When it comes to enjoying one’s favorite items at Genki Sushi, any season is sushi season.
Local diners of all ages are invited “all aboard” the train as the Genki Su- shi “Bullet Express” continues to bring flavor and fun to patrons across Hawaii. The restaurant chain is also experiment- ing with a new mobile technology that allows guests at select locations to order directly from their phones and pay for their orders with a few clicks.
By taking the Japanese sushi tradition to new levels, Genki Sushi is an inno- vator in the culinary community after initially popularizing kaiten sushi —
translated to mean “revolving,” as the popular selections became famous for being served on a conveyor belt.
With eight locations on Oahu, as well as eateries on Kauai (Kukui Grove Shopping Center), Maui (Maui Mall) and Hawaii Island (Kona and Hilo), Genki Sushi serves up flavorful cre- ations in a fun, family-friendly atmo- sphere. Diners may choose from a host of delicious sushi selections, rice bowls topped with local favorites, ben- to sets, tasty desserts and beverages.
Most Genki Sushi locations across the state offer the double-rail bullet train sushi delivery configuration for convenient, ultra-fast ordering to help
identify and select one’s favorite choices in a flash. As part of the train-ordering process, diners can place orders via a touch-screen panel and receive their fresh sushi favorites tableside.
Diners can look forward to new spe- cials available now through the summer. Rayu Chicken ($11) is a must-try special that makes its anticipated return to the Genki menu as the sweet-and-spicy sauce covers fried chicken that goes great with a side of rice and one’s fa- vorite beverage.
The Rainbow Dragon ($11) pairs the popular Rainbow and Dragon rolls into one as ahi, salmon and avocado are placed atop the roll with imitation crab
