The workers greeted us very warmly & they were all working hard & skillfully like a well oiled machine...you could tell the servers & sushi chefs were well seasoned. It was a very warm day and we were seated by the front windows, which even with the thick curtains, was still acting like a radiant heated wall! Not a big deal for me as I run cold, but if you are a hot person...this might have bothered you. I was actually wearing a tank top so I was perfect...it was double date night. The fish on sushi & sashimi platters was buttery & fresh. Lots of roll varieties too just how I like it. We started with some appetizers, nice sized shareable portions of tempura calamari & chicken karage. We also ordered agedashi tofu & veggie & shrimp temp, perfect portion sizes for a party of 4 for appetizers. No one ordered any entrees or bentos...although they look really good, we stuck to sushi. They give you a sushi list and a pen and you mark down what you want yourself...I like that too, more control on server making mistakes! I love trying ikura(salmon roe) at different restaurants to see if the chefs marinate the delicate eggs or not. I was pleasantly surprised to find this order of ikura marinated. It was slightly sweet with a hint of sake and not too salty as some restaurants will make it. This order was rich & creamy with the addition of quail egg. We ordered a small sashimi combo with salmon, yellowtail, toro & another white fish...I don't know if it was bonito or what, they didn't go over the items when they dropped the dish...but it was the one in the front on the left. They have an extensive roll list which has a ton of California based rolls topped with numerous options. All really good, but California roll base is kind of boring...maybe they could switch up the centers a little. We got Las Vegas roll...completely deep fried, yummy if you like that type of roll, Polar Bear roll, Cali roll topped with white tuna & seared salmon...YUM, a lemon salmon roll, Cali roll topped with salmon & lemon segments...they go so well together!!!! We also had a Firecracker roll which is a spicy tuna roll topped with more spicy tuna & fried minced garlic...really good with a little extra heat, maybe some jalapeños minced up in there but so tasty. We also ordered a White Christmas roll which is a shrimp tempura roll topped with white tuna, Avacado & a wasabi cream sauce...super tasty. Can't have sushi without a Spider roll & I always have an ume shiso roll...this one had lots of julienned cucumbers in it & a negihama roll to appease my clean, raw fish craving. Excellent sushi & the wait for our food was good. We had reservations & I definitely recommend taking the time to make one if you want guaranteed seating, I saw a lot of walk ins turned away or told they'd have an ample wait. If you're up north, I'd highly recommend Sushi Zen.

Sushi Zen is consistently fantastic. With a huge vegetarian selection, it's a plant-based person's haven! The takeout and delivery options are just as high in quality, too. ♡ Absolutely love getting sushi from here.

Great fresh sushi and miso soup. We had some nigiri sushi and four rolls. Most of what we ordered was standard stuff but we got the Seattle Tempura roll too and it was very good. We got there early for dinner and they filled up fast. Looks like it’s a popular spot.Parking: The whole lot was empty when we arrived and we parked right in front of the door. There were more cars when we left but still plenty of parking.Wheelchair accessibility: There is s spot for wheelchairs to get on the sidewalk close to the front door. I was with my grandpa who uses a walker and he picked it up to get onto the sidewalk but use the access to get back down when we left.
Great all around, very busy place place but worth the wait. I would recommend calling in for reservations.

Very fresh sushi. If you want high quality fresh fish check our Sushi Zen. It is a bit more expensive than other local sushi restaurants but you are getting fish in my opinion. Restaurant is smaller and always packed. Call for reservations, if not, they will work you in.
