Genki Sushi, Westlake Village

So, the sushi chef/owners aren't Japanese. (Not necessarily a bad thing -- many good sushi bars in SoCal nowadays are owned and operated by Koreans.) As for Genki, however, the sushi was just average. Except for the toro -- it was stringy. The chef wasn't friendly (nary a smile from him the entire time we were there -- to us or to other patrons) and that dampened our dining experience. This isn't a place for the true sushi connoisseur.

They should be listed under Korean, Not Japanese restaurants. Korean ribs were good, but none of the sushi.

This is the place my family goes to when we want Japanese food. The fish is fresh and their special rolls are always beautiful to look at as well as delicious to eat. Even my 5 year-old loves their caterpillar roll and always asks for it. As a family with small children, we really appreciate the friendly service and the way they accomodate us.
