4 out of 5 stars only because the atmosphere is a bit off-putting for someone coming in for the first time. They have several tables put together across the room, cutting the room in half. So there is limited seating, but this layout lends a hand to faster service and a more personal experience. The service is 10/10 and the food will have you doing a happy dance. I had the fried chicken don and was really impressed with how tender the chicken was with a satisfying thin crispy layer. The rice was perfect and the sauce had been drizzled over top and settling in the bottom, allowing me to mix the rice and chicken into it as much or little as I wanted. I don't regret anything about this meal. I don't need a fancy dining room when the food is this good.

This place has the best udon! It was really delicious when I came here for lunch. If you do take out, they package everything really tight so nothing will spill. Highly recommend trying this place!

The folks at Gen Kai were nice and very helpful when I told them I was gluten free. They made delicious GF ramen for me! It's right next to Talin Market, too. Great space, although a bit small, but again the food was delicious!

They serve authentic Okinawan dishes here in Albuquerque! Food taste wonderful.

Tiny, but mighty! This gem NEVER disappoints. Go to favorite is the chicken katsu bento box with tempura veggies. So absolutely delicious. You will find yourself craving the crunch of the chicken! Everything is superb, but be prepared to enjoy your meal and go, as the seating is in very short supply (counter-style arrangement, 7 seats).

This place is so good we had to come here twice on our one week trip! First time I got the bento box with chicken and my partner got a bowl. It was so good and so flavorful. The chicken was crispy and juicy, sushi was fresh, soup was flavorful, and salad was fresh. Second time we both got the shoyu ramen, mine with a garlic bomb and my partners was with chili oil. The pork in the ramen was so delicious and the garlic bomb was so flavorful. My partner wished his was hotter on the spicy level but he likes his food to burn a lot. Either way he would get it again because of the flavor. This place is so good and the employees are so nice and attentive.

Amazing food. I will always come back when I am in town. My personal favorite is chicken katsu curry and salmon sashimi.

Great vegan options! The vegan ramen was delicious with a lovely creamy broth. There is minimal seating in the restaurant, it’s mostly for take-out.

The lady and the cook are Japanese so the food definitely tastes like food you’d find in Japan. They’re only doing takeout right now because of an issue with the building. Definitely give them your business. The green tea boba tea is really good—actually Japanese green tea, not fake imitation green tea like 90% of American products. The gyouza, pork katsu curry, and miso soup were absolutely delicious. めっちゃうまい！

Really great food and service. A generous diversity of authentic Japanese cuisine. The bento boxes are a great value for money deal if you’re looking to try a few things. The owner / host is just so lovely, welcoming and helpful and ready to help you navigate your order. The sushi choices are also excellent and fresh. Even the miso soup at the beginning was some of the best we’ve had anywhere. This place has a small dine-in area and a thriving take out business too. It came highly recommended (from patrons of its old and now new locations) and I agree with them 110%.
