Michelin Guide

"Their high-quality meats are deftly handled by the staff, who intensely marinate them for searing on the grill and then slicing right before your eyes. Servers are attentive and tend to your cuts regularly, ensuring that each morsel has just the right crust. The “Combo A” is a veritable feast for two hungry people and includes perhaps the most succulent galbi in town."

Andrew Zimmern

"If you want something a little fancier, head to Genwa. Genwa is one of the top five Korean barbecue experiences in the country, the perfect place to bring a Korean food novice with its amazing dishes and impeccable service. They’re known for the galbi (short ribs)."

"There's no shortage of excellent Korean food in L.A., but when it comes to the quality of meat and bounty of banchan, Genwa remains king."

Krista Simmons

"Good gracious that's good galbi. Genwa has one of the highest quality selections of meat in L.A., and in a format that even KBBQ virgins can handle. The galbi marinade is on point."

"Our main entree was the Prime Galbi (you may know it as Kalbi Ribs). Prime Galbi is prime short ribs marinated in their special house sauce. You can cook it at your table or have the kitchen prepare it for you (we opted for the latter). The meat was so tender and it sat on a bed of caramelized onions. It was cooked to perfection!"
