SUSHI BAR

This is the best sushi place in town by far and is a must go for avid sushi eaters! The fish is so fresh and it has to be because of the volume that they got through, On Any Given night it is shoulder-to-shoulder at the bar call though there's probably no less than 25 to 30 seats. There are maybe 7 to 8 chefs behind the counter at all times so it's not much of a wait to get the item you ordered. The chefs are very attentive and are constantly aware and when you need to order more sushi! More often than not they have delicacies like live sweet shrimp and Toro Sushi which are my favorite. The dining room is also a pretty decent size with more personal booths if you're into that kind of thing and there are many things on the menu for non Sushi eaters as well. If you plan on going between Thursday and Saturday make sure you make a reservation or you might have to wait 30 or more minutes. Never had a bad experience and I've been frequenting for close to 20 years. The price is average.

One of the exclusive restaurant the food is excellent the service is first class

Whenever I visit my family in Dana Point, they know where to take me: Gen Kai. I've even got the t-shirt. All of the chefs are very talented, and I have been to many Michelin star sushi joints. Would prefer this place over many of those.

6/7/21 For was great and portion was perfect. I actually ordered more then I should have and had to take home

The place is nothing fancy but you can't judge the book by its cover. Food was very good. Not the best I have ever had but pretty good. Fish was very fresh and pretty good size portions. To me good rice and proportion to the fish is just as important as sushi itself and that didn't disappoint at all. I can't remember the name of tuna fish we got that was peppered and had a smokey flavor was my favorite dish. Kids loved their caterpillar roll. We'll be back for sure.
