One of our favorite places to eat in Tokyo with the kids is HamaZushi, where the sushi is served on a conveyor belt and the entire ordering process is automated. Our boys love how interactive ordering is, plus you can make your own green tea, and the quality of sushi is OK. I'm happy that Genki Sushi opened in the metro with a similar automated concept, with the sushi served via cute trains straight from the kitchen. Here's our review of Genki Sushi Philippines... .phOperating Hours: Sunday to Thursday: 11:00 am-10:00 pm, Friday and Saturday: 11:00 am-11:00 pm Note: Credit Cards accepted You order via a touchscreen (Note: all orders are final). It can get a bit overwhelming if it's your first time. Genki Sushi menu: Sushi (P60), Sushi (P80), Sushi (P200) | Sushi (P120), Sushi (P150), Sashimi | Side Order, Rice/Noodle, Appetizer ★ Chuka Wakame (P130) Our favorite seaweed appetizer--healthy, tasty, and even the kids love it.
Fried Tofu Skin (P60) A cheaper appetizer option that is a kid-pleaser. ★ Steamed Egg Custard (P120) We ordered this for Baby Yugi, which he enjoyed throughout our meal. My wife's favorite, but I'm not really a fan it to begin with. Important Note: Children under 7 years of age are not allowed to sit in the inner area of the booth. ★ Salmon Sashimi (P200) The salmon was good but the quality of the sashimi was just OK. ★ Spicy Salmon (P80) One of my favorites for a tasty and satisfying sushi option. Fried Chicken Gunkan (P60) I'm not a fan of fried stuff. You get what you pay for with this sushi. The boys loved this, but the tempura was a bit small and not as crunchy. You can make your own green tea by putting green tea powder in your cup and adding hot water. The pickled ginger is also fun to eat. Use this to cleanse your palate in between bites. The boys were empowered to order. It's like dinner time was turned into a game for them.
Our favorite sushi on the menu! Stack your small plates and check these against the bill as each one corresponds to the price of the sushi/sashimi.
jiro dreams of sushi release date dvd Overall, a fun experience to eat with the kids. The quality of sushi and sashimi is just OK, but the automated ordering process makes this Japanese fast food a worthwhile destination. Start off with the Chuka Wakame, Steamed Egg Custard, and Green Tea. We recommend following with the Salmon Sashimi, Spicy Salmon Sushi, and the River Eel Sushi. Stay away from the fried stuff as much as possible. End with Chicken Teriyaki Don, Black Pepper Chicken Don, and Chirashi Sushi. For dessert, I suggest going to Family Mart on the ground floor for some soft ice cream. Live an Awesome Life, Disclosure: We paid for our meal.

Sakae Sushi is a restaurant chain from Singapore that specialises in affordable Japanese food served to diners via a kaiten (conveyor belt).1 Since the opening of its first outlet in 1997, the chain boasts over 100 outlets across Singapore, China, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam, the United States and Japan.2 Sakae Sushi is the brainchild of entrepreneur Douglas Foo.3BackgroundIn 1996, Douglas Foo set up the company Apex-Pal to enter the garment business trade. However, due to strong competition from low-cost garment factories from China, Foo went in search for a new business model. Eventually, Foo decided to set up a Japanese restaurant that offered quality sushi and other Japanese dishes at affordable prices.4Foo set up his first sushi outlet, which he named Sakae Sushi (sakae meaning “growth” in Japanese5), in OUB Centre at Raffles Place in 1997 during the the Asian financial crisis.6 It was an immediate success as customers were attracted by Sakae’s affordable and simple price structure.
It was also a novelty in Singapore at the time to have dishes served on a conveyor belt.7ExpansionSakae’s popularity prompted the opening of a second outlet in the Heeren mall on Orchard Road in 1998, and a third one at Wheelock Place, also in Orchard, the following year.8 Foo had initially planned for six Sakae outlets for the Singapore market, but he soon saw the potential for expansion to suburban areas, and to turn Sakae into a major food franchise – to be “the McDonalds of sushi”.9 The first Sakae heartland outlet was opened in Eastpoint Mall in 2000 and this was followed by the first overseas branch in Indonesia in 2001.10By 2006, there were 31 Sakae outlets in Singapore and another 12 in Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, the Philippines and China. Net profit was S$3.7 million with a revenue of S$51.9 million.11 This spectacular growth had come about without bank borrowings, with Sakae’s expansion financed initially through Foo’s savings, then by earnings and capital gained from the company’s public listing.12 In 2008, Sakae opened its first outlet in the United States at the Chrysler Building in New York.13 Today, there are over 200 Sakae outlets worldwide.14Sakae expanded by growing the number of company-owned outlets and through franchising.
Foo also created a portfolio of brands such as Sakae Teppanyaki, Hei Sushi, Senjyu, Crepes & Cream, Kyo and Nouvelle Events. But Sakae Sushi remains the core of Apex-Pal.15When the global economic crisis struck in 2008 and Sakae found its margins squeezed by higher prices for commodities such as rice, the company froze wages and cut executive pay but decided against mass staff layoffs. A profit of S$2.3 million in 2007 was followed by a net loss of S$3.8 million in 2008 due to increasing costs of rental, salary and commodities. To counter this, Sakae introduced cost-cutting measures such as sourcing for new food suppliers, minimising waste and tightening other operational practices.16 The company returned to profitability in 2009, posting a S$3.3 million profit on a revenue of S$88.8 million.17Use of technologyThe use of technology in food preparation and serving has been a signature mode of operation for Sakae Sushi.18 To ensure that Sakae’s food is of a consistent quality across the chain
, ingredients are prepared at a central kitchen and sushi rice rolling machines are installed in every outlet.19In Sakae outlets, each table is equipped with a hot-water tap for tea refills and a computerised menu by which diners can view and order items. This electronic ordering system has been patented by Sakae, as has its portable conveyor belt system, which also won Spring Singapore’s Innovation of the Year Award in 2003.20Public listingIn 2003, Sakae’s parent company Apex-Pal was listed on the Singapore Stock Exchange. Apex-Pal’s food businesses, of which Sakae is the flagship brand, represented over 95 percent of the company’s revenue.21 In August, Apex-Pal’s initial public offering (IPO) set out 16.5 million shares, 836,000 of which were for public investors and the rest for institutional investors, clients and company employees. The former was 916 times subscribed, which made it the highest share subscription rate in Singapore at the time. Overall, the IPO was 47.4 times subscribed.22The IPO brought in about S$3.4 million, which helped to finance the opening of new Sakae outlets (and other brands within Apex-Pal) and was used as working capital.23 The parent company was renamed Sakae Holdings Ltd in 2010.24Authors Alvin Chua & Lim Tin SengReferences1.
