Disappointing Experience with Gen's Comfort Japanese Menu

I stopped by Gen Japanese Restaurant last weekend, excited to try their new 'Comfort Japanese' menu, but unfortunately, my experience was a letdown. As someone who's gluten-intolerant, I appreciated their use of gluten-free multi-grains rice, but that's where the positives ended. The service was slow, and our server seemed overwhelmed, even though the restaurant wasn't fully booked. I ordered the teriyaki chicken, which was overcooked and lacked flavor. The 'original blend' of rice, while a great concept, was underseasoned and dry. For a restaurant that prides itself on comfort food, the portions were surprisingly small. The delivery and pickup options are convenient, but the no-plastic-bag policy, while sustainable, was inconvenient when I forgot my reusable bag. Maybe it was an off day, but for the prices they're charging, I expected a lot more. The new menu has some interesting dishes, but they need to work on execution and service. Until then, I'd recommend exploring other Japanese options in Brooklyn.
