Genki Ya Brookline was one of my favorite places to get sushi. Tonight, a group of us went there for dinner. The nigiri plates smelled old, smelled like bad fish, as did the specialty rolls! After a couple of bites I was completely grossed out. I always keep a pack of Cipro at home for emergencies. It will come in handy tonight! What a shame! I’ll never go there again!

3 rolls with $6 cost of ingredients come to $35 before they ask me for tip to pick up myself when ordering online I get that you guys pay rent etc, but having 500% margins is crazy

I live in Houston, TX, But every time I visit my parents in Boston, I always insist on going to Genki-Ya at least once. They have a very extensive maki roll menu, especially for vegetarians!!!!! Excellent sushi spot for vegetarians. Also extremely reasonably priced, and great lunch specials!!!

Service was good as th waitress very attentive to my vegetarian needs so the miso soup was vegan friendly. The vegetarian sushi was very good. A bit surprise with the tofu dashi was a biit plain compared to original japanese version.

I’d say it’s pretty average all around. The rice is soft. The fish tasted pretty normal. I got the Yaki udon which was in my opinion not that good. I probably wouldn’t come back, but it was a warm and cozy place. I thought the prices were fairly priced as well so a lot of good to come.

Large menu with lots of delicious options! A Brookline staple for classic rolls.
The restaurant was extremely clean, the wait time was less than five minutes after I ordered, the prices were really affordable affair, and the staff is really attentive and nice! The music and ambience made the whole experience. Wonderful I definitely recommend visiting and trying out.🥹❤️❤️❤️

Not sure about the sushi, but whatever you do, do not order the udon noodles. They must have cooked the noodles with the veggies because it was a $25 bland, soggy mess.

I was at the genka yacht in Cambridge a little while back and thought I'd put it back in my regular rotation. But this place convinced me otherwise. The sushi just was not fabulous.
Genki Ya?
Genki- No!
A cautionary tale!
