Brooklyn's Sushi Palace

by MRHOSHE

Tell ya what, if you're a foodie and love sushi, but not making a trip to NYC, go to Gen! "Hands down", best shrimp shumai ever... Staff is warm, welcoming and friendly. Chefs are phenom... Get in early, cuz the place is small. They do have a back patio I believe? But my girl and I always chill at the bar, "Get out of my seat!!!" No really, great place and waaay affordable. So glad I live less than a 5 minute walk. Very impressive for a 5 year venture!!!

• Pros: Best shrimp shumai around, hands down
• Cons: Small space, get in early!!!

Disappointing

by kitaloo

Sadly, a let down. The menu looked great, and the prices were reasonable, so we gave it a shot for carry-out. Bones in our sushi were an unpleasant surprise (and painful) and other things (Teriyaki chicken) we ordered were disappointing. We ended up tossing a lot out, because it just wasn't good. Other rave reviews leave me puzzled. Maybe dine-in is the best choice here?

Amazing sushi.

by wormulus

I can't recommend this restaurant enough!!! The food is amazing, the space is lovely, and the staff are all super friendly. The only issues I would say are 1) the place is small, so sometimes it can be a bit of a wait and 2) when the outside garden is open for seating, there isn't always enough waitstaff to go around. However, the outdoor garden is so lovely that I never seem to care. And the food is so wonderful that the wait is totally worth it.

The portions of sushi/sashimi are huge. No joke. This is the only sushi place I've ever been where I can order sashimi and an apetizer and be totally stuffed at the end. Their specials are always creative and super tasty. Their sushi is great. Really, I've never had a bad thing here! (I particularly like the pork belly appetizer)

I highly recommend this place!

• Pros: wonderful food. cute outdoor garden/patio
• Cons: can sometimes be slow service
