Genwa

Genwa is part of a pack of places that serves higher-quality beef, such as Soowon, but breaks ahead of them with its staggering array of consistently good banchan. It sets slightly west of the Koreatown pack, a dining room that will make you feel more polished and upscale than your typical Korean barbecue dining.

The team expertly prepares their high-quality meats, marinating them for searing on the grill and then slicing them right in front of your eyes. Servers are attentive and regularly attend to your slices, ensuring that each mouthful has the perfect crust. The "Combo A", which includes a spicy kimchi soup, thinly sliced bulgogi with all the fixings, and possibly the most delicious galbi in town, is a true feast for two hungry folks. The banchan display, which includes steaming vegetable- and pork-filled mandu, as well as japchae, is similarly impressive and must be eaten to fully appreciate the kitchen's abilities.
