Wanted to try Gen today so we did! Love the ambiance of the location! Prices were fair for $31/pp on a weekend. My wife and I really enjoyed trying Gen but a few hit and misses.
Our server was AWESOME! Never have I had a faster, continuous table side checking experience at any K-BBQ! Irvin T deserves 10 stars! Speed of getting things requested was FAST, really FAST! Options to have appetizers and dishes was just so fast, awesome service! And server vs tables were off against the servers.
The thing that threw us off is pork belly. (삼겹살) samgyupsar? is a triple layer of fat/skin cut of pork belly. This was the first time to recieve the most lean cut of pork belly at any K-BBQ. Cuts of pork was impressive but most of it was a lean cut. If you have never tried or tried Korean pork belly cuts, you know it should melt in your mouth! NOT become an over cooked pork chop cut. Major disappointment Gen.
Brisket rolls were awesome! But we got the wrong dish and was served Honey Beef Belly! When we expressed this to the server, he was puzzled (someone else brought out the dish, bravo for speed yet again) why we had a brown sweet sauce on it and this is how we learned we received the Honey version. (It was AWESOME! So this was a PLUS). We received a correct version of our order and came to conclusion the Honey version was !
Lastly, I understand this but hm…as I was finishing our lunch. A girl came and started to check us out while I was still dining/chewing my food. WHY!?! Does someone come and starts to make you pay while you are srill dining/CHEWING food in your mouth?? I was not ready for this. I forcefully swallowed my food and paid for the meal…this, really caught me off guard and made what was a good 1st time visit into an “WTH” experience…too young to be a manager? Never smiled while we were dining the entire time, did not serve, absolutely no idea what her role was and this last minutes of our dining experience unpleasant.

In my opinion probably the best Korean BBQ in San Antonio, TX. I know Kpot is way more famous and popular but my experiences with the server there was not good… I prefer Gen BBQ bc it’s a more reasonable price for lunch and dinner, better atmosphere (music is not as loud so you can still have conversations), and servers are way nice.
Last time I visited I had Lily and Louis as my servers, they are so amazing and patient with my orders. Definitely recommend them if you ever go in!
Edit:
I went in again on 2/26 and Nico was my server – he was so sweet and very attentive to my family’s needs 🙂

A Memorable Experience!
From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by a friendly staff member at the door, setting a welcoming tone right away. The service was exceptional—Riley, Amy, and Jasmine truly stood out with their sweet and attentive care throughout the meal.
The food? Absolutely fresh and flavorful. I had the Wagyu steak and seafood—both were top-notch and beautifully prepared.
After spending an hour and a half here, I left feeling full, happy, and maybe even a little emotional. It was one of those meals that hits the soul. I just wanted to curl up in bed with a full heart and belly. Highly recommend!

A great experience truly. Yesterday I went with friends to celebrate a birthday at Gen Korean. Rico, our host was an absolute legend! His announcer voice was phenomenal! And our server, Nico, is the best server I ever had! He made sure we were well fed and happy! My friend was so happy when they performed their restaurants’ birthday jig! 10/10, will definitely come again!

Always go with the premium option. The meat is way better. We have been twice and are always prepared to wait a little for our items to come out fresh. The servers are very nice. Lilian our server is new but she was so sweet and made sure we were taken care of. Christian the manager was also very attentive and great. We will be coming back.

This place was amazing! The staff was so attentive and very friendly! Eddie was so amazing and kind with us and helped explain how to order and made amazing recommendations. We had such a great experience and were even greeted by the manager to reassure we were having a good time as well! Eddie was so nice, I asked if he could take our picture with my Polaroid camera and he happily agreed and took a picture of a memorable moment for my brother and I that I rarely see. To have a picture of that moment meant everything to me! I’ll definitely be coming more often! Thank you all for your amazing hard work and friendliness!

As someone who considers themselves a Korean BBQ enthusiast, I was initially hesitant to give Gen a try. Before heading over with a friend, I called ahead to check if they offered non-marinated meats, as that’s always my preference – they offer a limited selection of non-marinated meats. Upon arriving, I was greeted right away and told I could be seated even though my friend was still five minutes out, which I appreciated.
I had every intention of sticking to the standard dinner menu and skipping the Premium upgrade, which is $20 extra per person at the table. It wasn’t about the cost—it was simply that the Premium menu didn’t appeal to me. Despite that, my friend insisted we go for it.
To my surprise, the Premium selections included Al Pastor, Carne Asada, Pollo Asado, and a Premium Taco Sampler. Honestly, if I wanted tacos or to dine on authentic cuisine for that specific food, I would have gone to a restaurant specializing in it. I didn’t expect to see those offerings at a Korean BBQ spot.
The Premium Wagyu was just okay—it could’ve been the quality, or maybe the sweetness threw me off. I ended up sticking mostly with the non-marinated pork belly and ribeye. I had three servings of the ribeye and even surprised myself with how much I ate.
The restaurant’s aesthetic was nice, though darker tint on the doors would’ve helped with the lighting. While I don’t see myself returning, if I ever do, I’ll definitely be skipping the Premium menu.

My friend and I stopped by Gen BBQ today for their Summer Bash event, and wow—what an experience! First off, we were lucky enough to eat for free, which was a great surprise. We thought we weren’t going to make the cut off for the first 100 guests, but even if we had paid, it would’ve been worth every penny.
Despite the huge crowd and everyone being seated around the same time, the staff handled everything smoothly and efficiently. No long waits, no cold food—just perfectly cooked BBQ that hit all the right notes. The meats were tender and flavorful, the sides were fresh, and the vibe was just fun and laid-back.
Major kudos to the team at Gen BBQ for pulling off a packed event without sacrificing quality. If today’s bash is any indication, they know how to do summer right. Can’t wait to come back!

Highly recommend the Premium Dinner option. Great quality meats, scrumptious. Never had korean ramen quite like this one either! It was cheesy and savory. The grill was also internally ventilated and easy to clean without anything getting charred stuck on it. Hassle free process. Big shout out to Amy (latina with glasses) who served us. Her recommendations for food and drinks were spot on.

Julia was our server. She was amazing. Very knowledgeable on the extensive menu. She gave great recommendations. She didn’t pressure us to upgrade to the premium but we certainly did as it’s about our 3rd time here without trying it. Definitely recommend it.
I cant get over how awesome the serving staff was. They even helped us with how long to cook and taking the meat off the big bone in rib. It was a delightful and tasteful experience.
Everyone bringing out the food and refilling drinks did a great job. The food tasted great, the experience was well worth it.
Like for real. There have been many korean bbq spots in town and this is one of my favorite and big reason is the staff and the vast menu options.
