Zen16 Sushi Cafe

I am a regular customer and usually get the excellent quality sushi and seaweed but yesterday I tried the chicken pad thai and requested no scallions due to a good allergy and, guess, the meal was perfect!If you are reading this, you NEED to eat here!

Really enjoyed the food here, the miso was on point and the rolls where smackin.Listen, I am a sushi addict and this place hit the spot. The rolls were dope and the fish and ingredients were super fresh and the chef is talented; the right amount of every ingredient, the fish was perfectly selected.We had miso soup, great flavor with alot of texture, really enjoyed it. The shumi soup is a must try, even if you share it, it's bussin-bussin; I'll be back just for that, just an unforgettable taste.The Sushi chef must have been trained by the dopest of Jedi foodies. The specialties rolls are executed to perfection and the presentation is awesome; really enjoyed the combinations and was just an enjoyable meal made by someone that really takes pride in making great tasting food.They also offer gluten free soy sauce and are very aware of what contains gluten and cross contamination, so even when we modified our roll and the chef still nailed it. Listen, if you are local, or just passing through on the interstate, and love sushi, this is the place to stop in a enjoy it. We stopped in at 10:00 on a Saturday night and the place was a ghost town but the door was none stop DoorDash and Uber, it didn't take us long to figure it out. We will def be back.

There are better options than Zen Sushi if you are craving a nice sushi dinner. We ordered steamed shrimp shumai as well as the pork shumai with wasabi. The steamed shrimp shumai were standard. Neither of us cared for the wasabi shumai. They were very large and full of pork though. We ordered 3 special rolls and a standard roll. Despite being different, they all tasted similar and mushy. The crab meat was very fishy. We really did not enjoy them at all. We also ordered spring rolls. The filling was not chopped and kinda slimy. All in all, a super disappointing $85 meal.

The food is ok not great. Customer service isn't as good as other place. I walked in by myself, and tried to ask if I can sit by the bar. I asked her if I can sit somewhere else (the bar), she said :"no, you sit here", then she walked me to the table which is fine to me. I don't know if it's because I'm by myself or not. Later on, there are a group of 3 people coming, and she asked if they want to sit by the bar or not. It's so unfair. I feel that when you come in with a lot of people, they will greet you better than just by yourself. She is so busy chatting with other group of people while I was waiting for the check. The check is not as other place, it just shows the total money not break down items (picture attached). This place doesn't have special deal for lunch on Saturday, Sunday and holiday.

Zen16 is phenomenal!! Their spicy mayo is gluten free so many special rolls can be made Celiac safe! They are so careful about cross contamination and I have never had an issue. The rolls are delicious and the fish is very fresh. My favorite sushi place in Bel Air. Hands down!!!

Ordered using Grubhub pickup. Tempura was crispy and not oily at all. The dipping sauce for it was on point. Chicken katsu was also crispy and like the tempura was cooked fresh to order. Not a fan of the spring rolls as the wrapper was a little too thick and probably could use a minute or two more in the fryer. Also ordered the pad Thai which had large chunks of chicken breast. The entreé was ok though looked like it was missing flavors of garlic and scrambled eggs. It came with a small container of crushed peanuts and half a lime. Everythjng was packaged very neatly and came with the dipping sauces in ramekins and utensils including chopsticks. I'd definitely return for the tempura and katsu but pass on the noodle dish.

This was our first time having the sushi at Zen16 and it was great! We ordered four rolls and they were excellent and filled with lots of flavorful ingredients. The sashimi was delicious and the pieces of yellowtail were HUGE. Maybe a little on the pricey side overall but I think the portions more than made up for the extra costs. We also had to wait a little while to pick up our order, but there was only one sushi chef working, so I think they might have had a hopefully temporary staffing issue. We're kind of new to Bel Air and have been trying out some different sushi restaurants and this is one we will definitely be going back to!

A little pricier for sushi compared to other local spots but yummy. I got the spicy tuna, California, and shrimp tempura rolls and they were good. Just missing the cucumber and avocado in the shrimp tempura roll!

My favorite sushi restaurant! Food is always fresh and perfectly prepared. Very clean and nicely decorated. They offer beer and wine as well.

So overpriced and highly confused about what each roll should consist of. A BALTIMORE ROLL is crabmeat and avocado. Get it right. On Uber Eats it doesn't offer a descriptor. I can't believe this was $10.00. You should be ashamed.
