The yellowtail was great and sushi was good but the sashimi didn’t taste right – a little fishy (smell) and tuna felt frozen. Customer service was great as well – for the price, meh.

In 2011, Genki Ya at Fresh Pond was my go to sushi spot. The fish was fresh, 8 pieces per roll compared to 6 per roll at other restaurants, and price was fair. I left full and satisfied. There’s one waitress especially who made customers feel right at home with her personable demeanor and welcoming personality.
But like many restaurants, time is the true test. It’s a challenge to maintain success.
Unfortunately the quality has decreased. The last times I’ve had any type of sushi, salmon, tuna, yellowtail, eel — it’s all been old or lackluster at best.
They have decided to try to mask it with overloading the sushi rice with scallion slices. Completely taking away what sushi should taste like. The spicy rolls with old fish doesn’t help either.
I’m rooting for Genki Ya, specifically this location. I understand times are tough. I’ll even make a pass for the much higher prices due to the times we live in.
But it’s a MUST, to obtain fresh fish and store it properly in a timely manner and cook what’s left over before it spoils. People do and have noticed the quality dive.
Fresh Fish = Successful business and ratings.
That means fish that’s under two days old.

I was in the fresh pond area and stumbled upon Genki Ya. I stopped by and ordered a few sushi rolls. Overall, the flavors were fine, but it didn’t taste the freshest.
Not my favorite sushi spot in the area, but if you’re in the area not a bad option to consider. They also have lots of parking and seating inside. Service was quick too.

My first time here. I ordered the Hotate Kaiyaki
Scallops, crab, shrimp, flying-fish roe and mushrooms, baked in spicy mayo. Served on a scallops shell. Not a big portion if you’re hungry but it’s very tasty. Worth trying.

Great service, food clearly made with care and skill, absolutely would recommend! I had the Katsu Don off the lunch menu just before taking an exam, and it left me feeling full, cozy, and prepared to face the challenge!!!!

Had a quick lunch before watching movie. Nice place, portions were big. Unagi and Katsu don was tasty and good. Teriyaki chicken a bit dry. Overall good experience. Price is right.

Came here for a Saturday lunch.
3 for service – they are good to some particular customers and too busy for some others others. It takes some relationship and luck to be served well.
4.5 for food – decent sushi, nice decoration, still a little to go until perfect (some of the rolls fell apart when picked up by chopsticks).
5 for location – within walkable distance from the T and with parking lot.
3.5 for environment – a little tight especially when crowded.
3.5 for value – a little pricy overall
===
Therefore I would give an overall score of 3.9

An average sushi place with a good selection. While the rolls were reasonably priced, they lacked that wow factor in terms of taste. The atmosphere is basic and unassuming.

Good quality sushi, etc at decent prices. Small place with about 14 tables… Food is prepared well and the noodles are served very hot while tempura is light and delightful. Good stop over place at the end of a long day without a lot of complications.

The food is always good here—made to order, fresh, and presented thoughtfully.
