Sushi Gen in New South Wales

"I found a delicious sushi restaurant in Sydney. It’s a sushi place in Glebe where the chef prepares food with kindness and sincerity. The sushi was so good that I wanted to try every item on the menu. I definitely plan to visit again. You can trust this place and give it a try!"

"Best bento box offer in town. Every single element have been crafted meticulously. Their fresh wasabi was so mild and aromatic. Loved it ! Will come back for sure"

"Honestly one of my favourite places to eat in Sydney, and what I consider to be the best Japanese I’ve had! The staff are consistently so lovely, the food is delicious, and very reasonably priced. A very easy recommendation to friends when looking for somewhere nice but casual to eat. Keep doing what you’re doing!"

"Last week, we went to Sushi Gen, which is hands down our all-time favorite spot. As expected, the food was incredible. We ordered a variety of dishes—tempura, sushi, sashimi, and stir-fry udon. The tempura, as always, was the highlight. It came with two perfectly crispy prawns and a mix of fresh vegetables, all fried to perfection. Honestly, they looked so tempting that I couldn’t resist and ended up eating them before I even remembered to take a photo! The sashimi was also top-notch—super fresh and melt-in-your-mouth delicious. The sushi was equally impressive, with vibrant fish and expertly prepared rice. Even the stir-fry udon was spot-on, with the right balance of flavors and texture. Every dish was a reminder of why we keep coming back to Sushi Gen. The quality never disappoints, and it’s always such a treat!"

"What an amazing find!! Delicious authentic Japanese food prepared by chef with love and care. Also the restaurant is family owned, I guess this explains the fresh delicious food. I tried Vegetable Goyozas (divine!!), Agadashi Tofu (some of the best I've ever tried), Salmon Bento Box (so good! Decent amount of salmon), Tuna Avocado roll (simple, but so tasty) and Dragon Roll (loved it! ). Everything was fantastic. Beautifully presented, tasty and very generous portions. I will definitely come back for more! They have a great variety of Japanese cuisine, not just sushi. So I'm definitely keen to try everything on the menu. I think it's very reasonably priced compared to other Japanese restaurants. I was actually surprised at prices. For a family of 3, we spent almost $100 but I ate a lot haha I was after my 2 hour swimming training, so I ate like a swimmer. But I would say one portion of anything that we ate would be a decent sufficient meal on its own. The portions are huge."

"Had the Karaage, sushi and udon. Which was great. Good mix of hot and cold food. Sushi was fresh and great."

"Wonderful customer service in a very cozy space. Everything we ordered was absolutely sensational. The seafood is very fresh and the portions are very generous. For salmon lovers; I highly recommend the teriyaki salmon bento box. You can easily share a bento box between two people and then order a couple of starters. Make sure to order some sushi. Great value for money too. I will definitely be back"

"Just moved to Glebe recently and stumbled upon Sushi Gen on a rainy day — what a great surprise! It’s right on the corner, super convenient for a casual lunch especially in this weather. I ordered the Teriyaki Salmon Bento ($30) and was really impressed. The salmon was perfectly cooked, the sushi was incredibly fresh, and even the rice and vegetables were spot on. The portion was very generous — actually a little too much for me to finish in one sitting, which is rare for Japanese food. The atmosphere reminded me so much of the authentic Japanese restaurants we visited back in Japan. A hidden gem in the neighbourhood — I’ll definitely be back!"
