Salmon and yellowtail Sashimi was great. But the signature ichiban sushi dish clearly had canned tuna. Will not order that again.

The taste is superrrr terrible. The worst Japanese food I’ve tried in USA. The cooking oil also bad, got sore throat after eating here.

The rolls are tasteless (we had three different rolls). And the veggie dumplings are okay. Definitely not worth the price.

Don't come to this place, if you value cuisine in any way, shape, or form do not come here. I am in no place to argue prices but for what we got for the price at which we got it, I have nothing else to leave with other than a feeling of deep dissatisfaction. Not only did they charge nearly $3 for a cup of tea, an offering usually synonymous with a free glass of water when it comes to Asian restaurants, but there were numerous points at which I was concerned with overall cleanliness. I still want to provide something positive and have this be somewhat legitimate criticism rather than a spirited rant so I will say that the service was decent and the food alright. Nothing more than an average if not slightly below average restaurant.

Absolutely love this establishment and location. The server and staff are always so friendly! Food is always consistent and so tasty and very reasonably priced! Always come to this location and does not disappoint at all. Recommend!!!

Great sushi, good vibe, quick and friendly server! Take a risk on the ume shiso roll - very fun bright counterpoint to the unctuous cozy fish flavors.

Good coffee. Good espresso drinks. Roasted beans to go. Love the Guduba light roast!

Really good sushi, great service too. They were very welcoming and the food came out very quick. Pretty reasonable prices too.

I've been to the other Genki Ya location and that was good, but this one is much closer to where I normally visit. Very good food and very friendly staff! Absolutely will be going back again!

Ordered pickup via grubhub. Meal took 30 min longer to be ready than projected so we waited quite a bit. However food was good.
