The sake is a great choice and pairing it with the Tuna tar tar was a great combo. The wakame salad was a real wakame salad and if you're coming from the states...trust me you never had a real seaweed salad until Zen sushi. Overall a great experience and amazing food...GET IN HERE!

The sushi chefs are exceptionally considerate in their preparations and I've yet to encounter fish here that wasn't fresh which is not at all the case on several other places I've tried in the area. At the end of the day I eat sushi more often than anything else and I travel extensively. Zen is easily on part or above most top end sushi place in terms of prep and clearly at the top of the list in Poland regarding ingredients... this isn't the fish market on Tokyo (where I ate last week) but for Europe it's great. Also be sure to check out their little Japanese runs upstairs. I didn't even realize they were there until yesterday. Wow... I just some people to do some private dining with... anyway enjoy this place. I will continue to.

It was my last day in Kraków and I desperately wanted to try some sushi before leaving. Youmiko…read morestarts at 2 p.m. and I was the first customer ready for "the best sushi ever!" When making the reservation, I wanted to have a nice table, and be sure that I was expected right after opening. The restaurant is tiny. With four small tables at the ground level, and a small room in the basement next to the restroom, it could be a crowded dining experience. The bar is too narrow with uncomfortable-looking seats to be an attractive option, at least for me. I was on time. I immediately noticed that the server had an attitude. She was nonchalant, and not particularly friendly. It was the opposite of any experience I'd had in any Japanese restaurant before. I chose the omakase, which has fourteen pieces / 7 courses. As I sipped a Sapporo beer, I was excited to sample what this place had to offer. The clubbing background tune wasn't the best choice for an early, hot and lazy afternoon. The first bite was the 'European Sea Bass Nigiri'. It was served with way too warm rice. When I picked it up it fell apart. Right after that I got a 'Seared Salmon Belly Nigiri', and again, I didn't like the rice at all. 'The Spicy Tuna Gunkan Maki' was tasty and refreshing. I also thought the 'Salmon Cake' was delightful. The 'Eggplant and Avocado', could be an excellent vegan choice. Next, three pieces of 'Salmon with Passion Fruit Hosomaki' were just fine. The last six pieces were 'Shrimp Tempura Futomaki'. It was very good, but I wouldn't expect that with any omakase. It was just too ordinary and nothing special, plus not what I would order in the first place. Perhaps my expectations were too high and anything other than omakase on the menu would have been more satisfying. Also their rice was a failure. I assume, coming right after opening wasn't the best idea. The price I paid was rather high considering Polish realities. Plus the quality of service didn't help to feel good about the whole experience. I tipped, but didn't hear even a little 'thank you' or anything when I was leaving the restaurant. I'm not planning to return anytime soon.

I don't really think anyone comes to Poland expecting to get fantastic sushi. Given that, I would…read moresay the sushi was good. Compared to what I get at my normal sushi places, it was maybe ok. My biggest concern/suspicion is whether the fish was fresh. We did come in on a Sunday, so perhaps there was a reason they were slow, but if they don't have more clientele than this, I can't imagine they would be able to support fresh food. The service was good, not great. We were one of 2 tables during the entire course of our meal, so they weren't busy. Our beer wasn't brought until after our food order was placed. We had to ask a couple different times for refills. Its not a place I would go out of my way to eat at again.
