We ordered delivery- super expensive for the surprisingly low quality. Sushi did not seem fresh. Order was incorrect.

Came here today with an old friend who eats here often with his wife. Genki Ya is a cozy little restaurant with friendly service and delicious maki rolls. I especially recommend coming at lunch when the restaurant is not so busy. Prices for lunch are quite reasonable. For about $15 I had soup, salad (with an awesome tasting dressing) and two large flavorful maki rolls (spicy tuna and spice tuna with avocado).

Love this place. Only organic sushi I’m aware of in Boston! The staff and manager lady is always so friendly and welcoming. One wait staff once told me I was ordering too much at the Chinatown location, lol!

The sushi is good here. They put a lot of large pieces of fish on their rolls and the ingredients like the rice and what not are usually fresh. I usually just stick to 2 or 3 of my go to rolls there. Rainbow roll, spicy tuna and the torched roll. Usually 1 waitress handles all the tables during a lunch or dinner service and food comes out fast.

I got 3 nigiri (2pc) for about $25 when I could've gone down the street and gotten a $11 burrito that would've actually made me full. It's not really worth the price. $9 for 2 pieces feels like a crime. The staff are good though, and the food quality is good.

they make pretty sushi. The caterpillar roll looks like a cute caterpillar. Miso soup is good. Sushi tastes average.

The food is always delicious and the delivery usually comes pretty quick. I like the chicken katsu curry but the sushi is also very good. Definitely recommend this restaurant!

Great food that is slightly more expensive than other sushi places I've been to but it's also in Coolidge corner which is notoriously more expensive. Service is fast and friendly. There are tables inside and out when's it nice outside

Parking: Parking lot around the corner on fuller st

We got a few rolls for a quick lunch. The miso soup was okay, but the rolls were great. Super fresh and with a lot of fish. Good rice to roll ratio.
