The Boston Hospitality and Tourism Industry Blog is reporting that Genki Ya is planning to open on Tremont Street in the city's Theatre District, taking over the space where Shanghai Restaurant had been. Once it opens, the new eatery will join locations in Brookline, Cambridge, and Dedham and will feature sushi and Japanese entrees made using organic ingredients.
[May 30 update: Eater Boston states that the new Genki Ya in the Theatre District is now open.]
Our sister site (Boston's Hidden Restaurants) has reviewed the original Genki Ya in Brookline, saying that it is a little-known spot to check out for Japanese fare. The review for it can be found below:
