Very close to my home Excellent family -friendly menu I love that there is a full bar I came for a date night and the sushi was cool, the sashimi was delicious. This is the perfect sort of Asian fusion place to come on a night no one feels like cooking. Will absolutely be back with my crew! read more

Genghix - Sushi Bars Near Me - Castro Valley, California

After passing by Genghix Asian Fusion for years, my wife finally suggested we give it a try--and I'm glad we did. Four of us went for dinner and had a great experience. The interior has that classic, old-school Asian restaurant vibe, almost bordering on a tiki bar feel. I'd heard about Genghix from locals for a long time, and now I understand the appeal. We started with the chicken lettuce cups and seared butterfish--both were excellent, and our 11-year-old especially loved the lettuce cups. For entrées, we ordered seafood Pad Thai, chicken fried rice, honey walnut prawns, Mongolian chicken, and steamed rice. Everything came out fresh, flavorful, and easily held its own against some of our go-to spots. We had plenty of leftovers and they tasted great for lunch the next day. Overall, it was a really enjoyable meal, and we're already planning to go back and explore more of the menu. It's extensive and can feel a bit overwhelming, but if you're in the mood for Japanese, Chinese, Thai, or Vietnamese cuisine, you'll definitely find something that hits the spot. read more

This place seriously has everything. It's like a world tour of Asian cuisine all under one roof, Vietnamese, Chinese, Japanese, Thai... if you can't find something you like here, that's on you. I went straight for the pho (had to), especially the bun rieu, and it did not disappoint. Flavorful, comforting, and exactly what you want when you're craving something legit. The sushi was also on point-fresh, well made, and gone way too fast. And the appetizers? Honestly, too many to even list, but every one we tried hit. This is a perfect spot for big family gatherings, there's something for everyone, no debates needed. Only downside is it can get pretty busy, so expect a bit of a wait to be seated. But once you're in, it's definitely worth it. Come hungry... and maybe bring backup so you can try more of the menu. read more

A plus customer service, called at 9:20pm 10 minutes before closing and they came through with 3 sushi rolls for the win.

I came here tonight to have dinner with my cousin and father. The sushi bar had seats available as soon as we entered. The food was great. Everything was delivered correctly and fast. The dining area was busy, and all the waiters still provided excellent service. Water and tea were topped off. The sushi was excellent. My father really loved the flavor cooked into the Lion Kong rolls. I enjoyed my bowl of seaweed salad. This is my 4th time here. I will keep coming and offer to bring my friends and family here for food every time. read more

I've been to this place for almost as long as I've been alive, back when they had the buffet and I almost bankrupted them getting only unagi to their change becoming a fusion restaurant. We've hosted friends from abroad here, I've taken exes (still friends), and now seeing them expand their menu. The food is good and you'll probably find something you like. I'm a fan of the chicken lettuce cup and whispering waves (sashimi). Hopefully their spicy beef noodle soup is tasty as well. read more

Genghix - Sushi Bars Near Me - Castro Valley, California

One of our favorite dining establishments on our rotations. Had the chicken chow fun with bean sprouts and a light sprinkling of baby bok choy. My lunch buddy had a bowl of miso soup (his fav) and the Raider sushi rolls top with black tobiko. Washed it all down with a Thai ice tea. There was so much chow fun after sharing some with the handsome hubby, I took some home also. Love this Asian fusion restaurant, the wait staff are always on point and the food never disappoints read more

Everything, the service wasn't the worst. However, the resturant is very old and dated, it need upgrades to be more appealing.

Good food, good selection and good service. Nice environment. I enjoy the ambience. It is an overall satisfactory experience.

Sushi rolls are AMAZING. We were a bit nervous about the reviews until we showed up. Those who said the soup is cold might be lying because ours came out clean and steamy and delicious. Service is super sweet, waitress was patient and funny. The spot itself is pretty and soothing, we love the overall vibe of the restaurant. (If you're under 21, or over and want something alcohol free, get a virgin mojito. It really helped cleanse the palette after I bit off more the I could chew- literally.) great spot, does NOT deserve the hate it's getting (at least in my experience.) read more

Genghix - Dragon roll, F17. Big Kahuna, F13. Crunchy Roll, F36. Caterpillar - Sushi Bars Near Me - Castro Valley, California

Great service, large portion of fried rice and broccoli chicken. The hot and sour soup was flavorful and the maguro sashimi was buttery and fresh. We ordered multiple rolls and there were no left overs to bring home. The Sauvignon blanc was cold and crisp and they had a good selection of beers. No one left hungry or thirsty. Good job. read more

Came here for my birthday party that my friends arranged. They took care of everything from drinks to food and reservations. Love that there is ample parking, we had the private room off to the side. Once food ordered was placed, food came out flying fast and it was fresh and hot. We had a variety of dishes. The sweet and sour pork, thai basil chicken, salt and pepper wings, as well as salt and pepper shrimp. We also got the fried rice, chow fun and sushi. Everything that we ordered was flavorful and delicious. We got a platter of the cooked sushi and the platter of raw sushi along with sashimi. The raw sushi was really good and fresh. The sashimi slices were super thick. I definitely need to come back to try other stuff on the menu. Drinks were good too, red lotus was delicious, not exactly sure what was in it but had lychee and it was sweet. Overall it was great evening celebrating with the best of friends and good food. read more

This place is usually excellent. However, this time the fish was straight up funky. Both my roll and the sashimi salad. I did eat two pieces from the roll (tossed the rest as it was fishy and slimy) and half the salad and have had severe intestinal issues for almost 24 hours now. The dressing in the salad I think masked the taste of the sketchy fish. Went in to urgent care and was told I had food poisoning and received fluids. You all need to do better and watch what kind of fish you are sending out to your customers. read more

Went here for lunch with the boss man and absolutely enjoyed everything I ate! True rating 4.5 THE GOOD ° Lemon Chicken lunch dish - absolute BANGER! - The crisp on the chicken was on point, the lemon sauce had depth, and it had actual lemons served with it ° Even the salad was super enjoyable because of the dressing/sauce ° Miso soup was made well. Don't consider myself a miso soup connoisseur. ° Personally I liked the decor. Old doors, old artifacts... But still feeling clean and modern ° Service was good and easy to call over when needed. - you could tell they took care of their older clientele, the usuals, very well and caring. THE BAD ° Nothing that I could note THE UGLY None read more

Genghix - Crispy, Lemony, Amazing Chicken - Sushi Bars Near Me - Castro Valley, California

Let me just say that I absolutely love this place. I've never ordered to go though. Every time I dine in it's perfect service and a great time. I decided to DoorDash this time and it didn't really pan out too well. I ordered right when they opened and the food did come rather fast. I got a few rolls and they were delicious as was the assorted sashimi. The rolls were the Cherry Blossom & Home Sweet Home. I also ordered the chicken chow fun which was good but had very few noodles in it. It was basically just chicken. The gyoza was good but I didn't like the sauce that came with it. The golden crispy rolls were kinda slimy. Didn't seem like they were cooked all the way. I got the bbq short ribs but they didn't look anything like the picture on DoorDash. In the picture they were red and saucy and what I got was brown and dry with sesame seeds as pictured in this review. Not sure if the picture is wrong or they gave me the wrong thing. They weren't bad, just wasn't what I expected. The most disappointing part was that I ordered and paid for the warrior chicken and they didn't give it to me. I'll definitely order from here again as I stated I love it but I hope it'll be a better experience the next go around. read more

Staff and Service: - Our waitress was super nice. I walked in and she asked if I would like an air conditioned room or warmer room (there's been a heat wave recently in the Bay Area). She was very accommodating, answered the questions I had, and was quick to help out Food and Drinks: - Lychee Punch: cocktail on the happy hour menu (lychee, lemonade, vodka). Fun cocktail that has a stronger taste of lychee and vodka (less on the lemonade) - Spring Rolls: ordered this off the happy hour menu (comes with 4) - 49er Roll: different than other 49er rolls as the inside was cucumber instead of a California roll - Double Salmon Roll: lots of salmon, which is why I ordered this - Overall: the rolls were okay, but they were quite small compared to other restaurants. The rice was a little sticky and lacked the vinegar of sushi rice Miscellaneous: - Plenty of parking available via a shared parking lot - Single stall bathrooms available through a door in the back - Happy hour menu is available from 4:30pm - 6:30pm Monday - Friday - Bento boxes are priced for lunch on the menu. If you want a bento box for dinner, it's an additional $5 to what is listed on the menu - Good for one on one or large groups - The acoustics in the restaurant are pretty bad - every time someone moved a table or chair, it became near impossible to hear the person right across from me. This continued to happen for a solid 30 or so minutes read more

It's time to give Genghix the credit it deserves. We've been coming here for years, and I'm finally leaving a review. My parents have always raved about this place, and now I understand why. It's the perfect spot for those craving both sushi and Chinese food. Their sushi is consistently fresh, and the Chinese dishes are packed with flavor and wok-charred goodness. The service was quick and efficient! The staff was friendly and attentive, making sure to check on us from time to time. The drinks, especially the margaritas, are always a highlight! They're strong and delicious! read more

Definitely one of our new fave! read more

We go to Ghenghix regularly and sit at the sushi bar. Kevin is usually our guy, he always has suggestions and the specials board has more. Sapporo on tap, fresh fish and many other Asian dishes (in case you take friends who don't like sushi) For the quality of food, the prices are great as well. read more

What a modern multicultural restaurant featuring so many different cuisines! There is something here to eat for everyone - their menu options ranged from Chinese style stirfries, Vietnamese pho, and even Japanese food like sashimi! When we came to try this place we primarily focused on the sushi and sashimi which were surprisingly generously portioned! They also have real fresh wasabi that you can try which we did and loved it over the sashimi we ordered. When you can't decide what to eat or looking for a solid sushi place, definitely check this place out! read more

I should have known something was fishy when I did not see any Asians eating here. The place and decor feels old and dark, the food is Americanized Chinese and the sushi is mediocre, the kind with way too much rice. Staff were great and probably the best part of the experience. read more

My friends brought me here for lunch and this is the first time I've ever heard of Genghix! This place has been here for eons and it is located in the shopping strip opposite Ramen 101. Our friends ordered a ton of appetizers like chicken karaage, furikake fries, some kind of unagi sushi, and gyoza. I enjoyed the furikake fries as they were made just right as well as the unagi sushi. 3 of us had the bento box and one had the sea bass appetizer. I ordered by bento with tempura and beef teriyaki and it was made to perfection. There is even a private room for parties as it was being occupied at lunch time for a gathering. I wouldn't mind coming back again and trying other rolls on the menu. A cozy comfy place and the service is attentive. read more

Went to this restaurant with my kids, staff was super bubbly and sweet as pie. Our food was brought out before my three year old could even start up a rampage. Drinks were refreshing- (I got a pomegranate martini, 10/10 would recommend!!). The restaurant had such a peaceful atmosphere and its a great place to unwind after running errands all day. They played smooth RnB in the background and its just a great spot. Believe me, we'll be back. read more

It was our first time at this restaurant. The restaurant offers various asian dishes. We settled on bento boxes, the beef and shrimp tempura and salmon teriyaki and shrimp tempura dinners, sharing a spider roll and a dragon roll. The beef was tender and flavorful. The salmon teriyaki was fine. Less impressive was the hard, deep fried salmon dumplings that come with the bento. The rolls were fresh, well prepared and presented. The server was attentive and welcoming, bringing more wasabi when asked and filling water glasses. We didn't feel rushed to finish our meal. The dining room was festive and can be loud. Will be returning to try other entrees. read more

It's rare to find a restaurant these days where the decor and design of the place is original and has personality to it, but from the moment you see the building and doors outside, you're immersed. The staff was incredibly friendly, accommodating, patient, and outgoing. The Mongolian beef came out quick, fresh, and very tasty. The fish for the sushi and sashimi is as fresh as it gets, and they really know how to make quality sushi rice. I met the owner, who was very nice, and learned this restaurant has been a family business for decades. If you're in the Castro Valley area and want to grab a good bite from a restaurant with fantastic ambiance and a wide variety of delicious asian cuisine, I definitely recommend this place! read more

Even though it is a little bit pricier than some of the other local restaurants, we love dining in and getting to go from Genghix. The food is always delicious, service is friendly and they thoughtfully pack to go orders to make sure everything is hot and fresh when you get home. The vibe inside is great. There are always people Inside and the ambient noise level still allows you to have a conversation at the table or see the game on the tv. Favorite orders: 1) garlic noodles! I am not a fan of mushrooms but i just pretend they are not in this dish because the garlic flavor is so delish! 2) sweet and sour pork or chicken. So much flavor in this dish and the pineapple is juicy! 3) variety of rolls. Whichever are your favorites I am sure you will enjoy. We have had some basic rolls as well as more intricate and they all taste great. Genghix roll is bomb! 49ers roll is great too. 4) bouncing filet mignon- this dish is on the pricier side but always cooked to perfection. They also have a good selection of sake that you can enjoy with your meal. This restaurant will always be in our rotation because we cannot get enough of their food and their service is excellent. read more

We had dinner yesterday at this restaurant (May 15, 2026) with some friends. The GOOD: The restaurant is nicely decorated and had great ambience. We were greeted and seated immediately. The drinks we ordered were ice cold served without delay. We ordered the Pokeman and crunchy chicken salad to begin with; these salads were delicious. For appetizers, we ordered the Super California and the Lion King rolls. These rolls were delicious. The BAD: The wives ordered a large beef pho and the guys ordered the Singapore Vermicelli. The dishes arrived hot. The soup base for the pho was way too SALTY! The vermicelli did not have much curry flavor and the typical "glass noodles" were substituted with thin egg noodles. The noodles had a gritty texture on the tongue suggesting the cook sprinkled curry spice on the noodles rather than dissolving the curry spice into an emulsion. The barbecue pork in the vermicelli was sliced too thick. The vermicelli dish was not too good. Finally the men's bathroom appeared to neat and clean. My recommendation is to stick with the sushi rolls at this restaurant because the other cuisines need some work from the kitchen staff!! read more

Live in Castro Valley about 10 yrs. Love their Japanese style food and Chinese Style food. My family comes in for Chinese and I love sushi. This is the restaurant that can actually please our tummy on the variety of food we get to eat. Service is always excellent. Ambiance can be very noisy at times. It is a great place to relax to have an after hour drink and watch some sports on TV. Now recently they added Vietnamese style food. 3 country in one. Thumbs up for us. Always will recommend to friends and family. read more
