Gen Korean BBQ House

Thank you Eater for including our Houston location in their recent article covering the 16 best local restaurants! 😋 "GEN is one of Midtown’s best spots for groups that want an active hand in their dining experience. 🍴Guests will delight in the abundance of banchan – or vegetable side dishes, while also grilling their own choice of protein, like pork belly, beef bulgogi, or spicy calamari – right in the middle of their table. Pair your feast with a draft Sapporo or pick from a list of GEN's cocktails, which include bottomless sodas and mocktails for those skipping the alcohol. Weekends are sure to get busy, so call ahead for a reservation." GEN is proud to have over 40 locations that offer guests a memorable and uniquely fun dining experience!
