Omg this sushi restaurant is phenomenal. The sushi was so fresh and delicious. The miso soup was good! We had the shumi as a dessert and wow o wished I had more flavorful hot and good! read more

My son really wanted Sushi while we were on a road trip visiting colleges. We found Genki on Yelp, that was nearby **** and $$ which are my usual "go to finds" and this one certainly hit the mark. food was delicious, the service was impeccable. it was in a very crowded mall so parking was a bit annoying but they do offer valet if needed and I felt we were lucky to get a table without a reservation on a busy night. I'd go back if in the area again. read more

Very good sushi and a great find! I didn't realize that I loved edamame as much as I did! Each of the 3 sushi dishes that we ordered were fresh and delicious. The vegetarian one was just so delicious in a spicy jelly sauce. Service was good and not rushed for a busy Saturday night. read more

take a picture of your credit card Our waiter clained we had never given it to him But ,it reappeared when he was threatened with legal action : he magically found it on the floor the tempura batter is equally suspect: panko crumbs , not tempura batter and the decor is classic chape eats restaurants read more

Great food, the sushi is amazing and so is the curry, my only complaint is that the last two times we went for dinner we were pestered by tiny fruit flies. The second time it was so bad we moved but they were at the next table too. The couple next to us had the same problem, I assume it was a seasonal thing but it was the only thing keeping it from being a 5 star dinner. read more

Service was ok, but food should be served together. I ordered a pork katsu don, to be honest, it was probably the worst katsu don I've ever had, I took 4 bites and felt like I was eating spoonsful of salt, pork katsu was pre-fried and then heated in the microwave, it was chewy and soggy. Shitake mushrooms weren't rinsed off, I believe that's where most of the salt came from (on top of other seasonings). Not coming back again. read more

Nice little spot, would need reservation or wait on weekends. Their sushi is great and they gave a quite a nice ambience inside.

Service was great, food was amazing , place was clean & the people were nice with smiles to share. Great lunch! Will be back soon! read more

Genki Ya - Its was delicious - Sushi Bars Near Me - Dedham, Massachusetts

After last month lunch at this establishment, I have not executed the plan to Bring my wife to there until last night. Her comments include clean and Good service and available party platters. We ordered the sashimi combo, and pleasantly surprised by the quantity and quality of the sashimi. The eel over rise is also a treat. Plan to Bring the kids to sample the curry rice in the future. read more

It was very unfortunate with my experience today. Went for lunch with 2 other ladies. My friend hunted down the waitress in order to start ordering (we were the 1st customers in the restaurant without any service.) The waiter had no idea what was on the lunch menu. I ordered Tempura and he asked me which Maki rolls I wanted. Then when I said there are no maki rolls in my order asked me to point out exactly the item I wanted (so he could write the description fully on his pad). He had no idea lunch had a sushi lunch special either! When our salads arrived, I barely had any lettuce (perhaps 4 cut pieces, LITERALLY). We could not find any staff to help. Our meals came and the tempura was saturated with oil (the heat to the oil wasnt hot enough. Why do I know, I am Japanese and moved to the USA as,a child). The miso soup tasted like dirty water and was luke warm. The bus girl tried cleaning the table and spilled the soup all over my bench, floor and coat. Thank goodness my coat was waterproof. But I received NO apology. (I smelled like miso leaving the restaurant). The waiter should learn manners and etiquette. Thr host past us many times (in sweat pants!) read more

My wife ordered online so she could bring sushi home after work. We ordered things we knew we liked and some things we had never tried, some in fact i've never encountered before. The quality was amazing, it still tasted fresh after at least 40 minutes in the car. While my wife didnt care for it, the scallop rolls were awesome, as were the shrimp tempura rolls. The tuna spring rolls in rice paper are raw, fresh and one heck of a plate cleanser. If you want more spicy sauce they will even give it to you, just ask. My favorite take out sushi so far. EDIT: The spicy tuna that i had only eaten half of was sill awesome at breakfast the next day. Something similar to the big name sushi you can get at a good mega mart. I did not expect it to last long at all, most sushi doesn't... this held up amazingly. read more

Sushi is good enough quality - service is sub par. If you order delivery, make sure you're very specific about what you want. I ordered friend gyoza and it came steamed and cold, and the special teriyaki style soy that completes the dish consisted of about 2 milliliters, which wasn't even enough for one of the gyoza dumplings. Delivery guy was cold and rude, and they were also very stingy about giving me soy sauce. 2 mini-packets of the low sodium soy isn't enough for $30 worth of sushi (and I'm not on a diet - give me the good unhealthy soy with extra sodium ). Be sure to ask for extra sauces/sides if you do order delivery or takeout. Otherwise, the sushi quality was good. read more

The sushi here is so fresh and really good. Quality place with reasonable prices. Their new online ordering is so quick and convenient to pick up from work or when you don't feel like eating out. Plus 10% Genki rewards back from online purchases, that will add up! Will definitely come here again. read more

We originally only came here because the wait was an hour where we intended on eating. When we sat down we were impressed with the menu right away. They have pictures of nearly every menu item so you know exactly what you're getting. Finding vegetarian sushi can be hard, most places only have 3-5 basic options. This place had an entire page! Plus some options on the pages before and after. Even my boyfriend who eats fish said he's never had so many options to choose from. From my experience vegetarian rolls are usually very cheap and they were close to double the price for a lot of them here. Once They brought us our food I could see why, each one was a definite work of art! They were almost too beautiful to eat! The restaurant was packed and they came out surprisingly fast. Everything was incredible. They did put eel sauce on one of my rolls which typically has fish in it but they quickly remade it for me. We'll definitely have to find a reason to make it over there again soon! read more

See all

I love eating here, don't get me wrong. The sushi, soups and other main dishes are all amazing. My favorite is the chicken curry, even though it is a little pricey even for dinner. The only reason my review isn't 5 stars is because of the servers. I always feel like they forget about me! I know I'm not as interesting as their phones, but I would like at least some attention...so I can, you know, order. read more

Worse than supermarket sushi. The rolls are pre-made, bland, and low quality. My miso soup was not hot and came out at the same time as the pre-made rolls. My beer was also warm. read more

my boyfriend and i rolled (pun unintended) into the restaurant to get some noms before we catch the showing of gone girl at the showcase de lux. the menu is HUGE. and not only with regard to variety - the thing itself is big because of all of their photos of their rolls. harkens me back to my days being in asia. and to my surprise, genki offers a pretty good selection of vegetarian rolls! well, this is where the restaurant gets two reviews - WHO PUTS BANANA IN SUSHI. WHY DID YOU DO THAT GENKI. it totally ruined the flavor of the avocado and asparagus and bean curd that was in the rolls, and i was left completely unsatisfied. my boyfriend wasn't all too happy with his rolls, either. if you're a vegetarian who wants some good sushi rolls, i'd definitely recommend misono in west roxbury - their rolls are much more flavorful, and the variety is good. so with my two rolls, his miso soup and sushi, and our two drinks, we spent $50 on a wholly unsatisfying meal. good thing five guys was around to save our appetites. read more

I came here with a group of 7 and we ordered bottles of sake and a large sushi platter. The sake was good, the sushi was great. Our server was very friendly and kept our drinks full the entire time. Overall this is a great place to get sushi. read more

I just recently had dinner here, and it didn't start off good. We showed up and waited for about 5 minutes at the front desk waiting for someone to acknowledge us... We waited because we really wanted sushi, and quite honestly, it was too cold to walk outside and find another place... Anyway, after an employee saw us, we were quickly seated and had water on our table. They took our order quickly and brought the food right away. THE GOOD - I had the sake pina colada - Beef teriyaki and brown rice - The menu has pictures. To me - it's always great to see how the roll you're about to eat looks like. THE BAD - I'm allergic to wasabi and I told the waiter from the start. There was wasabi on my plate, and when they noticed, they simply went to slide it off the plate... I asked them to change plates because I was able to see that it didn't touch any of my rolls. They were okay with that, but it shouldn't have happened in the first place... Allergies are CRITICAL and it doesn't matter how many ServSafe diplomas these restaurants put up on their walls, it seems like the person who takes the course is no the person cooking... At this point, I know that almost no restaurant pays attention to the wasabi allergy... so I try to be alert myself. Take my review for whatever's worth :-) read more

Great sushi. Fresh, organic options. Highly recommended. They call when you're a frequent customer to ensure your order is correct! Love them. read more

We have been here a few times and it is consistently excellent. The service is great and love the decor. They have a waiting list on Friday and Saturdays but don't take reservations. We didn't wait long at all for a table. The variety of sushi is spectacular and delicious. Some of the best we have had. We will definitely be going back! read more

This was somewhere between the worst sushi I've ever had and the worst meal I've ever had. The staff were like weird zombies who just stood around most of the time and had the friendliness of a manakin on fire. The sushi tasted like licking the floor of a seafood market. The only thing this place has going for it is location. I'd get a new fish supplier if I were you. read more

We went here for the first time on Friday night and although it was busy, we were seated immediately. Table for two on the other side of the water fountain thing so there was a lot of traffic but it was fine. Steamed shrimp shumai was perfectly prepared, and even among the best either of us have ever had. Big thumbs up to the salmon tartare & seafood tempura roll as well. We also got the twin roll & some nigiri & no complaints anywhere. Everything was very fresh and well prepared. Staff was attentive and friendly. The only thing that raised an eyebrow (really high) was when we were finishing our drinks & paying (so the table was empty but for glasses). A female server evidently got a request from the table to my right for an extra place setting, and the table to my left was empty. Rather than take a few steps to walk around us, she full on STRETCHED ACROSS OUR TABLE an inch or two in front of me to reach the napkin/chopsticks on the next table. Forearm to waist, legit, ON OUR TABLE. I was so stunned that I just peered down silently. She didn't make eye contact and was small and agile, so it all happened in a bat of the eye and I wasn't angry or anything. Just....astounded. I used to wait tables and uhh, I'm pretty sure you're not supposed to do that. read more

BEST SUSHI IVE EVER HAD!! (and I've had a lot of sushi.) I was so excited to try this place because I read that everything they use is all organic. They are not joking when they say organic sushi taste best!! I was so in love with all of my food, I can't wait to bring my boyfriend here!! I didn't want to leave it was so amazing and tasty. The service was great too. read more

A great little place right in the middle of a huge shopping complex. We tried it last night and were very impressed. The best part is the full color menu showing what each sushi roll looks like so you can really see what you're going to get. Great idea. read more

The ambiance is lovely. I have to be in the mood for sushi, its not something I always want to eat. The sushi here is very good and I didn't find it expensive. They have so many varieties to choose from and everything is fresh. They have nice organic wine as well that was delicious. read more

Ugh. Minus Stars for this shithole. What a disappointment. Server couldn't pronounce menu items. Apps and sushi came out at the same time. They serve plain old yellow mustard with the karaage, which wasn't marinated or coated with potato starch. The torched appetizer was cold and hardly torched, meaning they torched it ahead of time and kept it cold. Sushi rice was hard and cold. This place sucks and is hardly Japanese. Then again this is what is considered good in Dedham. And they have the balls to charge for tea? Really? Shoulda gone to Boston. Genki is for clientele who have no idea what good Japanese or sushi is. read more

Great place for sushi! The food was delicious and fresh! Great variety, even for the non sushi eaters (they had pieces with beef and fruit on them!) read more

This is a very dishonest outfit. The first time I dined there with my family, they charged me three extra rolls we neither ordered nor were served. When I called over our waiter pointing at the check, he immediately said, "Oh, ya ya." He took the check from me without even looking at it. Seemed to me he knew what was going on! Last Friday, I ordered takeout from them. Since the trust level was low, I checked the bag in my car - something I have never done before! Sure enough, the most expensive item was not there. With such dishonesty, I can only guess what kind of fish is disguised as tuna! No more Genki for me. read more

Amazing experience. The food was amazing! My fiance and I ordered 5 different rolls, and it was presented on a boat figurine which was awesome! I loved how fresh and clean the food and area was. It's very spacious and updated! We got the California roll, Philadelphia roll, honey roll, shrimp tempura roll and the spicy tuna roll. I must say the honey roll was the most amazing rollover ever tried! It's so unique and good. The only reason why it's 4 stars is due to the customer service. We were literally the only people there and it took forever for our service. I'd go again if I'm patient that day lol. :) read more

My fave sushi place. The service is very quick and the sushi is to die. The decor is super relaxing and zen like. love it all.

Very small and very crowded. Wasn't overly impressed with My sashimi. The wait staff are very professional and courteous. They do have a good Pinot Noir. read more

I could eat the summer roll (raw tuna and salmon rolled in cucumber instead of rice) for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Big fan and the restaurant location at legacy place is nice and cozy as well. read more

Went there Saturday night at around 8pm. I would have given Genki 4+ stars had it not been for the rice. I ordered a few roles with the traditional white sushi rice. I found the rice to be VERY SOUR and that ruined the taste of all the roles. I understand that sometimes it can taste sour but this was way beyond normal or acceptable. read more

Ordered volcano sushi and pork gyoza. However, the food tasted very blend and was very oily.

Very hit and miss. Been here many times. Service is often patchy with waitresses being either fairly aloof or even unpleasantly abrupt or absent and inattentive. The food varies: sometimes delicious, other times mediocre. It always feels to me the servers are too relaxed and comfortable and no one really cares much. In the absence of competition, I guess they are never too worried. read more

Good sushi selection, the bill was on the heavy side ($33), but that's not unexpected for a sushi place that serves beer. We had California rolls, spicy tuna, a "Philly Roll" and Unagi. It was all good and fresh, and I'd go back again next movie I see in Dedham. read more

Best sushi by far in and around Boston! Food, 5 Star, wait staff 5 Star, decor 5 Star. Ambience destroyed by terrible 'rave like, electronic like music', no stars. The ambience should match the food and decor. Really bad choices making the dining experience not so pleasant. Not only is it terrible but it's usually too loud as well. Easy fix.... read more

Surprisingly good for the rather bland suburban location. Right next to the movie theater and under the parking garage. The movie we were going to started at 8, we came in at 7:20, and had ample time to eat at the bar (albeit on a Tuesday night). Thanks to the way-above-average sushi, Genki just might become our regular go-to place along rt 95 before watching "live in HD opera"! read more

Sushi is pretty great, the waitress could have been a little more friendly. I would recommend this place for a nice intimate evening or relaxing place with friends. read more
