False Advertisement: Pcitures in the qr code website are different from what is being served. I ordered the maui strong - nigiri trio (picture below). when it was served, we were given the maui strong - nigiri bowl instead. we told the server that we didn't it the bowl and she stated that thats what we ordered and if we wanted the trio, we would have to order the regular nigiri trio which doesnt make any sense read more

I think her name is Zha Zha Filipino lady she was quite rude at the register to me and my brother kinda like talking down on us. She needs to fix her attitude or make her go home not good for the restaurant environment. Food was alright read more

Ordered the Genki box. But They ran out of ika for my Genki box. So I got a phone call asking what I wanted to substitute it with. That was considerate instead of just filling it with whatever they wanted. read more

02/13/2022 Sunday!! Take out sushi for dinner. Always ordered their fried chicken wings cause it's the bomb. We also ordered Cali roll, kalbi and bulgogi bowl, and nigiri that came with 2 pieces of salmon, seared spicy garlic salmon x2, and unagi. Everything tasted amazing this time around. I must have been hungry. Although, prices of course went up. Happy eats! read more

Genki Sushi - Varieties - Sushi Bars Near Me - Ewa Beach, Hawaii

Affordable and such a variety of choices. Genki will always be my go to when craving sushi on a budget. They prefer the use of the QR code and your order either comes on the track in larger restaurants and by robot in the smaller places, like this one. You have to tap buttons on the track or the top of the robot to send it back to the kitchen. The hostess seats you and gives you your preferred utensils, the "server" brings your drinks and bill. Don't know how I feel about tipping? The regular 15% seems a bit high?! read more

We love Genki Sushi! The prices are very reasonable, and they offer a great variety of hot, tasty bowls and sushi. There's a wide range of different kinds of sushi on the menu. The food is always great, and my kids love going here for lunch. I only gave 4 stars because my daughter went to use the bathroom and she ran back to the table as there was a roach on the door handle. The staff is usually friendly and accommodating. read more

We live nearby to this Genki location and we would happily drive to a further location to avoid the poor customer service and food quality that this Genki has to offer. After years of not going to this location, we thought we'd give it another chance and we again, regretted it. The only word that came from our server was "shit" when we let her know that there was a hair in our food. Won't be back. read more

It's been a while eating out dining in restaurant. I love the way they have separators for each bench. That's a Plus because safety always comes first. Genki was never a disappointment to me until today. I noticed that portions for some of the high ended price items were portioned way smaller than before. It was a disappointment. We ordered chicken karaage and ended up with five small pieces. It was a $5 plate which was a total rip off. Then we ordered a $3 plate , a roll which was made very skinny and not the normal size maki sushi rolls we had in the past. The circumference of the roll was a little more than a kappa maki, lol. All other dishes were good. I love their eggplant fry. I was just disappointed at the price to portion size of some popular high ended items. Service was very excellent. We were seated very fast, or we just got lucky. They were fast with the orders, courteous employees and they were always asking how I was doing. Mood: Full Returning: Of course! Genki , please don't make your customers feel like they got ripped off on some higher ended priced items. Please create the dish as how it looks like in pictures. read more

My 12 yr old loves it and wants to come back with friends. It's a fun place with great prices. I love the small size options so you can try many items. The wait was reasonable with limited capacity, service was fine and safe. I like the idea of colored plates and pricing, smart and makes checkout faster. Overall the food was fine for stopping in for a quick meal. Parking and access are great and typical of Kapolei. It's not sushi I want to have when I'm in the mood for sushi but definitely serving a niche market. I'm not rating it on being a "sushi restaurant" but what it appears to be to me is exactly as they say "modern kaiten sushi" and bringing sushi to the masses. I get it and nice job! The catering trays look very reasonable and a great idea for parties, work parties, holidays or to have out when visitors arrive. (Mental note to remember that.) We will definitely pick up the Bento To Go deals for $7.99 during the week when no one wants to cook or clean. Lastly, I should say the train delivery service and Oahu scenery on it's route was thoroughly enjoyed by this 50+ mom! read more

They've renovated the place, and got robots delivering your food which can get confusing and the times we've been there, the robots came to our table after delivering another table their food empty. So I'm guessing the other table took our foods. Only giving 2 stars because the food is honestly what you expect it to be. Nothing special about it. But the service here so bad. We get seated, get asked what we want to drink. Normally they would ask if we need any wasabi, or ginger but the server we had didn't even bother on asking. We had to ask for it ourselves. Not sure when they started this, but they charge 25¢ if you want unagi sauce, or garlic mayo. The whole 45 mins we were there no one came to check on us. We were so disappointed. Once we requested our check that's when they decided to give us some attention. read more

First time ordering sushi takeout from here but in the past we've dined inside numerous times. I called in my order from the parking lot and it was ready in less than 10 min. We noticed now they're super generous with the poke. It was overflowing with poke. Maybe cuz I heard fish prices dropped since covid lockdown. I liked that they provided hand sanitizer at the cash register. Everyone was wearing masks too. Sushi was fresh and delicious. Got my sushi fix. I seem to always order too much when I do takeout. Now we have leftovers for dinner. read more

If I could give 0 stars I WOULD. This Genki is the worst of the worst. Even after the renovations, the staff is very RUDE, the UGLIEST demeanor and the place is PILAU (dirty for those who don't know pidgin) both staff and business itself. I wouldn't be surprised they spit in the damn food bc GOD FORBID someone gave them a taste of their own medicine with their shitty attitudes. OH & they updated their ordering system, for those who don't know or have trouble with technology don't bother coming here bc orders are through phone/internet only. Thats all, NEVER COMING HERE AGAIN. read more

This is the first time we did a curbside pick up every since this Stay Home Order was put in place. We placed our order online and called when we parked. A staff member came out to collect payment and later came out with our order. I always check our order before leaving and of course one of our items was missing. My husband had to end up going in to correct it. They quickly fixed it and brought it to the car. My advice would be to go over the order at the time in the beginning, but it was no big of deal, I should've of asked. What I do commend her on was how well she sanitized the door handles every time she went in and out. When we got home the quality of the food was as if we were there. I'd recommend them not combining orders in the same containers. With this COVID going around, sharing food is not recommended. read more

I was so excited to try this place especially after the new renovation and the advertisement of the first waitress robots. However the robots gave me anxiety. Although the robots talked it was very loud in the restraunt and hard to hear. The robot delivered part of our order and the sushi was on the first tray. However we didn't know that the second and third tray was reserved for other tables orders so we grabbed those too Upon grabbing the wrong plate of sushi we were scolded by one of the human waitresses. We were not given any direction or instruction from the host or restraunt staff on how to use the robots. Additionally, we were not checked on by the wait staff and often had to waive them down to request extra sauces or napkins. Furthermore the waitress that scolded us for taking the wrong plate of sushi proceeded to reach across my plate and my face grab the plate of sushi and place it on the party's table behind us. Which I found very rude and unsanitary! The service was terrible even with the addition of new robots and the sushi was sub par. Good luck read more

All of our orders were delicious except their Kalbi tempura which was very oily which causes the taste to suck sorry just being honest. Other than that business is good. read more

Genki Sushi - Seasonal Special - Sushi Bars Near Me - Ewa Beach, Hawaii

Genki ewa beach use to be my go to place for a quick fix of sushi. Now they have these robots bringing you food. These new robots have a couple of selves on them and it was a bit confusing because when it came to our table we weren't sure what was ours. One of the staff finally came over and told us the top shelf was ours. We didn't even have time to collect all of our food because the robot took off to go serve another table. I felt it was unsanitary because people are touching food that don't belong to them and this robot up and leave's whenever it wants to. Hopefully they'll figure out a better solution for service read more

The best genki on the island! Sorry Iv been to all of them multiple times used to even work for the company when I was younger for 4years+ maybe. The food quality is just better than any genki I have been too. The service is good, I don't care for the robots I feel it's better to just have the service from the servers. The food and the presentation of this genki shows that they actually care about their work. Everything just tastes cleaner and they seem to have the portions down. May pearlridge is so busy they lack presentation and preparation, just don't like the wait and the service is not so great! Kapolei is just nasty foods nasty service sucks, all the services just looks so lost and like they hate their jobs! Ward genki if they still have it food is below average and can't get no connection in there on your phone! Ala moana is so small, food presentation sucks, always has too much mayo on that shii, service could be better, everyone that works there just stands around! read more

It's been a while since we came to this genki, and now we won't be coming back. Service was terrible! There were maybe only 3 families, and all the tables were open. Once we came in, the first lady that welcomed us just seemed irritated and not friendly at all. Then I clicked the online code to enter us in, and we stood on the side since the outside chairs were all taken. She still proceeded to tell us to go outside twice while she was just standing around. Genki, please do better. This is ridiculous read more

I really hate to give bad reviews but..... Walked in at approximately 3pm so it wasn't busy at all. I was seated but sat there for awhile before anyone even offered water. Workers were not very friendly and definitely not attentive. When my server finally brought water, I figured I may as well put my order in. I ordered spicy tuna and the Hamachi Kama special. After waiting for 13 minutes, I flagged a server down and inquired about the order I put in, at that moment the sushi chef reached over the counter and handed me my order of spicy tuna. Spicy tuna there seemed "dry" and put together very messy! The sushi was falling apart before I even ate it. Finished it up as I was starving and I realized it's been quite some time since I ordered my hamachi Kama so I asked the waitress about it.... she said she'd check on it and be right back. About 3 minutes later she approaches me & tells me that they are out of hamachi Kama. No sorry, no offer of something else on the menu, no nothing! Ok.... 18 minutes later you tell me this??? Talk about losing my appetite! I was so upset I wasn't hungry anymore! Get it together ewa Genki! Ugh. Not sure if I'll be returning to this location! read more

me and my boyfriend had placed an online order at exactly at 7:52pm while they closed at 9pm.. we had arrived at 8:15. yet with no confirmation code to saying they received it so we went in. they said it wasn't ready.. We waited and checked at the online order area to see if our food was ready at 8:35pm.. none. we went back in at 8:57.. only for them to say "We haven't received any online orders since the morning. & to get a refund on the website you ordered on. " yet we ordered on the genki sushi app. This was VERY DISAPPOINTING to say the least. they acknowledged us knowing we had an online order AND waiting 1HR just for them to say . "we stop receiving any online orders since the morning." PLEASE PUT A SIGN UP AND LET ALL EMPLOYEES KNOW WHATS GOING ON. to avoid having customers waiting 1HR for their food!!!!! read more

Great low cost spot to get some decent sushi in the neighborhood! PROs: Lots of cheap sushi that still retains the quality that you want. You have to be realistic and understand this is pretty much a drive through sushi spot, and not an upscale restaurant that charges $20 a Roll for top quality ingredients in its sushi. It's a great place to bring the family and not break the bank. The Tuna rolls are all awesome! Also by not selling liquor or beer it keeps down the cost of this place. Food is always fresh and hot. You get to see lots of samples of food too since this place uses the conveyor belt to circulate around all the seats. CONs: Long wait time usually unless your able to sit at the bar. The food conveyor belt looks like it's well past due to clean all the old food dried up next to it. Sometimes the parking lot can be a little packed. read more

Genki Sushi - Fried Squid! - Sushi Bars Near Me - Ewa Beach, Hawaii

Thank you Genki Sushi Ewa. I had placed a take out order for a 3 platters and went early to pay. Love that they don't make your platters till closer to your pick up time so everything is still fresh. The employee who helped me during check out was very nice and made sure that my order was made when it did. She gave me a courtesy call on my phone because I didn't want to wait inside for it. Ordered the combination platter, spicy ahi and tuna platter. The prices decreased for all of the platters by a few dollars so that was nice. Will definitely order again. read more

It's better than Ahi Vegetables. The rice to fish ratio is perfect and filling. A little too pricey but considering the rise in costs, it makes sense. It's also a family fun place because while my kid can only eat noodles, she loved interacting with the robot server. read more

Better now. They actually don't leave old food on the belt. Service is way faster and friendly. Also I like how chill it is. I know Genkis disappeared mostly after that incident but I still love it. I watched the sushi makers too and they are chill and know what they are doing. Another I like is as soon as they are doing making it they directly hand it over to you. Everything I have is always very tasty and when I ordered hot items it was nice and hot and you could smell the yumminess as they put it down. They never let your water go down more than like 2 sips lol it was great. If you want nice little cheap date or just a bite to eat for cheap and that is fast come hereeee read more

Genki Sushi - Cold and raw French fry found in the middle of all the other perfectly cooked fries. - Sushi Bars Near Me - Ewa Beach, Hawaii

Must have gone in at a wrong time. Even if the place was busy, with people waiting outside. The belt only had wasabi, drinks, and salad Everything had to be ordered. Is this the new Genki format? Even the Kaneohe location had removed their belt. No more grazing while waiting for your order. Lucky menu is unchanged since my last visit, so basically knew what I wanted. In fortunately my guests didn't, and had to go by the pictures. Because of the delay of delivery, they ended up over ordering to prevent the delay between orders. We ended up taking a lot of excess home. Comment was made that next time we should go Kozo or Ninja. Food was still excellent is the reason for the three stars. I (we) dropped two stars because for what we paid and ate. It was more of the convenience of an Air Conditioned place to sit down with water and tea. We really didn't need the leftovers. Error on our part for over ordering. We wouldn't have ordered so much if the lag time between order weren't so long. Will check Waikele next time. read more

Genki Sushi - Spicy tuna bowl(replace rice with lettuce) that's a healthier version! - Sushi Bars Near Me - Ewa Beach, Hawaii

I have lived in Ewa Beach almost 4 years now, and came here enough times to realize it is declining. The staff and the food are not great. The Genki in pearlridge is WAY BETTER. I got takeout yesterday, and it was so bad. I always get the volcano roll, California roll, and spicy tuna. See my pics for what my food looked like when I opened it. Mind you, they handed to me upright, in a bag. I won't be back to this one again. read more

Genki Sushi - Sushi Bars Near Me - Ewa Beach, Hawaii

This solely has to do with their customer service. The food here is always great and enjoyable, I've never had any issues with that. However, I came to pick up my takeout order today and it took a while for someone to come to the front desk. It wasn't as busy as dinner hours but they did have a lunch time rush. This lady and her son came up after me to pay their check and stood in line after me. The employee asked me if I have been helped and I said, "No." And then the lady and her son proceeded to cut me in line and pay for their check. I wish I had said something but I was just in shock, and I'm also non-confrontational. The employee continued to serve the lady without saying anything, as if this was normal routine, and didn't even apologize for the inconvenience or thank me for waiting. Anyway, I don't like writing these reviews but I also feel like there are improvements to be made as far as addressing rude customers like this and serving other customers appropriately. I hope this review makes a difference in how the employees handle these types of situations moving forward. read more

3 stars would be about right for this location. It's in Ewa, same shopping center as Longs and food-land. This ones been here for awhile but we were craving sushi and this was the closest location. Walking inside the place looks run down and a bit old. It has that smell. What was nice was that they still have the good old belt style sushi. It was 12 and lunch time yet the belt was empty ? There was probably 3-4 plates at the most on there. Got my usual favorites from Genki. Everything just had. A weird after taste tho even though we ordered everything fresh. Even the calamari was a bit greasy and was soggy. Service was friendly but not as attentive as we would have liked . It hurt me to put this up but I hope this place gets an upgrade and maybe even a nice renovation like the one in Kapolei. read more

Parking is easy in the Ewa Beach Center where Foodland is located. That could change with Ramen Ya and Applebee opening up. Been here a few times. It's the usual what you can expect, similar to all other locations. I'll come here when I have a craving and don' feel like driving far. All though it does get busy during peek hours, we haven't had problems being seated right away. Staff is on top of their game greeting us as we enter and making sure water is brought over as well taking additional orders. Good to see there were no flies traveling about. Still, I would not pick anything up from the conveyor belt unless I knew it was just placed there. Probably not. There have been a few times where my order, or part of my order, is somehow lost. I'm really getting annoyed with this. It is what it is when it is busy I guess. There are a few times I have to ask for a refill when it's not busy. I try to come after the lunch crowd for a more relaxed atmosphere. I think, but I'm not sure, the quality of the ingredients might be lower than some of the other locations. It's still good but I just don't get that satisfaction I'm use to. Happy it is there to satisfy my sushi craving until I am up to traveling into town or Kapolei. read more

Last minute decision on Monday night to eat out, and we excitedly chose our neighborhood Genki. We made a bad choice. We dined with little roaches, beetles, and some other crawling insects we didn't recognize at table 14 in the far left corner. You know once you are aware of something you really can pick up on it...scanning the room we saw more on the floor crawling under our table and by the ice cream freezer. I'm not one to make a seeing a bug a big deal, but I wouldn't be over exaggerating by saying they have an infestation at the moment. Needless to say we didn't order our usual items and cut the experience short. We let the cashier know on our way out and she said, "oh yeah, we are waiting for someone to take care of that." So that tells me management and owner is aware, yet is still open. FYI if you decide to dine here in the near future... beware, and maybe request to sit in the middle area so you can possibly avoid what we experienced. I'm sad this happened. read more

I got something else while the wife wanted sushi. She said it was a little above average. Nothing to complain about and thoroughly enjoyed her meal, but not really anything to make note of either. Would eat here again. read more

2 stars because the service was blah. I walked in here to pick up my order. It was the only order sitting on the counter. There was a man in front of me taking forever to place a big order, and another 2 adults with several kids waiting to pay. I counted 5-6 workers standing around. I asked one of the employees if I could have my order, which was already paid for online. She thought about it, looked at a single order all alone on the table, and said "no, just wait for him" (referring to the cashier who was currently very busy). I'd have no problem waiting if everyone is busy, but if several people are standing around, why not help out to try to reduce the amount of people standing in line? Especially during these covid times and considering that this area is a tight space. When I finally spoke to the cashier, I simply said my name and he handed me my order. Now how hard was that? Other than that, the food was as expected. read more

I always come here with kids before my volleyball and basketball games in Ewa. I like here because they girls working here are always friendly and service is great! I never need to wait long before someone is ready to take my new order. The food is your typical genki fare. Overpriced cheap sushi. I always get the green bean tempura sushi, corn sushi, garlic ahi, usually order a side of mushroom tempura. My kids get the spam sushi or egg sushi with edamame (soybeans). Kids love eating here and always wants to be the waitress at the end to count how many of each plates we ate. I always am stuffed after eating here and my kids are happy so it's always a good time. read more

Genki Sushi - The end result! - Sushi Bars Near Me - Ewa Beach, Hawaii

Takes forever to get any type of food and not steady flow of food coming and unprofessional

Went in tonight with my family for dinner. There was a wait but it didn't last too long. Maybe 15 minutes at most. Got seated and was greeted quickly and our drinks were taken. We had asked for water along with our sodas and never received the water. We had to ask another server for water which we received right away. Our initial server never checked up on us to see if we needed refills on the soda, instead she was distracted by one table that seemed to be her family. I ordered assorted vegetable tempura and never received it. Waited for about 15 minutes and asked the other server if it was coming and she had to put in the order because the initial server took it and gave it to her family's table. Very poor customer service on the initial servers part. Not to mention that when I was taking my niece to the restroom it was locked so we waited and tried to knock on the door but the initial server turns around from the window and says "if it's locked there's someone inside" with a very rude and sassy tone. My poor niece turns to me and goes "she's mean", so already it was a bad start. The lady Grace had voided my tempura on the check but when it came to the table the other server packed it for us to takeout. Those two were very nice and accommodating which I appreciate. Sadly, I don't think I'll be returning even though I would go there frequently. However I appreciate Grace and the other server for being understanding of the situation and trying to turn it around. read more
