This place is to die for. Might be one of the most delicious things I’ve ever eaten in my life. I ordered #17 Beef Sukiyaki savory crepe and added chashu and salmon. It was heaven.

Cute shop with lots of Asian snacks and goodies that are probably overpriced. The crepe was crispy and good but the ice cream flavors selection was pretty limited.

I was craving for crepes since I tried the one at Packing House in LA. So I tried to find a good crepes like that. My boyfriend took me to Genki Crepes. It was a small place in a Mini-Mart. The crepes is made fresh and yummy. Quick service and hot crepes for the cold weatherSweet, fresh fruits and tasty crepes!Gotta come back any try more!

Loooved the crepes here! I got both sweet and savory, and both were excellent. My savory crepe was smoked salmon, and the sweet one was strawberries and whipped cream. My partner got the beef crepe, which we thought was a little too saucy and lacking in ingredients other than beef. It’s also really fun to walk around and shop for snacks and just browse the market while you’re waiting!

I got a crepe with banana, caramel, and custard. The crepe itself was very crunchy, dry and lacked flavor. The banana inside was extremely unripe and left me with a bitter aftertaste. There was very little custard and it didnt taste like much of anything. Im not sure if any caramel was added because I didnt taste or see any.Also, the employees making the crepes were not wearing gloves so their bare hands were touching a lot of different surfaces in addition to the crepes they were making.

Truly wonderful dessert! Great options for crepes, made fresh to order, you can customize a little bit based off your ice cream and fruits. I ended up doing a sweet crepe, minimum $10 for credit card, but you can always buy some Asian candy/snacks as part of the mini mart! Highly recommended way to spend up to $10, some unique snacks, some you can get at other Asian grocery stores.

We got the black sesame egg puff waffle and it was really tasty. The crepe was very disappointing. It was more of a hard, crunchy shell that fell apart as it was eaten.

I used to come here often when I was younger and always loved getting their crepes. Im glad to know this place is going strong and has gained a lot of popularity. Their crepes are always great, with lots of fresh fruit and ingredients. They have a wide variety of options, with savory crepes and egg puffs as well. Inside is a mini-mart with lots of fun snacks and other items inside. It can get pretty crowded, but service is really fast. They always make the crepes and egg puffs fresh, but Ive never waited long here. Theres only a few benches to sit on inside, so be prepared to stand or take it to go!

This place carries a great selection of Asian products that are not always easy to find. We also had a freshly made egg puff from here, which turned out to be pretty tasty. Judging by the number of people indulging in crepes on the seating provided, the place looks fairly popular.

I always love genki crepes crepe. I want none of that sogginess from japantown crepes... The flavors/variety here are good and the quality is generous! What more can you ask for? The only thing that gets me scrambling is if I am getting a crepe for myself, you need to have cash. (Credit card min at $10)

Review №18

Underwhelming. They put very little filling so youre just eating a crispy crepe. If you like that then youll enjoy it. For me it was disappointing and wasnt worth the wait.

Review №29

Definitely a different take on crepes...so dont expect a soft crepe with cream cheese like you would traditionally...but rather like an ice cream cone. They are delicious and have a plethora of combinations, whether its ice cream, or a hot filling. Regardless...take a chance and try em out. Im sure you wont be disappointed!!

It’s exactly what it sounds like. A Crepes shop and a mini mart, in the same 30ft.The mart has most of the more popular asian products.I ordered a Cheesecake and Chocolate Crepe, apparently one of the most popular ones, and I wasn’t impressed. The crepe itself wasn’t a good balance of soft and crunchy. The dollop of ice cream on one side and the cheesecake on the other, inside the cone that the crepe was rolled into, made it hard to enjoy the three things together. I ended up having to use a spoon to eat the ice cream and biting into the dryness of the crepe and cheesecake together.I like my crepes put together and easy to eat.

Genki is a local and tourist favorite for many reasons. Genki recently received a perfect health score and has a renovated interior. Its extensive menu and endless choices make it a go-to spot. The crepes are made right in front of you and are always cooked well. Genki also offers a market in the back with snacks, drinks, beauty products, and more. Prices are good for the mini mart, but are going up for the crepes and shakes. This is still a highly recommended and popular spot.

Sweet crepes are good. However I have ordered the savory crepes with avocado a few times now and the avocados are always old/brown. I understand if it happens once but not that many times.

Review №33

One of my favorite place to get a crepe!!! My personal favorite the savory crepe with beef sukiyaki green onion and cheese. There are always people buying cribs there but the wait time is not too long. Call you the market inside is pretty interesting. They have a lot of Japanese important goods: Snacks, little toys, makeup, skin care items.

This place is fire. Opened late and really good crepes. Crispy exterior with nicely sweet fruit mango ice cream? Yes for sure. And Ive drive out to here with friends on multiple occasions just to get the crepes

Review №35

Peanut butter egg puffs. Eat fresh when it is crunchy on the borders and doughy in the middle. Saw tiny bits of peanut. Good flavor. 4.75 plus tax. Not too sweet. I think they perfected it. 3.25 for a scoop of ice cream. Asian snacks and drinks. Bench to sit inside. Unless you want to brave the cold outside.

Sometimes there could be a line but it moves fast! Great service, good variety of ice creams, fruit, and other toppings, this is a great place to go for a quick bite or for a quick sweet fix. Love the blueberry cheese cake or the mango ice cream with fresh strawberries. For savory, cant go wrong with ham and cheese. Yummy!!

Review №40

Such a yummy treat. I wish I had bought 2. I am not into crepes and last time I was there, did not want one, but then I tried my husbands and was so mad at myself for not getting one. Its not the usual crepe. Its crunch and soft at the same time. The crepe itself tasted like a fortune cookie to me. Everything stays together from the first to last bite. Genius idea and delicious! I had the mixed fruit (fresh mangos, strawberries and bananas)with cream. Delicious!!!! The store is cool too. Full of Asian treats. It also has a bathroom, which is rare in SF!!!!!

Ive had many crepes here and never had a bad one. They have ice cream, savory and snack crepes. Definitely something for everyone!One of my favorite crepes is the chicken, green onion, cheese and sweet chili sauce crepes. Everything works well with each other!There is a long bench inside and outside for sitting. Id recommend getting a crepe and walking up and down Clement street looking at the shops.During the summertime this place can be busy in the evenings.

Ive been coming here since at least 2012. I love frequenting this place, and I love introducing friends here. In a city of excessive attempts to making glorious desserts, Genki keeps it simple and familiar - fruit, cream, and sauce, wrapped in a thin, but crispy crepe.Genki is an easy option for dessert, because with so many combinations, one is bound to match your cravings. My favorite is getting a strawberries and whip cream crepe with an added scoop of ice cream occasionally.Though theres sometimes a line, it moves fast, and the staff works efficiently to get your order ready for you. Parking can be a struggle on high traffic days, so bus or Uber if possible.Tucked away a street or two over from Geary, I like that its located on a street thats a little quieter. When I come here, I am reminded what I love about San Francisco.

I love this place. The crepes are huge for the price you pay. Compared to the smaller crepes you can get at the mall or at any other fancy restaurant, these crepes are far worth it. They have a large variety including sweet or savory crepes as well as other desserts. I would recommend going here.

Review №50

I love Genki crepes!!!! They lots of crepe choices and its so delicious!! There are usually different kinds of crepes such as really soft crepes or kind of like a waffle cone crepe. The crepes are are like that waffle cone texture which it makes it so delicious. Very big in portions and lots of different options to put in the crepe. Besides being a crepe store, this is also a little mini japanese supermarket for all your Japanese needs. :)

Whenever I get a hankering for a crepe I come here. It is probably one of the most exotic crepe places Ive been to. It has a lot of foreign products. Im not really sure if its Chinese, Japanese, or Korean. The crepes are reasonably priced.

Review №53

I love coming here when I have a sweet tooth. Although they are more known for their selection of crepes, waffles, and ice cream, its also a mini mart so they have sodas, juice, chips, and other drinks and candies. When Im here I usually order a sweet crepe. This place is in a central place on Clement with other local shops and restaurants. Nice place to stop by for dessert.

The ingredients are fresh, the service good and the wait time for your food, not long at all. I just wish they had more beverage options. Genki Crepes in a nice neighborhood as well on Clement St. I recommend #18, which is a savory crepe (chicken, oinions, cheddar cheese, mushrooms and chili sauce) so delicioso!!

Review №57

Nutella, strawberry ice cream, and banana slices in a crunchy crepe... life is good! The price seemed reasonable and they stuff them full. I was there on a Thursday night and while there wasnt ever an actual line, there was a constant influx of people ordering. I can just imagine how incredibly busy they get on weekends. Eat it with a spoon at first and then squash it down a bit later and take glorious crepe bites.

Dont go here and expect normal, soft crepes. These are more like the texture of a cracker. Maybe it is good with ice cream, but we got butter/sugar crepes and they just tasted burnt.

Review №62

My family and I have been coming here for years. Our usual routine is to get in line, order and then browse the mini mart for unique snacks and items. This was the spot where EVERYONE went for their matcha green tea kit Kat fix! Now almost all Asian grocery stores sell these KitKats.

Review №63

Lots of different savory and dessert crepes to chose from! You can also construct your own crepes using the different ingredients listed on the menu. My favorite crepes (from the menu) are the strawberry/nutella/vanilla ice cream crepe and the beef sukiyaki crepe. While you wait for your crepe, go explore the rest of the store! Youll find snacks, drinks, cosmetics, and accessories you wont find anywhere else!

I love their selection of drinks and Japanese snacks and candy. Im not too much of a crepe person, but I enjoy ordering ice cream and milk tea. They use half and half in their milk teas, and its a little to heavy sometimes for me.

Crepes with cheesecake and ice cream. Need I say more?[Ok, maybe I need to say more.]Cute neighborhood convenience store with decidedly Asian-influenced product selection. The reason to visit though, is to nosh on their crepes (both sweet and savory). My favorite is the one that comes with both slices of cheesecake and a big scoop of chocolate ice cream. Wow.Theres often a line and not very much room to sit / hang out inside. But hey, its San Francisco, so youre probably wearing enough layers anyway to sit outside.

Review №77

I found this little gem back in 2007 and every so often I take local friends to this place if we happen to have dinner in the area. Reasons why I love this place?! Well, for starters, it’s a little store that sells just about everything you can imagine= endless sorts of amusement. Dried crabs that are salty and sweet, anyone? Japanese kid toys, key chains, stickers? My favorite thing about this place crepe place is that you can add ice cream into your crepe...leaving you with a super large dessert spilling/melting all over the place for you to enjoy as you walk out the door.

Review №84

I love this cute little market. The crepes are delicious, and a good size for the price you get. I love nutella, so its always a must on my crepe, as well as strawberries. There is usually a line, even at 9pm at night, so be prepared to wait in the line (which does move fast!). There isnt much seating, so it might not be a great place for a date, but maybe a good place to stop for dessert to walk around. The rest of the store has yummy Asian snacks, including green tea kit kats!
