I go to Zen every time I'm in Vancouver. Best Japanese restaurant ever! Food and service is top notch. And then there are the wonderful servers, Chris and Rebecca. They are a credit to Zen!

Fantastic sushi restaurant in all aspects. It’s great to have gluten free menu. It’s nice to enjoy sushi and tempura again without having allergies. Highly recommend the location is stunning with peekaboo views to the ocean.
