Dining in Carrollton: Gen Korean BBQ House

If you live around the Carrollton area, Gen Korean BBQ is a must-stop!

Essentially, Korean barbecue consists of thin slices of meat rather than thick steaks or racks of ribs. This allows the meat to cook easily and quickly at your table. Many Korean restaurants have tables with grills built right in, while others will use portable tabletop grills for barbecuing. If you're not much of a griller, don't fret: The servers will usually handle the heat, flipping, and cutting for you.

As your meat sizzles to warm perfection at your table, you'll typically be presented with a sweeping spread of side dishes or banchan. The dozen or so extra dishes might be intimidating to the Korean barbecue novice, but once you've mastered the art of banchan, you'll realize there's no better way to enjoy Korean barbecue than with a colorful set of side dishes.
