    We ordered the M1 for my husband’s birthday and it did not disappoint! All the meats were delicious and tender, and let’s not forget all of the banchan! Everyone working there was super attentive and so nice. Anytime we needed refills on the banchan they were quickly to replenish and also they helped us cook the meat as well so we can enjoy our dinner. We walked from our hotel and so glad we came into Genwa! Highly recommend.

    Korean BBQ is unique in that you go out to dinner, pay a lot of money, and then have to do the cooking yourself. Still, it is much more like making S’mores over a campfire than flipping your own burgers! The key to KBBQ, IMHO, is the side dishes. Depending on your personal preferences, you might have chicken (or pork) or one kind of beef or another, and that is fine. The meat, to me, is just the vehicle to deliver the creative and tasty side dishes. Genwa Korean BBQ DTLA serves a full array of Kim Chi, Tofu, vegetables, seaweed, etc. Many different flavors, colors, tastes! Some sweeter, some spicier, some harder, some softer, to me … all delicious and why to go to KBBQ! Here, in addition to the main meat and side dishes, you get salad, soup, and a fried rice dish cooked tableside (by the staff, although it did look like fun!) that was, for me, one of the best parts of the entire experience! No, we could not finish all of the food, served generously by the cheerful staff. Yes, we all rolled out of there completely satiated. Yes, we agreed we would definitely go back to Genwa Korean BBQ DTLA (one of the diners pronounced this “the best Korean BBQ [they] have ever had!”). Oh, and although seemingly expensive when you first sit down, when you realize how much food comes — both in quantity and variety of dishes — you realize this is one of the best deals in town!

    Anns and the other staff members were so attentive and made my friend’s birthday dinner so very special. Parking is a bit challenging. I was able to meter park but got there early but my other friend parked across the street for $20.
