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. Overall very solid high quality place, and would come back, but didn’t blow my mind. There is quite a long wait sometimes. We waited an hour and explored little Tokyo nearby while waiting which was really fun.
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 already! Luckily the restaurant was large enough to accommodate us all. Convenient paid parking right in front of the restaurant.
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, I can guarantee that you will definitely get your money's worth with the amazing quality and taste of the sushi.
