This is my neighborhood joke in the wall sushi spot. Feel they have the best sushi as well as other variety of food. Cooked food as well if sushi is not your thing. Enjoy sitting at the bar having my sushi n cocktail. Stacy is an excellent bartender. Sammy is an excellent server. The owner Ping and his wife always go above and beyond to make sure you're satisfied. Nice peaceful atmosphere. read more

The staff are kind of rude, and my friend found several small black hairs in his sushi. And I'm not kidding, hair was in his fucking bowl of rice as well. Imbedded in the rice. Be weary of small hairs in your food. Or maybe just don't come here. read more

Sushi rolls is good. Sushi pieces, many fish is tough. If you get Sushi deluxe with 12 pieces, you will get 6 different fish 2 times and tuna roll, and soup. Tuna is very heavy and fishy, and dark. Get yourself separate pieces, you will be better off. Recommendation to staff is to not bring check, while people are still eating. Otherwise, service was good. read more

My go-to sushi spot on Staten Island. Prices are great and food is always good. I order for delivery 90% of the time but when I go there to eat, it is always very clean with quick service. Their plating is worth mention when you eat in compared to the usual take out containers. read more

Always fresh sushi rolls, generous with the fish / ingredients. Love that the place has a casual vibe, yet that fancy touch. The prices are very reasonable and they do accommodate special requests when ordering. I can't speak about the service while dining in as I usually order take out. Highly recommend this wonderful establishment! read more

The food is good and the service is great. Wish they would have and use gluten-free soy sauce for those who have gluten intolerance. Many Japanese restaurants are offering gluten-free options, including Miso soup. If you want a more peaceful dinner time, go before 6 pm. Takeout is always ready when you call ahead. read more

Average japanese spot. I ordered takeout from here with my friends before for a sushi night. I also came here one time for dine in and it was fine. I wasn't highly impressed overall but I was satisfied. We ordered a bunch of rolls -- salmon avocado, eel avocado, spicy crunchy tuna, alaska roll, etc. they were all fresh, but kind of small on size. The pricing is decent. I would order back from here but if you want higher end sushi, this wouldn't be the place to get food from. read more

Amazing sushi I order from here at least once or twice a week. Highly recommended! Look no further.

Went here for a quick dinner. Clean space and lots of parking. Service is quick and efficient and the waitress staff were friendly. The sushi was arranged nicely and was decent and good. I personally thing the sushi could have used a little bit more rice to even out the ratio between the filling and rice . Nice place for something quick if you are in a hurry. read more

I've been coming here for 5 years and, to be honest, the consistency of the food and service has remained relatively consistent -- average. It's a good place for sushi, and they have some great lunch specials for those looking for a good deal. Personally, I find their entrees to be quite small and average in taste, but visually pleasing on the plate to tantalize the aesthetic of the food. Overall Genki Sushi is a decent and clean-looking spot for takeout and/or dining in for classic sushi rolls or something extravagant like their Sakura or October Rolls, both of which are fantastic. read more

Never had a bad experience there. The fish is always fresh and and servers are always nice and helpful. Very comfortable and laidback atmosphere. read more

service needs work. No one is attentive, sashimi was standing by the bar for 20 min at least before they paid attention to me or it. I don't like my raw fish waiting that long. I also saw them clean something off our appetizer plate before serving it to us. I recommend trying some place else. There are tons In the area. I can't say the food was bad but I really love good service, it's what makes my experience eating out so much better! read more

My family and I have been coming here for quite a few years now. I heard the restaurant's been around for more than 15 years. I just have to say, the food is always so good and consistent. The fish and sea urchin are ALWAYS fresh!! Everything is actually very reasonably priced. Love the ambiance and the staff is always so welcoming and friendly. The takeout photo shows a lot of the favorites that we always order from them. read more

Don't Order from here unless you want hair in your food. I'm highly disappointed as this isn't the first problem I've encountered with genki sushi. As i read the review below me, i can't imagine how or why someone else had hair in their food the same day i did. I started with a salad after a couple of bites i encountered a piece of hair. I put the salad to the side and before i can open my sushi container, i noticed a piece of hair in my sushi as well. Very aggravating knowing i spend so much money at this place and no one in my family even wanted to touch their food they were so disgusted. read more

GIMME GIMME GIMME I must say that 10 years ago, my mindset was my seafood would always be cooked. Flash forward to now, and I have acquired a much more sophisticated palate. When I order, I ask for extra wasabi. Everything that I have ordered from here is better than impeccable. I suggest: The genki roll and the spicy salmon crunch. These are the ones I always order from myself. However, when ordering with friends we always share and everything is spectacular. Love their edamame too as well as their fried desserts: fried cream puffs fried oreos fried cheesecake read more

Damn this place is... good! Coming from LA to visit the boy's family, his friend raved and raved about this place which meant it was either mediocre or actually really good. We took a chance, and I'm glad we did! Service is impeccable and the fish is super fresh. The yellow tail sashimi was sliced as big as a playing card! Rolls were just the right size (loved the spicy scallop) and start at just $3. The green tea tempura ice cream was insane. Did I mention the lychee vodka martini was only $5.50? Yum. read more

I've been here a few times over the years and it's never been anything special. Just ok, but never had any issues until now. Sat there for close to 30 mins without having anyone come try to take our order. There were 3 other tables in the restaurant that were all there before us so it was not busy. Plenty of staff to help but nobody actually does anything. I wound up walking out because the service was awful. The first time I've ever done something like that! I can see from other recent reviews that service here has been a consistent issue. I gave 2 stars only because this was the first time I've had a real bad experience in this otherwise mediocre restaurant. read more

Small and cozy, complete with a fish tank upon entry. The food is fresh, and prices reasonable for sushi. I am a fan of their Bento Box. You get a nice amount of food and variety. Nicely decorated. Service can be on the slower side, but just adds to the enjoyment of a dinner out ( unless you're in a rush :) read more

Today is Wednesday, 3/7 and I came to Genki with six other friends. The only reason why I came back is because their service yesterday was really good and the food was good too. The waiter was super friendly (Asian female with glasses). So that means we came here two days in a row. We ordered kani salad both days because that's my favorite appetizer. Today, however, the kani salad had a spoiled milk taste and it was sour. It smelled rotten too. We just told one of the waiters (Asian baldish guy with glasses) that the mayo in the kani salad probably went bad. He kept arguing with us and he had a really stinking bad attitude. As he was bringing the kani salad in, he gave us a disgusted face. He brought the kani salad into the kitchen, came back out and said "it doesn't taste bad. Everyone tasted it". It shouldn't have been big deal. customers were just kindly saying the kani salad tasted sour... instead this guy argued with us and had a bad attitude about it. Some people also said the Asian bald guy with glasses is probably the manager. And as the manager, you should have better service. I have friends who come here really often! But i will never step foot into this restaurant or eat their food ever again. Customer Service is really important. Your food could be mediocre, but if you had great service and friendly, people will come back. Maybe something the restaurant could improve on. Considering how often my friends come here, it's sad to say, they will never go to Genki again either. read more

Yum! One of the better sushi locations on Staten Island. Enjoyed a wonderful dinner with my Mom here recently. The sushi is good but not great. I'm pretty sure they became popular because of their chicken fried rice with the "special sauce" which definitely lives up to the hype. I'd come here just for the appetizers! The rock shrimp is my favorite by far! Overall, this place is not as special as some spots in the City but a solid option on Staten Island. read more

Decent at best. The special rolls are obviously better than the regular rolls, but I got a lobster roll and it had way too much mayo on it. I'll stick to my regular sushi place. read more

Today i picked up several sushi rolls.When we began eating then i found a nasty looking dead bug ontop of 1 roll.I called Genki to inform them,THEY DIDN'T CARE!! I find that mind boggling.They told me it wasn't fly season..what does that mean? THERE is a Nasty bug on the roll..ALL i wanted was my money back. DON'T GO THERE!!! those rolls should be called "West Nile Roll" VERY UNPROFESSIONAL!! EAT AT YOUR OWN RISK!! I will upload the photo read more

Little bro and I went on sushi date at Genki. We got there right after their lunch specials which was kind of a bummer but the prices weren't that bad. Service was prompt, perhaps too eager like can I please FINISH my food before you take my plate away?! Uh BIG PET PEEVE! I had a Sapporo, shared some seaweed salad, and ordered a few rolls for the both of us. Bonus points to the chefs for making me a roll that I like that wasn't on the menu (salmon and mango roll- seriously awesome), the tuna roll was okay but mostly rice which overpowered the tiny piece of tuna, yellowtail and jalepeno roll had a nice kick to it, and brother enjoyed his eel roll and finishing up the rest of the rolls. All in all, I have a few favorite places in DC but have yet to find a sushi place at home in Staten that compare. Genki is decent and I would probably go again but not necessarily crave it. read more

I called today 20 mins before they closed and asked for a delivery. He was rude and asked me where is it. Then had to confirm in Chinese to his other worker. Kept me in hold to tell me I have to pay cash and I told him I only had my card. His response was No he's not coming back to the store. I couldn't believe him and felt like this should be a sign for future customers. Trust me I can order from many other places. Literally pissed off read more

Excellent food, always on point, service was great, prices are very reasonable. Lychee martini was oh so good. I've been going there for a long time and have never had a bad meal. I go to the one on Arden Avenue. The place is slightly intimate. The bar is pretty extensive. read more
