Genki Sushi Singapore operates a total of 21 outlets island-wide, with more planned. The chain focuses on Kaiten (revolving) sushi, a concept pioneered by founder Fumio Saito, and prides itself on offering quality, contemporary Japanese cuisine at excellent value.
The story of Genki Sushi began in December 1968, when a 24-year-old Japanese sushi chef, Fumio Saito, created the concept of 'Kaiten Sushi,' pioneering the use of a revolving conveyor belt to serve sushi. Genki Sushi Co. Ltd was established in 1990 and listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange in 1991, before expanding internationally from 1992 onward into markets including Singapore, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Kuwait, the Philippines, China, Australia, Cambodia, Thailand, and Hawaii. Singapore re-introduced Genki Sushi at Orchard Central in 2011 as the first sushi restaurant in the country to operate the 'Kousoku Express' system — the first Kousoku Genki outside Japan.
Dining at Genki Sushi Singapore is built around this Kousoku Train system, which delivers food to diners via a speedy double-rail system, integrated with a BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) ordering system for a distinctive, unconventional dining experience. The kitchen uses 100% premium Japanese rice for its Shari, imported directly from Japan; vinegar from Gifu Prefecture, specially formulated for Singapore; and premium Shoyu from a producer with a 200-year history.
Genki Sushi's story starts in December 1968, when a 24-year-old Japanese sushi chef named Fumio Saito dreamed up a modern sushi restaurant with an unusual feature: a 'Kaiten,' or revolving, conveyor belt to serve sushi. It was a way of combining traditional sushi craft with modern technology, and the idea quickly became a household name across Japan.
Genki Sushi Co. Ltd was formally established in 1990 and listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange the following year, having built public support through its dedication to freshness. From 1992, the company began expanding internationally, and today Genki Sushi has outlets across Singapore, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Kuwait, the Philippines, China, Australia, Cambodia, Thailand, and Hawaii.
In 2011, Genki Sushi was re-introduced to Singapore at Orchard Central, becoming the first sushi restaurant in the country to operate and deliver sushi via the 'Kousoku Express' system — a wireless touch-screen ordering panel paired with a speedy double-rail delivery system. This made Singapore's outlet the first 'Kousoku' Genki location outside Japan. Today, Genki Sushi Singapore operates a total of 21 outlets island-wide, with more on the way.
Dining at Genki Sushi is built around its Kousoku Train system, which intelligently delivers food straight to diners' tables. It's paired with a BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) ordering system, letting guests order directly from their own phones — a combination the brand describes as a truly unique, unconventional dining experience, and one that keeps regulars coming back.
Genki Sushi pays close attention to its core ingredients. The Shari (rice) is 100% premium Japanese rice, imported directly from Japan for its texture and fragrance. The Su (vinegar) comes from Gifu Prefecture, specially formulated to bring out the right balance of flavours for Singapore's palate. And the Shoyu (soy sauce) is a premium product from a producer with 200 years of history.
The menu is organised into categories including Dai Man Zoku, Nigiri Sushi, Aburi Sushi (seared sushi), Gunkan, Roll & Handroll, Sashimi, Appetiser, Sides, Rice & Noodles, Dessert, and Takeaway Sushi Platters — giving diners a full spread from raw sashimi to cooked rice and noodle dishes, plus dedicated takeaway options.
Genki Sushi Singapore offers islandwide delivery, letting customers order their sushi, sashimi, and donburi cravings from home, with delivery also available through foodpanda and GrabFood. The brand also runs a membership programme with its own terms and conditions, alongside regular promotions such as seasonal menus and lunch sets.
Genki Sushi Singapore is also expanding its team, with full-time and part-time positions available across kitchen and service roles — no experience necessary. Perks mentioned include career advancement opportunities, on-the-job training, medical and dental benefits, meal allowances, and sales incentives, with salary commensurate based on experience.
