Dinner for 2 with no alcohol is over $150.00, but they have great lunch specials the food is fresh & delicious

you appreciate sushi but never click your heals when you leave the dinner. Gen Kai is not fancy but try to get in any evening.

Otherwise, service pretty good, all the kids liked their Miso soups and Edemame. WARNING: They are... More

We have been enjoying Gen Kai for many years. It changed hands a few years back but they still have a great menu. Go early and try the A or B Special. They have cut it down a bit but the same price for over 10 years
