“OMG, I can't say enough "good thing's" about Big Tuna! Excellent service. My waitress was super friendly, fast, and efficient. My table was promptly cleared after each course by either the waitress or busboy. ...and those Japanese Taco's; can't get enough of them! Also, I love the fact that I can pop in to the store and pickup the Big Tuna Hot Sauce for home!“

“5 Stars
I’m not sure why my previous review disappeared—perhaps it was my mistake—but I’ve meant to give this business a 5-star rating for a long time, and I still stand by it today. This is a wonderful, family-run Korean restaurant, and I truly appreciate their dedication and hard work to keep going, even when things get tough. Their food and service consistently bring me back. Highly recommended!“

“I must say I was pleasantly surprised with this restaurant. We attended for my nieces birthday, she is a giant fan and except for a town full of our trusty blackstones, it’s almost 4 hours away to find one. We were greeted properly by the hostess who was very friendly. Our server and JP (ask for him) our amazing chef outdid themselves making this experience so much fun. Part of coming to a restaurant like this is the interaction with the employees and all of our needs were met. The restaurant is large, well appointed and exceptionally clean, a great place for small & large gatherings. While I would give five stars for both of these things, the food was the icing on the cake. I traded my miso soup to the birthday girl for her salad, she loved it and ate both bowls. The salad was light and refreshing with a flavorful mayonnaise based dressing, I didn’t even notice it wasn’t a sesame based. Large selection of Sake and mixed drinks all at a great price. There were no complaints from any of us on the main course. Large portions are standard, I tried everything but my favorite was the filet. Shrimp, Scallops and New York was awesome too. I definitely will be back.“

“Yummy food with great prices! Portions were nice. You could split into two meals, but it’s also enough to cover someone with a big appetite. Everything we ordered tasted great. Happy to find another place to support local 🩷“

“Very friendly staff. Food fresh and very tasty!!“

“Everything tasted great for the price/quality. If your looking for quantity over quality you got it here. Prices are good, everything tasted really good. My complaint is i spent almost 150$ dollars on food and getting it delivered and they forgot my drink! I tried messaging the delivery driver and calling the resturant but it didnt work. Out the 5$ which was pretty disappointing :/ photo includes everything we received (MINUS THE DRINK) delivery also took like...almost an hour longer than it said it would so why could you possibly forget my drink??“

“Amazing food! Restaurant very clean! Stuff is friendly“

“Always treated like a king here!“

“Delicious sushi, very friendly service, quiet and clean atmosphere! One of our new favorites!“

“GenKai is always my go to place. I love their extensive sushi picture book. I know exactly what’s in the rolls and what it looks like. No surprises. New to eating sushi and that picture book helps a lot. Won’t order without that book. There’s around 70+ specialties in the picture book and I am attempting to try them all, especially being able to order half the rolls on happy hour. Highly recommended!“

“We went here for my birthday in March, and just went for hubby's birthday today. Awesome food!😋“

“always been great service and amazing food but tonight was an experience I'd never encountered food amazing as always but service was far below my normal experience. main reason being I was charged an automatic gratuity because of a large party that I understand what I don't understand is the audacity to charge me a automatic gratuity and still charge me for a second drink after I didn't receive my meal till I asked for it 3 times after everyone else had already ate. mind you 5 people showed up after everyone else but my cousin and I got to watch everyone else eat l. will never lie food is always awesome cant blame chefs, or the guys at sushi bar today was just horrible service“
