One of my favorite Sushi spots in Oaktown!

I saw the great review about the teriyaki chicken from previous review (didn't look at the year..oops) and decided to try a combo of beef and chicken teriyaki. All I can say is it wasn't seasoned well. The meat should taste good by itself and it wasn't. The slaw/salad wasn't seasoned well either.

Not bad or great but average.

I got their salmon gyoza and teriyaki chicken. Unfortunately they were bland and just not good

I have have been getting the wonderful chicken Teriyaki with rice from Genji for years and it is the best I have every tasted. Grilled to perfection. The 'Sushi is also very fresh and very good. Easy to go or eat in. Clean and located in Downtown Oakland. You can also buy their great Salad dressing in bottle form. I bring the dressing to friends as gifts.

I had an extraordinary in this restaurant. We liked the nice environment and the food. The waiters are very friendly. I’m content we ultimately managed to try this place.

Surely a place worth stopping by, the food is awesome and well prepared, the prices are reasonable and it is regularly clean in here. Highly recommended.

Wen and her husband are salt of the earth types who make wholesome Japanese-style set lunches. My go-to order is the grilled shrimp and teriyaki chicken combo — the proteins have a bit of char on them that is just downright yummy.
