    Crispy Rice and Yellowtail Serrano
    Joe S.

    What a nice surprise! We were attending a performance nearby and I saw a decent review on Yelp so I thought we'd give them a shot. Upon entering, we were greeted immediately and told to order at the kiosk and then to sit anywhere. By anywhere, that meant one of two or three tables next to the window. I was a bit taken aback by the sparseness of the place and the fact that one of the refrigerated cases was completely empty. But the server, who seemed to also be the owner, quickly updated us tray it was only the second day they had been open following a remodel. We placed our order and grabbed the only available table. It was explained to us that the menu isn't very large so that they can focus on quality over quantity, something I appreciate. The food came out quite fast and was in a bag ready for us to take home. Except we were dining in. When I mentioned that, he shrugged. Okay, I'm thinking. Maybe it was a simple mistake, so we took everything out of the bag and arranged it on the table. Over the course of the meal, I noticed that all orders were prepared that way, whether dine in or take out. We ordered the Crispy Rice, Yellowtail Serrano, Ponzu Albacore, the Spicy Tuna Avocado Crunch roll (I believe) and two orders of the Tuna Lovers sushi. After fidgeting around with all of the individual containers and setting up some wasabi and soy sauce in one of the lids, we indulged. By this point, I am slightly annoyed that we are essentially serving ourselves, and no dipping bowls or other items were offered. But my annoyances were quickly overcome at the first bite. Everything, and I mean EVERYTHING, was incredibly fresh and delicious. The assorted Tuna Lovers sushi featured 4 different preparations, each one better than the last. The sashimi slices were amply cut and the toppings perfectly complemented the fish. The crispy rice was fairly standard and the roll was nice and flavorful. The bottom line is that I wish this place were closer to me. I'd be eating there frequently. My inclination was to give them 5 stars due to the freshness of the food, but I need to knock off a star due to the ambiance and service. For the price, I really expect to be served and not have to order at a kiosk. I also expect food to comer out on actual dishes, not in a take out bag with disposable containers. So...4 stars it is. But I look forward to returning at some point and if they correct those things, and the food is just as good, I'll write a new 5 star review!

    Crunchy roll yum!

    Great find for delivery. I give the fish quality 5 stars. I can see and taste the quality. It's nicely packaged and the Kumo Set was super worth it. The price is also fantastic! Again great alternative to Sugarfish and Masa. Those guys charge a lot for packaging but again it's about the quality of the fish. So Kumo is no different! Quality fish! Miso was a little on the small amount and I like salt with edamame. However this is now my goto for delivery.

    Ordered take out and got the crispy rice, Philadelphia roll, and 6pc of nigiri. Everything was good! I didn't have a "wow" moment but that's okay.

    The portions are so so small. Not a regular size sushi roll. First and last time ordering. I paid $16.49 for seared salmon roll and $9.89 for the Philadelphia roll. Sushi quality tasted okay. Nothing out of the ordinary. No sriracha provided. Small plastic mini bag of fresh ginger was a plus.

    Stopped by on a Saturday afternoon when craving some sushi. I was at the SAG building and this place was near by. The plaza is small and shares it with several other businesses. Parking is very limited. I had to park at the nearby residential area and then moved my car once a spot opened up. Couldn't find any meter parking as they were all taken. I got 3 Kumo sets. I ate 2 and my kid ate 1. It was fresh and great quality sushi. We enjoyed everything and we will be back next time we are in the area. You order from a tablet and pay on your own. It was quick and easy. Check their hours. They are open from 4pm. Definitely recommend.

    Kumo Set
    Keti L.

    Came here after my friend told me about their $20 Kumo sushi set, and it was totally worth it. FOOD: 5/5 The set included crispy rice tuna, a tuna roll, and four pieces of sushi. Everything tasted super fresh, and one of the sushi pieces was toro, which melted in my mouth. Amazing quality for the price. Would definitely come back and recommend supporting this spot. SERVICE: 5/5 You order at a kiosk when you walk in. Seating is limited (only two tables for now), so it's more of a quick bite place, but service was fast. The girl who gave me my order was really nice, and the sushi was made fresh without a long wait. ATMOSPHERE: 4/5 Small, casual sushi spot with minimal parking, but there's street parking nearby. It wasn't crowded when I went, which made it a chill experience.

    DISGUSTING! DISGUSTING!! DISGUSTING!!! I will never return nor recommend them! Ever! Their "fish" looked and tasted fake and nasty. Made me feel sick instantly! Can't believe they took over the space once 2 Cents closed.

    Heard so many good things about this new sushi restaurant and was so excited to try. I got their set that came with crispy rice tuna, two pieces sashimi, nigiri, spicy tuna roll and edamame seaweed salad and miso soup on the side. Price came out to be 37$ but I wanted to try a little bit of everything and was down for this little sampler menu. Really wanted to like this place but the sashimi was thrown around randomly, every time I picked a nigiri piece the rice just fell off and I thought the texture on the crispy rice tuna was stale. Side dishes and miso soup were fine but was genuinely not impressed.

    They've re-opened after a two week renovation of their space and it's so cute! Sushi here is fresh, reasonably priced & delicious. We had: Sushi set / You get soup, seafood salad, edamame, cucumber salad plus sashimi, spicy tuna crunchy rice roll, nigiri sushi & an extra tuna roll. We also got an additional roll. Drinks are byob. Highly recommend and such a nice addition to the neighborhood.

    Always a good meal here. I'm excited to see the market open up! Can't wait to see it. Service is fast considering how many orders pile up. Such an easy place to drop by and pick up sushi on the way home

    Kumo Set (limited edition)
    Janet A.

    I came across this place online and decided to check it out. If you do, please note they are still in their soft opening so there is limited seating, etc. all employees were super friendly and the quality of the fish was great. Super excited for when they open!

    $20 special
    Fiona W.

    The $20 special is so good and such a great deal. The quality of fish was amazing and so fatty! There are only 2 small tables inside but they offer takeout! I will 100% be coming back.

    This is personally my favorite sushi spot in Los Angeles. I've tried a lot of different places in LA, but this one hits the nail for me because of how they season their rice and emphasize good quality fish. I've been trying to look for a go-to for a while now, but this one for sure is it for me. Chef Roy, George, and the staff are so welcoming and kind. They're funny too, I heard them re-enacting "Yes Chef" from The Bear TV show. It made me laugh as they definitely know how to have fun while serving their customers. Small spot with limited parking inside the plaza, but there's never any issues with street parking. Seats are also limited too, so order to-go if anything. Will come back (again) for my next sushi fix. I've come here twice in two days... the Kumo Set is too good. The tuna is the BEST & melts in your mouth.

The plaza itself is unassuming, and at 7pm on a Thursday, most other businesses in the plaza had closed. The lot was full, so we paid $12 for valet parking across the street.  We waited for about 10 minutes for our seats at the bar, and honestly, the bar was so much fun! We sat right in front of our sushi chef and orated our orders directly to him, piece by piece. He was such a jovial soul and made our experience so warm and enjoyable. I was very impressed not only with his ability to make sushi but the attention and care he paid to his customers. For example, he noticed that I especially enjoyed the fattier cuts of fish such as ootoro and salmon toro, so when I ordered yellowtail, he recommended that I try the kanpachi toro instead. It was a great recommendation, and in that moment, I felt so seen. The chefs here are truly masters of their craft, both in sushi making and hospitality. In total, I had the toro, salmon, unagi, scallops, kanpachi, salmon toro, and kanpachi toro. Every piece of nigiri I had was very fresh and delicious. My favorite pieces of sushi had to be the toro. You actually get two different cuts of toro with one order, chuutoro and ootoro which are medium fatty and full fatty respectively. Each piece was so delicious and indulgent, I don't know if I can choose a favorite.  I had a wonderful experience at Sushi Gen, and I think that sitting at the bar was way more fun than what sitting at a table would've been. I loved getting to interact with our sushi chef and felt very well taken care of. The sushi was amazing. I'm already plotting an excuse for my next visit.

It was definitely not what I've expected or ever experienced in a Japanese restaurant. We were quickly greeted by the staff and be seated by the wall. The upholstery of our seats were torn. The area where we were sitting was a bit too dark and could definitely add more lights for customers to see their menus. After giving a look at the menu, our server asked if we were ready. I said it's our first time so we need some time to look through the menu. She replied ok and left. We mainly ordered sushi items. Servers brought over each item one at a time. When I almost finished mine, my family is still waiting for theirs. You do see the staff walk by the tables constantly. However, I would hope the servers would ask how is everything and if we need anything else. Overall, sushi tastes fine. I probably won't be back given the experience that we had.
