" This restaurant was recommended to me by a friend and I’m glad I made it there! It has a charming authentic Japanese vibe, and even smells like a izakaya. The beef yakiniku was absolutely divine, and their gyoza nearly brought a tear to my eye! I can’t wait to bring more friends and enjoy a karaoke night again soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" I’m giving Genji a solid 4 stars. The atmosphere is exciting, particularly with karaoke in full swing, but my food experience was mixed. I found the yakitori well-seasoned, but the sushi didn't live up to expectations. Overall, I had fun, and the staff was friendly, but I wish the food was more consistent. I’ll return for more karaoke nights! " (*Curated Review*)

" Disappointing experience at Genji. The food wasn't as fresh as I expected, and the atmosphere felt a bit chaotic with too many customers and poor layout. My sushi was not great, and the service was slow despite being friendly. I was looking for an authentic Japanese dining experience but left feeling let down. I don’t think I’ll return any time soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience was frustrating due to the chaotic environment and inattentive service. The food was average, with my ramen tasting more like instant noodles than a fresh-made dish. There were also lingering smells that were quite off-putting. I might give it another chance for their karaoke, but I've had better dining experiences elsewhere. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes for Genji but left disappointed. While I appreciated the effort of the staff, the food didn't stand up to the expectations, particularly the sushi which wasn't as fresh as advertised. The surrounding atmosphere got a bit rowdy which took away from the experience. I might give it another shot at a quieter time but I'm skeptical about the food quality based on my last visit. " (*Curated Review*)

" I'm quite picky about Japanese food, and I have to say Genji has exceeded my expectations! The ramen was rich, and I could tell they used good quality ingredients. My only wish is for them to improve their service speed, as I felt a bit neglected during my visit. Still, I enjoyed my meal and came away satisfied. " (*Curated Review*)

" Genji has been a staple in my dining experiences! No matter what I order, I'm always satisfied. My love for their gyoza can't be overstated - they're simply the best in town! The only issue I've had is the occasional service lapse during busy hours, but the food makes up for it. Kudos to the karaoke that makes it even more lively and fun every time I go!
