Dinner at Zen this week. Restaurant is not fancy, and seats are a bit worn. But staff are quick to greet and seat us. Menus are on the table and then you receive a paper order sheet. We choose various single and multiple items from the sheet to start our “ all you can eat sushi dinner for two hours”. Green tea, miso soup, spicy tuna cones, sashimi, salads, sushi, maki rolls, tempura, spring rolls, gyoza, ribs, scallops and golden buns come out on individual small plates. Portions are average or small sized but there are no limits ( except on sashimi which is 3” pieces per person) so order more is needed. I really like the fact that if you want one , or three you can order that exact number.Friendly staff ask us more than once if we would like anouther order sheet and keep our table clean if empty plates.
Once again this is not a fancy location. This is a family operated, casual, local , restaurant that encourages your table to have conversations with each other throughout your stay
The service is pretty good. The rolls are quite delicious and the sashimi is fresh with large pieces. I don't like how they charge an automatic gratuity on groups of 5 or more- that's a bit outrageous. I also don't like how they don't tell you when they are out of something for all you can eat.
Great place to sample different Japanese dishes and a fun outing. We enjoyed the private booths. Don't forget to order the hot dishes at the bottom of the menu - shrimp and yam tempura were excellent.
