Zen Japanese Izakaya is recognized as one of the best sushi restaurants in Houston, celebrated for its fresh and unique ingredients, some imported from Japan. Customers can enjoy a variety of dishes, including the eel bowl, sushi lunch special, and nigiri, all for around $100. The appetizers are warm, crispy, and tangy, and many guests appreciate the authenticity of the restaurant, which features Japanese chefs. The fish for the chirashi and eel bowl is very fresh with good-sized cuts and rice at the perfect texture. The Otoro is particularly noted for being fresh and melting in the mouth. The menu caters to every family member's needs, offering everything from traditional sushi to cooked dishes. The cozy atmosphere features beautiful Japanese-style decor, welcoming staff, and a large number of Japanese diners, making it a popular spot among the Japanese community in Houston. Though the service can vary, many reviews mention great and attentive service, with beautifully presented food enhancing the overall dining experience. The restaurant is often described as comforting, with clean facilities and a welcoming vibe that keeps customers coming back.
