Zen Sushi

I moved away from Bishop Arts in 2021 after living there over 10 years and Zen Sushi is one of the things I most miss about the area. The food was inventive and always fresh. I have never seen so many vegetarian and vegan offerings on a sushi menu and they were fantastic. For example, the beet xalapa roll had beets, jalapeño, and paper thin slices of lime and it was delicious. The vegetable Gyoza actually tasted like fresh vegetables, not just fried dough with indistinguishable mushy vegetables. The sweet potato roll, the tofu lettuce wraps, and the yakisoba were other favorites. The cocktails, like the blood and sand and others, were tasty. You know they do not use anything premixed. And the ginger crème brûlée with a hint of ginger and a crackly top was perfect. If you get a chance, go!

Zen Sushi was really good. Not the options I thought of when reading about a Modern take of Japense cuisines. However, service was sort of spoty, but the sushi /sashimi was another level, so it was worth it! I would recommend making a reservation, which I happenend to do through Google itself! It does get busy

They were very accommodating. The appetizers were great. We had the gyoza, chicken fried rice, and miso soup. We also had lots of sushi. The sushi was good, but it was literally falling apart the whole time. I feel like for the amount of money we dropped, they could have rolled the sushi tighter. The service was amazing otherwise.

Not the biggest of sushi selection. They do have some unique items though. Sushi was very tasty and very fresh. Restaurant wasn’t busy at all on a Monday evening. Interesting to see they are only open for dinner. My only complaint would be they were short staffed so we had to wait a bit before our order was taken. Otherwise super friendly and helpful service. Definitely recommended.
