came here for brunch on a saturday and was very impressed by the meal and attentiveness of the staff here at genki kitchen! for a late saturday morning, my party and i were surprisingly seated right away. we were initially asked if we would be able to sit at the bar but when a table became vacant around our arrival the kind staff immediately cleaned it up for us to use. there is so much on the menu that i will definitely be back to try. for this moment, we had ordered the unagi skillet, country fried katsu, and genki benedict. in this review, i'll solely be speaking about the unagi skillet as that's the meal i ordered. before getting into the great flavor profile of the dish, we did wait about 20 minutes for our dishes to come out. personally, i didn't find it to be too much of an issue, however, the staff came to the table apologizing about the wait time and reassured that our food would come out shortly. a gesture that i greatly appreciated and made the experience here feel hospitable. the unagi skillet was tasty; it included veggies, rice, a tornado egg, and the main star... the unagi. jam packed w flavors that complemented each other i highly recommend others to try this dish out!
We came here for brunch around 11am, Saturday and it was packed already. We waited for about 5 mins for our table. The waiter came and took our drink orders and once he brought that, another person promptly came to take our order. It took a long time for us to receive our food, approx. an hour! We ordered 2 appetizers and 2 entrees. The best part of our meal was the geso (squid legs). The vegetable tempura wasn't that good and it did not come with tempura sauce. It tasted like soy sauce! The French toast was something less to be desired. The French toast I make at home tastes better. We also got the loco moco and it was very bland. Unfortunately we probably won't come back.
Came here with a group of 4 people on a Saturday morning. It's a small restaurant so there was a bit of a wait but it wasn't too long, about 15-20 minutes. The place is very cutely decorated inside. Trendy and vibrant but not overly stimulating. They offered everybody complementary tea or coffee. Must be a promotion they are running. The coffee was very good. Rich and bold. I'm a bit of a coffee snob and their coffee passed the test for restaurant coffee. They had oatmilk creamer which is kind of rare for a place that does not specialize in coffee. I was very impressed with that option. The food took awhile to come out. No big deal since I was happily sipping coffee and chatting but I could see some people were getting a bit impatient nearby. The Loco Moco was HUGE! My friend can eat but he couldn't finish it and had to take some home. I took a bite and it was very authentic. Came with two types of gravy, country and traditional. Beef patty was well seasoned and moist. The Unagi rice/egg dish was very satisfying. The egg was fluffy and the unagi was what I expected. I had this very similar dish at another local asian fusion breakfast restaurant in Sac and the other place was just a tad bit better. A dallop of roe would have brighten the dish up. The French Toast was just okay. Nothing to write home about. A dusting of powdered sugar would have made the dish more appealing to the eye. It was decent but pretty standard. Service was very friendly and attentive. Staff came by multiple times to check on us and refill our beverages.
Food was all fantastic and service was absolutely wonderful. Everything we ordered was great, portions were big and you won't leave hungry. So happy to have found this place, will definitely be back! Our son instantly connected with the owners son who was so kind, helped with seating guests, refilled water glasses and so personable. The owners son is really into Pokemon cards so it was great to hear him talk about it and teach my son some tips about them.
4.5 stars A true family run business with the kids helping out. Service could be a bit slow, so they should consider hiring more people. - Okonomiyaki: unique item that got good reviews by others so I decided to try it. Not like any okonomiyaki I've had before (from Japan or here in cali). There's no protein in it, just the bacon on the side, which wasn't enough. It's just cabbage and too much batter. Very one-noted and on the bland side. - omlette, the meat one lol. Sorry i forgot the name but it had lots of meat. Egg was too thin though. Overall, I thought the items were a tad expensive but love the unique options. I would come back to try something else.
Genki is now my favorite lunch spot in Sacramento! Came on a Sunday afternoon and it was busy. Luckily, I was able to secure two seats at the bar. It's a family run restaurant, and everyone is so nice. We got the Genki Loco Moco and Salmon Teriyaki Skillet. They were absolutely delicious and the portions are big! I wish the rice itself had a little seasoning, but other than that I enjoyed all the texture and flavors coming together.
Was recommended this spot by a friend! Located in the parking lot with the antique mall. Family owned, everyone was friendly and helpful. Love that they offer complimentary green tea or coffee! We ordered the Genki Loco Moco and the Chicken Katsu and Waffle. Both were so good, would definitely recommend. Their Loco Moco came with a tornado egg and two different gravy's - a brown and a white gravy. I found pieces of bacon with my rice too! Presentation was great! The katsu chicken and waffle came with a side of freshly whipped cream and fresh fruit. The katsu came out perfectly crispy and the coconut waffle was fluffy and not too sweet. Huge portions! They even helped pack up our leftovers. Will def be back :)
I adore this place, and it's a whole family affair. The older kids were earning there keep and seating the guest which I LOVE and the food was all amazing and unique. Service was great and the space was nice and open. The loco moco had a fusion of gravy's that paired nicely and was yummy. Everything was delicious and can't wait to come back to try everything on the menu. Definitely stop in for a creative brunch option
The food was absolutely delicious, and the service was outstanding. I highly recommend this restaurant! We ordered the French toast topped with fresh whipped cream, and it was soft, fluffy, and perfectly sweet. The fried chicken and waffles were equally impressive. The chicken was juicy and flavorful, while the waffle had the perfect balance of crispiness on the outside and fluffiness on the inside. We also tried the loco moco, which was beautifully presented and packed with flavor. The sauces complemented the dish perfectly and really brought everything together. Every item we ordered exceeded our expectations, and I would happily order all of them again. Highly recommended!
Came here with friends after seeing a video on social media about this spot. I had never heard of it until the video and wanted to check it out. The menu looked amazing so I was excited. Staff was incredibly friendly and took care of us. I got the genki benedict with the plant based meat and oh my god I think this is one of the best Benedict's I've ever had. The shoku pan bread was soft and delicious, the hollandaise sauce was super tasty with the slight hint of yuzu, the eggs were poached to perfection and I really enjoyed the plant based meat. I also got the peach mimosa which tasted delicious and wasn't too sweet or alcoholic. I can't wait to come back and try more stuff off their non brunch menu
Genki Kitchen is located where Evan's and Kau Kau used to be. Lots of parking there but it usually gets full around lunch time. Lunch time the place gets busy too but after around 1:30 there's less of a wait time to sit down. My wife and I just happened to look for brunch places since we wanted to try new places and saw Genki took over the spot. It looked like it'll have a unique brunch menu so we had to check out. On our first visit we ordered 3 different items that sounded good on the menu because it's either we like the food and come back or we don't if what we got was not good. We ordered the Genki Benedict, Genki Loco Moco and the Country Fried Katsu on our first visit. The Benedict was absolutely delicious with the yuzu sauce and spam. The Shoku pan under all of that just elevated it and it was one of our favorites. The Loco Moco had two gravies that were white and brown with a perfectly cooked patty that wasn't mushy and had good texture. I got the sunny side egg on top of that. The country fried katsu had great texture with the gravy that was great as well. On our second visit we got the loco Moco again but with a tornado egg to switch it up and it'll be hard to choose between that and the sunny side next time I come. Next the GyuDon my son got and he said was great but I didn't get to try it since he finished it before I could get a bite . Also got the Curry Katsu Chicken Don and server let me know I had the option to do gravy instead so my big back went with the gravy and I'd do it again. Overall 9.5 out of 10 and we will come back here often. I believe Dan the owner talked to us on the second visit and he seemed like a great guy.
What truly makes a business great is great owners. When dining at a restaurant, especially a family-owned mom-and-pop establishment, it is refreshing to find owners who are actively involved in the day-to-day operations. Not owners who simply walk by and say hello, but those who genuinely take the time to greet their guests, take orders, sit down, chat, and build relationships with their customers. That personal connection is what helps a restaurant thrive. Genki Kitchen, owners Nancy and Dan embody exactly that. They are two of the kindest and most welcoming people you could meet. They truly listen to their customers, value feedback, and are always open to ideas and suggestions. It's true that great food brings people in, but it's Nancy and Ben's genuine hospitality that keeps them coming back...I've been there twice now and looking forward to the next time. Now, let's talk about the food. Everything we ordered was delicious, with a few standout items worth highlighting. The homemade gravy is rich, flavorful, and comforting--the kind you'll remember long after your meal. The Chicken Katsu was perfectly cooked: fresh, crispy, and never greasy. Every bite delivered great crunch and flavor without feeling heavy. The Loco Moco is enormous and packed with flavor, so come hungry. The Katsu Curry was another favorite. While Genki Kitchen lets guests customize the spice level with seasonings on the side, I found the curry itself had a slight kick. Even so, it was delicious and something I would gladly order again. The Chicken and Waffles is another must-try. The plate comes with two large pieces of Chicken Katsu, and the portion size is impressively generous. For vegetarians, the Mt. Fuji Salad is a great option. I ordered one to go and enjoyed it. My only suggestion would be to package the crispy noodle topping separately for takeout orders so it retains its crunch instead of softening with the dressing and vegetables. Another standout was the Country Katsu, featuring two large pieces of perfectly cooked Katsu topped with the homemade gravy. I actually asked them to provide the gravy on the side. The combination was delicious, and the portion was large enough for leftovers. One pleasant surprise was the complimentary coffee and tea. Few breakfast, brunch, or lunch spots offer complimentary drinks, making it a thoughtful touch that reflects the hospitality Nancy and Dan bring to their restaurant. Great food may bring customers through the door, but genuine hospitality keeps them coming back. Genki Kitchen delivers both. If you're looking for delicious food, generous portions, and owners who truly care about their customers, Genki Kitchen is well worth a visit.

Cute family owned spot (in the former Kau Kau space). Service is fast and friendly, kids are helping out too. Prices are reasonable, especially given that it's east sac neighborhood. My okonomiyaki was solidly good, nothing particularly notable, but I was totally happy with it none the less. Now, my bf's katsu and waffles on the other hand. Way different story. I had some massive breakfast envy. HOLY EFF! I had to stop myself from stealing bites of his. Will def be coming back. And I will be ordering that katsu for myself lol read more
Stumbled upon this spot on Yelp. They took over where Kau Kau used to be at. We came Sunday evening and only 2 other tables were occupied. We decided on Gyu Don and Niku (Beef) Udon. Food came out pretty quick. Gyu don was a bit bland. The broth for niku udon was on the sweeter side initially and then it became quite salty. Flavor was pretty good though. Service was a bit lacking. The staff was on their phones most time we were there. We had to flag them for water refill. It is a nice place overall and well lit. read more

Great service! The complimentary tea or coffee was a nice touch, definitely don't see that much in Asian restaurants. Our server was super friendly and had great energy. He brought extra plates for sharing and even offered to box leftovers. The benedict was unavailable for the day, but everything we had was good. The chicken was crispy, cream was smooth, and fruit was fresh. Never had a coconut waffle before, but it was tasty. Big portions for a fair price, it's too bad pictures don't do it justice. You'll definitely leave full. read more

What a little gem! This family owned place serves a great Japanese brunch. Everything from Loco moco to donburri, udon and katsu chicken and waffles. The vibe is laid back and the food was delicious. We had the the Genki Okonomiyaki and fried Katsu chicken and waffles. The vegetable pancake was absolutely fluffy and flavorful on then inside and crunchy in the outside. I'd have eaten two! the chicken and waffles also did not disappoint. Crunchy panko chicken thighs and homemade whipped cream, but I really liked the sauces that came with the pancake on the chicken. Yum! The service was fast, friendly and attentive and the owners Nancy and Dan were a delight! read more

Great food, great service! No complaints. This place serves a Japanaese infused fusion to their brunch. It is have to say, it works! Their loco moco with two type gravy! Delicious! Their katsu fried chicken,, delicious! They offered us free coffee and tea at the time we came, so it was a nice touch. Their tea was good, as it paired well. Nothing was too heavy and everything was just right. Will definitely recommend this place to be added to your brunch favs, cause its one of mines. read more

Met my gal pals for a quick brunchy today. Wild part they are next to antique store in East Sac. I have been hearing the hype about this place and suggested we try it out. Super glad we did! We decided to go family style so we could try multiple items on the menu. The food is awesome! The service from minute one was great friendly and quick. The attention to detail in the food and service is very clear. The ambiance is chic and simple. Very clean and inviting. Eat here you will be happy you did. This place is wonderful! read more

The food was amazing! Me and my boyfriend came in sometime in the afternoon. I got the Genki Loco Moco and he ordered the Genki Benedict. The ambiance was wonderful and it felt very homey and warm. Dan was attentive and friendly towards us, and made sure we were taken care of which we deeply appreciate. During our dining experience, he made sure to check on us and we made it very clear how much we were enjoying the food. The Loco Moco tasted amazing, there is a sizable portion of white rice beneath the eggs with creamy white and brown gravy-- the presentation was beautiful. On top of it was a thick, cooked season patty of beef. I was so full and satisfied by the meal. Everything in the Genki Benedict was very good too, the potatoes were crispy and warm and I think cooked in butter. The bread was toasted with a slice of ham, and sunny side eggs on top-- which were cooked until the yolks were jammy and runny and enhanced the experience. My boyfriend couldn't help but finish the side of salted and whipped butter with his potatoes and toast! We are going back again to try more dishes! read more

Great experience here. My wife and I came with our 2.5 month old and the food and service was fantastic. The owners are very personable and friendly and they really want to make sure you are taken care of coming here. The decor is very simple but bright and feels very vintage in some aspects e.g. the fans run on a pulley and belt system. Highly recommend the kikori omelet, and my wife also really enjoyed the Benedict. Will definitely return! read more

This place is bomb AF. Probably in my top 3 breakfast spots. My list is long and I am obese so just trust me and go check it out. I'm actually eating my leftovers from yesterday right now and I needed to hop on here to pay homage. I brought the fam and we all split the Loco Moco and Katsu Fried chicken. This place has all the American breakfast classics with Japanese fusion. Our meals were perfectly executed and delicious. I can't wait to go back. read more

Im soo happy my friend and I decided to come here. From start to finish our experience was amazing. We got sat really quickly and our server was super kind and helpful. We ordered, arguably too much food for two people, but every dish was SOO GOOOOOOD. I'm not a cucumber fan but I happily ate the cucumber salad. The Gyu Don was delicious and the meat was tender and well seasoned. The Beef Udon was also an absolute win imo. We also ordered the Salmon Teriyaki bento which surprised me the most. Juicy and well seasoned salmon and crispy gyoza was one of m6 favorite things on the table. The portions are generous and I'm was glad I got to try as much as I did. Inside is really nice. And the vibe was really nice inside. Overall I would be so happy to come back and try more things! This is your sign to come by, I would definitely recommend! read more

I found this place while searching for new breakfast spots. I'm so glad I stopped by. The interior is cute and cozy. I was immediately greeted and seated. The owners of this place are so kind, sweet and welcoming. They've only been open for two months and were so excited to hear that I found them through yelp. I ordered the unagi skillet, loco moco and a side order of the buttered milk bread toast. Everything was great! The buttered toast was so delicious, it had the perfect crisp on the edges. I also got to try their yummy white peach Mimosa on the house! The owners are amazing and generous! I would definitely come back! read more

What a great find! I was curious about the restaurant that took over Kau Kau, so dropped by for a late lunch. Very cute, updated interior to reflect Japanese over the previous Hawaiian cuisine. I opted for the bento box and chose pork katsu and teriyaki beef as my two choices. Everything was so fresh and flavorful in the bento. Props for the katsu not being pounded so thin that you can't taste any of the meat. That's always been a pet peeve of mine, and Genki passed the test. The teriyaki steak was cooked perfectly and had a delicious teriyaki sauce. The bento also came with rice and a small mixed salad. I was given a complementary appetizer of sunomono salad which was lite and refreshing to my palette. The owner came over to check in how I liked my meal, which was incredibly gracious. I was the only one eating at the time I went in, so I sure hope Genki makes it as I know it's tough right now for restaurants. It's located in the antique row in East Sacramento. Do yourself a favor and check it out! read more

Excellent food and service and presentation is exceptional. The food style is Asian Fusion with a unique twist. The Loco Moco is the bomb. Chef Dan makes the patty out of a combo of beef and pork. The gravy is half brown gravy and white gravy. The egg is presented with "a twist". You'll see what I mean. There's plenty of parking during the week. I'm pretty sure it's a lot busier on the weekends. The staff is extremely cheerful and inviting. When the chef isn't busy, he'll come out and say hi to the customers. They have a new dish like a French Dip sandwich, with a special bun and delicious meat and a delicious dipping sauce. It's not on the menu yet, so you have to ask for it. The restaurant is in a center that has many artsy eclectic shops to browse before or after your meal. read more

When I heard Lynn from the beloved Tenjin had a new culinary endeavor I dropped everything and rushed over to Genki Kitchen to be one of the first to experience their soft opening. The former Kau Kau was transformed into a cool Japanese casual dining eatery with an awesome looking daruma inspired logo. Being a noodleholic I had to order the niku udon as my first dish to experience. I was not disappointed and was extemely pleased with it. The portion was great, and it was loaded with meat, much more than I was expecting. The broth was super tasty and not too sweet, but had that awesome umami flavor that I love. My fellow diners were equally pleased with their dishes, and everyone was very full and happy afterwards. Service was excellent and everyone was so friendly and kind. Since they just opened they are still perfecting their processes and refining their preparation, and they are off to a great start! read more

What a lucky find! I was looking for a breakfast spot after an appointment and found this little gem. The restaurant is bright and cheery, with references to Japan with the daruma and vintage beer posters. The service was quick and friendly. The waitress asked my name and used it whenever she checked on me. The menu featured several brunch items as well traditional Japanese plates. I was encouraged to try the chicken and waffle plate and I was not disappointed. The chicken katsu was crunchy outside and tender inside. The waffle was crunchy and also sweet, thanks to the coconut. The portion was generous. I plan to return with my family to try some of the other items. This is the kind of place you want to stay open because it makes you feel genki when you visit. read more

The service there was so very friendly and attentive even when the place was super busy but the highlight was the food which was hands down delicious! We tried the Genki okonomiyaki, Lumberjack omelette, and katsu chicken and waffles. We also had the Fuji salad, ika gesso and veggie tempura to share which was generous and tasty for three people. There are many dishes to choose from so wouldn't mind returning to try other items. read more

Such a great brunch spot tucked in a small boutique shopping center. Everything we ordered was delicious and came out fresh and hot. The steak skillet was amazing. Super flavorful and tender steak with crispy potatoes that were perfectly seasoned. It was hearty and filling without feeling too heavy. The French toast was soft, fluffy, and just the right amount of sweet. Lightly crisp on the outside and perfect with syrup, and the whipped cream and fresh fruit paired really well and added the perfect finishing touch. My husband and I also shared the shrimp tempura, which was light, crispy, and not greasy at all. The shrimp were juicy and the batter was airy and crunchy, making it a great dish to share. The vegetable omelette was fluffy and packed with fresh veggies. It tasted wholesome and well made, not dry at all. So delish!! Overall, great food, generous portions, and a really solid brunch menu. I would definitely come back and try more items. read more

we stumbled upon this place last saturday through yelp and can't wait to go back! the ambiance is so nice. great clean vibe and very welcoming for a non classy place. definitely very friendly and warm with the wait service. during our meal, the owner, Dan, came by to introduce himself and thanked us for our visit. i asked him how long this place has been opened and he said its only been a few months - they opened in January 2026. their service is just amazing and they even offering free coffee or hot tea with every meal. as for the food, as soon as i took my first bite, i was ready to plan my next visit. if you're looking for a fusion between breakfast food items and Japanese food, this is the place to be. a part of me wants to gate keep this place cuz' they will definitely be blowing up soon and we will have to wait hours for a table. my family ordered the french toast, the loco moco, and the chicken katsu. my daughter says that their french toast is even better than tower cafe. their owner says that they use milk bread from Mahoroba japanese bakery on freeport blvd. the whipped cream was homemade and fresh! my hubby loved the loco moco and ate every bite of it. he even asked more of the brown gravy. i loved the chicken katsu which was lightly fried to perfection with scrambled eggs and potatoes. i'm looking forward to future visits! my own dilemma is to pick something new or get the same. read more

Today was a lucky day and found this hidden gem! This is the best Loco Moco that I ever had, the meat was so tender with Japanese style egg and smothered with two types of gravy. When the chef came out to greet us which was a very nice gesture, we found out the meat patty in the loco moco was mixed with beef and pork which explains why the patty is so tender, other traditional Loco Moco that I had were usually beef and very tough. The ika geso was crispy with light battered, tasty and definitely not oily compare to others. There are so many more dishes we wanted to try. Can't wait to come back next week! read more

An awesome find! A friend wanted to meet up for late breakfast/early lunch. I was in the mood for Japanese, and lo and behold, I found the Genki Kitchen in the old antique mall where Evans used to be. The food was surprisingly amazing and I can't believe it's not on anyone's radar yet. The owners were very friendly and welcoming. I got the loco moco and the hamburger patty was made with care, and reminded me of my Dad's Nissei hamburger. Get the shake pan, toasted milk bread and the geso. I am coming back as often as I can days off, which is a rare occurrence. I have to spread the news about this hidden gem! read more

We were in the area and wanted to try a new restaurant with a different style of food you don't find too often. The food was amazing, we ordered the loco moco, country fried katsu, and side order of milk bread. Both gravies for the loco moco were delicious. The katsu maintained its crispiness even with gravy on top. The texture was great and the gravy didn't overpower the other flavors on the plate. The milk bread wasn't too sweet and had great texture. Definitely want to try their milk bread French toast next time. Nancy, our server, was very sweet, welcoming, and friendly. Great service, good food, and big portions. Would definitely come back again to try their other items on the menu. read more
