It was a sushi day today for lunch. Only missing was a drink in my hand. The service was great the girl that helped me was fantastic. She was very helpful. Told me what to do and I needed help again but she was there. Great thank you so much Remember you need to check in with the QR code once you arrive. Then your name will go on a waiting list. Make sure to pay attention to your phone so you'll know when it's your turn. They'll come outside and cash your name. We waited less then 10 minutes. Go to the table where they tell you to go sure directly abs shan the QR code at the table that's your table number and you'll order from there. So easy once you get it right. They'll help you if you need it. Great place to so by for lunch. Come here for sushi, chicken. Udon and great service. read more

We wait-listed today's lunch and were surprised being 11 in line didn't mean too long of a wait. We got counter seats, which actually wasn't too bad. The food was tasty, as usual, though 2 of our orders never came out on the little train and we ended up getting them to go. It seems like it may happen often as I heard the cashier ask another customer if they got everything. Overall, it was a good experience and we'll keep eating there. read more

Genki Sushi at Maui Mall is quick and fun. The place is super easy to get to-tons of parking-and it's right by Fun Factory and just down the way from Guri Guri, so you can't miss it. You can check in with a QR code, but when we showed up, one of the staff came out to tell us to sit wherever we wanted. Ordering is a breeze with their online menu, and the best part? Your sushi gets delivered by a bullet train on a conveyor track. We tried the crab salad, uni, seared salmon, and a couple maki rolls. While conveyor belt sushi is not my preferred sushi, the food hit the spot. They have lunch specials Monday through Thursday for just $5.99, and if you want more than sushi, bentos are on the menu too. The staff swing by to refill drinks, but mostly, it's just you, the sushi, a conveyor belt, and a robot. Paying is simple-just head up to the register when you're done. read more

Wow the service here wasn't very professional. The server knocked on the window to call us in from outside. The proceeded to sit us and not give us any direction on how to order. The food took forever to come out. When it did it came out in waves few and far between even though I ordered everything at once. The specials was a spicy ahi udon which honestly was crap, do not order this. And the other was shumai which never came out because I was never told it was unavailable. This might be the worst Genki in the State. read more

This was a very interesting restaurant. You scan the code to get the menu, order online, then your food is delivered via a tuny train that is attached to each table. It is a lot of fun to watch. Food is really good, but they ran out of chicken. ) : read more

When we went here we had to scan a QR code to get a spot in line. It was kind of like a race to get in line. There was this one lady with her daughter who did not scan the QR code at all and still got seated. It was kind of frustrating. No one sat us and we had to choose our own seats but our sever was a nice elderly man. We ordered our food and it was good. The california roll is really good. They was no music and only the peaceful ambience of people eating. read more

Its really nice having the app and reserve your table ahead of time, There was not a lot of people inside so we got our food in time. The surroundings were not that loud we were able to hear each other. Finally the teriyaki bowl was back, it's been a quite while out of order. My kids likes those new robot, but when we say no ice still comes with ice. I miss how we used to have those cheap gray plate. The team is really nice and good at refilling the drinks read more

If I could rate this a negative, I would! From Maui, but moved to LV and came back to the islands for a reunion, so I'm local...This Genki Sushi SUCKS! Do not go here, the customer service sucks, they ran out of a lot of stuff, did not serve drinks when we first sat down, didn't tell us items ran out so we sat waiting for 10 minutes after pushing the call button multiple times...get better workers or DO BETTER! read more

It has been years since I've stepped inside this location at the Maui Mall. But we ended up here tonight after wandering around town in search of something cheap and easy. Gone are the nostalgic days of grabbing things from the conveyer belt and being charged by how many plates (and what color) you have stacked at the end of your meal. Drinks and soups are now brought to the table by a robot. Yes, a robot on wheels that talks and is powered by AI. QR code menus have replaced ordering from humans as well. Your food still gets sent out on the belt and stops at your table (if you're lucky) then beeps at you until you push a button to send the little boat on its way back to the kitchen. I'm sure it's pretty cool if you're a kid living in the modern world, but it made me kinda sad that the only real people working were bussing, running the register and hosting/manning the door. To be fair, I didn't see what they had going on in the kitchen. The food itself was everything I remembered. 6/10 sushi on a budget. read more

Excellent service. Wish they had unagi/saba though... always a good stop for us when we don't know where else to eat at.

Still loving this sushi restaurant with it's quirky sushi train delivery and robotic cat waiters. I've been quite a few times now because it is quick, easy and delish. You use a QR to order which makes it quick. I love the miso soup, they serve small cheap portions so you can experiment with tasting a number of dishes, and today I found the stuffed mushrooms were very moreish, my usual spicy tuna sushi mouth tingling with a hot dusting of spice, and the service as good as usual. It is a solid choice for a quick lunch. read more

It's been years since I visited this Genki Sushi location and they have definitely upgraded since my last visit. I highly recommend joining the waitlist prior to arriving so there isn't a wait. We walked in without a reservation 1 hour before closing and waited maybe 20 minutes for a party of 5. My kids enjoyed ordering on the tables and having the bullet train delivery their orders. They do have a seasonal menu. I tried the hamachi carpaccio and it was delicious! We will definitely be back on our next trip to Maui. read more

As soon as we landed, all of us want sushi somehow. Upon checking, we decided to try this place. The staff gave us a piece of paper with a barcode that we have to scan to see the menu and to place our order. It's very easy and straightforward. Frankly, if you're not familiar with this system, you'll have a hard time ordering to navigate, especially if the staff unhelpful. Maybe that's why this place has such bad reviews. Our staff was great, she explained it clear. The foods we ordered tasted great and the portions were good for us. The ambiance is very casual with local vibe. This will be one of our sushi places when we're visiting Maui, before going to our resort. read more

Genki Sushi - Menu - Sushi Bars Near Me - Kahului, Hawaii

They were short staffed and the restaurant ended up opening later that its listed hours. The staff that was working were nice and checks in every so often. They didn't ask if we been here before so didn't really give much directions on how to order and submit orders etc. also the WiFi in the restaurant goes on and off. The food came promptly after you sent the orders in. They do not serve beer or any alcoholic beverages. The fried items were extremely greasy. Portions are tiny here compared to other revolving sushi. The restaurant has an old mold smell to it like the place needs a humidifier or air freshener. There were quite a few items on the menu that was out of stock. The bowls and sushi we ordered didn't look much like the pictures. It was just an Overall okay experience here. read more

I would definitely not recommend this place. Server was rude from the moment we walked in. Asked if we wanted a table or sit at bar, we said table, he said to tables available. Not sure why he asked if no tables were available. We sat at bar and quickly noticed everything had seaweed and we can't eat seaweed. We asked if they had soy wrap he rudely said no, this is Japanese restaurant, we don't have soy. I said I know that you are a Japanese restaurant, every other Japanese Sushi place I've eaten at offer either soy or no wrap. He said everything had seaweed in a very curt and rude tone. We said we wouldn't be dining there and walked out. read more

Really breaks my heart to have to leave a review like this. I never leave reviews because Ive never really believed in them and to me everyone has their own opinion. Please do not eat at Genki Sushi at Maui Mall. 1. The work environment and work ethic in my opinion has taken a nose dive as of lately. The Genki Sushi I remember used to be full of happy employees and amazing customer service. But now, that seems to have changed. Any time my family and I are there now the employees look like they don't even want to be there and when we or other customers ask for help they are ignored and the servers act as if they can't hear them and go right back to standing by the register or by the door doing nothing. Where is the aloha spirit? Where is the amazing customer service that was once a staple of this restaurant? So sad what the service of this amazing restaurant has come to. 2. The food and food process is horrible. So many times as of recently my family and I have gone there expecting an amazing food experience. But when our food arrives, most of it is not fully made/cooked correctly. Fried items are still raw or cold, fish items and crab items taste and look like they have gone bad or are expired, finding strands of hair and pieces of god knows what in our food, and the food looks as if it was just thrown onto the plate with no care for the food quality or presentation. We've sent food back to the kitchen to be remade or fixed up and you can imagine our shock when we over hear servers and kitchen staff actively talking bad about us just because we had to send something back to the the kitchen. 3. Now for the reason I finally decided to leave this review as a WARNING!!!! Yesterday my husband and I took our kids to eat at Genki for a late lunch and as we were eating our food my husband and I both saw what we believed to be a large cockroach crawling around the tables, not a little one but a large one. A 747 cockroach. If you are from Hawaii or at least a local, you know that a 747 cockroach is not just a small roach. We both brushed it off telling ourselves we were just seeing things or we saw wrong, but then we begin to see even more huge 747 cockroach's running around the restaurant and through the tables. Not to mention actively witnessing a server sweep up a dead 747 cockroach right in our eye view and trying to throw it away quickly as if trying to hide it from customers. We both instantly became disgusted and no longer even wanted to eat our food anymore and wanted to stop our kids from eating also. As if that wasn't already bad enough, we then find out that not only does this restaurant have giant cockroaches, but they also have rats. RATS!!! Apparently they have rats that run around the restaurant but also around the kitchen, where our food that we eat is being made. I immediately wanted to vomit. Looked at my husband and he said what I was thinking. "We are leaving". We got up, grabbed our kids, paid for a barely eaten meal, and left. We were so disgusted and mad. You're serving your customers food that is made in a kitchen with RATS and you have giant ROACHES running around. Don't get me wrong, no restaurant or business is perfect but the service and food here has already been getting bad and now this. Also finding out later in the day from people we know that previously worked at Genki Sushi that management and the bosses of this restaurant do not do a thing to make any changes. And finding out that they just put on a show whenever they have to for higher ups and once it's blown over they go right back to not caring about their employees or their customers experience. I do truly believe that the change that needs to be made is in management and in the people who run this restaurant. As for the employees and staff, well you can't really blame them and you can't expect much when the management, bosses and higher ups don't care about the customers, staff, cleanliness of their restaurant or the way their restaurant is ran. One thing I know is that we will NEVER be returning again. So please, take this as a WARNING!!! Please do not eat at Genki Sushi at Maui Mall. You'll get sick, get poisoned, or just have an all around bad experience. This restaurant needs to make major improvements and changes on customer service on both the employee side of things and the management side of things. This restaurant needs to be shut down for changes and for fumigation and cleaning. Should not remain open or re open until major changes are made and can be verified to be clean. Still debating on posting this elsewhere because I know not everyone checks or reads the yelp reviews. But may post elsewhere if changes are not made. I can't just sit by knowing what I experienced and allow others to risk having the same experience that I and my family have had. It is also not fair to customers to risk getting sick or worse due to not knowing what is happening. So heartbreaking. read more

Haven't been in ages to what was my favorite place to go as a keiki! It's been so long this is my first time with the new system where you order on the tablet! I have to say was better than I thought! Being a sushi spot with revolving sushi like Kura Kura I already lowered my expectations. So have to say overall I enjoyed it! The monthly special hamachi carpaccio was bomb! I could eat a few of these myself if I wanted to splurge. I missed getting a good pic and could only get a snap of a video of it coming off the belt lol. The maki sushi are great deals gotta get the takuan and the cucumber. They have these cute cups for the keiki too and if you no like them drink soda you can buy the cup for 50 cents and have them put water in it. Cool spot to go and then hit up Fun Factory after! read more

Wow has this place gone downhill. There's always a wait, 0 customer service and the food is mediocre at best. We ordered, food came out quick but 3 drinks and one plate never showed. No one ever checked on us, not even to refill water. Terrible. read more

The service is terrible, it wasnt busy but they only brought water for 3/5 of us. When they finally brought the other 2 waters, only one had ice (fine, we can handle that) but then when our food came, we had to get our own utensils. We ordered via the QR code, and my SIL's food never came. When we asked the waitress about it, she was busy munching on something so we couldn't understand her while she was talking with her mouth full, when we asked her to clarify what she said, she got sassy. When it was time to pay there was no one around to take our payment and we had to wait forever for someone to come out from the back. Very disappointing. read more

Horrible service. We had to constantly flag down our server. Instead of apologizing for the way, she just kept talking about how shortstaffed they were and how stressful it was on them. I understand that, but that's not something you need to share over and over with your customers. We also had to wait a long time to be seated and we watched other parties walk in and greet the hostess with hugs and kisses and CCed ahead of us and no I'm positive. They were not already on the waitlist because the waitlist did not move. They just got to sit down because they knew someone. I don't think we'll be back. There's plenty of really good sushi places on this island and this is definitely not one of them. read more

This was my first time coming and we had a very enjoyable dinner. All the food was hot and/or fresh. It came promptly and the establishment was clean. My husband loved the stuffed mushrooms. read more

Wanna know something interesting? I went to culinary school and one of the chefs shared interesting information that many restaurants do not survive the first year. I had to Google to ensure my memory isn't giving out, National Restaurant Association states about 60% fail in the first year, while 80% fail after five. It's been 8 years since my Genki Sushi reviews and boy, a lot has changed. I was here last weekend with family and decided it's time for an update. Despite the situation, Hep A (2016), COVID19, Maui Fires, Genki Kahului has made it past it's doom date and will probably remain a staple at Maui Mall. (Sorry Genki Lahaina, I'll never forget you.) Back then, you could sit here for hours while watching conveyor belt shopping as you watch sushi pass by. Later, in the day they introduced the shinkansen, where you had a touch pad. And the pad allowed you to send a request to the kitchen and dishes ordered would be delivered to the table. This was my preferred method rather than waiting for something I like on the belt. Then Covid came and major changes were made. They removed the menus on the table, touch pad and the call button and introduced an app/weblink where all the communication happens. Kinda lame in my opinion. While dining here over the weekend, I observed a family with an elderly grandpa in the group, he attempted to order with the waitress but was told all orders only through the app. Did not even proceed to help him navigate ordering thru his phone. This new system discriminates against those who can't use a phone or don't have one and I don't see a benefit in using a web based ordering platform. If they had left the touch pad, it could be sanitized in between use by either the customer or employee. With the automation, the service has also gone downhill. Our waitress asked if anyone wanted water (water only) and soft drinks could be ordered on the app. Someone wanted sprunch, but there's no way to order that on the app and include a note to mix the drinks... Everyone wants to hate on McDonalds but even their online orders allow you to put a note and before you pick up, you can ask them to make it scrunch. Whatever. Waitress came back to serve wasabi/ginger. At that time we attempted to tell her that a soft drink was ordered on the app, but we would like sprunch. She was half walking away while I was speaking! Later, I asked for more condiments and she did the same, walking away without letting me finish. I must be aging if this is considered as service. Anyways, after we finished our meal, the app offered an option to call for the check. There use to be a button on the table and on the touch pad to call them to the table. This is so they can count and verify plates. I guess since everything is ordered by online there's no need for them to come by...? Why bother putting this button on the link if it doesn't even work.. Tried 4x and no one bothered to come. Had to basically block someone in to ask for a refill. After 15 min of waiting I finally went to the counter to pay. I get shift changes and everyone wants to go home, but there was no other customers waiting to pay and they weren't trying to help me check out. (We should've just walked out if they don't want to ring me up so bad.) After waiting maybe 5 minutes, someone took my payment. Horrible service aside, food was as I remember. The spicy tunas on everything... the sweet unagi sauce.. all the fried things are served hot. Lol. Food is still delivered on the shinkansen and comes out fast, they also bought back fried oyster. =] So, covid bought about a bunch of changes, Genkis is implementing changes to make the dining experience safe which is great, but unfortunately the staff makes dining bad. Hopefully other islands aren't this bad, it's unfortunate Maui only has one and this is how they act. read more

So we went to dinner here this evening after catching up a movie. Figured we would be in and out and were not super hungry. The food was ok some items you could tell were old from the smell. Most of the item were pretty fresh. Service was ok. Pretty much after we were seated no one came back to check on us. Not until we motioned someone over after multiple tries that one of the girls came over. Food seemed to take forever. Watching the delivery it almost seemed like who ever was in the kitchen was only working on one table at a time. I ordered primarily nigiri as that is what I mostly eat when we go out for sushi. I'm not a big roll person. So our order should not have taken very long. My girlfriend got most of her items right away but I waited for a considerable amount of time. The food was ok when we did finally get it. The ambiance is the same as it has always been. Sterile and boring so there is not much to say about that. Sadly it seems customer service has fallen off considerably. Food is decent for the most part. At one point they opened or were cooking something in the back and it permeated the restaurant with a horrible old hot past its prime bad seafood smell. I gave it 3 stars this time but it's more like two and a half and that's even pushing it. read more

Saddened they got rid of Chawanmushi here. I've usually had am uneventful time here. I don't eat raw fish soo can't tell you quality on that but the cooked stuff and non traditional sushi (e.g. tempura roll) is good. Service has been ok, even when short. Stars knocked off because my husband had an allergic reaction so cross contamination is real. This location is all too often busy, so it's nice they have an app check in. Good amount of booths and bar seating available but gets busy fast. Not many sushi places to eat in Maui, especially those that cater to non-raw fish eaters. read more

When did this Genki become so bad? The service was pretty bad, the customers on the side were getting annoyed they didn't even get them their water, or utensils. No one checked on us but the reason why we give them 1 star is because look at the food... we understand the increase in prices and it's nothing they can control, but can you guys at least actually care about the food you're giving us? We know it's supposed to be quality sushi but this is like the worst location I went to. I used to come to this location a lot before moving, and I come back and it's SO BAD. Took forever for our food to get this... really? read more

I love coming here for some quick cheap sushi, the only thing that bothered me today was they didn't have a lot of things that were on the menu. It would show up on the tablet but say sold out, they didn't even have basic ahi nigiri but they had the garlic ahi.. which didn't make sense to me. But otherwise the service is still great, it does get busy so you just have to be patient but i've found that coming earlier during lunch or early dinner is best for a shorter wait. read more

The food was good but the service is garbage! No one greets you. We weren't aware of how you're supposed to check in to get on the waiting list and others didn't know either. It wasn't until after about 5 minutes we asked one of the workers. She responded like we were idiots for not knowing. The staff wasn't friendly and seemed miserable. You'd think they'd do something about the service with all the bad reviews regarding the shitty service. read more

This was our 3rd visit. The first 2 times was not great, and I told myself I wouldn't go back. But because of our schedule, we were having a later dinner and there aren't many places open after 9pm. The workers are not rude, but not really friendly. We used the QR code to order, and half our order took so long, I finished my meal before they got theirs. We ended up having to ask about it. They went to check in the back, then came out to say it's coming out. No apologizes. Part of the order came out right after that. But not everything. We had to ask AGAIN. Overall, we got the rest of the order more than 30 minutes after ordering it, and asking about it twice. Then we Requested Check on the app, and nothing. Hit it again, and nothing. Had to flag down someone, and instead of checking for us, or apologizing, simply said "oh that goes to the register." So i asked do I go up to get/pay there, and she said "oh, if you want too". This is the 3rd strike. That's it for me. read more

There are better sushi restaurants on the island but if you're looking for a cheaper version, then there's Genki. This restaurant use to have the conveyer belt but a redesign over a year ago turned the restaurant into a made to order from a touchscreen restaurant. They have regular menus but ordering is done on the touchscreen by type of sushi and price. Once the food is ready it comes out on a Shinkansen type train to your table. The prices have recently gone up as the lowest priced items are now over $2 and the highest priced items being over $6. I tried to stay on the lower end of the spectrum but my bill came out to $20, and that was with 6 plates and didn't even come close to having actual fish. Overall what was once a budget friendly sushi restaurant is rising in price as is everything else. If you want to have actual sushi I would go to another restaurant. read more

It's good fast sushi, great taste and amazing with the miso soup , plus I enjoy all the different types of of sushi they have

We came here for the first time on a Tuesday night and there was a wait, I was able to put my name on the list through their waitlist app. We were sat and quickly greeted by our server Jennifer (I believe that was her name), we told her it was our first time and she explained to us how it worked. We order through a tablet, the prices depend on the plate color. The prices are not bad at all. Unfortunately when we finally looked at the menu, they were out of most of the things we wanted ordered. But the plates we did get to order were scrumptious. The garlic ebi and crunchy shrimp were my favorite. We ordered 8 plates and a soda for $52. The service was good, but the food took quite awhile to come out. We liked that the food was delivered on little trains and they stopped right in front of you. There are multiple locations throughout Hawaii, we plan to try Genki in Oahu next time! read more
