First time eating Sushi Zen was a success! Everything tasted great! It was a long wait for takeout but it was totally worth it! I tried some new rolls based on friend requests and I was happily surprised! The things I didn’t like were strictly based on personal preference (ex. don’t love soft shell crab) but the flavors were there! I look forward to next time

I truly do not get the hype. Both times we were here the food was terrible. I love sushi, as does my husband, but even the avocado roll was bad. Horrible quality fish, the sushi just isn't good, and the chicken was dry and gross in the bento box. I just don't get it. The servers are nice, very friendly, but the food takes forever and the product is not worth the wait. Especially if you have kids.

We stumbled upon this place while we were in the area and were drawn in by the high reviews—now we understand why.
The sashimi boat was outstanding, and the variety of wasabi they offer is impressive. We make it a point to stop here whenever we’re nearby, including later today. A+

We had the most wonderful experience! The food was amazing, delicious fried dumplings and fresh sushi. A highlight was the service. Our server, Belle, was superb. Attentive, friendly and knowledgeable.

Love the sushi here definitely one of the best ones I’ve had so far, the sushi is tasteful and they have a large variety. Every time I’m back in Michigan this place is a must for me.

The best sushi restaurant in Brighton. We love coming here for some delicious sushi 🍣. If you don’t want to wait definitely call in a take out order because they do get busy.

I absolutely loved this place! The salad was good. I am not a miso soup person, so it wasn't for me, but it you like miss soup it may be for you. We started with an order of Gyoza. Next, We had an Avocado Roll, U of M Roll, Mamacita Roll, and one other roll that i cannot remember the name of. The tastes were amazing and very flavorful. The Mamacita roll even had a soy bean wrapper which made for a very interesting and flavorful experience. I cannot wait to go back.
A trendy, Americanized Japanese spot offering a wide variety of creative dishes. The sashimi was impressively fresh, though the sushi was average. Overall, it’s a crowd-pleaser that caters to many palates.

Sushi Zen — Brighton’s Crown Jewel of Rolls 🍣 This is the only sushi spot I’ll go to — and trust me, once you try it, you’ll understand why. Order the Boss Roll, I Love Roll, and California Roll — the holy trinity of flavor. I’ve taken multiple sushi skeptics here, and every single one left a believer.
The rolls hit that perfect sweet–tangy balance. The California Roll acts as a gentle palate reset before you dive back into the main attractions. The Boss Roll brings the punch, the I Love Roll seals the deal.
The owner’s as warm as the rice, and the kitchen? Spotless and surgical. They get fresh produce every morning from a supplier who basically worships the avocado — and it shows. When they rolled out the Crab Rangoon Roll, I swear my mouth started watering harder than Niagara Falls.
Avoid the 5 p.m. Friday/Saturday rush unless you like waiting — but no matter when you go, it’s always worth it. 5/5 — sushi sorcery at its finest.

Missing a roll, caught by front desk and corrected. I love that attention to detail! Only thing missed was kids chopstick holders, which they intended roads

As a sushi lover, this is a place I frequent but not just for the sushi! The atmosphere here is amazing. Clean, decorated based on the time of year, chill, efficient…recently I had Beth for a seating hostess (called ahead to check on wait time and she was helpful) and Tyler for a waitress and I loved both. The starburst martini is delicious and I highly recommend the zorro roll, orange crush, screaming tuna, and the snowman.
