GEN Restaurant Group reported a 2.7% year-over-year increase in total revenue to $50.4 million for the third quarter of 2025, primarily due to new restaurant openings. However, same-store sales dropped by 9.9% for the quarter, and the company expects continued softness in Q4 2025.

GEN opened 15 restaurants in the first nine months of 2025, with 8 opening in Q3, and plans to open an additional 2 stores by year-end, totaling 17 new restaurants for 2025. The company is considering slowing growth plans for 2026 if the economic climate does not improve.
A new initiative involves the launch of ready-to-cook Korean-branded meats for sale at over 600 grocery locations in California and Hawaii, with anticipated annual revenues from grocery stores potentially exceeding $100 million over the next four to five years.
For the full year 2025, GEN is targeting revenue of $220-$225 million and restaurant-level adjusted EBITDA margins in the 15%-15.5% range.
