They need to update the name of the restaurant
The cook/chef did not really interact with us at all. He was nice but boring. We took our daughter there for her birthday. We mentioned that in our reservation. They brought her fruit and sang to her and then charged us for it. $ 7.00 for a few bites of pineapple. After Spending over $200.00 between 6 of us, you have to charge for that? Not sure we would come back.

We traditionally go to Genji Japanese Steakhouse to celebrate birthdays. Our birthday guy had never been there. Was very disappointed that the chef did not do ANY of the usual "show" this time. That is part of the Genji experience! Felt like we only got 1/2 our money's worth. Food was great as usual.

We have eaten here a lot. Came back for my daughter's birthday and was seated next to a bachelorette party. They kept adding people to the table which ended up at my table. They wanted to-go orders from the cook and distracted him constantly. The Chef did NO tricks, no entertainment at all because of this party. The manager kept allowing the party to get bigger at my expense. I told the waitress we were really disappointed and she apologized and said she was doing her best. The manager should have stepped in and done something. We normally have a great time here, but it will be a long while before we go back. The Chef went to another table and they were having a great time! Very sad for my daughter on her birthday.

The restaurant is very nice, and clean, and so are the seating areas. However our actual server was rude and not enthusiastic when we sat at her table, although she was nice to the other guests. The chef was very kind and funny, and made an entertaining performance for everyone. The food was great and you get a lot for lunch time prices. I would recommend going there, but choosing a different server. I will probably go to Beni Hana next time.
The only gripe I have is that in the comments section when I made the reservation online I noted that it was my daughter's birthday. We even walked in with gift bags. I thought they would recognize her, but no one did. Other than that, food and service was great, fast, and delicious.
We are from Texas, but our family lives in Columbus. Every time we visit, we take everyone for great food and a fun experience at Gengi. Make sure you make reservations. We made ours on-line and it made the entire evening more enjoyable knowing we would be seated on time.

Very fun place. We take out of town guests and is a popular choice for special occasions like birthdays. Scallops are large. Steaks are tender. Chicken....taskes like chicken. The cooks are fun and do a good job of entertaining. We live near Fusion but choose to drive 45 minutes (or more in rush hour) to go to Genji. Only negatives I have is they tend to overcook sea food. And, it's getting a little run down. They are busy so I'm sure it's just a cycle.
we recently went there for my birthday. The chef was great but the servers and hostesses seemed ditzy and inattentive. a couple of times I looked around the table and everyone's drink was empty... Unacceptable since we were one of three tables. Other than that, it was a great experience. Love their yum yum sauce!

I was very upset that even though I had made a reservation they would not seat us until the WHOLE party was there. So I had to hold/entertain my one year old until EVERYONE was present. I came with 5 out of the 7 in our group so the majority was present but they still wouldn't seat us AND it wasn't busy!
Nice place, food and portions were very good. Our chef was fantastic, fun and involved. He seemed to really enjoy what he does. Our waiter was okay but we told him of a serious seafood allergy in our group and he forgot to mention it to our chef. We mentioned it again to our chef since he clearly hadn't been told and started to cook the shrimp first. I would recommend this place, it was enjoyable, food was yummy.

I always enjoy Genjis went for mine and my husbands birthday. They sang,brought out some dish with pineapple most of all they took our picture. We will be returning to i sometime in the future. Thanks Genjis for an excellent meal.

Want dinner and a show? I love this place for the atmosphere, entertaining chefs, and fabulous food...most of all the yum-yum sauce! I love watching everything I am going to eat be cooked in front of me! My filet was perfectly cooked, and so juicy. The yum-yum sauce is the perfect complement to well, everything! My husband had the steak and shrimp which he said was flavorful and hit the spot. The only complaint is if you sit too close, your eyebrows might get singed! The chef had amazing knife work and was a lot of fun to watch. Overall, I can't wait to go back!
