The 18 Best Restaurants In Downtown Los Angeles - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"Of the countless sushi options in LA, Sushi Gen exists at the top of the quality-meets-value pyramid. For over 40 years, this Little Tokyo institution has been serving excellent sushi at affordable prices. Go for the specials—basically samplers of the best-selling nigiri and sashimi on one plate. But if you know exactly which specific cuts you want (or which ones you don’t), you could also just post up at the bar and order all the à la carte sushi your heart desires, while sitting front row to veteran sushi chefs cranking out fresh nigiri like clockwork." - brant cox, sylvio martins, cathy park
