Genwa Korean BBQ

Genwa Korean BBQ: Seeking to satisfy a deep craving for bi bim bap, we suffered rush our traffic for dinner here. An elegant dining room, if a bit small. Free parking in the garage in back. Very pleasant wait staff. The food was good, though it ended up being a bit "finer" than we were looking for...not comfort food, but rather going-out-to-eat-food. The sizzling bi bim bap was mixed at our table for us, and was maybe a bit lacking in flavor. The seafood and vegetable pancake was great, but the accompanying hot sauce was somewhat lacking in flavor. The myriad appetizer/sides ranged from forgettable to excellent. The Vavo brand ginger ale was excellent, gingery but not too sharp, and sweet but not cloying. For a finisher they brought around a very sweet, cool tea (with a pine nut) that was great. And all for ~$40. A great deal, but I'm not sure I'll go back anytime soon. Looking at the other tables, the shabu shabu was very popular.
