The dipping sauce included with the steamed gyoza was a perfect complement. The tempura prawns and tempura appetizers were accompanied with a nice sauce. The group all enjoyed the appetizers. Along with the California roll and spicy tuna combo this restaurant provides the perfect balance of wasabi and ginger. Most other places serve the smallest portions of each. The service was very good. I recommend this place and will come back!!! Came back and this time had the California and spicy tuna roll. It was delicious and again plenty of wasabi. One other person at the table had the spicy seafood noodle soup. He was warned about the heat and sure enough he was sweating profusely. Definitely HOT, but again he loved it. The last person who had asked to come back here, no demanded it, loves her Shrimp tempura roll. Glad to come back and enjoy!!

Smelly kind of, too, when I took a bite? It did not taste fresh :/ staff was very quick with their attentiveness and ensured to provide refills as wanted. Also checked in multiple times without interruptions to conversations of table. Immediate seating at the booths when we opened the door to the restaurant. Great service and no complaints. Lots of booths to sit at to host many guests. I do not remember much about decorations, but I liked that the lighting was bright enough to comfortably read the menu because sushi restaurants tend to be so dim. Plenty of parking as it is at a square plaza with other shops and restaurants. also, my plate had a bit of dirt on it :/ I did not say anything because I ultimately chose to not use it

To make it worse, I got sick with pretty severe GI symptoms in the days after eating here. Can't say for certain it was the food, but the timing lines up and it's given me serious pause about the freshness of what they're serving. Sad to say it, but I won't be returning. If you're looking for quality raw fish, there are better options for your money elsewhere in the area.

Reviewing for just the ramen since I haven't tried anything else on their menu…read more My son and I were craving ramen a few weeks ago and we've been trying out different ramen places to compare. We're down the street from Zen and decided to give their ramen a try. Parking is easy to locate but can be a bit crowded since it's in the same lot as Dutch Bros and a couple other shops. When we first entered, we were greeted by an employee (and the Naruto statue at the front hehe). It was fairly empty when we arrived since it was on a Friday around 4ish in the afternoon. You have to pay first when you order. You'll be provided a number placard to place at a table of your choose when you dine in, and your food will be brought to you when it is ready. Drinks are also self-serve (for soda). We decided upon water cups but it's at the same station as the sodas. There is a menu at the cash register for quick ordering if you know what you want (when you walk in, it's on the left). The employee also directed us to a menu with pictures and descriptions of each item (when you walk in, it's on the right). The place definitely has Japanese vibes for the interior decor with its oaky/wooden furniture and warm lighting. Our ramen arrived shortly after we seated ourselves. We both ordered similar spicy ramen, which ended up tasting fairly good. My son really enjoyed his ramen since he liked the level of spiciness and taste of the broth (spicy enough to taste the flavors and feel the heat but not enough to hurt). He also liked that the ingredients were balanced (not an overabundance of just ramen noodles). I did enjoy my ramen as well and shared similar views. My only criticism would be that the ramen options seemed very simplistic and many ingredients were similar, so it didn't feel like much variety. My son and I actually ordered two different kinds of ramen, believe it or not, but from the photos, they look almost identical. There's also only the option of tonkatsu or shoyu broth, regular or spicy. The soft boiled egg was delicious but it would have been nice to receive a full egg instead of just half. They are generous with their chasu portions at least, with its big slices. Not as tender compared to other places I've been to, though, but still tastes good. We enjoyed our experience here though so I can at least say that it's worth trying out the ramen. Not so sure about the sushi burritos but maybe we will consider for next time.

The staff is very friendly and checks in on you throughout your meal, and the ambiance is great - fun decor and good music. The food is solid for the price, and the portion sizes fill you up. I always order the Zen Ramen with and extra egg (duh). I do with the broth were a bit creamier, but that's just my preference. And if you're looking for an appetizer, you can't go wrong with the pork buns!

From the Hawaiian word "poke" meaning "to slice, cut crosswise into pieces, as fish or wood" (see…read moreWehewehe.org, a highly recommended reference for 'Olelo Hawai'i or Native Hawaiian words), this fast food poke experience includes limited dine in seating, boba drinks, ramyun surrounded by kitchy pirate decor. Does it work? Sure. They have the most pleasant bathroom I've ever walked into with their subtle lighting. None of that florescent lighting, yay! What I really appreciate, as a mom, were all of the pirate toys for our little one to play with so we could eat. I don't think enough restaurants have figured out that little secret to welcoming families to your establishment. The poke though had a LOT going on, perhaps too much. I'm Native Hawaiian, who used to work in a fish market, and I love the taste of fish. I don't think it needs to be buried under a gagillion flavors. The sauces could definitely be toned down. The imitation crab and seaweed salad offered subtle flavors and the rice, garbanzo beans and edamame helped balance out some of the other stronger flavors but the toasted garlic and onions were too overpowering. While they do offer build-your-own bowl options, it seems the pricier options. May be easier to request things on the side. For the record, grated carrots do nothing for poke bowls other than add unnecessary texture. I'd avoid them completely.

Service was quick, too, and better than chipotle with their servings. Fish and meats were fresh, which was unexpected on my end for this place. It was such a good surprise. Plenty of parking at the square that this spot is located in. Outside seating arrangements available, too. Made for good leftovers when I went to work the next day.
