After being closed for three months of renovations, they finally reopened, and the upgrade is obvious. They removed the old floor-seating area and opened up the entire dining room, so the space feels brighter and more spacious.
Service was fast and the staff were genuinely friendly and helpful. It wasn’t very busy on opening day, so that might have helped, but I’m hoping they keep that pace as more people come back.
The food was excellent. I tried several dishes from the new menu and didn’t dislike a single one. The quality is honestly better than I expect from an AYCE place, and I’d say this might be the best all-you-can-eat sushi in Winnipeg.
The price did go up a couple dollars (now $38.99 before tax), but with the new menu and overall experience, it still feels worth it.
The only downside: the women’s washroom hasn’t been renovated and was noticeably dirty, which didn’t match the refreshed space.
Overall, I’m really happy they’re open again!!

went to Sushi Gen recently for their all-you-can-eat sushi, and it ended up being a really nice experience. The food came out fresh and fast, and for an AYCE place, the quality was actually pretty solid. One cool thing about the restaurant is that they have a traditional seating area where you sit on the ground. It adds a unique vibe, but I didn’t get to try it this time because you actually need to reserve those spots in advance. Still, it looked like a fun option for next time. Parking was easy enough—there are some paid spots right around the restaurant, or you can just find street parking nearby, which is what I did. It wasn’t a hassle at all. Overall, Sushi Gen is a great place if you want a relaxed sushi night with good portions, a lot of variety, and a bit of that traditional feel without it being too formal.

The best selection and quality of All-you-can-eat Sushi that I’ve tried so far in Winnipeg. Price is very reasonable and service was excellent. Parking is a challenge though.

Food is average 6/10. Their sushi's got a lot of rice so I take rice off it.
Service? 1/10. They advertise that they close at 22:00. Last order 21:00. Understandable. But people are still eating around 21:15/21:30, and they're cleaning the bathroom and doesn't let anyone use it anymore. The servers doesn't seem like they even want to be there either. Still, they ask for a 15% tip for such service.
Nice to know I can't use the bathroom at 21:15 as a paying customer still eating. And also, they do close at 22:00. Maybe they should change it to 21:00 so they have more reason to not let us use the bathroom anymore.

Love the place and food. Eat all you can very affordable not good parking though.
Amazing all-you-can-eat sushi! The food at Sushi Gen is always fresh and delicious. I especially loved the sashimi and torched salmon — so good! Great variety, fast service, and friendly staff. Totally worth the price. One of the best sushi places in Winnipeg. Highly recommend!

The food is well-behaved, and the service is not good, only worth one star.

Unfortunately just not a hit for us. 42$ for all you can eat at 4 PM (dinner). Sushi rice was continually warm, even hot. Atmosphere felt grimey and unkempt. Tempura tasted undercooked and bland. Our host was good, but the servers lack even casual professionality. The love just wasn't there.

My husband, in laws, our 1 year old and i went as we go at least 2-3 times a year. They made us pay for our 1 year old even though he had maybe 5 bites of food.(it wasnt much to pay for him but hes only 1!) the service wasnt great either…no smiles, had to remind them to fill our waters (which was warm water!) and they would just run past us and throw the food on our table. They also forgot part of our order and had to wait at elast 15-20 mins before anyone came back for our menu.
