Food and service is all good. I get my favorite bake salmon sushi which is delicious. Have a tried a few things which is pretty good.
Sit at the bar to watch the chefs as they prepare your sushi! There's also a few televisions if you'd rather watch that instead. Tables are available for larger parties, both inside and at their back patio. THE FOOD. - Garlic Edamame | Garlicky and nutty flavors with seasonings for added savoriness. - Spicy Salmon Roll | Rich, buttery salmon with a kick of spiciness. The rice was portioned perfectly as well. - Double Double Roll | Refreshing and flavorful pairing of tender, slightly sweet shrimp and the creamy richness of avocado. - Baked Lobster Roll | California roll with seared langostino on top. Drizzled eel sauce adds to the sweetness. - Mackerel Sushi | Fishy, but the green onion helped to tone down the flavor. They gave me an extra cut of mackerel on top, which I appreciated! THE DRINK. - Iced Tea | No fuss, it's tea and it was good. THE PARKING. Free parking and plenty of it. THE RETURN? Yep, it's a pretty solid sushi place. I also want to mention that the staff are super helpful; continually passing by to clear out the plates and refill drinks.
The baked lobster roll is the best! The service is great as well! I would definitely recommend
Amazing little hole in the wall spot right off the 73. Super friendly staff - especially the sushi chef's. Not a lot of seating so it does get pretty packed. We showed up on a Friday around 5pm and no one really came until almost 6 then it started to fill up. Prices are great and food is absolutely delicious! Their octopus salad is super tasty with cold sake, I absolutely loved their "fire cracker," (spicy tuna with jalapeño and avocado on fried rice) and of course the tuna belly and yellow tail belly were delicious (great quality). Highly recommended.
What a great restaurant! Amazing food! We tried all kinds of sushi here and recommend each one!
I love the whole place! They make you feel important and part of the family period. I love the owner, June. The employees are all considerate and kind and know you by name. The food is amazing and the portions are wonderful.
The service and staff are great and the fish is super fresh.. love the bento box and sushi special
We were at Target when my kids got a craving for sushi, so we headed across the parking lot to Zen. It was a small, modest looking restaurant with nice wait staff and a steady flow of customers. I ordered the Salmon Lemon Roll and my kids got 2 California Rolls and Shrimp + Veggie Tempura. The seafood was fresh and the food tasted good. Unfortunately, all 3 of our sushi rolls kept unrolling and falling apart. That was a big bummer! We might give them another try next time we're in the area.
Came here for some lunch with some coworkers after a great recommendation. We got seated at the sushi bar and ordered a bunch of sushi to share. We got the yellowtail, yellowtail belly, salmon, escolar, scallops, ono, and uni sushi. My favorite was the yellowtail, yellowtail belly, salmon, and uni. Their fish cuts are fat and definitely fresh. I also got the salmon skin handroll and it was very flavorful and crispy. Their handrolls are huge and definitely filling with rice, avocado, and cucumber. The service was great and the sushi chefs were personable. Definitely a smaller shop so I can see them being busy during dinner time. I will definitely be back to try their sushi rolls and other sashimi.
