I had lunch here for the first time yesterday. 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.
Stopped by for a quick lunch and it absolutely hit the spot. The sushi was fresh, flavorful, and came out fast. I loved the consistency of every roll — super clean presentation and great taste. The staff was friendly and attentive, and the whole experience felt easy and enjoyable. Definitely one of the better casual sushi spots around. Highly recommend!
Fantastic sushi! The best I’ve had in town and anywhere else. Make sure to make a reservation if you’re going for dinner. My personal favorite is the Crunchy Crab roll.
We wanted Sushi and the search took us to Genki and we couldn't be happier! Chef Dan is so talented in what he does and putting all the right flavors together for that magical taste! He even makes his own soy sauce (we bought a pint). Arigato!
Our first time at Genki in Wilmington and we were blown away by the atmosphere and the food. The restaurant is cozy and comfortable with a relaxed vibe. We highly recommend the Black Cod Miso soup and the Salmon Croquettes. The sushi was really good as well! The place seems to be always busy, so make sure to reserve a table before heading that way. We will definitely return soon!
