Pho Mama

The first time, the food and experience were a good time. It took the group a few meat selections until we found our favorites, which were beef Bulgogi, pork belly, and short ribs. They have a waiter that keeps the grill changed regularly, so it is not so charred. There is no fried rice option, steamed rice, and three sauces to add additional flavor. It's definitely an experience to have again and again.

The price is very expensive, you can’t be sat down unless half of your party has arrived, which I find weird? I do like that it’s extremely cold inside, they change the burners pretty often and prevents the food from getting burnt. The meats they use look very nice and marbled. After a while, they stop coming to your table to see if you want any other meats. They’ll take at least 15 minutes to go back and check on how you’re doing. I don’t like all the small kimchi plates they provide, I personally think it’s a waste to give them out to everyone. I went with 5 other people, and only 1 or 2 of us actually ate it. The side of rice they give us is really mushy and cold, I don’t know how anyone could eat that. One last thing, who eats salad at a Korean bbq? The only thing that bothered me, is that once again after a while they stop checking up on you and they limit how many plates they bring you. If I’m paying $30+ on a meal and have a party of 6 why am I being limited on how much I can eat? I’m a broke college student so when I’m going to have a feast, I want to have a good feast.

Nice, americanized Korean BBQ place. The meat is seasoned well. Smoked pork belly was good, my bf said pork riblets were good. Bacon was alright. Got fried calamari, but it was just very fried for me. Service was a little lacking. We had a party of 4 and one pair of tongs. We kept trying to ask for another pair, but it took a long time to get it

Came into town really late and was lucky enough that this place was still open. Made it into the waitlist and waited about 30 minutes to be seated on a busy Saturday night. I got the usual: brisket, pork belly, and beef belly. The servers were very attentive, and were very frequent with the grill changes. Throughout the entire dinner, the server kept coming back asking how we were doing and asking if we wanted more meat. Great service, great food, and I'm glad Gen exists here in Texas because I have always loved the one back home in LA.
