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. read more

My sister was in town and she loves sushi, the owner of Gen Sushi privately messaged me to give them another try since my first visit wasn't the best visit! We were greeted immediately and sat down, we ordered the house roll, shogo roll, * I can't remember the last roll, whoops*, spicy wontons, Thai ice tea and Apple Soju. The gentlemen working was very kind, and warned us that the soju is high ABV lol, which we had a bad week so we wanted a high ABV! Our rolls came out before our appetizer, but nonetheless the food was great. Service was much better than before, although we did not receive a check in to see how the food is or if we needed anything else. Everyone even said goodbye when we left, which is always appreciated. I appreciate the owner taking pride in their establishment and trying to make things right. I'll be back read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Food is great tasting and always fresh. My go to place for great sushi and bento box.

Rode here Thursday on my Harley. Been a few years since i have been in this town. 1st time here to eat and i was blown away. Huge pieces of hamachi and huge unagi. The creamy scallops were suppose to be spicy. Sadly they weren't. I had a seaweed appetizer. And a soft shell crab roll that was delicious. Small place but they have heated outside patio seating. Staff were great and friendly. Enjoyed very much and i will be back. read more

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! read more

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. read more

This is the second time we've eaten here during a trip to visit family. It's consistently solid! This time we also ordered their chicken lo mein and it was really good! My kids loved it. The rolls and nigiri were great as they were the last time. The Gen roll is particularly delicious. Great portion size too! It's likely going to be our ritual to have dinner here on the day we arrive each trip. read more

Incredibly impressed with the quality of the fish. Similar to what you'd expect in LA or San Diego. With that being what it is, these prices are unbeatable. The service and friendliness of the staff made this a lovely luncheon out with my husband. I love that they have the fans blasting outside because even if it is deathly hot in the summer, sometimes good old dry heat hits the spot. So good. read more

The food is always delicious, and tastes so fresh! Customer service is great. This is our favorite sushi restaurant in Clark County.

Amazing food amazing services. I took my Dad to dinner there for his birthday it was an amazing night amazing service! Enthusiastic waiters. Very in tune with our needs. Delicious food. I especially love the Smoked Eel its a must try and my favorite menu item. Their back patio facing the bustling life of Battleground and the fresh air and delicious smell of BBQ with the soft glow of the indoor lights makes it so one can see the stars at night. read more

I really like this place. I got an offer to go on a Saturday night. I got like four rolls and they were delicious and huge. They were also very fresh. The total was $55.96 for all 4 rolls. I looked at my bank account the next day and noticed I was charged $68.96 and I was like WTH. I called them the next day for and explanation. The lady told me they got my bill confused with another bill. She said she would give me a $20.00 credit next time I come in. I told her No!!! I wanted my cash back as I am not too sure if I will be back or not. She said she would have to talk with her boss. A couple hours later the boss man called and said I can come back and get the cash back. And he even gave a couple extra dollars as they could not just credit my cash back on my debit card and I had to drive back to the restaurant. He was really nice. I really like the sushi there and will go back. read more

Gen Sushi is STILL just as awesome as it's been on every visit! I won't rehash more here, but Gen is TRULY a gem. We want to try dining outside on our next visit as we noticed that there is very nice lighting and heaters over every table, as well as some charming Halloween decorations. Staff is unfailingly attentive, friendly, professional, and just great! Regardless of how busy they are, they always get your order out very quickly, and it is always a work of art. read more

Great food, excellent service! The Blossom roll was great. Miso soup very good. Very friendly staff:)

I am writing this review because I just had sushi somewhere else. Gen sushi has been my go to whenever I'm home but I travel a lot so every once in a while I'll have sushi elsewhere. Yesterday I got some sushi in Hawaii and it was good but I was somewhat disappointed. That's when it dawned on me that Gen Sushi is THAT good. It competes with truly traditional Japanese restaurants and I can't seem to find something even close to the level of quality you find there. It is frustratingly good!!! I'm upset for even have found it because it ruined sushi for me and I can't get some the same quality and service anywhere else. I definitely recommend but beware you'll be ruined for life. read more

Fantastic sushi spot. The staff were all very pleasant and friendly. Loved the outdoor area with space heaters, quite nice. We enjoyed our delicious lunch. read more

Very confused on the rave reviews of this place. The food was at best mediocre, although the staff was very friendly.

Honestly, the service was just so welcoming and competent I don't know how I wouldn't enjoy this place. We were seated in an inside booth but the outside looked nice as well. We mostly ordered rolls but next time my spouse vows to have more nigiri. Me, my palate for fish isn't that refined. I have had some Michelin star sushi/nigiri/sashimi more than once and honestly, I prefer a roll with some tempura. It is about the texture for me. Anyway, I'll definitely try their sparkling sake next time. read more

Another great meal, with matching service. The selection is very good and well prepared. Atmosphere is nice and clean. We always come back! read more

A group of us made reservations, wise as they were very busy on a Saturday night. Got seated and started off with a couple of appetizers, their calamari and tempura shrimp, both were excellent. For dinner we had several sushi rolls from their basic list and from their premium list for a total of 6 rolls. All of them were top notch and a delight to the tastebuds. We also had some norimaki, all the ingredients were very fresh, delicious, and generously proportioned. The staff was attentive and polite, adding to the pleasure of the evening. I highly recommend Gen Sushi for a wonderful evening with great food! read more

The place is amazing, customer service just spectacular and the food is phenomenal! What amazing owner and workers truly love this place! Very kid friendly and accommodating! read more

Gen Sushi is great! We recently moved to Battle Ground from Seattle and have missed our local sushi spots. Gen has been a great find down here -- it's now our go-to local sushi restaurant. The servers are so professional and kind. Special shout out to Victoria. She's personable, easy to talk to, and very helpful. The spot is cute, too. And they have AC, which is a must in the summer. read more

Nice outdoor area, with plenty of toys to keep the kiddos entertained. Music is at a nice volume, not too loud but good for background and ambiance. The miso soup is always a good indicator of things to come and it did not disappoint. Rice noodles (vegetarian) is great. Noodles are not your standard noodles and are authentic. Sushi is fresh and delicious. They're very accommodating to my shellfish allergy. Favorite sushi restaurant in south Washington. read more

Best sushi in town! We absolutely LOVE Gen sushi. The food is always delicious, the place is always clean and the service is outstanding.
