    Photo taken too late! Full belly's and empty plates.
    Ali K.

    We decided to go out for some sushi this last Monday evening after some Pickleball and it was absolutely phenomenal. The ambience outside on their outdoor seating area was super cool, the moment we walked in it was pretty packed even for a Monday evening, which is definitely a good sign. Once seated, service was excellent and very quick. This is never happened to me before, but we actually got treated with some free chicken, gyoza dumplings that were so delicious, they had such a great ginger sauce on them and it was such a treat to get gifted these from the restaurant. Don't know if they made extra or what, but that was so unique and kind for them to treat them to us that I will definitely be recommending all my friends and family to come back. It's always a good sign when plates are empty, and bellies are full! Recommend the Vegas role, double shrimp roll, spicy salmon roll, and the lion King (Table favorite!!)

    We sat out on the patio area which was a comfortable, cute, and clean space. Inside it seems a little more tight as the inside is pretty small, so I would recommend the outdoor seating. All staff was kind, helpful, and efficient. The sushi rolls were all pretty average, but good. I forgot to take a photo of the calamari before we started eating it so you get much more than that on the plate. Calamari was fine as were the long bao. My favorite was the seared salmon nigiri.

    This is in reply to the business owners response. I tried the restaurant 7 months ago and they're just now leaving a reply to my 3 star review. I'm glad they cater to the demographic in their area, I guess. That's very telling actually. Lol. I'm glad they pay their workers fairly, etc. but that doesn't address actual health hazards (room temp sushi or fruit flies) nor does it address watered down alcoholic beverages. Do better. Don't sweep things under the rug. I shared feedback. Kind of only have two options. 1) Fix the issues and don't bother replying.; 2) Or receive the feedback and say you're going to make it a priority to step up your game. Rambling about fancy spots vs not isn't the point. You don't have to be fancy to serve bomb sushi/dishes. I wasn't judging it as fine dining. Everyone in the greater Vancouver area raves about this spot and I find it mediocre (as I've eaten sushi my entire life and lived in predominantly Asian areas for a good 30+ years). Either way, good luck in 2026.

    I've heard a lot about Gen Sushi but never had the time to make my way there or just forgot. Today I finally got the chance to try it and it did not disappoint. I've been trying sushi within the area and this is my favorite restaurant so far. As soon as we stepped in around 4pm on a Saturday, we were greeted and seated right away. We only ordered sushi, but they have many other options for those not a fan of sushi. Honestly, I'm use to waiting for sushi to be made when a restaurant has multiple types of food on the menu, but we got our sushi made around 5 minutes. And everything was so fresh!! Amazed by the time and super happy with the food lol The service is great. Each person that stopped by our table were super nice and efficient. I would say we got seated, ordered, received our food, ate and checked out under 25 minutes. My partner and I love dining in restaurants, but we also love when we can be in and out. This isn't very common in non-conveyor belt restaurants. The restaurant itself is Japanese themed and feels authentic. It's a smaller restaurant but they have a covered patio to seat more guests. Overall, I was super impressed and can see why their ratings are so high. I hope to be back soon.

    Food is amazing, super delicious. Ambiance is quiet no many tables inside and they have some tables outside. Service is excellent, people is nice and kind.

    Very good quality sushi and definitely the best in North county. All of the rolls are spectacular. Also, love the soup dumplings and gyoza. Their homemade fruit teas are super refreshing. Dinner rush is busy every night of the week, so expect a wait for a table. The only reason I didn't give it a 5 star is because service is also fairly slow; had to wave a server down to ask about a drink, then later for more napkins and finally for some boxes and the check. To be honest the menu is worth the slow service. Family friendly environment, and not too loud. Definitely recommend this Battle Ground gem.

    Warm hot miso soup yummy

    I went to Gen Sushi in Battle Ground with a friend and really enjoyed it! Parking was easy. When we came in the place is clean and welcoming. We were greeted right away and our table was reserved. Everything we tried was delicious sushi, warm miso soup, and mochi ice cream for dessert. Also loved our cocktails that tasted like strawberry starburst and also the fun drink that you open with a marble. Such a nostalgic touch! Our waitress Victoria was friendly, attentive, and provided excellent service. The whole staff is really friendly. Definitely recommend and will be coming back soon!

    The service is AMAZING and the food was great. Big portions and prices aren't too bad. Went there with my family and it is really nice inside. The workers will always chat with you and make you happy inside. The place is very friendly and positive.

    Gen sushi is a must when in battle ground and craving something fresh and filling! Their sushi is beyond satisfactory, coming from someone who works at a top rated sushi place I've got to say this is some of the best sushi I've ever had! On top of that the service was exceptional, Victoria provided amazing attentive friendly service with no complaints! The patio is a beautifully quaint place to enjoy a meal with friends or family. Couldn't recommend more!

    Tried Gen Sushi for the first time tonight. We were seated fast, service was speedy, and the atmosphere was welcoming. All the workers went above and beyond to provide a friendly positive experience. The combination of all these things and the great tasting sushi will keep us coming back. I hope more people will come check this place out.

    Things I liked: Friendly staff and good service Clean booths and and restaurant Lots of outdoor seating for nice weather Portion sizes were great Easy parking Areas of opportunity: For a Japanese/sushi restaurant I was expecting a little more Japanese food. Usually sushi restaurants have bento boxes that you can choose from a variety of options. They did not have that here. I was slightly disappointed at that. *** This is a good place to come if you want sushi rolls. Portions are good and food tastes great.

    Have been here a few times while trying to find my go to sushi restaurant. Each time I have gone the service has been incredible. Super nice staff and amazing sushi. Great environment with comfy outdoor seating great for families. Will be coming back again!

    First my review

    05/03/2026 Food: 1/5 | Service: 0/5 | Atmosphere: 2/5 I got to see the comments after 2 months. I wouldn't even know that this long comment was posted if my friend hadn't told me about it. You guys were kind enough to leave a comment, but it hurt my heart even more. It's amazing that the Battle Ground branch has 4.9 stars, but most of all, I was angry about the culture, taste, and aggressive commenting on the residents of Battle Ground, so I corrected the comment again. We really pride ourselves on being a place where you can bring the kids and just have some "comfort food" sushi. We're also big believers in taking care of the people who take care of us, which is why we hire our neighbors, pay good wages, and give back to the community whenever we can. We know we might not be the "fancy" experience everyone is looking for, but we hope to stay a reliable local spot for you. We'd love to have you back for a casual meal anytime! --------They commented like this, and it sounds like the taste buds of the people of Battle Ground are cheap. P.S. Out of curiosity, if the food is 1/5, service is 3/5, and the atmosphere is 2/5, wouldn't that average to a 2-star rating? No worries, just a thought as I'm looking at it from a numbers perspective, and we respect your opinion. --------I paid to eat it, but the taste of the food fell a lot compared to the price. I don't expect authentic Japanese sushi. I feel that it is a casual restaurant in every aspect of appearance and interior. However, I think the taste should be satisfied basically. Since it is called sushi, I can feel the taste of other countries too much. The basis of a restaurant is to give one star, just as it is in taste. If there was a zero star, I would give it zero. First review (below)-------------------------------------------------- 03/03/2026 The food didn't taste good. I like sushi, so I enjoy everything from cheap to high-end restaurants, but no matter how much sushi roll it was, I didn't get the feeling of Japanese food. Sushi rice was also hard because it was old, and the amount of rice was large. The sashimi was also inexpensive. I thought the sale price was high by comparison. The sauces provided also had a strong scent of Chinese food. If you love Japanese food, I don't want to recommend it. The servers greeted me kindly. I didn't receive any particularly friendly service. There was a lot of chatter among the servers, and it was a very distracting atmosphere. The outdoor tables were even more hectic as servers came and went. They even took water and spilled it. If you want to eat quietly, I don't recommend it.

    Salmon, hamachi and unagi nigiri. Gen roll, spider roll and caterpillar roll.

    It was another conversation with The Wife about trying something new for dinner. We agreed on sushi…read morebut did not feel like the usual conveyor place or the other popular local chain. Out came the Yelp App and she checked for something new. Then she muttered, "Joy Sushi?". It read great, and she told me where to drive to and I asked, "That mini mall where the Megabyte is?" (a place we took our son when he was younger) So I pointed the Yelpmobile toward a nondescript mini mall. Joy Sushi is close to the little gas station and next to a Pho place (not sure if they are related). When you walk in, the place has a clean feel to it. Workers moving about from table to table and at some tables sushi was being serving on wooden boats. Cool! After being seated we were given menus which were complete with all kinds of appetizers and different kinds of sushi. And it wasn't just the usual rolls and nigri, although some classics were there, newer reimagined rolls were available. Quite a few had jalapeno, which isn't really my Wife and my bag, but you can ask for it to be omitted. Our order was served on a cool little boat! The rolls were noticeably larger in diameter than what we were used to. They tasted very fresh; the flavors burst across our taste buds. We were very happy with our new discovery. We will definitely be returning.

    BESSSTT seared salmon nigiri I've ever had. This is my second time here and I couldn't stop…read morethinking about it since the last time. Ordered several of their rolls and from favorite to least here are my picks of the ones I've tried: red dragon roll, Hawaii roll, rainbow roll, joy roll, Waikiki roll. Also the rolls are ginormous. I've only ordered to go both times I've bee but the staff has always been friendly in our quick interactions and food always ready on time. Highly recommend!
