A small group of us came in for a business lunch on a weekday… I made reservations prior due to tall their very positive reviews, I thought they might be very busy, but they weren’t. Service was excellent! Everyone who we encountered were sincere and offered amazing service. Their menu is large and varied, all Japanese though. There’s definitely something for everyone, regardless of whether they enjoy sushi or any of the other Japanese dishes. Everything we tried was great and served beautifully! Prices are very reasonable. Food was made with fresh ingredients and tasted great. Definitely would return!

Really nice place, great atmosphere. The place was packed on a Friday night, we had the chance to grab a spot at the bar. We were two and we ordered various plates to share. Service was great, Kevin was amazing, don’t know how he can keep up with making the drinks, taking orders and talking to guests. We ordered the skewers, the gyoza and two different sushi. The highlight of the night was the “lava” sushi, it was an explosion of flavors and definitely delivered. Only thing is that there was a leak from the vent over where we were sitting and we didn’t had the chance to move since there was no additional seats available. Definitely coming back. Great experience.

We live in Japan. And we have moved to America for 2 years now. And have searched for many Japanese restaurants to try but have not found a suitable one. Today we happened to pass by this place and we were surprised because the dishes here taste very similar to Japanese. The restaurant is very beautiful, clean, the food is super delicious. And especially the staff Warren is very enthusiastic and friendly. I love this place. Will definitely come back.

Love this place so much! We were recommended to go and they know us there, at this point. Warren was our most recent server and he was great, but every server has been wonderful. The food is really good and so is the vibe. We started coming after we visited Japan and it's a great alternative if your missing Japan. 10/10

I recently had the pleasure of dining here, and overall, it was an enjoyable experience. The food was good—well-prepared with fresh ingredients and nicely presented. While it was satisfying, it didn’t quite reach the level of being extraordinary or particularly memorable. The staff was attentive, friendly, and efficient, ensuring that our needs were met promptly without being intrusive. The atmosphere was absolutely perfect. The ambiance was inviting and cozy, with tasteful décor and a well-thought-out layout that created a comfortable and relaxed setting. Whether you're there for a casual meal or a special occasion, the environment sets the right mood.

I had such a wonderful experience dining at this sushi place! The food was fresh, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. But what truly made our visit special was the amazing service from our server, Min. He was incredibly kind, attentive, and made us feel genuinely welcomed. Min took the time to explain the menu, offered great recommendations, and checked in just the right amount without being intrusive. It’s rare to find service this thoughtful and professional! Thank you, Min, for making our meal even more enjoyable. We’ll definitely be coming back — not just for the sushi, but for the great experience and hospitality too! (and next time, we’ll try to remember to snap a photo before devouring everything)!

We had a great experience at Genki Izakaya! We tried a variety of dishes which were both flavorful and comforting. The sushi rolls (Lava & Cheesy Shrimp) were delicious, especially the cheesy one that had a great melt-in-your-mouth texture. The Spicy Miso Ramen packed a solid kick without being overwhelming, and the eel skewers were perfectly grilled and tender. The ambiance was cozy and welcoming, and the service was excellent—friendly staff (Special Thanks for Min & Warren for recommending and taking care of us) and quick service. Overall, for the variety and quality of food, it’s a great value for money. Definitely worth a visit if you’re into Japanese comfort food with a twist.
