Sushi Gen@Little Tokyo ★

Casual Historical Sushi Spot. Reasonable price. Premium Lunch Sushi Set has great pricing for $38, but you will get fresher fish if you order a la carte. Fast service and serving. Finished meal within 1 hour. It might be a bit dusty inside that gave my nose allergy. No reservations. Walk-in & write down your name. Line already formed before opening time on a weekday. Pro Tip: Line up at least 15 minutes before opening to avoid waiting for 2nd round of seating, even for weekday. Hot Green Tea $2. Parking in Honda Plaza $5 flat rate for lunch. Pay at parking entrance with cash or credit card.

Premium Sushi Lunch Set $38
