    Gen Sushi is a solid spot. The outdoor seating area is a nice space to sit and enjoy a meal. Staff were friendly and welcoming throughout our visit, which always makes a difference. The menu has a good variety of rolls and there's definitely something for everyone. We tried a few different options and enjoyed them. The sushi tasted good overall, though I'll be honest, it didn't quite reach the heights of some other spots I've been to. The quality is there, but it feels like it's hovering just below where it could be. That said, no real complaints. For a casual sushi outing with a pleasant atmosphere and a friendly crew, this is a decent spot.

    My sister was in town and she loves sushi, the owner of Gen Sushi privately messaged me to give them another try since my first visit wasn't the best visit! We were greeted immediately and sat down, we ordered the house roll, shogo roll, * I can't remember the last roll, whoops*, spicy wontons, Thai ice tea and Apple Soju. The gentlemen working was very kind, and warned us that the soju is high ABV lol, which we had a bad week so we wanted a high ABV! Our rolls came out before our appetizer, but nonetheless the food was great. Service was much better than before, although we did not receive a check in to see how the food is or if we needed anything else. Everyone even said goodbye when we left, which is always appreciated. I appreciate the owner taking pride in their establishment and trying to make things right. I'll be back

    This is in reply to the business owners response. I tried the restaurant 7 months ago and they're just now leaving a reply to my 3 star review. I'm glad they cater to the demographic in their area, I guess. That's very telling actually. Lol. I'm glad they pay their workers fairly, etc. but that doesn't address actual health hazards (room temp sushi or fruit flies) nor does it address watered down alcoholic beverages. Do better. Don't sweep things under the rug. I shared feedback. Kind of only have two options. 1) Fix the issues and don't bother replying.; 2) Or receive the feedback and say you're going to make it a priority to step up your game. Rambling about fancy spots vs not isn't the point. You don't have to be fancy to serve bomb sushi/dishes. I wasn't judging it as fine dining. Everyone in the greater Vancouver area raves about this spot and I find it mediocre (as I've eaten sushi my entire life and lived in predominantly Asian areas for a good 30+ years). Either way, good luck in 2026.

    Food is amazing, super delicious. Ambiance is quiet no many tables inside and they have some tables outside. Service is excellent, people is nice and kind.

    I've heard a lot about Gen Sushi but never had the time to make my way there or just forgot. Today I finally got the chance to try it and it did not disappoint. I've been trying sushi within the area and this is my favorite restaurant so far. As soon as we stepped in around 4pm on a Saturday, we were greeted and seated right away. We only ordered sushi, but they have many other options for those not a fan of sushi. Honestly, I'm use to waiting for sushi to be made when a restaurant has multiple types of food on the menu, but we got our sushi made around 5 minutes. And everything was so fresh!! Amazed by the time and super happy with the food lol The service is great. Each person that stopped by our table were super nice and efficient. I would say we got seated, ordered, received our food, ate and checked out under 25 minutes. My partner and I love dining in restaurants, but we also love when we can be in and out. This isn't very common in non-conveyor belt restaurants. The restaurant itself is Japanese themed and feels authentic. It's a smaller restaurant but they have a covered patio to seat more guests. Overall, I was super impressed and can see why their ratings are so high. I hope to be back soon.

    The service is AMAZING and the food was great. Big portions and prices aren't too bad. Went there with my family and it is really nice inside. The workers will always chat with you and make you happy inside. The place is very friendly and positive.

    Very good quality sushi and definitely the best in North county. All of the rolls are spectacular. Also, love the soup dumplings and gyoza. Their homemade fruit teas are super refreshing. Dinner rush is busy every night of the week, so expect a wait for a table. The only reason I didn't give it a 5 star is because service is also fairly slow; had to wave a server down to ask about a drink, then later for more napkins and finally for some boxes and the check. To be honest the menu is worth the slow service. Family friendly environment, and not too loud. Definitely recommend this Battle Ground gem.

    First my review

    05/03/2026 Food: 1/5 | Service: 0/5 | Atmosphere: 2/5 I got to see the comments after 2 months. I wouldn't even know that this long comment was posted if my friend hadn't told me about it. You guys were kind enough to leave a comment, but it hurt my heart even more. It's amazing that the Battle Ground branch has 4.9 stars, but most of all, I was angry about the culture, taste, and aggressive commenting on the residents of Battle Ground, so I corrected the comment again. We really pride ourselves on being a place where you can bring the kids and just have some "comfort food" sushi. We're also big believers in taking care of the people who take care of us, which is why we hire our neighbors, pay good wages, and give back to the community whenever we can. We know we might not be the "fancy" experience everyone is looking for, but we hope to stay a reliable local spot for you. We'd love to have you back for a casual meal anytime! --------They commented like this, and it sounds like the taste buds of the people of Battle Ground are cheap. P.S. Out of curiosity, if the food is 1/5, service is 3/5, and the atmosphere is 2/5, wouldn't that average to a 2-star rating? No worries, just a thought as I'm looking at it from a numbers perspective, and we respect your opinion. --------I paid to eat it, but the taste of the food fell a lot compared to the price. I don't expect authentic Japanese sushi. I feel that it is a casual restaurant in every aspect of appearance and interior. However, I think the taste should be satisfied basically. Since it is called sushi, I can feel the taste of other countries too much. The basis of a restaurant is to give one star, just as it is in taste. If there was a zero star, I would give it zero. First review (below)-------------------------------------------------- 03/03/2026 The food didn't taste good. I like sushi, so I enjoy everything from cheap to high-end restaurants, but no matter how much sushi roll it was, I didn't get the feeling of Japanese food. Sushi rice was also hard because it was old, and the amount of rice was large. The sashimi was also inexpensive. I thought the sale price was high by comparison. The sauces provided also had a strong scent of Chinese food. If you love Japanese food, I don't want to recommend it. The servers greeted me kindly. I didn't receive any particularly friendly service. There was a lot of chatter among the servers, and it was a very distracting atmosphere. The outdoor tables were even more hectic as servers came and went. They even took water and spilled it. If you want to eat quietly, I don't recommend it.

    Warm hot miso soup yummy

    I went to Gen Sushi in Battle Ground with a friend and really enjoyed it! Parking was easy. When we came in the place is clean and welcoming. We were greeted right away and our table was reserved. Everything we tried was delicious sushi, warm miso soup, and mochi ice cream for dessert. Also loved our cocktails that tasted like strawberry starburst and also the fun drink that you open with a marble. Such a nostalgic touch! Our waitress Victoria was friendly, attentive, and provided excellent service. The whole staff is really friendly. Definitely recommend and will be coming back soon!

    Things I liked: Friendly staff and good service Clean booths and and restaurant Lots of outdoor seating for nice weather Portion sizes were great Easy parking Areas of opportunity: For a Japanese/sushi restaurant I was expecting a little more Japanese food. Usually sushi restaurants have bento boxes that you can choose from a variety of options. They did not have that here. I was slightly disappointed at that. *** This is a good place to come if you want sushi rolls. Portions are good and food tastes great.

    Salmon, hamachi and unagi nigiri. Gen roll, spider roll and caterpillar roll.
    Clinton T.

    This is the second time we've eaten here during a trip to visit family. It's consistently solid! This time we also ordered their chicken lo mein and it was really good! My kids loved it. The rolls and nigiri were great as they were the last time. The Gen roll is particularly delicious. Great portion size too! It's likely going to be our ritual to have dinner here on the day we arrive each trip.

    Incredibly impressed with the quality of the fish. Similar to what you'd expect in LA or San Diego. With that being what it is, these prices are unbeatable. The service and friendliness of the staff made this a lovely luncheon out with my husband. I love that they have the fans blasting outside because even if it is deathly hot in the summer, sometimes good old dry heat hits the spot. So good.

    Erika N.

    It's not just the food that is spot on, but the staff and owners. It's family owned and truly every interaction I have here lifts my mood. They are so thoughtful and kind and genuine. The food is always served so quickly and beautifully. It's fresh, and consistently high quality. I'll tolerate a lot for GREAT food, but here, you get it all.

Most other Chinese/teriyaki places that you go to that offer this many choices, you expect sub par, bland tasting food. But not Rising Sun Teriyaki! OMG! The food was fresh and tasty. We started out with the Egg Drop Soup. Oh man. It was hot and fresh. It was not over salted or too spicy. It was just right. And they made it fresh just for our table. Our kids then had potstickers Andover son combined it with chicken teriyaki. Let's first say that the potstickers were the best we had ever had.

There was only one patron there who was just about to leave. She was having a conversation with the owner who is a nice Asian man. I got the large egg flour soup and the teriyaki chicken yakisoba noodles to do. $22.00 total. I got home and the food looked delicious. As I got into scarfing down the noodles I notice a stale taste and it was the chicken. It's like they had a piece of chicken already cooked from days ago, there it on the grill or microwave to warm it up, cut it up and put it on top of the noodles. I did like the broccoli and cabbage they put in the yakisoba noodles but the sliced carrots seem to be stale too. I tried the egg drop soup and it had a funky taste like a fishy flavor to it. Maybe it was a bad day or maybe this is how they serve their food thete. Not too sure if this would be my first choice for lunch or not.

I greatly enjoyed all the rolls that we tried: Spicy Plus roll, Devil roll, Salmon Lover roll, and Dragon roll. I think the Devil roll was my favorite because of how the flavors harmonized together and the shrimp tempura inside had a nice crunch. The rice in all the rolls was well made and the sauces drizzled on top were incredibly delicious. The fish tasted and felt fresh texture-wise too. The teriyaki chicken udon was the only letdown in the whole experience, although I'm not sure what I was expecting... teriyaki sauce in a broth doesn't make sense I guess so that's on me for getting it. Chicken was just standard grilled chicken breast, no additional flavor, no teriyaki. The udon noodles were light and chewy. The broth was light and soy saucey. I probably would get a plain udon next time.

The Godzilla roll definitely lives up to its name, it's huge. I'm not usually someone who prefers fried sushi, but this one was actually pretty good: crispy on the outside, flavorful, and filling enough to share. I was also pleasantly surprised by the mango roll. I didn't expect to enjoy it as much as I did, but the sweetness worked really well and made it feel lighter and more refreshing than I anticipated. The White Tiger roll was another favorite! yummy, well-balanced, and easy to enjoy. One small thing I wish they did differently is I would love to see separate servings of ginger for each roll. Sometimes when you order multiple rolls, the ginger gets squished into one tiny container and split between three rolls, which isn't ideal if you like to cleanse your palate between bites. Also wish they had more raw options than just crab options. Overall, the sushi is good, portions are generous, and it's a comfortable place to sit down and enjoy a meal.
