Went here on a Friday, the wait was about 2 hours but if you get on the waitlist about 2 hours prior then you can gauge a better time to come, however you need to be in range to join the list. Surprisingly this Friday wasn’t as packed but still a full house. The food came out fast and was good quality as we got the premium selection so you know we had to get the wagyu option. I’d stay clear of all the marinated meets until you get everything else first. The reason why is because the marinated meat will crust of that cook top like no other and it will start to burn; then you’ll have to get a grill change and start over. No hard but just a hassle. Plenty of seating and roomy as long as you sit down and don’t move. The tables are shorter which gives you the closeness vibe to those you eat it. Will come again and again.

Overall Very good, meats were ok better than Gen but -1 star because why was the front receptionist was answering the phone and talking for so long while there was a line of people waiting. I feel like customers there should be prioritized and the caller should be left on hold first.

Didnt really like this kind of grill because it was ‘sticky’ if you know what i mean didnt really give the best charr compare to other type of kbbq grill

Table was quite small but its ok not a big deal to me

Still had a good meal, would come back again bc its good for price compared to other kbbq

Very yummy all-you-can-eat Korean BBQ! They were consistent with changing the grill tops to ensure you always had a clean one. You order whatever you want on your phone, and they bring it out quickly to the table. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is because short ribs are extra after your first order and we waited 1 hour for a table. Went with 4 people, and our total was $170 after beer and all-you-can-eat. Would definitely come back!

Came on a Friday since they open early Fri-Sun but otherwise 5 PM.

So off the bat they are pretty solid, sides aren’t that great but it’s fine but the meats are all above average.

Going with premium is the way to go if you’ve never visited.

Overall price and quality it’s solid so would recommend if their hours are workable with you.

My new favorite KBBQ in the Bay Area. The meat quality and selection are exceptional. I wish it was warmer inside, I have to keep my jacket on while eating.

Best value per cost Korean BBQ in Bay Area.
We never stepped in Gen Korean BBQ after our first visit here. They serve you way faster than Gen.
We usually go for 31.99 / person for 90 minutes. The meat quality is petty good. Side dishes are also delicious.

I visited this restaurant recently and had a pretty chilly experience—literally. The kitchen door was left open the entire time, and the cold wind just kept blowing inside, making it uncomfortably cold. On top of that, the service was quite slow. We had to ask three or four times just to get a pair of tongs for the meat, and they never actually brought them. Also, the beef strangely had a bit of a porky taste to it, which was kind of odd

This place is not too big so wait time can be long during peak hour, make sure you join waiting list before.

The atmosphere is great and I love that they left all the sauce on each table so you can refill yourself. Also like an idea of ordering through your phone so you don’t have to wave or looking for a waiter/ waitress but that too creat a small problem.

Employees are not really friendly or make contact with customers, some of them are not even speak English. When they bring us dessert the waitress just like shovel it into our face without saying anything and wait for us to take it from her, quite unprofessional in my opinion.

Put that aside I think foods are very decent and the good sauce have made our meal better. The variety of sides order also gave us more flavor. Your order also quickly delivered to the table.
In overall we love the place, just hope for the employees will be more lively and friendly. Definitely coming back for more.
