What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Sushi Gen is celebrated for its incredibly fresh and authentic Japanese cuisine, particularly its sushi and sashimi, often described as the best experienced outside of Japan. While many praise the quality and value, especially during lunch, some diners find the prices high for the portion sizes and have encountered issues with specific dishes or service knowledge.
"Very pleased with the quality and taste of the food served at this location. Both the sushi and the hibachi chicken were fresh and flavorful. We ordered the teriyaki chicken dish and the Fire Dragon Roll (add spicy tuna). Our dishes were served quickly by the kind and helpful waitress."
Ephraim Fields
"I ordered several things and was very disappointed. My princess roll tasted like it was sprayed with a cleaner. It was so bitter that it burned your tongue. Also I paid 42 dollars for the smalls steak and shrimp dinner that didn’t come with rice. I spend 89 dollars and was only able to eat two things that I ordered. Super disappointed with the whole experience."
Morgan Griffith
"The food was good. I enjoyed their sea urchin and eel sushi. The beef udon was delicious and so was the salmon teriyaki bento."
