Genwa Korean BBQ (Mid Wilshire)

This is now our overall favorite Korean restaurant. Beef kalbi was very tender and flavorful. The mackerel lunch special was a very generous portion - and it was the tastiest mackerel that I’ve had in years. Parking inside the building (entrance on Mansfield) is free during the day on weekdays.

Great service, good meat, quiet place on a Saturday night. Paid $250 including tip for some beer, green tea, and course A for 2 people.

My wife and I came for lunch and we loved our experience here! The service was amazing and they were so nice. They brought us so much banchan and it was so fun to try all the different flavors. The galbi here is such high quality and the most tender galbi I've ever had. We're planning to come back with our family and friends!

The galbi is a standout, and the wagyu options are worth the splurge if you’re feeling indulgent. Everything cooks beautifully, and you can really taste the premium quality.
