Genki Sushi

Frommer's Review

Taking advantage of Hong Kong's surge in popularity of everything Japanese, this simple and always-crowded establishment offers plates of sushi, which circle around the counter via a conveyor belt. Customers, seated at the counter, simply reach out and take whatever they want. The color-coded plates vary in price and include traditional selections such as tuna and shrimp sushi, along with more unusual combinations like corn sushi, crab salad sushi, and California handrolls (seaweed rolled around rice, crab, and avocado). During lunch and dinner, there's often a line of customers waiting at the door (when I don't want to wait, I go straight inside and order takeout to bring back to my hotel). While the food is too generic to pass in Japan, this place is as good as it gets for rock-bottom sushi prices in Hong Kong.
