  1. Little known fact… Sushi Gen’s Teriyaki Chicken is the best Teriyaki Chicken in LA. Like it’s actually fucking stupid how good it is given that everyone comes for the Sashimi combos.

    It’s crispy, it’s meaty, it’s got umami, it’s not to sweet, you can taste the sake and mirin in the teriyaki sauce. It’s just so fucking amazing every time I visit I’m torn between getting sashimi and the best fucking Teriyaki Chicken in LA.

    Thank you for reminding me that once again this restaurant is on my Google Maps Want to Go list

  3. I had such a bad experience at Sushi Gen that it’s soured me from ever going there again.

    I found a scale and fish bone in my sushi and told the waitress about it. She told me it was normal and didn’t even apologize for it. I was surprised given all the praise and the cost for this place.

    God I miss sushi komasa which was way better.

    I remember coming here in like 2006 fresh outta high school man this place is proper OG LA. Seems prices barely moved too. Gotta go back.

    Op, how long was the wait and when did you arrive?

    Their sashimi special is the bomb. $32 for dinner is a great deal as it is, but you can get it for $22 at lunch. If I don’t feel like waiting in the insane lunch line, I order takeout.

    An LA staple for me for sure.

    When I was preggers back in 2004 I was serving jury duty at the federal courthouse nearby. On lunch break I was craving sushi. Real bad. You’re technically not supposed to have it while pregnant. But I trust this place then and now. Have since raised a sushi fiend of a child.

    I lived in Japan and was blown away by this spot. Excellent prices for the quality you get. Truly worth it.
