TimeOut

Genwa Beverly Hills

 

After our wonderful experience at Genwa on Wilshire we found out that they opened a branch on restaurant row on La Cienega.  Fellow L.A. PuristS will recognize this spot as the former Woo Lae Oak restaurant many years ago and just a few buildings north of the famous Lawry's Prime Rib.  The menu is very similar to the one at the original location so it was easy to order.

As noted on the previous post, the grill is slightly different.  This one does not have the charcoal but the good thing is that they also have the venting system built into the grill.

That super variety of banchan is present at this Genwa too!  They whip out a bunch of tasty dishes for you to sample.  The Korean pancake was very good as was the seaweed and kim chi.

I'm not a big fan of spicy stuff but they make it so it is not too spicy.

The beef here is as good as the other location...

The marinade they use is too!

Time to get to grilling!

Since we have more peole to join us for this visit, we got a Bimbimbap...a rice dish that is made on a cast iron skillet.  It has slices of veggies and thin cuts of meats that they mix up:

Cold Noodles is a Korean BBQ must have dish so wee tried thier version.  Good but there are other places better.

This time around they serve a sweet rice drink for the complimentary dessert:

What looks like marshmallows is actually a handtowel!  They add hot water to it and it puffs up!
