A really large restaurant near NYU. Good for larger groups, and the price is pretty good. I liked the pickles and kimchi, and the meat wasn’t bad. Good bulgogi and pork belly and cheek, but I did NOT enjoy the intestines and red wine pork belly. Service was good and we had our cooking plate changed 3 times, food came out fast, but the restaurant wasn’t very full and it was so cold inside I saw a server take off the cooking plate on an empty table, light himself a fire, and start warming his hands like he was camping in the Pacific Northwest. Can seat a ton of people so it’s good for larger groups, though you’ll all smell like smoke afterwards.

Got myself their $18 2 sides 2 meats with white rice and japchae for takeout. Big portions of white rice, beef bulgogi and beef brisket. The sides of kimchi and cucumber could’ve been a little bigger, but other than that, food was great and very filling.

Today was a magnificent experience for my birthday I treated myself to this great place, I love the atmosphere & the ambiance of cooking your own food right here on 3rd Ave in Manhattan. Idk the reviews above me must be old they got liquor, they have the meats like arbys, and the staff are extremely meticulous in serving the customers. Alex my server is such a great worker and I appreciate how he greeted, served, and treated me on my birthday. Dude is excellent addition to this company I hope they really acknowledge the efforts of the staff cuz without them the place will be nothing.

ngl most of all meats and appetizers are really delicious. Our server, Kyle she’s so sweet, kind and pays attention to all the tables. Service is really really good. Even I didn’t tell her I needed napkins she gave me first. Appreciate her a lot. We’ll definitely come back!!! ❤️❤️

We had the Dinner special and arrived there around 10.15 pm. And ordered spicy calamari, chicken, shrimp, tofu soup, soju and many more. The food was great and our server was really nice, we loved the surroundings even though it was little noisy. Had a great time!

Gen Korean BBQ is a place we have been meaning to try, but there’s always a long queue. Luckily, we managed to get in for an early Thursday dinner.
Upon arrival, it wasn’t too busy, and we were immediately seated at a table for two with a grill right in the middle.
The deal is an all-you-can-eat BBQ for $33 for a couple of hours, and any wasted BBQ you order will be charged. We were informed that we could order four different meats at a time.
For our appetizer, we ordered Korean fried chicken, but they also served banchan at the table, so we realized that ordering the appetizer was unnecessary.
We then proceeded to order the following meats:
– Gen premium steak
– Spicy pork bulgogi
– Samgyupsal or premium pork belly
– Garlic pork belly
The order arrived promptly, and we felt satisfied and full after an hour. We finished our dinner with Hotteok, a Korean sweet pancake topped with sugar.
Overall, we had a good dining experience here. Our server changed the grill a couple of times and checked on us many times during the meal to see if we needed anything. With a reasonable price point and great customer service, we will definitely be back!

I came here for their lunch deal on a weekday and had a great time. For their lunch deal, which ends at 3pm, you just have to get seated before that time! And, the staff was so sweet and accommodating for my friend who came a bit later. The interior is bright and spacious, and tables are big for you to order lots of food.
There are a variety of appetizers included in the AYCE deal (which most places don’t do) so that was really nice. We tried their japchae, fish katsu, KFC, calamari, soondubu, and hotteok. We also got a variety of their beefs, which was solid quality and had lots of flavor. It was a shame that they didn’t have radish or rice paper when we went, but I enjoyed eating the meat with their salad. Overall, solid AYCE KBBQ deal, and probably one of the more affordable ones in the city!

Food was more or less good, service could’ve been way better. Felt like waiter was non existent and not attentive. They stopped had and no oil and stopped giving oil for grill; messed with the quality of the food. Atmosphere was alright could be better. In the future I hope you guys address these issues.

A really good value here – just wished the service would be more consistent. We were greeted by one server and he said he would be the one but we found out later, the entire staff roams and services every table which resulted in leaving items out of our order as one server didn’t oversee our meal. We were a party of three and while the price for the lunch menu was good, the price for the dinner menu was even better as there are more meat selections and better marinades and choices of proteins. All in all a great deal if you have the appetite. All the beef dishes were great, skip the fried fish.

My party of five dined at GEN Korean BBQ Manhattan last Friday, and it was truly an amazing experience from start to finish. Even though the restaurant was packed, the service was fast, organized, and professional. Our server Gregory was incredibly attentive and efficient, and Bobby, the manager, made sure everything ran smoothly. The entire staff worked seamlessly and really made us feel welcome.
The food came out quickly, hot, and beautifully prepared. The banchan was fresh, the japchae was perfectly seasoned without being oily, and the hotteok pancake was our favorite. It was warm, slightly crisp on the outside, and absolutely delicious. The wagyu premium meat slices were SO SO GOOD, tender, flavorful, and just melted in your mouth. All the menu items we wanted were available, and everything was served promptly.
The staff were also quick to change the grill throughout our meal, which made a big difference. We never ended up with burned meats, and everything cooked evenly. Their attention to detail was impressive.
Cleanliness was top-notch. The servers looked sharp, kitchen staff wore gloves, plates were cleared quickly, and napkins were always restocked. Even at full capacity, nothing was missed.
The location is super convenient, close to multiple subways and bus lines, and there is a Trader Joe’s next door, perfect if you want to grab dessert or run a quick errand after dinner.
Whether you are planning a date night, a family gathering, or just a weekend dinner after a long week, GEN Manhattan is the perfect spot. Great food, amazing service, and premium all-you-can-eat Korean BBQ right in the city. I will definitely be returning and recommending this location to everyone I know.
