    QR sign in for the waitlist is on the door. Our wait was about 10-15 minutes. I only tried one new thing this time- The tempura shrimp udon is a great deal and it's delicious! The staff was kind, as always.

    Always a treat when I'm pot shopping. Service is great, staff is friendly. You order from your phone from a QR code, and the food comes out fairly quickly on a conveyor belt. Local music playing and good vibes in the restaurant. We were seated quickly and enjoyed our meal together. Parking available in lot.

    The prices have gone up but it's still reasonable. I love having fried food and not having to fry it or clean up. No scallops today but that's fine we still had a lot to eat.

    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 Everything looks outdated...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....

    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.

    Whenever we are home in Hawaii my daughter loves coming here. We love all types of sushi, especially the spicy ahi but it's way too expensive now. My total for 2 people came out to $75.xx.

    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.

    i've been to multiple genki sushi locations and i personally love the ala moana and pearl ridge location, they've got good and fast service and i've yet to run into any problems with them!

    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!!!

    Is the food delivered by conveyor belt? Is there a train that delivers orders too?

    Yes the trains deliver the orders.

    Where in Ala Moana is this located?

    At the entrance on Kapiolani, drive up the ramp to the 2nd floor. It is located a little to the right of the ramp.

    Self note: get the Yamayuki Tuna. (chutoro) It's so good…read more The first time I tried sushi from Ginza Onodera was when they were at the Honolulu Fair last year at the Convention center and I remember their tuna was amazing I wanted more. Which led me to come out to town for their Maguro Fest at their store and let me tell you the quality of their fish, so good it melts in your mouth. Now, originally the prices are pretty pricy which you expect from sushi grade fish. The more fatty the tuna the more pricier it is but you know what treat your self, it's an experience. Since it was a limited time event, I get to try their otoro for half the price and you know what I'd come back for it again at its regular price to treat myself. Orders is through an iPad and you can pick through different categories and the amount of rice for your sushi. Wasabi and ginger is free of charge but if you need lemons for your water or fried item it's a $1. The staff was quick and welcoming which reminds of customer service in Japan. Good quality service and quality food. I'll definitely be back.

I think you'd expect quality food/service but this place failed in both aspects. I did not have the choice of choosing where to eat since my friends wanted to eat here. It just so happens it fell during the weekend of the Maguro Fair. Upon ordering our toro sushi, I noticed from the first bite that the fish was extremely stringy and rubbery tasting... My friend also wanted to celebrate my Birthday here but there was no acknowledgment at all, when she had a whole group of people singing for her when we celebrated her here previously. I have already told everyone around me about my terrible experience and will not want to celebrate any occasion here in the future. I didn't even want to tip but felt bad and left it as a severance pay that I will never be dining here again... Hate to say that this also cancels my experience at their actual premium omakase location in Kapahulu. There are many other sushi places to go to and I will not be returning.

The menu is also smaller than genki but I was satisfied with what they have. The Don bowls are huge and we both ordered one. My husband ordered the salmon oyako bowl and I ordered the tempura Don. My bowl came with soo much tempura. I usually order 2 individual tempura type dishes but this bowl can be with more than enough. I didn't rest the rice but ordered a garlic ebi nigiri which I loved.

I did ask while there if I could just make a reservation with them, but they told me call instead. At some point I questioned if this place was really a restaurant or a front for something else. Then, one Friday evening, we were talking about our "theories" of what it was a front for ... then a person in our group said, let's check it out. Opened the door and was greeted warmly and they asked how many! *gasp* what?! Really?! After 5.5 years, we couldn't pass it up! They offered 3 different styles of Omakase. I hardly listened from my excitement of just finally having an opportunity to dine there. I've never eaten Omakase style, anything, so I didn't understand that you tell them when you're done. The Sushi just kept coming. Thankfully, they noticed that I was passing my food to the other people of our party and asked me if I was done. While the others continued eating, I drank my Sake and looked around at the cozy ambiance of the small yet functional space. The gentlemen making the sushi was very quiet and I admired his care into making each individual sushi. The ladies helping us said that he's been working there for 35 years!! Okay, so finally everyone in our group was done eating. Now the bill. Then it finally dawned on me that we didn't ask how much it would be to dine there or even the cost of the Sake. As if I was rich, I took my card out to pay, but my other half ended up covering the bill. $530 for the 3 of us *choke* whaaa? ... okay, really, that's $180 per person. But still.

But if you show up with 4 adults on a Saturday night when it is packed, you still can only order 8 plates of raw meat at once (akin to 6 very thin slices of meat per person) and a server you see again maybe once or twice more for the entire night. I would think it actually would make sense to me that they allow more orders to get placed at once (and just charge you extra if you don't end up eating it... like other places do) in times they are swamped, or at least up the portion per person (it makes no sense that the limit is the same for 2 people as it is for 4 people). It would have actually earned them more money tonight as we wouldn't have sat there hungry, staring forlornly at other table's plates but would have eaten quickly and left, allowing them to turn our table quickly. So yes, come here when they aren't busy.... But find another hot pot location to eat at on Saturday nights! Also don't come here if your kids are not height challenged.

I also don't understand how Yelp lists this place as a "good for kids". It's not. There wasn't a kids' menu and the dishes were not kid-palate friendly (other than maybe the basic California style hand roll). For example, the fried tofu had shredded ginger on top that permeated the dish and the karaage had a very mild (but present!) note of spice that reminded me a bit of buffalo sauce. Our waiter didn't even give us a heads up or point us in the direction of any dishes to consider for the kids (surely we must not be the only family who has brought kids to this restaurant). Lastly, I understand that the tempura brownie is popular but after tasting the "tempura" on the tofu I'm sure the brownie is just the star that shines through. The "tempura" on the tofu was gummy and not the authentic Japanese tempura we are used to (my husband, who is part Japanese, said to me "What is this?! Cornstarch?"). This is probably a great restaurant for drinks and hanging out with some adult friends but the rolls and appetizers were just not to our tastes. We were also sat outside when the restaurant was near empty inside and out (we went around 4PM) and it was a hot day (though the AC wasn't particularly cool enough for my preference inside either).
