"I highly recommend Gen... Excellent sushi and sashimi and great cooked dishes as well. The owners are Japanese rastafarians. Very sweet and attentive service also," writes Chowhound DeeDee. And Gridskipper says, "A small garden in the back provides a nice retreat after visiting the Brooklyn Museum of Art. We liked the 'Rastaman' roll, which complimented the music and the location -- tuna, mango, and avocados!"

"The fish is always incredibly fresh... They make their own soy sauce too and it's quite tasty! .. They also offer a really good wild rice instead of white rice which I love," writers Yelper LinC K.. And back when I was writing for Citysearch, I mentioned that Gen's "Broiled eel and ripe avocado make a perfect pairing, whether piled over mesclun greens, or stuffed into a too-cute Godzilla roll, with a spine of avocado triangles and ikura for eyes." How would you rate this place?

This place is excellent. I've only ever ordered delivery, but it comes quick, the sushi is fresh and priced well, and they have hijiki (which I love).

The sushi is pretty good--for a reasonably priced neighborhood sushi joint, it's quite good, but it's nothing I'd travel far for. They have a full menu, and the other things are decent. Some are hit or miss... Don't bother with the chicken katsu curry (too bland). The nabeyaki undo is quite good, though... Prices are pretty good, but we find it's way too easy to rack up a huge bill, nonetheless...
