06/16/2007: "Genki Sushi"
One of my ABSOLUTE favorite foods in the world is spicy tuna. There are many places that serve it, but there is only one place that I could never do without. Genki Sushi, I'm not sure of the status of the restaurant in the nation or even in Japan, but they serve the best spicy tuna I have ever tasted. Enough with the jabbering and on to the slobbering...
Genki Sushi's Mascot? What's the word for that...Click for more pictures!
A picture of their Chicken Karaage ($2.60 USD), which really is Japanese style Fried Chicken. The crust is a bit salty (in a good way!) so it goes perfectly with freshly squeezed lemon.
Their vegetable croquette ($1.40 USD), always a favorite. Tonkatsu sauce is drizzled on top.
A close-up picture of the beautiful croquette, this is the only way I will eat peas!
A dish of their fresh salmon sushi ($2.60 USD). Genki is one of the best places to get fresh salmon sushi, I don't know how to explain it, but other places seem to serve not so fresh pieces of the fish.
Finally! A shot for the win! Spicy Tuna ($2.00 USD)...
Never hurts to get a close up...Genki Sushi is definitely one of the most popular sushi joints here in Hawaii. Each location gets EXTREMELY crowded during meal times, but I say it's worth the wait. Although, I usually go during the off-peak hours to get my fix. Pearlridge also has a great drive-through option which I have definitely taken advantage of.

Thanks for the great comments! And thanks plaid_knight for the insight on the characters! And Steve, it's a fight not to go to Genki every single day.

Mascot characters are called maskotto kera. If someone has drawn a face using punctuation marks ( ^_^, ;_;, O_o, etc.) it's called kaomoji.
