Gen Korean Bbq

Me and my g/f stopped by this afternoon for lunch, we were seated without a wait and were quickly greeted by our server and got our drinks ordered, I got water and she ordered strawberry lemonade and was told refills were not free (no problem I'm already paying $25+ per plate) the price of 20$ on Google is absolutely incorrect, conveniently. We ordered the all you can eat meat, we were immediately greeted with dirty utensils (see photos). Told the server and he took care of it, was brought shrimp we never ordered, server took care of it again. After cooking several portions they swapped out our grill with a new dirty grill (see photos), server apologized and took care of it again. To top this all off I'm watching another server fill containers of sauce and putting lids on them, she drops 4 or 5 on the floor, looks around picks them up and starts putting them over containers. It's kinda gross no? On top of dirty utensils and grills it rubbed me the wrong way with this place. So, for $25+ a plate with food I ultimately cook myself, the 2 stars are for me. Clean your restaurant up and stop price gouging customers with sub-standard food. Nobody wants to pay $75+ for anything remotely like that. The broken dishes my utensils were served on is a nice touch too. You get what you pay for right?

Quick Summary Very much enjoyed the AYCE Korean BBQ at this Gen location. Service is a hit or miss, but it really comes down to how busy they are (e.g. weekends are hectic so a bit harder to find your server, but they're always really fast with food deliveries). Food quality is pretty good. It's a pretty well-run chain location Food- 4.5 stars Food quality is pretty good for $30 Korean BBQ AYCE. It's a hit or miss sometimes, because some dishes can be slightly too sweet. But otherwise, you really can't beat the quality at this value. Service- 4 stars If it's a weekday, it's fantastic. But sometimes weekends can be difficult, where you have to hunt down your server Parking- plenty of street and lot parking Bottom Line Fantastic AYCE Korean BBQ experience. It's a popular and successful chain for a reason. Love the Yelp waitlist check in. Just try to avoid busy times to get the best service

This place has 30 options for their Regular option which is more than I’m used to getting. There wasn’t a higher tier option but with the amount of choices I had, I don’t feel like one was necessary. The list includes seafood options of shrimp and octopus which I usually see on other restaurants top tier option. Staff was attentive and friendly. I liked that they had a grill case to carry the hot grill they removed to protect customers when walking about but at the same time some seemed a little lax with how they handled them. Did have an issue splitting check in two

It is THE korean bbq place in oxnard. 30 items on the menu, $26.99 per person. Meat was good and our server was attentive. Only thing I’d mention is when checking in on Yelp, you still have to check in with the front desk staff, wait another 15-30 min, then be seated. Plan ahead when going in a group.

This place really put me in the tough spot to write this review. My husband and I came from LA county and we might be used to with real Korean bbq in Korea town,That’s why this place quite a disappointed. First of all the ban chan or side dishes,That was the first things suppose to be on the table with varieties of yummy veggies,pickles,salad,kimchi etc. doesn’t matter you’ll eat all of them or not because that’s How Original Korean people do when they eat Korean bbq but with this place you’ll have to order those side dishes with your server,They’ll not bring it unless you ask for,Which I have never experience this in any Korean bbq place I’ve been to.I understand they might try to save cost by not wasting those left over side dishes but it’s just not How Korean bbq place suppose to be. Meat quality was not great but wasn’t bad either,I would give them a OK quality.The most disappointed item I would have to give it to “Thin Slice Beef Brisket” Though.Normally when you put this kind of brisket on the grilled it would almost melted and when you eat the texture should be soft and melted into your mouth but the brisket here was tough and chewy,Which this was my first time I had a slice brisket that was this hard. Another things I have to talk about was the tofu stew soup.They serve in a small bowl with a plastics spoon just like what you get from a cheap buffet.I have never seen any Korean bbq place does that! It will usually serve in a hot stone bowl,So it will remain hot for a while but the soup taste wasn’t bad,It’s was another a OK again. The best things on this visit was staffs,They are all so great! Make sure we got what we want,Grilled had changed as much as we want,Every time someone walked by they’re always make sure we’re doing ok,Love it! So the stars was basically for the service. Overall in my personal opinion,This place wasn’t a great or awesome Korean bbq but it’s wasn’t bad either,It was OK. Will we come back for a second time when we’re in the area? We’ll have to think hard about it.

Try their new drink!!! Apparently their Lychee one tastes better 👀. The pork belly was great and the bulgolgis marination was bomb but the brisket beef wasn't the best Shout out to out server Socractes!! Service and wait time were pretty good but the benches we were sitting on wasnt fully cleaned before sitting down 😭

Food was good atmosphere good. My one complaint is only because I’ve never been before, I had no idea how the ordering and quantity worked. I would have liked to see the server or hostess explain how it works, what can be ordered how many of each if applicable etc. four of us and only one was an adult that ate only a gyoza appetizer and it cost 175.00. I didn’t say anything because I wasn’t sure what to say.otherwise a fun new experience!
