Genji Express - Chapel Hill

Box of the Month is disappointing. Fish on the sushi does not smell an encouraging sign but both tuna and salmon sushi are very fishy passing the back of my nose. The rice is too dense and not enough vinegar. I know it is a review during covid AND it is offered through a grocery store, Whole Foods, but this deserves a solid 2 stars.

This rating is for sushi, not for ramen. We ordered through UberEats, thinking we were getting restaurant sushi. Our immediate response on seeing the packaging was This looks like supermarket sushi (pre printed labels on each container etc. . When we felt how the cold the sushi was, clearly having sat in a fridge for hours, our concern heightened. And when we then tasted, our take was BAD supermarket sushi (though, to be fair, we are not experts in supermarket sushi . If you already know (as we now do that this is a store within Whole Foods, then all this may be beside the point. And maybe you like supermarket sushi, or think our rating unfair relative to other supermarket sushi. But wanted to be sure to get the word out to anyone checking the place out for delivery orders am quite sure they can do better.

Recently found Genji (in the back corner of Whole Foods) for the first time, and it is outstanding. Courteous service that is very nice, and appreciated, but even more impressive: the bowl of Spicy Vegetable Ramen. Delicious! I just finished my second helping (couldn't eat it all in one sitting) and can't wait to go back for more. Yum, yum, yum!

The food was excellent, and there was a fantastic variety to choose from. The staff were all very friendly, and the prices were quite reasonable. My only suggestion is that I would have been a bit confused about how to order if I hadn't gone with friends who were familiar with the menu. Overall, I would rate the food a solid 5 out of 5.

As someone else mentioned, the restaurant is named "Genji Ramen," yet they don't actually serve ramen.
