Genki Sushi
Orchard Central
Orchard, Singapore
August 2012

Merlion Wayfarer visits OC regularly, and has been to various restaurants there. So far, she had not tried Genki Sushi because of the looooong queues there. Apparently Genki Sushi seemed to be the only eatery in OC that diners have to queue - Seats are guaranteed in the other eateries, at times some of the restaurants look sadly empty too.

Well, Merlion Wayfarer did not know how or what Genki Sushi was like, except that it was just another "conveyor belt sushi restaurant". So when the queue was really short (only one group in front), she decided to risk her stomach and join the queue.

And she was really amused when she finally realized why - The conveyor belt beside her table was more than a single lane conveyor belt. Instead, it was a full three lanes of a food dispensing system!

Once the order has been placed on the iPad located at every table near the conveyor belt, the order will be sent to the kitchen. Confirmed orders cannot be cancelled. A few minutes later, the lights at each table will start blinking, and a car / train / space shuttle will arrive. No prizes for guessing what will be located on the vehicle!

Merlion Wayfarer ordered several kinds of Nigiri Sushi - One of which was the Flying Fish Roe. (Coz it sounded exotic mah.) Well, that was a real disappointment. Coz the rice was way too hard. And for the other Nigiris that were ordered, well, the rice fell apart as soon as each was dipped into the soya sauce! Bad bad bad skill...

The rest was just "normal". A surprising find was the Sea Eel Nigiri. It tasted almost like the freshwater version, just without the teriyaki sauce. Instead, a packet of sweet sauce was provided. It was also much more affordable than the freshwater version at S$5.80 instead of S$9.80.

Merlion Wayfarer finished off the meal with a mocha platter. The platter consisted of three fishball-sized mochis - black sesame, green tea with azuki, and peach. It was certainly a good way to top off the meal with a sweet treat!

Today, I decide to have lunch in this Japanese Restaurant. The restaurant is very high tech, using computer menu. The waiter will give you a brief that how to use the I Pad to make order? It is very simple and fast. Not even one minute I got my ordered meal.

I order the steamed egg custard. The steam eggs are soft, as soft as silky bean curd and on top spread with slices of Japanese mushroom, very delicious. The price is$2.30 per bowl.

Whenever i visit this japanese.restaurant, i will definitely order their miso soup. Their miso soup is towards the thicker version and is full of the natural sweetness from the smooth seaweed in it. Lots of cubes tau foo, also know as the smooth beancurd, are added in it which added that extra vitamin and good value to this simple soup. The portion is quite alright and good for one serving.

I am actually impressed with the technology they used there! You just need to order your food with the Ipad provided and the sushi u ordered will be delivered to you in minutes. Cool and Fast ! The only thing is that the time taken for the staff to approach to you is quite long. We had to wait for quite some time when we called for the bill.

After all, the sushi are quite cheap so we had been ordering the sushi non-stop. Of course, ended up my friends and I were quite full and there were actually some sushi wasted
We had fun ordering those sushi with Ipad too, which is quite rare to see this kind of technology in most of the sushi shops. and of course, Tamago is a definitely must order food for me as it is my all time favorite. But yet i don't really like the Tamago here. Salmon are fresh too. I did order Udon and yes, it tasted delicious. The choice might not seemed much, but it is really fun to see the sushi got delivered to you by the train

Heard about sushi is delivered by a small bullet train at Genki Sushi so my friend and I decided to make a trip down to try the food there. When we reached there, the waitress explained to us how are we going to order our food.

Basically, you need to order the food you want with an iPad 2 available in the restaurant for every table. Sushi and most of the add-ons are delivered via the bullet train which I feel excited about, while others are delivered manually by waiter/waitress. When the trains with food arrived on your table, just simply take the food with the plate out. And after you finish taking, press the yellow button above the table to send the bullet train back.

As for the food part, we ordered salmon don, unagi temaki, tamago sushi etc. The tastes are good, just that the salmon don is a little bit smaller. The sushi is delicious and worth the price.

Overall, the environment and service of the restaurant is good. The food is considered cheap but for a small portion. Even the sushi is smaller.

But they closed all restaurants about years back.

I was so happy to see Genki again at Orchard Central! Finally we went and tried the new restaurant. We sat at the counter seats the first time, and we really had fun ordering the food. This was the first time I see these service train working. I used to see this system at Tampopo restaurant, but I didn't see it working. We ordered our food through iPad and the food will be served by the train. Once we took down the food, we press a button to let the train go back. It was fun experience. I'm sure the kids will like it!


Now talking about the food... Oh my! it was so delicious! The chanwanmushi was so smooth and tasty, (not too salty or bland). We loved sushi rice, you can taste and feel the hnadmade texture and the sashimi were fresh! I love all the dishes we ordered!

How do you order Easy! There's ipad on each of the dining table! What a 'in' restaurant!

The food there is just so fresh! Ordered salmon and tuna sushi. They were soooo good! And the price is not bad as well, I spent $10-$11 to eat one bowl of rice plus 2 plates of sushi. This is pretty not bad for me, seeing how fresh the sushi are. Really happy!

So we ordered plenty of sushi and other stuff to enjoy seeing the 4-carriage train bring the food to you!!

1) Sushi - the Sushi items are generally quite good. Fresh and good flavor.

2) Miso Clam Soup - nice and generous with seaweed.

3) Potato Salad - I just love Jap potato salad! And theirs didn't disappoint.

I asked the cashier where are the other outlets and he replied that this is the only outlet so far and this is under a new management. So far so good, I actually am thinking of coming back again...soon, with my girls...they will SO LOVE the trains

Hehe since even we adults oso find it so fun


The technology aside, Genki sushi standard is still there, fresh & tasty.
We will be back for more.
