My boyfriend and I visited here from Toronto about a week ago. Serena was our server. The customer service was fantastic. She left such a good impression on us and really made our trip. She was incredibly gracious and so accommodating. We will return to this location just to visit her. The sushi was great, quality of the fish was fresh and the pieces were huge. They have tons of sushi options. Highly recommend this sushi spot.

Great quality Sushi ? Best in town!!!

Genji is our go-to place for really special occasions. The takeout selection and quality has always been consistently great. In many years of coming here, they've never made a mistake on the requested food, and we've never been disappointed. Highly recommended.

Great portion of sashimi, cut very thick. Beef teriyaki was well cooked to medium. Tempura needs more work. The shrimp tempura bread can be bigger, and the tempura sauce is too blend. The menu combo can be developed for more sushi + sashimi combo. The servers were attentive and nice. The place is clean.

If you know anything about Japanese food, this is not the place. Chicken teriyaki was basically boiled chicken with teriyaki sauce. “Yaki” means “grilled”! Tuna in roll tasted defrosted. “Salad” was iceberg lettuce with a cherry tomato on top but sauce was in a container UNDER it so you don’t see it until you sadly nibble through it. Never had such bad tempura. Skip it!

super delicious, our server was so kind and had the coolest glasses! will be coming back ♡

Alright sushi, touch expensive, great wait staff. The sushi was kind of warm which was a little concerning as the rolls had a bit of a strong fish smell for sushi. A touch overpriced as I could have gone and eaten at C'est Japon for about the same amount.

Ordered here many times. Today I ordered and asked if they could include gluten free soya sauce as I'm trying a new diet. Not only they did that but labeled everything too! So sweet, sushi was fresh as usual. Lots of good options for vegans. Spring rolls were tasty.

Great food and a pleasant atmosphere. This was my first time but not my last. The Beef Teriyaki was amazing, so good.

Amazing! The service was great, the food was better and I left happy as can beThe eggplant was to die for!
