I don’t normally leave reviews, but the owners here are extremely nice, there is a nice community of regular customers inside, and the prices are very reasonable. The $7 student lunch bowls are spectacular value.

This is our favorite sushi spot in SF. Delicious rolls, fresh fish and friendly neighborhood atmosphere. Prices are reasonable too!

Hands down one of my favorite sushi places in the sunset. The food is always tastes fantastic, and with the generous portions, you absolutely get your money's worth. Staff is friendly, and every once in a while they'll even throw in a little freebie nigiri with my order. Cannot recommend this place enough.

We love sushi Zen so much I almost don't want to tell you how good it is, but they deserve all the praise in the world. Delicious food, warm atmosphere, kind staff, unbeatable prices.

This is one of the best hidden gems around. The sushi is phenomenal and the prices are insanely low compared to other sushi of the same high quality. The staff is wonderful and so kind and warm. This is the spot to patronize both for dine-in and take-out. Great work, Sushi Zen!

I'm always here for school lunch when they have a student deal for to go (warning: between 11am and 1pm on most weekdays, theres usually a lot of High Schoolers eating inside, they're so sweet to let them dine in). I sometimes come after school and full price isn't bad. I usually get a sushi combo, teriyaki bowl, or katsu bowl. All portions are amazing and the food is amazing. Literally everyone serving and making the food is so sweet. I've never had a bad experience here and I go here 1-3 times a week.

I was craving for bento box and found this restaurant so close to my place, and yet I’ve never dined or ordered take out from here until today. And based and these great reviews, I decided to order lunch bento box to go. When I got home, I’m shocked that the little box containing rice they gave me was a little half full and it SMELLS!! Wow! For $22 lunch, how dare they gave me so little rice that is old and smelly. They think I’m a fool. I’m bloody asian and I live on rice my whole life. I’s appalling how restaurant gives old food to take out customers. This restaurant isn’t the first to do this. Even the rice that I cooked in my rice cooker doesn’t smell that bad after 3 days sitting in rice cooker. I called and complained and brought the rice over to show them and asked the guy who gave me the rice to smell it. The rice they gave me looks like left over rice from a customer who dined in that they saved from a week or so ago. Yikes!! So gross!! The guy said the rice was cooked in the morning. If he thinks I’d believe that, he’s stupid. I told him to smell it and compare it with the replacement rice, which was full, and smells what fresh cooked rice supposed to smell. Geez! I wanted to support small local business, but if this is what I got; no thanks! Would NEVER EVER ever come to this place ever again. EVER! Uff…this kills my appetite!

This has been my go to sushi spot since living in Snohomish for the past few years. Akisan is the main sushi master and he was always fun to talk too. All the staff is very friendly and attentive. The rolls are very fresh and generous portions. I always get the salmon lemon roll and Philly roll and it's great for the price. I took my daughter there for her birthday and ordered her the banana tempura ice cream and they took it off the check and put a candle and lit it for her. Definetly recommend for sushi rolls!

Sushi Zen is a gem of the Sunset. The sushi and Japanese dinners are top quality and the portion sizes are big (too big maybe!). It is a family run restaurant who treat the customers like family as well. Definitely a good spot for special occasions!
