    The sushi was fantastic! Brook was a wonderful server with a lot of knowledge about the different types of fish. She’s personable and professional. We had the Chef’s Selection 18pc sushi platter to share - outstanding! All of the sushi was very fresh and prepared with the perfect sauce and/or tiny accompaniment and/or nothing at all that was just right for the fish. Go to Zen! You’ll be glad you did:)

    Class way above regular sushi restaurants. Exceptional sake list, sushi and sashimi of very high quality and creatively and artistically presented. Not inexpensive, but top quality fish is never going to be - and shouldn't be.

    We’ve been Zen diners for 5+ years. The sushi offerings are outstanding, the freshness is superb, and the quality is elite. The service is stellar. The atmosphere is casual elegance.

    Wow! Excellent service from Brook. Sushi was amazing. Great sake! We started with the sake sampler and then got a bottle. Brook was very helpful on picking out the sake. The fish was the star of the night. We ordered the Nigiri Sashimi Teishoku. We especially enjoyed the sashimi. We added two rolls as well. The only mediocre dish was the ginger salad. Definitely a different level of sushi. Outstanding!
