We went back to Sushi Gen again. Just couldn't get enough of their sashimi. Last time I forgot to bring my camera. This time I made sure I had it in my purse so I can take good pictures of the sashimi then look at it at http://www.eileenlikestoeat.com and drool later.
We got to the restaurant at 10:45am. The restaurant opens at 11:15am. Why did we go there so early?
That's why! Just look at that line. If you get there after 11:00am, you might not be able to make it to the first seating.
Sunomono
This time we ordered two sashimi and one grilled fish. All entree came with the same appetizers. The first appetizer was sunomono.
Tofu
Second appetizer was tofu in a light stew sauce. I even got a big piece of stewed pork in my tofu.
Miso Soup
Hot miso soup for everyone.
Sashimi ($15.00)
Ahhhh.... the sashimi we've been craving for. Just like before, fresh, delicious, and a lot of food. Everything on the plate was wonderful.
Sashimi Appetizer
My grilled fish came with appetizer size sashimi. 7 big pieces of fish. Yum.
Grilled Kampachi Head ($15.00)
I don't remember where I heard this before, but eating fish head is supposed to make you smart. I had 2 midterms coming up. So I ordered the grilled kampachi head hoping it would help me get A's on my tests. The giant fish head looked a little scary on the plate. But I really want to get stright A's for my classes. ^^
Suprisingly there were lots of soft tender meat inside the head. Well, actually behind the head in the fin area. The meat was softer than the meat from the fish body I think. I really like it. There were also marinated fish flakes, egg, crag and squid.
Dipping Sauce
This was that dipping sauce I absolutely LOVE (forgot to take a picture before, so it was the after picture). Ponzu with grated daikon and green onion. So good with fish and rice.
Delicious delicious delicous lunch. Did I mention it was delicious? We will for sure be back to Sushi Gen again soon.

ReplyDelete我最近也在想吃Sushi Gen
好嘴饞啊
I can't wait to go back again!
Last time we went, we couldn't get in the 1st seating and we didn't want to wait for an hour, ended up sitting at the sushi bar.
ReplyDeleteI heard you can't order lunch special if sitting at the sushi bar.
Is it true? How is their regular sushi?
我每次都點sashimi combo!!!!
ReplyDelete最超值
Yup, best value sashimi!
I always want to try Sushi Gen, but not sure where I can park. Is it easy to park at their lot? Any recommendation with cheap parking besides meter? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteYou can park in their parking lot.
With validation, it's only $1.50.
初次經過被你的撒嘻密留下腳步好想吃喔
ReplyDelete看來很到地耶:
ohio還沒找到有大排長龍的呢?
You have to come visit LA. ^^
I work close to little tokyo, if you don't mind walk about 5-7 minutes, you can park at Santa Fe Ave, between 2nd and 3rd St, lot of free parking and then walk to Sushi Gen, I parked there every morning, hope that helps lol
ReplyDeleteSushi Gen parking lot only cost $1.50.
But I guess free parking & a little exercise is even better. ^^
每次去LAX一定要去吃的店.
ReplyDeleteYup, one of the best restaurants in LA.
My coworker recommend Sushi Go 55 inside that 3-sty shopping mall in J-town for lunch. He said the $15 Chirashi lunch there is so worth the money! There's no 30-minute wait time either. Check out the review on Yelp, too. Seems pretty positive.
ReplyDeleteNo you can't order the special at sushi bar. The sushi was fairly good, but I had better. :)
