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!
November 2025
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.
September 2025
We were there the night the power went out (a large swath of West Van was without electricity). So we got only our Maki rolls and a drink before we headed out. Very good service, good food (we have eaten there frequently), and this time a little excitement.
