This location is small, with a main room that has a large community table plus a few tables along the wall. There are also two small adjacent rooms offering additional seating. The handful of seats in front of the sushi prep area are taken up by to go supply items and didn't appear to be available for customers. We came for a work lunch and there were 12 of us, so we took up the entire community table in the restaurant. With all available seats in the main dining area full of customers, the restaurant became very loud. The majority of our party ordered sushi, but a few of us got hot dishes which came from the kitchen and arrived later than the plates of sushi. They have an extensive lunch menu, and everyone was able to find something they wanted. The lunch sushi came with miso soup and the lunch meals came with salad. The portions were generous for lunch and the food was tasty. read more

The menu looked good a nice amount of options. Cocktails selection was ok they had more saki's and wine. The service was good. The reason I have it a low rating was because both me and a friend didn't feel well after eating there. I felt very nauseas and my friend said the food ran right through her and she felt funny too. read more

Got the Makimono Combo which had the combination of my favorite rolls. Ordered to go and was made on time. The salmon and shrimp tempura were my favorite with the salmon melting in my mouth and the shrimp with the crispiness. The California roll was alright and needing more flavor from the imitation crab. The miso soup was amazing and perfect for the cold day. read more

Definitely one of my favorite sushi places considering I do not eat seafood or meat. It has selected vegetarian options, but in my opinion they are pretty good compared to other places in town. Most of the locations are small and cozy, except for the Boston location. Parking is plenty and location is convenient. The service is very good. My favorite items to order are- Miso soup Yasai Gyoza Sweetie Roll - my favorite Hawaii Roll - 2nd favorite Order the gyoza sauce instead of soya sauce and have your sushi with that. the sauce is delicious. read more

It's always a good thing when you can make a reservation on a Saturday night for 8 people in a place as chaotic as Legacy Place. An even better thing if you go with children and they bring the food out FAST. The menu is a tad unhinged in the absolute best way, including photos that don't exactly sell tbr food but definitely sell the commitment to the best of Asian food remade for an American audience. The food itself isn't anything to write home about, but again, it comes out fast and piping hot and there are many options. The restaurant is pretty and the bathrooms are clean. It accommodates wheelchairs well and despite how many tables are there and the proximity to the kitchen, the sound level is ok. I loved how easy it was to make a reservation online and the text reminders for confirmation. The staff were also really nice and friendly. read more

Japanese restaurant located in Legacy Shops. We were able to get a table on a Thursday evening without a wait when several other places in the plaza were booked. I guess this is a small chain with five locations in the Boston area. The menu concentrates mostly on sushi, with a few entrees. 18 year old and I ordered several items to share. My favorites were the summer roll and the salmon torch roll. The hotate kaiyaki, kind of like a "dynamite" in a shell, was rich and tasty. Was not a fan of the beef skewer, as it was fatty. We ordered the shrimp spring roll with salmon instead of shrimp. Next time I would stick to the shrimp. We sat at the bar and service was friendly. Our dishes came out quickly. read more

Went here for the first time on a lunch date. I ordered the oshitashi which came with some sort of topping which surprised me but was delicious. I also got the spicy scallop sushi which was also yummy. I'll be back. I also love the ambiance and decor. read more

We really wanted sushi and wondered what would be a nice new place to try. Genki at Dedham seemed like a good choice based on the reviews and distance. We got it delivered and ordered the spicy salmon tartare and spicy tuna salad. We love fresh salmon and tuna and both dishes sounded great from the menu. First, the order took over 1.5 hours to arrive. That was still bearable. Second, neither one of the dishes was spicy. Again, not a big deal. Third, the quantity for the prices was really tiny. Now, this one actually matters (but only if you like the taste of the food). So here's the final one - the salmon tartare was cooked. What?? It's tartare. Why is this dish served with cooked salmon? It was not what we wanted at all. It was bland and the texture was obviously off because the salmon was cooked. The tuna salad was just ok - lots of tempura flakes, little tuna. But at least the tuna was fresh. Would not recommend. read more

The location is conveniently located next to the parking garage near the footbridge to the movie theater. Definitely a good spot to stop by for some food when you're shopping. The staff is friendly and the acoustic covers playing in the background is on point! The seaweed salad was fresh and it felt like a generous portion. The spicy salmon and spicy tuna rolls were as good as any good sushi restaurant. There is a slight increase in price from inflation, honestly its not that much more which is appreciated. read more

I couldn't even wait for the check to come to let y'all know how great this meal was LOL. Its a Sunday evening and we didn't have to wait to be seated. However it did fill up quick in here. In a full dining room, the noise is average. Not loud where you feel the need to talk loudly to be heard. Momokawa Organic Junmai Ginjo Sake -- so delicious and pairs well with the sushi, sweet but not too sweet and has a hint of honey. 14.5% Seaweed Salad -- delicious and light, perfect to share with 2-3 people if you're ordering other apps and/or sushi. Pan Fried Gyoza -- could have been seared on both sides but still very delicious. Spicy King Crab Tempura Roll -- this is the star of the show, why I couldn't wait to get this review out haha. This is probably one of the best rolls I've had here so far. I highly recommend trying it and it's enough to share. 10/10 Triple Torch Roll -- it was pretty good, I'm not sure I'd get it again, I feel like it was missing something, maybe a sauce on top? 7/10 read more

We live close by and we normally come here for our sushi cravings when we aren't in the mood to drive to the city. We like rolls that are raw (no tempura, no cooked ingredients, no cream cheese please). The Twin Roll, Rich Salmon Roll, Tri-Color, Fresh Summer Roll (ordered without cream cheese) are our favorites from here. Service is always kind and attentive. My Star Rating: 5 stars: Blew my mind, had a wow factor, will return 4 stars: I liked it but didn't love it, no wow factor, will still return 3 stars: I didn't hate it, but didn't like it either. Will not voluntarily return 2 stars: I did not like it, I would not return 1 star: I absolutely hated it, I would not return read more

Funny how I walk by this restaurant all the time and I feel like I've never seen anybody walk in here, but I went on a Friday night and it was very busy. They kind of cover the windows to see into it and cover the dining room with drapes when you're in the lobby. It's an intimate restaurant, maybe 30 odd seats and rather standard. I ordered the All Natural Chicken Katsu but I selected pork instead. They also give you a complimentary miso soup which is cool. I thought they had messed up my order because it looked and tasted like chicken, but they insisted it was pork. It came with white rice and vegetables. It was pretty standard. I don't like sushi so I ordered this and probably wouldn't come back based on my experience this time. Not a bad restaurant, just not for me. read more

Came here soon after they opened and there was no wait for seating. We ordered shrimp and veggie tempura, Naruto, salmon torch roll, and dynamite roll. Tempura: 5/5 It's probably one of the best I've had in MA. The batter is so light but yet is so crispy. You don't feel like you're eating a thick coating of batter nor does it taste oily at all. Naruto: 5/5 this was so refreshing to eat with the slight tang of the sauce and thin cucumber wrapping Salmon torch roll: 5/5 I loved this, it was so good! I didn't even need to dip it in any soy sauce or wasabi Dynamite:4/5 still very good, but felt like it was a lot of sauce when you bite into each piece. Love the slight crunch of the outside rice. Service is decent, our waters were filled, and they took empty dishes away promptly before the next dish came. Definitely will come back to try more items on the menu! read more

Very acceptable sushi. Small place in a big shopping center. Reasonably good selection of fish. I ordered the sushi dinner which is only 27.95 and has ten pieces of nigiri sushi, two rolls and miso soup. The soup was good and the mushrooms not over cooked.the sushi dinner had two salmon two tuna, two hamachi, eel, shrimp, and two other fish I didn't recognize. All was tasty. Good on them to give all fish on their dinner. Many places substitute egg or other less expensive selections one their dinner. The rice, which is the important part was well cooked and prepared for the nigiri. The rice on the rolls however was gummy and the individual kernels broken. But I'm not a roll fan unless it's Natto maki. Saki was hot and not oxidized. On the whole, a good experience. Not sure if I'd go out of my way to come back. read more

This place is ok. I was excited to try it but was a little disappointed. A found the restaurant itself to be dark and not clean. The food was ok but I was a little grossed out by the interior so probably won't go back. They are using the term 'organic' in marketing but I doubt it. read more

Everything was nice, good food and fast service. The place was also nice and cool which was great because of how hot it was outside.

I've wanted Japanese katsu curry for YEARS now but there are no locations anywhere near where I live. Something I really appreciate about Japanese culture is that you can literally run into a restaurant like Genki at full speed on a work trip, on a weekday, get seated at a table immediately, get served a water, tea, your salad and soup immediately, and then, when you order a lunch combo, you can choose from sushi, hot food, or my beloved curry Katsu. And guess what... It is delivered immediately, hot, fresh, crispy, mild, Paris, just enough spice, tons of flavor... Just friendly service, and guess what... Very cheap! Check served immediately so I can get to my next meeting and I was satisfied for the day. Five stars would recommend to anybody. read more

disgusting place, just look at the sushi bar area and you can see how unclean and unorganized it is. staff is rude, they start eating their sandwiches and chewing in front of you. very unpleased and the sashimi tasted awful. will never be back. read more

Dinner - Nothing special here. Service was adequate. Decor was nice. Busy but not too noisy. High prices. Variety is good and menu pictures intimate good portions. They are normal portions. I understand their rent is likely high. I will pass on this place next time. Too pricey. read more

Genki is our go-to sushi spot in Dedham. The food is always reliably delicious and fresh, having ordered take out from here many, many times! I've tried the sushi, maki, special rolls, noodle dishes, and other cooked entrees from the kitchen and I've never been disappointed! read more

Located in Legacy Place Plaza. It's very dark, small restaurant although we noticed 2 small alcoves for small parties. The menu was large with many sushi choices, almost too many, as it was overwhelming. There were some pictures of the dishes and that helped a bit. We tried the Miso soup; it was a small bowl with tiny tofu pcs and tiny mushrooms. Basically, just broth. Tasted fine, but no substance to it. The Sushi rolls were good size and tasted fresh. The service was average, a bit rushed with ordering and cleanup and the place was virtually empty while we were there. read more

Food always fresh and delicious. Always gets sushi and never disappoints. Nice service and accommodating -- right amount of attentiveness without hovering read more

I tried Genki for some sushi takeout tonight. I cannot say enough of how friendly and accommodating they were while ordering. The sushi was prepared quickly and was perfect!

Go to sushi spot in Dedham, always exceptional. Their takeout is just as good as dining in. I could eat here everyday and not get sick of it! I do wish they would stop giving us 100 packets of soy sauce in every takeout order though, even when we write in a request to leave that and the chopsticks out. So wasteful. read more

Food was just okay. You can definitely find a better Japanese place but the restaurant itself was cute!!

The food was good but we were sitting there and at 9pm we just had finished eating and they told us we want to close and you need to leave. I think it was really inappropriate and we wont be back. read more

Great sushi options! The place has a great vibe - could get crowded during weekends. Lot of veggie and vegan rolls! read more

This place is definitely worth the 30 minutes drive for us. We ordered from them quite often. The sushi and maki platter is our favorite. The rainbow rolls the spicy salmon rolls are also delicious. read more

Very disappointing . The service was good but the sushi was alarming. Spotted several signs that the fish was not fresh - the fish was not firm but starting to go a little mushy and not glossy. Also the salmon roe were going soft - didn't pop and didn't have the sharp salty taste that you would expect. No issues with the miso soup, seaweed salad or fried chicken - but also nothing to write home about. Wouldn't come here again unless I had no other choice. read more

Very good lunch special 2 rolls for $16. Noodles seem very delicious too though I did not order it.

Great for Maki. They make the usual rolled hits and have a good selection of rolls with some clever combinations like sweet potato in their Super Dragon roll. Solid quality and consistency have been the strengths of this spot and we are regulars because of it. read more

Love ordering sushi from here. So quick and fresh. The online ordering is incredible and they do an amazing job turning around small or large orders. This place is also great as they have options for everyone, customizable sushi, and additional options outside the sushi menu. I am just most keen on the freshness and consistency you receive when you go here which is key. You can sign up for their rewards program upon ordering online from here if you order a lot. They also have delivery options as well. read more

How I haven't turned into a mermaid after eating 116 pieces of sushi, I don't know... We came here extra hungry and ordered a boat full of sushi, and left full and satisfied, having eaten 10% of the ocean and our weight in tobiko. The sushi here is great, fresh, and made our neighboring table gawk at us with looks of "OMG why didn't I order that?!" as our enormous sushi boat creeped onto their table. The boat was a solid selection of spicy tuna rolls, salmon rolls, California rolls, shrimp tempura, etc. Definitely a good mix that probably easily feeds 5 people (for $100). Points for cute set-up / decor -- there are curtains giving every table a bit of chic privacy, and it's very much Japanese minimalist zen. Service was excellent, food was incredible (esp. the volcano maki!), and I can't wait to come back to try some more of their specialty rolls. read more
