Genki Living in Irvine, the Japanese crepe joint that was actually owned by Taiwanese, has closed.
It started offering their crepes, both savory (ham and cheese) and sweet (Nutella and banana), sometime around two years ago. I liked their takoyaki, in all their octopusiness. And they also made two kinds of okonomiyaki there.
But truth be told, the last time I actually ate something there was…sometime around two years ago.
Now the only Genki Living left in O.C. is the one in Garden Grove.
Before becoming an award-winning restaurant critic for OC Weekly in 2007, Edwin Goei went by the alias “elmomonster” on his blog Monster Munching, in which he once wrote a whole review in haiku.
