“I’m so gobsmacked at how amazing this food is that I’m writing a review while I’m still here. We had 5 nigiri sushi rolls, the crispy spicy tuna appetizer, and the wagyu sliders. It was the most incredible meal I’ve ever had. You must come here - the server we had (Umida) was insanely amazing and super helpful - she really elevated the experience and made sure we didn’t order too much food!”

“First thing first, the sushi is really fresh. We got the toro, salmon belly, and the yellowtail belly. Saba is a little fishy. The rice is a bit mushy but good enough. The cooked food is not as great. The agedashi tofu has too much breading and taste average. Kaiju tar tar is okayyy. The service however took forever, and they never come to check up on us. Servers reach over to get dishes for other tables. Maybe they are short staffed but they should still handle us probably.”

The matcha was super yummy, on par or better with any specialty coffee/tea place. The Okinawa sugar made it elevated, though I ordered it less sweet. Will def be back!”

Including “fancy” sit downs, take out, literally just any place… the way the chicken tastes here is unbeatable and the price is amazing too. Could eat this place everyday and be happy. Rating it a full 10/10 which I never do… highly recommend if you never tried it before.”

“So, my girlfriend and I hit up Zen Toro for her birthday, and let me tell you, it was fantastic. That edamame with the soy glaze? We were practically licking our fingers. The rolls were fresh, and we kept looking at each other after each bite like, “Yep, that’s good.” And the shishito peppers? Just the right amount of char and that sauce had us dipping them like there was no tomorrow. We enjoyed it so much that we’re already talking about when we’ll be back. It’s definitely a new favorite.”

“I genuinely don’t understand why this place doesn’t have more stars. I absolutely loved my food. Everything was so flavorful and fresh. I ordered the large chicken breast plate with fried rice and it was honestly perfect. The chicken breast was cooked just right, juicy and tender, not dry at all. The vegetables were seasoned really well and the fried rice was one of the best I’ve had in a long time. Even my mom, who is an extremely picky eater and usually prefers home cooked meals, loved it. That alone says a lot. On top of that, the price point is great for the portion size and quality. Definitely worth it. I’ll be back.”

“The $43 for one lobster tail and filet mignon plate threw me off but should've known since NO prices are listed. We were coming from the winery so we didn't care. But steakhouse prices on a food truck, at least I can sit down at a restaurant, get sake and a show. Nevertheless, food was 🔥 so no complaints there.”
