Gen Restaurant Group, Inc.
A chain of all-you-can-eat Korean barbecue restaurants where guests grill their own meats, seafood, and vegetables on tabletop grills alongside classic side dishes. Two Korean immigrants, David Kim and Jae Chang, founded the first Gen Korean BBQ House in Tustin, California, in 2011, and the brand has since spread to dozens of locations across the country. The name "Gen" is often taken to mean "origin," a fitting nod to the founders' roots and the restaurant's claim to have started the modern all-you-can-eat barbecue trend.

Select a row to see that insider’s individual transactions. Sum of the holdings confirmed in the 12 months before this insider's last filing. A Form 4 reports a holding per line — held directly, or through a named trust, partnership or foundation, and in each share class separately — never a person’s total. Lines not restated in that time are left out and shown apart: an active filer restates what they still hold, so a line they did not restate is more often an entity since renamed, whose shares a successor line reports too. An amber marker means some were left out.
Net open-market activity over the last 5 years: +572.0K shares. Grants, option exercises and tax withholding are excluded — they are compensation mechanics, not decisions to buy or sell.
