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, while 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. Customers admire the restaurant's authenticity, with a large menu that caters to every family member's needs, from traditional sushi to cooked dishes. The cozy atmosphere features beautiful Japanese-style decor, welcoming staff, and it is a popular spot among the Japanese community in Houston. Though the service can vary, with some tables receiving quicker attention, the overall dining experience is complemented by beautifully presented food and excellent service.
