Genki Restaurant Sushi Bar - Cary

One of my old favorite spots for sushi. They have a wide selection of sushi and other menu items, but they have some regular spins on some of their reels with an orange sauce and mango sauces that distinguish them from other sushi restaurants. It's always a great place to come by when you're in the area.

Ok, since I am now home, and have had further time to think. FULL STORY ahead: I thought the atmosphere was decent, with the restaurants layout which reminded me heavily of a small sushi spot I frequented at in Naha, Okinawa. With the exception we stayed in chairs as opposed to sitting on more authentic cushions from when I lived abroad. Now, the bad, and the ugly. My family, and I initially did a walk up, and decided on putting a reservation later that evening. Despite putting in a reservation, we arrived at 8:24 prior to 8:30 reservation time and was STILL seated at the bar. Not worth fighting for, we carried on with our night. After putting in our order approximately 10 minutes later, we waited for on, or about 30 minutes with no server to re-fill water, check on status of our order, etc. finally about 9:15, we had a different server come over and let us know the kitchen was backed up, and behind on orders. Normally, again, I would be ok with issues like this, however they could have told us that the kitchen was backed up and to expect extremely high wait times. Later that evening we found out it was to prioritize an Uber Eats/ to go order AKA someone who didn't even bother leaving their home to come here. My son, and wife disappointed ended up just asking for our sushi rolls to go. At exactly 9:31 we finally arrived with our food. Again highly disappointed. OVER AN HOUR since arriving with no courtesy, or professionalism. To make matters worse all our orders were mixed up when we got to our destination, the sushi rolls sizes were EXTREMELY UNDERWHELMING especially for the higher price we paid for. I am usually the one who has patience in our relationship for food service, since we both came from the service industry, but this restaurant by far falls flat on almost every pillar which makes eating out great. Read the other low reviews, and you will see this is an unhealthy trend. The taste was ok at best after everything, but i couldn't help but feeling cheated, and taken advantage of my kindness by Genki Sushi towards the end of the night. NEVER in my 30+ years of eating out within this country, and abroad in other destinations have I experienced this lousy of an experience with the staff having little regard for their incompetency.

Absolutely delicious! We first ordered today and found a new favorite for Sushi! All we ordered was so tasty, and her Gyoza is the hands down from any restaurant I left. Will eat regularly here.

If I could give this zero star, I would. Too expensive, quality of fish went down, they served my husband two appetizers before mine. I just sat there with an empty drink that looked on Facebook. It used to be my favorite restaurant!

Good food and friendly atmosphere? I enjoyed Bento Box
