Gen Korean BBQ House is the place to go for all-you-can-eat meat. “This place is a carnivore’s dream!” one happy diner shared. “You grill your own meats right at the table, and every bite is hot, juicy, and packed with flavor. The bulgogi was to die for. It was tender, perfectly marinated, and so addictive I kept going back for more (until I literally felt like I was going to pop!).”

They also have many prepared dishes.”
