Gen Korean BBQ House in San Jose

I love this barbeque place and will definitely be coming back! Came to this all-you-can-eat Korean barbeque restaurant on a Sunday evening with 7 other people to have dinner. Starting with the moment we walked in, the experience was great: we were told theres a wait time so we left a name, phone number, and were told whats the wait time. It was supposed to be about 30-40 minutes at 6 pm on a Sunday but we got a text in about 10 minutes.Then we started ordering the food and it was great. Ill admit that it took a while to get the meat to our tables but is was understandable because the waiters were very very busy. Once the first meats came out, we fried it ourselves and kept on ordering. In two hours allowed, we had a lot of different meats and got very full&happy. It was a bit loud inside but thats alright.All the sides are free, we only paid the dinner price per person, no hidden fees5/5

It is all u can eat. They provide a large varity of meat choice, side dishes, sauce, street food. Very tasty. The staff are friendly and attentive. They come often to replace the bbq plate. Their soup is also worthy to try so yummy. The price is reasonable and they dont fix the tip like most of all u can eat yet they provide really good service

Returned here last weekend to try again after the decrease in hype. Previously, the wait times were long during all hours on the weekends and weekday dinners. The atmosphere continues to be great for the younger crowds and young-at-heart, especially for dinner with music thumping and neon lighting piercing through the darkness...like a club. Dinner pricing was the same for lunch on weekends, which we came at noon last Saturday with the restaurant being barely half filled. Previously, there would be a line at the same time.Service was great and expeditious, 5*. There were varieties of meats and a few seafood items such as calamari and shrimp. However, competitor meats and options have outshined them. Veggies and salad were available and appeared fresh. Overall food and selections, 4*.

The food is fine.The service was nice and I love their crispy cheese pork. They have a wide range of meat selections to choose from, but some marinated meats were too sweet for us. We were expecting something spicy instead of sweet.

Different experience. I guess there are no stoves in the kitchen, haha. All the meats were delicious. The sauces good too. Nice to share with friends and feel like a chef!

There are many meat selections but only a few vegetables on the menu. The meat quality are acceptable but not top quality for sure since it’s all you can eat style. Our server is friendly and nice. No reservation can be made, but we did not wait for long to get our table.

Excellent service, the food is very delicious and the menu is quite varied. We were served by Alberto and he was really attentive and friendly, we will definitely return. 100% recommended

Cant beat all you can eat meat with free sides and appetizers. The bulgogi, short ribs, and kalbi are my go to choices from the extensive meat menu. The honey soy beef belly is a bit too fatty. They all go well with samjang and radish kimchee. Weekday price is more worth it over the weekend price. Fast service. Attentive staff.

Overall a great experience. There will be a long wait so be prepared. Once in, you have a time limit of 90 min - 2 hours and you will be able to get as many starters and 4 meats per round as you want. Be careful cause you will be charged for meat you didn’t cook/eat when you pay the bill. ($5/plate) I love this idea. Less waste and conscious eating even if it’s all you can eat.Good selection of meat, sea food and poultry. Great marinates on some of the meat as well. Salad, rice and any of the fermented veggies will be at your disposal so try and use as much green - it really spices it up. Also, there is some soup you can have (favorite is either the kimchi base soup or the soft tofu).Service was good, even though some times they take a while to get you your meat. Will definitely go back soon.

This was my first time trying Korean barbecue. It was a cool experience and the food was good. I don’t know if any other place does it, but one recommendation would be if they could have a recommended cooking time or something to help know when food is usually considered cooked. We’d never made calamari before and kind of just guessed when it was ready. But it was fine.
