Nice chat with the main chef when I visit this restaurant. She is very knowledgeable about the nigiri ? and different salts that I have never heard about it. I like the atmosphere in there and definitely will come again if I visit Lex again. Plus I also like the Zensai-crispy rice the boy chef made it, the sauce is my favorite. ? yummy
This was my first time to Zen. The server was amazing. The food and drinks were phenomenal. We order the Edamame, the Beaumont and the Xooker rolls which were selected by our server and the Nigiri Teishoki. Our drinks were A Single Plum and the Lychee Sakatini. I will definitely be back!

Best sushi in Kentucky hands-down. I am so happy this place is in Lexington, I hope they continue to open locations. Ambience is also 10/10 and the owner was so nice! Love this place!

Last night dinner at Zen saw the largest varied list of choices for sushi & sashimi that I can recall. All fresh having come in yesterday. There were at least 12 choices that I can recall on the menu. I only had room for 6 - sad. Sake menu remains excellent. They also have a variety of rolls & cooked items. Encourage anyone who likes Japanese food to give it a try.

It was our first time dining there with our daughter. My husband isn't a sushi fan so I wanted to make sure there were things on the menu that he could order. Our server Brook was awesome and very knowledgeable about the menu and food. Everything we ordered was so good! We definitely will be back!

On Monday & Thursday the fish comes in fresh from Japan and other fisheries around the, including recently Turkey, Iceland, Faroe Islands, New Zealand.They have a good sake list. There is a very broad list of Japanese & Kentucky whiskies. June, the head sushi chef, has a wealth of knowledge about fish in general. Highly recommend giving this small place in Beaumont a try.
Fantastic meal! Cool atmosphere. Service was top-notch. Highly recommend calling ahead and reserving an omakase from the friendly & talented chef. Nice selection of cocktails too. Glad we tried it and will most definitely return.
Best sushi I've had in a long while. Very creative roll combinations.

This place always has great fish. Last night I had 5 different fish than I had ever tried. Chef said they didn't arrive until about 1700. Now that is as fresh you can have. Tried a new sake also - even better than my usual Kikusui. To cap it off, the owner was back a month after the birth of her son, their first!

Love this place! Great staff! Each piece of the Sashimi Teishoku (18 piece Chef's choice) is a miniature masterpiece and a a testament to the chef's expertise. A feast for the eyes and the flavors explode on your tongue!

Once again, Zen hit the mark with great fish. Last night they even had fresh Uni & Hotate. The Kani salad with avocado & crunch was a hit. Full bar with many choices of sake & whiskey, including multiple Japanese varieties. I anticipate that we will continue to make it in 1-2 times each week as long as we are in town.

Thank you Chef for the extra touches to make everything as beautiful as well as delicious! Thank you Adam for controlling the flow of the food and great service! Still BLOWS my mind how good something so simple as fried rice can be... it's the best at Zen!! And I don't say that lightly. Though it does lay lightly on you palate when you eat it. Only place I've ever raved about their rice... crazy, but Amazing!
