We love this place. One of our friends introduced us to this place, but have been here multiple times before. We used to only go to Anaba sushi for years but this place has beyond grown on us. Fermin always waits on us and he is such a pleasure. I don't think we have ever had such great customer service and it's every time. He is very respectful and always remembers everyone.. The selection of fish isn't the greatest to be honest but we do not care. The food is great and this the only sushi place my son will eat at.. Great job Genmai... read more

The great reviews are unbelievable. They have to be lying. This is the worst so called sushi I've ever had in my life. When the menu says "soybeans" instead of "edamame" You ALREADY KNOW they don't know what they're doing. The spicy tuna was plain tuna with sriracha splattered all over it. TF? The 805 roll tasted like a spoiled dill pickle WTF? It was embarrassing to have to pay for the trauma I went through last night. Never again, do not believe these reviews. read more

This sushi place is okay. The restaurant is rarely busy. Always plenty of sitting. The food is good. The quality is ok. The prices are decent. The restaurant is big and fairly clean, could be cleaner. We usually do take it but this time we decide to eat in. Our waitress was great she was friendly. We were her only table (only people eating there) but she might of been new because we had to keep calling her to our table for refills etc. The reason for the 3 starts is when we went the chef whom I think might be the boss or owner was scolding the poor waitress. Apparently she had set napkins and chopsticks on every table and she wasn't supposed do that, it was very uncomfortable to hear their conversation that should of been done in private. I will take it to go next time. read more

Don't bother going here. After reading some of the reviews, I thought I'd take a chance. Big mistake. The sushi is substandard and isn't fresh. The service was okay, but I got a glimpse of the kitchen on my way to the bathroom and almost died. I asked for my check immediately and paid for my order. As I was walking to the door my waiter asked me why I didn't tip. Really rude. I told him to look at the kitchen. A friend and I were talking about dumps to avoid when eating out and he mentioned he took a date here and it was a disaster dinner. We laughed about it. Poor sucker! read more

This is our favorite sushi restaurant in Oxnard after trying more than a handful. Is this wildly authentic Japanese sushi? Absolutely not. Is it still great food with reasonable prices cold drinks and a nice atmosphere for families. 100%. It's different and very fun. Coming from someone who has spent many weeks traveling throughout Japan. Was surprised to see such low reviews considering our phenomenal experience coming here for the last five years. Even during Covid they provided Quick delivery. Highly recommend the Nava Roll! read more

This is my second time coming here after 4 years. To be honest.. this really wasn't amazing sushi. Unfortunately the menu is a bit limited. If you get takeout, I recommend getting your sauce on the side so you don't get home with soggy sushi like I did. read more

Pretty disappointing repeatedly. The quality of the cuts and the freshness. I'm gonna go with competitors from now on. Sushi ain't supposed to stink like you're at a fish market. At least not tuna and yellowtail. read more

Came here for dinner on a Friday at 6 pm. Just in time because after we were seated there was a steady group of people waiting to be seated. So this is a poplar place! Service was pretty good. We ordered our drink and we were brought out complimentary miso soup. The soup was tasty and my margarita refreshing. For starters we had spicy garlic edamame and it was delicious. Love roll was good. It was filling! Baked eel and crab inside. Oxnard roll and Hanaka roll were both good too. My favorite was the crunchy roll. Lightly fried and drizzled with teriyaki sauce. Very good. Lastly we also had an order of shrimp fried rice. I like that the veggies were fresh and crunchy, great for added texture to the rice. Good flavor too. My only complaint is that I had to ask for several items. A serving spoon for the rice, plates for the rice and wasabi. Happy eating, happy yelping. read more

My husband and I decided on take out & we decided to do Genmai for the first time. We got a total of 7 rolls for us & our kids. I'm giving them a 4 because as I said I got 7 rolls and they were tasty but again we got 7 rolls and only got 4 packets of soy sauce. My husband did also ask them but did not open the bags to check hoping they threw in enough for our 7 rolls. Good food but next time we will for sure be checking the bags. read more

I just tried this place out yesterday having dinner with a friend and I can definitely say I was the only Asian person in there LOL Nothing wrong with that but I think the flavors of the food is more catered to the Hispanic and Latino community :) I ordered the Golden Crunch Roll and my friend ordered the Lakers Roll. Both were baked and had a sauce drizzled over them. I enjoyed my roll which had spicy tuna as well as tried my friend's which had cream cheese. I regret not taking a photo of my roll but that one roll had about 10-12 pieces which left me completely full. My total came out to be $8 which is pretty good for one baked roll but my stomach felt uneasy afterwards from either the food or me just trying to suck in my stomach while hanging out with my skinny friend LOL read more

I hate leaving bad reviews but this place has gone down hill TREMENDOUSLY. I get the service is slow because not everyone wants to work because they get unemployment, that I get. HOWEVER, the quality of the food was horrendous. I ordered the chicken curry which *in gordon Ramsay's voice* was f**king bland!!! That wasn't the worst part though, I came home to give my dogs the food instead & noticed some of the chicken was pink inside..... and the "curry" sauce tasted like sweet tapatío... wish I was lying. The worst part was that the basic ass California roll fell apart and that's how I knew the quality was shit. My mother in law got food poisoning an hour or two after we had eaten there. Gotta love restaurants that give you chorro. Not even taco (chorro) bell anyway, don't eat here. You're better off spending a little more at kabuki or Anaba Sushi by the Harbor.

Genmai Sushi - Chicken Katsu Curry & pos California Roll - Sushi Bars Near Me - Oxnard, California

This isn't the best sushi in Oxnard but it definitely is the most convenient for me. It's right down the street from my job and it's the closest one that taste good. One of my favorite things to order is the baby octopus. I'm not sure what they dip it in but it always taste amazing. They also have a lunch special where you pick 3 sushi rolls from a selection listed and it comes with either miso soup or a salad (which is a pretty large portion). The only drawback is you can't order two of the same rolls which is kind of weird. They will charge you extra for that so they have to be 3 separate rolls. But they do have a special like, come on your birthday with eight or more people and you'll receive a free roll and they also have a $5 drink specials from 9pm-12am. You can catch some dancing and live music Thursdays from 9pm-12am as well. So if your close by and looking for some descent sushi, this is the spot but I'd only recommend it for the lunch specials, otherwise the price doesn't match the quality if it's not a special. OOO 3 out of 5 Afros read more

The spicy tuna roll I had was not quite fresh but just ok, also I tried the Avocado Bomb and it was super!!! Bento box portions were ok ordering chicken teriyaki w mixed tempura, but the tempura dipping sauce was very tasteless..disappointment!!:( they need to try the sauces before putting them out, customer service very friendly and kind, I would give it a second chance! read more

Over priced sushi. Was amazing the first time I went but went after and paid over 43$ for two rolls. Offered 20% off one roll for being over charged instead of refunded. Won't be back again. PS heard the staff laughing that I called again. yes I speak Spanish too lol read more

this place has so much potential but it lacks a lot! The service is not good at all, chefs working at bar are loud and rude, host on the phone and no one really taking care of the guest. Ordered 2 simple rolls which took them 45 mins to make minding that there's 2 tables occupied in a 50 table restaurant. Fortunately, the sushi is really dank and awsomeee. Great rainbow roll and California Roll!!! read more

I live for Genmai's avocado bombs , spicy edamame, cilantro rolls and oysters! Me and my roommates are here at least once a week before dining was prohibited due to covid but we still order to go. The staff always treat us so nice , especially Fermine ( I know I'm misspelling his name sorry !) He is the very best !! Please treat him well as he is one of the key reasons we keep coming back ! read more

I think we found a new favorite Sushi place. I ordered the Hanada, which was a special roll. If you are looking for something with new flavor and crunch, try this one. It has spicy shrimp, which you know I'm not a fan of spicy...but the onion vinegar counteracts very well. The rolls are of generous size and the service was on the ball. For a Friday night there were only 4-5 tables full. But there is plenty of seating outdoors. There was music but it was difficult to hear over a loud pounding (maybe a fan)? Hope to try something new next time. read more

Good food! Bummed that my request for no sesame seeds or masago was ignored. I also asked for no white fish on my sashimi plate. I was told there would an extra fee for this request and I happily agreed to pay them. Got home and my order was not as promised. I'll be back because this restaurant is really good lol but double check your order before leaving. read more

Food is good. Service is crap. Check your to-go order yourself, staff cannot get it right. Shorted me a couple of items, they too busy to deal with it. Thanks a lot. read more

We order over the phone and it took them an hour and 15 minutes to prepare my order when I went to pick them up my order was on the table and I was waiting for another 10 minutes for someone to attend me, the lady was just walking back-and-forth like she didn't know what she was doing finally a guy help me out he gave me my food but it was already too late, the bake role was cold, I probably won't order from this place again. read more

Something has changed. Been getting takeout every week or two for over two years, now their online menu has dropped all sushi rolls and their wonderful poke bowl. I was able to place an order over the phone, however. For weeks now, when I ask about their online menu missing all their entries under "Sushi", the answer is that their website is under construction. Not as convenient, but the food is still good. One other good side effect is that takeout orders placed over the phone are ready pretty quickly. read more

My son ordered the beef teriyaki meal, when he got it, it was cold, the meat portion was very small, they microwaved and served. My son was very disappointed. You get a choice of roll, he got the California roll and he said it was okay. My wife and i ordered the philly roll was good, the super lobster roll was good but stingy on the toppings, the tarantula roll was not good, didn't eat all of it, it was 98% rice, the Hollywood roll was just okay, the salmon sashimi and tuna sashimi was fishy. It was not fresh. Service was horrible. I never say never but this time I will. Never coming back. read more

I've had bad service before , but never as bad as this place. We waited 30 minutes for our waiter to take our order because she was flirting with guys at the bar and was drinking along with them. When she came back, she played it off and pretended nothing happened. She rushed us to order and soon after went back to flirt and drink. As me and a friend finished, we had to call the waiter over several times for her to give us our bill. It wasn't until after we screeched our chairs that someone came to us with our bill. The food tasted like it had alcohol in it and the "crunchy roll " was completely over cooked. I've never EVER had a really bad experience until today. If you're looking for expense poor quality, this is the place for you! read more

I love, love this sushi restaurant. I've been coming here for years. Not only do I enjoy coming with friends to enjoy live music and yummy drinks. It's also very family oriented for my son. The ambiance is intimate, fun and casual. If you aren't happy with the food they will gladly accommodate your needs. They have a great variety of selections. One on my all time favs is the Hannakah roll and the 805 roll. Micheladas are bomb and their cucumber margaritas are amazing. Their new manager Andres is very personable, friendly and very sweet. This will forever be my all time favorite sushi restursand I highly recommend it for all ages and occasions. read more

Been here a few times for the entertainment and service and it's a hit and miss. Depending on who they have playing and serving. Going was that night where the service was just not there. Never asked for the bill and it came early. The sushi was ok but could have been better. Drinks was a little on the light side. To be honest it's my opinion vs your opinion If you like sushi give it a try. read more

Great sushi and service! Our server recommended good rolls and the food came fast. I was in love with their garlic edamame.

Mari made the best margarita! Was craving one but with natural fruit not syrup mix. Add brown rice California roll & in a very happy place made by Angel & team of hard-working servers. Thank you! read more

Some of the sushi joints that I've visited are Japanese-operated, others Korean-operated, but this is the first Hispanic-operated sushi restaurant that I have visited. My third & most recent visit was three weeks ago for lunch. The chef served me tuna, salmon, & yellowtail sushi, plus a spicy tuna roll. All were OK, but did little to excite my passion for the fish. While the chef & staff are welcoming, I just haven't found the food exciting enough to add to my list of places to spend my dining dollars. On the other hand, I have met several other folks that really enjoy the food, so it's possible that I'm being too hard on them, but since it's my money I believe I'll have to direct it elsewhere. Summary: Meh. I've experienced better. read more

Tried this place last night. Nothing stands out except it was dimly lit which i actually enjoyed. Its a sit wherever you choose type place, some people like that, some people dont so thats just more of an fyi :) but not bad sushi, tasted fresh. The king roll was unique and a little jalepeno spicy. The Hanaka was our favorite, topped with fried salmon. And the tempura ice cream was ginormous. Oh staff was nice too. read more
