We love Zen Sushi - they have so many creative options of rolls and sushi / sashimi that you don't find at other places. The staff is also very helpful and friendly.

I made reservations for my wifes birthday and asked for the chef to make something special. We got there and ordered. The young waitress mentioned it was my wifes birthday and said oh, we just give you a free desert when youre done. We said ok and ordered. She later on dropped a little slip of paper at the other end of the table we were sitting and walked away. I thought i was just so they knew all that we had ordered so didnt pay much attention to it. I asked her to ask the chef to make us something of his choosing foe the occasion and she seemed bewildered but said ok. We got our food and were almoat through when I asked her if the chef was almoat done with whatever he was making. She again looked confused and said oh, i didn't know you wanted something, then said well the chef dis make this special because he put all the sushi on one plate. The she appologiclzed and said do you want to order more food, ill go tell him. I said no its fine. So she walked away. When we were getting up to leave i glanced at the slip of paper - it was all the fresh fish they had gotten the day before AND THE REASON I CHOSE THAT PLACE! I had no idea thats what the paper was and the waitress never said anything. This was our first time at this place and the first time my wife could have sushi in several years due to breastfeeding. While the food was good and the waitress was overly present and nice, it was highly frustrating that we werent able to order the new fish and that the girl didnt tell the chef anything. Several missed opportunities for not only upsales, but for us to get what we actually went there for. I dont know that we will be back. It was a disappointment. Im also much more annoyed than my wife was/is, but I also make the reservations for us.

Service wasn't bad, the establishment needs one more server during busy times. Other than that food and drinks were excellent.

Hands down the best sushi resteraunt I have been to in the US. It is the only place I have found o-toro outside of Japan. A superb experience, it was as close to dining in Japan as you can get. Thank you!
Chris
Faviorate sushi joint, chefs platter is always great and every roll is delicious. Cocktails are also outstanding, is is the service!
Betty
Service, food, and ambiance were perfect. Sushi was so fresh, rice was sticky, and our server was exceptional!
Lee Ann
The sushi was fantastic! Brook was a wonderful server with a lot of knowledge about the different types of fish. She's personable and professional. We had the Chef's Selection 18pc sushi platter to share - outstanding! All of the sushi was very fresh and prepared with the perfect sauce and/or tiny accompaniment and/or nothing at all that was just right for the fish. Go to Zen! You'll be glad you did:)
David
Wonderful selection of fresh fish to choose from. Very friendly attentive staff. Good selection of sake & whiskey.
Peter
Class way above regular sushi restaurants. Exceptional sake list, sushi and sashimi of very high quality and creatively and artistically presented. Not inexpensive, but top quality fish is never going to be - and shouldn't be.
Bryan
Amazing food. Very good quality and freshness of fish. A5 Wagyu was buttery soft. Fried cheesecake and mochi are very good. Kayla was and amazing server.
Zen never ceases to amaze and dazzle me. Exquisite sushi. Outstanding service. And a memorable dining experience.

We've been Zen diners for 5+ years. The sushi offerings are outstanding, the freshness is superb, and the quality is elite. The service is stellar. The atmosphere is casual elegance.

If you get a bowl they fill most of the bowl up with rice.. It tastes good for the first 5 bites and the rest is rice.

Zen Sushi has outstanding sushi! We enjoy sushi every we go and Zen is at the top of the list. My wife and I had a wonderful dinner experience. Adam did a great job providing excellent service. Zen Sushi has our highest recommendation. We will be back the next time we visit Lexington.

Zen is our top choice for sushi in Lexington. However, it was a little off its usual amazing standard. Dumpling soup and rolls were fantastic. Server was a little too eager and 18 pc sashimi plate was just okay.
