I came here the other day because I was craving both sushi and ramen. I was pleased with how fast the service was and the staff were very friendly and professional. The sushi was really good and the ramen was okay. The food was a bit pricey. I enjoyed the atmosphere of the restaurant and a vaccination card was not asked for at the door. I recommend trying their crazy shrimp roll and Unagi shrimp roll.

Zencu has always been a great restaurant to eat at, been coming here for a long long time. I was introduced to this place by a good friend and now I am happy to introduce Zencu to friends and family.+ Food was fantastic and tasty, no regrets with what we ordered. I Always happy to try different items each time I visit.+ Service was great, we were taken care of by the great waiting staff. Kudos to the staff for being so kind and helpful.+ Atmosphere was lively and busy, great place for dates or to get a bite with friends and or family.+ They validate parking.- Nothing to complain about here.Overall you will enjoy Zencu and don't forget that they have a "A" rating if that helps.

Absolutely wonderful presentation, fast service and really satisfying.REMEMBER: Tip is included in the total when given the bill.

Host seems to be in a rush and rude. Pricy food for an slice of pork noodles and half of an egg with broth. Will not come back.

I’m a huge fan of sushi (as you can tell by visiting my profile), and I’ve been to MANY awesome sushi spots… with that being said, Zencu is absolutely the best one I’ve had the pleasure of eating at. The variety is large, and the quality is amazing. The sauces, the fruits, the meats… all incredible. I had 4 different kinds of sushi here (shared amongst others), and there wasn’t one I didn’t like. Not to mention the service, it was great. Very kind and patient waitresses. If you’re looking for an authentic sushi experience with the best sushi in the country, this is the place. Can’t beat the prices or the quality.

Big portions of the most bland food.Mango Crunch Roll was drowned in crunch.This place is the Panda Express of sushi.We maybe ate a quarter of the food, had to stop as not to get sick.

Delicious Sushi and great service!!! It's very quiet and enjoyable!!! Highly recommend this restaurant for Sushi.

Use to come here all the time and loved it! I brought so many friends here I even once went twice in 1 night with 2 different friend groups. No other place offered the roll specials they had ($3/$6/$9). And the beer pitcher can be pretty well priced too.HOWEVER the last time I went, about 2 months ago, I noticed the sushi signs were no longer there and I was told they are not doing the roll specials anymore..... Really sad to hear and I haven't been back since.I love sushi and live nearby but I am not rich, places like Zencu allowed me to frequently get sushi within my budget. I've seen other photos posted from 2 months ago that show the sushi signs updated to $4/$7/$10 which I would do!!! I guess I will check next time to see if it's true. But if not well then I guess I have to find another affordable go-to sushi spot nearby :(

Great place to have dinner, staff always so friendly and welcoming. Only downfall is that they no longer validate parking… but nonetheless everything is good and good is delicious!

I went just before the kitchen close around 9:30 but was served quickly with some delicious fresh crispy calamari.
