" I had a wonderful experience at Sushi Gen! The sushi was incredibly fresh and flavor-packed. The sashimi was melt-in-your-mouth tender, and the variety offered is unmatched. The staff was friendly, and while it took some time to get seated, it was 100% worth the wait. Definitely coming back soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Sushi Gen is a solid sushi establishment. The quality of fish is top-notch, and the service is pretty good. However, the place was a little cramped, which made it a less enjoyable experience. I would still recommend it, especially for the authentic sushi experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" Simply put, the best sushi I've had! I love sitting at the bar where I can interact with the amazing chefs. The omakase was a one-of-a-kind experience featuring unique fish selections I've never tried before; everything was incredible! Beware of the lines, but I assure you it's worth the wait. " (*Curated Review*)

" This place is always busy for a reason! Sushi Gen serves some of the freshest and highest quality fish in LA, and I can see why everyone recommends it. The bar experience is superb. Although expect long waits, the food makes it worthwhile! Highly recommend trying the sushi platter. " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at Sushi Gen was delightful, but I did wish for a bit more space. The food was incredibly fresh, but I felt rushed at the bar. It’s a challenge sitting at the bar with other customers so close. However, I loved the quality of the fish and service, and I’m eager to return. " (*Curated Review*)

" An unforgettable sushi experience! Everything from the moment we stepped in felt authentic. We had the sashimi platter which was beautifully arranged with a wide variety of fish. It was so fresh, and each piece melted in the mouth. This is definitely one of my top sushi spots now. " (*Curated Review*)

" Honestly, I was underwhelmed. The hype surrounding Sushi Gen had me excited, but my experience didn’t match expectations. The sushi was fresh, but certain items felt basic and lacked the creativity I anticipated. The place was packed, and finding a table was challenging. " (*Curated Review*)
