Absolutely Overrated
Monday, February 05, 2007
I LOVE sushi and was really excited about trying this sushi place after a friend's recommendation and reading all the reviews. I took other's advice and made a reservation on Saturday night; which was a good thing because the wait would have been 90 minutes instead of the 20 minutes that we had to wait with a reservation for 4 people. The host at the front door was less than pleasant. He was not only rude but I had the hardest time understanding him. I do want to point out that our waitress and the other servers were very polite. While waiting for our table, I overheard a woman saying that there are other sushi places in the Little Tokyo area that do not have a wait but Sushi Gen is much better. As I waited for our table, that woman's comment made me more anxious to try this great "hidden" find.
My conclusion is that the food is very mediocre and over priced. My 3 other parties were just as disappointed in the food because we could have paid so much less for much better sushi. I'm sure people are curious to try this sushi place because everybody else says it's so great. If you do choose to try this place, please come back and write a review. I am more than 100% sure that my friends and I are not the only people who found this place to be absolutely overrated.
Cons: Restaurant does not valiate parking.
