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！

So far every appetizer and specialty role we have ever gotten from Bento box has been out of this world delicious. We never have sat at the bar in front of the sushi makers station, was awesome to see the process in action, and the chefs even overheard us talking about how good one of the roles he was previously making looked, so he asked if we wanted to try it and he made it for us within 60 seconds. 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!

There's some parking in front and a ton out back. We decided to eat inside because it was hinting at rain, but there's a cute patio that would be great if the weather was good. Our server, Samantha, was seriously the best! She was friendly, funny, honest, and super approachable. We never felt rushed in any way, and she checked on us just the right amount of times. I decided to try the pad thai as a baseline- definitely passed the test. I had it with shrimp and there were so many shrimp in the dish! It was huge, and the leftovers tasted great the next day. I also love love sushi so I decided to also try the caterpillar roll and the cherry blossom roll. Both were fresh and delicious! One of my friends loves spicy food. Samantha tried to warn her about the spice levels, and my friend determined she wanted what the owners would consider spicy. Samantha then also brought her a tray of additional spicy things. My friend was ecstatic! She added so much more to her food to the point that normal humans would need an ambulance and loved every single bite. Definitely recommend, and I'll definitely be back to try other menu items and enjoy the patio.

The tuna tartare was unrecognizable as the color was more of a dull brownish color And not acceptable for a Wilmington/Wrightsville Beach restaurant. Such a huge let down.

Bartender was very knowledgeable of food and drink menu.
