Came here for lunch and it definitely didn't disappoint! The atmosphere is charming, cozy, and unlike anywhere else. I had no idea this place even existed until a friend suggested we check it out, and I'm so glad we did. We each ordered a few dishes to share, and every single one was delicious. The staff was attentive and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our meal. One thing to keep in mind: they don't accept Apple Pay, so be sure to bring a physical card or another form of payment. Other than that, it was a great experience, and I'll definitely be back! read more

Came here for Taiwanese cuisine. They were fairly busy during lunch time. They were so friendly, and I think there was only one cook. The food didn't take too long though. Everything came out hot and delicious. read more

Genroku Grill is a Taiwanese restaurant in Richardson that has been in the area for years. It's recently removed sushi from the menu, so they now only focus on authentic Taiwanese dishes. This is my updated review. My Overall Rating - 4 Stars (Atmosphere, Service, Food, Return) Atmosphere - You'll find Genroku in the same place it's been for years. Inside, there's a tree - yes a tree. There are a number of tables in the front and larger booths in the back. There's also an a sushi bar - although they no longer serve sushi. I never forget that iconic tree. 1 Star. Service - For an Asian restaurant, service is efficient. Once you are seated a server will take your order. If you're expecting smiles and recommendations, you won't find it here. But you will have youg food brought out quickly and drinks refilled. 1/2 Star. Food - I've been ordering the same dishes here for almost two decades because it's so good. Start with the Salt & Pepper Tofu. Tofu squares are perfectly fried on the outside while maintaining a piping hot soft inside that pairs perfectly with the soy based dip. I also order the Clay Pot Chicken. I read my review from 2013 and I describe it. Thirteen years later it's still super tender, hot, and pairs perfectly with rice. 2 Stars. Will I Return? - Not as often since they no longer serve sushi. Full Disclosure - I never at the sushi there, but it was nice that it was an option. But 13 years after my original review I'm still ernjoying the same fantastic dishes... just not as often. 1/2 Star. read more

The crispy duck is to die for. The 3 cup chicken, mapo tofu, and stir fried beef were also delicious. In fact everything we ordered remind me of food in Taiwan. Give them a try if you have a chance read more

Ordered online from this restaurant after trying to call without answer. Got notification that order was received and given a pickup time 30 minutes later. However, when I went to pickup, the order had not been acknowledged. The manager initially tried to deflect the blame and say that I should have called (which I did and no answer) and later accused that we had just placed the order until I showed them the timestamp. Only then did she apologize. We asked for a refund as the order had not processed but were told a refund was not possible. Ridiculous! Don't offer online ordering if your workflow can't keep up. It's a waste of customers' time! Not coming back. read more

We spent our Sunday family lunch here. We ordered House Special Fried Rice, Sweet and Sour Dish Fillet, salt and Pepper Pork Chop. All tastes great. Serving staff is friendly and we had an amazing time. Neatly decorated dining area. We will be back to try their sushi menu next time. read more

This is always my favorite place for salt & pepper tofu. And when there's a slight char, it's even more delicious. For those that like periwinkle meat, their basil and periwinkle stir fry is amazing! Genroku is one of the best places to find you want traditional Chinese food. The staff have been here for as long as it's been open and they are really sweet. read more

FOOD - Stir fried vegetable with beef - The beef had great flavor with the sauce and the leafy vegetable was cooked great. It was tasty and crunchy. Great ingredients and cooking! - Salt and Pepper Tofu - the tofu was in small pieces which allowed for the tofu to be super crispy when fried. It had great flavor and the onions on top were super sweet and yummy. - Fried Flounder with Salt and Pepper - The fried flounder was also very crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside where the meat of the fish was. The onions had that great pan-fried flavor and were sweet. The onions were actually so yummy and made the dish soooo yummy. - Basil Eggplant + Chicken - I haven't had eggplant before in this style but it was pretty good. The dish came out steaming hot and it was soft eggplant with thin strips of chicken. Pretty great flavor overall! - Crispy Fried Pork Intestine - This dish was super crispy and well cooked. Not a very common dish to people who aren't fan of eating intestines but definitely worth trying because it is tasty! VIBES Genroku is a great restaurant for families. It definitely has a comfy feeling with the round lazy-susan tables and the yellower lighting. The decorations are a mix of Japanese/Chinese/Taiwanese influence which was pretty cool. Most of the customers at the time we went were older or families. SERVICE Service was great. The man who helped serve us was super sweet and was super patient. He gave us lots of time to think and plenty of recommendations. The food also came out very fast. read more

Best Taiwanese food in the area. My favorite thing to get is their hot tea and salt and pepper flounder. You can't go wrong with either of those. read more

A co-worker recommended we try this place, and we were glad he did! We started with the beef rib special. There were five ribs and the meat on the bone was generous and with great flavor. Then we also tried their volcano roll (Friday night special) which had a different presentation from how we've had it in other restaurants, and it was also delicious. My husband had the Beef with Broccoli. While it had great flavor, it was heavy on the amount of onions in the dish and he wasn't expecting them to begin with given the description on the menu. I had the Basil Chicken (no bones option) at my co-workers encouragement and I can see why it was a favorite. Great flavor of the sauce and it is served in a stone like bowl that keeps it warm and really lets the flavors come together. We enjoyed a warmed sake with our dinner as well. Our server was friendly and great at suggesting options for us to consider. The ambiance is pretty traditional and casual. The pricing for all of this food was very reasonable and we left feeling very satisfied. We'll be back to try other dishes! read more

I've been a regular for a very long time. I bring my friends and family here whenever I can! I always get the Taiwanese dishes here.

I've been eating at Genroku for many years. The food is consistently good and the prices are reasonable. I usually get a bento box. The tempura is always fresh as is the sushi. Serice is good. Unobtrusive, but responsive. read more

I went with people who have been going to the restaurant for a long time. Many of the workers have been there for ages and it has a local neighborhood vibe. With that said, my second time visiting was about as bad as the first. The food has sooooo much grease and it's just bland and flavorless. The interior has not aged well and the place feels dirty. If you are looking to try some place new, there are far newer, cleaner, and better tasting Chinese spots in town. read more

Absolutely awful food and strange service-- the waiters and waitresses sit in view of customers on their phone and don't really check up on you. The restaurant also does not seem that clean. read more

Don't let the name fool you--Genroku Sushi & Grill has some of the most authentic Chinese food in the DFW area. It's also my family's favorite restaurant to come to because their food is consistent, and we're friendly with the manager and waiters! When my brother and I are home, we always ask to come to Genroku. Some of my favorite dishes are their pork belly appetizer, intestines, tomato and egg, and braised pork rice. I wish I knew the exact translation of some of my other favorite dishes, but just know that they're serve really solid Chinese food, and their service is really good too! read more

Oh my my my this is our favorite sushi place in the Dallas area, perhaps of all. We have been coming here for so many years we have lost count of how long. Our daughter has grown up coming here many Sunday's for lunch when they have the dollar sushi. Lily the owner is great ALWAYS greeting us with a huge hug and checking in to see how the family is doing! And Ethan is extremely talented along with doing whatever is needed to make the food spectacular and gluten-free of to your preference of tastes, all with a smile. Genroku serves more than just sushi though of fish us not your style. They have a whole Taiwanese menu with some phenomenal chicken fried rice and more. This place deserves way more than 5 stars! Where's the diamond button because this place is great! read more

This place has been around and I've been a few times in my life and the food has always been subpar. Fast forward to post-pandemic where everything cost many times more but I feel like I'm getting quality food here. The $16+ sushi roll meal I had here was the most unsatisfying work lunch in a long time. I think I could have gotten more quantity and quality sushi roll for half he price at Asian super market. I think I even have the plate they served the rolls on at home. Definitely not worthy of a restaurant experience. read more

Sadly i have to part ways with this place. Have been coming to this place to eat sushi for years but the last two times it's been terrible. I don't know what happened but it's went down hill. The tuna has an iridescent sheen and it tastes fishy. It was never like this before. I'm sure the other hot dishes are good but I'd stay away from the sushi. read more

We love going to Genroku. Staff is always friendly and helpful. Food is authentic and delicious! Love the basil chicken and tomato and egg. We always order too much food so we have great leftovers the next day. Reasonable prices, nice atmosphere for a Chinese restaurant in this center. We'll definitely be back soon! read more

I just had an amazing experience here, the food looked sooo good as it came out and quickly, from fresh sushi to piping hot bowls of minced pork over rice the smell was unbelievable. The owner was very nice and accommodating 10/10 I will be eating here again! read more

What a refreshing experience! My husband and I stumbled in here when the wait was too long at another restaurant nearby. I'm so glad we did. Service was so lovely, and the quality of the ingredients was obvious. The sushi was super fresh and perfectly cut. We did one roll and the peppered tuna tataki (SO GOOD!) one of the employees accidentally cleared my plate before I had the chance to eat the last piece, and the owner was gracious enough to bring us more out. It was very generous of her! We ordered a pork and rice bowl, as well. We were told by the owner it is an authentic Taiwanese dish and difficult to find in other restaurants. The flavors were well developed and deep. I have been dreaming of that bowl since that day! Cant wait to go back and have it again and try more things from the menu. Make sure you check out the specials! I think I'll try the smoked duck next time :) read more

This place has been in business for a very long time and their food is consistent. The staff is very attentive, fast, and polite. I really enjoy the Taiwanese food here and have not tried anything from their sushi menu though. The Kung pao chicken and spicy wontons were ok. I thought the fried soft shell crab had too much batter - I What I would order again: seasonal veggies with beef and mapo tofu- these are so good over rice! Ask the waitress about seasonal veggies - it's usually snow pea leaves. read more

Just got some to go from this place. I originally wanted to get the Taiwan style pan fried oyster with eggs. But disordered to deep fried oyster and that's ok. But the pork chop over rice... the pork chop taste like taro in taste and texture like almost rotten meat. I couldn't finish it. How can people do people like this don't they know there is Yelp? The owner actually asked if I went to the wrong place like Yen JI next door!!?? Haha only if she knew the review I gave them last time. This whole mall is going down hill. It's making money from white people and don't care about quality. read more

I don't give 5 stars that often but why not since we come here almost every time we go to Dallas. It's one of hubs' favorite places to eat for over a decade. It's best to come in a group because then you can order several dishes and eat family style. The salt and pepper chicken is a crowd favorite! My son actually wanted to order two plates. Other recommendations: walnut shrimp, mapo tofu (quite spicy!), and order some greens (such as snow pea leaves) to keep your meal slightly healthy. read more

Atmosphere: 3 Food: 5 Service: 3 Value: 5 Darkened Windows, "what am I walking into"? Delicious Classic Taiwanese Cooking, "that's what"! Been coming for years, yet not once have I tried their sushi! Instead their classic dishes of Taiwan's is what I come back for over and over again. It's Chinese food alright but different than Cantonese, Shanghainese, Pekingese, and Szechuan cuisines! Intriguing are their usage of spices, ingredients, and sauces in their cooking! A few of my favorites are their "Basil Chicken", "Taiwanese Style Oyster Omelette"; and, "Shredded Pork with Garlic Sauce"! Eclectic yet simple is their interior. Service tends to be abrupt but efficient it is. Having tried both, I prefer having dinner here rather than lunch! CHEERS! read more

Difficult to rate this place because it's a Chinese food joint somehow also serving sushi rolls. You'd guess something's up. Rolls are much cheaper than those in a sushi restaurant, but the portion size and fish quality are significantly lower. Chinese food quality is just so-so, and some recipes do raise an eyebrow. Probably not worth a revisit. read more
