We had dinner here the other night. The food was very good and the price was very fair, a great value. The service was 10 out of 10. The sushi was extremely fresh, would recommend this to any one that loves sushi and wants to not spend the kids education fund in the process.

It will come as a surprise to many that an excellent sushi establishment is located in a strip mall, across from a Target. Many may be surprised to hear that Genki Sushi is definitely a top-notch place to get sushi. My husband is originally from Seattle (with a very large Japanese population) and I have been to numerous parts of... More

I recently went to Genki for dinner by myself when in Wilmington on business. I live in Washington DC where I thought that I was spoiled with my sushi options but Genki had a little something different/extra to offer. My expectation was that the quality would be good but everything was great. The waitress talked me into some rolls that... More

I moved to Wilmington 3 weeks ago and discovered Genki Sushi across the street from Target. So far I’ve been twice for their excellent spider roll. It is as good a spider roll as I’ve had anywhere and I’ve been to sushi bars in several cities. I do find their sushi selection somewhat limited compared to, say, the Washington, DC... More

My husband I quickly became regulars after visiting Genki a couple of years ago. The sushi is amazing, the staff is GREAT and the atmosphere is casual and inviting. We are avid sushi fans but after eating at Genki, we will never eat sushi anywhere else in town. The Seafood Croquettes are a common appetizer for us along with the... More

I hadn't been here in years, instead kept going to more convienient sushi joints downtown. Was in the area tonight and Genki Sushi is heads and tails above the other places. Their fish is divine. Right temperature, super super fresh. Melt in your mouth. Excellent and attentive service. I had tuna and yellowtail sushi and a salmon Philly roll. So... More

For a truly authentic Japanese experience, you MUST visit Genki!! Owners Sugi-san, the sushi chef, and his wife Rieko prepare everything fresh and are wonderful hosts for your delicious japanese meal. We've been eating here for years and have never been disappointed. Once you've experienced Genki, you will not go back to those "americanized" sushi restaurants. Always filled with regulars,... More

Family run joint where you often have to wait a minute to get served. However, that's because there is only one Sushi Chef. But, good, quality sushi will come your way.

The atmosphere is straight out of Japan. Having lived there for two years, and loving sushi, I can safely say that Sushi Genki faithfully recreates the feeling of a sushi restaurant in Japan. I struck up a conversation with Sugi-san, the Japanese chef and his wife Rieko. They quickly mentioned that it would be at least 30 minutes for sushi... More
