"Sushi Gen is my favorite Japanese sushi restaurant in Los Angeles and perhaps the world!!! I've been going to Sushi Gen for over 15 years. My favorite sushi cook – Kaz is still there and goes strong! I haven't done so much, but Kaz still remembers me. What I always do, in every Sushi restaurant, is Uni – Sea Urchin. Sometimes I get it with a raw quail egg yolk up to make it extra creamy. The University of Sushi Gen seems always very good. Another favorite – the halibut with the Ponzo sauce is also good. I also like the cheesy simple like Tamago and Inari. I know most people will get the huge shell, salmon, tuna, fat tuna. I like the one where you don't use soy sauce or wasabi. Make sure you go to a sushi restaurant that you sit at the bar. I don't like going with a big group, but with a bigger group, a table might be better. The sushi bar offers the interaction between you, your friend and the cook. I'm sure people will tell me they like others – like Matushia, Sasebune, etc., but for me. .Sushi Gen will be my personal favorite. Whatever. My proposal is when you go to any sushi – meet your sushi boss. And let him meet you. With a friendly sniper, he'll let you know what's good. . . and more importantly what is not. I pour my beer for them to drink and vice versa. But sometimes they can't drink. But what I do now would I buy and offer a few bottles of big beers – so they can drink after work. If you go to Sushi Gen, wait at least 1/2 hours for a table or sitting in the Sushi Bar. Come there early. One of the reasons I like sushi gene is that I once saw Japanese college sumo team eating there. If the Japanese College Sumo team picks up sushi gene to eat in Los Angeles, then you know it must be good."
