One of my go-tos for fast food sushi. I was at Alas so decided to do take out for lunch for me and Baby. Did online ordering so was easy. Got a Tuna Handroll Temaki, 2 orders Spicy Ahi, Salmon Kama and Salmon Bone. Holy moly the prices are crazy now. $6 for tuna salad temaki. Nothing I got was cheaper than that. - Temaki had choke onions which I liked, so that was good. - Spicy ahi didn't have much of their mayo sauce on it. - Salmon Kama came from the world's smallest salmon. Was tasty otherwise. - Salmon bone was ok. They need to salt it a little. Workers are nice but definitely no sense of urgency. And my Hot Salmon was closed up in a bag with my cold ahi. I feel like that should be part of Day 1 training. Hot and Cold go separate. Separate. SEPARATE. I don't know if they are trying to save money on the bags, but I rather it not even be bagged than have my raw food being steamed. Food quality seemed to have declined. And prices have sky rocketed. read more

Make sure to reserve using their QR code or online if you're craving sushi from Genki. I ordered baked spicy stuffed mussels. I think they should cook it a little longer as the stuffing tasted like it was added from the chopping board. The mayo flavor is good. I also got their spicy tuna. It's okay...I think Kuru Kuru is better and are more generous with their topping. The fried calamari is yummm! This is fried well with light batter. It is perfectly seasoned! The agedashi tofu is a must to have. They fried it with light batter and topped with lots of seaweed and green onions. I think they should add a little umami flavor to the stock... I like how the food is delivered to you. It comes from the cook and straight to you. This minimizes the contamination. The service can be revisited as there is definitely room for improvement. For instance, I am eating and the staff started spraying a cleaning agent 2 chairs away from me and I felt the liquid on my hand. It's a good thing I was just about done with eating. Cleaning and sanitizing the area is GREAT but please consider that you are spraying a chemical on someone's food! Please add care when doing so. I'm sure the chemicals that you are using are not edible. Thank you for reading my review. This is not what I was expecting after years of not coming here. read more

In Ala Moana Shopping Center, 2 floor by Sephora and Target Wing. I suggest going earlier to avoid the Lunch and Dinner rush. Lunch before 12pm and Dinner before 6pm. Make sure your ALL of your party members are present. There is a waitlist QR code outside their door. Since I went after work on a Saturday the wait time was about 10-15min and I was 7th in line. Service was quick with water and green tea. There is another QR code you scan for the menu and to order your food. Easy Peasy. At this location, depending on what you order, it can come out quickly, but most of the time it can take a while. I'd rather just put in an order of what you want first so you can keep the flow going. My experience was decent, it's like every other genki sushi on O'ahu. However, when I went I felt that the rice was a little mushy and undercooked. It was nice and warm but the rice to fish ratio was a little off. The fish, fresh, the nori, crunchy and toasted, but the rice.... It kind of ruined it for me. Anyway, that doesn't stop me from coming back, but it was just this time, it wasn't it. read more

Genki Sushi - Menu 8/3/25 - Sushi Bars Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Genki Sushi is very much not worth it. The fish isn't very fresh and the price is not worth it at all. It's a conveyer belt sushi place where you order using a QR code. We ordered a little bit of everything to try it out. The waitress was nice, hence the reason this place wasn't a 1 star. 6.50 for 2 pieces of ahi tuna sushi that wasn't fresh with a mediocre amount of fish was pretty frustrating. There are so many better places to get sushi around Hawaii for cheaper and better quality. The space is small and with even a small amount of people gets very loud. Everything looks outdated... Will not be returning, not good at all.... read more

Genki Sushi - Join the wait-list online! - Sushi Bars Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

What's the purpose of having a wait list if other party get to go ahead I came by myself and they sat 3 tables. Ther now closing in 15mins and they told me last call this is bull shit How much sushi would I know to order if I haven't even started eating yet I wouldn't even know if I was full or not or I'm gonna overorder and pay for extra fish. It's gonna sit there. It's common fucking sense. I'm done eating. That's when I'm done ordering its sushi. So rude to rush your customers out not only not see them when they're needed, but then to rush them out horrible service. read more

Ala Moana is fairly clean. Service was good. Hey-- It's Genki Sushi. It's mass produced sushi. Rice is exactly the same. The unagi was paper thin and really small. The tuna/ahi wasn't that bad, but they were strangely shaped and slightly bigger than the unagi. The tamago was better than Kozo's, but way smaller than a real sushi place. I get it. They are trying to save money because they have so many workers in a chain gang wrapping seaweed and fish around the rice machine's rice. The rice was actually not bad. But there is no consistency. Every fish piece can be different. But it was OK. The best thing about my meal was the pumpkin tempura which was 4 bucks and more pieces than I expected. They at least got that part right. It wasn't worth the nearly 50 bucks I spent, but I knew what I was getting. If it was 30 bucks, I would have liked it more. You want good sushi? Go to Ahi+Veg. Or a regular sushi place. You want fast and still not that cheap? Come here. read more

Genki Sushi - Sushi Train Tracks - Sushi Bars Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

In Ala Moana, Genki has one of a few locations around the island. This location is by Tanaka Ramen with parking adjacent to the restaurant. We have been a few times over the last few years and it has been pretty consistent. The interior feels the same as it did many years ago at Genki too. It is brightly lit and simple inside. The service is quick and friendly, which is nice because there is sometimes a wait. We got the ebi fry roll, spicy tuna bowl, ikura, and keiki set. All were good and flavorful! Especially the bowl. The prices are not bad either. Definitely worth a try, if you have never been before. read more

If I could give them a zero, I would tonight....actually negative. We came in ordered a oshinko maki, poke bomb, and a salmon karaage. The first two came out ok. The last we been waiting over 20 minutes for. I was told sorry we are busy. There was like 2-3 other small groups in here that didn't seem lien they were waiting for food. Then waiter tells me they are short staffed. I go to look in the back and there are 4+ workers joining around not doing anything but f'g around. Terrible!!!!! This was a 1 but the manager accepted the short comings and comped our meal. Thank you for doing that. read more

Genki Sushi - Sunrise Roll - Sushi Bars Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

The food was really good and the service was nice. Although my mom got old brown lettuce from her salad as you can see in the picture. And we rang the call bell two times and the waiters/waitresses didn't come when we rang it we had to wait for our udon to be delivered just to get chopsticks and straws, compared to the one we usually go to the unagi is pretty smaller than the pearl ridge one. The atmosphere was pretty nice too it's just a bit too cold for me and my mom but it is not as crowded as the one we usually go to. The view is nice but I wish there were windows so us people in the back could see a view too. I would say only go here sometimes but not all the time only if you are really dying for sushi at Ala Moana. Enjoy Genki Sushi!!! read more

Genki used to be so popular, and my family and I used to go every so often. Sometimes I go alone on a whim. I always regret it. The prices just don't stop increasing, it's insane. Everything is so over priced, and the portions get smaller. Completely not worth it. read more

Genki Sushi - Sushi (egg) - Sushi Bars Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

My past two recent times I've been there has been terrible. Both times they forgot items I ordered. One time I waited so long I asked to get it off my bill, paid, and left. I waited at least 20 minutes. The most recent time they missed over half my order. I waited for over 20 minutes as I watched other tables get their food. Even tables that came after me had left before me. I finally asked one of the staff that my order was missing and IF it hasn't started being made, I'd love to cancel it and pay. It came out within 2 minutes even though I requested to cancel it AND no one came to talk to me after that. The lady just walked past me like nothing happened. Very bad experience over all and I'll never be back to a Genki Sushi. I don't wish this upon anyone. read more

We took our granddaughters to Ala Moana Genki sushi.....the wait was not very long, 15 mins. The sushi was nice and fresh, actually loved it. However the restaurant was a bit noisy and it has no ambiance. However, the sushi was wonderful and the kids loved the trains. We ordered the salmon with onions, ika nigiri and the maguro......to me, the ika was the best I had in a long time, it was soft and buttery, had to order double orders. We will visit them again. read more

I am a Genki Sushi fan. I will come here when I have a longer lunch break and savor the garlic salmon. It's not the finest sushi, but it's definitely not bad. I can always get a seat at the bar because I usually come by myself when I crave some sushi. The staff recognize me and are usually very attentive. It's clean and fast. Prices have gone up over the years, but they have everywhere on the island. Again, I would recommend the garlic salmon and would not recommend the uni. read more

I have been dining at this Genki location for years. This is the place for reliable, affordable and quick sushi. Usually, it gets pretty busy here. So be prepared for a long wait. There's a QR code on the door to sign up for the wait list. I agree with some reviews that YES, over the years, the prices have increased or portion sizes have changed. I'm sure to catch up with inflation. (As defined online: Inflation is a decrease in the purchasing power of money, reflected in a general increase in the prices of goods and services in an economy.) The workers have always been pretty friendly and helpful towards us. They are always on it for refilling my water. To order there is a QR code on a receipt given when seated. You scan that to access the menu and place orders. No iPads currently. The food arrives on the train. I like that they have changing special items. My current favorite has to be the Seared Spicy Set. It's a tasty offering of shrimp, ahi and salmon with seared spicy and mayo sauce on top. The fried items are crispy and fresh. Depending on how busy it is, sometimes there's a longer wait for take out orders. But my food is always packed securely! :D The wasabi, shoyu and pickled ginger I ask for are always there. No complaints. This Genki is genki-ing pretty good :) read more

"The hole in one's heart gets filled by those that care about you..." - Naruto Kyra K. and I love trying new Boujee places but sometimes we turn down the volume and we're okay with familiar spots. Genki Sushi is one of those spots where we know the menu without overthinking and know that fresh Sushi will be in our chopsticks stat! So maybe it's not Sukiyabashi Jiro in Ginza, but hey what Genki Sushi lacks in ambiance and premium grade, it makes up with affordability and efficiency! This location at Ala Moana Mall checks all the boxes for expectation imho. In fact, my typical 3-stars Genki Sushi will be bumped up to 4-stars simply because they had all the "black plates" on the menu! Other locations have failed in this simple request! My lovely bestie been wanting to treat me to a black plate courtesy of a gift card she had, we tried previously at the Kapolei location and nope nearly zero "black plate" offers. If you're wondering it's the higher end choices for Genki. Ala Moana had it all! Typical Genki Sushi: put your name on the list, wait in line, get seated at the counter. And if you've never been it's conveyor belt Sushi. Place orders, wait for it, take plate, inhale lol. Our name is called and once again the Sushi angels are on our side as we get the end again. Bestie already got her Nigiri in sites, for me it's a longer minute... but first, but first the black plate! I chose Unagi Roll as my "black plate", Unagi Nigiri, & Avocado Maki (stop laughing at me, bestie lol). And yes, I need my Avo... it's a Cali thing :D Bestie orders her Tako Nigiri, Tamago Nigiri, Salmon Nigiri! Dig in! Genki Sushi at Ala Moana Mall goes way back with me as this is perhaps my 10th visit. All previous visits here were pre-covid times. So maybe it's not Sukiyabashi Jiro in Ginza, but if you just want fast, fresh, and affordable... Genki Sushi it is! Arigatō Kyra K. for treating me to Sushi night & that elusive "black plate!" read more

Three and a half stars. I remember being more impressed with the food few years ago. I don't come often at all but I used to love the spicy ahi. Now it doesn't taste the same and it's not as tasty. Strange. I do love the service, always. Team members are always happy and helpful. I noticed that the big change is in the ordering, which I find fantastic. You order through your phone and the food comes speeding through on their Shinkansen trains. It's pretty smart and efficient, however I wonder if you can still order the old way through a person if someone if elderly or doesn't have a smart phone. I dunno. The place was crowded and that's great. The tables get cleared out right away and people are in and out. The restaurant is busy but you don't feel rushed or pressured. I like the experience. read more

prices have gone up way too much for genki to be worth it anymore. it's a good place for fast sushi but you're paying a premium for the speed when the quality of the food doesn't match. hard to believe it could be $35 per person here for the kind of food you're getting. it's fun to get your food delivered by the train but then, why would you pay for a tip when there's no service? the tea I got had bits of white things floating in it, which one of the staff said was the tea leaves. I've never seen white tea leaves before though read more

Stopped by around 11:30am on a Monday. Just a 5 minute wait after checking in and sat at the counter. I always enjoyed Genki Sushi. It's a simple concept. Mobile order and boom here comes the food on the train track. =) I miss the days when there were sushi dishes going around and I can just pick. But cleanliness and health comes first. Don't want any breather on my food. It wasn't busy and my food came rather quickly. For a party of 1, I ordered ika geso, agedashi tofu, spicy tuna, garlic salmon nigiri and hamachi nigiri and paired it with hot tea. Ika was hot and fried nicely, and the agedashi had a light crisp just the way I like it. Though the price had gone up a bit but it's a easy in and out for lunch. read more

I dined in here with a friend a few weeks ago on a Tuesday. Almost everything we ate had hard rice, even the regular white rice. They were not that busy but we had to keep asking for things, they weren't really checking up on us. We ordered two garlic ebi's in the beginning and did not get the other one until we were almost done, despite asking them about it two times. It shouldn't have taken that long. They have a few signs advertising military/senior/student discounts Sunday through Thursday. We asked the young guy (his name starts with an H) about it and he said they weren't doing it. We said but that's what the sign says and he said it was Thursday through Sunday (that is not what the sign says). read more

Genki Sushi - Sushi Bars Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

I go to this genki sushi during weekday lunch. Been eating here several times a year all my life. It's always a consistent experience when I go. The quality of the fish and the sushi as a whole is great. I enjoy how fast the food arrives and the staff are always attentive and look around to see if I need anything. Genki is the fast food version of sushi so if you go with that attitude and don't expect Michelin star sushi or service, you should be pretty happy. My favorite dishes are the ones pictured, the Seared Spicy Salmon Nigiri (not spicy at all) and Garlic Salmon Nigiri are really unique sushi full of flavor and worth a try if you don't know what to get. The only reason I can't give Genki 5/5 stars is because they used to be known for being very affordable but now their prices are constantly going up. But all in all, I always know I'll get quick and delicious sushi here and they never let me down. read more

New way of ordering: bring your phone. U scan QR code they place on your table and you order directly from there. It still comes out via conveyor belt. Prices have definitely increased, rice and fish portions decreased. The salmon and spicy ahi were not worth the visit today as the last visit (a month ago) the amount of fish was extremely skimpy. I had tuna salad which was ok and California roll which fell apart sadly. Service was quick and workers were friendly. Not too busy on a Wednesday afternoon around 1:30pm read more
