Food was excellent. A great alternative to a sit down Japanese restaurant where you can eat at the restaurant or take to go without the extra expense of time waiting like you do at the surrounding Japanese steakhouses. The restaurant is very clean. Taste is that or better of a sit down restaurant. Cost Is way more happy on your pockets and you can eat at home. I love their drink machine with the lemonades!! I will definitely be back again!! read more

The food was quick and tasted good. The sauce was served in separate cups so you could how much you wanted of yum yum or ginger. I liked that they offered tofu so there was a vegan option, just be aware the fried rice does have egg. The decor was also cute as it had a manga design. I will say it was weird that the food was packaged as to go even when you ate in. I took off a star as all of the packages were plastic, and it was type 6 mostly so not recyclable very easily. Even the cups were plastic so I chose not to try the house drinks unless I have my own reusable cup. read more

It's been almost nine months now - I've come back a couple times. What I've found - the dinner times were when I would encounter most problems, but lunch time was always spot on. I also stopped doing delivery, and opted for pick-up. Dinner was iffy, it felt like they rushed to complete the order so it was kind of... sloppy. You know - not exactly a prepped bowl, but more "JUST THROW IT IN AND GO TO THE NEXT!" So - their lunch crew is clearly killing it - well packaged, survived the drive home, and was ready and waiting when I went to pick it up. It was fresh enough (I mean, I drove home with it), and it was seasoned and honestly, I almost debated throwing it in the fridge and reheating it for that "second-sampling" hibachi experience (I don't know, reheated hibachi just hits differently). So - lunch is clearly a win for this location, but I'm holding out still for doing dinner. read more

I was a bit put off by the low reviews, but went because it was handy, and had a great experience. It's tiny, and does a lot of to-go business, but I ate in. Great service, nice enough place. I had chicken and steak. You get the one veggie, and I added one, for a little health food: zucchini and sprouts. There was plenty of everything, seasoned nicely. Perfectly cooked veggies and meats. Lots of fried rice. Not as much food as at a big steakhouse, but then, it costs less too. The sauces were good. Bottled drinks or house-made lemonade, etc. Reasonable prices, even with upcharges. Super fast. I'll be back. read more

Genjigo - Steak, chicken, zucchini, sprouts. - Japanese Near Me - Lewis Center, Ohio

Stopped in today and ordered the standard chicken, rice and vegetables. The food was average. The service was poor and the dining area was filthy.. Total lack of give a damn , stare through you taking your order, discussing when the next break was with another coworker and having to start the order all over again because of no priority being given to the task at hand. Not a smile, not a "thank you", nothing. The floor in the dining area was sticky, the table tops were all sticky and had food on them. The cleanest surface in the place was the one high top table. That includes back in the food prep area that was visible from the register. Never again. read more

Picked up two double chicken bows with extra Yum Yum, got home, and there were only three. Partially on me for not checking, but the manager on duty made it right. Will definitely be back. read more

I make sure to stop whenever I'm passing through the area. Friendly staff the food is always fresh and the portions are always generous amounts of food. read more

I ordered a shrimp bowl and it only came with two small shrimp. I thought there would be more. read more

Genjigo - Shrimp Bowl with only 2 shrimp included. - Japanese Near Me - Lewis Center, Ohio

I thought for what you get ; it was expensive. I also thought it didn't seem fresh. I guess I was expecting delicious habatchi and it didn't meet the mark for me. It wasn't bad; but it wasn't something I'm going to be back to spend my money on. For one person to eat it was about $20. I got the shrimp and steak. I was underwhelmed. I do like that they give you YUM-YUM_ sauce because that's delicious ! The zucchini was really good and the steak was good ! Shrimp was so so. read more

Genjigo is a great little takeout place for fast, affordable Japanese stir fry. Good for gluten-free, meat eaters or vegetarian diets. Portions are large, sauces are great, and I've never waited more than a few minutes in line ...or for my food. Menu is a bit limited, but there's an upside to that. They always get it right! read more

So, I went to this location and ordered steak and chicken. It cost 12.99 for two pieces of steak and two shrimp. You'll legit be better off going to Japanese steakhouse for lunch and getting more food than this. And on top of that by the time I get home (about 5 mins away) my food is cold. Now i watched them be generous to others and give me barely anything. This meal should not be more than $10. read more

Genjigo - Steak and shrimp 12.99 - Japanese Near Me - Lewis Center, Ohio

I love genji go!!' It's our go to for fast pickup or delivery-- sometimes you just don't want to make your own bowl of rice and vegetables, and they do it so well and at such a reasonable price and their sauces are delicious! So it's very worth it to order here, even if it's something you can make yourself technically! Yum! read more

Good portions and I really enjoyed the chicken and steak - took off a star because they don't carry any kind of fountain drinks, just a few house made drinks that are very sugary read more

Food is excellent!!!! So good for take out!!! We have tried just about everything on the menu and have always loved it all!

Meh, over priced for bland fried rice, dry steak, and substandard yum-yum sauce.. I wouldn't even call this hibachi... Service was kind and fast at least. read more

They're always so nice here! Very quick service. The food is uber tasty. Having a few combinations of meat, rice, and veggies makes it a no-thought decision that's quick to go! read more

I love the shrimp bowl with ginger and yum yum sauce.

I've always ordered this for delivery and have never been disappointed. The steak is always cooked perfectly and never too fatty. Rice and veggies are delicious. read more

I think all of Columbus would agree that we were devastated when Genji on sawmill closed. And while they try to maintain the recipe, there's sttill something amiss. So although it's not Genji on sawmill, it still is the best hibachi in Columbus. read more

I was very exited when I saw this new location on my side of town. I have eaten at both sit down Genji restaurants and have eaten at the east side Main Street Genji Go location. I have always been a fan of Genji. I am sad to say I was disappointed with this new location after my first visit. The service was lack luster, the portions weren't what they usually are, and the yum yum sauce was runny and didn't taste like yum yum normally tastes. The food was just simply not up to Genji standards and after spending $50.00 on dinner for my family I expected it to be what I'm used to. I hope this is just an issue of this being a new location and they will have better service and quality in the future. I will give them one more chance since it is Genji and I know their quality is usually much better. read more

Skip Gengi Go. They have 9 bar stools that face a wall; ONE table with two chairs... Clearly, they don't want you to stay. Food is always cold/pre-made and the nickel and dime you for everything ($1.00/vegetable; $1.00 per Yum Yum Sauce). And no water in the soda machine! My kids brought in their own water bottles-- You have to buy a bottled water for $1.75. Family behind us had to hold a baby on their lap while eating at the bar (b/c only one table). Cheap, greedy owner!!! If I'm going to pay this much for salty, Japanese Steakhouse food, might as well go to the real thing. So unfortunate as I really, really want to love this place :-( Update as of 11/17/15: this place took pieces of paper and covered up their old menu prices to raise prices. Shady. Why be in the restaurant business if you hate people? read more

I love this genjigo! I actually order doordash from this location quite often and even though they are regularly very busy, the food is always fresh and yummy. Lost of younger aged high schoolers working at this location they are always so kind and they work as a team. read more

I eagerly awaited the opening of Gengi Go as I've heard great things about Genji from multiple friends & family and this would put Japanese Hibachi even closer to home. I stopped in on 05/02/14 after driving by and seeing the open sign finally on. I had the steak & shrimp combo with fried rice, zuchinni, onions, mushrooms and fried rice with a fountain drink for lunch. Service was quick and the food was excellent. Cost was around $17 which is much more than I would normally spend for lunch but it was well worth it. I was in and out in around 5 minutes and you have the option to dine in at a bar along the wall if you wish. The container for carrying the food was a nice plastic container that could be washed and re-used if one wished. The Yum Yum sauce that I've heard so much about lived up to all the hype as well. Overall I'm very pleased and see myself visiting this place very often. read more

This is my go to spot when I get a craving for some hibachi and don't have the time to dedicate to a dine-in experience! The staff is always upbeat and quick and the flavor never disappoints. My usual order is steak and chicken with fried rice and veggies, delicious! read more

i found a big ol chunk of raw beef in my bowl. NEVER WILL GO AGAIN! tf did i just eat.

Tried this place for my first time yesterday got FOOD POISONING. Spent the entire night throwing up from the chicken and shrimp. DONT EAT HERE read more

We spend over 50 dollars every time we go to Gengigo in Lewis Center. The manager checked us out today 1/1/2021. He offered the people in front of us free drinks. When my wife asked for ice water he wanted a dollar a glass. He also did not give us one of our sauces. My wife called back and he did not offer to replace it. With the price so high for such cheap food this manager's attitude will cause us to not purchase anything from this store ever again. read more

First time I have tried any Japanese restaurant. The food was bland, boring and lacked flavor. Very overpriced for what you get. Every Chinese restaurant I have ever been to has been better than this place and I have been to a few sketchy Chinese restaurants. read more

The food is ehh...Nothing to write home about but not terrible. I dislike the fact that the food is cold and kinda fast foodish. The food is pretty much tasteless and you have to pay a dollar for every vegetable.The yum yum sauce was runny like water! If you expect this to be the same quality as formal Hibachi restaurants you will be disappointed. Not really worth the money. read more

Good food but not exactly the same as it being prepared fresh in front on you. I'm still mad Genji on sawmill closed down so I had to get my fix here. The shrimp was delicious. I wish both the protein and the veggies were cooked to order but happy that the shrimp were at least. They have lots of little up charges so beware. You only get one veggie selection. More will cost you a buck a piece. Overall the food was good. I will go back. read more

Best to-go Japanese cuisine I've ever had! The customer service puts this Gengi Go over the top. The manager is excellent at his job.. they remember me when I come in and are always super helpful! I highly recommend this place. Steak and fried rice is my favorite. read more

Disgusting. Should have turned around when even the kid at the register hesitated when asked if chicken or steak was better. The fried rice was super dry, chicken was flavorless and looked/ tasted like it had been sitting all day, the mushrooms and onion were slimy and gross. Then the sauces...watery, flavorless--ginger had little ginger flavor and the yum-yum was not yum at all. Never again. Waste of money...I took 2 bites and threw it away. read more

I went to the Lewis Center Genjigo this morning and was pleasantly surprised at the service there. I my two kids with me and the manager Bre gave us a quick glimpse of how the food is prepared. The kids loved it and the food was excellent. Will return again and again. read more

The service was good however the food was not. The chicken tasted really bland and the rice was cold. I've had better experiences at other locations. read more

It's great when you don't have time to sit at House of Japan. If you have the time to sit and enjoy yourself, you'll get much more for the money at House of Japan. It's pricey for "fast food." read more

Alright I've stayed silent until now. This location is forever messing up with the sauces! Just got some through door dash. I ordered 2 yum yum sauces and 1 ginger sauce. What I received was 2 ginger sauces and no yum yum. If I don't get the yum yum sauce there is no point. Please read your orders! read more

The food was okay but you only get one vegetable. Each additional veggie is another $1 which makes it a bit pricey. Chicken was dry and bland. The ginger sauce helped. Lastly the music was unlistenable, so we tried to eat and leave as fast as possible. read more

Pleasantly surprised with this place! I hate sitting at a Japanese steak house waiting forever to get my food. This place was quick and well priced for the amount of food I received. If you are looking to have your food cooked in front of you then this is not the place for you, but if you're looking for a quick alternative I would highly recommend giving it a try. read more

Service was friendly and fast. The establishment was clean and the food was delicious! The chicken was a little dry but that didn't ruin the meal! I got the chicken, steak and shrimp with zucchini. (You get one free vegetable with each meal). It's hibachi so it's pricey, the combo plus a Diet Coke was 18$ and some change. Overall can't wait to go back! read more

Is what it says it is. Has the same food as Genji but also provides it TO GO. As a result of the TO GO premise, this place isn't somewhere to enjoy sitting at. With that being said, it was tolerable for my husband, myself, and our 8 month old to sit down and get a quick, tasty meal. They nickel and dime on the veggies but it will still end up being cheaper than going to a sit down hibachi place. If u really want to save money, do a combo meat, add a couple veggies, double the rice and share. I will be returning to get my hibachi fix without a wait. Also, YUM YUM sauce was thick and creamy when we went so maybe they have fixed some complaints of previous reviewers. read more
