In fact, I’m basically the Andrew Ross Sorkin of Southern California at this point, only if Andrew Ross Sorkin spent 1,000 words every two weeks …

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.

This sushi place is the best in town.
Raw tuna has an absolutely superb taste. It’s of great quality and has a high turnover rate, ensuring that you can always enjoy fresh sushi. However, one unfortunate aspect is that we don’t take reservations, which means we have to wait for at least 20 minutes.

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.

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.

I had lunch at Sushi Gen, a place where you usually have to wait an hour to an hour and a half. Lately, though, it feels like the waiting time has been getting shorter. Most popular Japanese or BBQ restaurants take one weekday off, and this place is closed on Mondays. Today is Tuesday, so I lined up 30 minutes before opening and ended up being #2 in line. In the past, I would’ve had to arrive at least an hour early to be one of the first two. As always, the quality hasn’t changed at all, and I finished my lunch lightly with just one-third of a bowl of rice.

Came here on a Saturday night around 6pm and waited about 90 minutes for a table.
The kicker? You have to pay $10 to get in the lot before you even get the pleasure of waiting.
Food was good but not worth a 90 minute wait

My second visit, and it’s still just as good as the first: the authentic flavors, fresh fish, and the perfect temperature, leaving the sensation incredible. The line was quite long at lunchtime; we waited about 30 minutes.

Went for opening a few minutes before 4PM on a Saturday and there was already at least 30 people before me. I still narrowly managed to get in and secure one of the last tables. I ordered the dinner sashimi set with an extra side of very fatty tuna (loved it). The fish quality was good, and more than reasonable for this price point. I can see why folks line up early for this spot. Very friendly staff too.
