    Very pleased with this stop! We stopped here for lunch after the beach. It was busy but no wait at all. They had us order and pay our tab off a QR code and then our food was brought out by a moving robot. They had a nice mix of music playing and the employees were nice. The food quality was 10/10. Everything was priced reasonably. I loved my sushi. I think it's worth a try.

    Though they don't have the conveyor belt sushi anymore since they have renovated, they now have a robot that brings your food to the table. It's cool and we didn't have any issues nor missing orders. The staff were friendly, attentive and welcoming and we got seated pretty fast on a Sunday (dinner time) and after scanning their QR code on their frontdoor. The food was okay, nothing really stood out. I can't remember all the dishes we ordered, and I forgot to take pictures of all of them, but definitely order the Maui Strong Bowl. It's a mini rice bowl with garlic salmon and spicy tuna, and it's part of their Maui Strong Special Menu which is one thing that I really appreciate about Genki Sushi. From their poster, they've donated $85,000 to the Hawaii Community Foundation from August 2023 to July 2024 to support Maui's recovery. I'd love to recommend this place, especially knowing they're giving back to the community!

    I love that this location I put in a massive order and they had made it in the recommended time for takeout and also didn't mess up the order or have anything missing even when there dine inside was busy I'm sure they will see me soon again keep up the good work

    Been in Mainland for 12 years, visiting and Genki in Ewa was our spot ad it was right near the house. Ewa Beach is completely different and our Genki Sushi was nothing like the original back in the day. No conveyor belt which was a highlight of visits in the past, replaced with robots which I found cool- but still miss the endless conveyor belt of sushi selections going around & around. Still use the colored plate pricing. Menu is easy to read, and has so much to pick from. The Garlic Chicken was still delicious, which was a favorite. Overall the rest of our selections were okay. Not as good as my memory recalls, but okay. The Staff is what made our walk down memory lane amazing, everyone was friendly & attentive. The young lady who took care of us was patient, actually took our order without the QR Code hassle which for us older folks can be confusing - LOL She saw that I was fascinated by the robots so she had some of our food delivered by them which was awesome. Wife said creepy, I thought it was pretty cool. She also brought us extra sauce for our chicken without us asking. Food outside of garlic chicken (delicious) was a 3 to 3 1/2, but the Staff took it overall to a 4.

    The ever beach location is just something special as far as customer service. They don't have the fancy carousel or anything like that that brings you your food. But it's the people that work there that are awesome! Thank you for taking care of us all these years!

    I've never understood the logo but it's cute... ish

    First of all, if you're a sushi snob, I'm not sure why you'd be entertaining the thought of dining at Genki. Not trying to knock the food there, but I'm just saying. You won't find award winning omakase here, let's start with that. Especially if you're in Ewa. But now that we've cleared the air, let's get into it. The Ewa Genki has an interesting layout. It was built to feature the belt of rotating dishes, but nowadays it isn't in use, so... now it's just not very space efficient. The servers there are, for the most part, a revolving door of younger high school/college students so although you get the enthusiasm, they're still learning the ropes. But you can take the good with the bad on that because for the most part, we've all been there. When it comes to the food, I have to admit, it's always made well and they feature some good one off dishes. My favorite is the kanikama tempura. I always order it with the sauce on the side because sometimes it over powers the taste of the sushi, but as a condiment/side dipper: Quite good. The agadashi tofu, Teri chicken bowl, tamago sushi and karaage chicken are among other family favorites but by all means, if something appeals to you, I implore you to try it. So do I recommend Genki Sushi? Yes, but do know that some plates have more value than others. So as long as you can find the value you're looking for, you'll enjoy yourself as well. And if not... maybe adjust your expectations a touch? lol Hope to see you there

    Soft shell crab, baked mussels and ebi
    Jenna S.

    Genki updated their menu and ordering system. I honestly don't like having to order from my phone while dining in, I'd rather a waiter take our order. Also, they no longer have somen salad and soft shell crab! I still like Genki, but only eat here because it's right next to my house.

    To rate Genki fairly, I'd just like to preface this 4 star rating with a reminder that this is NOT a real sushi bar, nor do they have sushi chefs preparing your dishes. Genki is more of a fast food type of eatery, that will come in clutch for those days you just want to have a "cheaper" meal with variety. My wife and I frequently Genki a few times a year because they are close to home and they really do hit the spot with the many options on their menu. Our go-to items are pretty much the same as what we get in other sushi bars, with a mixture of freshly prepared nigiri and some dishes from the kitchen. Service here can be hit or miss, but thankfully, this location has implemented the QR code ordering (last year or so), unlike before when they were still a location that ran the traditional table service. This Ewa Beach location can get busy at times, and I usually see the servers doing their very best to accommodate all diners and the load of take out. With the new renovations, more families can be seated at a time, so I'm really glad they decided to make that change! From what I recall last night, the restaurant was packed with 4-top tables; it was bright and quite crowded. Definitely back to life after the shut down of their conveyor belt taking up so much space in the tiny restaurant. If you go to Genki, please don't expect a 5 star authentic sushi experience. Just go for a casual meal of yummy food, and (I believe) you'll leave satisfied. Oh ya and don't get freaked out by the new non-human staff LOL! They got these (malfunctioning) robots now.. kinda funny cuz we witnessed these bots delivering food to wrong tables. I think they need to be retrained! Haha it reminds me of "that one coworker" who's actually trying, but they're just a few screws loose!..... Enjoy! :)

    First time here since newly renovated! We came perfect timing, empty, & apparently we brought the crowd because soon after we started eating it started to pick up with customers! I prefer their sushi over their Ala Moana location! Everything came out fairly quick! Hot & Fresh, so delicious. Of course hubby & I had to get our favorites, garlic salmon & spicy ahi nigiri! My babies enjoyed their fries and chicken katsu per usual. My one year old was shook there was a robot delivering his bowl of rice lol

    Newly renovated. No more conveyor belts. New is the Keenon robot that delivers your food to your table. First, you get on waiting list to get seated with a QR code. Then you order food using another QR code. Drinks ordered/delivered from human server. They're still working out the bugs with the new system. The robot delivered someone else's order to our table. Some people in our party requested to order from the human server to make ordering simpler and easier. Menu appears to be pretty much the same as before but with the addition of some bento options. Robot needs some AI to develop aloha spirit. Bottom Line: Can't replace human touch with Apps and Bots.

    Potato fries, fried eggplant & udon
    Selaina D.

    Fries & udon came out cold. Asked for fresh fries & the just refried the cold ones. Fried eggplant came out looking like it was dumped on the plate. Nothing like the picture. We also got a ebi fry that barely had a shrimp inside for $6 There's no reason for it to looked like they're rushing the order. There was only 2 of us & 2 more other people in the restaurant. If you're paying that much $4 for fries & $5 for udon you'd at least like them to be hot. Please do better Genki!!

    Spicy tuna

    Almost every weekend I get spicy tuna. It's usually very good. Last weekend it was bad, dry, old tuna no tobiko! I was hungry so I ate it. Thought it was just a one time thing. Just got it again and even worse!!! Even though I'm hungry, I can't eat it! Old tuna, dry, no tobiko, no taste, really bad!!!

    Ikura, kanikama
    Cheyrelle S.

    Haven't been to this place is several years. Wanted to see how it was after renovation and with their new robot. Probably short staffed, but why did I wait 20 min for 3 small plates. My son wanted tekka maki and kanikama (imitation crab).... I decided to get myself an ikura nigiri as a little snack. Very upsetting to open it up looking like this piece of sh**. I wouldnt have waited 20min for a basic tekka, crab meat, and ikura if I dined in, right?? Pearlridge and other locations never take this long. Terrible. Only priority is the people dining in I guess. I'll keep it at 1 star from 9 years ago. :(

Service was a bit off. We arrived around 8pm and there were only a few tables seated, but the host seemed confused and it took a while to get us seated. Our server also wasn't the friendliest, just not the most welcoming or confident vibe. When we asked what fish was included in the course, she said she didn't know and just reassured us it was "good quality," which didn't feel very reassuring. We ordered the Sushi & Hand Roll Course (about $50 per person), which is actually a pretty good deal for the amount of food and slightly upscale feel. It included seasonal fish crudo, 9 pieces of chef's choice premium sushi, and a choice of two hand rolls: we picked shrimp tempura and spicy crab. One downside was the spicy crab hand roll used imitation crab, which was disappointing since that wasn't disclosed and we assumed it would be real crab based on the options given. Also, before we ordered dessert, our server told us the kitchen was already closed. Totally understandable, but there was no heads-up or last call, which would've been helpful. We still ended up getting the black sesame panna cotta, which was actually really good. Overall, the food was decent and the vibe is nice for a date night, but the service could definitely be improved.

To put it into perspective, there was a flash flood warning during a storm this week and I still drove 40 minutes just to pick up takeout from them. That's how worth it this place is to me. The portions here are insanely generous, especially for the price point. You get so much food, and the quality never feels compromised. The fish is consistently fresh, flavorful, and well prepared, which is why I keep coming back year after year. Their service is also incredibly efficient. You can tell this team really knows how to run a tight operation. They stayed open and adapted throughout COVID, and that ability to pivot and keep things running smoothly still shows in how quickly and reliably they handle orders today. If you wanna sit inside, I urge you to come towards open or with the expectation to wait a bit. You sign up on the clipboard outside and wait patiently. The good news is that they turntables extremely quickly. Places like this are rare--great food, great value, and a team that clearly cares about what they're doing.
