Authenticity at its finest…read more Me and my family went to Genki as we heard it was a great place to get sushi and other Japanese food and it did not disappoint. We were greeted immediately and the servers and chef said welcome in Japanese. We were given warm towels for our hands and it's really a great way to start a meal; it makes you feel revitalized. The inside is nice; they had traditional Japanese music playing in the background so it really set the tone. There are some tables, booths and a counter so you have options on where you can sit. The decor is nice with the lucky cat and other fun decorations. The waitress took our order with a smile on her face and asked us if we wanted recommendations on any of the products or food. She was knowledgeable on the menu and showed real enthusiasm with our questions. I could see the chef preparing the food was clearly skilled and so I did go with what the chef recommended. Before our appetizers, they brought us a complimentary side dish of edamame beans in seaweed salad which was refreshing. Then our appetizers came. We ordered Miso Soup, Garden Salad, California Rolls, Spring Rolls and Pork Gyoza. I had a few of The Pork Gyoza which was cooked perfectly. Crispy at first and then quickly melts in your mouth; was nice and hot too. My family told me the California Rolls and Garden Salad were yummy too. Then the entrees came out and they exceeded our expectations. My family that had the Chicken Fried Rice said it was delicious. One got the Grilled Salmon Dinner and another a Crunchy Roll I believe; they really enjoyed their dishes. My family that ordered the Sushi Platter liked his too (Philadelphia Rolls, Fire Cracker Rolls, Matt's Special and I believe some Salmon Rolls). I had gotten the Chef's recommended, which was two pieces of Yellowtail (Hamachi) and I believe Tuna (Kama-Toro). It was incredibly fresh; among the freshest nigiri I have ever had. I also then ordered their Fire Cracker Roll and that was very good; if you like something with a bit of spice you will love it. We wanted dessert but were too full; just gives us another reason to go back! Genki has something for everyone. Japanese comfort food, Sushi, Sashimi, Nigiri and more. If you haven't already gone, it's time to go; you won't be disappointed! Until next time! じゃあね！

I had lunch here for the first time yesterday…read more Walking into the restaurant, I felt like I was back in Japan. The place has a traditional Japanese vibe with chef and staff shouting out, "Irasshaimase!" Welcome! Japanese music is in the background. The sushi bar was a great place to sit, as I like to watch the sushi chef work his magic in forming and creating beautiful dishes with the fresh seafood. There is a sign at the bar stating that it could take time to get an order out if there's only one chef. That was the case yesterday. I didn't mind at all, as I knew, based on the food I saw, I would be getting top quality, fresh sushi. And I did! I ordered the sashimi lunch ($21.50), which included a side. I selected the kimchee. The kimchee was delicious! I was given a small plate of edamame, which was marinate in some sort of sauce. Very tasty. The sashimi plate had 12 pieces, which I ate all of it! My favorite was the salmon and octopus. It came with a side of white rice. Service by Sophia was very nice. She was attentive. From what I could see, everyone was friendly and seemed to enjoy their job. When I got the bill, there was a charge for "Non-cash adjustment" in the amount of $0.86. I was paying in cash and was told it would be removed. The updated bill showed -$0.83 but still had the $0.86, which was not removed. Even at the bottom, it states, "We offer a cash discount." Oh well. Overall, a great place for lunch in an authentic Japanese atmosphere.

The whole place was really nice and had such a cute atmosphere. I loved the house-made Greek yogurt, the smoothie was really good, and the pastries were amazing too.

Definitely recommend stopping by if you're in Wilmington!

We chose to have a private table in the regular restaurant area. I ordered Filet Mignon and Lobster. , Not cheap, I requested Medium rare for my steak. However! Not only was it overcooked? It was cut into little pieces? It could have been ANY steak. No way of knowing it was Filet Mignon. The Lobster was removed from the Shell and also way over cooked. 3 of us had the Filet and all Three were cut up and over cooked. I barely ate anything. Waiter was fine and our tip reflected that. It wasn't the food! Shame on them for calling themselves a steakhouse!Diane

Yum yum sauce isn't exactly how we're used to but it was thick and worked well with our meal. We ordered two dumplings and two orders of steak hibachi (medium). Dumplings are ok, nothing special. Sadly we forgot to order without mushrooms and our meal was more mushrooms and onions than steak. The zucchini were tiny slivers smothered in onions. Steak was good, not a prime cut but the steak hibachi was only $12.50 though. The veggies could have been grilled longer. Pretty clean, unisex bathroom, you pick your own table. Didn't see anyone wipe tables down after customers left. This place really reminds me of express food at the mall food court . Fast casual. There were a few times where we overheard the employees curse, someone dropped the F word pretty loudly. Not against it just not appropriate in a work setting especially with children present. You can watch the cook through a little window. Good quick spot to stop. Could use improvement.

Spicy Shrimp Ramen was the Ramen of the day. Shrimp and marinated egg were both good, but the broth was way too salty for consumption. The only good decent tasting dish was the Japanese curry. I didn't like the skin that was left on the thinly sliced sweet potato, which arguably, could have been cooked a little bit more. We ended up just getting everything to-go. And then to add offense, they did not have proper containers for the Ramen. So they had to be put in several "containers" that leaked everywhere, causing a big mess. It was many of the one cup cardboard like containers and foldable brown paper boxes. Pretty embarrassing visit. Not sure I'll come again, but if I do, I'll just stick to the sushi.
