" Sushi Gen was everything I hoped it would be! The variety and quality of fish were unmatched. I tried the daily special and couldn’t get enough of the flavors. I sat at the bar and enjoyed watching the chefs work their magic. Truly a feast for the senses! " (*Curated Review*)

" Sushi Gen has become my go-to for sushi in LA! The quality and authenticity are exceptional. I love how they don’t overload their dishes with sauces; the focus on the natural flavors of the fish is a huge plus for me. Get there early if you want a seat—you won't regret it! " (*Curated Review*)

" Sushi Gen had a great variety of options, but I found some items a bit bland. The fish was fresh, no doubt, but it didn't have that bold flavor I was hoping for. Still, service was quick, and the environment was lively and fun. I might give it another shot with different menu items. " (*Curated Review*)

" My recent visit to Sushi Gen left me really satisfied! The ambiance is traditionally serene, perfect for enjoying good sushi. I had the Chirashi, which was fantastic and filled with a variety of seafood. Each slice felt authentic and expertly crafted; however, our server seemed a bit overworked, and it took a while to get our orders in. " (*Curated Review*)

" A favorite among sushi enthusiasts! Sushi Gen provides high-quality fish with a focus on authentic flavors and preparations. While I found the chirashi bowl to be incredible, the service could use some improvement as it felt a bit rushed due to the crowd. Nevertheless, it’s a wonderful spot for sushi! " (*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*)
