You don't go to a revolving sushi spot expecting the best sushi in town. With places like this, variety is the real appeal. That said, Genki's biggest issue is inconsistency. One visit the sushi is great; the next, it's mediocre at best. What has been consistent, unfortunately, is the steady increase in prices. We used to visit about twice a month, but it had been several months since our last stop before today. This visit was... just okay. At this point, Genki may have run its course for us. The quality is too inconsistent to justify the continued price hikes. read more

Right as we walked in, I shoulda listened to the red flags. We were second waiting in line and it took a while for us to be seated. There weren't a lot of clean tables, we were offered to sit at the bar or wait 20 minutes for a clean table. First of all, why don't they have more tables and why don't they have staff bussing? Ok. Fine. Whatever. The bar it is. I noticed there were lots of plates on the belt. I had my first plate which was the squid. I didn't expect it to be lukewarm and slimy. I didn't even finish the other piece in fear of being food poisoned. Even their yakult was warm. I proceeded to take another plate which was overpriced and greasy. Most of the plates were overpriced I my opinion. Also, it took a while for our waters to be filled up..so long that my kid was sucking on ice cubes -down to the last drop. There were too many overpriced plates on the belt with small portions. The food was terrible. There were too many cooks cooking and not enough people eating. For about 8-9 plates, it was almost $50. Never again. Everything was less than stellar - service, food, read more

Last day in the Seattle area and we were all craving something light and fresh - sushi won. The location isn't so bad, a ton of parking. You are seated and there's a conveyor belt with food you can grab from, or you can order through the QR code as well. Pretty decent sushi and you will get stuffed. If you're in the area I would recommend you try it out. Soups are a bit small but hey, just order more. Rolls get out fast and you eat the even faster. read more

It has been a while, but we came he for my sushi craving and it was a little late to go anywhere else. I'm glad that we came here because I enjoyed their garlic seared salmon, plain udon, geso karaage, and the mentai seared salmon roll. You don't see the picture of the mentai seared salmon roll in my photos. I forgot to take that photo, like I almost forgot about the California roll! One of the things I like about going to sushi spots is the wasabi! The wasabi here, actually burns your nose, which is a plus! The service here is good, everyone is polite and busy! As for the ambiance, I really like the conveyor belt, and that they are providing QR scan to order, as well. The sushi comes out much quicker that way, instead of waiting for it to come around the belt. It's a plus that they have booths available for customers, too. Even though the food here is a little more pricey, I like coming here for some sushi and udon! read more

i thought i had left a review already... i've been going to genki for a long time now. in the past 10 years it was SO good, so NOT good... and i thiiiink... it is back to good! i recently popped in and was happy to see a few familiar faces, even happier to have some of the best sushi at genki in a long time. they recently launched mobile ordering when seated but still working through it - not everything has been posted on it so you may need to order through staff still and you can't pay mobile either. the staff is so helpful and nice. the onion nigiri is my #1, followed by my classic flaming hot roll. those 2 rolls are the ONLY REASON i come back here! nowhere else makes anything as tasty. order it (don't get it off the belt) and try for yourself. the onion nigiri includes mayo on salmon nigiri. the flaming hot is spicy mayo, tempura flakes, jalapeño, cream cheese and salmon. read more

Unfortunately we just left without finishing our food because a bug started crawling on the table and then we turned around to spot a dead cockroach right by the belt. Won't be coming back and we both still feel sick from what we saw. read more

I came here once but I was not all that impressed. I haven't been back since as I didn't think the sushi was very good. Not that the quality was bad but the flavors from their specialties were not very good. The location was clean and the service was pretty good but in my experience I didn't feel that it was worth going back for. Compared to other sushi spots this one is one I would rate the lowest in terms of taste of food. read more

Probably one of the most expensive conveyor belt sushi places I've been. Salmon nigiri is $4.85 a plate. It's delicious, yes, but too expensive for me to visit often. There were only 3 tables full including mine and I'm guessing it's because of the cost. The bathroom was clean but covered in graffiti ( not the cool kind either). Even the soda is expensive at $3.15 read more

Genki delivered a solid dinner. Services was reasonable, nothing amazing. Had to pretty much order off the menu, since the selection on the belt was inconsistent. The menu card is quite small, so we ended up with a crab based roll we didn't want, but that's on us mostly. Interior was clean is, but bland so didn't feel cozy. It was basic. Pricing was surprisingly higher than I expected, especially considering that we basically ordered from menu anyway. read more

Save yourself the "convenience fee" from ordering online pickup as their system rarely seems to pick up our order, so I end up waiting while a manual order gets put in any way and still get charged. Food quality has gone downhill recently while prices have gone up. We'll likely go elsewhere for our sushi. read more

Visiting from Hawaii and had to compare. Genki in WA had more variety of sushi, salmon slices were thicker and the garlic salmon was definitely garlicy! Service was nice; staffing was nice and patient with impatient customers! Kudos to the staff! read more

I'm honestly surprised this conveyor belt sushi restaurant is alive and kicking still. It even outlived Sushiland! My first time at Genki was in Factoria and I was never impressed with their spam and imitation crab stick nigiri. I guess this is good for people that don't want to try raw fish and still want that sushi experience. But for me, this is going to sound super pretentious, this ain't real sushi in my eyes. I mean, yes they do have salmon, tuna, and all that good stuff, but when you only see just the cooked stuff on the belt, I'm going to judge. This Renton location is better though because they do actually put out the raw stuff on the belt. So that's good. I don't know if they use a machine to shape the rice for the nigiri, but they be thick! If you like rice a lot, this is great for you. But this is too much rice for my comfort on a nigiri. I honestly had like 3 or 4 plates before I got full. And normally I would get 8 on average! So that says a lot. And I saw another customer just straight up not eat the rice and created a giant pile! This place isn't for me. I've been too scarred by my first time experience at a Genki. The vibe doesn't feel right and in my opinion, there are better sushi restaurants and also sushi conveyor belt places elsewhere. Don't let me stop you from coming here if it's still your jam. Enjoy what you enjoy! read more

This is a solid spot to quickly grab some sushi if you are hungry and in a time crunch. My sister and I stopped by Sunday afternoon at about 12:15PMish. We were seated essentially right away and since this is conveyor belt sushi, we didn't have to wait for food to arrive. We just grabbed whatever we wanted off the conveyor belt, which is super convenient and easy to do! The staff were friendly and helpful when we needed their assistance. The restaurant was tidy from what I could tell. It was fairly quiet in terms of noise volume, which was relaxing and made it easy to talk to other people while you eat. Overall, it was a great experience, and I would definitely stop by again if I am craving sushi in the area! read more

I like this Genki sushi since their aren't that much places that serves sushi on a conveyor belt anymore. Their staff are nice and the place is very chill. It's always fun how you can see everything and grab what you want. Ofcourse, if you know what you want your can order to your specific likings. It's just nice to see your options before you buy. You can get carried away just picking up stuff and before you know it, you have a wall of plates in front of you. My favorite would have to be the Garlic Salmon Roll, Dragon Roll, Rainbow Roll & Takoyaki. So what are you waiting for. read more

Disappointing. Dejected. Arrived at 7:00 PM on a Friday evening for dinner. We put our name and phone number down for 2 as the hostess said it would be a 30 minute wait. We sat down and waited for less than 10 minutes when she called us. We got seated at a booth table right next to the conveyor belt. A server came and took our drink orders while we were looking at the menu. As we were seeing what we could pick from the conveyor belt, the pictures of the food on the menu looked really good. However, when we selected a couple of California Rolls, Dynamite Roll, Shrimp Tempura roll and a couple of others, they did not taste good at all! For instance, the Avocado tasted old, the rolls were missing salt, sesame oil on the seaweed and some seasoning. California Rolls were very bland. Could only eat it by dipping it into spicy mayo, otherwise it was tasteless. The Shrimp Tempura didn't taste fresh, either. It was missing something as well. Not sure what it was, but all of the rolls were pretty bland. Even the basic egg and Spam rolls were dry, and tasteless. Homemade Spam and Egg tastes much better! I have had much better sushi elsewhere. My 3 favorite sushi rolls were the worst at this place. I suggest more seasoning and fresher ingredients when making the rolls. Probably won't be back again, though. Whatever my girlfriend ate, she got allergic to something as well since she got rashes all over right before we left... read more

The food has gone way downhill . Nothing was fresh! We sent rolls back that had WILTED lettuce and were overly fishy in taste. The rice is terrible . Health department needs to check them out . read more

We came Tuesday afternoon around 5:45pm and I'm sure the closing time is 8pm. The waitress had table for us right away, right after we asked for ginger( never got it) and beverages. We realized that the whole conveyor belt 90% was empty, sadly noticed there was one Mexican lady worked very hard to make all those rolls. And the rest of the Asian gang standing around try to get ordered but mostly our orders are never taken at the first place. Three of our rolls made by our Waitress... what is just happened?! Terrible !Terrible.! The sounds came from one of the gang hanging out sushi bar. I can not believe this place is still open. I never had sashimi here or Factory location which is closed already. Quality never meets sushi restaurant standards, however, it convenient. Ambiance is hit and miss. read more

First time back to this location since covid was over. impression is this business has changed quite a bit, table and sitting has a cleaner look and seemed more organized. Sushi quality is fresh and good, quite a lot of fushion items which contain mayo and sauces to suite the american cliental's taste. Not all new creation was well accepted according to our pallet, still prefer the tradition nigiri sushi. We noticed their fish slices were cut thicker compare to their competitor in the same line which their fish cut was like paper thin and shameful appearance. Service was efficient, and for other's information, no cash accepted at this place, charge only! read more

Very solid quick lunch spot. To be honest, we mainly ordered Seared Salmon, $4.85 per plate for 2 pieces. Their seared salmon is goooood, my go to! Price is decent. Their other sushi isn't so bad too. Blue plate $2.35 Gold/yellow $2.65 Green $3.75 Red $4.85 Grey $5.55 Black $6.25 Customer service is very good. They are respectful and all.

They only have rolling sushi on Friday and Saturdays. That was not advertised. Everything is in packets from soy sauce to wasabi and ginger. During your meal they hand you things that you have to reach over the nonworking conveyor belt to grab. Sushi was average in taste. Salmon strips were basically just fried skin. Green tea had almost no flavor, mostly just hot water taste. Ramen tasted like Top Ramen, very plain and nothing special. Service was fine, a bit impersonal. Overall experience was nothing special. Management could take a better interest in their business to improve. read more

Went here years ago and after that bad experience we vowed not to return. Thankfully broke our vow and gave it another go. This time we were pleasantly surprised. The restaurant was clean. WaitStaff seated us quickly and were pleasant. The sushi was fresher and tastier than before. Typically i end up grabbing a bunch of plates because I'm still hungry. This time I was full after the beef udon and 1 black plate sushi roll, which show their generous portion size. read more

I ordered a dragon roll, california roll, and rainbow roll, as I do at every sushi restaurant. The service was good and they brought me wasabi, ginger, and water, however, the wasabi is in packets.. and not fresh. I have to use multiple packets which are tedious to open. The sushi is cheap, but you get what you pay for. My dragon roll was burnt! And the rainbow roll didn't have any cucumber in it, it's almost comical. The rolls basically fell apart when I picked them up. Don't forget to ask for chopsticks! Cause they won't remember to bring you any. read more

I haven't been to a Genkis since Hawaii! The quality of this place is really good and the conveyor belt was full of variety of rolls. When I came in, i was greeted right away and checked on immediately - I liked their positive and friendly attitudes, the employees there seem to have fun together there. As for sushi - I had spider roll, seared salmon, salmon/shrimp tempura roll, and kaarage. The kaarage was mediocre and didn't come with sauce, so I requested for it (spicy Mayo). The prices were kinda obscene, specialty rolls $4 and up a plate, whoa! Inflation has hit the restaurants. I wanted to try their calamari and squid, but they ran out unfortunately. Overall, it was tasty, but I'll have to sell an organ to eat there next time read more

A nice place for conveyor sushi, the sushi is conveyor belt quality. They have a machine that forms the rice and someone to put the sig on cover and place on the belt. This could be so much more. They serve wasabi in packets and they give you one, which is not necessarily a bad thing if you don't like a lot, but if you do you need to plan ahead as the staff are very seldom seen. I know is it's a hot button but if you want a tip at the end-earn it, it is not a given that you are going to get your "suggested" 20%. Do more than just drop the settings and water on the table. As far as the variety wow it was stacked with goodness today. The rolls and selection was bountiful. Strange to see cheesecake at a sushi place but what ever floats your boat. One dish stood out and that was the crispy salmon. Never had it before but it was several pieces of salmon skin on that were fried crisp. Very tasty, and the spicy tuna is always a hit. I would also like to see a low sodium suya available. I will be back again as it is so close to my office. read more

This is close by my place. Ordered two rolls, wanted to give it a try and quick Sushi fixed. Spicy tuna, good chunk pieces with seasoning, good kick, four pieces. Salmon skin rolls, a lot of rice for this one, not a lot of favor, skin is crispy. Price is ok for what it is. It is not the best but not the worst. read more

For the smaller size plates that these folks make, they're not very fresh. It used to be better and offer a better variety but now it seems to be more recycled stuff that's been sitting around on the belt. The rolls aren't made well and I had a few things like the egg rolls and salmon bits that were cold and soggy. I asked about it and they were eager to bring a fresh one but I wonder if they just took the old stuff and dunked in a fryer again. The chicken karage had almost no breading or coating compared to a few months ago when it was better. It's not worth the trouble to try again. read more

I'm very happy to have a revolving sushi place in the neighborhood, and it happens to be the last Genki Sushi in Washington state! I often order takeout from their website and do pick up; the process is very easy and you don't have to wait in line. I have also dined in, and the experience was just as pleasant. Staff were very attentive and the sushi tasted fresh even at 4pm. If you are ordering the hot appetizers (e.g., karaage) or entrees (e.g., noodles), it's better to place an order with a server because you will receive a freshly prepared batch. read more

Genki sushi is a tried and true dependable kaitenzushi establishment. I usually don't order sashimi in America since I'm picky with quality so my review is okay on the cooked and vegetarian sushi. Everything tastes fresh and if you don't see it on the conveyor belt, you can ask for it and then they make it all there for you. This is especially helpful if you want something super fresh, too. This is a great experience for kids and adults alike. It's really fun to see food going around and then choosing what you want. There's somewhat of a barrier to entry if you're not familiar with Japanese food. When I bring out of town friends here, I have to explain everything but it's an enjoyable experience no the less. read more
