Shihlin Taiwanese Street Snacks Opens at SF Stonestown Galleria | Eater SF

"I learned that 2540 W. El Camino Real will reportedly become the Mountain View home of Gen Korean BBQ House, the chain’s sixth Bay Area location. The place is described as a clubby, new-school, grill-it-yourself Korean barbecue offering all-you-can-eat beef, pork, noodles, and more, with some fusion elements like Hawaiian-style steak and cajun chicken." - Caleb Pershan

Best place to enjoy a good meal with family and friends. Service is amazing, food comes out fast and servers are very aware of your needs. Diana and David are so friendly, they take great care of us and even remembers our orders. They are a great example of amazing customer service ! You get 2 hours for all you can eat and let me tell you . . It keeps going until you can’t eat anything anymore ! You leave full and satisfied for your k bbq needs. A must try is their crazy sauce, you’ll be hooked! Stop by and try it, you won’t be disappointed.

Do not upgrade to premium, it’s really not worth it. Check my pictures to see how a"premium" beef would look like. Also, their premium beef tastes bland, just like plain meat with no aroma at all. They also often run out of certain items. Today they didn’t have beef tongue, which they should have told us before we upgraded, but they didn’t. It feels like they’re trying to scam customers, so please beware.

First time AYCE KBBQ solo! I was traveling for work was craving meat after the gym and decided to give this a go. I was a bit worried about some of the reviews that said service was super slow. I didn’t have that problem though. It was semi-busy, but they did seem under staffed. However, it was clear my server David A was hustling to cover as much as possible. Despite him being very busy, he was polite, friendly, and professional, and moved with a sense of urgency. So, I didn’t experience the slow service that others have written about. I ate quite a bit, and I bought the premium AYCE dinner. Honestly, it’s still mind blowing what you get for the price here. There are some meats that are better than others, so it does take some experience to know which meats are a waste of time and stomach space, but once you know what you like, the value you get for the price especially in this area of CA is hard to beat. Leaving here happy and full. Thanks

Went for lunch on Oct 13 which is a Columbus Day holiday. We're told that they charge dinner prices for the holiday and pointed us to a handwritten cardboard notice on the counter. It's fine with us but then they told us they don't have shrimps and other meat items. Bummer, we have to walk out after driving 30 miles.

First time at Gen last night with my daughter. Saturday 7 ish. We were seated quickly, within a few minutes (no reservation as you can’t make one with a party of less than 10). She wasn’t a fan of the smokiness inside, and I agree that there can be better ventilation. We had the premium menu because we wanted to find out what we like and don’t like. For me it wasn’t worth it as we’re not big fans of t-bone to begin with and the wagyu was mid at best. It didn’t help that it created a flame that burned my fingers. Better instructions would have been helpful. Salad was terrific, one of my favorite salads immediately. Kimchi fried rice was excellent and full of flavor. Pickled sides were tasty. Ramen was very good (we have ramen regularly). Steak squares were our favorite protein. Marinated carne asada was a close second in proteins. Best of all was the service. Orders always came quickly. From the moment we were seated, and particularly Bryan! Empathetic, attentive, great suggestions, sincere in caring about our experience. It was his service that made any of the negatives irrelevant and 5 stars. We’ll be back, and we’ll know better what suits our tastes.

One of the best Korean barbecue place price with quality. I would highly recommend it. I don’t know why people giving low stars. Maybe the service is mediocre, but most of the time is fine. Otherwise everything is great. I’m here for the food instead of service. Nonetheless, I would highly recommend it.

Quite a long wait to get seated but once you get seated the servers are ready to help you out. You can order 4 items in one go and if you’re trying to get the most bang for your buck when you’re almost done eating your round you can already order your next round. I like the blue lights inside the restaurant it’s nice vibes.

This place stands out from the other Korean BBQ places I've been to. The atmosphere reminds me of a nightclub. Seating was spacious and comfortable. My preferred beer was out of stock, so they comped me some hot sake for the trouble. Staff went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we asked for. At the time of visit, they were swamped with guests and had us seated in less than 15min. Every cut of meat I tried was tender and of quality taste. I had just about all the beef and pork cuts I can order. Stop by if you're ready to eat mountains of great tasting food.
