Sushi Gen

Sushi restaurant · Historic Core

"Welcome to one of LA’s great sushi institutions. This Little Tokyo strip mall spot has lines down the block every day before it even opens, and everybody’s generally waiting for one thing: the sashimi lunch special. With soup, salad, and over nine cuts of premium fish, this $23 plate is one of the best deals in the city. It's so popular you have to sit in a specific area of the restaurant to get it." - brant cox, sylvio martins
