My favorite sushi spot. Have gone back several times and the food has been consistently good. It's currently in the old Sonic on Line, but don't let the outward facade scare you off. You can go in, sit down, and eat. It's worth it.Kid-friendliness: It's a tiny place, but there are kids there occasionally.

After searching far and wide for sushi that was fresh, I found this place on a Google search. I only had 2 items from the menu but they were both very good. Only downside was the size of the more expensive roll. I am used to a much bigger roll at that price point. I had the sweet shrimp sashimi and the sunshine roll. The sweet shrimp was great and they added the eggs as requested which really gives its a much more complex texture and elevates the taste. The sunshine roll was good. With a combination of shoft shell crab on the inside, tuna and eel on top. In many sushi places I have found all eel rolls lacking. I enjoy eel that has been reheated in the oven giving it a nice crispy texture and served warm. Many places I have found in the area don't take this extra step and the eel is limp and room temperature at best. Unfortunately at sushi gen the eel was the same.

Unless they have moved this place is closed and burned down. I wish I’d known that before I drive all the way over there for nothing. If y’all have moved please update the address

The sushi was by far the worst. Maybe it was a bad day. But today they need to go to church or something.

Sushi Gen is my favorite place to get sushi. They are the ones that changed my mind about sushi! It is always so good! I love the staff...but they have literally never disappointed me. My to go orders are always great as well. I love the steak bento box, yam yam roll, shrimp tempura, spicy tuna, 007, and Osaka roll (with crab on top)**they have 2 Osaka rolls. Their clear soup and spicy mayo are perfect! Im mot crazy about their ginger dressing. It's a creamy style ginger dressing.
We were a little hesitant to go inside because the outside appearance needs to be updated a little. But we are so glad we went in! The inside is nice, waitstaff very helpful and attentive, and the food is amazing! I fully recommend this place.

One of my top 5 favorite restaurants in the city. Been coming at least twice a month in the last 3-4 years. Just as a bit of constructive feedback: I have noticed in recent months the consistency has been a little off; some components of rolls being left out entirely or missing only for certain segments of a roll for example (mango being left completely off of a mango roll recently). Will continue to be a regular but would just like to see a little more consistency in the items as they have been for ages. Thank you!!

Our server David was amazing, instantly greeted us, and was so friendly, food cam quickly, and he was so polite, even when we wanted quite a bit more sauces than we should have gotten!?

My favorite restaurant in Shreveport! The sushi and hibachi is always a phenomenal. Ask for Ace as your server! She is the sweetest waitress I’ve ever had.
