Genki Sushi Singapore is a Japanese kaiten (revolving) sushi restaurant chain, operating a total of 21 outlets island-wide, with more to come. The kaiten sushi concept was pioneered in December 1968 by then 24-year-old Japanese sushi chef Fumio Saito, who created the idea of serving sushi via a revolving conveyor belt, combining tradition with modern technology.
Genki Sushi Co. Ltd was established in 1990 and listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange in 1991. The brand expanded internationally from 1992, with outlets now found in Singapore, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Kuwait, the Philippines, China, Australia, Cambodia, Thailand and Hawaii. In 2011, Singapore reintroduced Genki Sushi at Orchard Central as the first sushi restaurant in the country to operate via the 'Kousoku Express' system - and the first 'Kousoku' Genki outside Japan.
Dining at Genki Sushi Singapore centres on a Kousoku Train system that delivers food to diners' tables, integrated with a BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) ordering system for a distinctive, unconventional dining experience. The brand's mission is to bring an authentic and professional sushi dining experience, offering a range of value-for-money sushi without compromising on quality, built on premium ingredients including 100% Japanese rice, Gifu Prefecture vinegar, and shoyu from a producer with a 200-year history.
Genki Sushi's menu spans Dai Man Zoku, Nigiri Sushi, Aburi (seared) Sushi, Gunkan, Roll & Handroll, Sashimi, Appetisers, Sides, Rice & Noodles, Dessert, and Takeaway Sushi Platters. The chain offers islandwide delivery directly, as well as through foodpanda and GrabFood.
The story of Genki Sushi began in 1968 with the vision of Fumio Saito, a 24-year-old Japanese sushi chef who dreamed of creating a modern sushi restaurant with an unusual feature: a 'Kaiten,' or revolving, conveyor belt. In December 1968, Saito pioneered the concept of Kaiten Sushi, combining traditional sushi-making with the modern technology of a revolving conveyor belt to serve diners.
Kaiten sushi quickly became a household name across Japan. Genki Sushi Co. Ltd was formally established in 1990, and by 1991 the company was listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange. Backed by a dedication to freshness, Genki Sushi expanded steadily throughout Japan before moving into the international arena in 1992, eventually opening outlets in Singapore, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Kuwait, the Philippines, China, Australia, Cambodia, Thailand and Hawaii.
In 2008, Genki Sushi launched the first 'Kousoku Express' store in Japan, aimed at delivering orders to customers in the freshest and fastest way possible. Singapore followed in 2011, when Genki Sushi reopened at Orchard Central as the first sushi restaurant in the country to operate and deliver sushi via the Kousoku Express system - and the first 'Kousoku' Genki location outside Japan. The system lets customers order their favourite sushi through a wireless touch-screen panel, with orders arriving via a speedy double rail system.
Today, Genki Sushi Singapore operates a total of 21 outlets island-wide, with more planned. Dining at Genki Sushi centres on a Kousoku Train system that intelligently delivers food to diners at their tables, integrated with a BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) ordering system - a combination that makes the experience genuinely unconventional compared to a typical restaurant visit.
Genki Sushi's mission is to bring customers an authentic and professional sushi dining experience, with a wide range of value-for-money sushi that doesn't compromise on quality. That commitment shows in the ingredients: Shari, the sushi rice, is 100% premium Japanese rice directly imported from Japan, prized for its exceptional texture and fragrance. Su, the vinegar, comes from Gifu Prefecture and is specially formulated to suit Singaporean tastes. Shoyu, the soy sauce, is a premium product from a producer with a 200-year history.
Genki Sushi's menu is organised into distinct categories: Dai Man Zoku, Nigiri Sushi, Aburi (seared) Sushi, Gunkan, Roll & Handroll, Sashimi, Appetisers, Sides, Rice & Noodles, Dessert, and Takeaway Sushi Platters - giving diners a broad spread of options whether they're eating in or ordering to go.
Beyond dining in, Genki Sushi Singapore offers islandwide delivery directly, as well as through foodpanda and GrabFood, letting customers enjoy sushi, sashimi and donburi at home.
