Genki Omakase sits on LaGuardia Place in Manhattan, serving Edomae-style sushi at the counter. Chefs Jay and Brian run the kitchen together, and the menu is built around an omakase format that changes with available ingredients rather than a fixed nightly script.
The restaurant falls into the Affordable price tier, with the omakase category listed as Counter Only, Under $150. Service runs in two seatings each day, lunch from 12:00 to 15:00 and dinner from 17:00 to 23:00, seven days a week, so there's flexibility for both midday and evening bookings.
Genki Omakase also operates a second location, referred to as Genki East, which has its own separate reservation page. Both locations take bookings through Resy, and reservation links are tied to specific dates and party sizes rather than a general waitlist.
The restaurant is reachable by phone at (347) 618-2866 for questions that fall outside of online booking, such as large groups or specific timing requests. As with most counter-seat omakase formats, seating is limited and turns over by reservation slot rather than open walk-in seating, though walk-in availability should be confirmed directly with the restaurant.
