Sushi Gen is a well-known restaurant that serves high-quality sushi at a reasonable price. While there may be a wait for a table, it is considered worthwhile for dishes like sashimi deluxe, fresh water eel (unagidon), bluefin tuna, uni, fatty tuna, and the yellowtail scallion roll. Customers have praised the buttery salmon and sweet scallops, highlighting how well the scallion pairs with the fish. The experience is enhanced by sitting at the bar, where the service is quick and efficient. Daily specials, such as live octopus and baby squid, are worth asking about.
Many visitors recommend coming on a weekday night to avoid long waits. The restaurant is recognized for its professional staff, who ensure attentive service. Although the prices can be on the higher side, many believe the quality justifies the cost. Diners appreciate the focus on fresh, authentic sushi without elaborate rolls or sauces, allowing the true essence of the fish to shine. Despite the crowded conditions, Sushi Gen remains a classic choice for sushi lovers in LA, offering a great variety at what many consider throwback prices.
