So glad we have a very good Asian/Sushi office in Porter's Neck. I like that it caters to multiple…read moreAsian flavors, Japanese, Thai, and Chinese. The freshness of the food is evident in the taste. The food is also plentiful and shareable. We started with Blue Crab Ragoons which were freshly made. We then shared the seasonal Fire & Ash roll. When it came out I was skeptical of the "orange colored mush" on top but that is exactly what made the roll. The mush was tuna that was slightly smoked. All of the ingredients within the roll were very fresh and the roll was huge. The Angry Tiger was wrapped in white seaweed and included both spicy tuna, salmon, and shrimp tempura. Excellent. The General Tso Chicken had the right level of spice. The ending was the best. Tempura Fried Ice Cream which is a seasonal specialty. Vanilla ice cream covered in a dome of pound cake and fried topped with a drizzle of strawberry and chocolate. Service was terrific. My drink was continually refilled and the server was super nice. The entire staff was always looking out for everyone even if it wasn't their table. It was a lovely day so we ate outside. Pretty good seating outside. Inside has a cool vibe...coastal blues meet Asian design. Everyone leaves with boxes because you get the portions you pay for.

First one in and I walked from the hotel Lela only 1/2 mile away. At the recommendation of my super sweet server I tried the fire cracker shrimp which was a regular specialty on he table placard. I also noticed the cod miso which intrigued me so I order it. What brought in though was the Hamichi Kama which I ordered also. On top of this they brought out a black seaweed/gyoza sample. The. On top of that since it is my birthday week they brought me the green tea mocha. Wow to say I am stuff was an understatement. So since this was a progressive ordering situation which I created the food came out sort of mish mash. I started with black seaweed / gyoza sampler. It was awesome. I would have ordered more had I not already ordered . Then I moved on to the bang bang shrimp. 8 breaded shrimp with their version of bang bang sauce. Plump shrimp with a chili sauce. Not bad. The sauce was just a chili style sauce and so left some to be desired. Then the cod miso came out. Wow. Super hot and had actual chunks of cod and veggies in it. Very good. Then the Hamichi Kama which came out. Amazing. I had this before in Japan and in West Virginia. Amazing. Definitely a recommend. Then they brought out the green tea mochi with green tea ice cream. It was the best I have ever had. Amazing meal definitely needed the walk back to try and walk some of it off. The restaurant is small and reservations are highly recommended. Definitely worth the trouble and I plan to return in the future to try some other items.

Authenticity at its finest…read more Me and my family went to Genki as we heard it was a great place to get sushi and other Japanese food and it did not disappoint. We were greeted immediately and the servers and chef said welcome in Japanese. We were given warm towels for our hands and it's really a great way to start a meal; it makes you feel revitalized. The inside is nice; they had traditional Japanese music playing in the background so it really set the tone. There are some tables, booths and a counter so you have options on where you can sit. The decor is nice with the lucky cat and other fun decorations. The waitress took our order with a smile on her face and asked us if we wanted recommendations on any of the products or food. She was knowledgeable on the menu and showed real enthusiasm with our questions. I could see the chef preparing the food was clearly skilled and so I did go with what the chef recommended. Before our appetizers, they brought us a complimentary side dish of edamame beans in seaweed salad which was refreshing. Then our appetizers came. We ordered Miso Soup, Garden Salad, California Rolls, Spring Rolls and Pork Gyoza. I had a few of The Pork Gyoza which was cooked perfectly. Crispy at first and then quickly melts in your mouth; was nice and hot too. My family told me the California Rolls and Garden Salad were yummy too. Then the entrees came out and they exceeded our expectations. My family that had the Chicken Fried Rice said it was delicious. One got the Grilled Salmon Dinner and another a Crunchy Roll I believe; they really enjoyed their dishes. My family that ordered the Sushi Platter liked his too (Philadelphia Rolls, Fire Cracker Rolls, Matt's Special and I believe some Salmon Rolls). I had gotten the Chef's recommended, which was two pieces of Yellowtail (Hamachi) and I believe Tuna (Kama-Toro). It was incredibly fresh; among the freshest nigiri I have ever had. I also then ordered their Fire Cracker Roll and that was very good; if you like something with a bit of spice you will love it. We wanted dessert but were too full; just gives us another reason to go back! Genki has something for everyone. Japanese comfort food, Sushi, Sashimi, Nigiri and more. If you haven't already gone, it's time to go; you won't be disappointed! Until next time! じゃあね！

Definitely recommend stopping by if you're in Wilmington!

We have tried this restaurant 3 times in total for the all you can eat we have to drive an hour…read morethere and back home. First time we had waited 1 hour for our first tray of sushi to come out and had to ask the bartender to check for our food while the manager was aware and kind of scuffed.second time we went was faster service but still had to wait 40 Minutes for our trays of sushi. Our last time going July 23rd was met by a dirty sticky table then we were asked to move to another and then they sat someone else there without wiping it down. we watched as a table of 9 was able to all be served there 4 course hibachi meal and their server check on them over 5-6 times within the time of us still just having our waters after almost an hour of waiting we did finally get our seaweed salad (cold) no needing to be cooked without silverware or chopsticks to the point where we went to the front and asked why it's taking so long and why we watched a whole table of 9 get finished and almost leaving and also the tables near us that arrived 20 minutes later than us get their sushi trays . They checked to see if it was done we continued to wait another 20 minutes now a total of 1 hour 30 minutes and finally got our first tray of sushi. The night continued to just be an exhausted wait to the point where we just wanted to leave and our appetite just wasn't there anymore . We have only continued going because they are the only ones that do our favorite sushi rolls with such terrible service each time that we know what to expect now and since there's such disregard from management they really don't care . We overheard our waitress saying to the table next to us our sushi is backed up (you guys know the drill here ) right after we had complained to the front desk about such a long wait and drive in total it's just not worth it . If you do choose to go here , expect a 30 min -1 hour wait to be seated , then once you're seated expect another 45-1 hour of wait on food and hoping you still Have an appetite after waiting so long .

You really can't go wrong with any of their appetizers. I am pretty sure we have had all of them by this point and we have yet to be unsatisfied with any of them. Must try!

Second visit was total opposite from our first visit. The food wasn't that great. Seaweed salad…read moredidn't have much flavor. Ramen is not listed on the menu, but they have a weekly rotation. Spicy Shrimp Ramen was the Ramen of the day. Shrimp and marinated egg were both good, but the broth was way too salty for consumption. The only good decent tasting dish was the Japanese curry. I didn't like the skin that was left on the thinly sliced sweet potato, which arguably, could have been cooked a little bit more. We ended up just getting everything to-go. And then to add offense, they did not have proper containers for the Ramen. So they had to be put in several "containers" that leaked everywhere, causing a big mess. It was many of the one cup cardboard like containers and foldable brown paper boxes. Pretty embarrassing visit. Not sure I'll come again, but if I do, I'll just stick to the sushi.
