Zen Japanese Izakaya is one of the best sushi restaurants in Houston, known for its fresh and unique ingredients, even some from Japan. Customers can enjoy a variety of dishes, including the eel bowl, takoyaki, fried chicken, chirashi bowl, and nigiri, all for around $100. The appetizers are warm, crispy, and tangy, while the fish for the chirashi and eel bowl is very fresh with good-sized cuts and rice at the perfect texture. The Shimaji fish nigiri is particularly fresh and tender, with a hint of the ocean. Customers praise the restaurant's authenticity, with a large menu that caters to every family member's needs, from traditional sushi to cooked dishes. The small and cozy restaurant has a Japanese-inspired decor, welcoming staff, and is a popular spot among the Japanese community in Houston.
