Zen Sushi

Irene was so sweet and helpful. I appreciated her knowledge and diligence in serving our dinner. The octopus and tuna sashimi was delightful! I loved their yellowtail and have been craving more. Quiet for a Saturday night, and that was nice for an intimate dinner date. See you again soon, Zen!

Pretty good! I really like how unique this place is with their vegan sushi.I just wished they were more attentive to our table, it took a long time to get our second order in! Ambiance is great, it's in the bishop arts district so it's perfect!

Zen Sushi is a nice establishment and the go-to Bishop Arts sushi spot, but is lacking in all the areas required to reach 5-star status.The décor, service quality, and sushi taste isn't up to par with the price. The Bishop Arts District already has so many unique fine dining establishments (E.g. Paradiso, Lucia, Nora, Eno's, etc.) that Zen Sushi feels a little been-there-done-that. If I were Zen I'd try to occupy the niche that Bishop Arts doesn't have yet: A chill, cheap, open-late sushi spot that caters to locals with a smaller/cozier dining room and fewer operating costs. Perhaps even better, ramp up the website to place an emphasis on take-out and update the menu to highlight Asian night-in staples like fried rice and dumplings.The food was great but under the existing vibe and price I think Zen is relegated to 4-star status.

The sushi is GREAT, however, it is pretty expensive so be warned. I usually get any of the sushi dishes with spicy mayo.

Zen has become a Mecca for foodies who want to celebrate Valentine's Day with something very special! We're honored to know and patronize Chef Michelle!

This is my second time here! The service here is quick and not too many interruptions.i am so happy they offer so many vegan options! Pictured are For different rolls i have picked. This is such a great date night spot! No need to place reservations, we were seated instantly!

Everything we ate was delicious, service was quick and polite!Delicious menu items:Margarita w/sugar rimShared steamed lobster Pork and shrimp egg rollsYakitori California roll

Went November 26th. Zen is a neat place in bishop and has some good things for sure but could use a couple things to put it over the top. I had the miso soup which I found more than a little disappointing (wouldn't recommend). The sushi was good we tried the vegan Inari maki, spider roll, California moon, and jalapeño roll. Of these I would say the California moon was the best and most surprising. The menu seems to be catered more toward vegan/vegetarian so I would say this is a great place for that crowd.

Nice place for a date. I enjoyed the green menu with plenty of vegetarian and vegan options. The vegetable gyoza was delicious and I'd go back again just for that. There was only one sushi chef when I went which wasn't a big deal for me but the waitress was very apologetic and attentive because of that. The sushi however wasn't the best I've had, it was good but not worth going back again to get.

Went here with my friend last night. The place was half-empty on a Saturday night. We asked to be seated at a booth and the hostess huffily informed us she was saving those for larger parties -- even though most of the booths that were occupied were parties of two, like us. So we sat down in the uncomfortable little bar seats and looked around at the drab and dated decor while we waited, and waited and waited to be acknowledged.Then I remembered there was supposed to be a new sushi place opening in Bishop Arts, but weren't sure if it was open yet. We decided to find out. Otaru Sushi is in fact open. Everything is brand new. The decor is nice, The seating is comfortable. They let us sit at an open table without giving us attitude. The food was absolutely fantastic.Had it not been for the rude hostess at Zen who wanted to keep the booths open for imaginary parties who weren't showing up, we never would have found the other place! So thank you to her. Zen clearly got a little too comfortable with being the only sushi place in Bishop Arts and they really need to up their game and get a better attitude if they're not going be left behind. Not my problem though! I have better options and I won't be back.
