Hawaii's Genki Sushi…

221

good happy valentines day morning!!! hope you all get your chocolate today. windy day again with small waves around the island. if you go north, laniakea will probably be fun. if you go south, rockpiles or kaisers will probably be best. i know a better spot but can’t say because i want to surf out there with nobody out. got to do some computer work, go surf, and enjoy this sunny day in hawaii. hope you do too….

kapahulu genki sushi is 5 minutes away from my house. it’s been there 8 years and last night was the first time i went to eat there. after eating the best of the best sushi in japan, i never go to genki, kozo, or aloha sushi. spoiled? i think so… well, here’s what i think about my first visit to genki sushi….

first of all, i don’t like a machine making my sushi. the free hot tea and ginger is cool. the ika was pretty good at $1.50. everything else didn’t look that good so i didn’t really want to try it. when i eat this kind of sushi in japan, i end up eating around 15 plates. at genki, i only ate 4. i had 2 ika, 1 spicy tuna poke, and fried ika. i left the place still hungry. and hyper from drinking all that free tea. would i recommend it? no way i would take my visiting japanese guests there. but it’s packed with locals every night and doing really well. i guess for hawaii’s standards, it’s good. but for my spoiled ass, not good enough. i rather prefer maguro-ya. better quality but big bucks…. i don’t know, i’m just not feeling genki now….
**sorry, i don’t really like to talk bad about places in hawaii but i just wasn’t happy. in fact, on the way home, i went to mcdonalds drive thru and ordered a salad. and i was much more satisfied… my mom goes to genki 2x a week and i still don’t get it…
