What User likes about Gen Kai Japanese:
I needed ten years. I've been going to Gen Kai for 10 years I'm not a sushi meal, but Gen Kai has many other great dishes and I never had a bad meal there and the food got hot at the table and the service is excellent. View all feedback. What Brenden Lebsack doesn't like about Gen Kai Japanese:
Worst Sushi ever. It was good three years ago. Looks like everything went wrong. Bad food with ZERO taste or freshness. Doesn't look like something you'd eat. Had a few pieces and disposed of the rest. As in the picture below. Awful and would not recommend. View all feedback.

read moreDespite being a long-term customer looking forward to dining in-house, the experience at the restaurant was disappointing. Service was lacking, portions were small, and the quality was subpar. However, there were positive reviews highlighting the master chef's skills, fresh sashimi, and varied menu. While some enjoyed the overall experience, others found it cramped. The restaurant seems to have mixed reviews, with some loyal customers praising the food and service, while others criticize the declining quality. Overall, it seems like the restaurant has potential, but inconsistencies in service and quality may deter some customers.
I recently returned to town and had to satisfy my craving for sushi at Gen Kai. We arrived at 5:40 pm, ordered 5 rolls (all delicious), and finished in less tha...
read moreOut of all the Japanese restaurants in Orange County, this place is the best. The portions are generous and the food is delicious. I highly recommend it!
The sushi servings were tiny with no fish in sight. The menu was disappointing and the lack of sauce on the sushi, despite it being advertised, was frustrating.
