    Genki is my all time favorite sushi restaurant in Wilmington. I come all the way from Oak island every time I’m there, it is a must. Genki has a very nostalgic and homey atmosphere. - Chef Danny consistently executes every sushi order with precision and tasty perfection. His wife (the hostess most nights) is a gem and always lovely to talk to, . Sophia, thank you for always providing me with excellent service and making me feel welcome and remembered. Thank you to all Genki employees for creating such an amazing and enjoyable experience. If you are trying to decide to go to Genki or not, I would 100000% recommend trying it out. You WILL NOT regret it. Don’t forget to bring a few singles for extra caramels too!

    My favorite Japanese in Wilmington was a little bit disappointing this time. Having been born in Tokyo and raised there and elsewhere in Asia, I am quite picky about Japanese food. The agedashi tofu and house salads were very nice, and the yaki soba with chicken was fine but had very little chicken. For sushi we ordered the Geisha roll and the Sea Dragon roll (tuna on top untorched). The rice, interiors of the rolls, and tobiko ion top of the Geisha roll were delicious, but the tuna resting on top of both of them was very light in color and rather tasteless. I asked the waiter what kind of tuna it was. He didn’t know, but he asked the chef who said it was yellow fin, which should have been deep pink or even red in color when raw. The yellow fin I have had there previously (maguro) was red, delicious, and tender. I hope I have better luck next time!
