" Overall, I had a decent experience at Genji. The sushi was quite nice, although I've had better elsewhere. The ambience is lovely, but the service was a little slow during peak hours. I ordered the sashimi platter, which was fresh but not as flavorful as I anticipated. It's a good spot if you're in the area and craving sushi, but I'd say it's not the best in town. " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently had dinner at Genji after hearing so many great things. I tried their eel sushi and it was quite tasty! The service was friendly but a bit slow, as it was quite busy that night. The ambiance was nice and made for a good dining experience overall. I'll return soon to try some of their other dishes! " (*Curated Review*)

" My family loves Genji! Each time we go, we are met with consistently high-quality sushi. I particularly enjoyed the unique rolls they offer, which are a delightful twist on traditional sushi. The staff is always cheerful, and it's nice to see familiar faces welcoming us back. The prices are fair, considering the quality of the food. Highly recommend for sushi lovers! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had my birthday dinner at Genji, and it was an unforgettable experience! The staff went above and beyond to make the evening special. The sashimi was incredibly fresh, perhaps the best I've ever had. I also appreciated the thoughtful presentation of the dishes. This will definitely be my new birthday spot every year! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a lovely place for a night out! The sushi was very good with a range of options to choose from. I had the salmon roll, which was rich and tasty, followed by some delicious mochi for dessert. The ambiance was comfortable and not too loud, perfect for conversation. Definitely on my list of places to return to! " (*Curated Review*)

" An absolutely stunning restaurant! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with a warm smile. The sushi was delightful, and I loved the variety of options. I recommend trying their special rolls; they are creatively crafted. Overall great service and a pleasant evening. I'll be back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't say enough good things about Genji! From the moment I entered, I was captivated by the authentic Japanese decor and welcoming atmosphere. The gyoza and miso soup were delightful starters. For my main course, I had the tempura bento box, which was generous and perfectly cooked. It was a lovely dinner out with friends, and I can't wait to go back and try more from their menu!
