We really enjoyed this place, the food, and the service. The lady that served us was very nice and tentative. Also, although she gave us an appertizer we didn't order she took it off the bill while letting us keep the appertizer and still bringing out the one we order. We started with the octopus balls and shomai. We were also accidently given this potatoe like thing. The shomai was very good, the potatoe thing was crunchy but basically just a hashbrown but still tasty, and I didn't care for the octopus ball things but my girlfriend really liked them. As far as main dishes I got the spicy tonkotso ramen (I believe anyways) and added an extra egg. It was very good and filling. Had some to take home for a snack the next day. She ended up getting the chicken katsu rice bowl and really enjoyed it. She said it was nicely crispy and one of the best (if not the best) she's had. She also had enough for a bit of leftovers. Overall a great experience from both a food and service standpoint. Will be back.

Super good! We saw a movie in Oakley and my husband tried to take us to the Oakley Genki...but its not open yet. So we drove up to the original in Mason. Did Genki as our G in restaurant alphabet. We weren't super hungry so kept the order lighter. It's a smaller space maybe 5 or 6 two top tables and the other half is dedicated to the kitchen. Ordered curry flavored korokke. Super tasty! I'm a bit or a Japanese curry snob but I've never had curry flavored korokke and this was great. Would totally order again. My husband got the original tonkatsu ramen. We ordered an extra egg, not realize you actually only get half an egg for the $1.50. I feel like that was just slightly overpriced but that's more of a quibble. I got the spicy miso ramen. Super good flavor. I felt like the first bite had a nice kick but then it got less spicy. They're generous here with the noodles which is great. I do like broth though so next time I'd order extra broth and could easily get 2 meals from it. Overall 5 stars. Super fast food and service. After tip for 2 ramen bowls, 2 extra eggs and the korokke we netted out at $45. We'll be back and bring the kids next time although we'll probably aim for the Oakley location since it looks like they have mote seating.
