Genki sushi has always been alright in my book. This location was one of the better ones I've visited before. The sushi seemed to be more freshly made than some of the other locations. They also have a larger seating area, which is good because that means less waiting time. It was pretty crowded for the lunch hour that I came, but we got seated quickly. They did change their menu, updated it a little and raised prices. They dont list things by plate color anymore, perhaps a good marketing technique so that you don't see the prices anymore. Sneaky sneaky genki! read more

Genki Sushi - Hair on edamame - Sushi Bars Near Me - Waipahu, Hawaii

What's so exciting of watching sushi on color coded dishes rotating on a conveyor belt?!? I wouldn't mind if the sushi had a great taste but Genki Sushi tops the mediocre list! Ugh! Thank goodness they had seats compared to a place in Japan where it's standing room only! Depending on what color dish you pick up/order from the menu, the prices range from $1.50, 2,20, 2,80, 3,80 and 4.80. They also served fried items from $1.50 - 3.80, hand rolls $1.50 - 2.20 and of course desserts. They had a printed menu in front of the condiments and the waitress took our order of items not in rotation. The fish was definitely not the highest quality. The service was okay with constant refills of water and ocha. They had the typical sushi dishes with some local faves like spam, poke and hot dog sushi. Only in Hawaii!! After we left at 6:15, there was a huge line everywhere! I'm scratching my head wondering why these people would wait for such undistinguished sushi. My advice, walk 5 stores over and eat at Kunio's instead. read more

Very rarely do i ever put a business on blast but this got me way past boiling today. So my 5yo has been craving chawan mushi from Genki sushi so i decided lets go as a family. I understand the new restrictions with the covid but they just outright refused my service. I was honest and upfront saying i have 6 kids and asked for 2 tables to accommodate the new restrictions. She kept going on to explain that its only 5, holding her hand up to me as if i dont know what 5 is. So here im asking so if we split the party into 2 and get 2 tables why isnt it ok? We can get 2 tickets, 2 tables right? No she insisted it wasnt allowed cause only 5 can. Im already getting irritated at the way shes talking to me so i ask so are you saying that you are refusing me and my children service? She wouldnt say no but stand there and explain its only 5 allowed. I even asked if we split the party ourselves and check in separately is that still not ok? She said well because now we know youre a large party, cannot. WTF!!! so i ask her to explain why its not ok to split up and she said its because you guys will going back and forth btwn tables. We aint trying to have a party or club or whatever. We just wannt sit, eat and leave. So i ask her why cant we split and she has the nerve to go and say because it wont be fair to the other parties that want to come in if they have a larger group they have to wait longer. Omfg why is their group allowed and mine isnt? So i kept kept asking her are you seriously refusing me service? She wouldnt say yes so another coworker of hers standing behind me says yes for her. Way past livid i walk out saying this was stupid. FUCKING BOOO ON YOU WAIKELE GENKI FOR NOT HAVING THE FUCKING SENSE AND CAPABILITIES TO ACCOMMODATE A FAMILY THAT JUST WANTED TO HAVE DINNER!!!! PLEASE GET YOUR FUCKING ACT TOGETHER! BUT KUDOS TO KAPOLEI GENKI SUSHI THAT WAS BETTER PREPARED TO ACCOMMODATE THE NORM ON THIS ISLAND OF HAVING LARGER FAMILIES!!! Next time please have chawan mushi available so my little one wont have to leave so sad and disappointed. read more

My family and I decided to visit Genki Sushi in Waikele after spending a few hours at Podium Raceway. We got there a little after 2:00 p.m., and we had to wait about 15 minutes before being seated. We thought we would be lucky by missing the lunch crowd, but I guess anytime is a good time to have sushi! We were pleasantly surprised at the new renovations and the option to order our food on their electronic tablet. The customer service, food, and drinks were worth the wait. We spent about $45.00; not bad for a party of three. read more

Genki Sushi - Waiting for the Salmon Skin Maki.... :) - Sushi Bars Near Me - Waipahu, Hawaii

I don't really care for Genki's. Food variety and quality is meh and doesn't match the prices. They use the same 2 sauces for everything honestly. I'm only here because my cousin who lives on the mainland wanted to come, there is no sushi where she lives. So why the 5 stars? Lance. I swear I came to a Genki sushi but his service made me feel I was elsewhere. At the end of our meal, Lance counted our plates and came back with the bill. My group was just chilling. I had my card out ready to pay but since it's Genki, the customer is suppose to walk up to the counter and pay. Not here. Lance came back and offered to ring me up. He even came back with my card and receipt for me to sign. It feels like a full service restaurant and the customer service from him was on point. [The Kapahulu Genki should take some pointers from here.] read more

Man, I used to love this place. And then I had Sushi Bay. Genki still is good, but I think the quality of their fish isn't as good as the other place. And definitely smaller on the portions. While dining here the last time, I realized that I always hate how much sweet chili sauce they put on some of the things I like. I suppose I can just ask for less, but why do they put so much sauce on their sushi in the first place? To mask the lacking quality of their fish? Hmmm... My son still enjoys the little train things they have. And while I am saddened by my recent discovery, I still think that they have it right with their train system delivery. It allows to customer to order whenever they are ready and its delivered right to you. No waiting to flag down a server or wondering if they forgot your order up at the counter. I'm sure we will be back, as they are so convenient, but I had to lower my rating after my discovery of the other place. I would give them a 2.5 if I could, but will give them the extra point for the train system my son likes. read more

Update: I ate at this place recently and they don't know how to cook chicken. I ordered chicken wings and while the outside crust was hot, the meat on the bone was ice cold. I thought maybe it was me, so I took another one and it was still the same. The meat on the bone was ice cold. It was so disgusting and I spit it out and lost my appetite. read more

It's really quite sad. My friend who dislikes seafood and sushi is willing to go into Genki Sushi because she says it doesn't smell like seafood/sushi in there and it's not quite real sushi. Despite that, I quite enjoy Genki Sushi because it's cheap for when I have a fixing for sushi. I especially like this particular location more so than the others because although it is far from town, I always have great service here. It used to seem that they give bigger portions than some other locations in town but it doesn't seem to be so anymore. However, I love how organized they are. I really like how the label their items on the conveyor belt. I remember the first few times I ate at Genki Sushi with my family, we were constantly looking up different items on the menu to figure what it was. It got to be somewhat of a game for me and my brother. I also really like their specials. Although they are a little more pricy, it's good to have a little of a variety from what you normally order at Genki Sushis. read more

Again, we headed to Genki Sushi to eat while shopping around Waikele Premium Outlet. It wasn't that busy at the restaurant because it is pretty big compare to Kuru Kuru Sushi. So the service wasn't that bad. The reason why I knocked off two stars compare to last time is the food. The sushi on the belt was not fresh at all. I am not a sushi person, so I can't tell how fresh or old sushi looks. I noticed a few interesting food they had on the belt so I tried the Tempura Salmon and the Spicy tuna roll. After eating those, I got a really bad stomach ache. I thought it was just me, but my friend also had a bad stomach ache. My friend order all her food from the server. So I'm not sure if it's because the kitchen people are dirty or their food isn't fresh. But the tempura salmon was really good. read more

First trip to the newly renovated Genki Waikele! At first when I heard about the fancy train delivery system I thought, is that really necessary? It seemed to me to be something more for show rather than being really necessary. Now that I see the difference it makes in wait time, I hope the rest of the Genkis covert to this new delivery system. Upon entrance, you no longer write your name on the clipboard wait list. Instead, the hostess will ask for the number of people in your party and whether you would like to request a table, bar, or either. You then get a print out number, which they then call out instead of your name. The wait went by so quickly! I can already see the difference the delivery system makes in getting people fed faster, which then means tables get turned over faster. In less than 25 minutes we were seated, even after requesting a booth. When we finally got in to see the dining area, they completely took out the middle area where the sushi chefs make the nigiri and rolls. Instead it's now entirely comprised of seats and tables. That's fine for me, because I don't need to watch the sushi chefs. The waitress will then explain to you how the new ordering system works if you've never used the new system. You can order a max of 4 items at a time using the fancy touch screen system (a lot bulkier than an iPad, but each table gets their own). There's even an option to order sushi with no green onions (yuck). The food then comes out from a two tier train type delivery system that magically stops at your table. There is still the rotating belt of ready made sushi and food items to pick from, but I prefer to order everything so I know it's fresh. The delivery system is pretty cool, honestly. Not to mention the food comes out sooooo fast after you order. Items like chicken karaage and stuffed mushrooms that once took 20 minutes, come out in less than 5. The efficiency of being able to order through the touch pad system rather than waiting for your server to come around makes dining much easier. The only thing they don't deliver through the train system are things like udon and drinks (for obvious reasons--spillage). After you're done dining, just press the button on the pad to request your check! Such a fast and efficient system. I'm really impressed. read more

This place is awful. We figure we get here early so we don't have to wait as this place can be packed at times. Got there early enough and we were seated quickly. Then it just went downhill from there. We waited at least 15mins just for a waitress to greet/acknowledge our presence. Don't know why what took so long since they were quite slow and there were more empty seats than filled ones. Anyway we placed our order which consisted of about 10 plates. *Note* As always, we order our plates even though it maybe already on the belt, but who in the hell knows how long those plates have been on there and usually when ordering, it's supposedly "made to order"...well we got one of our handrolls (after 15mins). Then we waited, and waited. They were not busy at all and it seemed as if the were more concentrated on putting plates on the belt than completing our order. 45mins later the waitress asked how we were doing and if we wanted to order anything...unhappily, I told her we were "still" waiting for our food and only "one" plate came out. 5 mins later they brought out our food one after the other. Unfortunately the hot items we ordered were cold (they must've got them from the belt and I know for a fact they did this for the majority of our dishes). My spouse ordered the ebi fry and when received we were in disgust. They must've rushed it since the inside was soggy and the shrimp was still cold. I usually am not this harsh with my reviews (see urbanspoon reviews) but the service and food was just unacceptable and this establishment really deserves no stars. read more

Genki Sushi - Ebi Fry- ordered, received cold, inside was soggy and raw. Gross! - Sushi Bars Near Me - Waipahu, Hawaii

Covid-19 Review: If you're missing sushi or craving it, genki sushi is back open. They open at 11am, if you want to sit in and eat I suggest you come as soon as they open. Due to enforcing 6ft in social distancing, that decreases the amount of seating available. We got there at around 11:10, the parking lot around genki was dead empty, which is a shock on a Saturday but since covid understanding. You have to wear your mask when entering the establishment. We got sat at the counter but was distanced away from the other couple at the counter and the 2 person tables closest to the front door. Note: They do not have shoyu and Wasabi out in the open, to reduce contamination they have everything in the mini to go plastic containers that they give out 1 per person. They clean off every section and spray it down as individuals rotate out of their seating. The food was good! It was nice to have sushi again. Again, if you want to eat here I suggest coming right when they open because your wait time is going to be crazy long if its during a rush hour. read more

Don't get me wrong but I love genki sushi! The only problem with this location is CUSTOMER service... Aaaaah like there is so much server but no one seems to ask if we like more water or tea unless you ask for it... They keep passing by us but no one seems to notice that our water and tea is empty.. If I only have a choice I would not go here. it I keep taking chances and it's not worth it!!! They should have at least a manager or higher ups that would make them act like they are professional enough to serve us customers!! workers are walking with their phone and drinking plus scratching their HAIR... this place is not recommended at all.. read more

Yelp 100 Review Challenge 2014 Review 13/100 My friends and I decided to brave the wait at the renovated Genki Sushi at the Waikele Outlets. One of our group checked us in at 5:20 and we ended up waiting for about 15-20 minutes, which didn't seem so bad considering the amount of people who were outside with us. The renovated interior looks very modern and clean. The new express system is definitely worth going for. The ordering system looks like a fatter version of an iPad. It's very simple to navigate through and order from. I liked watching the various vehicles whizz by with people's orders. The food itself was ok at best. I think I only had 4 plates. All the while we were sitting at Genki, I was thinking about Sushi Bay. However, I'll admit that the quality of the food looks way better than it did before the renovation. Genki is a good place to get your sushi fix if you're in the area. Be prepared to wait during peak hours though. read more

Genki Sushi - Very blurry image of the ordering device. - Sushi Bars Near Me - Waipahu, Hawaii

Introducing the newly renovated Genki Sushi~ I haven't eaten at Genki Sushi in years! Upon arrival, we were told we could seat immediately, but we were still waiting for another in our party so we waited outside. It didn't take long for us to be seated :D, I was starving! With the new touch screen systems, our server was very informative and helpful explaining everything to us. I was thoroughly impressed by the information given in a short time span. (Good training!) I understood completely and ordered on the touch screen right away. Food came in a timely manner on the "bullet train". They dish out one type at a time, so if you ordered 2 spicy ahi's, there would only be 2 that came out. Then they send over the next type, salmon onion, etc. You press a yellow button to send back the bullet train. It was a cool experience. Although we had to order something twice because we never received it the first time around. (Agedashi Tofu). Other than that, we had a good experience with the whole system. I ordered some green tea ice cream and noticed that it said "SLOTS" on the screen, I guess if you order anything containing that sticker, you get to play for some free sushi? (I'm guessing) Unfortunately, we lost by 1. LOL but it's a cool concept. Seating is SPACIOUS, I remember the old one being cramped, literally elbow to elbow. They now offer alot more seating! Smaller booths as well (4 people comfortably). Food quality and taste was consistent, just like I remembered. Servers were awesome, filling water glasses, and asking us if everything was alright and good. read more

I really hate to give poor reviews right now. I know businesses are struggling, but I have to be honest. Called in a takeout order and had to call back about 8 times before I got through to a person. I'd either get a busy signal, or it would ring a number of times then an automated message said that the mailbox was full. When I finally placed my order, there seemed to be a lot of background noise, and she did not repeat my order back to me. My friend went to pick up the order, and said the worker called off the contents of the order but it was difficult to hear what she was saying behind her face mask. When we opened our food, half of our order was wrong. Instead of the ahi poke bowl, we got an ahi poke nigiri. And instead of the crunchy ebi fry roll, we got the spicy tuna ebi fry roll. Not going to complain since it was our fault for not checking the bag before we left, but let that be a lesson! It's understandable right now that there may be longer wait times due to staff shortages, etc. but there's really no excuse for incorrect orders. read more

Always a bad idea to come during the lunch rush, but can't help it. The parking lot near the restaurant was full so we parked on the other side. By the time we signed in for a table or counter we had to wait fifteen minutes. Bathrooms, meh... but I had to! Finally got our seats at the counter. Ordered the usual (spicy tuna bowl, and ika geso karrage) while taking some off the conveyor belt. Our orders took a while but I understand since there are a lot of people to go through. Our waitresses came by often to check up on us if we needed anything else or needed more water. I still don't like it that the bowls are grey plates. This time around I'm glad I didn't get my usual black plate. I couldn't eat any more! Sushi craving, satisfied. For now. read more

It was the 1st time that we had rated at Genki Sushi, in Waikele, since the new upgrades technological renovations. It was a around 5pm and we were surprised to have gotten a booth so quickly. Our server "RAYNA" was very polite and vey patient in how she explained on the use of the electronic pad to order food. She was vey pleasant and was very attentive. We ordered about $30 worth of food between me and my fiancé. We did not have to wait long for refills, nor did we have any problems. As we enjoyed our meal, it started getting more busier and busier, but that did not stop Rayna from being so attentive to our booth! What blew me away, was when Rayna's supervisor came by every now and then, asking us how things were! He even went out of his way to ask us if we wanted our drinks to go! When I asked for the check, I showed my military Id and my Navy Federal credit Card. Randal, said I was entitled to a military discount! We got great service and was surprised that we were offered a military discount! Great experience, great service and great food! read more

Genki Sushi - Technology is a must here at Genki Sushi! - Sushi Bars Near Me - Waipahu, Hawaii

Craving Sushi? Genki's is the place to go for your sushi fix! The Waikele location is one of my favorites (second is the Ward location) because it's huge and you get choice of parking. The staff here are extremely nice and on it. They're constantly checking up on your table and refilling your water (if there is no personal pitcher on that table). The best part of Genki's? The conveyor belt of course! If you're not a fan of the rotating sushi then you can order it. I also stick to the same items when I eat here: Garlic Ahi - depending what market price is it can be a red or silver plate. If it's a silver plate I usually go for Garlic Salmon. Baked Mussels - I some how get one too many plates of these! They're so delicious! Oyster Fry - Another yummy one. They serve it with katsu sauce which surprisingly goes extremely well with it. However, don't be surprised if they don't have it, I've ran into this problem one too many times. Spicy Tuna Bowl - Why get the $2.20 plate? Just spend a little more and get the bowl! This is one dish that I think the Unagi sauce pulls it all together. Overall, as long as this Genki's is open I will still keep coming back. Nice people and location, awesome parking and affordable prices. What's there to complain about? read more

Poor customer service. Usually Genki is quick. This time we came in they weren't too busy because we came between meal times. We waited 15 minutes for a table, which wasn't too bad. After we were seated we began ordering off of the tablet because the belt was empty and not running. I put in an order with the waitress for my daughter because it was an item not on their menu, spam and rice. While she ate her udon and patiently waited for her order to arrive my fiance and I continued to order and eat. By the time we were done she still didn't get her order. When the next waiter passed we flagged her down and inquired about the order. She told us that our waitress is on break and that she would check on it for us. I'm guessing that it was never put in because she returned with a response that they are making it now... 10 minutes later our daughter got her spam and rice, she ate it, and we waited and waited for our check that never came. After waiting for over 20 minutes we went to the front to check out. I swear the prices went up but the quality went down. A lot of my sushi was either drenched with sauce or not packed right. Kind of depressing. read more

4-stars not for the spectacular sushi... you're getting conveyor belt Genki sushi. The stars are for their renovation! Yay! It seems like it now fits more people which is a huge plus. The old restaurant had horribly long lines. And actually, this one still does but seems to move faster. The renovation includes the new "rail" system where you can place an order on the touchscreen (like an iPad). Once placed, your order comes on a rail car... it's pretty neat and keeps my kids entertained too. The only thing I noticed so far is that the two times that I have been there, some of the food shoots out really fast while some takes forever. Once my sushi never arrived but I didn't want to order again in fear that two would come out! Staff is friendly... you can even use the iPad thingy to call them when you need something or your check. Easy! read more

Since they reopen this Genki Waikele location, everything went downhill. I thought I'd give it a try the 3rd times but 3 times is no charm. I refuse to go Genki 'cause their portion got smaller & the quality is really bad but after kids practice, we ended up here 'cause I didn't have time to take them elsewhere. French fries for the 2nd time was soaked in oil & soggy! Why would u even serve French fries that's soaked in oil?? I'm not exaggerating. It was soaked in oil & yet they asked if I wanna want another one. As for hot tea, it tasted like water for the 3rd times. Udon noodles, it's always cold when they bring it out. I take 4-8 kids here all the time but I haven't 'cause they haven't improved. Wake up Genki!! read more

I love sushi! This place gets pretty busy but it is very organized with a number system in place. It usually takes about an hour to be seated but once you do you can already start eating! The food here is delicious and fresh... The prices are reasonable and you don't feel like you have to over eat as if you are doing AYCE! The sashimi and nigiri are very tasty... The plate prices vary and are designated by color with black being the most expensive... They also have a few items that are market priced so be warned LOL. There is a revolving conveyor belt which also has dessert! You gotta love the technology that the restaurant has input for this place. When you order something that isn't on the belt it is sent to you via race car from the back... Also, you place your orders on an iPad! The service is excellent as they checked on my party several times and topped off all our drinks. Note they will not clear off the color plates as they use it to total up your bill. I was able to treat my family of 7 for less than $100 that's unheard of! This include a fee sodas! Remember to ask or a stamp card. The more you dine, you'll earn a free black plate. Save room for dessert- as they have delicious Mochi! I need to mention that the parking lot does get full and the spots are tiny especially for my rental which is and Escalade! Can't wait to get back to eat here again. I hope they open up a location in California. You must try this place when in the area! You won't regret it. Please take a look at my pics and videos and remember to like!!! !!!Mahalo!!! read more

TBE!! String bean tempura, eggplant fry, avocado ebi, spicy ebi, salmon wit onion.... change your life garentee.

IRASHAIMASE!! That's the normal greeting you get when you walk into any Genki Sushi restaurant. The concept of "Kaiten Sushi" was meant for the busy worker. "Kaiten", which literally means "revolving", uses a revolving conveyor belt to serve sushi to its customers. They provided quality sushi at affordable prices to the Japanese worker who didn't have a whole lot of time to eat. Workers would be able to get in, eat, and get back to their jobs quickly and efficiently. It may be that way still in Japan in most instances, but in the United States, "Conveyor Belt Sushi" is more like a hip cool place to eat. Okay, enough with the history lesson. LOL The Genki Sushi in Waikele is not your regular neighborhood mom & pops sushi spot... It's "Conveyor Belt Sushi" on steroids!! It's where sushi & technology come together to create a convenient and fun place to eat!! It was renovated recently with the new "Bullet Express" sushi system. Everything is pretty much computerized and automatic... You place your order on a touchscreen tablet by selecting the type of sushi you want to order, and the number of plates. The maximum number of plates you can order at one time is 4. And within a few minutes, your order sprints out to your table on a mini race car or space shuttle. It's actually pretty cool!! LOL You still have the regular conveyor belt with all the different sushi dishes, but why not order exactly what you want, and have it served fresh to you in a mini race car or space shuttle?!?!? I have 3 absolute favorite dishes at Genki Sushi, and I usually order them in bulk... Spicy Tuna, Garlic Ahi, and Seared Spicy Ahi. All 3 are absolutely delicious, and I will normally eat until I'm completely stuffed!! I rarely order the more complex and fancier sushi rolls because I find the sauce they add is just a little too sweet for my tastes. They used to serve Chawanmushi (Japanese Steamed Egg Custard) at Genki Sushi, but they don't have it anymore. Not sure why they got rid of it, but they need to bring it back!! Overall, I always love going to Genki Sushi, but the new "Bullet Express" just makes the whole experience much more fun!! read more

Classic quick and go sushi spot. Price varies because there are so many small dishes and are speedily sent to you from the kitchen on a rocket. You order on an iPad which I find amusing and the future of more restaurants! I've been going here for a long time and it is always a solid place. Some rolls are overpriced, but I would recommend the Spicy Ahi Bowl. Any of the bowls are good bang for your buck. I also enjoy any of the Bombs. Genki is always a more relaxed and fun experience and I will continue to come here monthly. Wait: 15 minutes max for a party of 4. Seating is more geared towards smaller parties, if you have more than 5, plan to not all be sitting together. Price: Varies, I would avoid the most expensive plate because it is usually small portion rolls. Parking: Large area for many restaurants. Service: Fast, nice, and thorough. Usually younger workers and check up regularly. Taste: 7/10 with 5 being average. You get what you pay for. I am a big advocate of the Spicy Ahi Bowl though and many people usually say the same. read more

Genki Sushi - Spicy Ahi Bowl is the best here! - Sushi Bars Near Me - Waipahu, Hawaii

This Genki Sushi has the touch screen menus that let you order directly through the computer and there is really no interaction between you and the server (besides them refilling your tea and water). I think this is more convenient than having to keep on calling the waiter every time you order something (because who really wants to take any sushi off the belt?). I feel like when you order directly from the computer it comes hot and fresh. The quality of fish is alright, you get what you pay for, but this place isn't necessarily cheap either. I only like that you can get small portions and eat a variety of food, because I personally don't like eating just one type of food per meal. It's also a convenient location and personally one of the better places to eat in Waikele. read more

Genki Sushi - Natto nigiri/ Scallop Mayo Nigiri/ Crawfish Nigiri/ California Hand Roll - Sushi Bars Near Me - Waipahu, Hawaii

Usually I love Genki Sushi but not tonight. The rolls tonight were sub par at best. The salmon karage was grey and was low quality. The Tonkatsu ramen did not have an appetizing smell to it, but tasted alright, I didn't finish it after the first bite. Timely service was questionable as well. The robots that they are using are not being deployed usefully. Our aisle was very busy with families and had 2 strollers, a high chair, and a person using a chair at the end of a table and the robot struggled to navigate through them, and often got in the way of servers trying to bus tables. The robot then bumped into a chair and spilled the water and hot tea it was trying to deliver. Obviously on a busy night the team should just run the drinks themselves to avoid delays and accidents, but I digress. The atmosphere was the same as always, enjoyable. I hope they figure out how to use technology to their advantage and ease bottlenecks, not increase them. read more

Glad for the renovation, more seating; so we didn't have to wait that long. I like the keiki bowl haha. 3 pieces each of hotdog, spam, and egg. The kabocha tempura is okay, not as good as sushi bay or kuru kuru. Can't remember what else I ate .. but must've been just okay. Our waiter was super nice and friendly. Attentive on tea & water refills. read more
