Lived around the corner for years. Zen is awesome, don’t let the looks deceive you. Dinner or lunch bento box is a great deal, and the sushi is shockingly good. Inside/atmosphere is basically pick up your order and bounce as opposed to a sit down dinner spot but imo this is more of a takeout spot anyways. Definitely recommend.

Zen Asian Diner’s food is FANTASTIC! I waited through my whole pregnancy to have sushi and we ordered from here. IT WAS AMAZING! In the last week, I have had their sushi or sashimi three times! Their menu has a great variety of different Asian foods. My husband really enjoys their General Tso’s Chicken saying that it is way better than other places’. Today we dined in the restaurant where the staff was very friendly and fast. The meals’ presentations were lovely.

Had their dragon & Phoenix. Portion size, temp, flavor, freshness and presentation was all on point. I'd return there for that dish alone. Had a philly roll. In my opinion. It was mediocre and matched the styrofoam plate it arrived on. Service was a little on the low end especially for a place that only has 4-5 tables. I do appreciate the more traditional music they played in house though.
Over all 3.5 rating and would still return to try more dishes.
