"My wife and I love to eat here because of the quality and authenticity of the food. We just moved to the area and have not had one single meal here that we did not absolutely love. All the Chinese is perfectly authentic, as is the Thai and Japanese and it's hard to believe that they got it all right in the same place, but they did. We write a lot of reviews on here and we strongly encourage you to give them a try because you'll always go back. Also, the prices are modest enough to lend themselves to take out via door dash or similar. We love to dine in, but when we can't, we take out! If you give this place a try, we believe you'll be loyal customers just like us. It's just great :"

"I’ve been ordering delivery from here for years as it is not far from my house. Even though it says vegetarian, they are all vegan and use soy protein. They do have tofu dishes as well. It also has Japanese food so you can get miso soup and veggie sushi as well. I have never eaten inside, but maybe one day I will. Love this place!"

"I love to acknowledge great service. Nate (blonde) has waited on us twice during happy hour at the bar. He’s a lovely human and makes our visits to Hapa extra special. The other bartender and is also Nate and he seems great too. Sake is fantastic. Food is very good. Updating: still love this place for happy hour. Izzy is amazing too! She’s super sweet and attentive and really smart as well. Treat her well!"

"I should have read the reviews... my family went and the service was great first, then our server couldn't even tell us what came in our food. He had to go and get someone to help us. I asked for extra things in my food and I didn't even get it! My daughter loved her food, but the rams are rough and fat and when I asked not to pay for our food, the manager began to ignore me and grab the check and smile on our table..."

"My partner and I made reservations for Valentine's Day and were seated right away. We ordered starters, specifically the edamame and beef sashimi, both of which were delicious. For our main course, we chose two orders of the Rinderyakitori and Gohan, as well as the delightful roll (without the Tampa Bay sauce). Everything arrived promptly, except for the roll. I didn't think much of it since the restaurant was busy and we weren’t in a rush. When I inquired about the roll, the server assured me it would be out soon. Once we finished our meal, the manager came by, took our bill, and removed the roll from our order due to the delay, which we thought was very professional. We will definitely be returning!"

"We were visiting Tomball and Bloofin came up as one of a handful of dinner choices on Open Table. Being Asian Americans, and from California, we have pretty high standards for authentic Asian food, especially Japanese. I'll be honest, even with high reviews, I was skeptical being we were in a small Texas town. Needless to say, we were very happy with everything we ordered which included a Bloofin special sushi and sashimi combo, a yellowtail sashimi dish, and squid sansai. The seafood fried rice was really good and the sashimi was quite fresh and tasty, too! Interestingly, they had a unique and authentic dish I have never seen in Japanese American restaurants, before. Service was great and we were well taken care of by our server Jose! The owner even stopped by to check on us and we briefly spoke, on the way out. The space is decorated in mostly a contemporary flair with a touch of a few asian design cues in a very open space. Overall, a very pleasant and satisfying dining experience! We will definitely come back when visiting Tomball, again!"

"It took us about an hour and a half to receive our sushi rolls. We noticed that smaller tables of two were being served before us, even though we were a party of four. To make matters worse, there was a baby sitting behind us blasting "Baby Shark" from a cellphone, which was quite distracting. However, once our food finally arrived, it was, as usual, fantastic. It's just unfortunate that for a meal costing over $100, we had to endure such a long wait and loud noises. We have kids and understand they can be noisy, but there’s a certain level of consideration that should be observed regarding volume in a restaurant setting."

"A real gem in the neighborhood I wouldn't expect to find a decent sushi place. But, sushi here us amazing!!! The fish is very fresh and everything I've had here was absolutelly amazing. My favorite lunch place, gets crowded at night as locals know about it. Nit a fancy place and prices are in the mid-range, lunch runs at about $25-30 if you order sushi rolls. But they also have lunch combos for less. Give this place a try!!"

"Came here soon after they opened and there was no wait for seating. We ordered shrimp and veggie tempura, Naruto, salmon torch roll, and dynamite roll. Tempura: 5/5 It's probably one of the best I've had in MA. The batter is so light but yet is so crispy. You don't feel like you're eating a thick coating of batter nor does it taste oily at all. Naruto: 5/5 this was so refreshing to eat with the slight tang of the sauce and thin cucumber wrapping Salmon torch roll: 5/5 I loved this, it was so good! I didn't even need to dip it in any soy sauce or wasabi Dynamite:4/5 still very good, but felt like it was a lot of sauce when you bite into each piece. Love the slight crunch of the outside rice. Service is decent, our waters were filled, and they took empty dishes away promptly before the next dish came. Definitely will come back to try more items on the menu!"

"The restaurant is gorgeous. The aesthetics are beautiful the moment you walk in. The service is good. We had a waiter on a Thursday night who was very knowledgeable about the entire food menu which was awesome. The food itself was a bit over priced and didn’t equate to the taste or worth. The sushi was delicious and fresh. The whole fish lacked flavor. The prawns are cooked perfectly and are juicy but for the price, not enough. Love the complimentary chips with sweet sauces and a horse-radish-like sauce. The hot tea is fantastic. The best thing about this place is the fried duck appetizers aka the dim sum."

"They were out of boba on a Saturday at lunch. Bummer. There was something frozen in my daughters ice cube, ew. I sent my kid out to the car to get me the tea I had in the car. However USUALLY it’s pretty darn good. We brought a friends daughter here to try sushi and boba for the first so it was an adventure."

"I always order Uber Eats from this restaurant because it's conveniently located close to me. The food is always hot and the portions are generous. There is a good variety of dishes to choose from. Unfortunately, I have to deduct stars because they recently removed sushi from their menu on Uber Eats. I used to enjoy pairing sushi with Chinese food, so I haven't been ordering from here as frequently. I will consider giving them 5 stars again once they update their online menu."

"I left the restaurant still hungry due to the small portion sizes. While the atmosphere was upscale, the flavors were lacking. The lamb chops were overcooked and quite bland—they looked appealing but didn’t justify the cost. On a positive note, the mac and cheese was excellent. My mom used to say, "You can't eat ambiance.""

"I was quite surprised at how busy this place was on a Thursday night around 8pm. It was literally 100 degrees outside and we walked in thinking we could easily cool off inside, but unfortunately the inside was still pretty warm. Their AC was probably working as hard as it could, but with all of the bodies in there, plus the insane heat outside, I don 't think it could keep up. Our server(s? did an amazing job of refilling our water glasses which really helped us out a lot over our course of our meal most definitely. Onto the food: we ordered 4 different rolls, from the regular to the signature maki as well as a beef tataki. We also ordered a cocktail each. The beef tataki was a perfect cold appetizer that we both really enjoyed to start off. I 'm not personally sure if I 've ever had that specifically before anywhere so I can 't really say how authentic or if the quality of it is on par with what it normally should, but we really really liked it! Onto the rolls I 'm kind of indifferent on them. I think they were all decent, but that 's as far as I would go. I 'd say the Dynamite was the best one out of all the ones we ordered. I don 't think I 'd go out of my way to come back to this place based on the taste and quality of the sushi, but if I 'm in the area, I think it 's solid. It 's just not the *best* sushi I 've ever had. I 'd definitely want to try other things such as Udon for example!"

"this place has been well over a decade. it was always a fixed place for the standard vegan sushi (vegan roll, avocado roll, etc). about a year or so before, they added the vegan hulk roll that is good. they have different other items that are either vegan, or can be vegan modified: sticky frits, edamame, edamame hummus, miso suppe, ano solitary, mixed vegetables, and sautéed spade (used to spinat, but the change to spade). hibachi fried rice can be made vegan, just don't forget to leave the eggs. they can also be veganized soba or udon nude dishes. this CWE location is an ideal place to hang out, especially during warmer weather months. Note that there was a recent price hike, with some directed jumps up to $8 more!"

"It was New Year's Eve, and the waiter was very polite and friendly. However, it seemed that the kitchen wasn't quite ready for the rush that comes with the holiday. We waited 15 minutes for our cocktails and then an hour and 15 minutes for our dinner, which consisted of two entrees and a side. Unfortunately, the salmon was overcooked, dry, and not what we ordered. The eggplant was tasty, but the steamed bok choy lacked flavor. Overall, despite the issues with the meal, we had a decent experience. We were just happy to have a couple of hours to catch up without interruptions. In the end, we still enjoyed a wonderful New Year's Eve."

"Genki Ya is the best restaurant in Davis Square! Very healthy and affordable food. I lived near Little Tokyo in Los Angeles for decades and was elected to the local neighborhood council in the district. I haven't had Japanese food that's this good since I left Los Angeles. I especially love the broccoli (the sauce is very unique) and the salmon (perfectly cooked crispy outside and tender inside). Quiet and relaxing environment with Hawaiian style music playing all the time. Extremely kind, compassionate and friendly owner and staff. The broccoli salad is amazing and after I eat the sashi mi my brain almost always works better. Elaine (I Ling), Paul, and everyone else at Genki Ya always treat me like a friend and a neighbor not just like a customer passing through. Genki Ya is my favorite restaurant in the neighborhood and I plan to keep coming here whenever I am in the area!"

"Be prepared because this might be a long review. Okay, me and my family of 7 adults and 4 children came in to celebrate my sister 's birthday. We asked them if they do all you can eat and they said yes. Okay, cool. We all sit down and we agree to the AYCE and begin ordering. We order about 5 plates of sushi and 1 order of fried rice for the kids. Next thing you know our server brings 4 plates of dumplings and a couple of bowls of edamame. We tell her, we didnt order it and she said its on the house from chef. We were confused but said okay. She then comes with more plates of dumplings and we ask her to stop because we didn 't order it. We sat there waiting for our sushi and it took about 35 minutes to bring out our 1 plate. 15 minutes later, the next one came. Because of how slow the service was, we made a big order for the next one so we dont have to keep waiting. The next order came aftee 30 minutes again. We were trying not to complain because we saw they were short staffed. And then we ordered again. As my brother was walking out with my sister, the head of the restaurant told them that because of us, they have to shut down the restaurant because they can 't serve all of us. He even told next time you guys come, we will have to deny you guys because of how many you guys are! Wait what? DISCRIMINATION! My older brother and sister gave him a piece of our mind and he did not apologize. He just shrugged and acted like we were the problem. But hold up, I didnt add the other petty things this man did. When he came around the table, i tried to be courteous and gather the plates and stack it for him and he goes Can you please not stack that? Because its hard for me to take it? And then when my sister lifted her glass for him to take to refill, he told her please put it on the table and then ill take it This asian man, looks like the head or manager of the restaurant was giving off this weird racist vibes since we got there. The fact he even blamed us that they have t9 close the restaurant because of our orders just shows how incompetent they are to run a business. Oh btw, we were the only family there for a good 2 hours so I dont know why it took so long for them to make our sushi. Please don 't go to this restaurant especially if you are of color. Just horrible!!!"
