“ Had to make the short trip to this place after seeing it on social media. Definitely lived up to expectations on multiple fronts. The sushi was delicious and fresh. My favorite, I forget the name, but it had spicy tuna with seared Salmon on top. Sooo good. The kani salad was greeeeat. The spicy tuna pizza was different and was concerned it would taste weird but it was amazing. The shrimp tempura, gyozas and calamari were good, my only criticisms would probably be the Udon didn’t have any flavor. Atleast for my taste buds I felt it was a let down. The fried rice was flavorful though so it made up. Overall, I’d give this place a 4.5 but I’ll round up cuz I don’t wanna give it a 4. Will definitely be back. For 30 a person for dinner, this is well worth it! ”
“ This is our favorite Japanese restaurant, the food is fresh and very tasty! The place is beautiful and the waiters are very polite. There are many varieties and options such as salmon, tuna, octopus, claim... my favorite roll is the Sunshine Roll! I recommend this restaurant 100%! ”
“ Japanese traditional options including sushi, maki rolls, appetizers and sake in a very casual environment. Food and service were both very good. The place very busy on Friday evening, I would suggest making reservations if possible. ”
“ What a great all-you-can-eat experience! The ambiance was great, and the robot server is a fun novelty that I would come back to experience again. All of the sushi was tasty, and I appreciated how many non-sushi items they had on the menu too. I also haven’t seen a restaurant have a dessert sushi roll! It was tasty and unique. Such a great addition to Hamden! ”
“ Want ALL-You-Can-Eat sushi at an unbelievable price? Then Genki is the place for you!! All the specialty rolls are absolutely delicious and fresh. They also have a little bit of everything for the picky eaters in your family. Gyoza, fried rice, bao buns, etc. They truly have something for everyone and their prices are unbeatable for the quality of food you get. 21.99 for the AYCE lunch. You can barely get 3 rolls anywhere for that price. My family and I have been here three times in the last 6months in spite of the fact that we live over an hour away. ”
“ This place has clearly a lot going for it – from fair pricing to a wonderfully creative menu and great presentation. We tried a wide range of dishes, including the Spicy Tuna Pizza, Hawaii Salad, and Mango Salmon roll – all thoughtfully prepared and visually impressive. The sushi boat was a real highlight, beautifully plated with generous portions that made it easy to try lots of different rolls. We also enjoyed the dessert sushi which was fun and tasty as well as the fresh sashimi platter served over ice. While not every dish was an absolute standout, everything we had was fresh, good quality, and enjoyable. The friendly service, nice decor, and creative plating made for a great overall dining experience. Definitely a place worth returning to! ”
“ We were blown away by our experience at this all-you-can-eat Japanese restaurant. Traveling from Shelton, we were hoping it would be worth it, and it absolutely was! From the moment we walked in, the service was impeccable – friendly, attentive, and efficient. The food was incredible, with a wide variety of delicious options to choose from. We left feeling completely satisfied and already planning our next visit. Highly recommend!" ”
“ First time coming here and my fiance and I had a great experience! All of the rolls were so good and fresh! It does get busy around dinner time but the service was quick and efficient. The location itself is a little tight but still roomy without feeling like you’re sitting on top of each other. Definitely will be coming back! :) ”
