The old Tsukiji Fish Market space in Ala Moana Shopping Center now has a new tenant called GEN Korean BBQ House. GEN is one of the largest all-you-can-eat Korean BBQ chains in the United States and they have created a somewhat hip, vibrant yet comfortable space that is sure to be a big hit with Honolulu diners. The all-you-can-eat format allows you to eat for up to two hours. You can order as much as you want during this time allotment. The only rule is that you can only order four meat or chicken dishes at one time. Once they are finished you can order more. The price for dinner is $26.99 which is a real bargain if you are a meat lover. The meal includes salad and a variety of Korean vegetables and rice. On weekends, only the dinner menu is served during lunch. The service was pretty bad with the waiters not really explaining the concept or rules clearly. Our waiter just walked up and said "are you ready to order". I watched the couple next to us and learned that you can order a variety of sauces to go with your meats. As the meats arrive, you simply take the large pair of tongs and place them on the burner. Cook until done. There is a pair of scissors on each table that allows you to cut the meats into smaller pieces. We couldn't eat the meats fast enough and ended up taking them off the grill and placing them on a plate. This was a lot of food and it was good. Like the flavors of the dishes ordered with Spicy Sauce. There is so much on the menu that we did not try because we got so full after just ordering one round of four meats. Definitely need to go back here again when I am super hungry and craving meat.
