Genji Japanese Restaurant — Restaurant in Oakland

GInza serves reasonably good sushi at good prices near Jack London square. My friend and I dined here with our buddy from San Francisco. The basic spicy tuna roll was good, their Double Double roll was good if not great. My friend chriashi was pretty good but again not a stand out. I liked this place and would go back. Alas, I've yet to find an East Bay sushi place that can compete with what you get at Ebisu, Warakbune, Eiji, or many of the other sushi places in the City. So I would not go out of my way to eat here. I also noted that like many East Bay and Sacramento sushi places Ginza relies on a lot of fried rolls...you can certainly get away from those here but I've taken to use the number of fried rolls on offer as a barometer of overall quality...more fried = less likely to be truly...

Think of the part last time you ate teriyaki...dried chicken with a bunch of gross sauce. This place perplexed me... the chicken and shrimp are perfectly cooked, with just enough sauce. The care in the prep is beyond anything you'd expect for what you'd think is a simple dish. I honestly can't think of another place that makes food this juicy, and with care. It's been on my weekly lunch rotation for a reason. Shame it's in a dead city bc you can tell they care when restaurants around them only care to...

My favorite lunch spot. Very healthy, fresh food. Portions are perfect for me as it never makes me feel bloated. Delicious shrimp teriyaki and their miso soup is amazing. This is not a sushi restaurant - I've seen some people mistake it for one. They serve teriyaki bento plates with rice, protein, small cucumber vinegar salad and edamame. It fills me up for the day. Owned by the very sweet and nice husband and wife (chef and cashier). The line cooks are also super nice guys. Love this...
