Clean, fresh, simple Japanese meals. They cook everything to order and don't over-sauce their food like a lot of Americanized Japanese restaurants. Great mom-and-pop place run by a hardworking family.
Wen and her husband are salt of the earth types who make wholesome Japanese-style set lunches. My go-to order is the grilled shrimp and teriyaki chicken combo — the proteins have a bit of char on them that is just downright yummy.
I have have been getting the wonderful chicken Teriyaki with rice from Genji for years and it is the best I have every tasted. Grilled to perfection. The 'Sushi is also very fresh and very good. Easy to go or eat in. Clean and located in Downtown Oakland. You can also buy their great Salad dressing in bottle form. I bring the dressing to friends as gifts.
