When I first read about Genki Sushi, that restaurant at the SM North Edsa that serves food riding on a "bullet train", the first words that came to my mind were
"fun" and "play". Only kids would think of those, I know, but hey,
it's good to be child-like and have fun once in a while.
It took me a long while before I actually made it to Genki Sushi since it reached Philippine shores from Japan in 2015 (if I'm not mistaken), but you know that popular adage: better late than never! It was in between Christmas shopping with my daughter earlier this December when we decided to have Japanese food for merienda and I thought of none other than Genki Sushi. Finally, "fun" and "play"! And it all started when we ordered food using the touchscreen monitor, up until we made our own green tea, and finally, using electronics again to view our bill and ask for our check.
The highlight of our visit, however, was in between, of course: excitedly waiting for the train carrying our orders to arrive. For once, something
beat the excitement of eating!

Our orders:
 |
| Shoyu Ramen, P250. My daughter loved this, saying the noodles itself was already flavorful and tasty. I had some and liked the savory broth, which was comforting to the tummy. |
 |
| Fried Maki Salmon, P160. We both raved over this -- luscious even to the eyes, and when you put it in your mouth -- an ensemble of delightful sapid flavors! On top of being savory-sweetish, it's spicy -- sure to titillate the taste buds! I could imagine it perking and lifting me up when I'm having the blues. Love, love, love! |
 |
| Norwegian Fresh Salmon Nigiri, P90. Loved how the salmon glided very smoothly on the tongue with a creamy, melt-in-the-mouth texture. Delish! I could eat salmon whether as sashimi or nigiri from breakfast till dinner and not complain! |
 |
| California Maki Roll, P160. Good, too, although not a standout.  That's green tea powder on the round container. Hot water runs on the faucet.  stir and voila! Your healthy cup of green tea is ready for drinking.

Needless to say, we enjoyed mealtime and yes, "playtime" at Genki Sushi. Haha! The electronic system of food ordering and having food delivered by cute trains spell fun! I imagine kids having more fun than me, so bring them over
and let them play at mealtime. :)
Happy eating!
