Genki Sushi is such a fun restaurant! You order on a touchscreen, and the sushi arrives on a kind of train - a fun twist on the usual kaiten sushi style.
There's a great choice of fish and vegetarian nigiri, maki, gunkan and sides, including edamame and desserts. It's great value, and while it's not restaurant quality, it's our favourite of the cheap sushi places we've been to in Tokyo.

Your videos are always sooo good!
Thanks so much! I spend a lot of time on them, so it's great to know you enjoy them! :-)
More futuristic than even your typical yo!
I heard that with the pandemic, Yo Sushi are introducing this style of conveyor belt so you can order to your place with less contact - not sure if it's going to be in all their restaurants or just a few!
Nice video! Shows how limited sushi is in Japan for veggies, but it is possible! Btw, If you go to a place that allows custom orders, you could try asking for an avocado roll too, just be sure to ask without shrimp as that'll be the default! (basically just lettuce and avocado)
Yes - not many places have avocado on the menu at all, but if they do, the sushi's usually made to order so I'm sure they could do that.
Great video for the first-timers who will visit this sushi store. Thank you for showing us how to order and how to pay for the meals.
Thanks, glad you found it useful! It's a fun place to visit :-)
I went to a sushi conveyor belt restaurant once near Washington DC, it's nothing compared to this one but it was still really cool seeing all the sushi going around!! (the sushi was really good too!!)
It's fun isn't it! :-) They should serve more types of food on conveyor belts - tapas would be perfect!!
Cakes with Faces omg yes!!!!!!! that would be awesome!!!!
Your videos are so good! I'm a vegetarian planning my first trip to Tokyo in November, your channel has been so helpful so far! Thank you 👍👍
Aww thank you, that's great to hear! I'd definitely recommend planning a list of places to eat, it makes it so much less stressful when you're there! Have an amazing time! :-D
Cakes with Faces I will do! thank you 🤗
Very detailed and lovely video. Thanks, I was looking for a video like this.
Glad you enjoyed it! Lots more about Japan on my channel :-)
You should pop over to Taipei. We have a fully vegetarian conveyer belt sushi restaurant as well as 2 fully vegetarian Japanese ramen places along with 1000 other vegetarian restaurants.
Sounds great! I've never been to Taiwan, but I'd love to explore more of Asia.
Great video and myself and wife agreed we are visiting this place as it looks great food as well as fun , superb videos all the best
It's lots of fun, great choice and so much cheaper than Yo Sushi! :-)
Basically i have to jealously watch your videos until november aand hope it doesn't drive me mad before my trip XD
Aww enjoying planning your trip! It'll be worth the wait when you get there!
Thank you for this video, and the map! I'll be there in under 3 weeks so I'm going to visit this place as it looks very cool and yummy...
You'll love it! Lots of fun and really cheap. Have a great trip!! :-D
@@cakeswithfaces , thank you so much, I'm so excited I am literally counting the hours. Fabulous hair by the way!!
@@HelloKitty-ed5cy Thank yous! ☆ ～('▽^人)
Thanks for explaining standing outside & putting name on clipboard; I would have assumed it was a chaotic line & been waiting a long time :)
Haha you would have been waiting for a long time! It's a popular place so it can get quite busy!
Great video - brought back some good memories.
Good sushi memories! Such a fun place :-D
This was super helpful!! Thank you for posting this!
Ah how exciting!! You'll love it! If you have any questions I'm happy to help out if I can - Have a wonderful trip! ヽ(*⌒▽⌒*)ﾉ
Been there it's great and love sushi!!!!! Japan is so addictive!!!!
It's awesome isn't it? :-) No matter how many times I go to Japan I always want to go back!
Cakes with Faces very true I been over 16 times now also my wife is Japanese but I still love going back the food!!!!!! And all the changing things!!!! 👌
Wow amazing!! I've found that every time we go, you discover something new and you're a little bit braver to go into little places and try things you weren't sure about before.
Cakes with Faces yes I trust Japanese foods it's always fresh!!! Enjoy when u next go!!! 👍
Way yumm! I always over order and over eat...had to get a second job just so I could go back...total sushi addict! They didn't like it though when I started using the hot water at the table to bathe! I would like to follow you guys around as you eat things...maybe beg off some scraps...great video!
Wife came home with sushi from m and s for our first ever taste , conclusion is we loved the sushi without the seaweed wrapped around it , found with out the seaweed it was lovely but of course in japan so much better so will have another go . Thanks again
The seaweed can be a bit tough on lunchbox sushi - it starts off crispy then absorbs the moisture from the rice, so if you get a chance to try it when it's just been made, you might like that better. (The best is when you make your own!) :-)
Genki Sushi is found in most places in the city I live in
Really, which country is that? None here in the UK - we have Yo Sushi but it's much more expensive (and no touchscreens)
That place looks so cool! :D
It's lots of fun! And a great sushi feast! ＼(＾▽＾)／
Cakes with Faces I will definitely go there in October! :D
I have it on my list to visit this location! Did they seat you at your table or did you have to take a number from a touchscreen (like sushiro)?
Ooh, I see now! Thanks for a great video!
You tell the person how many people are in your group, and they put your name on a clipboard, then call you in. There's another branch (basically the same, with the same menu and touchscreens) also in Shibuya, called Uobei Sushi, and in that one you join a queue inside. Enjoy!
Cakes with Faces Ahh, thank you for the info Uobei Sushi! I didn’t know about that one. :)
They're virtually the same, and will probably both have queues! :-)
great Video
Thanks!! (≧◡≦)
Girl, Love your hair! I used to have the pink hair, till I shaved it all off.
Thanks! It's rainbow at the moment! :-)
I have amazing news! I'm going to Tokyo in October!!! My dad finally agreed to a whole week because we found some pretty cheap flights and I could not be happier! Do you know any hidden cute places? :DD
Fantastic, you must be so excited! And October's a perfect time to go - that's when I went last! :-) There are lots of cute character shops in Tokyo Station - follow signs to Characters Street (aka First Avenue) and there's lots to explore! If you want to go to the Studio Ghibli museum, book early as it sells out. The Alice in Wonderland cafes are amazing if you like theme cafes. You can visit the shrine from Love Live (Kanda Shrine) - it's a short walk from Akihabara. You certainly won't be short of things to do! :-)
There's the Q-pot cafe in Harajuku and Kiddyland as well. Akiba has the girl's animate (this is the big one that is six stories), the Tokyo Anime center, the Kanda Shrine, and the Akiba Gatchapon Kaikan. There's a lot of stuff to do just in Tokyo but JNTO (Japanese National Tourist Organization) has a lot of info of things to do within Japan.
Glad that you get to go to Japan in October. I'm going early September myself with a friend for two weeks. :3
Thank you very much for the suggestions! I'm extremely excited to finally be going, I was definitely planning to go to an Alice cafe because I love theme cafes! I hope you enjoy your trip too yorokopi1 ^-^.
That's a great list! Have a wonderful trip! ٩(◕‿◕)۶
Wow! Very interesting!
We have Genki Sushi in Hawaii too
Wow, I had no idea there was one there! :-)
@@napomahinakuk4435 I heard Hawaii has a lot of Japanese influence?
I'm American sooo its just called $ its way more expensive then sushi where u live is like 100$ :-:
Sushi here in the UK is really expensive too! And not as good or fresh as even cheap sushi in Japan!
Wahhh can't wait to try this place out when I go Japan! But I noticed you didn't play the rock paper scissors game on the touch screen like last time...is that not a feature anymore?
You'll love it! They've changed it slightly; it's a sushi roulette game now, and you get it if you order a dessert (definitely an incentive!). We went twice & I filmed it so might be in a future video (if that's not Genki Sushi OD!)
Man, I could myself blowing a lot of money in a place like that. :D
COULD YOU help me me and my partner are looking to do 1 week in tokyo and a weeks somewhere else for 7 days in tokyo what 7 things would you suggest needs to be done in 7 days?
It depends what you're interested in; I'd always spend a day each in Akihabara & Harajuku (inc Yoyogi Park); Nakano Broadway's good if you like buying anime figures; Senso-Ji in Asakusa; SkyTree; Odaiba (you can get a really cool boat called the Himiko between Odaiba & Asakusa/SkyTree area); Studio Ghibli Museum (+ Inokashira Park); Disney Sea if you're into Disney parks; maybe a day trip to Hakone & Mount Fuji. Videos of most of them on my channel! :-) Plus eat as much Japanese food as possible!!
When you go with another person or group do they order from their own screen/ tablet or is there like one the whole group can use?
Each person gets a little clipboard with the number of their ipad. When you pay, you give them all the clipboards in a bundle so they know you want to pay together. So you can pay separately or in any combination you want to :-)
Interesting interface. It would be compelling to explore the world of advertising as well.
Yes, I'm sure there are lots of interesting things to discover if you look into it!
Cakes with Faces 😑
Is the green tea just a free addition?
Yes, it's free for everyone on the table! :-) There are other drinks on the menu if you want them too :-)
Didn't get a chance to try this one out, wondering did you try Uobei? its owned by Genki Sushi except the prices are around 108 Yen, has the same touch screen, interface
No, I'd heard of their sister restaurant and it was on my list of places to eat but not made it there yet! I'm guessing it's quite similar.
Unfortunately i didn't know about Genki Sushi, but going by your video, it looks pretty much similar.
Uobei is much better, has more items and has better prices, and is literally only 3 minutes away from the Genki Sushi location in Shibuya
Ah I tried that one last time, loved it! There was still a queue but I think it's slightly less well known! :-)
Genki Sushi is a Singaporean company. That's why there's so many weird varieties, English heavy menus, and not-so-fresh fish. There are a ton of them in Singapore and it's really bad sushi there. I suppose with Japanese employees, it'll be a bit better in Japan. They opened up an outlet near Times Square in New York City but if failed because of all the poor reviews. Nonetheless, you'll be smart to avoid Genki Sushi, anywhere.
Sorry to hear about that. Obviously it's a cheap place, so it's high quality like at a proper restaurant, but I've always enjoyed the Shibuya branch as a fun place to go.
I'm Japanese, and 元気寿司(Genki Sushi) is Japanese company that was established in 1979 by Fumio Saito, and their headquarters are in 栃木(Tochigi). I never been there, but menu looks same as tons of other sushi chain restaurants in Japan such as ｽｼﾛー or かっぱ寿司. As she said, it not the best quality sushi restaurant, but fish looks fresh and looks alright. They are in business for about 40 years, so it shouldn't be that bad.
GENKI SUSHI
SO GOOD!
Wow!! So cheap... I could eat my bodyweight in sushi and my bill usually ends up being £40 or £50 for two in Yo!Sushi or even the little family run sushi restaurant near me!
Yes! Always feel I have to hold back at restaurants in the UK because it would break the bank (>﹏
This Genki sushi is gone!
Yes! But Uobei Sushi's still open (run by the same company and also in Shibuya). I'm thinking Genki might re-open when tourists are allowed back to Japan as it was so popular.
To bad you cant watch them making your sushi selection. Maybe there's a reason they don't want you to watch....makes me worry about sanitation and food handling procedures. How many times have you ate there and came home running for the toilet?
I imagine it's pretty busy in the kitchen as they have so many orders to prepare! I've been there quite a few times and it's always been fine. Not heard of anyone else have any problems either.
The best sushi I ever had in Japan was a small shop inside a Seiyu Department Store in Fussa, Japan. Only the locals knew it existed...and I liked it that way!!! That was way back when the yen rate was 350 yen to the dollar. I really enjoyed the Japanese people, the culture and the sushi and electronics. I spent the entire 4 year enlistment tour there and hope to make it back one day.
If a place is somewhere that locals go, you know it's good! Sounds amazing!
Sushi with Coke？How about fish Chips with shots of Scotch?
I believe it was a melon soda - we don't have it in the UK so I drink it whenever I can! And if people want fish and chips with scotch, I say go for it! (≧◡≦)
So cheap
Unbelievable isn't it! Obviously not as high quality as fancy sushi restaurants, but out of the cheap sushi places we went to, this was the fav!
very disappointing video......
Sorry you didn't enjoy it! :-( Admittedly this is one of my older videos now...
eeeeeewwwww that hair
Fun place... but the sushi is really bad and cheap. AVOID
