The fish is first-rate and traditional. From Toro, Fresh Sea Urchin in the Shell, Spanish Mackerel to Monkfish Liver, there are few other places in the city where you can find the sheer variety of fish that Sushi Zen offers. Also, a customer can enjoy 40 different kinds of creative rolls, such as Salmon Lemon Roll, Crouching Tuna Hidden Shrimp Roll, Baked Seafood over California roll, Stuffed Tomato along with well-known rolls like the Las Vegas Roll and the Spider Roll. Besides offering some of the best sushi, Sushi Zen also features a selection of tasty and filling tempura dishes, original salads, mouthwatering hors d'oeuvres, delicious soups and a range of traditional main dishes, including Sukiyaki, Katsu-Don, Saba Shio.

I discovered Sushi Zen in early 2008 and it has been my favorite ever since. Most sushi places are so similar, I didn't realize that even something as basic as maguro could be so much better! At lunch you get a bowl of miso soup to start out and if you're there at dinner, a bowl of edamame greets you at the table along with a few bites of cucumber salad with shrimp. We usually order the kaarage (think Japanese chicken nuggets) which come with a tasty ginger sauce, to start. My favorites are Crouching Tuna Hidden Shrimp Roll (Shrimp tempura roll covered with spicy tuna), the Stuffed Tomato (a peppery, crunchy seafood salad on top of rice wrapped in raw tuna), and White Christmas Roll - which is topped with a tasty wasabi-based cream sauce. Their nigiri is spectacular (I always say I'm going to just eat nigiri and then the rest of the menu reminds me how tasty it ALL is) - it just melts in your mouth. I don't like eel, but my friends swear that the Las Vegas Roll is the best thing on the menu. A couple of basics - Spicy Tuna Roll and Dynamite Roll- are also very reasonably priced and so delicious - the perfect amount of heat without detracting from the flavor of the fish. The service is prompt, but be patient with the sushi on busy nights- they have very talented chefs but they are making these by hand! I've been in a couple of times where an upset (and impatient!) customer gets huffy that it's not out in 10 minutes. Believe me, it's a little wait for the food, but oh-so-worth-it.

The price is right on the sushi and the atmosphere is very friendly. The staff is very nice and the location is great! It's next to Block Buster and Safeway. Try them out it's delicious.

I have gone to Sushi zen for three times in the last two weeks. The service is great and the food came fast. The best hotpot chirashi I have ever had. The stuffed pumpkin is also the best here. Really recommend it if you eat sashimi. I will definitely come back here.
