Make sure you tell them to turn their Closed signs around! We thought they had shut down, but they had outdoor dining still set up 🤔 Check the door because these guys have the best soft shell crabs, spicy tuna stuffed mushrooms, and great deal on saki and a big beer. A hidden gem for sure! 😋
Got lured in by the $1 sake bomb & had a nice casual meal in PB for about $30. Service was awesome, got a few things on the house. 5 stars for a casual sushi spot! 🍣
Sushi was okay for being cheap in pacific beach. It was not high quality and most rolls are California rolls with fish on top for a topping. Not creative but reliable for people who are new to sushi/aren't too adventurous. Miso soup lacked flavor... server was nice.

Zen 5 is a Japanese restaurant in San Diego with fresh, tasty fish and friendly service. Open until 10 pm on Fridays, it offers a relaxing dining experience. Despite initial skepticism, the affordable sushi spot won over a first-time visitor with its delicious rolls, especially the Rob roll. The spicy yellowtail could have been more flavorful, but the specialty rolls impressed with their freshness. The ambiance, with reggae music playing at a pleasant volume, added to the overall enjoyable experience. The quick service and welcoming staff ensure a return visit is likely for those looking for a satisfying Japanese meal.
