The highest quality sushi in LA! Order the omakase and let the sushi masters work their magic. They'll keep giving you treats until you say no more. Price is reasonable for this level quality. When you order Amiebi you can choose the between fried head or miso soup with head.

Sushi Gen is my absolute favorite Japanese sushi restaurant. If you’re craving sashimi or sushi, this is the place to visit — you’ll enjoy some of the freshest and most satisfying quality fish around. This place is always crowded. Lunch, dinner, weekdays, weekends — there’s almost always a line. If you want to avoid waiting, try coming around 5 PM for dinner. That’s usually the best time to get in without a long wait. Especially on weekends, the line gets even longer, so plan accordingly. But overall, the quality is absolutely worth it. Highly recommended.

Excellent food and service! All of the food was very fresh, with a number of not so common options. I was impressed with the size of the fish and rice on the nigiri. The fish was fairly large and the rice was smaller than many restaurants. Favorites were salmon belly and yellowtail belly. The staff was nice enough to help me with getting a copy of my receipt several days after my visit. Much appreciated and highly recommend Sushi Gen.

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 sprinkled on each sashimi. Melt in your mouth. Other than your normal cuts of fish, the chef has some off the menus specialties if you are lucky enough to get served. The meal is quite expensive but worth every penny. Special occasion is highly recommended to celebrate here.

Loved the sushi!! A long line but worth the wait. Great value , good variety and worth the 1.5 hour drive. In the middle of a lot of shops to make the wait go busy, just wished I wasn’t hurried away and forced to chug my beer. Staff was not the friendliest, I know they need to turn over tables but dang!! I had only spent 25 minutes from sitting down to eat and being wished away. Even after that still would come back for the quality of food.
