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.

The best sushi place ever! Our family favorite restaurant. Fresh and tasty. They have the best sushi burrito.

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.

Excellent! The service from start to finish was honest and friendly. The sushi, specialty rolls, and hand rolls were nicely presented and tasted clean and fresh. The pop-up shrimp and spicy tuna specialty roll was especially good. If I am back in the area I will definitely come back.

Best octopus I have ever had. Excellent experience unfortunately you can't drink with the chefs anymore.
