I'd give it 6 stars if I could. Unparalleled service and a ton of food. Delish. We got the course option and it fed my entire family. The quality is so good. I just can't say enough about this place. It was so good.

We had a great time at Genwa. We had the B Course and felt it was enough to satisfy three people. We were especially impressed by the banchan side dishes. There were so much and all of them were very tasty. The selection of meats was well balanced as well. If you are looking for good Korean BBQ and don't want to make the drive to Koreatown, I highly recommend Genwa.

Where do we begin? So many dishes and so much banchan was on our table for 8 that it's hard to chronologically arrange this review, so I'll brain dump dishes as they come to my head. Large onions on grill - blackened and delish. Meat on grill - blackened and delish. Stone bowl fried rice was my favorite dish of the night, charred sides and perfectly chewy. kimchi, potatoes, spinach, jalapenos, bean sprouts were all well spiced. The japchae were ok, too slimy, but that's on me just not liking that dish than on them. The puffy egg thing that came in a stone bowl was incredible, amazingly fluffy and melted in your mouth, I'd love to try make that myself. The drinks (sapporo, makgeoli) are basic and bottled. The tteokboki was excellent, extra saucy and chewy, keeps you quiet for a bit chewing through those rice cakes!

More convenient to get to from touristy areas of LA than the Koreatown restaurants which is how I ended up here. Hard to get on street parking but they have valet parking. Clean modern interior. They have high quality meat but it is quite expensive compared to Ktown. Plentiful and great Banchan. Good if you're in Beverly Hills/West Hollywood but there are better in Ktown.

I liked this location compare to others. It's nice open and bright inside restaurants. Staffs are very helpful giving advice as we ordered for group people. Food taste good. I like so many small appetizers ( panchan? ) overall good experience

There are so many good things about this restaurant I don't even know where to begin. Like usual, I will break it down by category for you guys. Food- exceptional quality. The meats are just so flavorful and tender, there's a big difference between the meat you get here vs your typical satisfactory Korean BBQ restaurant. We ordered course A and course C. We were a party of 5 and there was more than plenty of food for all of us. The beef Bulgogi was amazing and so were ALL of the saucey meats. Service- one of the coolest things about this restaurant is you sit down at a stove table like all other Korean BBQ's, but the staff actually cooks your food for you! We loved this as the staff knows how to cook it and prepare it way better than any of us could and they were very good at explaining what they were serving us after it was cooked. The ventilation system is also much better than any other Korean BBQ place we've been to- it was very nice leaving the restaurant and not smelling like the food! Atmosphere- very nice restaurant, the dining room is big but it is a nice vibe and it does not feel like you're sitting in a cafeteria. They were pretty busy for a Saturday night yet still squeezed our party in at 8:30, and promptly seated us when we arrived. Overall- We all agreed we'd be back. It is an expensive restaurant but I truly feel that you paying for quality food and service, which is hard to come by these days. I will happily spend more for an amazing experience and that is exactly what this place gave us.
