Assistant general manager Dennis Diaz and front of house supervisors Jaynalyn Barut and Malisa Hirahara present a few of Genki Sushi’s tasty menu items.
Next stop for the Genki Sushi “Bullet Express” train is Kapolei.
The popular sushi spot opened its newest location at Kapolei Commons this weekend, and local diners are “all aboard” as patrons of all ages can look forward to the restaurant’s popular delivery system and expansive menu that includes daily and seasonal specials.
By taking the Japanese sushi tradition to new heights, Genki Sushi is considered an innovator in the culinary community after initially popularizing kaiten sushi, which means “revolving.”
Spicy Tuna Ebi Fry Roll ($5.95)
Most Genki Sushi locations across the state now offer the double-rail, “bullet train” sushi delivery configuration for convenient, ultra-fast ordering — a tried-and-true method for identifying and selecting one’s favorite choices. As part of the train-ordering process, diners can place orders via an updated, lightweight touch-screen panel and receive their fresh favorites at their table.
“Genki has always remained affordable and family-oriented,” says David Moon, director of purchasing and operations for Genki Sushi. “We’re committed to providing our customers with the latest technology and improving on everything we do within a family-friendly environment.”

With a total of eight locations on Oahu, as well as eateries on Kauai, Maui and Hawaii Island, Genki Sushi serves up flavorful sushi creations in a fun, family-friendly atmosphere. Diners may choose from a host of delicious sushi selections from nigiri to gunkan, rice bowls topped with local favorites, bento sets and even tasty desserts and beverages.
Some of the popular offerings include Seared Spicy Ebi ($3.95) with ebi, garlic mayo and a spicy sauce, and Fried Squid Combo ($3.95). Genki also specializes in specialty sushi rolls, including Spicy Tuna Ebi Fry Roll ($5.95) as well as the colorful and tasty Dragon Roll ($5.95).
