Company Overview

GEN Restaurant Group, Inc., operating as Gen Korean BBQ House, is a restaurant operator specializing in an all-you-can-eat Korean barbecue dining concept. The company offers patrons a hands-on grilling experience with a selection of premium meats, seafood, and vegetables cooked tableside, alongside traditional Korean side dishes and beverages. Gen Korean BBQ House locations feature modern décor and a fast-casual service style designed to appeal to a broad demographic of consumers seeking experiential dining.

The company’s restaurants serve a core menu of marinated and non-marinated proteins, including beef, pork, chicken and plant-based alternatives, complemented by signature banchan (side dishes), sauces and dessert offerings. In addition to dine-in services, Gen Korean BBQ House provides takeout and delivery options for its most popular items, adapting to changing consumer preferences for off-premise dining.

Headquartered in Irvine, California, GEN Restaurant Group was founded to capitalize on growing consumer interest in interactive dining concepts. The chain has expanded rapidly since launch and, as of mid-2023, operates a network of locations across the United States, Canada and select international markets. The company completed its public listing on the Nasdaq under the ticker GENK in July 2023, transitioning from a privately held growth platform to a publicly traded entity aimed at funding further domestic and global expansion.

Led by Chief Executive Officer Chris Oh, the management team focuses on site selection, operational automation and menu innovation to drive profitability and enhance guest experience. Looking ahead, GEN Restaurant Group intends to broaden its footprint through a mix of company-owned restaurants and strategic partnerships, targeting both metropolitan and suburban trade areas to capture continued demand for Korean barbecue dining.
