"On lucky nights, the restaurant will have engawa, served with either ponzu or a light lemon juice. If not, there’s always geoduck, some of the best maguro around, ama ebi (with heads deep-fried or in miso soup), and the rest of a consistently superb selection, all crafted around a perfectly molded bed of rice."
on Sushi
"A true gem in Little Tokyo, this popular, quality sushi spot ruins you for the rest, thanks to super-fresh, “classic” cuts pleasing to the eye and palate."
on Sushi
"Nestled in Downtown's Little Tokyo neighborhood since 1980, Sushi Gen has turned into a cult favorite for LA's sushi aficionados. The main draw: sashimi lunch special. Glut your taste buds on fresh halibut, fatty tuna, sea urchin, scallops, oysters at this top-notch sushi spot, but be prepared to wait."
on Sashimi
"Come early to grab a table at this classic sushi spot, where bantering Japanese chefs carve thick slabs of melt-in-your-mouth salmon, buttery toro (tuna belly), Japanese snapper and more."

"If you want something a bit smaller, the Chirashi Deluxe is the way to go. Their fresh fish is as vibrant as it is delicious."
"Top 10 Chirashi Bowls in Los Angeles: Sushi Gen - Their chirashi is a sensible assortment of the day’s freshest catch. Though salmon slices are notably absent, they have incredibly fresh bites of tuna, yellow, squid and eel."
"The sushi menu is fairly predictable, but the fish is fresh and prepared with care, including salmon nicely ribboned with fat, seasonal octopus sashimi, toro and albacore. The scallop and ankimo are favorites here."
on Sushi
"Request a seat at the sushi bar and marvel as the line of sushi chefs doles out some of the highest-quality, lowest-cost raw fish in America."
on Sushi
"The fish is top grade, silken and cut in such a way that it isn’t so much presented as revealed."
on Sushi
"It’s a chef’s selection of the day’s freshest sashimi over a bed of rice. This is a great option if you want to try different kinds of fish."
