Easy 5 stars. Genuinely some of the best sushi I’ve ever had. Everything was incredibly fresh, and I loved that the dishes weren’t overloaded with sauces or unnecessary toppings, the quality of the fish really spoke for itself.
The salmon was buttery and melted in your mouth, the eel was warm, rich and perfectly glazed, and even the cucumber salad was ridiculously good. And if you go, definitely try the fatty tuna, highly recommend it!

Great place to eat regular sushi, making it a regular routine.
Blown out of the water with the quality, freshness and taste of this sushi seeing as it’s so affordable. Walked in no wait on a Wednesday night. I ordered the premium sushi and my friend the sashimi dinner. It was a ton of food! Each bite getting better and better until you were lost in this sushi heaven. 10/10 can’t wait to return .

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.
