Top Rated Local® is pleased to announce that Genki Sushi is a 2019 award winner for restaurants in North Carolina!

For delicious food and an unbeatable dining experience in Wilmington, choose Genki Sushi.

Genki Sushi has received more than 1,200 reviews on six verified sites with an average rating of 4.82 stars, earning them a phenomenal Rating Score™ of 98.19 and a 2019 Top Rated Local award for ranking among the top 10 restaurants in all of North Carolina!

Here’s just one of their many five-star reviews:

“We are from out of state and planned our first night in town around coming in here, and even made reservations to be sure. We found this place by accident the last time we vacationed in Wilmington, and we knew this would bring us back. Everyone here is so friendly and clearly love the place, and it shows in all they do. The food is amazing. The caramels are so yummy, and it is such a great kickoff to our vacation. Thank you!!” – Jennica W.

Not Your Average Restaurant

Lana Ke, the owner of Genki Sushi, generously gave us a few minutes of her time to tell us about her award-winning business and its stand-out online reputation.

The first question we had for Lana was what sets Genki Sushi apart from the many other restaurants in North Carolina. Lana told us that they offer top-of-the-line quality — they even turned away tuna last week because it wasn’t up to par — and that they have a strong team that works well together and is always willing to go above and beyond.

Lana went on to say that, above all, Genki Sushi is competing with itself.

We also wanted to know what their mission is at Genki Sushi and how they work to make the world a better place. Here’s Lana’s response:

“[Our mission is to] treat every customer like family. Customers are the reason why we are there. Don’t waiver off the path of where you see yourself, and stay strong.”

Building Success With an Incredible Staff

Lana attributes Genki Sushi’s strong online reputation to their incredible staff:

“Everyone has been around for a long time because of great initial training. We’re always striving to do better. We have good communication around goals. The team is the family of the restaurant.”

Outside of building a powerful online reputation, Genki Sushi hasn’t done much in the way of advertising to get their name out there. Instead, they simply focus on providing service at its best, pleasing everyone and establishing a rapport with their customers, which has led to word of mouth and repeat customers.

There are so many business owners looking to build the kind of online reputation Genki Sushi has. Here’s Lana’s expert advice for them:

“Be there all the time. Stay positive. Hire like-minded people who care about the business. Don’t stray from quality. You must be consistent.”


Congratulations to the team at Genki Sushi for being a 2019 Top Rated Local award winner, and thank you so much, Lana, for taking the time to speak with us!

We highly recommend Genki Sushi in Wilmington. Visit their website today!
