| - With so many sushi places in the Annex, sometimes it's hard for me to keep them all straight. But I have to say that I have the biggest love for this little place. I've spent so many great meals talking with friends in this cozy, steamy restaurant that going to New Gen is almost a default option for dinner.
Hard core sushi eaters will be impressed by the array of options available to them. Those of us who veer closer to bento eating territory will also find plenty of menu items to suit their appetites. I'm especially fond of their array of appetizer choices, including their "mega salad" - one of my favorites, which has avocado, tofu, grape tomatoes and their tasty salad dressing. Their miso soup is also delicious, and when I crave a good hot (fast) bowl of miso, this is the first place I head to. Soup and ice cream are also free of charge with your meal, so don't be alarmed when it comes without prompting. Of course, if you show up to close to the dinner rush, you will often encounter a line out the front door.
New Gen also offers my very favorite Annex lunch special. With a huge amount of combo choices, each lunch special item comes in a sort of mini-bento serving - miso soup, salad and usually some sort of side, plus whatever your main meal is. My favorite (and nearly inevitable) choice is the chicken katsu combo, although there are many others to choose from including some udon and less common lunch menu items.
Because of that never ending line, service is kept prompt and tactical in nature. If you order a lot of items to share with a few people try not to be overwhelmed when they all come out within minutes of each other. If you are still feeling the need to chat with your friends once you pay, my suggestion would be to move on to Futures for a coffee or face the antsy servers trying to get your table clear. But overall the staff is very kind and helpful if you've got questions about the food or are looking for suggestions.
Overall it's a great quick meal if you're looking to go out with friends afterwords and nearly everything on the menu is affordable. There are several vegetarian-friendly items although if I didn't eat fish/seafood at all I'm sure it wouldn't be my first choice. The only sad thing about this place for me is that I tend to avoid it during peak hours or if I'm looking for a more drawn-out, lingering dining experience.
