Pro tip from a LA Korean. You’re allowed to adjust the flame level. Unless it’s a full service kbbq like Baekjong you will always be better served turning it down.
Grew up in the area. They took over the Claim Jumper and have been doing well since. I wish I can bump into you both the next time I'm visiting my family. The reviews are always fun, informative, transparent, and respectful.
Yall did an amazing video! This is my first time coming across your content and I am happily entertained. You did a fantastic job of keeping us involved and explaining what everything was and how you did things and why things were done such a way. I am impressed. Congratulations on a nicely put together blog. 😊
I’m thankful no one got hurt when the flames came up🙏💖. Your videos always brings a SMILE to my face!! Stay safe and I can’t wait for your next foodie adventure!
There are 3 Korean restaurants on one street where I live. I love Korean food. Sometimes when I am by myself I have to say "No ban chan" because I just can't eat it all.
The prices can’t be beat for the value and amount of food, great deal! We have a Gen up here in Sacramento, but prices not as great as in Torrance hehe! Thanks for sharing, it all looked so amazing and yummy!! ❤ Arlene
Hi you two! Thank you so much for this amazing video! I love that you both were very thorough about the taste and how everything was. Gen has another location in Glendale, California and I will be going there this weekend. 😂 Take care love birds! ❤
The price seems really reasonable considering the price of food these days! Plus we got a lesson on how to order and enjoy a nice meal 🎉 Happy Sunday - hope you have a great week!
I love your videos guys! I started watching your cruise videos and got hooked ⚓️ 😜 informative and love how y’all have tons of fun! Alway loving new content! Love from Russia ! 🥰
Good to see this place being reviewed. Been to this Gen many times and a few times a year would schedule a group luncheon or dinner with my friends and co-workers. There is actually a smaller Gen that is near this one too. The pineapple steak is always good and juicy. The chicken is good but takes longer to cook. Somehow I never tried the fried fish that you had but will try that next time.
Another great video !!! Born and raised in torrance!! I think torrance is great for food choices!!❤ glad to see you trying all you can eat😅 looks pretty good for the price!!! I value your opinions of food choices and honest!! 😊😊 bigolgi beef rice from trader joes is pretty good too! 😅😅😂😂 thanks for filming your great eats!!!! ❤
Hi Lisa and Bill, I missed this little gem last week! Was on a fleeting visit staying in Torrance. I managed to get to H Mart though. Love all things Korean ❤😊xx
There is one in Vegas at Miracle Mall. Please visit. It’s the Gen we have been too. We went 1 week ago. Se❤r vice outstanding and food delicious. The rib eye steak was the best meat. The rib eye steak was served whole not sliced and large piece
I like going to Gen kbbq. The only thing that bothers me with Gen is they don't have steamed egg on their menu that I've seen in all the Las Vegas locations. Kinda wish they had steamed egg but beyond that point, I do like Gen
I ate at the Frisco, TX location and it was delicious! We don't have many all you can eat Korean BBQ in Seattle, but Gen is a great place to pig out! 🤪
Hello! Wow! They had grill super fiery hot! Never seen the flames that strong before😮I’m still thinking about the food you both had at Disney!😊Adding this place on my road trip bucket list in case we venture out…thanks for sharing! Stay cool and hydrated!
Do they serve Ssamjang fermented bean paste with it or do you guys just not like that condiment? That's our favorite addition to the lettuce wrapped beef "sandwich." We like to grill some garlic with the beef too. Do they offer that option as well? We also enjoy wrapping the meat in Ssam-mu, a pickled radish paper. We'll be in Vegas next week and would love to go to Gen as long as they have our favorites. That beef belly looked fantastic, BTW. We're older and don't eat that much anymore, so hate to spend a fortune if we're only going to get maybe 4 meat courses. That $28.99 price point sounds great.
very large item list which makes for a fine eatery. one insider trick to cooking at table is to cook small amounts and then into mouth. best right off the grill.
Alohaaa Kakahiaka goodMorning Bill&Lisa Howzit 🏝 Now das da way to do a bonfire🔥 😁 yes dis bbq house is a Ono place to satisfy your grines 👏Great price👍Have a fun Blessed week guys🏖 see yall on da nex one Mahalos 💞🤙
Lower the heat! We went to a smaller Koran bbq place, and they never had to change the grill because nothing burned. At Gen, we always come out smelling like smoke.
Have you guys tried 92K korean BBQ in Torrance? It’s new, the best kbbq in Town. I used to go Gen, no more after 92k. Ban Chan salad bar is a big plus! You will love that place!
Been to that location a few times. The only issue I have is that the worker told us that we have an hour and a half time limit and they were fairly slow in bringing us the food. That's my only beef, pardon the pun, lol
My wife and I love Korean BBQ. But, maybe talk and grill at the same time. We love it when the grill gets char on it. It helps to get char on the meat. And sauce, where are the sauces?? Sauce the meat while it's cooking! (What a bummer the employee put dirty towels all over your food). I would think you would know how to do Korean BBQ. 😮 We went to this place on Saratoga Ave in San Jose CA it was terrible. It was the worst experience we've had at a Korean BBQ.
Probably pollock fish. I've never had KBBQ but that will soon change! Have you tried different Gen KBBQ locations? I've heard that some of them are better than others and I'm curious if you've noticed the same.
1) turn the heat down, you should not need grill changes so often. Your meat should not be burning (or catching fire lol) 2) put more meat on at once so it doesn’t burn. Your entire platter of raw meat should be placed on it!
I was going to ask can you guys do a video on ayce Korean bbq? And there it is. Cool. There’s one in Alhambra . Closest one to my house is West Covina. Less than 5 miles from I live. Cool.
Aloha Bill & Lisa! 🌺 We have 2 Gen Korean BBQ restaurants here on Oahu. One at Ala Moana & the other at Pearlridge. I’ll have to decide which one to go to. 🌺
Yasss , SoBay local! Have not been there but we use to frequent it when it was Claim Jumper ❤. Love that motherload 🍰 they use to have 😂. The Gyu-Kaku next to Gen is pretty good 👍🏾 too.
Watching this while eating a sad apple and peanut butter...I need to get there. I live in Studio City but have been meaning to visit friends in Marina del Rey. I will suggest meeting here instead. Review was on point!
We love going the GEN location in the OC. Its very tasty and it always seems very crowded. Definitely a great deal. My pro tip: Try and eat as much meat as you can vs all the carby foods. But sometimes you definitely gotta have your gohan 😁
First off the food looked marvelous and the service the young man was right there when you had your big fire I have two questions how long have you two been married and the young lady who is with you I forget her name is she Lisa's sister or Bill's sister I hope you have a good day and a great week ❤
You guys need to try Moon BBQ in Gardena. Personally, I like better. Gen do have more options I give them that. By the way, it’s us who ran into you at farmers market on 4th of July 😊
Hello, well everything you ordered looks so delicious we do have something similar to that in Chicago only gold maybe once a year with a group of people is always a lot of fun I really enjoyed your also we did go to Vegas for our anniversary we checked out some of the places you suggested it was very good we enjoyed ourself we stayed at the MGM and I played roulette and won 5 thousand there's a first time for everything how about that🎉
‼️‼️I like how calm you guys were during the fire 🔥 😂 meanwhile the employees was running 🏃♂️ for the lives 😂😂😂
EPIC
Where's this
11:20 for the fire 🔥
@@cupidok27680:25 Torrance
No no it's ok I like my KBBQ well done. Really really really well done. Lol. 😅
I really appreciate how you describe flavors for us. Keep doing these because you guys are informative and entertaining!
Thank you! Will do!
Thank you for the food and travels inspo!! Love your videos Lisa & Bill! ☺️😊 You guys are always having a good time! ☺️
Pro tip from a LA Korean. You’re allowed to adjust the flame level. Unless it’s a full service kbbq like Baekjong you will always be better served turning it down.
Thanks for the tip!
I love the variety of Korean bbq! There's something for everyone, and the food cooks quickly! Yummy!
So good!
Grew up in the area. They took over the Claim Jumper and have been doing well since. I wish I can bump into you both the next time I'm visiting my family. The reviews are always fun, informative, transparent, and respectful.
Thank you for the nice comment. =)
You guys were so calm when the fire started! As always I enjoyed watching the both of you.
Thank you!
GEN is my go to when craving for Japanese or Korean BBQ. There is one in Las Vegas too. So glad to see your reviews on one of my favorite restaurants!
For sure! Thanks for watching!
Yall did an amazing video! This is my first time coming across your content and I am happily entertained. You did a fantastic job of keeping us involved and explaining what everything was and how you did things and why things were done such a way. I am impressed. Congratulations on a nicely put together blog. 😊
Gen operates restaurants in California, Arizona, Hawaii, Nevada, New York, and Texas.
I’m thankful no one got hurt when the flames came up🙏💖. Your videos always brings a SMILE to my face!! Stay safe and I can’t wait for your next foodie adventure!
Agreed 💯💯💯🔥
Great video, the food looks delicious, but that flame was something else! 😱😀
Took us by surprise too!
There are 3 Korean restaurants on one street where I live.
I love Korean food. Sometimes when I am by myself I have to say "No ban chan" because I just can't eat it all.
That price is very reasonable. I may have to try it soon. I haven’t had Korean bbq in years, this is making me want to go try it out again 😊
The grill: 📛🎇🔥🎆📛🧯👨🚒🔥📛👩🚒🧨
Lisa: 😀 wow 😀
The prices can’t be beat for the value and amount of food, great deal! We have a Gen up here in Sacramento, but prices not as great as in Torrance hehe! Thanks for sharing, it all looked so amazing and yummy!! ❤ Arlene
Thanks Arlene! Agreed, great price for AYCE KBBQ!
I love watching you guys! Cheers to you both! 🧡♾
Thanks so much! Cheers!
Hi you two! Thank you so much for this amazing video! I love that you both were very thorough about the taste and how everything was. Gen has another location in Glendale, California and I will be going there this weekend. 😂 Take care love birds! ❤
Thanks so much! 😊
This place looks great. Love the neon lighting !! The options looked very flavorful and tender !! Have a nice Sunday ❤❤🤗🤗
Thanks so much!
The price seems really reasonable considering the price of food these days! Plus we got a lesson on how to order and enjoy a nice meal 🎉 Happy Sunday - hope you have a great week!
Definitely! Happy Sunday!!
That's a bon.....fire at 11:26.😦😉 Everything looks delicious and affordable.😋
Yes it was on both accounts! lol
There is 3 of them in Vegas ! The newest one there is in Miracle Miles mall
I love your videos guys! I started watching your cruise videos and got hooked ⚓️ 😜 informative and love how y’all have tons of fun! Alway loving new content! Love from Russia ! 🥰
Thanks so much, Elena!!
Korean BBQ rules 🤘🏿
Btw - there are two locations in Hawaii too….Pearlridge and Ala Moana…
Y'all know how to do it - hitting up all the good restaurants.
I've seen Gen in Hawaii and a few in Cali as well.
Looks delish! Fire was a surprise. 😮😮. Gen was our go-to Korean bbq place until we recently discovered KOREANA GRILL in Riverside CA.
Wow..
I've never seen a Fire!
Ty for sharing 💓
Love you guys!!!! ❤ we enjoy watching your videos thank you for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
Great price for all of this! Looks fantastic!

Enjoy...never had it before...it looks delicious...have a great week 😘🤗❤
Worth a try!
Hi Bill and Lisa, I have never experienced Korean BBQ before. That food quality looks outstanding and so tasty.
Good stuff! Hope you get to try it one day!
Another great video !!! Born and raised in torrance!! I think torrance is great for food choices!!❤ glad to see you trying all you can eat😅 looks pretty good for the price!!! I value your opinions of food choices and honest!! 😊😊 bigolgi beef rice from trader joes is pretty good too! 😅😅😂😂 thanks for filming your great eats!!!! ❤
Thank you, Beverly! Thanks for the tip on Trader Joe's!
$29 dollars? I’m going cause it’s Da Kine. Aloha Bill n Lisa….
Yeah, good price for AYCE! Aloha!
The food looked really good. Great prices for all you get! Thanks Bill and Lisa!
Our pleasure!
Gotta ask for the Crazy Sauce! It great for dipping or put it on top of the beef brisket while it’s being grilled.
Hi Lisa and Bill, I missed this little gem last week! Was on a fleeting visit staying in Torrance. I managed to get to H Mart though. Love all things Korean ❤😊xx
Been a while since we last visited the H Mart on PCH. Cool market!
Awesome review - Thank you! I have to try this place out next time I'm near Torrance. Is there a time limit?
Thank there was a 2 hour limit. That was plenty of time for us. Thanks for watching!
Oh yeah, 2 hours is plenty of time @@billandlisa! Thanks
Love your channel! My wife and I walk around the house saying "helloooo" lol
Love it!! Thanks for watching, guys!
Everything looked delish 💛
There is one in Vegas at Miracle Mall. Please visit. It’s the Gen we have been too. We went 1 week ago. Se❤r vice outstanding and food delicious. The rib eye steak was the best meat. The rib eye steak was served whole not sliced and large piece
Yes, we've ordered that ribeye steak before, very good.
I like going to Gen kbbq. The only thing that bothers me with Gen is they don't have steamed egg on their menu that I've seen in all the Las Vegas locations. Kinda wish they had steamed egg but beyond that point, I do like Gen
I ate at the Frisco, TX location and it was delicious! We don't have many all you can eat Korean BBQ in Seattle, but Gen is a great place to pig out! 🤪
That's an unbelievable deal for $28.95
Hello! Wow! They had grill super fiery hot! Never seen the flames that strong before😮I’m still thinking about the food you both had at Disney!😊Adding this place on my road trip bucket list in case we venture out…thanks for sharing! Stay cool and hydrated!
Big flames for sure! Was starting to get a bit warm there! lol
Starving...and I've just had dinner! 😂
Lunch is $19.99 before 3pm!
Looks like fun!! Was the fish included? Loved all the options!! 💯🌞🌈🙋♀️
Yes and yes! It is a great price point for AYCE KBBQ.
When you said the fish reminds of McDonald’s I knew I would like it. LOL. Everything looked good though. Thanks for sharing.
Do they serve Ssamjang fermented bean paste with it or do you guys just not like that condiment? That's our favorite addition to the lettuce wrapped beef "sandwich." We like to grill some garlic with the beef too. Do they offer that option as well? We also enjoy wrapping the meat in Ssam-mu, a pickled radish paper. We'll be in Vegas next week and would love to go to Gen as long as they have our favorites. That beef belly looked fantastic, BTW. We're older and don't eat that much anymore, so hate to spend a fortune if we're only going to get maybe 4 meat courses. That $28.99 price point sounds great.
We're not sure. Think you can view the menu online to see if they have that condiment.
We have KPot in Florida. They are also hot pot. I have been to Gen.
I love this place I visited this before and the one in Hawaii.
very large item list which makes for a fine eatery. one insider trick to cooking at table is to cook small amounts and then into mouth. best right off the grill.
There are two locations in Hawaii ❤
We have a few locations here in Orange County! We go all the time!
I’ve been there!
Thanks for your review and tips.
Wishing I was eating Gen Korean bbq right now.
You're very welcome!
Nice 👍🏽 Happy Sunday Bill & Lisa

Could be Basa Swai, it’s so good!
Oh my, beef belly wanted the Benihana sizzle lol. Glad they put that fire out quickly.
Us too! Was starting to get warm. lol
I got beef that sizzles
Now that's a FIRE 🔥
Lower the heat! We went to a smaller Koran bbq place, and they never had to change the grill because nothing burned. At Gen, we always come out smelling like smoke.
🇰🇷 🇺🇸 Hey Lisa!!!!! Hey Bill !!!!! 🔥 🔥 Great vid 👍 👌 Great to 👀 See 👀 you both 👏 👏 👋 👋 ❤ 😊

THIS LOOKS LIKE SOMETHING FUN TO DO 😁. THANKS FOR SHARING, KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK 👏🏼👏🏼😁👍🏼

Hmm.. There is a time limit, but no one said nothing to us about it. Maybe because it wasn't too crowded during the week.

Just opened in Seattle
We got 3 in Las Vegas.
Great video 📹

Perfect timing for this video! lol
Aloha Bill & Lisa! 🌺 We have 2 Gen Korean BBQ restaurants here on Oahu. One at Ala Moana & the other at Pearlridge. I’ll have to decide which one to go to. 🌺
Aloha! Check the ratings on Yelp, then go to the better one. That's what we would do. lol
You need to try BBQ NIGHT on Carson/Bloomfield or Mr BBQ in Fullerton
Thanks for the recs.
I love hot pot but Korean BBQ is what hot pot dreams of being 😍
Yasss , SoBay local! Have not been there but we use to frequent it when it was Claim Jumper ❤. Love that motherload 🍰 they use to have 😂. The Gyu-Kaku next to Gen is pretty good 👍🏾 too.
Agreed, Gyu-Kaku is our choice for Japanese bbq, so good!
Bill said “Hopefully not going to ‘flame on’ like The Human Torch, Johnny Storm…if you know, you know. Lol 😆
Wait…only me?
Good catch, Sue!
Watching this while eating a sad apple and peanut butter...I need to get there. I live in Studio City but have been meaning to visit friends in Marina del Rey. I will suggest meeting here instead. Review was on point!
Thanks so much!
We love going the GEN location in the OC. Its very tasty and it always seems very crowded. Definitely a great deal. My pro tip: Try and eat as much meat as you can vs all the carby foods. But sometimes you definitely gotta have your gohan 😁
Yes, gotta have rice, right? lol
What was the dipping sauce in the middle? It looks like oil?
sesame seed oil with a hint of salt
I love that you guys went there! I've been there bunch of times. It's sooo good.❤
First off the food looked marvelous and the service the young man was right there when you had your big fire I have two questions how long have you two been married and the young lady who is with you I forget her name is she Lisa's sister or Bill's sister I hope you have a good day and a great week ❤
9 years, Lisa's sister, Lesley, sometimes is in our videos.
The food looks great. I do like asian food. Thanks again. Stay safe.
Thanks for watching!
You guys need to try Moon BBQ in Gardena. Personally, I like better. Gen do have more options I give them that.
By the way, it’s us who ran into you at farmers market on 4th of July 😊
Thanks for the rec. And, we remember, next to the French pastry stand, thank you for saying Hi!
Oh yum. Thanks for this vlog. Mahalo.
Our pleasure!
When you go to a Korean bbq, you shouldn’t leave the grill empty. It will over heat and flame up
Love the video. Keep making more
I’ve a gen on chino . The meat looks good. Torrance gen looks bigger.
We love Korean BBQ, but the problem is how your clothes smell afterward-- they go straight into the washer 😂😂😂
As long as you liked it!
Hello, well everything you ordered looks so delicious we do have something similar to that in Chicago only gold maybe once a year with a group of people is always a lot of fun I really enjoyed your also we did go to Vegas for our anniversary we checked out some of the places you suggested it was very good we enjoyed ourself we stayed at the MGM and I played roulette and won 5 thousand there's a first time for everything how about that🎉
Oh wow! Great win!!
