Staying at the Marriot just across the street, me and my party of 6 came here to eat dinner. When we entered, there was no wait—it seemed like we got there right before rush hour—and so we were quickly seated. For the price of ~$55-60, there were so many options, which were all included in the price. We were told that there was an ordering limit per order, but it wasn't really enforced. We ordered meats, appetizers, and some sushi. One thing I will say was that the quality of the meat wasn't the best. The thinly sliced wagyu especially, which felt like a scam. Besides that however, it was still good to some extent. They didn't have any bottles of oil available (or any butter), so we just put the raw meat onto the grill. At one point, the whole stove seemed to have caught on fire which seems like a total safety hazard (I was about to catch on fire!) I really enjoyed the bugolgi tacos, which were loaded with meat. The speed of the service did seem quite slow, and one time half of our order didn't even come out! Surprisingly on the menu was ramen. It was just instant ramen served in a bowl, but you could add toppings to it. I didn't try the handrolls, but apparently there were really bad. The sliced raw meat was better apparently, but i'm not really a sushi person. The food was really a hit or miss, but I was quite full by the end. One thing I need to address is that it was really smoky in there. The vents didn't seem to work well, so it felt suffocating. The bathrooms were clean though, which is a nice plus. Overall, this place feels like a tourist trap and to be cautious when eating here.
**⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing experience at Gen Korean BBQ Las Vegas!**
The food quality was excellent and so fresh — everything tasted like it was cooked to perfection. We had a large table, plenty of room for us ( and they served Liter Bottle of San Perellgrino 😝, and the selection was fantastic. Prices were very fair, especially for being right on the Las Vegas Strip.
A special shoutout to our waiter Gavin, who was incredibly attentive and helpful throughout the whole meal. He made sure we had everything we needed and really added to the experience. Highly recommend — we'll definitely be back!
Kind regards

An unforgettable dining experience! Beyond amazing service!We had an absolutely incredible dinner at Gen Korean BBQ House in Las Vegas! If you are looking for top-tier meat, great energy, and a fun interactive dining experience, this is the absolute best spot on the Strip.The All-You-Can-Eat selection is fantastic—the meats were high quality, thinly sliced, and marinated to perfection. Cooking everything right at the table is so much fun, and the variety of side dishes (banchan) was amazing.But what truly made our night unforgettable was the service. We were lucky enough to be served by the most wonderful, kind, and attentive person. Their hospitality was unmatched! They guided us through the menu, anticipated our every need, and took such genuine care of us throughout the entire meal. It’s rare to find someone who cares so much about making guests happy, and it completely elevated our night.Phenomenon food, legendary service, and an unforgettable vibe. We will definitely be back. 10/10 highly recommend!
Ive practically tried most of the gen bbq and id say this is my least favorite. Its supposed to be the best bc of the sushi menu added but thats what disappointed me. The sushi rolls were so mushy and just too much green onion on every roll. The carpaccio was good but thats it for the sushi selection. For the 60$ price point I would never recommend this place.
The flavored meat was not flavored. The beef belly was too thick and the only decent meat was the skirt steak. What really saved this place for me was the ramyan. It was flavorful either bit I just added salt and it was fine.
Save yourself some money and just go to the other gen in Las vegas.
Josh our server is so energetic and was very efficient in serving us. He always had a smile on his face even though the restaurant was super busy. He was dashing around like an energizer bunny. Thanks josh for the great service, keep up the great work!
