If you’re looking for a top-tier Korean BBQ experience in Mid-Wilshire, Genwa continues to set the bar high. The location is sleek, comfortable, and perfect for both casual dinners and special occasions. Parking can be a little tight in the area, but once you’re inside, you’ll forget all about it. The service here is consistently excellent — attentive, friendly, and quick to help with the grill or refill anything you need. Genwa is known for its incredible banchan spread, and this location doesn’t disappoint. You get a huge variety of side dishes, all fresh, flavorful, and constantly replenished. It’s honestly one of the best parts of the meal. The meats are top quality — tender, well-marinated, and rich in flavor. 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. Yes, it’s on the pricier side compared to more casual K-BBQ spots, but for the level of service, quality, and overall experience, it feels justified. Whether you’re bringing friends who are new to Korean BBQ or you’re a longtime fan, Genwa Mid-Wilshire never disappoints.

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.

One of my favorites....excellent food and customer service. The let you sample and bring to your table lots of small dishes and you can get refills......Meat quality is very good, and the service is impeccable. Complementary parking in the structure or you can park on the street near Coffee Bean. I highly recommend.

This place. I hate to admit that it is good. The food is good. The banchan is good. It's just insultingly expensive and I'm afraid to say that as good as it is, it is not worth the money. For 2 people, we split one of the 2 people sets, a bottle of soju, corn cheese and a dessert. We each paid $150. It was just mind boggling, especially for not all you can. The corn cheese was great but small, and it was $20. The dessert was the most insulting. It was literally a choco pie with some mid ice cream at $15. Again, the food is at least better than average quality. But yeah, avoid - go to K town, get something equitable for less.
