What you didn't know about Gen Korean BBQ House.
Gen Korean BBQ House reflects the Korean barbecue tradition known as gogi-gui, a style of dining centered around grilling meat directly at the table while sharing dishes with friends and family.
This approach emphasizes communal cooking and conversation. Alongside the grilled meats, Korean barbecue restaurants serve a rotating spread of banchan, small side dishes such as kimchi, pickled vegetables, and seasoned greens that balance the richness of the barbecue.
