Editorial Review for Sushi Gen – by Citysearch Editors
In Short
Located in a Little Tokyo strip mall, this down-to-business sushi house knows that it's the fresh fish--not the dated mahogany paneling and blue-and-white striped curtains--that packs 'em in. As guests come and go, good-natured chefs bellow (in Japanese, of course) "hello" and "goodbye" from behind the sushi bar. Sushi and sashimi are the main draws, like Spanish mackerel topped with green onions and ponzu. Teriyaki and tempura dishes are also available for patrons who prefer cooked dishes.

My boy mentioned this place to me a few times and finally took me there. It was his first time going there too. It was a week night and the place was crowded. They sat us immediately at the sushi bar as we had requested. We got "Omakase style" and we were truly satisfied with everything the sushi chef served us. We love uni and I have to really give this place 5 stars for the delicious uni that they have. All of sushi there is amazing. We left there oh so satisfied. If I could give this place 10 stars, I would. That is how good it is. From the service to the food. Yum yummy yum.
Pros: Parking, Service, Delicious and Fresh sushi
Cons: none

We finally tried this hidden jewel in Little Tokyo. When we arrived, there was a long wait, but we were told it was always like that. Once we sat for dinner, everything was smooth sailing. Everything we had was amazing besides the miso soup. The fish was so fresh and cut perfectly. I'm jonesing to go back as I'm writing this review. Yum!
Pros: fresh fish, solid food
Cons: long wait
