Pretty solid and high quality sushi place. If you’re looking for bang for your buck, the sashimi dinner gives you quite a lot for its price. The yellowtail collar was pretty nice, very tender even upon reheating. Chirashi was a nice mix of a lot of different foods with nice sushi rice underneath. Ov
Recommended by a Japanese friend, Sushi Gen was the best sushi we had in LA so far. Doesn’t have the strong flavor of all sorts of sauces, they let the quality and freshness of the pieces speak. We got there 10 minutes before the restaurant opened and there was a long line of roughly 50 parties alre
Omakase style sushi is something that I am very picky with. Thank God Sushi Gen delivered!!! This Little Tokyo restaurant highly favored by many is considered as an LA special and I'm so glad that I gave it a try since I'm so loyal to their neighbor, Hama Sushi. Though it is on the more pricey side,
The sushi was some of the freshest in DTLA. The presentation isn’t flashy like many upscale sushi places but thats because they put emphasis on authenticity and quality. A little expensive but not many restaurants can match this level. Friendly chef. Some reviews do say staff are not the nicest but
After hearing that Sushi Gen was one of the best sushi spots in Lil Tokyo, we had to come check it out. We arrived early and got in very smoothly once the restaurant opened. The waiting staff were nice and welcoming.
The atmosphere is small but very cosy. Our dishes came out quick!
The sashimi din
Best sashimi in town. We have been coming to this restaurant for decades now. Our families and extended family all come here periodically. Relatives coming from out of town, it’s a must stop whenever they are back to Los Angeles.
I was glad to visit this legendary place. I miss this old school style sushi restaurant. They charged a la carte reasonable and honest. Strong recommended.
One of my go-to spots for sushi in DTLA near little Tokyo. Fish and seafood are generally fresh with high quality. Sushi deluxe and sashimi deluxe are good options for sharing among large parties. Like the uni (urchin) and scallob sushi for sure. Oysters are fresh but small, eel over rich is in huge
Best sushi restaurant in Little Tokyo and my favorite sushi restaurant in LA. This place is super popular so be prepared to wait. They do not take reservations. Show up early for first seating or else you will be waiting for at least a hour. They have a huge sushi bar and also some table seating. Se
Authentic sushi and sashimi place with good pricing. Bigger portion and better quality with lower price than most other sushi places. Great vibe, too. By the way, "Gen" in Sushi Gen is read like "ghen," not "jen." I like this place a lot, but if I were to nit-pick, the 6 dollar parking and the 1 mai
Waited about half an hour to get seated which was not bad at all. Asked the waitress what menu people usually get. She said it was sashimi lunch and it was mostly tuna. Not a big fan of tuna so I ordered premium sushi instead. Everything including tuna was fresh and yummy that made me want to try sa
Very good place to eat sushi in LA. There is always a lane of people waiting before the opening hours. Chefs at the counter are very professional. Prices are decent.
Very fresh and nice sashimi.
Dipping the salmon into the sauce with spring onion in it make it taste even more flavorful .
We arrived around 6:45pm, there was ady a queue. Went in around 7pm , and food were served within 15-20 minutes .
Ordered a small hot house sake for $5, which is much cheape
If I could give this place more stars, I would in a heartbeat. I'm not a fan of crazy expensive, dimly lit, upscale sushi restaurants and loved how approachable this little spot was. I sat at the bar and ordered a la carte. I savored every single piece--perfect rice seasoning and fish thickness--and
Best sushi I've had! The service is fast, the fish is fresh and the atmosphere is spot on! Sushi masters behind the counter to watch. The wait for sushi bar is way less of a wait than getting a table but at the bar you can only order sushi. If you get a table get the sashami platter. We sat at the b
Overrated IMHO. Sushi quality was ok but not spectacular. Lunch menu is priced ok esp for lunch. Not sure why people line up at 10:30am for just ok sushi. Perhaps the sushi bar is better. Not sure why the toro with scallion was minced. Service was just ok. Our server was not very responsive to quest
Came here for lunch & ordered the deluxe sushi set. High quality fish at affordable prices.
It's perfect either over 20 years ago or now what meals we taste . We love to be here for fresh sashimi and sushi. And also their service is pretty well.
I recently dined at this Japanese restaurant, and it was an exquisite experience from start to finish. The service was impeccable; the staff was attentive and knowledgeable, guiding us through the menu with expertise. The food was a culinary masterpiece, with each dish bursting with flavor and artfu
