    They didn't even enter that we were seated
    Diane W.

    Biggest disappointment. Loved coming here with my kids in the past ( in Kapolei). Joined the wait list through the QR code outside, and got only one update about our wait status (31 minutes later)...as well as watched people leave, so we walked in and there were several empty tables. Hostess said they were dirty and we waited another at least another 5 minutes for them to clean a table. Waited at least another 5 minutes or so to order; expected a server to take it or at least direct us to use the QR code on the table,, but no one even came by. NO customer service the entire time, no checking if we needed anything except when we first sat down and asked us for our drink order before looking at the printed menus on the table ( another reason we were confused regarding ordering / QR code usage). Our food was just ok; nothing special and obviously premade as the sushi came out rather quickly. The only good thing was the robot bringing out two plates, but even that required staff to reset, so not sure why they're even needed. Then to pay the bill/- tried to do that on my phone too, but it said to see my server, and that was another 5 minutes or so wait to get any one of them to our table. Not sure if service would have been better if I was not a haoli here... Just saw my wait list status has me as a no show-- even though we face them our name/ waitlist info when we entered the place ( not calling it a restart this point). Bottom line/- run from this place and save your money-// or better yet, buy the poke at Foodland in the same shopping center ( like we did)-- but eat it at the beach or a park instead.

    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! :)

    Keenon robot

    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!!!

I've been coming here since they first opened years…read moreago--back when I was still in high school--and it has stayed one of my all-time favorite sushi spots on the west side. 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. I'll always make the drive for Sushi Bay, and I genuinely hope they stay open forever.

We arrived right at opening (11:00 AM), and there were already a few parties waiting, which felt like a good sign. We were seated immediately, and the staff was friendly and attentive from the start. Our server quickly brought over water, wasabi and shoyu dishes, along with kiddie plates and utensils, which we appreciated. Ordering was easy -- you can either use the tablet at the table or scan the QR code with your phone. The food came out fast via conveyor belt, and the kids loved the fun semi-self-service sushi experience. The portions were generous overall. I'm a huge uni lover, so I was a little disappointed that the uni gunkan wasn't as full as I had hoped, but everything else was solid. The standout for me was definitely the chawanmushi -- I was pleasantly surprised to find scallops inside. It was rich, savory, and packed with umami. The poke bowl was also huge -- definitely big enough to share so you can save room to try other dishes. Overall, we had a great experience and would definitely come back if we're in the area again. In my opinion, the quality was noticeably better than Genki Sushi and worth the higher price!
