    Soft Shell Crab
    Lovey Y.

    Who doesn't love genki sushi? It's a great place to grab a bite by yourself, family or pretty much with anyone. It's definitely one of those spots that locals really enjoy due to their convenience & multiple locations. I'm usually at the pearlridge location but since I was in the area, decided to grab lunch here with my family. It's been a few months since I've had genkis. When ordering, you have to scan a QR code. They also had a QR to link to their WiFi (it was quick & easy). The ordering system itself on your phone was a bit confusing. My family & i wanted to put it all on the same bill but use separate phones. We eventually gave up & just ordered off one phone. I didn't like how you had to enter your email & phone number. I felt like it was unnecessary but it's ok. Ok on to the food - My go to's are always the onion salmon, spicy ahi & soft shell crab. I noticed they had a special on mentaki salmon bite which is a 1 pc nigiri that came on a big piece of nori. It was very flavorful but was $4ish for 1pc, not exactly budget friendly. I also ordered the sukiyaki bowl as I was craving for it. The portion was extremely small. I felt like it was Keiki size. Don't get me started on the soft shell crab... it was small as well. I get inflation and everything is expensive these days but dang... I didn't realize how small the portions are here now. The nigiri to my surprise, were still big pieces of fish so that was great. The service here was reallly great compared to other locations. The servers seemed like they loved their job & constantly made sure we were ok. Overall, I love genki's. But it's not as affordable as it used to be. Definitely not a good bang for your buck. It wasn't a bad experience. Just crazy how much you can spend here, considering it's a more laid back establishment, But you can't really find anything like it.

    Not sure if that was dirty, stained, or mildew/mold
    Darcel B.

    Haven't visited for a bit. I was very surprised to see that the upkeep was lacking. I was unsure if the train cars that bring the food was dirty or had mildew/mold which caused concern. Service was not great this time around. We had to ask for individual dishes to put our wasabi in 3 times. We used the call button to get a refill of tea and it took both tables in our party to grab the workers attention. When pressing the button for the check that was another wait. The food is always ok nothing that wows and nothing that really disappoints. I did odred ramen to try it out and I wish the soup was served hotter. Just a personal preference, when I have soup I like it hot. It was warm, enough so that it was safe to feed my granddaughter immediately. Nothing wrong with that.

    Dragon roll
    daniel r.

    Food here is not the same as it was before ! Service is not a good! Attention to detail and people trying to force you to pay for the bill when you're not ready to leave yet. Food quality is bad, too much mayo, not offering for condiments and utilities. Current manager or whoever is working does not really care about what the customer. 15 minutes to wait for dragon roll that taste like Ase is a complete waste of time

    Sushi parfait sea salad spicy tuna

    This was always my go to location when I wanted genkis but my last couple visits has been going downhill. So second time I had to drop my rating... The service was terrible. Went in and got seated right away but anything after was terrible. Wanted refills on our drinks so we push the button and the waiter just stood in front too busy on his Apple Watch. Finally a lady came to refill waters for another table and she ended up helping us as well. At the end of our meal we push the button again to get the check and same thing. This time I saw our waiter look at the screen they have up front and turn off the notification or something because the lights stopped blinking and he then proceeded to go on his Apple Watch. We then pushed it again and he looked at their screen and walked away from it. Finally a lady came near us to clean a table so we asked her and she brought the check and the card reader. Worst service ever and quite frankly they're lucky I even left 15% tip... I shouldn't even have tipped with the service they provided. The food... it was coming out quickly but some things were obviously not fresh. The stuffed mushrooms were cold and some other fried dishes weren't hot. The fish was ok but it lacked flavor. Spicy tuna was bland along with a lot of other dishes. Once my go to sushi spot, now I might have to stay away. I may give them one more try because they used to give the best service as you'd see in my original rating so hopefully they improve but if not, that would make it 3 strikes for me.

    Yikes. Their portions went down while prices went up! The one thing that got me was them charging us .50 for a keiki cup! We thought it would be complimentary since we were dining in. My kiddo doesnt like drinking out of anything besides his own bottle so I wish they told us about the charge

    One of my go to fast food sushi spot. Went on a Friday and surprisingly it wasn't as busy as I thought it would be. Was instantly greeted and sat. Unfortunately the fryers were down so no Fried items. 3 stars because our baked muscle was pretty torched and one of the sushi specials did not look like the picture advertised. All in all it still good.

    $6 Fried Squid Combo. What in the shrinkflation?! Absolutely disappointing.
    Ashley M.

    $6 Fried Squid Combo. What in the shrinkflation Genki Kapolei?! The portion was absolutely disappointing. This was more like a snack than a meal. The staff weren't overbearing, which I appreciated, and service was fine overall. But this Kapolei location portion-to-price ratio is awful. When you're paying sit-down prices for fast-food-sized servings, it really makes you think twice about coming back. Between the small serving sizes and the rising prices, this visit at this location left me feeling like Genki is banking more on the name than on value.

    Agedashi Tofu

    This Genki Sushi is located in Kapolei Commons next to Crumbl and Corepower Yoga. The parking lot is large and has never been an issue. Upon arriving to the restaurant, you can scan a QR code to put your name, number and party size and they will text you when your table is ready. We like to come early on the weekends or early for dinner because it does get busy and the wait can get long. We usually don't have to wait too long, especially if you save the QR code link and add your name when you're on your way there. They have lots of booths and counters in the restaurant, but sometimes will not fill the whole place if they are short staffed. Upon being seated you will receive a QR code where you can scan it and order via your phone. There are also plastic menus at the table. You can also order through your server if you choose to. Mostly everything you order comes by train tableside, but if it is a hot item or something special they will deliver it to your table. Some of our favorites to order is their spicy ahi because it's a little different than most places and we like the tanginess of the sweet chili sauce that they use in their ahi. Seafood dynamite has shrimp tempura inside with imitation crab salad on top, finished with torched garlic mayo and unagi sauce. Some fried items such as: agedashi tofu (lightly breaded crispy tofu in a savory sauce, fried squid and vegetable tempura (string beans, mushroom, eggplant, pumpkin). We like to wash it down with some hot green tea (per request). Price is average for the amount and quality that you get. Prices are by plate color and range from $1.95-$6.75. The service is pretty average, but it's not bad. Everyone is friendly and most of the time they're really good about checking on you. Overall, this place has been one of our go-to sushi spot in Kapolei for years and will definitely come back again and again.

    I placed an online order at 12:32, estimated time was 15 mins. Im on my way to genkis when I get a text message at 12:49 saying my order should be ready. I reached genkis around 1, walked to the register and no one's behind the counter. Waited another 5 mins while people just walk by looking at me not saying anything. Finally someone comes by and asked if I needed help. Order wasnt even ready till 1:30. Why even provide an estimated time or send a text if the order isn't even ready or close to being ready. No one even updates the orders.

    Ultimate Trio Nigiri
    Angel S.

    My party and I went at 4:30pm on a Saturday. There were not a lot of people so service was quick. Food tasted amazing as per usual. Servers were very attentive in bringing food, water, and the check. My only complaint is cleanliness and prices. The little bullet train and its pad didn't look like they have been cleaned in a while. The prices are HIGH! I feel like a lot of their items are overcharged which is why I dont come as often.

    Whenever I come back home to visit, Genki sushi is either my first stop or need to go on my first day. This place definitely changed in the past 3 years. Went around 4pm and got seated quickly. No iPads to order so I figured the staff were going to take our order. Waited 5 mins still no one checking on us so I had asked how do we order and replied, you need to scan the barcode and order on your phone (I thought it's just a menu). So tried ordering, internet wasn't loading so I called someone again and told them it's not loading can they just take my order which they did. Food is always good, a lot of rice in the nigiri which got me fool real quick. Other than the service everything looked the same. I wish they had the iPad and belt still. That was the best part. Not sure if other locations has it.

We mentioned to the waitstaff that it was our first visit, but unfortunately, we didn't receive much guidance and the initial interaction felt rather abrupt. Ordering is done either through an iPad-style menu or by scanning a QR code on your phone. I appreciated that they offered gluten-free soy sauce, and another staff member was kind enough to answer a few of my questions, but overall, we were pretty much left to figure out the ordering system on our own. Once we ordered, our food arrived very quickly via the conveyor system. The presentation was definitely aesthetically pleasing, but I was surprised by the sushi rice, which was noticeably brown and seemed to be seasoned or marinated with something. The waitress assured me there was no soy sauce in it, but I'm accustomed to traditional nigiri with white sushi rice, so I decided not to eat it. The ambiance is chill and casual, but service from the live staff was on the slower side. As for the sushi itself, the fish was just okay --I've definitely had better. Pricing was reasonable at around $100 for three people, so that was a plus. Overall, this place just wasn't my cup of tea. I'm glad we gave it a try, but I probably won't be rushing back.

The restaurant was not busy, and we arrived about an hour before closing. We were patient while waiting for our food, but it took a long time to arrive.

From where we were seated, we could see the kitchen. It didn't appear busy, and the staff had already started their closing cleanup while it was only around 8:30 p.m. It seemed possible they were focused on closing duties and may have overlooked incoming orders. Our drinks also took quite a while to arrive, which added to the overall experience. This was our third visit to the Waikele location because we wanted to give it another chance and see if improvements had been made. Unfortunately, we didn't notice much difference. On a positive note, the Pearlridge location continues to provide much better service and has been our favorite Genki Sushi location so far.
