I just had a revelation after having the Gen ramen. The pork belly was buttery and savory and the egg was perfection.Their agedashi tofu always hits the spot for a cold winter night.

It was my first time at Gen and it will not be the last. The customer service was amazing everyone was very welcoming and the food was delicious. I had the nabeyaki udon and my partner had the curry chicken cutlet these two dishes will not disappoint you!

Delivery is completely over priced and underwhelming. $20 for katsu without rice, almost $10 for carrot and burdock salad that is almost entirely green lettuce. A total rip off.

This is hands down one of my favorite Japanese restaurants in NYC (which I'm biased because I live very near by). Everything I've eaten here has been excellent, and all of the sushi/sashimi is reasonably priced for what you're getting.I think I've been here about 8 times so far over the last 2 years, and it's always been a good meal.

I used to go to Gen a lot; it was one of our favorite sushi restaurants. The food, atmosphere, and staff were all great. However, that Gen is gone now. The new manager is annoying, the staff looks unhappy, and the music is terrible. I was considering going back again, but after reading the reviews, it seems like things are just getting worse. It's a shame that the new ownership is allowing racism and discrimination. If anyone has witnessed racism or harassment within this restaurant including employees, please make a report. This is illegal and should not be tolerated.

COMPLETELY IGNORED… after being sat right after white family the restaurant and they completely ignored us . The family before us already got their drinks and sushi while they didn’t check in with us at all. A white couple was sat 10 minutes after we were and within 5 minutes they’re orders were being taken. All three wait staff members passed us and said absolutely nothing. Don’t come here if you’re black.

Tried and true Japanese sushi bar with Japanese beer on draft, neighborhoody and usually quiet (when I go, early and during the week). I usually order a piece of broiled salmon over rice and a side of greens, like Japanese style broccoli. Very satisfying and reasonably priced.
My friend and I went here and saw unbelievably terrible service. The waiters here wasn’t friendly at all(No smile)and the food was terrible.We didn’t wanted to pay even 1cent here. We’ve never had service so bad will never go this place again and wouldn’t recommend it to anyone.

As a previous comment was stated about how the manager did nothing after an employee expressed she was being harassed by a coworker. I had to share on here that this isn’t a one time thing. I’ve come here a few times and noticed that the management here is horrible and disgusting. I overheard a manager firing his employee because of her race!!!! That poor girl has served me most of the times I’ve came into the restaurant and she did a great job and always made me and my friends laugh. A few months ago this restaurant looked very diverse and cheerful, and the ladies that served were so sweet and helpful. I guess a new staff has been hired and let me just say, it’s anything but diverse. You can tell that the new employees have no experience and are very blank and quiet. Whoever is in charge here needs to take a hard look around. I do not support racism and I will not be coming back here.

Gen is my only claimable regular-ish spot, because they actually make it delicious AND affordable! 30 dollar seven-piece omakase? Fresh fish that never misses?? Perfect low key vibe for a weeknight relaxed meal or solo at the counter. service is always friendly. Love pulling up to this spot and highly advocate for it so it thrives as it deserves.
