Genki Japanese Sushi Of Wilmington Nc

I enjoyed many Japanese restaurants and this place was amazing. Once you go into you, you will be awarded Japanese welcome and the view of the place is very traditional. The food was amazing and the sushi was very fresh and made right. The staff was friendly and polite and the prices were also fair with inflation and the prices of everything that went up. I didn't find it too high at all, mainly used with the high-quality ingredients. It was the first time I and my wife came, but you've been out here regularly. Thanks for your service and we can't wait to try something new next time.

Foodie here and well traveled. Some of the best sushi I have had and will continue to come back on a regular basis!

Edit- This lady replies to every single review if it’s not glowingly positive. The 1star review is mostly because of how rude she was to us. We didn’t argue with her and were completely polite. She knows it’s too long of a wait and is ready to be combative with customers. Don’t worry, we can make our own sushi at home and often do. No need for us to ever deal with this restaurant again. Honestly this place gave us one of the worst experiences we have had at a restaurant. I wasn’t even going to review until the owner/manager came over and was rude and aggressive towards us. We came when they OPENED for lunch. We were two of the first 6 people in the door. Waited 1 hour and 20 minutes for our food. I know they are short staffed. We saw the signs. 80 minutes at lunch is still excessive. The guys who were servers were great and helpful. Honestly if you are so short staffed, you have to close or only accept reservations or something. You can’t open your doors with one guy working, and make everyone wait for 1 hour+ and then be rude to your customers when they express they waited a long time. She came over and asked us, we were honest, and she was defensive. She said “Is it your first time here?” Is that seriously what you say? This place is just “worth the wait”? Only it’s not.. because on top of all of this the sushi was just OK and it was expensive. The search for decent sushi in Wilmington continues. We won’t ever be back here.

This place had absolutely the authentic Japanese sushi bar feeling! The staff was friendly and greeted me at the door and the placements at each seat were a nice touch to the authentic feeling. The food was great and prepared by a boss who works right in front of you (if you sit at the bar). They were moderately busy for lunch, but for a small place they seemed to have more than enough seats. It was clear that they lacked employees (which didn't? but that didn't affect my experience at all and despite that helped them get their 5 stars! Great price, great location, friendly staff and for an authentic Japanese sushi bar feeling, this place was advertised!

The food here was so good! Authentic Japanese food and sushi. We visited the weekend and stumbled in this place. While there a nice customer bought a round of Sake Shots in honor of the owner and Sushi Koch because of his hard work. The food definitely talked about his hard work. We felt like locals and found that this place is a normal place for us when we live in the area. Very recommend it in search of good authentic Japanese foods at a reasonable price!
