Servers are very knowledgable and friendly. Our brisket was very lean, and before our server put the meat on the grill, he was asking if we want to change it to a little more fatty part. And He did it for us. You get what you pay for here.

This is the BEST Korean BBQ spot in Los Angeles! I stand by that whole heartedly! We don't eat Korean BBQ anywhere else, but here! It's not AYCE, but the meat is quality. The service is excellent and the food is delicious! It's on the pricier side, but it's worth it. Five stars!

One of my favorite Korean bbq places to hit up in LA. It's pricey, but that's expected for the amazing quality of food. I would always come here with my sister when we lived a block away; we would usually split an order of the beef brisket, bulgogi, japchae, and kimchi jjigae. Genwa hits the spot and packs in great flavor, you can tell that the meat and vegetables are fresh. It's the perfect weekend dinner treat. Service is always great, servers cook for you and are frequently checking in. Dining room is clean, spacious, and provides plenty of seating for parties large and small. It's a trendy restaurant that is all vibes, is cool and hip.

The homie and I had some Korean BBQ this past week at Genwa and had a good experience. We went with Course A for $125 which was a lot of food for two people, and added on a can of 7-Up that ran us $6.50. This came with their Galbi and then a choice of a few meats - we always do Chadol baegi - thinly sliced beef brisket. The galbi was stellar but the chadol baegi was a bit lacking in natural flavors, and def needed dipping. It also came with their salad, chapchae (the best I've had in LA so far, actually), spicy tofu soup, and dolsot bibimbap (I always love the crispy bits best). Their presentation is so nice and neat, lining up all the banchan in a circle around the fire. Service was nice and attentive most of the meal, as well. I think my main gripe is pricing with a bottle of soju at $24, corn cheese at $19, edamame at $14.50. It's a bit much. At similar prices, I'd rather do Park's, Chosun or Mun, eek. I swear I'm not trying to be a hater, but I do think 10 years ago, this was THE place to get Korean BBQ. I think so many prime meat places now exist in KTown, that Genwa is still prime - but towards the bottom of that list.

A la carte kbbq is pricey but great for any special occasions. Genwa is a great place for such occasion. The interior is not too bright, not too loud, and feels classy (just look at that picture of the setup!). I love that there are a ton of side dishes for you to sample, and then you can always ask for more of your favs. However, disappointingly, I did not love most of the options. Maybe there is something to be said about quantity vs quality there, but it is also highly subjective. We chose to individually order dishes, rather than do the courses because we were not in the mood for bibimbap and some of the other set options. We did bulgogi, brisket, pork belly and seafood pancake. The meat is fresh and yummy. The serving are prompt with cooking and checking in on us. I wish they asked us more questions on how we liked to cook our meat. I like a crispy brisket so I would put my meat back on the grill to help get that char. The seafood pancake was good but incredibly filling. I would recommend it for either two extremely hungry individuals or in a group of 3+

A more upscale KBBQ experience! There's a lot of construction on Wilshire near here so it's a pain driving. They do have a parking garage next to it as well since street parking is not really feasible at the moment. Perfect for a date night! Recommend doing the A Course for 2 instead of doing all-a-carte. You'll get a good amount of food! The banchan was really good and they had so many options!! They cook for you also so you won't need to worry about doing it yourself. We went with the bulgolgi and galbi and were really happy with the quality. Overall great service too and would come back for a special occasion or another date night!
