What People Are Saying About Sushi-Gen
The Editor

Contributor
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. –

Great sushi @ an affordable price!!
by niecehead at Citysearch
The sushi is always fresh here and the service is good. I always enjoy sitting at the sushi bar bc I know I will be well taken care of.
The Chirashi bowl lunch special is worth the trip to dtla! But come before it open or after the lunch rush!! If not, you will have to wait!
- Pros: fresh sushi, good service
- Cons: long wait
Downtown is the spot

I love downtown...they always have restaurants that have good quick lunch specials...but if you're ever in the hollywood area...Club Sushi is a good place too.
Simply Great!

The food here is terrific and the service is usually pretty good. I've been here with my friends quite a few times and they all loved it. The only downside is the long wait during dinner hours and the atmosphere is only mediocre. Sushi Gen is amazing nonetheless.
- Pros: great food
- Cons: long wait
