Mietta's Review
Once Yamagen, it is now known as Genkai but not much has changed. Beautifully designed and expensive. Happy meals (earlybird) at the teppanyaki bar are good value. Separate sushi bar. Regarded by the locals as Cairns' best Japanese restaurant.
Other published opinions
Courier Mail Food and Wine Guide 2009 Queensland Score: 13/20 "As authentic a Japanese as you'ttQet without stepping onto an international flight. Genkai - which means divine ocean - offers extensive menus in two separate sections devoted to Teppanyaki and a la carte dining"
Courier Mail food and wine guide Queensland 2008 Score: 13/20 "Green slate floors and shoji screens set the cool and elegant scene as you take your place at a secluded table n this most Japanese of Cairns' Japanese restaurants"
