Sushi Gen Los Angeles Reviews
Best sushi in LA.
This is the traditional OG sushi style. Sashimi special is good. But please try Nigiri at sushi bar. Make me want to eat writing this review.

This place used to be one of my favorite sushi restaurants, but unfortunately, it's not what it once was. I can now think of quite a few spots, probably 10 to 20, that offer a better overall experience. I have visited with a group of friends du
Lives up to the hype! The Sashimi Lunch is incredible
Lives up to the hype! The Sashimi Lunch is incredible quality and value at $26. Such a fun experience dining in, but the food is just as good when ordered to-go. Can't wait to be back soon!

Hadn't been here like over 10 years so decided to pay them a visit on Saturday for lunch. Ate and drank over $300 by myself and pigged out on a array of great sushi and appetizers. The fish were all top notch and nice sized cuts. Definitely g

If you're wondering if you should try it or not, this is your sign to go. A neighborhood classic and loved by multigenerational locals. Plan accordingly for the wait time at lunch, and trust me when I say it's worth it. Check out the shops
This is a 5 star establishment.
I'd recommend coming for the lunch special and order the sashimi special. You can thank me later. The food was very fresh. Fish was super good and tasty and the service was excellent. It's very hard to eat sushi else where after trying this

Food- I ordered from their lunch menu Fresh Water eel.
It comes with rice, soup, pickle. Eel was soft, sweet, but there are some bones inside that I had to fish them out before eating. Eel was baked to perfection with right amount given for that price as listed on their menu. I also ordered salmon skin h

This is my first time when here and is a definitely very cozy symbol, but also amazing experience. The food especially the fish, of course is very fresh. There are some fishes that they don't have available, but they also offer other one for us.
Great food and service! Fav place in California.
Highly recommend! Delicious sushi in LA
The service was good.
The place is clean. The food is excellent. We ordered sashimi deluxe, premium sushi and some a la carte. This is our first time here, but luckily, we showed up right before they opened for dinner time. Everyone is already formed a line I think t
I was told Sushi Gen always has a line and I understand why.
Well deserved 5 star. Amazing quality of sashimi and fresh water eel. The lunch size was very filling. I love how they offer Kenzo estate wines, which was a great way to complement the meal. Ambiance is very traditional but also casual.
If you're in Little Tokyo, Sushi Gen is an absolute must
If you're in Little Tokyo, Sushi Gen is an absolute must for lunch. The quality of the sushi is incredible, especially at the price point--it honestly feels like you're getting fine dining for a casual lunch tab. Everything was super fresh,

Great food and service.
We went early to enjoy a relaxing dinner. It was very good... the sushi was great and the sake was good.

Came here again for my Birthday celebration and it did not disappoint. It's worth the waiting time. Sat at the bar section and even got served by one of my favorites chefs. Each piece was handcrafted to person. The right amount of flavor spr
We were there for lunch and the food came out pretty quick.
There waitresses are fast and they don't waste time on your table when you are not ready to order. Overall perfect lunch.
One of my favorite spots to get sushi in Little Tokyo.
Their sashimi lunch special is unbeatable. It's always fresh and great quality. Get there early because there's always a wait. It's a small restaurant so there's no frills. The service is quick to get you in and out quick. It'

THIS PLACE IS SO GOOD!!! Service, food, ambiance 5/5! I wish they had a reservation list tho... had to wait in line 30 mins before it opened, but was one of the first to get seated!
Goated spot.
There are no reservations so we waited about 1.5 hours to get a table. You can get a seat quicker by sitting at the sushi bar. The sashimi deluxe platter was insane! My favorite was all the different cuts of tuna. All of them were clean tasting and t

I arrived at sushi gen (on a weekday) 15 minutes after opening and there was already a long line. Thankfully I was able to get seated after 15-20 minutes of waiting because I was a smaller party. I ate at sushi gen for lunch and the food was amazing.

* The Fatty Tuna sushi was practically melting with how soft it was - the temperature it was served at allowed the flavor to be ideally savored; the Egg sushi was fairly creamy with a hint of sweetness * The Fried Ponpona was crispy, flaky, and refr
Outstanding sushi
This is a casual restaurant in Little Tokyo in downtown LA. The sushi, sashima and assorted other items were all outstanding. This was the best sushi I have had since visiting Japan, and the prices were quite reasonable. Service also quite efficie
I still really enjoy this restaurant.
This place holds a special place in my heart. The lunch special price has gone up and the plate has gotten smaller. But I still love this place. I highly recommend this place to anyone that wants to have good sushi at a great price. Tip: come sup
Super traditional sushi spot with high quality and fresh
Super traditional sushi spot with high quality and fresh fish, without any of the frills and gimmicks of new establishments. Although Sushi Gen may not be the most creative with their selection, you'll still be delighted at the quality of the fish an

The sushi here was some of the best I've ever had in my life. I ordered the sashimi deluxe lunch platter. I was astonished at the portion size and quality of the fish. I recommend this place 100% and it should be a must visit for sushi in the little
Amazing local sushi gem that is always packed.
The sushi is fresh, made after ordered, the service prompt, and sushi is reasonably priced. The atmosphere is traditional, upbeat, and for no-nonsense serious sushi lovers. For sure, another visit is on the list.
Nothing beats the price of their sashimi lunch at 23
Nothing beats the price of their sashimi lunch at 23 dollars. I went on a Tuesday lunch at 10:30 and I got in on the first round. You definitely have to get there around 10:30-10:45 to make it into the restaurant the first round or you'll have to w

I will definitely return. Only negative is the parking and long line.

I waited an hour outside with a friend and this was totally worth it! By far the freshest sushi I've ever had in LA. The quality was great! And the price, unbelievable. Everything tasted great in their lunch special sashimi plate. The atmosphere and

Delicious, high-quality sushi! I've been wanting to try sushi gen for a while now. I have heard about it from friends and personally witnessed its popularity as parties line up outside of the restaurant whenever I am in the area. I came on a Wednesda

Super popular spot over in a medium-sized strip mall in the middle of Little Tokyo. Parking is sparse in this area as it's always crowded here (there are other popular eating spots in this same lot). You'll know where to find it as it's the restauran
Fresh sushi!
I was craving sushi the other day and our family decided to have dinner here. The sushi was so fresh and delicious. Each piece was like a little work of art! Even though it gets pretty busy, we never felt rushed, and the service was spot on! will
fine
Our server made the experience perfect. She brought out the food all at the same time and brought us anything we asked for. Would definitely come back to this place!
The best sushi restaurant … mic drop!
Having enjoyed sushi and sashimi for almost 30 yrs, I have finally found my number one Japanese sushi restaurant!! Its high rating on TripAdvisor (and on my top lists) is no exaggeration, this place is legit and authentic! Located in a somewhat dated
Excellent Sushi In Little Tokyo
Sushi Gen was recommended to us as the best place for sushi in the downtown area of Los Angeles. We arrived just prior to the 5PM opening and there was already a queue to get a table. Service was prompt and friendly and the restaurant was very clean
Amazing food!
Me with my friend go for lunch. Great time we spend here, I had read and heard many good things about the place. Amazing food!
This place did not disappoint.
Went here on a Friday and there was already a line before the place even opened and got packed really quickly. Service was fast and food tasted great. We ordered a variety of food: Sushi deluxe, salmon collar lunch combo, yellowtail collar lunch comb
Chutoro
High quality fish cut perfectly served efficiently. Great value. Don’t be surprised if you find your favorite LA sushi chef sitting at the bar. No frills or fussy fusion. Is 5 orders of chutoro excessive for two people? Everything was amazing.
The restaurant is very popular.
I waited for more than 40 minutes to have the dinner. The staff is very nice and friendly. The food is very delicious. The decoration is Japanese style. I really appreciate your food, thank you very much.

Many Sushi places around Little Tokyo but Sushi Gen is the Spot! Very busy all day , waiting time 45 minutes. Lunch special Sushi is the deal. Take a look at photo!
Fish quality is good but the rice quality was really
Fish quality is good but the rice quality was really dissatisfying. Don't understand the hype.
Great sushi, great service.
For those of you looking for something more than salmon/tuna/yellowtail, this is your place. Sea bream, gizzard shad, mackerel, perch and of course uni.
I'll keep the answer short and simple since I've been here
I'll keep the answer short and simple since I've been here multiple times. I normally don't give a place 5 stars but Sushi Gen definitely deserves it since the quality and price has always been consistent. This restaurant rivals some of the more high
I always appreciate the level of organization and teamwork
I always appreciate the level of organization and teamwork here. The sushi chefs are artisans. Together with their assistants and wait staff, they just make magic happen. They have a wide variety of sushi and if are adventurous the chefs will crea
Always a pleasure minus the line.
All the fish is very fresh. I would like to do more sushi only next time so you can chose your favorites but the combos are a great deal and do fill you up nicely.
The hype is real.
Sushi Gen is a Little Tokyo classic and for good reason. The sashimi deluxe at both lunch and dinner are well-worth the price! I love the variety, quality, and taste of the fish. I love that it's not just raw fish (fave, obviously) but also soy brais

Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience

Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Sushi Gen Los Angeles at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Sushi Gen Los Angeles page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* DazzlingStretch76, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* DazzlingStretch76 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to DazzlingStretch76 for any questions Peter may have as DazzlingStretch76 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* DazzlingStretch76 now uses their connections at Sushi Gen Los Angeles to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If DazzlingStretch76 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, DazzlingStretch76 receives the $200 reward which is credited to DazzlingStretch76's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Sushi Gen Los Angeles!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
