korean families are eating here. Service is quick and attentive. There's bbq service with all you can eat also available. Chalk boards to draw on and have fun, perfect for family's. This would make a great date destination or just any occasion is fine as you can enjoy your meal with the comfort foods from Korea. Highly recommend trying this place out!

Really solid spot for some good Korean food. The quality and taste are spot on and the prices are…read morepretty cheap. To be fair, the portions do feel a bit smaller though. But also I'm confused about the prices because we ate lunch on Sunday, but we were charged the dinner prices. Anyways, I really want to come back for the kbbq. It just seems so much more worth, as it's only a little more expensive that a normal a la carte dish, and it's unlimited. Plus, their meat quality looks pretty good!

Then we discovered Hot Pot Korean BBQ, and did the hotpot option. 10/10 actually. The beef brisket? to die for. the kimchi? absolutely. Their house sauce has ruined every other sauce for me.

I've seen this place in the Winn-Dixie shopping center for years and I've always wanted to try it…read more My friends and I enjoy Korean BBQ so we stopped by. The tables have the both the BBQ grill and the hot pots. Food - try it all! They have all your meats and stuff in a buffet area. everything we tried was fresh and delicious. We had both the grill and the hot pots. Each of us tried a different base and all of them were good. I would go traditional if I was you. Food conveyor - just like you see in Japan! Alls sorts of items come by your table. If I could say anything bad it would be that I wish some of the portions were smaller - there are so many things to try and I no longer each like a college student. Service - our server never left us wanting for anything. Everyone was friendly and helpful. I look forward to bringing more friends here in the future. The place is large and can accommodate larger groups - I think I saw one group of about 15. It may seem a little pricey for some but you have lots of options and it's worth it.

Got $$ back on the wings which was fine. The drink was no good, garbage. The hotdog was a good experience but not worth going back for this. The staff were talking in Spanish complaining that they should be cooking Hispanic food. Whatever. We understood you. The cook watched a we ate the 1 wing and I promise it's like he knew it was bad. Why go to Korean food cooked by people complaining about the food and want their own ethnic food. Just pass. Go to Kimchi Korean off San Jose instead and enjoy authentic food at a reasonable price. FYI.. no one was there and restaurant was empty should've been sign #1. It looks cool in pictures only.

I've been to Lanjie several times and each time it hits the spot. We went when it first opened so…read moreall the stations were fully stocked and ready. I usually stick to only hot pot because grilling and hot pot at the same time is too much for me. My go-to broths are herbal or pork bone. The broth is always flavorful and tasty and comforting. With the sauce station, I can customize my dipping sauce as well as adding it to the soup to bring it to the spice level I like. My friend got spicy sichuan, which she can handle the spicy. It is also good but I would go with Korean seafood if I wanted medium spicy. I like the many food options they offer which even includes shrimp with or without the head and snow crab legs. The revolving veggies and noodles are so convenient and fun. I like to get in my leafy greens - they have bok choy, lettuce, napa cabbage, snow pea tips, and water cress (when they have it). It is also nice that they offer different flavors of ice cream in a cup or waffle cone for dessert. Perfect ending to a meal. The service was good and they recently upgraded to electric payment at the table which makes it even more efficient when you're ready to go. Until next time!

I battled for a while on how to score Gen Korean BBQ House! Whenever I leaned toward a 4, I found…read morethat I needed to leave out my feelings about fighting with the food I eat, which is difficult for me! But that's on me, not the restaurant. And the food, of which this is a hot pot cook and serve yourself full service restaurant has to be considered in my scoring and graded on that. Now, speaking of service, it was outstanding from the door greeter, our server, and having an opportunity to speak with the manager, I will say that the courtesy and attention to detail was evident throughout the eating cooking and eating experience. It has been a few years since I had eaten in this type of restaurant, and being it was my birthday, I kind of said "Oh no!" To myself as I knew what I was in for. But with the psychological game I was playing inside my head, I instantly made a shift and determined to make it a fun and enjoyable experience. It worked! Except my dearest was having difficulty chewing the meat. But again this was not due to the quality of the meats we chose, it was something else. But the food was very good. I loved the appetizers that came with our dinner at the start. I'm scared to eat kimchi because it's often fire on my tongue! But not this time - there was a little heat in most of the appetizers, but nothing that I couldn't handle. It's good to see the restaurant holding back some of the heat to help those who desire less burn from the taste. Now the meats we had all cooked well and timely in the pot. They did sneak a little Mexican in the meat choices with the pollo (chicken) asado! They had al pastor as well, and thought I had ordered it, but it didn't show up. Now, I would say on the pollo asado offering that I felt the spicing was a little too heavy. It was good and I do miss Mexican cuisine from my years in San Diego. We also had pork belly, which I didn't try because I don't eat pork, but it was a good looking option for those who do like it. Now I will say that I did really like the beef bulgogi - was nicely marinated and pretty tender and not overly chewy. Now, I will say that there were only two of us, but I think we would have fared better being in a group of four or more. I will say that the large padded seating booths are pretty awesome! We needed a lot of room to set all the appetizers and choices we made. I also wish I had gotten to try the carne asada and al pastor. But that's for another day :D I do love the ambiance of Gen Korean BBQ. It's modern in appearance. The spacing is good and it's very well-managed and the care in cleanliness is highly visible. It wasn't a busy time when we visited Gen, but we got to see others enjoying their meals here - and most clearly were large groups that seemed to know the drill better that we did at this type of restaurant. With Gen being in Town Center, I have to finally say that the price of the meal was very reasonable, especially when you have a complete menu to choose many items from. It was impressive. If you like Korean BBQ and restaurants of this type, you owe it to yourself to make a visit (and try to get a small group together to go with you)! Recommend: HIGH
