Genki Ya - Cambridge - Japanese restaurant in Cambridge - 231 Alewife Brook Pkwy, USA

I was in the fresh pond area and stumbled upon Genki Ya. I stopped by and ordered a few sushi rolls. Overall, the flavors were fine, but it didn't taste the freshest. Not my favorite sushi spot in the area, but if you're in the area not a bad option to consider. They also have lots of parking and seating inside. Service was quick too.

Genki Ya has such great sushi for an awesome price, too. They are quick while serving great quality. I will be back!

Coming from the west coast (that's my hook), it was ok. The prices were reasonable, and so was the food, not great, but reasonable. Wouldn't recommend the scallop hand roll (wasn't fresh to my taste), but the fish was good and fresh. I love Tobiko with egg, and was happy to see it on the menu, but it was goopy because they left the egg white (you're supposed to only use the yolk). The hand rolls are worth while, good price and quantity, get that.

Came here for a Saturday lunch. 3 for service - they are good to some particular customers and too busy for some others others. It takes some relationship and luck to be served well. 4.5 for food - decent sushi, nice decoration, still a little to go until perfect (some of the rolls fell apart when picked up by chopsticks). 5 for location - within walkable distance from the T and with parking lot. 3.5 for environment - a little tight especially when crowded. 3.5 for value - a little pricy overall === Therefore I would give an overall score of 3.9

Good quality sushi, etc at decent prices. Small place with about 14 tables... Food is prepared well and the noodles are served very hot while tempura is light and delightful. Good stop over place at the end of a long day without a lot of complications.

I called about a allergy for peanuts and three nuts, and he took five minutes to check the package, and with the kitchen and I am so grateful. the name of the employee is Kenny, Kenny is a wonderful person thank you.

One of the best sushi restaurants in town. My friends are vegetarian and genki ya has the best menu for vegetarian sushi roll. They have another location in Boston and it has really good drinks too. They have a lunch special where they serve you complimentary salad and miso soup. The staff is very friendly too.

I was surprised of how big the lunch portion was! I had to take some home! I was pleased with the service at Genki-ya and I recommend you to come here for lunch!
