    Came to Genki Grill for lunch as I wanted a spot that was fairly healthy and not too expensive. Although the menu looks a bit confusing, it's pretty straightforward. Choose your type of protein (chicken, beef, spicy pork, or tofu), choose the size (mini bowl, bowl, two item bowl, or plate, and figure out if you want extra meat or white meat. There is also a separate short rib plate if you desire that. Since I was trying to stay healthy, I opted for a beef and chicken plate and subbed out the rice for vegetables. Quality food here as everything is prepared on order. Considering how expensive everything is these days, the price isn't bad either. Staff here are very friendly, no complaints from me. I wouldn't necessarily go out of my way to come here, but if I'm in the area it's not a bad option.

    Service was great. Very attentive to customers who walk in. The communication between the cashier and the cooks worked well in getting my order out to me quicker. And the place looked well put together, clean and direct. There isn't anything about this place that screams at you and wows you. This place is an order, stay if you want or take it to go vibe. My food is the reason I gave it 3 stars. Although it tasted great, I felt like there was more rice than there was chicken in my mini bowl. Meeting me in the middle would've been better. Chicken was cooked thoroughly. Rice tasted fresh. For me it was just the portion size. I was left hungrier than I was when I came in to order. Maybe that's just what it is about the mini. I dont mind giving this place another shot with their regular sized plate or bowl.

    Spicy porn & teriyaki chicken

    This place is sort of like all the other teriyaki bowl places but way better. The small business touch to this common item in California is done so well with delicious sauce and really well prepared spicy pork and chicken that hits the mark. I recommend both the spicy pork and their chicken bowls. The price is on par with the quality and amount of food they pack in those Togo packages. I want to say this place is in my top three teriyaki bowl place

    My partner & I went in last night for a quick meal on the way home. It was very fast service, the staff that was working were so polite and friendly. It's a small, tasty little place. Much better than flame broiler in my opinion. We both loved our food.

    The food was delicious & the service was amazing. Ambiance was relaxing with a tv playing. They had a good drink and snack collection too. No public restrooms though.

    Thank you so much to the team! We had a group of teens for a construction camp lunch and we took over the place so they were fueled before a jobsite walk! As always the food is great!

    Amazing flavor from the chicken and pork. Friendly service. Small parking lot. They had a news channel playing on a T.V.. Owner was super friendly and happy that I stopped by. Chicken was tender, and teriyaki sauce had a nice sweetness to it that cuts through the chicken and pork really well. Rice was cooked well. Green onion was crisp. If I'm in the area, I would stop by again.

    Food is good. Our family's favorites are the spicy pork bowl and the short rib plate. Service is awesome. They are always friendly. Place ambiance is simple almost giving out the small canteen vibe. A lot of workers come here to eat lunch or have items to go. You can always call in advance to order your food and it is usually cooked fast.

    Hidden gem with generous food portions. The meat is expertly cut and cooked to perfection, always fresh. Their trio of sauces - two spicy options and a delightful teriyaki sauce - are simply divine. The staff is welcoming and efficient, with convenient parking available. A must-try spot for a satisfying lunch

    Plate of rice spicy pork and beef. (Ignore the chicken on top....I took it off the other plate I had )

    The combination of tasty food and attentive service earned the five stars. Been wanting to try this…read morespot for their mega katsu dishes and it did not disappoint. HUGE props to Ian for holding down the FOH fort solo on a slammed Friday night. He handled all the tables and the 8+ groups waiting with such grace and genuine care, showing just the right amount of urgency to indicate the patrons were the priority. He anticipated when the tables might need refills or extra napkins, never flinching when it seemed as though everyone wanted something broiled table side, all while juggling the scorching dishes the kitchen crew cranked out with ease. Ian very easily tipped this review into five star territory with his hard work! We ordered the chicken katsu and the bibimbap for the two of us, but really want to try the short ribs and cheese, and the bibimyun. The crowds were a diverse mix of Korean elders, young college kids, and neighborhood folks - all signs that the food speaks for itself. If you're looking for quality Korean comfort food, a simple menu, and an intimate atmosphere, this is the place for you. Oh, and the banchan choices were great for a kimchi, pickle, mac salad lover like me!

We ordered the chicken katsu curry, beef soup (galbi tang with glass noodles), and dawa chicken. All three dishes were shared family style and we had a good amount of chicken katsu curry to take home as leftovers for my friend's partner to eat for his dinner. Can you believe that a group of seven women only had to pay $71.86 total (including tax and the automatic gratuity for our party size that was 5+ people) for that much food? We each paid $10.27 for our portion and that's highway robbery in this economy. In terms of customer service, I'll say that our server was incredibly friendly when he was present, but he admittedly came by literally only three times during our visit: when we had to dramatically flag him down to order, when he dropped off our food when it was ready, and when we had to flag him down to pay for our check. I'm so glad they had a handheld terminal for us to use for checkout because we might have passed out from heat stroke if we waited any longer, lol. There are always trade-offs in this life, I suppose. We'll be back soon!

Rarely checked on us throughout the meal, our grill was changed once, and never came by to offer drink refills. The food quality has also gone downhill. The rice cup portions are drastically smaller than they used to be, and the meat quality was poor. It feels like the restaurant's overall operation and standards have really declined. For the price, this experience was unacceptable, and unfortunately we won't be returning. I don't recommend it at all!!!!!!
