LA A High-Value Classic Japanese Spot

Los Angeles Food Tour 🍣 Even before 12:00 PM on a busy weekday, a long line had already formed outside Sushi Gen! 🐉 You might think it’s the only sushi restaurant in the area… But actually, there are at least a dozen sushi spots within a few blocks. Yet Sushi Gen has truly earned a loyal following— by 12:30 PM, the whole place was completely packed! 👥🔥 Though they sometimes run out of salmon slices, their fresh tuna, yellowtail, squid, and eel are absolutely stunning— each piece is a burst of flavor! 🌊👌 The lunch set is a great deal, but you’ll often wait an hour in line. If you don’t want to wait, you can order à la carte— today we chose bar seating and went with single orders! 🍱✌️ After your meal, don’t forget to visit Tea Master across the street for matcha ice cream— I swear it’s the best matcha soft serve in all of LA! 🍵🍦😋 Sushi Gen 🍣 📍 422 E 2nd St, Los Angeles, CA 90012 What’s your go-to sushi order? Have you found a hidden gem that’s always worth the wait?
