Sushi Zen & Izakaya

Absolutely phenomenal experience at Sushi Zen & Izakaya in Sunny Isles Beach, Florida. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere immediately transports you modern, elegant, vibrant, and incredibly inviting. The cherry blossom décor, ambient lighting, and stylish Japanese inspired design create one of the most visually stunning sushi restaurants in Sunny Isles.

The sushi is exceptionally fresh, beautifully presented, and crafted with true attention to detail. Every dish feels like a fine dining experience while still maintaining a warm and energetic izakaya vibe. The cocktails and drinks pair perfectly with the menu, and the overall quality of the ingredients truly stands out.

What really elevates Sushi Zen is the service attentive, welcoming, professional, and genuinely passionate about the customer experience. Whether it’s a casual dinner, date night, or celebration, this place delivers on every level.

Easily one of the best sushi and izakaya experiences in Sunny Isles Beach and all of South Florida. Highly recommended and absolutely deserving of 5 stars.

The service was horrible. Had to wait for an hour just to have appetizers. After having the appetizers, we were waiting to order the main course, nobody was coming to even ask what we want. Finally got tired of waiting asked for a check and left hungry. The waitress didnt even seem like she cared after bringing it up that we had to wait for so long.

Waited 1 hour for 3 miso soups, calamari, and shrimp app. Didn't even get a chance to order main course when we gave up because it was getting too late for our kid that fell asleep at the table. Had to ask for the check to leave. Very disappointed with our waiter that was very attentive to a big party next to us. Completely ignoring our table. She did take the 18% gratuity off the bill with ease because she knew that it was definitely unjustified to force us to pay that. We all were eager and excited to eat there because of good reviews and ended up ruining our dinner and waist of time and money.

Good afternoon my family serviced hallelujah

While the staff were friendly and professional, the extremely long wait time ruined the entire experience. This isn’t a staff issue — it’s clearly a management problem. The owner needs to take responsibility for how poorly this place is being run. Customers should not have to wait this long for food. Until this is fixed,I’m so sorry I wouldn’t recommend coming here.

Very good food

I can't recommend this place. Very disorganized and slow. Long wait to get a waitress. Long wait for first dish. Dishes came out 20 minutes apart from each other. Another group got up and left. The restaurant was not busy either. The food we got was okay.
